Chapter 6
" Whose side are you on, mine or their's ? "
" No one's . I just want everyone to be happy."
" Someone is bound to be hurt. Either me or them."
" Do you really want the whole family to hate that girl ? "
" They'll love her once they give her a chance."
" It won't happen seeing that all were dreaming Gudiya as your wife."
" You too, Keshav? "
" Well, I thought you were happy with her."
" Everyone is thinking of Gudiya only. No one is thinking about me. I never promised her anything, then why all are blaming me? "
" Fault is with both sides. We assumed that you will be happy with Gudiya and you never told about your affair. But the person suffering from our faults is only Gudiya, and her only fault is that she trusted her heart with us all."
" Now what will happen ? "
" Now that she knows your truth, the final decision is her's."
" So what do you think will happen now ? "
" I don't know. Bauji is stubborn, but so is Bhaiya."
" Do you think Bhuvan bhaiya is having an affair ? "
" Maybe. He is so smart and charming. And I can't see any other reason for which he can be so
stubborn."
" If he don't marry Gudiya, her heart'll be broken. But if they do marry, she'll have to live without
his love. Because I don't think Bhuvan bhaiya is a person who can forget his love and move on."
" I know. I don't know who is at fault here, but its not her fault. Still she is the one who will suffer in
both cases."
Gudiya stopped crying finally and shared her pain with NT and Narayan. NT stayed with her,
worrying for the girl's broken heart and also for Bhuvan who is fighting for his love. She loved both the kids equally and didn't want any of them to get hurt. But it was inevitable that one of them was going to get hurt, or maybe both.
Narayan went to meet his friend. He found BS and YD upset in their room.
" My poor girl. She believed us when we said she'll be Bhuvan's wife and started dreaming about it. We gave her hope and now we destroyed her happiness."
" I can't believe my son could be so irresponsible. "
" How will we face her now ? Will she forgive us for the pain we caused her ? "
" I'm feeling ashamed to be his father. I'll do whatever I can to make her pain go away."
" Maybe you should talk to her first. " interrupted Narayan.
" Narayan ! How is she now? Is she alright ? "
" Is she angry at us? Will she come back here? "
" Please calm down, both of you. Worrying cannot get us anywhere. First talk to her, see what she wants now, and then take any decision. And please, don't cry in front of her, she 'll get more upset."
" Come, lets go to her now."
" Not now, in the evening. She's very tired after crying so much. NT is with her, so we don't have to
worry about her health."
" Ok then. As you say. I don't know how I'll face Anupam. It was, after all, my idea that started all this tensions."
" I'm sure he'll understand. But he won't be able to bear his daughter's condition."
Keshav was with Bhuvan in his room, while NT was with Gudiya in the Sharma house. Narayan was with BS and YD in their room, while Pratap was with Jawahar in his room. But the same question ran in everyone's mind - " What will happen now? "
There was one thing they didn't know. Their small mistake was going to set in motion large events, changing all their lives forever. Nothing was going to be the same again.
