Everything happens for a reason : Aarya os
Part three
There was a dead silence in the room, the police try to figure out what the matter was, they try questioning me if I have any clue of that person, I could only look at them, my body was restless and I was in no frame of mind to say anything. They turned to papa who just looked at them and left the room, he was shocked I know, and he needs to control his anger, Ma on the other hand is just like a stone she has been in the same position since she saw the picture. Finally the police packed their material and were about to leave then I was able to murmur his name, P...Prash... Shant... And I made a loud cry, how could he?, how could he do this to me, I thought to myself and kept on crying. Ma stood up and was about to console me after she too could not digest the truth, when the only person I have being wanting to see made his appearance, he was back Dr. yash was back. He came into the room looking confused and demand answers from the police who told him all that had happened. He excused them and told them he would want to talk to his patient and they should kindly wait outside till he is done. They left and he was able to talk to me, Ma too excused herself. Dr. Yash questioned me what happened and he wants answers immediately, I told him from the very beginning, I showed him Prashant picture, he was my cousin and we were engaged but after his family got to know about the incidence they rejected me and...Unfortunately he was among the culprit involved in the wrong act.
I could sense Dr. Yash was about to explode, I have never seen him angry, his face was red and I couldn't imagine what he was thinking after hearing me out. He rose and touched my shoulders "I will be back in a minute" he told me. His hands were so cold, he must be very angry I thought. He came back as promised but with the police and he asked them to continue, Papa came inside too he seems to have cooled down. Dr. Yash asked them to proceed and he excused himself for us to finish. I so wished he was there because his presence alone gives me courage to talk.
The police continue from where we stopped, they told us that the culprits are in their custody at the moment and they received some news at present that one of them confessed that only the three of them raped me, they showed me the pictures again and fished-out the three, I was surprised Prashant was not among them, but why? I didn't want to know so I tried to forget the question. The police in charge told me he would like to know why we were shocked to see the four culprits; who was Prashant and I told them he was my cousin. The investigation was over and they informed us now that the ball is in our court, the court has given us the rights to place the judgment on them. I thought of forgiving them but gave that a second thought what will happen to those women outside and what will happen if I let them go unpunished, something similar that happened to me might occur again and if they are punished it will serve as a lesson to such people in our society to mend their ways. I convinced myself with the latter, Ma and Papa were okay with it, the police handed me some document which I signed and they appreciate my efforts and cooperation. As soon as they left, I wondered what made me go to the nursery..there I found him, he was helping one of the toddler hold a spoon by himself, I found them so cute and adorable when I looked at his happy face he seems to have forgotten what happened a few hours ago. I decide to leave and let him have his time with the kids. As I turned to leave I heard him call back "Miss Aarti can you please wait for a minute?" I did, I actually came to see him. He was done and we went to the Garden. I know he had something in his mind but doesn't know how to start, and I on the other hand came to ask him about my discharge and also thank him again. As if pinched at the same time we broke our silence with... Actually I wanted to... we burst into a huge laughter. He stared at me after we were quiet and told me he would love to see me laughing like this forever. And I could only smile back, I asked him what he wanted to tell me before, he kept quiet for a while and he said he actually wanted to know if I had love Prashant, and my answer was No, I never did, I only accept the proposal to make my Parents happy, he reversed the same question I asked him "what i wanted to tell him" and he wanted to know why I was looking for him, I told him about my discharge then he replied he will file the result in two days then he will see about the discharge. Things went back to normal; as usual we met in the garden or nursery at his free time. I got a newspaper from him one day and he told me to check there is something important, I scanned through the pages and saw the page he had marked, Prashant and his partners were found guilty, the three were charge against smuggling drugs and rape for 25 years imprisonment with hard labor, while Prashant was accused of involving in smuggling drugs and also consuming it; for 15 years imprisonment. Medical report showed that due to the drugs he consumed, it has started affecting his brain and they advice he should be taken for rehabilitation before serving his prison terms. The next page was an interview with the criminals; I found out that Prashant couldn't recall what had happened in that night because the drugs he takes took a toll on him and he also would like to apologize to the victim of the incidence. I closed the page and thought to myself if I have done the right thing by sending them to prison, but thinking again Prashant was after all Prashant he too could have being involved if not for the large amount of drugs he took but I was glad he was ready to change for better.
Two days as Dr. Yash promised I received my result, I was physically fit to be discharged and I got my discharge letter. I decide to meet him even if it is for one last time, I checked in his office and his secretary informed me perhaps he could be in the nursery because she hasn't seen him in office too. I went there and met him on his way back, he knew I wanted to talk and we went on strolling, we were quiet, I didn't know how to thank him again, then I received the most shocking, excited and surprising request..."Will you marry me?" I thought it was just my heart singing and deceiving me and I almost cursed myself for thinking that way but the request came again and a bit louder this time "will you marry me Aarti please?" I didn't know what to do next, I started crying, he knows what had happened to me but why such a request, I told him I have no more dignity but he assured me he doesn't care in the world what had happened to me all he knows is he wants to marry me, he seek for my attention and wants to explain something he has being trying to tell me for the past four weeks I was in the hospital. He stated that he met a me a long while ago before the incidence at the IT centre when he went to get admission for prateek, he couldn't talk to me and he has being visiting the centre just to see me and he always follows me home. I was surprised and he continued, he said he was curious that day when he saw me taking another route home and the route was no car convenient so he left his car few kilometers and followed me and on his arrival he met that dread act. He said he partially feels guilty for not telling me that since but he couldn't gain that courage and talk to me. He reassured me again that he had loved me since that day and till today he still loves me even more and doesn't want to lose me again. I still hesitated but he said he isn't going to take anything from my parent it only my love he wants and if I can remember I had told him"I don't know how to repay him" and if I really want to repay him I should marry him; that's what I also want I thought to myself and I remembered Ma's constant saying "Everything happens for a reason" and my Yes finally came. I repeated again, Everything happens for a reason in my self thought. That evening was the most blissful evening I had ever had, his hug was so warm and the rain started falling, I could have hated the rain but the moment was so blessed.
