Appa Saheb, the man of power who had for several years ruled over Kolhapur, played the games of fate, seized whatever he desired, wronged every single person who had loved and respected him was now yearning to undid all his deeds... Power, possession and his obsession of reaching the heights had made him a heartless, self-centred and ruthless man... The man who had throughout his life never failed to lose a single battle was now struggling with this one last of his life... The chilled darkness and the dull white walls of the special ward where he was lying now on the hospital bed was adding more vulnerability to his thought process... Right now while lying there with one side of his body totally paralyzed, realization was daunting him... All his pride, ego and fame; for the sake of which he had ruined every beautiful relationship in his life dwindled into nothing... And now in the verge of his end the only thing he desperately wants is Forgiveness...
Forgiveness from his mother...
Forgiveness from his dead wife...
Forgiveness from his sister...
Forgiveness from his children...
Forgiveness from his two daughter-in-laws...
And not the least-
Forgiveness from two innocent souls whose pure love he had butchered only to save his hollow pride and wrong deeds...
FLASHBACK
-What do you mean??
-In case you've forgotten let me remind you of the promise you've made, to return the little favour I did to you once by saving your life...
-So, what do you want now??
-Gauri...
-I think you should know that Gauri is engaged to Siddharth...
-None of my business Appa Saheb... Deal is a deal... You promise me Gauri and in return your dirty little secret will remain secret forever...
It had taken a fraction of seconds for Appa Saheb to finalise his decision... Gauri was never his concern, she was just the leverage for Prateeksha; the sole witness of all his heinous crimes to remain in exile in a single room for twenty years... Forget about Siddharth...
-Fine, you remain present on the wedding venue and the rest; leave it up to me... I'll make all the arrangements for Siddharth to call off the wedding... But make sure you don't ever dare to forget your promise...
-Garv Shinde never breaks his promise...
-Flashback Ends-
His vision pierced through the darkness to the other part of the room... Prateeksha was resting on one of the little cosy chairs of the special ward... She had decided to stay back that night along with Satyajeet... A lone drop of tear rolled down from his eye without his knowledge at the sight of his daughter-in-law... How could be she after all these years of torture so concerned for this man, he thought... Has she already forgiven him?? So easily?? Without him even asking for it?? Was that even possible?? Who knows, maybe she really did... Prateeksha was always a kind soul... But the others?? Will they ever forgive him???
Will Gauri ever be able to forgive her Appa Saheb?? She had always trusted her Appa Saheb and in return he had ruined her life...
And Siddharth... Life had taught Appa Saheb to never under-estimate his enemy and oppositions... He never did when Garv was in concern... But both Appa Saheb and Garv had done the similar mistake of underestimating this one ever smiling, bright and lively boy while using him for their own benefits... They had expected him to return to South Hampton with a broken heart after Gauri's marriage with Garv... But all in vain... Not only he stayed back, but from that day onwards he had made every person who had cheated on him dance to his tunes without even a single hint...
