Abhira was working on Dadi-sa's case when suddenly someone entered her cabin. She looked up to find Madhav standing there.
"Ab aap bhi mujhe kuch sunane aaye hai?" She asked without any expression not looking at him.
"Nahi nahi Abhira. Mujhe tum pe vishwas hai. Mai jaanta hu tum ek bohot acchi lawyer ho. Tum kabhi kisi ka bura nahi chahogi." Madhav said as he sat on the chair opposite to her.
"Toh phir kyu aaye hai aap yaha?" She asked still not looking at him.
"Ek baar apne papa ke saamne dekhogi bhi nahi tum?" He asked in low tone.
She looked up at him and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Papa" She cried as Madhav came towards and hugged her.
"Shhh.....shhh....naa baccha ese nahi rote." He said caressing her hairs.
Madhav gently wiped Abhira's tears and spoke softly, "Abhira, main jaanta hoon ki tumhe kitni mushkil mein daal diya gaya hai. Par main yeh bhi jaanta hoon ki tum bahut strong ho. Tumne hamesha apne jazbaat ko control kiya hai aur insaaf ki raah par chalne ki koshish ki hai."
Abhira looked at him with hurt evident in her eyes, "Par papa, sab mujhe galat samajh rahe hain. Maa-sa, Armaan, sab..."
Madhav held her hands firmly, "Abhira, tum sachai ke saath ho, aur sachai kabhi nahi har sakti. Main yeh jaanta hoon ki tumne koi galati nahi ki hai. Tumne sirf insaaf ki raah chuni hai. Aur main tumhare saath hoon, hamesha."
Abhira nodded, "Papa, mujhe bahut dar lag raha hai. Dar hai ki main haar jaungi, dar hai ki meri saari mehnat bekaar ho jayegi."
Madhav's eyes reflected determination as he looked at her, "Beta, haar maan lena kabhi bhi manzil tak pahunchne ka raasta nahi hota. Tumhe apne maksad ki taraf badhte hue kadam uthane honge, aur main tumhare saath hu. Armaan ki baato ko bhul jaao. Aur apne liye, apni self respect ke liye ladna seekho."
"Pa....par voh esa kaise keh sakta hai Papa. Maine humes....humesha uspe bharosa kiya le....lekin usne kya kiya? M...mujhe chor keh diya. Mai sach mein vaha apni file lene gayi thi papa. Voh toh uski file bhi meri file ke jaise colour ki thi isiliye maine voh utha li. But mai use check karke rakhne hi wali thi ki itne mein voh aa gaya. Aur mujhe galat saabit kar diya. Kisine mera saath nahi diya. Maa-sa ne bhi saath chod diya. Kiara, Krish, Aaryan un logo ne bhi meri baat nahi maani." Abhira cried in Madhav's arms.
Madhav held Abhira close, "Beta, sometimes people disappoint us, even those we trust the most. Par yeh mat bhoolo ki tumne apne principles aur sachai ko kabhi nahi chhoda. Tumhari integrity aur self-respect tumhari asli taakat hai."
He gently brushed away her tears and continued, "Armaan ki baaton ko mat suno. Tumhare andar jo sachai hai, voh tumhe sahi raah dikhayegi. Aur jab tak tum apne aap par vishwas rakho aur apne maksad ke liye lade, koi bhi tumhe haar nahi sakta."
Abhira nodded, "Papa, main sach mein bahut toot gayi hoon. Lekin main aapse vaada karti hoon ki main apni self-respect aur sachai ke liye ladti rahungi. Main apni manzil tak pahunchungi."
Madhav smiled proudly at his daughter's determination. "Beta, main jaanta hoon tumhe vishwas hai, aur tumhe safalta milegi. Tumne kabhi haar nahi mani hai, aur aaj bhi nahi manogi. Bas, himmat mat haarna, aur hamesha sachai ke saath chalna."
Abhira hugged him tightly, "Papa, aap mere saath hain, na? Main aapse bahut pyaar karti hoon. Ek aap aur chachi-sa hi hai jo mujh par vishwas karte hai."
Madhav hugged her back, "Haan beta, main hamesha tumhare saath hoon. Mai humesha tumhara saath dunga. Hum milkar har mushkil ko paar karenge."
"Thank You Papa. Thank You So Much." She said looking at him.
"Aacha voh sab chod mai yaha ek bohot jaruri baat batane aaya tha." He said in a serious tone.
"Haa papa, boliye." She said wiping her tears.
"Is case ke baare mein mujhe kuch bohot jaroori saboot mile hai. Vahi dikhane aaya tha mai tujhe." He said.
Abhira's eyes widened with curiosity, "Kya saboot hai, Papa? Kya aapko pata chala hai ki Dadi-sa masoom hai?"
Madhav nodded solemnly, "Haan beta, mujhe lagta hai ki humne Maa-sa ko galat samjha hai. Mainey kuch documents aur records dekhe hain, jo yeh dikhate hain ki Dadi-sa ke khilaaf sab kuch ek sazish hai. Hum Maa-sa ke saath hain, aur humein uski sachai ko saamne laana hoga."
Abhira's heart race, "Papa, yeh sachai ko sabit karke hum Dadi-sa ko insaaf dilayenge."
"Yeh dekho." Madhav showed her a video in his phone.
Abhira looked at it and widened her eyes.
"Papa is mein to saaf saaf dikh raha hai ki hai ki Dadi-sa ki ismein koi galti nahin thi." She said.
Madhav nodded. "Haan beta, yeh video Maa-sa ke maamle mein naye roshni daal sakta hai. Par humein is video ko samajhna aur sahi tareeke se istemal karna hoga. Isko saamne laane se pehle humein aur bhi saboot ikattha karna hoga."
Abhira's eyes sparkled with determination. "Papa, humein is video ko court mein pesh karne se pehle poori tarah se taiyaar hona hoga. Aur humein Dadi-sa ke case ko jeetne ke liye aur bhi saboot aur gawahon ki zarurat hogi."
Madhav smiled at his daughter's wisdom. "Bilkul beta, humein sab kuch sahi tareeke se plan karna hoga. Hum milke Maa-sa ko insaaf dilayenge, lekin sabar aur tayyari se."
Abhira nodded, "Papa, humein jaldi se kaam shuru karna hoga. Hum Dadi-sa ko bacha kar rahenge aur uski sachai ko saamne laayenge."
Madhav placed a reassuring hand on Abhira's shoulder. "Hum milke har mushkil ko paar karenge, beta. Aur hum Dadi-sa ko insaaf dilayenge. Tumhe mujh par vishwas hai na?"
Abhira smiled confidently. "Haan, Papa. Main poora vishwas rakhti hoon ki hum milke yeh case jeetenge
"Mai chalta hu mujhe us bulider aur uske aadmi ko bhi pakadana hai." Madhav said as he kept his phone in his pocket.
"Theek hai Papa." She said while he hugged her and kissed her forehead.
"Yaad rakhna chahe kuch bhi ho jaaye tera ye papa humesha tere saath hai." He said caressing her hairs.
She smiled at him and nodded. She didn't said anything as she was broken from Armaan's words. Madhav left after giving her a reassuring smile.
"Mai kabhi tumhe maaf nahi karungi, Armaan Poddar. Kabhi bhi nahi." She said as a lone tear fell off her eyes.
✨
At night, Abhira completed her work. She took her things and moved out of the office. She started walking on the road with emotionless face. No tears were present in her eyes. She looked pale.
Abhira sat alone on the bench in the quiet garden, tears silently streaming down her face. The only sound was the chirping of crickets, as she replayed Armaan's hurtful words in her mind. She felt broken and betrayed, her emotions raw and her heart heavy with pain.
She didn't knew that she had committed a big mistake by marrying Armaan. She didn't knew she did a mistake by stepping in his house. She didn't knew she made a mistake by interrupting his personal life. She didn't knew that it was her mistake that she loves his family like her own. She didn't knew it was her mistake that she was becoming a burden on Armaan. She didn't know it was a mistake to trust Armaan with her dreams. She didn't know it was a mistake to believe in his promises of support. She didn't know it was a mistake to sacrifice her own happiness for the sake of his family's approval. She didn't know it was a mistake to hope for a future with him. She didn't know it was a mistake to give her heart to someone who never truly cared for her.
Her tears fell down as she remembered his words. How much he had hated her. How much he thinks of her as a cheater and a cheap girl.
"Abhira." Someone said to which she looked up.
There he was, her Par Nanu, who always supported her.
She wiped her tears not wanting to show him her pain as she didn't wanted to give him any health problem or any stress.
"P...Par Nanu.. aap yaha?" She said as he sat down beside her.
"Haan beta, main yahaan. Tujhe yahaan akeli dekhkar mujhe thoda ajeeb laga, isiliye maine socha tujhse milne aajaun." Manish said gently.
Abhira nodded, trying to compose herself. "Kaise hain aap, Par Nanu?"
Manish smiled warmly. "Main theek hoon beta, lekin mujhe lagta hai tu theek nahi lag rahi. Kya baat hai, kuch pareshani hai?"
Abhira shook her head, forcing a small smile. "Nahi, Par Nanu, kuch nahi. Bas thodi exhaustion hai kaam se."
Manish placed his hand on her shoulder, "Beta, main tujhe achhe se jaanta hoon. Tumhe kuch chupaana nahi padega mujhse. Agar kuch pareshani hai, toh mujhe batana."
Abhira looked into his eyes, "Par Nanu, sach mein koi baat nahi hai. Aur mai bhi theek hoon. Aap chinta mat kijiye."
Manish's expression softened as he leaned closer to her. "Beta, tu mujhse kuch bhi chhupa nahi sakti. Main hamesha tera saath dunga, chahe jo bhi ho."
Abhira felt a surge of warmth at his words, "Par Nanu, aap mere liye itne achhe hain. Main nahi chahti ki aapko meri wajah se koi takleef ho."
Manish placed a comforting arm around her. "Beta, teri khushi meri khushi hai. Aur agar tu pareshan hai, toh main tujhe har halat mein samjhaunga aur saath dunga. Tu mujhe bata, kya baat hai?"
Abhira looked at him and started crying while Manish hugged her, caressing her hairs.
"Shhhhh.....nahi bacche, ese nahi rote. Shhhh....." He consoled her while caressing her hairs.
"Pa....Par nanu, kya mai itni bur.....buri hu ki koi muj...mujhse pyaar nahi karta?" Abhira asked still sobbing hard.
"Nahi. Meri Abhira toh sabse aachi hai. Sabse best hai. Voh bilkul bhi buri nahi hai. Sabse pyaar karti hai. Aur yeh duniya bhi Abhira se bohot pyaar karti hai." Manish said patting her head.
"Toh phir mai jise apna maanti hu voh mujhse pyaar kyu nahi karte hai Par Nanu? Kyu voh mujh pe bharosa nahi kar sakte hai?" She asked breaking the hug and looking at him.
"Abhira beta, kabhi kabhi logon ka dil aur unke soch alag hoti hai. Par yeh zaroori nahi hai ki tum uski wajah se hi achi ho. Tum bilkul bhi buri nahi ho, tumne kabhi kisi ko bura nahi kiya. Aur tumhare liye jo sahi hai, voh sahi hai. Bas kuch logon ko samajhne mein samay lagta hai." Manish explained gently.
"Par Nanu, mujhe lagta hai ki maine unke liye bahut kuch kiya hai. Maine unki family ko apna maan liya tha. Maine unki madad ki thi. Fir bhi voh mujhe samajh nahi paaye." Abhira said with tears in her eyes.
"Abhira beta, tumne jo bhi kiya, voh tumhare dil se kiya tha. Tumne unhein apna samjha aur unki madad ki. Par kabhi kabhi logon ka dil aur unka nazariya badal jaata hai. Shayad unhein samajhne mein waqt lag raha hai. Par yeh mat bhoolo ki tumne jo kiya, voh sahi tha." Manish reassured her.
Abhira nodded, finding some solace in her Par Nanu's words. "Par Nanu, mujhe lagta hai ki main unke liye kabhi bhi kuch nahi kar paungi. Shayad maine galat faisla liya hai."
Manish hugged her again, comforting her. "Beta, kabhi kabhi zindagi mein aise mod aate hain jab humein lage ki sab kuch haar gaya hai. Lekin tumhe himmat se saamna karna hoga. Tum bahut majboot ho, aur main jaanta hoon ki tum yeh mushkil bhi paar kar logi. Tumne hamesha himmat dikhayi hai, aur aaj bhi dikhayogi."
"Himmat nahi hai mujh mein ab, Par Nanu. Thak gayi hai yeh Abhira Poddar Parivaar se lad lad ke. Thak gayi hu mai unke taane sun sun ke. Ab aur nahi saha jaata mujhse Par Nanu." Abhira said while sobbing.
"Jaante hai aap, aaj meri koi galati nahi thi lekin phir bhi sara dosh mujh par aa gaya. Mai toh bas Ghar par meri file lene gayi thi. Lekin badkismati se meri aur Armaan ki file ka colour same tha. Aur mujhe laga ki voh meri file isiliye maine bas use khol kar padha. Mai voh file vaapis rakhne hi vaali thi itne mein Armaan aa gaya aur use laga ki mai uski file chori kar rahi hu. Lekin uski file toh already kisi aur ne chura Li hai. Aur voh file jo galati se maine apni file samajh kar li thi voh toh bas isi case ki duplicate file thi." Abhira said
Manish listened to Abhira's words with a heavy heart, his own eyes clouded with tears. He held her hands gently, offering his support.
"Abhira beta, main jaanta hoon ki yeh sab bohot mushkil hai tumhare liye. Par tumhe himmat nahi haarna chahiye. Tumne jo kiya, voh sahi tha. Aur agar Armaan ya koi aur tumhe galat samajh rahe hain, toh yeh unki samajh ki kami hai, nahi tumhari."
Abhira nodded, tears still flowing down her cheeks. "Par Nanu, mujhe lagta hai ki main unke liye kabhi bhi kuch nahi kar paayi. Itni kuch kiya maine uski family ke liye. Humesha uspe bharosa kiya. Lekin usne kabhi mera bharosa nahi kiya."
"Pata hai usne kya kaha mujhse. Voh keh raha tha ki use sharam aati hai mujhe apni patni kehne mein. Agar mumma yaha hoti na toh unhe bhi sharam aati mujhe apni beti kehne mein. Esa keh raha tha voh. Lekin baat toh yeh hai ki Mumma esa kabhi nahi kehti. Kyuki unhe apni beti apni Abhira par pura bharosa hai. Voh meri baat samjhati. Kabhi is tarah mujh par ilzaam nahi lagaati voh. Humesha bharosa karti voh mujh pe. Armaan kabhi mujh par bharosa nahi karta hai. Voh jaanta hai ki jab sach baahar aata hai toh humesha aakhir mein voh galat hota hai. Aur phir maafi maangne aa jaata hai mujhse." Abhira said shooking her head.
Manish listened attentively, "Beta, har rishta do tarfa hota hai. Tumne apna sab kuch diya, lekin kabhi kabhi samne wala shayad samajh nahi paata. Par yeh unka kasoor nahi hai, samjhi? Tumne jo kiya, voh tumhare imandari aur prem ka prateek tha."
"Par Nanu, mai koi khilona nahi hu jo aaj pasand nahi toh phek diya aur kal uski yaad aa gayi yaa uski jarurat pad gayi toh vaapis apne pass rakh liya. Mai insaan hu. Mere andar bhi dil hai. Aur is dil ko bahut dard hota hai ab Par Nanu." Abhira said crying hard.
Manish placed a gentle hand on Abhira's shoulder, "Beta, main samajh sakta hoon ki tumhare dil ko kitna dard ho raha hai. Tum ek insaan ho, aur tumhara dard bilkul sahi hai. Par yeh sab kuch samajhne ke liye waqt lag sakta hai. Aur Armaan ko bhi shayad samajhne mein samay lagega."
"Par Nanu, mujhe lagta hai ki Armaan kabhi nahi samjhega. Uska dil itna sakht hai ki voh kabhi bhi mera bharosa nahi karega." Abhira said angrily.
Manish shook his head in disbelief, "Yeh kaise ho sakta hai, beta? Tumne itna kuch kiya uske liye, uske parivaar ke liye, uska saath diya, aur phir bhi voh tum par bharosa nahi karta?"
Abhira wiped her tears, "Haan, Par Nanu. Mujhe bhi yahi samajh nahi aata ki kaise voh mujh par bharosa nahi kar sakte. Mai hamesha uske saath khadi rahe, unki har mushkil mein madad ki. Lekin ab mujhe lagta hai ki use meri koi parwah hi nahi hai."
Manish's eyes flashed with anger. "Yeh galat hai, beta. Ek pati ko apni patni par bharosa karna chahiye. Aur agar Armaan samajh nahi raha hai, toh shayad usse samjhana padega. Lekin tum himmat mat haarna, Abhira. Hum milke is mushkil ko paar karenge."
Abhira shook her head in no, "Use samjhane ki koi jarurat nahi hai. Voh kabhi nahi samjhega. Aur nahi main use samjhana chahti hun. Rishte bharose se bante hai Par Nanu. Aur mera bharosa ek baar nahi baar baar tuta hai. Jitni baar maine Armaan ko maaf kiya hai utni baar phir usne dil toda hai mera. Lekin ab aur nahi. Mai vaise hi us par bojh ban rahi hu. Use koi farak nahi padta ki mai kya chahti hu aur kya nahi. Us par aur uske parivaar par bojh nahi banana chahti mai ab. Usne saaf saaf keh diya hai ki jaise hi ek saal khatam hoga. Humara rishta bhi us ek saal baad khatam ho jaaega. Aur vaise bhi humne shaadi ke vakt decide kar hi diya tha ki mai uski zindagi se chali jaaungi jaise hi mai ek acchi job mein apna career banungi. Aur lagta hai ab voh time aa gaya hai ki mai Armaan ko hamare is jabardasti ke rishte se free kar dun. Jo insaan meri mumma ko mere papa ki parvarish par sawal uthaye us insaan ke saath apni zindagi ka ek second nahi bita sakti hu mai."
"Abhira beta, main tumhare saath hoon, har kadam par. Tumne jo faisla liya hai, voh bilkul sahi hai. Tumhe apne liye ek happy life jeeni chahiye, jisme tumhara dil sukoon se dhadak sake. Aur agar Armaan tumhe yeh sukoon nahi de sakta, toh tumhe uss rishte mein rehne ki koi jarurat nahi hai." Manish said caressing her hairs.
"Haa Par Nanu, mere liye meri self respect sabse badi hai. Meri self respect ke aage kuch bhi important nahi hai. Meri mumma ne hi sikhaya hai mujhe ki chahe kuch bhi ho jaaye apni self respect se badhkar aur kuch bhi nahi hona chahiye. Meri mumma ne bhi esi situation face ki thi Par Nanu. Voh bhi akeli ho gayi thi ek baar ke liye." Abhira said.
Manish looked at her. He remembered his granddaughter, Akshara who had faced a situation in which Abhimanyu didn't trusted her and divorced her.
"Vaise tumhari mumma ka naam kya hai?" Manish asked.
"Akshara, Akshara Sharma." Abhira said making him shock.
He looked at her with wide eyes. Manish's eyes welled up as memories of his beloved granddaughter flooded his mind. Akshara, his shining star, who faced similar trials of mistrust and heartache.
"Ak...Akshara?" He asked.
"Haa. Akshara Sharma. My mumma, my inspiration, my everything. Voh bhi ek lawyer thi. Bohot pyaar karti thi voh mujhse. Humesha muskilon se ladna sikhati thi." Abhira smiled remembering her mother.
"Akshara... Meri pyaari Akshara... meri Akshu." Manish started weeping clutching his chest.
"Par Nanu, aap thik toh hai na? Kyun ro rahe ho aap?" Abhira said holding his shoulder and rubbing his back.
Manish looked at her who was almost panicking. He realised that she is his grand grand daughter. Abhira is his grand grand daughter like Ruhi.
"Ab...Abhira, mer....meri Aksh....Akshu ki beti....Abhira...." Manish cupped her face and caressed her hairs.
While Abhira was confused listening him. How did he knew about Akshara.
"Aa...Aap meri mumma ko jaan....jaante hai Par Nanu." Abhira asked.
"Haan b...beta, mai tumhari mumma ko jaanta tha... Akshara meri poti thi.... meri Naira ki beti. Meri poti. Mera sab kuch thi voh. Sabse pyaari thi pure Ghar mein." Manish said
Abhira's eyes widened in shock as she struggled to comprehend the revelation. "Par Nanu, yeh... yeh kaise ho sakta hai? Aap... aap meri mumma ko jaante ho?"
"Haa beta.....ma.....mai jaanta hu. Par muj...mujhe nahi pata tha ki ......tum vahi.....meri Aks...Akshu ki beti ho. Aur ....tum....tumne bhi kabhi mujhe bataya hi nahi apni mumma ke baare mein." Manish said.
"Par Nanu, mujhe pata nahi tha ki aap meri mumma ko jaante hain. Mai... maine kabhi socha bhi nahi tha ki humara rishta itna gehra hai." Abhira's voice trembled as tears welled up in her eyes.
Manish reached out and gently wiped her tears away, "Beta, mujhe bhi yeh sab kuch jaankar bahut afsos hai ki maine ka...kabhi tumse pucha kyu na...nahi."
Manish took a moment to compose himself before speaking again, "Beta, main jaanta hoon ki yeh sab kuch sunne ke baad tumhare dil mein bahut saari sawaal honge. Main tumhe kabhi nahi jaanta tha, lekin ab mujhe bahut khushi hai ki humara rishta saamne aaya hai."
After a seconds of pause, "Abhira aaj jab mujhe pata chal hi gaya hai ki tum mer....meri Akshu ki beti ho toh mai tumhe kuch aur bhi baate batana chahta hu." Manish continued.
Abhira nodded with tears. Manish held Abhira's hand and caressed it.
"Ruhi tumhari behen hai Abhira." Manish said.
Abhira's eyes widened in shock. Abhira was stunned, her mind struggling to process the revelation. Learning that she was Manish's granddaughter and Ruhi's sister left her speechless.
Ruhi is her sister, the one who loves her husband is her sister. The one who never supported her and always came between Abhira and Armaan was her sister. Ruhi is Abhira's sister, whe Armaan, Abhira's husband loves.
"Ru...Ruhi mer...meri behen hai?" She asked.
"Haa voh tumhari behen hai. Tumhari mumma ki behen, Aarohi Birla ki beti." Manisha said.
Abhira's heart felt heavy "Par Nanu, yeh... yeh kaise ho sakta hai? Ruhi... Ruhi hamesha mere aur Armaan ke beech aayi thi. Aur ab pata chala ki voh meri hi behen hai?" Her voice quivered with a mixture of shock, betrayal, and confusion.
"Kya? Voh tumhare aur Armaan ke beech mein aayi hai? Kya kehna chahti ho tum?" Manish asked being confused.
"Haa Par Nanu, Ruhi humesha mere aur Armaan ke beech mein aayi. Kyuki voh aur Armaan ek dusre se pyaar karte hai." Abhira said making Manish shocked.
Manish's brows furrowed. "Kya? Ruhi aur Armaan ek dusre se pyaar karte hain?"
Abhira nodded, "Haan, Par Nanu. Voh dono apne pyaar ko dosti ke tag ke peeche chupaate aaye hai. Maine kal khud apne kaano se suna hai. Aur Ruhi ne bhi kaha hai voh dono ek dusre se pyaar karte hai."
"Par Rohit. Ruhi ki shaadi toh humne Rohit se karvayi hai." Manish said.
"Ruhi ne shaadi isliye ki hai taaki voh Armaan ke kareeb reh sake. Rohit bhaiya ko bhi shayad un dono ke rishte ke baare mein pata chal gaya hoga isiliye voh Ghar chod kar chale gaye. Maine kabhi nahi socha tha ki meri behen Ruhi hogi. Mumma se Aarohi Masi ke baare mein suna tha. Voh bohot acchi thi lekin Ruhi vo humesha mujhe yeh feel karvati rahi ki mai Poddar House mein kitni unwanted hu." Abhira said
"Aarohi ki be....beti esi niklegi maine kabhi nahi socha tha. Swarna ko bhi pata hoga Armaan aur Ruhi ke baare mein lekin usne bhi mujhe kuch nahi bataya." Manish said.
"Par Nanu, mai khush hu yeh jaaan kar ki Ruhi meri behen hai. Kabhi kabhi usne mera saath aur meri fikar ki hai lekin ab shayad voh mujhe aur Armaan ko saath dekh kar frustrated ho chuki thi. Isiliye ab nafrat karne lagi hai voh mujhse. Bina kisi hichkichat ke usne keh soya ki Armaan usse pyaar karte hai. Aur voh chahti hai ki mai un dono ke beech se hat jaau." Abhira said.
"Aarohi Masi jaroor hi bohot aachi hogi. Par Ruhi ne kabhi esi vibes di ho nahi ki ek pal ke liye mujhe esa lage ki voh meri behen hai. Us Ghar mein Ruhi se agar koi galati to koi use kuch nahin kahega lekin agar mujhse koi chhoti si bhi galti ho jaaye to pura tane maar maar ke mera jeena haram kar denge. Humesha Poddar's ke liye unki Bahu toh sirf Ruhi rahi hai. Mai toh kuch thi hi nahi. Akele baith kar khaana khaati thi kamre mein. Kabhi sabke saath baith ek vakt ka khaana bhi nahi khaya hai. Itna bada parivaar hote huye bhi us Ghar mein khudko akela mehsus karti thi. Kyu? Kyuki unke liye mai ek middle class ladki thi. Mere pass bada Ghar nahi tha, family nahi thi. Jabki Ruhi, uske pass sab tha. Esa dekha gaya hai us Ghar mein mujhe Par Nanu." Abhira said.
"Ab tum akeli nahi ho. Tumhare pass tumhara parivaar hai. Mai hu tumhare saath. Aur tumhe pata hai tumhara ek bhai bhi tha. Akshara aur Abhimanyu ke beta, Abhir." Manish said with a smile.
"Ab... Abhimanyu , Abhir.... yeh sab kon hai?" She asked being shocked
"Abhimanyu tumhari mumma, Akshara ke pehla pati hai. Aur Abhir Akshu aur Abhimanyu ka beta hai." He said.
"Kya? Me...mera bha....bhai bhi ha...hai?" She said with tears.
"Hai nahi, tha. Ab voh aur tumhare Abhimanyu papa nahi rahe." Manish said being sad.
"Kya? Yeh....yeh sab..... Mujhe please sab pe...pehle se bataiye." Abhira requested him.
Manish nodded and told Abhira everything about Aarohi's love for Abhimanyu, Akshar and Abhimanyu's love for each other, their marriage, problems in their married life, about Neil and Aarohi, How everyone blamed Akshara for Neil's death, how Abhimanyu threw her out of his house, how she met Abhinav, how she and Abhinav took care of Abhir, how she and Abhinav met Abhimanyu again, how Abhimanyu regretted his decision of seperating himself from Akshara, how Akshara was blamed for Aarohi's death, and lastly Abhira being Akshara and Abhinav's daughter.
He told everything to Abhira. While Abhira listened to it attentively with tears flowing down her eyes realising how much her mumma had faced till now.
Abhira sat there, absorbing the weight of the revelations about her family's tumultuous past. Tears continued to stream down her face as she processed the information.
"Aap sa...sabne me...meri mumma par shak kiya? Es...esa kaise kar sakte hai aap? Par Nanu, yeh sab kaise ho gaya? Mumma ne mujhe kabhi kuch nahi bataya. Mujhe kyun nahi pata tha ki yeh sab mere parivaar ka hissa hai?" Abhira's voice trembled.
Manish sighed heavily, "Beta, uspe shak karna humari zindagi ki sabse badi galati thi. Aaj bhi us galati ke liye mai khud ko maaf nahi kar paa raha hu. Shayad Akshara ne tumhe is sabke baare mein nahi bataya kyunki voh chahti thi ki tum apne zindagi mein khush raho, bina unke dukh aur dard ke."
Abhira wiped her tears, "Par Nanu, mujhe yeh sab jaanke bhi ab tak khushi nahi mili. Mujhe bas sachai chahiye thi, meri sachai. Kyun chhupaya mujhse yeh sab?"
Manish placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Beta, kabhi kabhi hum apno ko bachane ke liye unhein sachai se door rakhte hain, soch kar ki unhein dukh nahi pohochega. Shayad Akshara ne bhi wahi socha hoga."
Abhira nodded, "Par ab mujhe yeh jaanke acha laga ki mere paas ek parivaar hai. Aur ab mujhe Ruhi ke baare mein bhi samajh aaya hai. Voh bhi toh sirf apne pyaar ke liye ladh rahi hai, jaise mumma ne kiya tha."
Manish smiled warmly "Beta, sachai ko jaan kar chalna acha hai. Ab tum apne rishton ko aur bhi gehraai se samajh paogi."
"Par Nanu, ab mujhe samajh aa gaya hai ki mujhe kya karna hai. Apni life khushi se jeeni hai. Bina kisi par bojh bane. Mai kisi aur ke bich nahin aana chahti. Armaan aur Ruhi pyaar karte hai ek dusre se. Aur jo Armaan ne mere saath kiya hai. Mujh par bharosa nahi kiya hai uske liye mai kabhi use maaf nahi karungi. Ruhi ne jo bhi kiya hai mere saath apne pyaar ke liye uske liye bhi mai Ruhi ko kabhi maaf nahi kar paaungi. Mere liye meri self respect se badhkar aur kuchh bhi nahin hai Par Nanu." Abhira said with tears.
"Tune jo bhi faisla liya hai uske liye main tere sath hun
Agar tu Armaan ke sath nahin rahana chahti to Tum hamare sath aa jaa." Manish said.
Nahin Par Nanu. Mai aapke sath nahin aaungi. Mai ab sabse dur jana chahti hun. Kisi ki nazron mein nahin aana chahti hu kyuki agar Armaan ko jab pata chalega ki meri koi galati nahi thi toh voh mere pass mafi mangne aaega. Aur mai ise maaf nahi karna chahti. Nafrat karti hu mai Armaan se. Nafrat karti hu uske parivaar se. Kisi ne saath nahi diya jab mujhe unko jarurat thi. Aur mai itni selfish nahin hun ki itni badi bada parivar pane ki khushi mein un logon ko maaf kar du jin logon ne kabhi mera bharosa nahin kiya, jin logon ne kabhi mera sath nahin diya." Abhira said wiping her tears harshly.
"Nahi tu mere saath mere Ghar chal rahi hai abhi." Manish said holding her hand and making her stand.
"Nahin Par Nanu please samajhne ki koshish kijiye main nahin aa sakti aapke sath." Abhira said.
Manish gently insisted, "Beta, main samajh sakta hoon tumhara faisla, lekin tum mere saath mere ghar chal rahi ho. Tumhe jarurat hai humari aur main tumhe akela nahi chhod sakta."
Abhira shook her head, tears welling up in her eyes once again, "Par Nanu please samajhne ki koshish kijiye please main nahin aa sakti aapke saath. Main Armaan ka samna fir se nahin kar paungi please."
Manish sighed but nodded positively, "Theek hai jaisa tujhe theek lage. Par mujhse contact karti rehna. Itne salon baad meri Akshu ki beti mujhe mili hai lekin fir bhi main uske sath waqt nahin bita sakta hu."
"Don't worry Par Nanu mai aapko contact karti rahungi. Filhaal ke liye aap ghar jaaiye. Mai bhi apni ek friend ke ghar jaa rahi hu."Abhira said.
Manish nodded silently and went from there after kissing her forehead. Abhira too wiped her tears and started moving out of the garden slowly.
