ONE LAST CHANCE {ON HOLD}

Chapter 12

"Manish ji, humein sachai ko samajhna hoga," Swarna softly said, placing a hand on his shoulder. "Abhira humare beech nahi hai."

Swarna looked a little angry as Manish was caring for a girl who was not even their family. Whom they don't even know properly.

Ruhi who was looking at him till now couldn't stop herself from going near him.

She kept her hand on his shoulder. Manish turned and looked at her but again averted her gaze from her.

"B Nanu. Aa....aap please itna stress ma....mat lijiye..... aapki tab.... tabiyat kharab ho jayegi." She said.

"Dur raho mujhse." The words came out of his mouth making Swarna, Ruhi and others shocked.

Ruhi looked at him in shock. She widened her eyes and looked at Swarna who was shocked too.

"B...na...nanu...." She couldn't complete as Manish stopped her in between.

"Nahi h...hu mai tera... B nanu.... koi hak nahi hai tera mujh...mujhe B Nanu bulane ka." He said looking at her with red teary eyes.

"Ye....yeh aap k...kya keh rah....rahe hai B Nanu?" She asked.

"Bilkul sa....sahi keh raha hu... Aur mer....meri nazaro ke saamne se hat jaao..... tumhari shakal bhi.....bhi nahi dekhna chahta hu ma...mai." Manish said not looking at her.

Ruhi's heart sank as she heard Manish's words, her eyes brimming with tears at the pain and rejection in his voice. She couldn't comprehend why he was pushing her away, why he was shutting her out in his time of need.

"B Nanu, aap aise kyu keh rahe hai? Mai toh bas aapka saath dene aayi hu. Aapko support karne. Aapke dard mein mere liye bhi bahut takleef hai." Her voice quivered.

"Yeh sab us Abhira ki....ki vajah se ho raha hai... Jaroor usi ne aa....apke kaam bhare honge." Ruhi continued with tears.

"Bas" He stood up and shouted at her.

"Ruhi, tum samajh nahi sakti. Tumhein kuch nahi pata Abhira ke bare mein. Tum bas... bas apne raste se hat jao. Mujhe tumhara saath nahi chahiye." His voice was filled with bitterness.

"Tu ......tum sach mein selfish hot...hoti jaa rahi ho." He said.

"B Nan....Nanu aap ese kyu keh rahe hai. Kya galati hai meri? Kyu mujhse ese baat kar rahe hai?" She asked with tears.

"Gala...galati janani hai na tumhe apni?" He asked to which she nodded.

"To theek hai, Suno. Tumhari pehli galati, Aarohi ka accident Akshu ki vajah se nahi balki teri vajah se hua tha. Teri dusri galati tune Akshu ko blame kiya Aarohi ke accident ke liye, teri teesri galati tune Armaan se pyaar kiya. Teri chauthi galati tune Rohit ko dhokha diya. Teri paanchvi galati tune humesha apni galatiyo ka blame Abhira per daal diya, Teri chathi galati, tum humesha Armaan aur Abhira ke beech aayi, Teri saatvi galati tune humesha Armaan ko yeh yaad dilaya ki Armaan aur Abhira ki shaadi sirf ek contract hai aur humesha un dono ko alag karne ki koshish ki." Manish said making Ruhi shock.

The Poddar Family looked at him in shock with the revelation about Armaan And Ruhi's Love. They looked at Armaan who was not listening to anyone.

"Yeh....yeh aap kya keh rahe hai Manis....Manish ji" Kaveri asked being shocked.

"Haan, Kaveri ji, yeh sach hai," Manish interjected, his voice heavy with emotion. "Ruhi ne hamesha hamare parivaar ko takleef mein daalne ki koshish ki hai.

"Ma....Manish ji aap ese kyu baat kar rahe hai? Ruhi aapki po...poti hai." Swarna said angrily.

"Toh Abhira bhi meri poti hai. Meri Akshu ki beti hai." Manish shouted angrily making everyone shock.
