Chapter 77- Falling Apart/Getting Together

"Maine kabhi socha nahi ki Abhimanyu aisa karega Mukti ke saath" Raman was angry with Abhimanyu when Mukti told what happened. "Raman, you are instigating Mukti in a way, please stop it" Ishitha stopped him. "Mukti, you both liked each other and now what happened?" Ishitha asked her finally.

"Kitni baar keh chuki hai wo, he is a liar" Raman said. "Let her speak Raman" Ishitha asked Mukti. "There's nothing to speak mom, he lied to me about everything, dad had told him about everything in his life, about you and me. Dad trusted him and Abhimanyu he didn't even tell me that he was already married, ye dhoka nahi hai tho kya?" she said irritated. "Aaj raat Abhimanyu ko aane do, tum dono ka divorce ke baare mein discuss karenge" Raman said and left. Mukti is shocked to hear Raman and Ishitha went near Raman. "Raman, what rubbish! Kya bole jaa rahe ho tum?" she asked. "Shayad tumhe samaj mein aaya nahi hoga but Mukti usko aise hi akal theek hoga" he said. "Tho tum jaan bhooch ke aise kaha usse" she said. Raman nodded.

"Good morning Navya" Nandini wished her in the morning. Navya didn't reply. "Navya, kaha kho gayi ho?" Nandini asked. "Kuch nahi" Navya replied absent minded. "Mujhe bahut tension ho rahi hai Nandini" she said. "For what?" Nandini held her hand and Navya was shivering. "Navya, kya hua tum itna kyu ghabra gayi ho?" she asked her. "Apni dil ki baat kehna bahut important hai na Nandini" Navya said. Nandini fell into her thoughts and came back to senses when Navya called her.

"Humesha meri mann ki baat maine mann mein hi daba diya, jab Harshad ne mera picha kiya, I didn't say it to anyone kyunki main dar gayi thi Nandini. Jab unhone mujhe shaadi ke liye force kiya tha, tab bhi maine chupchap maan liya thinking that he will feel bad if I don't follow him. Usne mera pyaar ko ek joke banaya, maine mumma papa ko galat prove kiya" Navya said and Nandini is astonished to listen to her.

"Navya!" she exclaimed. "Yes Nandini, I have always ignored all your questions about my parents, jab tum logon ne pehli baar mere ghar aaye the wo mera sasural tha wo dono Harshad ke parents the. Harshad ne apne advantages ke liye mujhse shaadi kiya. He then died in an accident and they owned me as their daughter and are responsible for what I'm today. I'm always greatful to them. Phir mumma ki sudden death and Papa ki nafrat ne mujhe sikhaya ki sach kitna bhi kadwa ho par humesha sach hi bolna chahiye" she said.

''Ab Cabir! I don't know why he came home. Cabir has disguised himself as Shekawat and he joined as student to my dad. Ab medical entrance exam aa raha hai and main kaise samjau papa ko wo Shekawat nahi Cabir hai" Navya explained the reason for her worry. "Itna tension mat lo Navya, just ask Cabir not to show up in front of your dad" Nandini came up with an instant reply. "But aisa kiya tho main papa ko Cabir se kaise introduce karwaungi" Navya said. "Why do you want to introduce Cabir to your dad?" Nandini asked not understanding.

Cabir and Aryaman were standing at the door when they heard Navya and Nandini talking. "Nandini, main Cabir ko khona nahi chahti, agar kisine ye sab mein mera saath diya wo Cabir hi tha" she said. "So, Cabir knew all this?" Nandini asked her. "Yes" Navya nodded. "Tell me something honestly Navya! Do you love Cabir?" Nandini asked. Aryaman and Cabir looked at each other as Nandini asked Navya.

''I don't know if it is love Nandini! But all I can say is jab main uska saath hu then I feel secured. Aisa Lagta hai ki agar Cabir mera saath hai tho main kuch bhi kar sakti hu. Agar wo nahi hai tho kuch nahi hai" Navya's answer was unclearly clear for Nandini. She thought for a minute and stood to leave from there. "Ek baat yaad rakho Navya, if you like go and tell him, agar aise hi nahi batayenge tho bahut der hoga" she said. Aryaman took Cabir aside and Nandini left from there.

"Navya jo bol rahi thi kya wo sach hai?" Aryaman asked. "Ha" Cabir nodded. "Tu ne kabhi bataya kyu nahi? Tum dono kya soch rahe the! Aren't we gonna help you out! Arre what are friends for?" Aryaman asked angrily. "Navya nahi chahthi thi ki tum log ye sab jaane" Cabir said and Nandini came there. "Humne sab sun liya hai Nandini" Aryaman said to Nandini to clear the air. "Navya ne kisiko kuch nahi bataya and I respect her privacy" Cabir repeated. "But she can share with us always" Nandini said. "I'm surprised that there are still many secrets amongst us, I thought we were best friends" Aryaman said disappointed. "Hum yaha ho kar bhi tumhare life ke hisse nahi ban paaye, Nandini didn't you feel bad when Navya hid these things from us?" Aryaman asked Nandini.
