Author's Pov
" As I said before, If God really wants to punish us, then he will do. As a punishment, I need to marry Swetha," Akhil said with a sad smile.
Ishu's eyes started to sting with her tears. Arjun had a blank look like he doesn't know what to do? Karthick and Kamiya muddled at him.
Akhil continued, " I thought like that before. But, God forgave me.
Yes, Swetha understood me,"
Akhil winked at Ishu. Ishu went near him and slapped him. He looked astonished at her. He kept a hand on this cheek where she slapped and pouted at her.
She immediately hugged him and started crying.
" Sorry, Angel. I just said that for fun. I love you and I love only you. Please don't cry," he consoled while cupping her jaws.
" Please," Akhil said while removing her tears with his thumb.
" You are always like this. I don't like you. I hate you. Go away, go to Swetha or whoever you want," She pouted.
" Oh, is it? Superb. Swetha already asked me to marry her. I think now I can take that offer right," Akhil smirked.
" Oh, you have that idea right," Ishu started to punch his chest and continued, " Promise me that you will never ever think about any other in your life hereafter. Promise me,"
" Promise.. Promise.. Anyone help... She will kill me," Akhil laughed, but he didn't stop her.
Ishu stopped and started pouting while turning away from his side.
Akhil pulled her and encircles her waist with his left hand.
" I love you, Angel. You are my world and you are the only one I have in my life. Will you accept this orp" Ishu cuts off Akhil by placing her palm on this mouth, " Please, don't say that word. You are not an orphan. You have me. I love you,"
Akhil kissed her forehead with a happy smile.
Arjun and Kamiya looked at each other longingly, but Arjun turned away as he is still mad at her. Karthick is happy for them, but sad when he remembers his moments with Varsha. Karthick, Arjun, and Kamiya started to leave to give them privacy. So, Kamiya opened the door.
At that door sound, Akhil and Ishu came to their sense. They left each other and looked at the door.
" Where are you all going?" Akhil asked.
" We don't want to be a third wheel. You guys enjoy," Arjun teased.
"Guys, Sorry. We are not in our sense. Please, come inside," Akhil said while scratching his neck. Ishu didn't make eye contact with anyone as she is shy to do that.
" Ok, Karthick. Whatever. If you want to take your son with you, then it's fine. But you need to speak with Varsha first.
You claimed yourself that Varsha is your wife. Then she has every right to know about this," Akhil stated.
" How did you guys married? Varsha won't hide anything from us," Kamiya asked.
" It's a long story," Karthick explained the things which happened that day.
" But, Kamiya. You told me that she fell from the stairs that day when I asked about her sprain," Ishu asked once he completed his part.
Kamiya explained the leftover part to Ishu.
" Even you both have a handful of problems in your life. You both were thinking about my problems and resolved them without my knowledge.
I am very lucky to have you guys in my life," Ishu cried while hugging Kamiya.
" I can say the same right," Kamiya hugged her back with the tears.
Arjun, Akhil, and Karthick looked at them with an awed look. How they three understand each other without any explanation? Seriously, they are lucky to have each other in their life.
Arjun tried to analyze everything which is revealed to him today. How Kamiya trusted him without knowing anything? How she planned everything to make him fight with her? How his words would have been hurt her at that time? How she helped him without his knowledge?
How she trusted him every time when she got to know about his bits of past? How she conveyed her love when she knows about Pravna that too as a girlfriend? How she let him kiss her? She trusted him that much that's why she confessed her love.
Maybe, if he explained everything before going to the orphanage. Then it won't be a problem. Already, my bits of past which she came to know made her insecure about me. When she saw me with Pravan, I can understand that insecurity played a major role here.
I want to ask sorry to her, but this is not the right time. Karthick and Varsha's problem has to be resolved.
Every special moment came in front of his eyes like a flash.
When Arjun is in deep thinking, Kamiya and Ishu are removed from their hug.
" Varsha will understand you, Anna. But you will regret it if you didn't reveal this now. Please," Ishu stated and Arjun came out of his deep thinking at this point.
" I am scared if she doesn't accept Pravan, then what will I do?" Karthick asked.
" Who is Pravan?" Everyone turned to the voice when they heard the question with the gasp as they all know who is the owner of that voice.
Yes, Varsha is standing at the door with a tense look.
" How did you come? When did you come? " Kamiya asked as it is very shocking that how she reached within an hour when she called Karthick an hour before.
" I felt like something bad going to happen from the morning. I can't stay there with these feelings. I explained the same to my parents and told them that I want to come to Coimbatore. They said that they too will come with me to stay for some time.
I accepted and we booked the flight immediately. I want it to be a surprise to you all. That's why I didn't say anything.
When I reached here, I called you guys for the key to settle my parents in our apartment as I left my key in the apartment itself. You two didn't pick my calls. So, I thought you guys are busy with your office works. I settled my parents in the hotel which is a nearby airport.
After that, I called one person to reveal my surprise visit. But I got my surprise with his riddled talk. I saw his background when he is on call and I confirmed it's your home. That's why I came here. What the hell is happening here?" Varsha yelled at the last sentence while coming into the room.
" Who is Pravan? Why did I need to accept him? What you want him to reveal to me? Why did he said that he cheated me on the call? Can anyone explain me?" Varsha yelled all her question as nobody replying to her.
" Pravan is my son," Karthick said without making eye contact with her.
" We will think some kids like our own. It's not a prob," Karthick cuts her off, " He is my own blood,"
Karthick's eyes started to sting once again. Varsha is gasped at this. She can't trust his words. Her eyes too started to sting with her tears.
" Who.. i.. is .. the.. moth.. mother?" She struggled with her words.
Karthick stood there crying as he doesn't know how to answer her? He is scared.
" Varsha, Don't judge him without knowing the whole truth. For the answer to your question, Pravna. She is the mother of Pravan," Akhil said while giving her the Pravna's letter.
Varsha read the letter and knelt on the floor with the thud sound. Karthick too knelt down with the broken look. Varsha started sobbing. Kamiya and Ishu got scared.
They both knelt down near her and hugged her tightly.
" We all are here. Please don't judge him. We will explain whatever happened from the morning.
Please don't be broken, Varsha. I can't digest that," Kamiya said while hugging her.
Ishu and Kamiya removed from the hug. Ishu removed the tears from Ishu's eyes and explained everything which is happened from the morning.
Karthick moved near Varsha in the kneel-down position. Kamiya and Ishu stood up to give him space.
" I know you will be disgusted with me. You will hate me. I know You don't want me in your life hereafter. But please don't cry. I can't able to see that. It's killing me that I am the reason for your tears.
Even though, I know that you won't forgive me, I am sorry. I am sorry," Karthick said without looking at her.
Varsha stood up and made him stood up with her by holding his shirt color.
She slapped him. Everyone is looking at her aghast. She slapped him once again.
He stood like a statue as he thought that he deserves more than this.
" Yes, you disgust me," Varsha stated and her words broke his already broken heart.
