Happy Reading 📖
'Bhavya tell me. What did happen that day? How did you fall off the building? Tell me'
Rudy asked being concerned
'Hm.. I had something else important to ask you'
As usual she changed the topic
'Who told you to marry me!'
Rudy gulped nervously at bhavya's question. She looked angry
'I.. I..'
'What I.. I ha! Answer me. Mr. Rudr Singh Oberoi'
'We had already talked about marriage'
He justified
'So what. It was a decision of my life too. How could you take it alone? Is that a joke too'
At that, he sweated
'Bhavya. You love me right? Why are making it an issue then'
'Wahh! You do not even apologize. And just justifying your side'
She mocked
'At that time I could not think of something else. I did not want to leave you alone. I can't'
Tears formed in his eyes. When she looked at him, her eyes widened in shock. She cupped his face quickly
'Rudy.. Rudy Are you crying. I was just playing'
'Seriously?! Is that a thing to joke. You literally took my life away. Check how fast my heart is beating'
He told angrily before keeping her hand on his chest. She chuckled at the race of his heartbeat
'Still a kid'
She commented
'No I am not. For your kind information, I am a married man'
He told raising his head with pride
'But rudy. I am a bit disappointed'
'Why?'
'Because I always wanted to dress up as a bride. I had many dreams about my wedding like all other girls. Everything went into drain'
'Don't worry about that. We've already planned a grand wedding for us. Once you are completely fit and fine, we'll do it. Just tell me how do you want it to happen'
He smiled at her. Being an excited kid she exclaimed before throwing herself in his arm
******
laying on the bed, 8 months old Ayaan was giggling throwing his legs and arms in the air. Annika was getting ready for the day not before putting a pillow wall on either side of him. Shivaay was at work at the academy.
Shivaay has been busy for a while as he had to maintain his business with lecturer work. He decided to work at college until he could manage both simultaneously. In the initial days memories were a burden on him, but a single glimpse of Anaay when comes back home was enough to lighten up his heart. Unfortunately, that has become the moment he rarely gets, reason is nothing but the tight schedule
Annika took anaay in her arms and walked to ruvya's room following her routine. Their breakfast was already done with family and everybody is busy with their respective work. Anaay jumped in her arms as soon as saw his most favorite companion, his chachi. With a wide grin on her face, bhavya embraced him. Ayaan giggled, putting his tiny finger in his wide-open mouth. Bhavya kissed his head
B: where ich my baby? Whede ich chahi's good boy..
Bhavya talked cutely. The more she talked the more he jumped in her lap and giggled aloud. Annika looked at them with admiration. Her son is a chachi's person. His mother is long forgotten if he gets to see bhavya. No one to blame if someone misunderstood her as his mother. Their bond was no less than a mother-son.
B: give me a kish....
Bhavya told pointing her cheek. Soon, Ayaan's lips were touching there
'One more here'
bending down, she touched her nose. his face reached there quickly.
'Give a kiss for mumma also'
Sitting beside them Annika asked for one, though she knows he never obeys. He often kisses bhavya only, maybe because she is the one who taught him to kiss. Annika pouted as Ayaan did not pay attention rather than explore bhavya's face with his tiny palms. Bhavya hissed when his finger went into her eyes. Hearing the sound he pulled back his hands and stared at her face innocently. She fake cried to see his reaction
'Ahh.. My eyes are hurting.. Ahh'
Soon he turned cranky. Tears rolled down through his reddish cheeks and tried to go to Annika. Taking her in his arms annika rubbed his back.
'Nothing baby.. Chachi is lying. How dare she, ha! Let mamma beat her'
She pretended as beating bhavya only to double up his cries. Both laughed at his cuteness
B: aww.. Chorry chorry... Look chachi is ok. I am not crying. Good boychs don't cry baby.
Weeping lightly he stared at her.
'Give me a kish'
Bhavya told to which he smiled widely and threw himself into her arms.
A: remember mamma only when you are hungry ok!
Annika pouted faking anger.
B: aww... Mamma is sad. Give mamma a kiss.
'Give mamma a kiss' she repeated holding Ayaan near to Annika's face. He touched her cheek with his open mouth making his mother squeal in happiness
'Aww.. my baby'
She kissed his head with love
Their fun went on until Ayaan is asleep in Annika's arms after filling his stomach.
'Come, we need to go for walk'
Annika told bhavya once she laid anaay in the cradle
Holding her hand, she helped bhavya to get down from the bed. Now bhavya is able to walk for fifteen or twenty minutes without the help of crutches. She needs to exercise hard to get rid of the pain that occurs afterward.
FLASHBACK
(4 months leap after bhavya talked)
It was a usual day. After helping bhavya for bathing Annika was laundering inside the washroom. Bhavya was sitting on a chair in the room and wiping off the remaining wetness in the hair. Four months old Ayaan was playing with himself on the bed. His entire attention was on the fan on the ceiling. His toes were in his grip only. Bhavya smiled hearing his giggles. All of a sudden, She looked back with a jerk when heard the sound of falling something. To her utter shock, Ayaan had rolled on the bed, and the pillow wall is already on the floor.
B: bhabhi..
She called as loud as she could. She is still facing some trouble with talking. Her throat would pain when talks loud.
'Bhabhi' she called once again a bit more loudly but annika was not hearing due to the sound of water. Her throat pained and she was coughing. Her heart thudded faster when ayaan reached the edge of bed. An inch of move, he would be on the ground. He made the next move and she did not know how she reached there to hold him.
When annika came back to the room, her eyes widened in shock. How did bhavya reach to bed?! Even bhavya seemed in a daze as if trying to grasp what actually happened.
'Bhavya... How.. You'
Annika stammered
'I don't know bhabi. My legs are numb now'
She told..
FLASHBACK ENDS
After that incident, She could not even make a step for a few days. Her legs were numb and paining like anything. But as per the doctor's instruction, Annika helped her to exercise. Currently, she is improving day by day.
'Bhabi.. I forgot to say. The doctor had called me. According to my report. I will be able to walk without crutches within a month'
Bhavya happily announced wiping off the sweat from her arms once they came back from exercising. But Annika was in another world to hear something.
Annika still wonders about the bhavya's behavior. She is not treating her as her life spoiler. She neither questioned nor shouted at her for doing such a thing with her. She was on the edge of death, why did she not hate the reason? She has never initiated a talk with her regarding that incident. Did she forget or forgive her?! Annika wanted to apologize her heart out. Though confusing thoughts are suffocating her, she did not have the guts to bring memories of that horrible day to fade the smile on bhavya's face. She had decided to ask everything once bhavya is all fit and fine. Today, she found it appropriate to take an initiate
A: bha..bhavya
B: hmm...
A: I.. I..
Bhavya glanced at her fidgeting fingers and bent down eyes.
B: do you want to know why I am not angry at you for trying to kill me
Her tone was serious and Annika's head shot up being shocked
'I am not so big-hearted to forgive a person who literally killed me bhabhi'
Her hurt-filled voice gave the same pain to Annika's heart
'Come'
She calmly held Annika's wrist and led her to sit on the bed. Once both were seated, she continued
'Bhabhi, I have bore so much just because of that accident. But I just can't live only for cursing that day. Maybe it was my fate. I tell you, I would have never ever forgiven you if you had left me to die, if you had left me just to breath like a dead body. Addition to the physical pain, I was mentally struggling during those days. I could do nothing. I could not even move nor talk to someone my heart out. with flooding thoughts, my heart was so heavy than I could endure, But you stayed by my side and took care of all of my needs. You had not failed to look after even my little things. I have noticed many times you were not caring about yourself but me. You neither eat until make me eat nor slept until I did. Even During the pregnancy, you least cared about your health. Most of the time everybody was busy with their respective work, but you stayed by my side all the time and made sure I am comfortable. You had never let me feel lonely. You were beside me before I woke up and stood until I fall asleep. You are the only reason if I am living today, if I am talking, walking and all. Yes, I had suffered but eventually, I got to know you are highly repenting your mistake. We are humans we do mistakes, we can never re-write our past. You did what you could do. Anyways, what would I get by just hating you my life long? I can't change that happened right. In fact, I am grateful for bringing me back to life. For not giving up on me. If you were not there, I would have been lying on this bed. Just breathing like a lifeless body. But bhabhi! Something still hurt me. I was suffering.. I was suffering throughout but I could not recall what mistake had I done (sobs came out of her mouth and voice cracked, and tears made their way out) I tried all the time to remember but I did not get it. I don't know the reason. Out of nowhere, I was.....
You are the only one who can answer me. What had I done so wrong bhabhi?'
Cupping her mouth Annika suppressed her loud cries. Bhavya's words broke her heart mercilessly
A: that... that.. Was a misunderstanding.. Sorry
She hugged bhavya tightly and cried her heart out
B: okay.. Let's leave the past behind. I won't ask you anymore
Rubbing her back bhavya tried to calm her down. She cried severely, pressing her face to bhavya's shoulder
Unknown to them, rudr was hearing their talk, outside the room. He did not expect such a big shock when came back home from office for lunch, which is unusual for him. He was shaking with rage by then. His jaws tightened and fist clenched. His eyes were bloodshot and face had turned red in anger. He did not even imagined in his wild dreams that his sister-in-law would be the reason behind bhavya's condition.
*******
At night
Shivaay was feeding squashed fruit to Anaay. Being an obedient child he eats it without any tantrums. Annika is settling the bed. Ayaan bent down in his arms aiming at an object on the table.
S: you want dadda's keys..
Shivaay told handing him the keys. Holding it with both his hands he took it to his mouth. Shivaay pulled it back quickly
'It's dirty baby. Don't do that'
But Ayaan was adamant about tasting it. He tried once again but his father was not in a mood to let him succeed.
'Won't you listen to me? Then give me the keys'
Scolding playfully shivaay took back the keys and that was it for Ayaan, he wailed.
'Ok shorry shorry.. Take it'
Shivaay gave it back. His eyes widened when Ayaan shoved it. Annika laughed at him and went beside.
'Dadda is so bad. Don't talk to him, come to mamma'
Annika held him, before she could take he laid his head on shivaay's shoulder making her pout. Nevertheless, his cries were not lessening
'Ok.. Ok.. Come with dadda. Let's go out'
'Where?'
Annika asked with a frown.
'We'll sit in the car for a while. He'll stop crying'
He said while heading out
*******
'MISS.ANNIKA VARDHAN TRIVEDI'
Rudy's roar gathered everyone in the hall at late night. Bhavya was the first to approach him who has been waiting for him to return. His state bothered her, his clothes and hair were messed up and his legs were not stable.
'Are you drunk rudy?'
She asked holding his shoulders to support
'Why should I tell you. D0 you tell me everything'
His voice accused her of something unknown to her
'What.. What happened?'
She asked fearing to hear something bad
'How many times.. How many times I had asked about that day. Why did you do that? How did it happen? But.. But you always brought one or other thing to change the topic. I did not know that the reason I was searching for was in this house only. The person who literally killed you was in front of my eyes'
He pointed at Annika making all of them shocked
'What are you even saying rudy'
'Oh! Don't be like I know nothing. I have heard it from your mouth only. I heard you both talking'
'Please be quiet don't talk about this now'
She pleaded
'It's too late to talk about this. Because the culprit have been living peacefully doing such a thing to us. I won't spare her'
He was about to move towards Annika who stood behind her. She held him tight not letting him move
'Why are you making it a fuss rudy. Everything is fine now right? She is the one who took care of me and brought me back to life'
'She is the same who pushed you to death bhavya. And about care. Now I knew.. she was doing that out of fu**ing guilt'
He shouted making her flinch
'I forgave her rudy. Then why you can't. Please don't create a problem'
She tried to specify
'So what? I did not. I did not forgive her. I will never. It was not only about you it was about us'
'Rudy even you were busy with your work. But she was always by my side looking after all of my needs'
'Oh! So you are accusing me. You mean I didn't care for you'
He was hurt
'No..I..'
'I was living the way you wanted bhavya'
'Rudy please listen to me. Please calm down. We will talk tomorrow. You are drunk'
'I know what I am talking bhavya. Stay away now. You don't need to interfere. I will kick this lady out of this house right now. I can't stay under the same roof with her. God knows when will she kill you'
he shouted pointing at Annika again. It angered shivaay. Whatever he says, he can't see someone insulting Annika or hurting her. Before he could react. Bhavya screamed 'Rudy'. She began to cough and it went uncontrollable
'Bhavya!'
Annika shouted and tried to go to her. Before she could rudy blocked her way
R: don't even touch her..
Glaring at her with his bloodshot eyes he sat beside bhavya who was now sitting on the sofa. Terrifying all of them, blood came out of her mouth the more she coughed. Shivaay rubbed her back and Annika stood there helpless. By that time, pinky brought water and she drank it. After a few more minutes she composed herself and breathed normally
S: Are you ok?
Bhavya nodded while her gaze fell on Annika who was silently shedding tears.
Rudy walked towards Annika and looked at her accusingly.
'Are you satisfied now?! She is still not ok! You are solely responsible'
Annika could do nothing rather than looking down
'Rudy enough! You can't insult my wife like that'
Shivaay interrupted surprising Annika the most. She looked at him with a jerk. He was stepping beside her.
'You wanted her to leave this house, right? What did you say you can't stay under the same roof with her? Fine! We are leaving. We are leaving today itself'
He added shocking the family to the core.
'Bhaiyya. What are you saying?! You are not going anywhere? You are not involved in this. So please...'
'She is not leaving alone either'
'Let her go. You don't need to'
'Would you have done that if the same happened with your wife?'
'who other humans can do such thing as she did'
At that Annika's mouth left a loud cry. She could not hold it when those words broke her heart into pieces. Shivaay held her hand for support and shouted at rudy simultaneously. He pulled her with him to their room
******
Annika is weeping sitting on the bed.
'Tears can do nothing'
Shivaay told sitting beside her.
'This wound will give me pain lifelong'
She told between her sobs
He wrapped his hand around her and pulled her into his embrace. She laid her head on his chest and wept
'You have repented your mistake. Now don't feel guilty about it. And about rudy. I would have reacted the same if I was in his place. He loves bhavya so much. Also, he might not be able to digest the fact all of a sudden. Everything will be fine. I'm with you'
He assured
'You should not leave your house for me'
'No arguments on that. I have nothing more to say than I told there'
'Can I ask you something?'
She mumbled
'Hmm..'
'Did you forgive me?'
She asked raising her head from his chest to look at his face.
