Suddenly there was dead silence in the mansion. The facts which were surfacing out were too shocking
Still not giving up she spoke"Yeh kya keh rahe hein aap, yeh sab jhooth hein. Aap mujhe phasane ke liye yeh sab kar rahe hein, taaki mere bacche ko uska haque na mile".
"Shergill", Papa called on, to which Uncle forwarded to him some documents.
"These are all the legal documents with your photographs, proving your marriage and thereby your divorce to Mr Sheikh. If thats not enough we can call Mr Sheikh in person to testify. Par jaane dete hein umar jo ho gayi hein unki, kyun unhe bekaar takleef de hein na. So lets call your partner in crime and the biological father of your child Rocky". Papa called out and the security brought a very creepy looking man in the hall.
Shock and fear was now evident on her face and this time Rajiv stepped forward saying," Papa I guess she needs some tissues". "Pasina to poch lo abhi aage aur bhi hein tumhaare liye surprise".
"Tumhe achaanak itne saalon baad dekh ke mein shocked ho gaya tha and ofcourse the guilt of that night resurfaced. I didn't know what or how to react. Aur tum samjhi mein tumhaari baaton mein phas gaya. No never I needed to get to root of the matter. And for that I needed time". Rajiv finished.
"Rajiv to tumhe bahot pehle hi dhakke maar ke KM se bahar nikaal deta, par kya hein na ke Hum Khurana's apne doston ko kareeb rakhte hein aur dushmanon ko aur bhi kareeb! Issi liye tumhe yahan KM mein rakha tum pe nazar rakhne ke liye". Papa declared to her how wrong she had been in her move.
"We were monitoring your each and every move. Why so shocked Ex Mrs Sheikh? This is KM and each corner of this mansion has security cameras". Rajiv enlightened her.
"Tumne yahan kya kya kiya uski saari footage hein hamaare paas, kis tarah tumne Aparna aur mere bacchon ko darraya, dhamkaya, unhe pareshan kiya. Tumhe kya laga mujhe pata nahin tha".
"Tumhe wakey aisa laga ke mein aise waqt mein business ke liye bahaar chala gaya. No mein to tumhare khilaaf proofs collect karne gaya tha. Aaj bhi jaan bujh kar tum mere kamre mein aayi aur mujhse takrayi taaki Aparna yeh samjhe ke humaare beech mein kuch hein.Mujhe tumhaare har plan ka pata tha".
"Sirf yahan hi nahi par Khurana's ke saari properties as well as official suites mein bhi cameras installed hote hein". Rajiv smirked seeing her gulping down her saliva in fear.
"Exactly jab tum apne so called boyfriend ke saath, suite ke living room mein apna masterplan discuss kar rahi thi woh sab recorded hein hamaare paas". Rajiv declared and narrated the actual facts.
How you had spiked my drink, brought me to my room in my unconscious state to implement your plan. But my good fortune and your bad luck that Rocky arrived in time with a new offer from that Sheikh which looked more fruitful at that time. Sheikh was single, old and stinking rich so a easy catch.
To keep me as an additional option in future to extract money. Your boyfriend removed my clothes so I am misguided about that night and you wrote the letter that everything that happened between us was a mistake you don't wish to ruin my marriage so you are leaving for good. How wise and humble of you na.
But somewhere I did feel guilty to have fallen weak but still some part of me refused to believe that I could ever betray Aparna!!!
Then when Sheikh discovered your extra-marital affair with your boyfriend he kicked u out of his life and you moved in with your boyfriend but again this child was not welcomed by him and he got married to a rich widow and again u were left all alone and then u thought to try your luck here. But this was a wrong place and a wrong move.
"You tried to ruin my family life hurt my children and Aparna".
"Kya kahan tha tumne uss se ke uska pyaar haar gaya aur woh ek failure hein, dekho gor se, na woh haari hein na hi hamaara pyaar itna kamzor hein ke tumhaare ek jhoot se toot jaye"!
"Usse takleef iss baat ki zyaada thi ke meine itne saal usse woh baat chupaayi. Aur ghar chod kar iss liye jaa rahi thi kyun ke woh nahi chahti thi ke mere bacchon par inn saari baaton ka asar ho. Samjhi tum". Rajiv confronted her and pushing her towards me.
I couldn't control myself and slapped her tight on her face as I spoke," Meine apni poori zindagi mein tumhaari jaisi aurat nahin dekhi, tumne toh apne bete ko bhi nahi choda koi itna gira hua kaise ho sakta hein. Chi"!!!
Papa interwined, "Hum tumhe police ke hawaale nahi kar rahe hein sirf uss masoom bacche ke liye, hum nahi chahte ke tumhaari wajah se uski zindagi barbaad ho. Nikal jaaon yahan se dobara yahan aane ke himmat bhi mat karna". He warned her.
She left with her kid. She showed no remorse for her doing but that kid, his eyes had a different pain, pain of loosing something yet again. My heart went for him. He was paying for his mothers greed.
Papa ordered me to go back to my room, though Rajiv had not betrayed my trust still he had hidden such a big fact from me. It would take time for me to forgive him. As I walked up the stairway I saw Maan standing there behind the pillar. His face was blank I couldn't fathom what was going on his mind. That was the biggest mistake I committed that I let it go then.
Maa had taken a mannat that if all would be solved she would go on a Tirth Yatra. She left unknown of the fact that when she returns nothing would be fine. But slowly slowly the questions were answered as Maan's behavior with Papa and Rajiv turned bad to worse he even refused to speak to me.He would avoid us, or back answer.
Once he had beaten a boy in his class on his some comment on us. We had tried to talk to him but all in vain. That day he had crossed all his limits accusing Papa and Rajiv, " Aap dono gande ho , aap ne meri Mom ko hurt kiya aur phir unhe force kiya yahan rehne ko, uss gandi aunty ko bhi aise hi jaane diya". I couldn't control Maan's such behaviour and slapped him.
"That slap cost me my son"!!!!
"I HATE YOU, I HATE YOU ALL"!!!!!
He declared it but we didn't realize that his these words were not in a fit of his rage but were inscribed on his soul!!!
Finally Papa decided to send him to boarding school so that he realizes his mistake. Papa had thought some days he will stay away from us and will forget everything. But he was so wrong.
We failed to estimate the damage done. That it wasn't his mistake but ours as we failed in understanding him, resolving his young confused mind. And by sending him to the hostel we made him believe we were punishing him.
When we went to leave him at the hostel room. He hadn't closed the door of the room on our face but shut himself from us forever!!!!
Maa was so right. When she returned and got to know about the happenings.
She had said,"Ranjit ek aisa hi galat faisla iss ghar ke bete ke liye jo aap ne kiya tha uska boj aaj tak hum utha rahe hein. Aur aaj phir aap ne ek galat faisla kiya hein jis ki bhar paayi aap shayad kabhi na kar paaye".
"Rajiv aur Aparna aaj aap chuk gaye. Ek acche maa -baap ki zimmedaari aap nahi nibha paaye. Iski sazaa aap ke saath saath hum sab ko bhi milegi khaas kar Maan ko".
"Aur HUM hamesha Maan ke saath hi khade rahenge"!!!!
DEHRADUN
Each moment was making me restless. I had no idea what was going on in the hall and Nakul wasn't letting me go out. After a while Annie started crying and Nakul went to her, seeking an opportunity I moved out and hid behind the pillar only to witness, that woman leaving with her son.
Dadaji just let her go. That woman had troubled us so much, she had insulted and made my Mom cry but Dadaji didn't punish her. And then he also ordered my Mom to go back to her room. He didn't even scold Dad for all his mistakes and forced my Mom to forgive him.
"Geet I was too small to understand the actual facts and half truth is always dangerous. I hadn't witnessed the happenings then so thought that Dadaji let that woman go scot free and forced my Mom to compromise".
"The hatred that had started building up in me for my Dad just increased because I thought he was wrong and he also pressurized my Mom".
"And for my Mom I felt she betrayed me. I stood by her but she fell weak in front of Dadaji and Dad and abandoned me for them. I fought for her and she slapped me".
"I felt cheated Geet"!!!
Then they sent me to hostel when I beat up one of my classmates as he was making fun of me as I hadn't made a card on Father's Day. I couldn't fake something and I didn't feel like making a card for him. I thought sending me to the hostel was my punishment.
And that day I had vowed to myself I will never let them have any say in my life.
Slowly I started drifting away from them. I avoided going home in vacations too. I would join various camps etc for vacations and Dadi along with Vicky and Annie would come to visit me often. Even Vicky and Annie joined me soon in the hostel.
And the distance between us increased by leaps and bounds!!!
After my tenth, on Dadimaa's insistence I had returned home joined college in Delhi and also started handling Khurana Constructions as it was difficult for Dad to handle it single handedly as Dadaji was paralyzed, but I let our relation be purely professional.
Dadimaa had tried hard to bridge the gap but then it was too late I just couldn't relate to them and I had stopped believed in relations and didn't want to fall weak.
"And it stayed like that always"!!!!
He just remained still for sometime I knew it would have been so painful for him to relive those moments again. I had to ease him out of this pain and I know he will feel much lighter now after bring out all his bottled up emotions. His voice broke my thought again.
"Kya soch rahi ho tum Geet"?
"Mein soch rahi hoon sher chahe baccha ho yaa buddha rehta hamesha sher hi hein". I answered thoughtfully.
"Kya"? He asked aghast not believing what I just uttered.
"Haan abhi aap ne hi to bataya kaise aap apni badi badi ankhen dikhake sab ko darrate the, bacchpan se hi sab ko apne ishaaron pe nachate the". I giggled
"Geet..." She is teasing me," Maan Singh Khurana ka mazaak udaa rahi hon tum"?
"Dekha abhi, mujhe bhi darra rahe hein badi badi aankhen dikha ke".
"Accha mein darra raha hoon tumhe, hmmm abhi bata ta hoon tumhe". I got up but she was too quick she jumped out of bed running around it while I chased her. In a instant she had changed the otherwise heavy atmosphere of the room in her light playful moment.
I finally grabbed her, while she fiddled to get out my grasp when I told her.
"Thanks Geet, meri zindagi mein aane ke liye, mujhe zindagi jeena seekhane ke liye. Meri berang aur udaas zindagi mein rang aur khushiyaan bharne ke liye".
She just hugged me and cupping my face in her hands she said," Maan aap hamesha aise hi muskuraatein rahiye. Aap muskuraatein hue bahot acche lagte hein".
Realizing it was too late I told her we should sleep for a while as tomorrow was Our Wedding Day!!!
We slept in each others arms. A peaceful sleep after ages it seemed...
Precap - Wedding😲
