Okk..so I am back with a new update again.
yess..though I didnt make pms and top of it...track has moved much forward in the show...still you people liked it. So I'll definitely complete this one..a proper closure. Maybe 2-3 more parts for this too. But it will take time. As you know..there are many to update and then my mind comes up with random os too in between. I cant promise to make it very fast. And I am not sure if Adi track wraps up first in the show or here but will definitely try to make my best of it. Hope you will like it.
I hav made a new twist in this part. Adi's pov according to me can be this way maybe. If we talk about 12-13 year old kid, even a single scolding from parents make them feel like they are enemies. As we grow up, we realize their importance and their scoldings affect us less. Hope I hav done justice with his thoughts.
Part 6
Adi?? This time it came from a mother's mouth. A shocked mother who never realized what she had lost in life. The four parents sat with their heads lowered at the words the kid has chosen. Was he so upset, so disturbed...that the only place he thought he could get solace was his boarding school. Only life he thought he could live in was hostel life.
Your honour...its a game. They are manipulating my son. He wants to live with me only. Shagun tried to interfere but was cut short by the harsh voice of judge who decided to take the matter in a more mature way. She could understand the child psychology. He is a child of divorcee parents. He has enjoyed all luxuries of life but love. And his current surroundings doesn't promise love. For a twelve year old, its necessary to grow up in an atmosphere where he feels safe and secured. He is still not sure even about living with you people..Mr. khanna and Ms. Shagun. Shagun sat down dejected wondering what made Adi say so when she had asked him to rant only one thing that all he wants is his mom. On that basis, continued the judge, I would like to give the visitation rights to Aditya's father Raman Kumar Bhalla too. The order which had been imposed on you to stay away from Aditya is taken back Mr. Bhalla. You can visit and check your son any time now. A smile crept up on Ishita and Raman's face as they held each other's hands tightly.
For next three months, Adi will spend his weekends with his father. After that, I would take his report...about his experience and feelings. She completed. But Mam...I dont want to...I mean I need hostel...Adi tried to speak. The judge smiled. Beta...its mid year. No school takes admissions in the mid session. Dont worry...you will be sent to boarding in next class. Till then..enjoy your time with your mom and dad. She explained and he nodded. Next hearing will be after three months. She announced and left the court room.
***************************
Adi...how can you do this? Shagun shouted as soon as they were out of court premisis. Shagun? Raman tried to stop her but Ishita held him gesturing not to interfere. Adi...I am asking you? She held his collor. Why the hell you had to talk about hostel there? I told you naa...just say I want to live with my mom. I am fed up...shouted back Adi. Yess...I want to go to hostel. Coz I cant stay here. He started crying. Adi? She tried to keep hand on his shoulder but he jerked it away.
Do you people think I am a toy...whom you fight for everyday? He pointed to Raman and Shagun who were shocked beyond words. They had never seen Adi in such state before. No one loves me here. I know very well. All you want is to put each other down. Raman and Shagun looked at each other shocked. Its your fault that your marriage didnt work. You could not adjust with each other. Now that you are happy with new parteners in your life, all you want is to snatch me from each other...so that you can show the other that you are happy now...better than what you were earlier. He sat on the bench crying as he held his head. His mother and father tried to approach him but he stopped them with his hands. Hope you could ever realize that watever you did...but the failure of your relationship has affected your kids the most. If it was not for this lady standing here, he looked at Ishita...even Ruhi would have been in same position...crying with me at her fate...asking from everyone...why on this Earth God has chosen us to see this day? All those parents could do was weep silently at the pain they had caused to their own born. The one whose birth has been most memorable and beautiful phase of their life was now sitting and crying over that very day. Why the hell I was born? They heard him speak.
Adi? Ashok moved forward and held him. He didnt resist...he didnt approve. He sat motionless. He didnt have the right to get angry on this man...he knew. He was sensible enough to know the difference between his blood and outsider. Even during accident problem, his mother found it better to share the problem with Raman and not her own feoncey. Cos she knew...he is the only help. So how could he expect anything from this man. But in a corner of his heart, he had a longing too...only if just like Ruhi got her Ishima...an outsider who could fight the world just to keep her happy...was he so bad..he cant get that little love too. Is Ruhi too good to her Ishima or am I too bad to Ashok Dad..he never loved me the same way. He thought to himself ..Adi..lets go beta. Get up. Ashok made him stand and took him towards the car. Raman and Shagun were too numb to react. Adi..Ishita called from behind. He stopped midway to turn and face her. I will come to take you on Friday. Infact...will pick you up from school only. And driver will bring your things from school. She said smiling fondly at him. I will look forward to it Aunty. He never knew what made him say those words. But her face had all the more new shine on it.
**********************
Raman...you didnt have dinner properly. Now please drink milk atleast. Ishita kept the tray beside him on bed when he was busy...or pretending to be busy with his macbook. Hmm...he spoke as he quickly wiped his face sensing her presence around. Raman...you can cry in front of me. I wont laugh I promise. She sat beside him on the bed. Arre No...its nothing like that Ishita. I was just checking some presentation. He diverted the talk still not facing her. You know naa...I can read your eyes. Her words make him stare at her. Their eyes met. His...the longing one...all they needed was an assurance. Hers...the soothing one...she could give her everything to get that pain out of his system. He kept staring at her as a tear drop trickled down his cheek. Raman..she murmured and that was enough for the bubble to burst. He clinged himself to her holding her tightly as he vent her heart out. She soothed him...stroking his back and giving a kiss on his forehead. After long time, as he felt lighter, he edged back to face her. Thanks for coming to Ruhi's life Ishita. Had you not been, my daughter would also have been cursing everyone for her griefs and sorrows. She looked at him surprised nodding her head as to not say all this. No Ishita...it is a fact. I and Shagun could not adjust but in the fight of showing each other that I have moved on...I dont need you..we simply forgot what our kids need. It was you who came and made me realize I have to move on and think about Ruhi. All I want now is Adi also comes under your protection. Raman?? Yess Ishita...I know Adi is angry on me. But he also knows you are not at fault. And I am sure, he will be more secured under your gaurdianship than mine..just like..just like Ruhi was. And if he is there with you...he will come to me too. He said everything in a go. We will get our son soon Raman..and he will love everyone...will be happy..just like Ruhi. She assured him. I trust you. He said holding her hand as he kissed it. She blushed at it.
Ishima papa...Ruhi came to them. Are you crying papa? She asked seeing his face. No beta...come here. He picked her up and made her sit in his lap. Dont worry papa...Adi bhayiya will be there with us soon. She smiled. They laughed at it. Yess...we know. Soon Ruhi will be playing with her Adi bhayiya. Ishita tickled her. Its time to sleep now. Come. The happy family cocooned into each other slept in each other's embrace to welcome new morning with a smile on their face.
**************
-Whats your bloddy problem?
-Look...I dont want to listen excuses.
-Its upto you how you do it.
-Mind it...that Raman Bhalla should not get custody at any cost.
The loud voices from his present legal parents made Adi move towards their room. He stopped near the door to give an ear to their conversation. Yess...that was the best way to come to a conclusion. Ofcourse he knew, stalking was wrong. But he couldn't trust a single person now.
He had spent his whole evening thinking who and what was right? Since the court decision in afternoon, he had made his mind to somehow pass these few months and then back to hostel. Staying in hostel was not difficult..he knew...there were two big industrialists behind him. They would not mind showering loads of money on him...just to show each other low. But he had some questions in the mind before he actually left this place. Whom could he rely upon if ever he needed anyone? Will there be any place for him anywhere if and when he returned. Should it be his mom or dad? And then his wise mind thought of one thing. He remembered a senior once telling him 'No one is yours in this selfish world. All you need to do is think about yourself..your life and your wishes.' Yess..thats wat he would become now. He will act happy in front of everyone but wont come into anyone's influence. He will live on his own soon. Without anyone's help. And till then he would listen other's opinion about him. What they actually say and think about him. He had decided to be more cautious now.
Ashok...What did he say? You approached judge. He saw his mother keeping her hand on that man's hips as he sat on bed beside her. She is a hard nut to crack Shagun. She is not taking bribe. He said throwing away his phone angrily. Dont worry baby..this time her hand was on his cheeks. We will find a way soon. You love Adi so much naa. She pouted. He jerked her hand away. Stop behaving like this Shagun. You know why I want to win this case. That Raman needs to know his place. He had already won a case...Ruhi time. But this time I wont allow. He stood up while Shagun came behind him. But this is Adi Ashok. He had been with us. And he loves me the most. This time raman cant win. She smirked. Dont be so overconfident Shagun. Even Adi chose his hostel life over you. She lowered her head. I will explain him Ashok. Trust me. He wont repeat it again. Will he ask you first? Ashok shouted. Didnt you see him in court today? I tell you Shagun I am not going to listen to his arrogant talks again. Raman Ishita were standing there. I didnt want to give them a chance to win. So kept quite. But not again. Adi was shocked to see him shouting at his mother. I said naa Ashok. I will talk to Adi tomorrow. You better do it Shagun. I can bear anything but insult. He is your son. I dont care if he lives in any boarding or sleep in my home. All i know is Raman Bhalla will not get his custody. A tear ran down from Adi's eyes as he realized he was just an object to them whom they wanted to keep as trophy of winning over Raman Kumar Bhalla. Dont worry Ashok...I have a plan. Shagun smirked. What? He was quick to ask. We made Adi say a lie six years back that his father beats him, infact judje found him so nervous and afraid that Raman was banned to even meet his own son. What do you want to say Shagun? Asked Ashok. What if Adi says in court again that his father hits him and scolds him. He cant live with him. Good Idea. Said Ashok at once. But why would Adi say this?
Coz I will make him say this. Smirked Shagun. Are you confident? 100% sure...Adi is too emotional. And he can do anything for me. All I need to do is fake a cry in front of him and poison his mind against Raman. He will himself reject Raman in court. She said setting her hair in front of mirror. Oh Shagun...thats why I love you darling. He grabbed her from her waist while she kept her hands on his shoulder. Adi stood there shocked at the relevation. His own mother wanted to use him against his dad? Acha listen Shagun..he said. Huh...was all she replied. Once we get permanent custody, In new session, we would send Adi back to boarding. Shagun looked at him confused. Come on yrrr...he is old enough. Had been there earlier too. And we will pay. So wats the need to keep him at home and run behind him day and night. Okk..as you say. She smiled. Moreover..it will be easy to send this time. He himself wants it. She added. Both laughed and then Adi saw them moving in their own world. Before their lips could touch, he shut the door and ran to his room...too disgusted to see that scene. His mother with...
That night was sleepless for him. He and his pillow shared the sorrow which he was going through. So this is the reality of people whom I am living with. What they might be thinking about me...at a place where I had not been to in past six years. But he surely wanted to know once. Thinking and crying, he never knew wen sleep overtook him.
Waiting fir reviews. Hope u liked itt.
