Chapter 38
Happiness and Sorrow are two strong emotions that just numbed a human's brain and that thing happened with Aditya. He was upset and angry with Avni for not trusting him and because of that, he didn't try to contact Avni. Also, he wanted Avni to contact him and try to clarify her side but on the other side, Avni was feeling that why should she clarify herself because when she tried, Aditya didn't give her a chance and she had already told him the truth then why she calls him now. Avni was also angry with Aditya because she thinks, Aditya doesn't truth her and he left her alone to face the humiliation.
It was the time of the morning, Aditya was sleeping in his room on his back. Aditya's sleep got disturbed because of the chirping of the birds and he stirred. Aditya turned his face and forwarded his hand to hug Avni. Aditya moved and tried to touch Avni.
Aditya: Avni. Avni, come close, yaar. Avni.
No answer and how Avni can answer him when she was not there.
Aditya: Avni... tch.
Aditya opened his eyes and tried to see Avni but Avni was not there. Aditya closed his eyes.
Aditya: This Avni must have woken up and gone to the kitchen. This girl.
Aditya groaned and turned. He lay on his back. Aditya opened his eyes and sat on the bed.
Aditya: Aah... my head. Avni...
Aditya scratched his head and ran his hand through his hair. Aditya stopped his hand because reality hit him. Aditya opened his eyes and then he looked around. Aditya felt a sharp pain in his heart. Aditya turned his face to see his phone but his phone was not on the side table. Aditya looked at the other side and his eyes fell on the bed and saw his phone on the bed. Aditya picked up the phone with the hope that maybe Avni had called him. Aditya saw no call from Avni and got disappointed. Aditya saw Avni's picture and caressed it. Aditya got up and got ready. Aditya went office without having breakfast because he was upset with Grandma for humiliating Avni.
On the other side, Avni was sitting in her room and was waiting for Aditya's call. Alka and Indravati came to Avni and sat on the bed.
Alka: Avni, what is this? You have been sitting in the same room since last night. You didn't even come for breakfast in the morning.
Avni looked down.
Alka: Come out, sit with us all. How long will you keep sitting in the room?
Avni: Mama, give me some time, I will be ok.
Alka got worried for Avni. Alka looked at Indravati who blinked her eyes.
Indravati: ok, have a rest and come downstairs when you feel good.
Avni smiled slightly. Alka and Indravati got up and went from there. Avni took her phone and checked whether Aditya called her or not.
Alka and Indravati were looking at Avni. Alka's eyes got moist.
Alka: Maa, I am feeling scared that my daughter will drown in the same darkness again from where Aditya brought her out.
Indravati kept her hand on Alka's shoulder.
Indravati: don't worry, nothing will happen like that. This time, a tiny soul is inside her which will not let to drown in darkness.
Alka looked at Indravati who nodded and Alka nodded looking down and then they looked at Avni who was lost in her thought and then she kept her hand on her belly. Alka got emotional.
On the other side, Aditya was sitting on the chair while resting his head. Aditya took his phone to see whether Avni called him or not. He didn't hear the ring but still he checked.
The whole day, they waited for each other's call. Avni came to the living area and Aarti went to her and held her. Avni smiled and Aarti took her to the family and made her sit. No one went office today and everyone tried to cheer up Avni who smiled slightly. Avni checked her phone from time to time.
Later, Aman and Aarti were sitting in their room and packing their bag. Avni came there and knocked on the door. Aman and Aarti saw Avni and smiled.
Aman: Avni.
Aman got up.
Aman: come.
Avni smiled and came inside.
Aman: sit.
Avni nodded and said yeah.
Avni and Aman sat.
Avni: so, packing the bags.
Aarti smiled.
Aman: yeah, tomorrow, we have to leave.
Avni smiled and nodded. Avni thought and looked at Aman. Avni was hesitating so she thought again.
Avni: Bhai.
Aman: Hmm.
Avni looked at Aman who also looked at her.
Avni: if I ask you for something then will you give it to me?
Aman cupped Avni's face with one hand.
Aman: did it ever happen that you asked me for something and I had not given that to you?
Avni shook her head with tearful eyes. Aarti smiled.
Aman: say, what does my doll want?
Avni was looking at Aman.
It was the time of night, Aditya was laying on the bed and was missing Avni. Aditya closed his eyes. Aditya thought about his and Avni's best moments.
Memories:
1.Aditya saw Avni for the first time.
2.Their engagement where they exchanged rings.
3.Avni gave him a brooch when he was going to Pune.
Avni: this is a small gift for you.
4.Avni and Aditya were standing in Avni's room where Avni passed a gift to him. Avni looked at the gift and she was puzzled. Avni looked at Aditya.
Avni: ab, aa. This is for you. I wanted to confess something but I was puzzled that how I say so I record that on a handy cam.
Aditya frowned with closed eyes and his mind took him somewhere else.
Aditya heard: Before our marriage, I record a message in a han...
Aditya: stop it, Avni.
Aditya opened his eyes and sat on the bed with a jerk.
Aditya: before our marriage, I record a message in a han.... In a handy cam.
Aditya got shocked and caught his head. Aditya remembered that Avni gave him a handy cam and he lost that. Aditya ran his hand through his hair and caught them.
Aditya: before our marriage, Avni gave a handy cam to me and I, I lost that. Avni told me that she want to confess something and she can't tell it face to face so she recorded that... yes, she told me... I even thought that a love confession.
Aditya squeezed his eyes.
Aditya: oh shit...
Aditya opened his eyes and guilt was in his eyes. His eyes got moist.
Aditya: Avni wanted to say something that day also but I, I didn't listen to her... I even left her alone there.
Aditya was now bending under the burden of guilt.
Aditya: Avni wanted my support. She was looking at me with hope and I...
Aditya got angry with himself.
Aditya: I accused her.
Aditya hit his hand on the side table and was in immense anger.
On the other side, Avni was sitting on the bed holding her belly.
Avni: don't worry, baby, what happened if your father left us... Mama is here for you. She is with you, she will give you the love of both mother and father... ok? Hmm?
Avni smiled and then she thought.
Avni: I will raise my baby alone. I will give it the best life. The best of the best. Now, I will live for my baby only.
Avni looked at her belly.
Avni: now, you are my only hope. Now, I will live for you only. Your safety, your happiness, and your wishes will be the reason for my life. I will smile seeing your smile and will forget my every pain, every sorrow. Now, you are my life.
Avni smiled with tearful eyes.
On the other side, Aditya was crying.
Aditya: I broke Avni. I broke her trust. She must be hating me now.
Aditya sighed.
Aditya: and why would she not. I deserve it. I deserve her hatred. I deserve her hatred. I deserve it. I deserve it.
Aditya cried.
It was daytime, a car stopped outside the Rathore mansion and Gaurav got down from the backseat of the car. Gaurav moved to the mansion.
Gaurav entered the Rathore mansion and roared: Aditya Singh Rathore. Come out Aditya Singh Rathore.
Aditya heard that in his room.
Aditya: Dad?
Anjana was in the Kitchen.
Anjana: Gaurav.
Others were in their room. Aditya again heard Gaurav call him.
In the living area, Gaurav was waiting for Aditya. Anjana came from the kitchen. Ambika from her room. Aditya and Arjun came downstairs. Everyone gathered.
Aditya: Dad, what happened?
Gaurav came to Aditya and reward him with a tight slap. Aditya kept his hand and everyone got shocked. Anjana cupped her mouth.
Ambika: Gaurav.
Gaurav: I feel ashamed of calling you my son.
Aditya looked at his father shockingly.
Aditya: but what did I have done, Dad?
Gaurav: still, you have the audacity to ask me what you have done.
Aditya was confused.
Ambika: whatever the matter would be but how can you raise your hand on your young son?
Gaurav: yes, Maa, he is my son. He is my son that's why, I raised my hand on him because I can raise my hand on him but I am your son, what do I say to you? How do I show my anger to you?
Aditya frowned. Anjana looked at Ambika. Ambika and Arjun were confused.
Ambika: now what does it mean?
Gaurav: Where is Avni?
Everyone got shocked except Anjana. Anjana looked down. Gaurav looked at his family and everyone looked down and Ambika looked away. Everyone was surprised how Gaurav got to know when he was not there then everyone looked at Anjana and they got their answers. Ambika glared at Anjana who looked down at her hand while rubbing her palm and then she looked away.
Gaurav: answer me, where is Avni?
Ambika: she is where she should be. At her parents' house.
Gaurav: and why she is there? This is her home so she should be here. Why she is not here?
Aditya looked at Ambika.
Ambika: because she should be there. We don't need a girl like her in our home.
Aditya and Gaurav got angry.
Gaurav: Maa, please.
Ambika: what, please? Hmm, what, please? And I am not getting one thing why are you getting angry? It should be I. It should be Aditya who should get angry.
Aditya looked on.
Ambika: you spoiled his life.
Gaurav was shocked. Gaurav and Ambika looked at each other and others were looking at her.
Ambika: How can you choose a characterless girl like her for him who had affairs with...
Aditya and Gaurav got angry.
Aditya: Avni is not characterless.
Everyone got surprised. Aditya was shaking. He tried to calm himself.
Aditya: Grandma, you are talking about my wife so please, please be careful. I will not tolerate it anymore.
Everyone got angry.
Gaurav: why are you saying this now?
Aditya looked at Gaurav.
Gaurav: You should have said it that day.
Aditya was looking at Gaurav and then he looked down.
Gaurav: why, you all silently heard everything that day. Why you guys just didn't shut the mouth of that lady? Avni is the daughter-in-law of this house how could you let anyone raise a finger at her? How could you guys humiliate her in front of the outsiders? If something was there then you guys could have asked the guests to go and solved that matter privately. What was the need to create that drama and showed a free show to the people?
Gaurav looked at Anjana.
Gaurav: hmm, Anjana.
Arjun: don't say anything to Mom, Dad. She tried a lot but no one listened to her.
Arjun looked at his grandmother who got shocked. Everyone looked at Ambika.
Ambika: wow, just wow, see what that girl has done. She has hollowed our home just like the termites.
Aditya looked down and then he looked away. Gaurav also looked left and right.
Ambika: and Gaurav, you are responsible for it. Just for the sake of your friendship, you fixed Adi's alliance with that girl without any investigation. You...
Gaurav: Maa, Avni has not done anything. She is innocent.
Ambika: Innocent? We got to know now how innocent she is. She was caught with her friends in...
Gaurav: she was trapped.
Aditya and others got shocked.
Ambika: trapped?
Aditya thought.
Gaurav: yes, trapped.
Ambika: how do you know?
Gaurav: because I was there. I am the eye-witnessed.
Everyone got shocked.
Gaurav: I don't know if you guys remember or not but almost six, seven years ago, I went to Dehli in a hurry.
They tried to think.
Gaurav: I went there for Avni because Amar called me.
Anjana: but you never shared with us what had happened?
Gaurav: because I promised Amar that I will never talk about it with anyone. I will keep it to myself.
Ambika got shocked.
Ambika: but why Avni lied that she told Adi about it?
Aditya: she didn't lie. She told me.
Everyone got shocked.
Ambika: what?
Aditya: yes, she told me even she tried to remind me that day also but I didn't give her a chance.
Tears formed in Aditya's eyes. Aditya caught his hair.
Ambika: if she told you then why you said that she is lying?
Aditya: Because I am an idiot... before our marriage, Avni gave me a handy cam and she recorded the truth in it.
Everyone got shocked.
Aditya: but, I lost that.
Another shock for the family. Ambika felt guilty.
Aditya: Mom, do you remember, a few days before my marriage, I got furious for a handy cam?
Anjana thought and others were shocked. Arjun thought.
Anjana: yes, yes.
Aditya: It was the same handy came.
Anjana got shocked.
Aditya: I kept that in my room but don't know where it went.
Arjun: you brought one handy cam from Pune.
Aditya and others looked at him. Aditya frowned.
Aditya: no.
Arjun got shocked.
Arjun: I took a handy cam from your room the day when you came back from Pune.
Aditya got shocked.
Aditya: It was not mine; Avni gave me that.
Everyone got shocked. Aditya looked at Arjun who felt bad.
Arjun: sorry, Bro, I thought you bought that from Pune and I took it.
Aditya said calmly: what did you do, Arjun?
Arjun looked down and Anjana felt bad because she knew that Arjun is used to pick Aditya's shirts and other things and Aditya never stopped him so he also took the handy cam with the thought that he will return it after using it.
Arjun: Sorry, Bro.
Aditya: where it is now?
Arjun: I am coming.
Aditya nodded. Arjun ran and Aditya thought. Aditya got restless.
