I went closer and saw them. The person who was beating just yelled...
" WHY THE HECK YOU DID THIS TO MY FAMILY !!!??? "
Its him..
He was beating his copy black and blue. But the other wasn't even reacting but was looking with tears.
" Vikram.. listen- ", he tried speaking but got slapped instead.
And what I saw just made me freeze at my spot. That rage on Vikram's eyes were unknown to me. The softness on Vishwa's eyes as well. Usually those were on the opposite eyes.
Vikram was about to slap him again but i ran in between making the slap land on my cheeks instead. He just froze on his spot.. so do I. My eyes met his eyes which were now softening bit by bit. He withdrew his hands slowly and my hands made its way to my cheek which was burning like hell. But our eyes were locked as if it doesn't have a key to unlock.
Without any choice I had to break the lock!!
I turned to see Vishwa standing with the same expression behind me.
" Are you okay ? ", I asked. He nodded looking down.
I don't know why I asked that to Vishwa. Maybe I want an unborn baby's father safe !!
I turned back to see Vikram walking away from us not before passing an hurtful glance. It was full of anger and hurt. No..
" Why did you save me ?"
.....
Now me and Vishwa were walking on the road from hospital to nowhere. I took him to a doctor for his injuries. I got leave from the flower shop because I want to slap this bastard.
" Why did you save me ? "
I slapped him. He looked unaffected.
I grabbed his collar and slapped him again. I slapped him again to let go of my anger.
" YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO QUESTION TO ME!! ", i said stressing each word glaring at him. He just smiled rubbing his cheeks.
" Its okay. It wasn't much painful than Vikram's ", he said.
" How can you just joke at my anger and rage ? You know what ? I should've let Vikram kill you because he have every right to it. I don't know why he left after slapping me but feel grateful that it was good for you anyways ", i said looking at the sky with tears.
" Arent you angry now ? "
" What are you even asking ? I want to take a knife from nowhere and stab you recklessly but I feel like my hands are tied from doing so ", i said slowly. He stopped at his path.
" Why don't you kill me ? "
" I don't want my sister's child be a fatherless one. Even though it doesn't deserve a bloody bastard like you either but i have no choice but to tell you.. ", i said coldly but his head snapped towards me when i said those.
" Aadhya is pregnant ?? ", he asked me with tears to which I just nodded.
.........
I went back to home with a smile. I knocked at the door. I heard it unlocked. The door was pushed open by Aadhya who was showing a six month baby bump. She smiled at me and it faded as soon as she saw the person beside me.
" Aishu.. ", she shouted as soon as she pulled me inside the apartment. She was about to close the door on his face but I held her hands from doing that.
" No.. " , I said immediately and she gave me a teary look of disbelief.
" What are you doing Aishu ? ", she whispered while controlling her tears. She snapped her head towards him and her eyes were full of unknown emotions. Full of confusions.
On the other side Vishwa looked at Aadhya's baby bump and then at her with tears. His eyes showed happiness, guilt, anger and love for her.
" Aadh- ", he tried speaking but stopped as soon as she pushed me on the sofa.
" Aishu. I don't think you can do this to me. You have brought the same person who spoilt our lives someday. You know who he was and what a betrayer he is. And still ?? ", she shouted with tears flowing from her eyes. She then looked at him. I got up from the sofa and tried holding her.
" And you know what Aishu ? I've prayed to God that we should be happy from now on and I don't want to go to the past again. But now ? The past regrets are standing infront of me.. that too because of you !! ", she said crying. She hugged me and I hugged her back.
Vishwa kneeled down and cried hitting himself. He was crying his heart out!!
" Aa.. Aadhu.. please listen. I'm sorry.... I know I did the worst. Please forgive me. I beg forgiveness Aadhu.. please.. ", he whispered while crying. He joined his hands and begged her for forgiveness.
" JUST GO AWAY!!! "
.............
He had his reasons too. But he refused to tell us. He kneeled before Aadhya as a guilt and begged. She refused to give him chance but looking for him all changed and long-lost.. she can't hold herself but to accept him.
But that is on an agreement that he need to pursue her for forgiveness in a way she believes him.
Last I saw was them hugging and crying as they saw eachother after half a year.
But now Aadhya sleeping on Vishwa's lap. I smiled at that and whispered at Vishwa.
" You still don't deserve her but it's okay.. ", I said smilingly to which he smiled back. He caressed her hair while she was in her deep slumber.
Finally she is sleeping peacefully after months.. or years ??
Hope he never gets back to his old self.
But why was Vikram beating Vishwa ? So they know eachother now ? Now Vikram know who Vishwa is and how it all happened.. great !!
I came out of the apartment to have some fresh air and I don't have any idea of disturbing them too. I wore a shawl around me to prevent cold. I sat on the stairs of terrace.
" Why do you always come out at the wrong hours ? ", I heard a voice from behind. I turned back and shrieked.
" Excuse me.. you just scared the shit out if me ", I said panting like a heart patient. He laughed.
Yup. It was my neighbor Shakti. Huff he does these things.
" Why ? Are you scared ? ", he asked while having seat beside me. He's a bit talkative. Not a bit actually a lot !!
" No.. I'm a tigress ", I said and grinned. He laughed too.
" Yes you are.. now I'm scared ", he said and I smacked his shoulders lightly.
He talked and talked till I was tired. But he was always so lonely and sad. He said he had none to talk with. He rarely smile before. He even said that I made him happy and he finally have a friend.
He's too genuine. He helped me and even tell that I'm his friend too. I'm always grateful to him.
" So.. who is that man ? ", he asked all if the sudden. I looked at him.
" His name is Vishwa ", I said.
" Your friend ? ", he asked and I nodded.
" I heard from granny that your sister is pregnant. Care to explain where is her husband ? ", he asked softly. He made sure not to invade privacy.
" No.. I'm sorry ", I said and he nodded smilingly.
" Aren't you going to sleep ? It's already half past midnight ", he said standing up.
" You go.. I'll be going after few minutes ", i said. He nodded and asked to go soon.
I tried getting up from the place but i felt as if I'm glued to it. I felt my heart wrenching for something.
I sat back on the stairs and looked at the moon. Last time I saw full moon was at Vikram's mansion. I saw it and my heart gave me a new feel. Maybe a long-lost feel. Maybe my long-lost love..
He's here.. - my mind said.
Yes.. he's here. He saw me today. He saw me helping his foe. He slapped me accidentally. He saw me with tears, anger, hurt and my betrayal. I can't take it. But what can I do ?
Will he believe me ? Will he hear my side of the story ? Will he see in my point of view ? Will he love me back ? Will he atleast forgive me ?
No.. he won't.. he can't.. after all he do is ignoring. Atleast he should've slapped me again and again to let his anger go. But he felt hurt after slapping me accidentally. He's still kind inside.
Maybe he regret loving me ?
STAY TUNED!!!
