Chapter - 9 : Head On (Part - A)

Start from the beginning
                                    


In short, he was just done. Abhir turned towards Abhimanyu and walked to him slowly but confidently. He grabbed his father's hand and placed it on his head. Abhimanyu was taken aback and he tried to pull back but Abhir's grip was really strong. 


"AAPKO MERI KASAM PAPA!


Mujhe sach jaan na hain. Please sugarcoat mat karo. Don't try to sell my mother's image to me as someone who deserves my respect.


I beg of you. Mujhe confuse karna band karo aap. Mujhe koi cheez unki buri lagti hain aur aap unki defence mein aajate ho. 


You don't want me to disrespect her. But do you really think her actions command respect or love?


Abhimanyu pulled his hand back and Abhir indirectly got his answer. 


He let out a sad chuckle and spoke, 


"You don't want me to hate her but unki actions toh dekho na......Unki history dekho.


Main unke saath raha hoon. Bacha tha main. I loved her with all my heart. All I ever wanted in life was to make her happy, make her proud. But that wasn't enough. I wasn't enough.


I felt like a loser for being me and she let me. In fact, she was the one who made me feel that way. Woh toh aapse mila main. Aur aapse milne ke baad hi pata chala ki I was not a loser. 


I am Abhir aur mujhe badalne ki koi zarurat nahi hai. Aapne mujhe waise hi pyaar kiya jaisa main tha. You didn't even know main kaun tha but you treated me so well. 


Mereliye apni mumma se door rehna bahut tough tha. Main imagine bhi nahi kar sakta tha but mujhe aap bhi chahiye the. Such was the strength of your unhinged love. 


Meri Mumma ne kabhi mujhse nahi poocha ki mujhe kya chahiye aur main kya feel kar raha hoon. But aap aaye. Aapne jaan ne ki koshish ki if I wanted to be with you.


Agar main na bolta toh aap peeche hat jate. Hat jaate na?" 


He questioned Abhimanyu and he nodded. Tears slipped down his cheeks as he got reminded of those dreadful days again.


"Aapko kya lagta hain Papa? Kyun maine kaha ki mujhe dono chahiye aur donon mein se kisike saath bhi main khush rahoonga?" Abhimanyu looked on. Abhir answered for him. 


"Because main chota tha. Sab mujhe choose karne bol rahe the per mujhe samajh nahi aa raha tha ki main kahan jaun. Maine Mahadev ki blessings li aur boldiya jo dil mein tha ki mujhe donon chahiye. 


Court ne mujhe aapke paas bhejdiya. Per main honestly khush nahi tha. Agar mumma ko dedete meri custody tab bhi main khush nahi hota. Because I didn't want to choose between my parents. 


Meri Maa jaisi bhi thi, main unse bahut pyaar karta tha. Aur aap toh meri smile ki wajah bangaye the Papa. Best friend. DocMan. My Saviour. My father. Aapke saath toh, itne kam time mein sabse zyada comfortable tha main. Aapko bhi kaise chod deta main?
