Imtehaan Rishton Ka (Book-1 Rawte Sibling' Saga)

Chapter 3- Truth

She took the food tray and tore a morsel and brought it towards his mouth.

Ayush- mein kha luga ma'am aap taklif maat...... Roshni put the morsel in his mouth before he speaks something more stupid.

Roshni- khana khao Ayush. Tum itne baade bhi nhi hue ki yeh sabh baate kro.

Ayush just ate without a word. It was only his grandmother who use to feed him and that too when he was sick.
After food Roshni gave him his medicines and water he made a cute face seeing medicine making Roshni chuckle but he had it anyway.

Roshni- ab rest kro you need to sleep. Aapne dimag ko tohda rest do.

She made him lay on the bed and was about to leave but he held her hand. Roshni saw his hesitation, he wants something and he is nervous or shy to ask.

Roshni gently- kuch chaiye Ayush....He nodded.

Roshni- toh bolna itna ladkiyo ki jasia nervous ya shy kyu feel krr Raha hai?

Ayush- can i put my head on your lap and sleep?

He whispered. Roshni smiled and sat beside him and actioned him to do so. He was first shocked but obliged immediately. He thought she would deny him.

Roshni gently ruffled his hair- tumhe pta hai Ayush jb hum aapne Dil ki baat actions se nhi words se baata te hai toh relationship' itne complicated nhi hote.

Ayush looked up- matlab?

Roshni- tumne Hume sabh ko accept krr liya hai. Aapne Bhai bhen ko toh phele he din jb unn logo ne tumhe media se protect Kiya tha tb. Agar acceptance hai toh usse baata te kyu nhi.

Ayush- prr agar vo log nhi accept krr paye mujhe toh. I am an illegitimate child of there father. Maybe they think I am at fault nhi toh vo mujhse baat toh krte.

Roshni signed- tum legitimate child ho ya illegitimate usse koi fark nhi padta hume. Hume sirf iss cheez se fark padta hai kya tumne Hume accept Kiya ya nhi?

Ayush got up and sat facing her- mere accept krne ya na krne se kya hota hai. Agar vo sabh.....

Roshni cut him off gently- tumhara acceptance bhi utna he matter krta hai jitna hum sabh ka Ayush. You are also a human koi robot nhi ho tum Jo jb jaha jasia bola aapna command tum prr impose krr diya.And secondly kisne kha ki tumhare Bhai bhen ko tum pasand nhi ya vo tumhe blame krr rahe hai kisi bhi cheez ke liye....Ayush looked at her shocked.

She told him about what happened when he was fainted how Arjun got worried, how Yuvika saved him from Arjun' warth and how Om was restless as he was not opening his eyes....Ayush had tears in his eyes he hugged her nd cried all the things he was thinking all this time were nothing but his stupid imagination. He hated himself for thinking something like this for his siblings. Roshni clamed him and made him sit facing her.

She cupped his face and spoke-

Kabhi kabhi words se hum pyaar jatate hai ya kabhi kabh actions se. Tumhare bhai, bhen ne actions se jatya hai ek step un logo ne liya hai. Ab agar tum ready ho toh ek step tum aage leke aapne words se baata do. Tum unke liye kya feel krte ho. They will be more than happy i assure you that. Tum prr itna pyaar luta dege ki tumhe kabhi kisi bhi cheez ki kami nhi hogi. Okay?

Ayush nodded and hugged her- Thank you bhabhi.

Roshni was shocked she immediately pulled him back and asked -

Kya kha tumne?

Ayush hesitant- bh-bhabhi?

Roshni hugged him tightly she was so happy. She didn't expected that Ayush will ever call her that.
