Author POV
The whole house fell in an silence, Sarpnach exhaled a breath and said "saraswati ye saaf kardo" He commanded while pointing towards the table
Saraswati nodded her head and went to pick the cleaning towel, Sarpnach stood next to nandini and hugged her
"Beta, tum naraz toh nahi ho?"
"Nahi baba" nandini said and hugged him back, Sarpanch ruffled her hairs and went into his room
Virat also came and hugged nandini and kissed on her hairs and picking her nose, he laughed and also went outside
Nandini looked at anushka, who was standing there afar with a sad smile on her face
Nandini smiled and went into her room, Understanding she needs time, anushka didn't nudged and started doing her chores
The whole day passed with an sad-aura in the air, everyone was disturbed with the behaviour of urmila but were somewhere proud of how they took stand for nandini
The rejection time by time was causing an fear in sarpnach's heart, he was scared..
Scared to see his daughter not ending up in an good family, He wanted her to settle in a family where her husband will respect her for her decisions of learning dance over studying and where, her husband will respect her and love her regardless her freckles and her mistakes
Nandini was still a baby for him and he could not let nandini in wrong hands
Anushka was tensed as nandini didn't came out of her room the whole day, she tried to knock on the door and ask her if she is fine but nandini won't reply
She knew nandini won't take any wrong step, so she was relieved too but talking to nandini was looking better option right now to her
It was now dinner time, everyone ate their food in their respective rooms today and the house felt lonely
Anushka heart was pounding from this unusual behaviour of nandini
"Usne kal raat bhi dhang se khanna nhi khaya" Anushka said to virat, who was sitting beside her on the floor having his meal
"Anushka... Me uske pass nahi ja sakta esi chig ke baare me baat karne ke liye, kya tum abhi us se jakar baat kr sakti ho?"virat asked while stopping in between and concern visible in his voice
Aushka nodded her head and Taking the plate of food in her hand, she went towards nandini's room
Standing at the front of the door, she cleared her throat and looked behind her to see virat standing at a distance assuring her, it's okay
She knocked on the door and softly called "nandu.."
No one replied from the inside, anushka was going to knock again when the door opened
Anushka looked at her pale face and her in an cotton-pink colour clothing
Anushka showed her the plate and said "tumne kal bhi achhe se bhojan nhi Kiya"
Nandini nodded her head and took the plate and went inside
Anushka followed her and closed the door behind but didn't locked it
Nandini sat on the floor mat and started eating
Anushka slowly took steps towards her and sat beside her "Tum theek ho?" She asked to which nandini nodded her head without sparing any glance to her
"Nandini??" Anushka again asked with an worrying tone
Nandini hmmed in response
Anushka held her shoulder and made nandini look at her "hame ye faltu ki narazgi Matt dikhao, aur saaf saaf btao, Kya hua huh??" anushka softly yelled asked her
Nandini shaked her head and said "kya hi hota bhabhi, paanch baari pehle asveekar ho gaye the, aaj chhathi, jyada kya hi hota"
Anushka sighed and made nandini look at her by putting her hand under her chin
"Koi baat nahi nandu, bhagwan ne shayad tumhari Jodi kisi dusre achhe insaan ke sath banai hai, jiske bhagye me jitna likha hai, usse kabhi bhi use jyada ya use kam kaha hi milta hai" Anushka was cutt off when nandini mumbled in between"aapne aakhri panch baari bhi ye hi kaha tha bhabhi, abh hame thoda Shak hai aapko sabdo per"
Anushka frowned her eyebrows and said "Shak ki kya baat hai, Ese khandhan me jaana jaha vo tumhari ijjat hi nahi karte aur sath hi sath "rakam" jaise sabd istamal karte hai sirf ek rishta pakka karne ke liye, ese ghar me ham hamari pyaari nandu ko nahi dekh sakte"
Nandini again hmmed in response and started eating her food, Anushka sat there silently and observed nandini
Nandini's lips trembled and she bit her tongue,
The tears that she was holding from so long broke down, She sobbed and rubbed her eye
Anushka hugged her and cherished her cheek "nandu??? Roiye nahi, Ham hai nah"
Nandini POV
More tears left my eyes hearing her words, "Per ham aapke sath apna pura jeevan toh nhi beeta sakte nah bhabhi" I sobbed and gulped down my saliva
My throat hurted and I closed my eyes letting my tears out and snuggled into bhabhi's hold
"Bhabhi...hame dar lagta hai" I said and encircled my hands around her waist, holding her tightly
She patted my head and kissed my forehead"hmm?" She said telling me to continue
"Bhabhi hame dar lagta hai, agar hame kabhi sachha pyaar nah Mila toh? Kya hua agar ham ese hi yaha hi reh Gaye toh?" I sniffled and got cutt off by bhabhi
"Nahi beta, Esa nahi hoga, tumhare liye bhi bhagwan ne kuch likha hoga, jab samay aayega tabh sab sahi ho jayega" I heard bhabhi say and my heart clenched even more
"Pranatu kab aayega ye samay? Kab aayega ye pal? Do saal ho gaye hai hamare liye ladka dhundhte dhundhte, sab ko hamari in jhaiyaan se dikkat hai, abh ye hamari galti hai ki hamare chehre per pedaishi ye jhaiyaan hai? Kya ham itne badsurat dikhte hai ki koi bhi hamari jhaiyan se aage bhad kar hamare baare me jaan-na hi nhi chahte?
Cheh rishte kam nhi hote bhabhi, aur har rishte me ek hi kami ko alag alag bure sabdo me sun-na toh or bhi dukh deyi hota hai?
Uper se hamara itna neech mulay kab ho gaya ki ham abh rakam jaise sabdo ke ghere me aagye hai?
Aur maa-baba kyu? Kyu sabko jaane ko keh dete hai? Hame ye chig toh abh suvikaar karni hi padegi nah ki ham Sundar nahi hai toh hame nahi mil sakta koi bhi rishta bina dahej ke??" I was cut off when I felt someone's light slap on my cheek
I sobbed and looked at bhabhi with widen eyes, her eyes had tears too and she again slapped me
"Pagal ho gyi ho tum?? Itna bhi kya chah ek rishte me bandh jane ki, ki tum apna aatmasamman ka bhi mulay nah Karo nandini? Baat dahej ki nahi hai jiske liye baba aur maa mana karte hai, baat neeyat ki hoti hai
Jo log tumhe paane ke liye paise jaise tujh chigo ka dikhava karte hai, kyuki veh jante hai ki ham sarpnach gharane ke hai toh ham me shamta hai unki Khali jholi bharne ki, tum soch bhi kese sakti ho ki vese log shaddi ke baad tumhara khayal bhi rakhenge??
Duniya ek achhi jagah nhi hai nandini, Sare pati-patni ke jode me prem nahi hota nandini, Kafi aurate esi hai jinhe apni jindagi me prem nahi milta apne khud ke pati se aur vo puri jindagi tarsti hai pyaar ke liye or kyu?? Kyuki unme se Kai aurate apne khayali pullav me, shaddi ke waqt apne pati ko achhe se samjhti nahi or shaddi jaisa bada kadam le leti hai, ye soch kar jaise koi filmy duniya hai
Tumhe toh khush hona chahiye ki tumhare pass ese maa-baap hai jo tumhare liye itne rishto ko chor chuke hai!!" She yelled at me and I broke more into tears and hugged her
"Per me kya Karu bhabhi? Aasan nahi hai khud ko ese har baar harte hue dekhna" I said trying to form words
"Tum abhi tak nahi Hari ho nandini, per ese dil hi dil me tut kar tum pakka khud ko nuksaan phocha Rahi hai
Tumhare pass Prem hai!! Baba, maa, me, roop, Aur tumhare Bhai, ham sab tumhe kitna Prem karte hai, tum Chand ka tukda ho hamare liye
Jo pati ka prem hota hai vo tum maa baba per aur parmatma per chor do, Parmatma jab samay aayega tabh tumhe ek esa insaan bhejenge Jo tumhara hamesha khayal rakhega or kabhi bhi tumhari jhaiyaan per tumhe bura mehsoos nahi karyega, ek esa insaan Jo tumhe kabhi bhi kisi bhi dhan ki rakam me nahi ginega aur ek esa insaan Jo tumhari ijjat karega,
Aur maa baba, kabhi bhi tumhe galat haatho me nahi jaane denge, un per bharosa rakho nandu
Jaan hai aap ham sab ki, aapko ese tut-ta hua dekh kar, hamara Dil kitna dukha hai aapko malum hai" she said and looked at me in her arms,
I rubbed my eyes to clean off tears and looked at her with apologetic eyes, she smiled and kissed my cheeks and hugged me again
"Bhagwan sab sahi kar dega" she said and I smiled and hugged her tightly
Truly, I never realised how she was always there for me whe I needed someone to whom I could talk, My parents were always there for me whenever I wanted anything and was confused with any decision, how maa always fed me with her hands and taught me crocheting, dancing and all
How baba used to brush my hairs when I used to go school, how he would buy me kulfi from stalls and pick me up from school
I remembered how virat bhai would always treat me like his daughter than an sister, how possesive he is towards me and how he massaged my ankle for an hour when I had sprain
A tears escaped my eye when it striked me that how ungrateful I was being
I snuggled my head into bhabhi's neck and sniffled
Bhabhi stroked my back and patted my head
"Chalo abh achhi bachhi ko tarah khanna kha lo, tumne subah se kuch nhi khaya" I broke the hug and nodded while licking tears off my lips
"Haan ese hi harkate karna" bhabhi taunted and I laughed slightly
She tore an piece of chapati and made me ate it,

"Meri nandu" Virat whispered to himself and controlling his tears, he went to aangan and tried to calm him down
He was interrupted when someone called him from behind "bhai?"
