HIS POSSESSION [ Under Editing ]

20.A. Tears And Secrets ( Part 2 )

( Akshat's P.O.V )

I sat there alone on the rock in cloudy night thinking about Guddan & Dad.
I was in a confused state of mind.
How will I make Guddan trust me,
How will I make her realise that her perception of me being "perfect" Is utterly ridiculous.

I too have flaws, I too have my own demons whom I'm fighting.
I'm not perfect,

How will I make her believe in our relationship, in me, that I'm always here for her, no matter what.
My feelings for Guddan are never gonna change,
She is the one and only girl for me,
the girl of my dreams.

I sighed in exhaustion and went back towards my house wandering alone on the streets of Indore under thick blanket of lone clouds.

I was almost at the door when I heard shouting sounds from inside,
I quietly entered the living room and witnessed Dad fuming in anger & yelling at Angad while Mom was trying to calm them down.

Dad's gaze found mine and he got even more angry if that's possible.
Now everyone's attention was focused on me, He stared at me for a while and then suddenly got in front, towering me,

" What was that little act at dinner table displayed by that girl.?
How dare she disrespect me,
I thought you are mature enough to choose a good partner for yourself but how can you be so reckless,
You could've at least checked her background. "

Dad was getting more and more angrier by passing second while I was becoming more anxious.
A sudden wave of possessiveness and a need to defend Guddan clouded my vision,

" Sorry Dad, But you are a bit exaggerating the situation, she didn't mean that and neither she did that purposely, she....."

" What.!!  So now you are going to argue with your father over a girl.? " Mom's accusation cut my sentence and I swallowed hard, they are misunderstanding me.
I glanced at Angad silently asking his support but he just shrugged and mouthed the words,

Your Girl, Your Fight.

" We don't approve of that girl, she disrespected us,
She didn't even introduced us to her parents,
No, this is not happening,
We will not accept Guddan and one more thing,
You are not going to keep any contact with her either, "

My heart twisted with burning anger and in that moment I blurted my heart out.

" You think you can order me around whom I can talk to,  whom I can date.?
Like Fuckin' hell I'll not contact Guddan,

What's her fault.?
Ehh Dad, what had she done.?
Just because she left the family dinner in mid-conversation doesn't mean she disrespect you,

Mom you know why she didn't introduced us to her family,
Because she don't have one. "

At this Mom Dad and Angad froze stunned, I never talked back to my parents once in my life but today they were wrong and I needed to let this all out.

" You know why she left so suddenly and abruptly,
Because she felt like she doesn't fit in with our family,
She thinks that I've a perfect family,
Whereas she deserves to be alone.

You both just assumed and announced the final result without even knowing the truth, you said you will not accept Guddan as my partner,

Why.??  Just because she lost her mother , when she was a teenager.?
Or because her Father remarried to a woman who verbally and mentally broke down Guddan,
Or because she is so insecure about herself that she is afraid of trusting anyone.

To answer your statement Mom & Dad,
I'm not going to leave Guddan,
I'll support her with every ounce of strength inside me,

I have sworn I'll break the walls bounding her heart and I'll damn sure do it.
No one can stop me."

I turned my back and went away swiftly to my room totally ignoring the look of shock and guilt on my parent's face.

It was past midnight and I was lost in deep thoughts when I heard a soft knock at my room's door.
A moment later Mom Dad entered the room followed by Angad,

Dad made eye contact with me for a short span of a sec and stood near the window facing opposite me,
He never shows his weakness or emotion to anyone,

Mom came cautiously near me and put her arm around my shoulder,

" I am sorry, I am really sorry for behaving like that without thinking,. That was so inconsederate of us,
We both want to apologize to you Akshat.
I never imagined that sweet girl has been through this much,
We are with you and we will support your decision, "

My heart swelled with happiness upon hearing this,

" You and Dad are not angry with me.? "

" No, And in fact we came here to tell you that whatever we said in living room was out of anger and without analysing the situation properly,
But now I'm saying seriously,
If you ever hurt Guddan even a liitle, I'll beat your butt that's for sure.
I will love her like a daughter,
She is not alone, our family is her family too.
Do whatever you have to do, just bring my daughter back. Got it.?  "

I couldn't stop the wide grin that etched on my face upon hearing this.

" That means you both have accepted my relationship with Guddan ,"

" There's a problem, " Dad spoke in a serious tone and turned towards me with an equal serious face,
Once again my heart picked up it's race and I embraced myself for what was about to come.

" What's the problem Dad,? "

" Actually,
I want a little Grand- Daughter first "

I blinked repeatedly and even pinched my self,
Have I really gone crazy or did dad really said what I heard,

Out of no where He started laughing followed by Mom & Angad who was witnessing our exchange in silence till now,

I too joined the laughing company and got lost in the happy moment with my " Not perfectly perfect " But " Trying to be perfect" Family. ❤
