Snippets of Love - Multicouple OS/TS/SS

SS-1.3 : Armaan ~ Abheera

"Toh kaisa hai? Bataiye mujhe.....mai thak chuki hoon aap sab ke mausam jaise badalte behaviours ko dekh ke." (So, how is it? Tell me, I'm exhausted seeing your behaviour changing like the weather.) Abheera's voice cracked with emotion, her words laced with pain and frustration. Her eyes welled up, tears threatening to spill. She felt like she was drowning in a sea of hypocrisy.

"Aap sab apne convenience ke hisaab se mujhse pyaar aur nafrat karte hai. Kuch din pehle tak mai apke liye sabse buri thi aur aaj aap mere favour me baat kar rahi hai. Kyun? Kyuki mai maa banne wali hoon" (You all love and hate me based on your convenience. Until a few days ago, I was the worst for you, and now you're speaking in my favor. Why? Is it because I'm going to be a mother now?) Abheera's voice trembled, her heart heavy with the weight of their cruelty. Memories of their past cruelty flooded her mind, and her anger boiled over.

"Girgit bhi aaplogo se behtar hota hai, iss ghar ka koi bhi insaan meri insult karne se pehle do baar nahi sochta. Arrey mai iss ghar ki bahu hoon koi door mat nahi ki pair ragad ke side me fek diya." (Even a chameleon is better than you all; no one in this house thinks twice before insulting me. I'm this house's daughter-in-law, not a discarded rag to be thrown away.) Her words cut deep, laced with sarcasm. The pain of their past words still lingered fresh in her mind.

"Ussdin jab mere reports me aaya tha ki mai kabhi maa nahi bansakti, aap sab ne mujhe kya kuch nahi kaha, khas karke aap Vidya Poddar apne toh mujhe shraap bhi diya tha na." (When my reports said I couldn't be a mother, you all said unthinkable things, especially you, Vidya Poddar, even cursed me.) Abheera's eyes flashed with anger as Vidya looked down stealing her eyes from her.

"Aur aaj jaise hi apko pata chala ki mai maa banne wali hoon aap apni care dikha rahi hai? Wowww!" (And now that you know I'm going to be a mother, you're showing care? Wowww!) Abheera's words were followed by claps, which echoed loud in the entire mansion. The rest of the family stood silent, some in shame, some because it was not right time to speak and some because they didn't bother much.

"Aaplogo ke liye ladki ki ehmiyat bas tabh tak jab tak wo bachcha paida kar pai warna usse roz jaleel karo, til til karke maaro, itne zehreele baatein bolo ki uske jeene ki ichcha khatam hojai." (For you, a girl's importance lasts until she gives birth; otherwise, you harass her, torture her, and speak venomous words until she loses the will to live.) Abheera's words spilled out, laced with desperation.

"Mujhe toh pura bharosha hai ki kalko agar phir kuch hota hai toh sabse pehle ungli mujhpe uthegi. Mai sachme thak chuki hoon, aaplog ek kaam kijiye mujhe maar dijiye. Aaplog bhi kush mai bhi kush." (I'm convinced that if anything happens again, you'll blame me first. I'm exhausted; just kill me and be done with it. You'll be happy, and so will I.) Abheera's eyes welled up, her voice barely above a whisper. She felt suffocated by the weight of their expectations. Her feets were wobbly after letting out all her emotions that she almost collapsed on the floor.

"Abheera....." Madhaav tried to intervene. But Abheera forbade him, her words pouring out like a torrent, "Nahi! Aaj aap bhi kuch maat bolna papa. Maine inhe maa ka darja diya tha, lekin inhone mujhe beti toh dur ki baat kabhi ek insaan nahi samjha." (No! Don't say anything today, Papa. I gave her the status of a mother, but she never understood me as a daughter, or even as a human being.) Her pain and betrayal were palpable.

"Ek aurat hoke dusri aurat ka dard nahi samjha, meri reports ki numaish kardi sabke samne. Usse bhi inka jee nahi bhara toh har din har pal mujhe yaad dilati rahi ki mai maa nahi ban sakti, ki mai kitni nakam hoon." (As a woman, she didn't understand another woman's pain, and humiliated me by displaying my medical reports to everyone. But that wasn't enough; every day, every moment, she reminded me that I couldn't be a mother, that I was worthless.)
