"Abhira......." Manish shouted as he entered the House.
Everyone looked at him in shock. Ruhi who was already shocked seeing Armaan's broken state for Abhira got more shocked seeing her B Nanu too came there for Abhira.
"B Nanu." She whispered to herself as tears fell down her eyes.
Manish came inside while stumbling but Swarna held her.
"Abh...Abhira.... Kaha ho tu...tum. De...Dekho tum....tumhare Par Na...Nanu tumse miln....milne aay....aaye hai." Manish shouted looking around the house.
He went towards Madhav and held his shoulders.
"Aap.... aap gay.....gaye the na us....use dhundhne.....Kaha hai voh? Bata....bataiye na kaha hai voh Madh.... Madhav ji?" He asked.
Manish's eyes scanned the room until they fell upon Armaan, who was still on the floor, lost in his grief. With a heavy heart, he made his way over to him.
"Armaan," Manish said softly as he knelt down in front of him, "Armaan, beta, kaha hai Abhira? Tu....tumne use dekha hai? Kam...kamre me...mein hai kya voh?"
But Armaan was consumed by his sorrow, his cries drowning out Manish's words. He couldn't even bring himself to look up, his heart shattered into a million pieces.
"Ko...koi kuch bol kyu na...nahi raha hai? Kaha ha....hai Abhira? Ba....bataiye na ka...kaha hai voh?" He again asked looking at everyone.
Manish's heart sank as he looked around the room, hoping for any sign of Abhira's presence. But the silence only echoed his fears.
"Koi... koi kuch bol kyu nahi raha hai?" Manish's voice trembled with desperation. "Kaha hai Abhira? Bataiye na kaha hai voh?"
Madhav's eyes filled with tears as he stepped forward, his voice choked with emotion. "Manish ji, humne... humne sab kuch kiya, lekin... lekin Abhira..."
But before Madhav could finish his sentence, Armaan's anguished cry filled the room. "Nahi... no, voh... voh zinda hai. Mujhe mehsoos hota hai. Mujhe... mujhe use dhoondhna hai."
Manish looked at him in shock.
"Ye....yeh kya keh...keh rahe ho.....tu...tum, Armaan? Zin...zinda hai se k....kya matlab hai tumhara? Kaha hai Abhira?" He shouted angrily.
"Manish ji..... Abh....Abhira ka accident ho ga....gaya tha jis...jiski vajah se voh ge...gehri khaai mein gir gayi aur sabne us....use dhundhne ki koshish ki par voh na...nahi mili..... Sab....sabka kehna hai ki ab voh.....voh is dun...duniya mein, humare beech na....nahi rahi......" Manoj said with his trembling voice.
Manish's hands trembled with disbelief as he heard Manoj's words. "Nahi... na....nahi, yeh... yeh kaise ho sakta hai? Abhira... Abhira humare saath thi... voh kaise..."
Tears welled up in his eyes, his heart torn apart by the news of Abhira's fate.
"A....aap ye.....yeh kya keh raha hai?" Manish's voice quivered with emotion. "Abhira... voh kaise."
Manoj's own eyes filled with tears "Manish ji, yeh sachai hai... hum sabne uska intezaar kiya, lekin... lekin Abhira humare beech nahi hai."
Manish's hands clenched into fists as he struggled to accept the truth. "Nahi... no, yeh jhoot hai... Abhira zinda hai... voh... voh mere pass aayegi."
But deep down, he knew that no amount of denial could change what had happened. Abhira was gone, and the pain of her loss threatened to engulf him entirely.
"Manish ji, humein sachai ko samajhna hoga," Swarna softly said, placing a hand on his shoulder. "Abhira humare beech nahi hai."
Swarna looked a little angry as Manish was caring for a girl who was not even their family. Whom they don't even know properly.
Ruhi who was looking at him till now couldn't stop herself from going near him.
She kept her hand on his shoulder. Manish turned and looked at her but again averted her gaze from her.
"B Nanu. Aa....aap please itna stress ma....mat lijiye..... aapki tab.... tabiyat kharab ho jayegi." She said.
"Dur raho mujhse." The words came out of his mouth making Swarna, Ruhi and others shocked.
Ruhi looked at him in shock. She widened her eyes and looked at Swarna who was shocked too.
"B...na...nanu...." She couldn't complete as Manish stopped her in between.
"Nahi h...hu mai tera... B nanu.... koi hak nahi hai tera mujh...mujhe B Nanu bulane ka." He said looking at her with red teary eyes.
"Ye....yeh aap k...kya keh rah....rahe hai B Nanu?" She asked.
"Bilkul sa....sahi keh raha hu... Aur mer....meri nazaro ke saamne se hat jaao..... tumhari shakal bhi.....bhi nahi dekhna chahta hu ma...mai." Manish said not looking at her.
Ruhi's heart sank as she heard Manish's words, her eyes brimming with tears at the pain and rejection in his voice. She couldn't comprehend why he was pushing her away, why he was shutting her out in his time of need.
"B Nanu, aap aise kyu keh rahe hai? Mai toh bas aapka saath dene aayi hu. Aapko support karne. Aapke dard mein mere liye bhi bahut takleef hai." Her voice quivered.
"Yeh sab us Abhira ki....ki vajah se ho raha hai... Jaroor usi ne aa....apke kaam bhare honge." Ruhi continued with tears.
"Bas" He stood up and shouted at her.
"Ruhi, tum samajh nahi sakti. Tumhein kuch nahi pata Abhira ke bare mein. Tum bas... bas apne raste se hat jao. Mujhe tumhara saath nahi chahiye." His voice was filled with bitterness.
"Tu ......tum sach mein selfish hot...hoti jaa rahi ho." He said.
"B Nan....Nanu aap ese kyu keh rahe hai. Kya galati hai meri? Kyu mujhse ese baat kar rahe hai?" She asked with tears.
"Gala...galati janani hai na tumhe apni?" He asked to which she nodded.
"To theek hai, Suno. Tumhari pehli galati, Aarohi ka accident Akshu ki vajah se nahi balki teri vajah se hua tha. Teri dusri galati tune Akshu ko blame kiya Aarohi ke accident ke liye, teri teesri galati tune Armaan se pyaar kiya. Teri chauthi galati tune Rohit ko dhokha diya. Teri paanchvi galati tune humesha apni galatiyo ka blame Abhira per daal diya, Teri chathi galati, tum humesha Armaan aur Abhira ke beech aayi, Teri saatvi galati tune humesha Armaan ko yeh yaad dilaya ki Armaan aur Abhira ki shaadi sirf ek contract hai aur humesha un dono ko alag karne ki koshish ki." Manish said making Ruhi shock.
The Poddar Family looked at him in shock with the revelation about Armaan And Ruhi's Love. They looked at Armaan who was not listening to anyone.
"Yeh....yeh aap kya keh rahe hai Manis....Manish ji" Kaveri asked being shocked.
"Haan, Kaveri ji, yeh sach hai," Manish interjected, his voice heavy with emotion. "Ruhi ne hamesha hamare parivaar ko takleef mein daalne ki koshish ki hai.
"Ma....Manish ji aap ese kyu baat kar rahe hai? Ruhi aapki po...poti hai." Swarna said angrily.
"Toh Abhira bhi meri poti hai. Meri Akshu ki beti hai." Manish shouted angrily making everyone shock.
Ruhi looked at him in shock. Tear fell down her eyes listening about Abhira being her Akshara Maasi's daughter.
"Ye....yeh aap.....kya keh rahe hai?" She asked with tears.
"Mai bilkul sah....sahi keh raha hu.... Abhira, Akshu ki beti hai. Teri behen hai voh. Akshu ki koi galati nahi thi. Aarohi ki maut teri galati ki vajah se hui thi. Voh toh tere liye usne saara blame khud par le liya. Taaki tujhe aage jaa kar kisi ke taane naa sunane pade." Manish said.
"Bachapan se tu...tujhe jo chahiye tha voh tujhe diya. Aur yeh hi humari sabse badi galati thi. Agar bachpan mein teri saari icchaye puri naa ki hoti na toh aaj tu Armaan aur Abhira ke beech naa aati." Manish said.
"Armaan......" Kaveri shouted at him angrily who was not listening to anyone.
He looked up at her with red eyes.
"Ye...yeh sab kya hai? Tu...tum Ruhi se pyaa....pyaar karte ho?" She asked.
"Armaan please haa kardo. Please keh do ki tum bhi mujhse pya... pyaar karte ho?" Ruhi said in her mind looking at Armaan with hope.
Armaan looked at them confusedly, "Ye...yeh aap kya keh rah...rahi hai? Aur...aur yeh k...koi vakt hai hai ye....yeh sab puchne ka? Me...meri Abhira me....mere pass nahi hai aur aao yeh kais....kaise bakwas kar rahi hai?"
"Bakwas?" Ruhi whispered to herself.
"Humare sawal ka jawab do Armaan." Kaveri said in a stern voice.
"Main pahle Ruhi se pyar karta tha lekin ab, ab mera rishta sirf Abhira ke sath hai. Mai Ruhi se pyar nahin karta. Infact maine kabhi usse pyar kiya hi nahi. Vah sab kuchh jo tha voh sirf attraction tha. Mai Ruhi se attract hua tha jise main pyar samajh baitha." Armaan said breaking Ruhi's heart.
"Mere liye ab voh sab koi maayne nahi rakhta. Meri galati thi ki maine har baar Ruhi ka saath diya. Apni family ke haatho manipulate ho gaya." Armaan said.
Everyone looked at him in shock.
"Tere hi haatho se tune apno ko khud se dur kar diya, Ruhi. Apne hi haatho se tune apni Akshara Masi ko, apni mumma ko, Rohit ko aur aaj Abhira ko bhi dur kar diya." Manish said.
"Aap Ak...Akshara mam ko jaante hai?" Armaan asked being shocked.
"Haa, voh meri poti hai. Mere Kartik aur Naira ki beti." Manish said.
"Mat....matlab Abhira, Ruhi ki behen h....hai." Armaan asked again to which he nodded.
"Mai Aaj aap sabse sab clear kar dena chahta hu. Haa mai Ruhi se pehle mila tha. Isse attract bhi hua tha aur mujhe laga tha ki voh attraction pyaar hai lekin voh sirf attraction tha. Lekin phir meri shaadi Abhira se huyi. Haa meri shaadi Abhira se bas ek saal ka contract thi lekin kab us shaadi ko apnane laga mujhe pata hi nahi chala. Maine kai baar Ruhi ko samjhane ki koshish ki, ki mere dil ab uske liye koi feelings nahi hai par usne meri ek nahi suni. Voh kehte hai apni galatiyo ki saza hume isi janam mein mil jaati hai. Aur mujhe bhi mil gayi. Maine Abh...Abhira pe bharosa nahi kiya toh voh mu...mujhe humesha ke liye chod kar chali gayi. Mai Akshara mam ko diya hua vaad....vaada nahi nibha Paya. Meri vajah se Akshara mam ki jaan chali gayi aur meri hi vajah Abhira ki jaan chali gayi. Ma...mai nahi reh paaunga uske bina. Na...nahi reh paaunga. I wa...want her for me....I need her." Armaan said collapsing on floor.
"Ma.....mai jaanta hu voh theek hai..... kuch nahi hua hai use. Mera dil dh....dhadak raha hai ma... matlab voh bhi thee....theek hai. Aa...aap sab maane yaa naa maane ma...mai jaanta hu ki voh th...theek hai." Armaan said and ran from there to his room.
"Ar....Armaan ruko. Armaan......" Vidya shouted.
Ruhi too ran to her room with her broken heart. Vidya sat down on the sofa with this keeping her hands on her forehead crying hard.
"Ye...yeh kya ho ga...gaya hai humare pa...parivaar mein? Ki...kiski nazar lag gay....gayi hai humare khus....khushaal parivaar ko? Sa....sab kuch hum...humari galati ki vaja...vajah se hua hai..... Ab....Abhira..... voh.....voh toh ab hum...hume chod ka...kar chali ga....gayi..... hume maafi maangne ka mau...mauka diye bina yeh yeh duniya, hume, Armaan ko, sabko chod kar ch....chali gayi......"Vidya cried harder.
"Aaj aap sabki vajah se maine Abhira ko kho diya. Apni Akshu ki aakhiri nishaani ko kho diya. Sirf bharosa maanga tha usne aapse. Aur aap vo....voh bhi nahi de paaye. Uska khayal bhi nahi rakh paaye. Ese akele chod diya raat ko use." Manish said to them angrily.
"Hu....hume nahi pata tha ki voh raat ko gh....ghar chod kar chal....chali jayegi." Madhav said.
"Nahi pata tha aap sabko, Haa, Nahi pata tha. Agar us par bharosa kiya hota na toh use ghar chodne ki jarurat hi nahi padti. Kitna kuch kiya aap sabke liye usne. Aap sab khush ho kar breakfast lunch aur dinner kar sako uske liye voh akeli baith kar kamre mein khaana khaati thi. Vidya ji ko bachane ke liye Yuvraj se shaadi karne ko taiyaar ho gayi thi. Itna kuch kiya usne. Aur Ruhi ne, Ruhi ne kya kiya is ghar ke liye, kya kiya is parivaar ke liye. Kuch nahi. Kabhi kuch nahi kiya. Bas humesha apni galatiyo ka blame Abhira per daal diya. Armaan aur Abhira ke beech aati rahi. Aur aap sabko yeh dikha bhi nahi. Aur dekhega bhi kyu aapki chahiti Bahu aur bete jo hai dono. Rohit ke ghar chod kar jaane ki vajah bhi Armaan aur Ruhi ka rishta hi hogi. Use pata chal gaya hoga tabhi voh yeh ghar chod kar chala gaya. Bechare par kya beeti hogi yeh jaan kar ki uski apni patni uske apne bhai se pyaar karti hai. Sharam aati hai aaj, sharam aati hai yeh kehte huye ki Ruhi meri poti hai. Aur garv hota hai yeh kehte huye ki Abhira meri poti hai, meri Akshu ki beti." Manish said angrily.
Everyone were drowned in the pool of guilt.
"Manish ji, hum sach mein galati se bhari zindagi guzar rahe the. Humne Abhira ka samman nahi kiya, uska saath nahi diya. Humari galati thi ki humne uska bharosa nahi kiya." Kaveri said with tears.
"Abh...abhi galati ka ehsaas hone se kya fayda hai. Kya karenge apne is ehsaas ka. Jaa kar chulu bhar paani mein doob mariye. Kush hoiye. Party kariye. Abhira ka jaane ki khushiyan manaiye." Manish said angrily with red teary eyes.
"Manish ji, hum samajh sakte hain ki aapko bahut takleef hai," Vidya couldn't complete as Manish interrupted.
"Are aap toh kuch boliye hi mat. Aapki himmat bhi kaise hui Abhira par haath uthane ki. Kon hai aap? Kya rishta hai aapka usse? Saas thi na aap uski? Toh usi rishte ka lihaaz rakh leti. Maa banane ki koshish kyu ki jab Maa ka ek bhi farz nahi nibha sakti. Are sharam aani chahiye aapko. Jis Abhira ne aapke liye itna kuch kiya us par aapne bharosa nahi kiya. Are bharosa nahi kiya toh koi baat nahi. Lekin thappad maara aapne use. Kis haq se aapne us par haath uthaya? Aaj tak kabhi Akshu ne kabhi us par haath nahi uthaya hoga. Toh aap hoti kon hai?" He shouted at her.
Vidya hung her head in shame. The weight of her actions and the pain she had caused Abhira and the family crushed her spirit.
"Manish ji, humein maafi maangni chahiye. Humne galati ki, aur humein iska saza bhi bhugatni chahiye," Kaveri said.
"Maafi? Maafi se kya hoga? Kya maafi se Abhira laut aayegi? Kya maafi se Akshu wapas aa jayegi? Kya maafi se Rohit ko hum wapas laa sakte hain? Nahi, maafi se kuch nahi hoga. Meri Abhira ab kabhi vaapis nahi aayegi. Aap sabne use mujhse cheen liya. Maa....maar diya aapne use. Kaatil hai aa....aap sab meri po....poti ke...kaatil hai." Manish cried falling down on the floor.
"Manish ji, humein maaf kijiye. Humne socha bhi nahi tha ki humari galti itni badi ho jayegi," Kaveri said, her voice trembling with regret.
Manish didn't said anything and stood up. He turned around and left from there with Swarna following him.
Krish spoke up with his voice choked with tears. "Bhabhi... humein bhabhi chod kar chali gayi... Humne toh kabhi socha bhi nahi tha ki aisa kuch hoga. Humne toh unhein hamesha apni behen ki tarah maana tha."
Aaryan, struggling to control his emotions, added, "Bhabhi humein hamesha pyaar karti thi, humare liye kuch bhi kar deti thi. Aur hum... humne uski kadar hi nahi ki. Humne toh bas apne faayde ki sochi, apne ego ke chakkar mein usse dukh diya."
Charu, wiping away her tears, whispered, "Humne bhabhi ko kabhi samjha hi nahi, unki mehnat aur unka pyaar kabhi nahi samjha. Aur aaj humein pachtava ho raha hai ki humne unka saath nahi diya, unka samman nahi kiya. Ye...yeh sab meri galati ki vaja....vajah se hua hai. Main...maine hi Armaan Bhai ki file li thi. Bhabhi toh bas apni file le kar gayi thi."
As soon as Charu uttered those words, everyone looked at her in shock.
"Tu...tumne file l...li thi.....thi Arm....Arm....Armaan ki?" Vid....Vidya asked.
She nodded.
"Ye...yeh kya kiya tune Charu? Teri vajah se Armaan ko laga ki uski file Abhira ne chori ki hai aur usne us par gussa kiya. Hum sab ne uspar bharosa nahi kiya." Kajal said angrily to her.
"S....sorry mumm...mumma" She cried.
Vidya's eyes widened in disbelief as she processed Charu's confession. "Charu, tune Armaan ki file li? Aur phir is vajah se poora ghar beech mein aagaya? Kitni badi galati ki hai tune!"
Kajal's anger flared as she addressed Charu, her voice filled with disappointment. "Charu, tune kya soch kar ye kiya? Teri ye ek chhoti si galati ne poore ghar ko tabahi mein daal diya. Abhira ki jaan chali gayi, aur ab Armaan bhi toot chuka hai. Tune kya socha tha?"
Madhav shook his head in frustration. "Charu, tune hume sabki zindagi ko ulat kar diya hai. Tumne apni choti si galati ki vajah se bada dard diya hai hum sabko."
Kaveri's disappointment was palpable as she spoke to Charu. "Tune hum sabka bharosa toda hai, Charu. Tune humein ghamand mein lekar aisa kiya hai. Ab humein isse sabak lena hoga."
Manisha's voice trembled with anger as she addressed Charu. "Charu, tune sabka vishwas toda hai. Tune hamari parivaar ki khushiyan barbaad kar di. Tujhe apni galatiyon ka ehsaas hai?"
Manoj's eyes bore into Charu with disappointment. "Charu, tune aisa kyun kiya? Tujhe ye samajhna hoga ki teri chhoti si galati ne kitni badi musibat paida ki hai humare parivaar ko."
Charu hung her head in shame, tears streaming down her face as she realized the magnitude of her actions. "Main... maine kuch soch kar nahi kiya, Maa. Mujhse galti ho gayi. Main sach mein bahut pachta rahi hu."
Vidya's heart ached as she looked at Charu. "Charu, tune bahut badi galti ki hai."
"Sorry....." She cried as Manisha hugged her.
"Ar.... Armaan upar akela hai..... Voh kuch galat na....naa karde.... mai upar Jaa kar dekhti hu..." Vidya said and she was about to go upstairs but Madhav stopped her.
"Use akela rehne do.... He needs time. Toot chuka hai. Use akele rehne ka vakt chahiye. Usne Abhira ko kho diya hai. Apne pyaar ko kho diya. Use akela rehne do kuch der ke liye"Madhav said.
