Part 2 Kanak Leaves For Pushkar

As Kanak stared blankly out the window, her tears rolled without a pause. They knew no limit. Vansh looked furious on the face with a furrow on the forehead, pressed the pedal with such storm, speeding down the uneven streets and pot holes of Ladno. " I will never have to see this hell hole ever again ", he thought. Vansh glanced at Kanak crying and scolded her, " Don't you dare cry for that man who can only be compared with the worst of what men have to offer. You gave him a chance against our wishes but now you must let go!" Vansh caught himself yelling and lowered his tone in attempts to be a little more thoughtful and said, " listen Kanak, you have so much to offer to the world. You are young and energetic. You can do whatever you want! He was never your type and the way he has treated you ..., you deserve better! "

Before Vansh could continue, Kanak turned her head from the window and yelled at him , " And Saras? Did she deserve you? What kind of a man are you exactly? She is not just Umas sister, she is a woman who weaved dreams of marriage all her life only to be deceived by you and then disposed away at the earliest convenience!" . Kanak's eyes were red with both pain and anger.

" Whatever Uma is , you are no pride of mankind! And you lost your right to advise me for what I should do or not do the day you married Saras! I am a woman like her before I am your sister! ", hollered Kanak as she turned her head back to the window.

Back in the Toshniwal house, Uma had been standing in front of the shiv statue with little Shiv tugging at his kurta begging him to burn his jano. UMa listened but heard nothing, so deeply embedded was his pain. Shiv continued crying and saying, " Massi sa told me I had to help her to keep you two together so I lied. I never touched any tobacco in my life. Massi sa said you hate Bhabhi sa's tea and will kick her out if she continues! Bhabhi sa found out but never told you what I did!" . At this Uma turned to glance at Shiv and then broke down in tears, kneeling to the floor, thinking to himself how much he had wronged Kanak ! Shiv continued to cry and say something but Uma tuned him out. This continued for a few minutes until Uma got up in a rage and darted towards Massi sa's room. He broke open what had been her cupboard and threw everything in a pile. He threw everything from the night stands and tables with quick angry sweeps. He yelled , " Nobody in this house will ever name her name again! Ever again!" . Then he hollered for Gabba sa to come in the room at once. Everybody along with Gabba sa gathered to see what the commotion was. Uma ordered Gabba sa to take all the stuff and give it to the poor at once. Saras had also come out of her room by now and wiping her tears said, " Ab pashtai kya hotha hai jab chiria chug gai kheth! I can understand exactly how she feels today! You can't blame massi sa for not being a good husband to Kanak Bhabhi sa! You didn't ask Massi sa for marrying her then why did you decide to divorce her because of Massi sa?! BoliAy na!". Uma even more furious with himself beat his arms on the cupboard several times before closing it and ran to Massa s room. He only stopped to drop his torso onto her legs and weep like no man had wept before. Massa had not missed a word of the entire days events. Although she was grateful to God for her sisters truth coming out and leaving the house, her grief now knew no bounds. She teared helplessly for Kanak and her son's dilemma. She stretched her hand to rub his head. Uma weeped soaking the blanket that covered his mother until the sounds all died down. The rest of the family members left the two alone in the room hoping the pain would eventually die down.

The next morning when Suman came to Massa ' s room she saw that Uma was still lying in the same position as she left him the night before. He was still on massas legs with eyes closed, what appeared to be a deep slumber. Massa opened her eyes as Suman shrugged Umas shoulder , " Dadoo sa wake up! We have to wash Massa and feed her ourselves now that Bhabhi sa is gone". But no matter how hard Suman tried to wake Uma up calling his name to get up, he lay there senseless.

With each attempt to wake Uma up, Suman grew restless.
