CHAHI 'S POV:
I heard everything ahaan said... God! His life was based on lies... I saw this boy grow in front of me.. I loved him like my own son... I never differentiated between ahaan and kartik.. I have always treated sonu and ahaan as my own children... What I didn't know was their inner turmoil..  Now, when I look at him, I realise how broken he his.. All because of mummy ji's lies... But, now I learnt it was not only her mistake... I made also made a very big mistake... I unwantedly, covered the truth.. I should have never listened to anyone... It was ahaan and sonu's right to know the truth.. I don't know where ishqi is... But I know she is in trouble... Ishqi would never leave... She is a gem of a person..... I know she is... But, right now I think it's time....
TIME TO TELL THE TRUTH...
And this time I will tell him the truth.. No matter what.... Even if that means the end of me.. .
Ch- Ahaan?
A- hmm
Ch- mujhe tujhe kuch batana hai..
I sobbed... This time they were guilty tears.....
A- chachi... Kya hua... Aap ro kyu rahi hai....
Ch- ahaan... Meri baat dyaan se sun. ..
Yeh baat mujhe tujhe bohot phele hi bata  deni chahiye thi.... Par..... Ahaan( I said cupping his face)
Meri baat dyaan se sunna... Shayad iske baad tu mujhse nafrat karne lage... Par...
A- kya hua hai chachi  ......
Ch- ahaan... Teri maa.. Savitri bhabhi... Bohot acchi insaan thi... Vo sab ka dyaan rakti thi. .... Bhaisaab ko nashe ki bohot buri lat lag gayi thi.. Jab... Jab bhi vo nashe main hote the toh... Savitri bhabhi ko bohot marte the.. . Ghar main sab ko pata tha... Sab ko.. Maine bohot baar mummiji... Mummiji ko kaha ki bhaisaab ko samjhate hai... Unse baat karte hai... Par unhone meri baat nahi suni... Vo.. Vo kehti thi ki pati... Patni ke beech ki baat hai... Hame beech main nahi bolna chahiye.... Kisi ko savitri bhabhi ki fikr nahi thi... Roz raat ko hame unki rone ki awaaz sunai deti thi... Roz... Abhi tak vo aawaz mere kaanon main gunjati hai.... Mummyji ne saari baaton ko andheka kar diya... Main kuch nahi kar pai... Unhe nahi baccha pai... Abhi bhi mujhe darr lagta hai... Bhabhi ki chheko ki awaaz se...
Maine tujhe kitni baar sach batane ki koshish ki  par mummy ji ne hamesha mujhe rok diya... Hamesha... Bhabhi sab kuch saha... Tum dono ke liye... Sirf tum dono ke liye... Har rooz bhaisaab se maar khati rahi... Tum dono ke liye...  Vo chup rah jatti... Hamesha se hi vo chup thi... Par pata hai ek din kya hua?
Ek din bhaisaab ne nashe ke haalat main tujh par haath uthaya... Aur vo unke patience ki limit thi... Vo bardast nahi kar pai.. Uss din unhone tay kiyaa... Ki vo bhaisaab se divorce le lengi... Tum dono ko lekar.... Kahi door chali jaungi... Jaha tum dono safe raho.... Sab khatroon se door. .. Sirf vo aur tum log.... Par... Phir... Kya hua pata nahi chala... Savitri bhahi gayab hi ho gayi.... Uske baad se mujhe kuch nahi pata... Vo kaha gayi... Kyu gayi...

POV ENDS..

THIRD PERSON POV:
There was a long uncomforting eerie silence for few minutes... Ahaan stared at   chahi in horror and disbelief... Tears made their path on both of their faces... It was sure enough that the ground below ahaan shook at this earth shattering revelation.. Chachi broke the silence... It was awkward and vulnerable moment for both of them. ..
Ch- ahaan?
Kuch bol.....
Ahaan got off his trance.. He wiped the tears that dribbled down his face, resulting in fresh tears making their way back on his beautiful sculpted face.  .....
Ahaan opened his mouth and closed it... He tried to speak but found no words in his mouth for the first time..   ...  He engulfed his former chachi whom he loved immensely in to tight hug...
SOMETIMES MAN ALSO NEEDS A HUG...
DON'T THEY?
Chachi reciprocated the hug.. Just then they heard a thud.... They seperated.. They looked towards the door to find a bewildered SONU... Tears streamed down her face... She looked shocked.. Her eyes held emotions that were clearly not a good sign...
Sonu made her way towards ahaan and Chachi her pace relatively slow.. Chachi was clearly very guilty... Guilty tears streamed down her face... Sonu however felt betrayed and angry... She had always abided by her family... She always loved her mom but she had to sacrifice her because of their lies....
Sonu stood in front of them.... Her breathing fastened...
S- CHACHI... KYU... AAPNE INTA BADA SACH HAMSE KYU CHUPPAYA... AAPKO PATA HAI NA AAPKE ISS JHOOT KE VAJAH SE HAM MAA SE NAFRAT KARTE RAHE... ( She shouted at her chachi for the first time)
Chachi tried to speak.   But, her mouth felt dry... How could give any explanation to it... She had done a mistake... More tears made their way down her face and her lips shook uncontrollably....
A- sonu... Tu chachi se aise kyu baat kar rahi hai... Unhone bataya ki unki majboori thi... ( he growled in a low voice)
How could her sister not be understanding in such a situation...
Chachi looked at ahaan.. He supported her even after all the truth she hid from them... I slight smile appeared her lips....
Sonu turned towards ahaan.. Raging with anger she shouted at her bhai....
S- KOI MERI BAAT NAHI SUNTA... BHAI MAINE KITNI BAAR AAPKO KAHA THA... MAA KO EK MUAKA MILNA CHAIYE THA.  HAME MAA KI BAAT SUNNI CHAHIYE THI... PAR AAPNE UNHE EK BHI MAUKA NAHI... DIYA.... ABB HAM MAA KO KAISE DUNDENGE.... BATAIYE...

Ahaan was stunned by the  furious sonu standing in front of him... After all it was his mistake that he didn't listen to his mother even once.....

A-Sonu mujhe pata hai tujhe gussa aa raha hai, mujhpar bhi aur chachi par bhi, par par main kya karta.. Haalat hi kuch aise the...
S- bhai aap hamesha aise hi karte hai... Pura ilzam halalatho par dal dete hai.. Par aapko pata hai, yeh haalat kaun paida karta hai... Huh?..
Hum khud inn halat ko paida karte hai... Har ek cheez ki zimmedaari maa ki nahi thi hame unpar trust karna chahiye tha.... (She was calmer now)
Ch- sonu... SHE SAID CUPPING HER FACE..
sonu mujhe pata hai meri galati hai aur main sorry ki bhi hakdaar nahi hoon.... Mujhe pata hai... Par please mujhe maaf karne ki koshish karna... Please... SHE SAID COLLAPSING ON THE BED.... TEARS CONTINUED TO FLOW DOWN HER EYES..
S- chachi it's ok... Main toh aapse gussa bhi nahi thi.. Gussa toh mujhe khud par aaraha hai... Maine kabhi maa par vishwas hi nahi kiya....
Bhai I am sorry.. Maine aapar zyada hi chilla diyaa.   ..... I am really sorry...

THOUGH ALL THREE FOR THEM WERE CRYING THEIR HEART OUT THEY ENGULFED EACH OTHER INTO A HUG...
IT PROVED THAT THEY WILL ALWAYS STAY TOGETHER.. NO STORMES IN THEIR LIFE COULD BREAK THEM APART...

Ishqi's Pov:

I just woke up, the sound of metal clanging woke me up.. I knew it was the time for a idiotic checkup, so that these people could see wheatear my body was in a condition to take more stronger medicines and injections, without killing me  ..... A part of me wanted to die, to attain peace... But, a part of me wanted to see my AVM's face... His face could light up the whole world... I missed him, his touch, his care, his kisses and probably everything about him... I just hope I see his angelic face before dying...
A lone tear escaped my eyes but i covered it quickly... I looked at the door to see two doctors talking to other staff...
Then, the door closed and one male who had a similar pair of eyes a very familiar pair came inside with a mask covering his face with a lady who also seemed very similar... I was sure I knew them... Just when all the staff from outside the door left the two of them removed their masks, revealing their face to me.... And when I looked at them I was left speechless, my mouth hung wide in surprise... Tears filled my eyes... Making everything blurry.....
