Recap: Sharan's harsh behavior

Next morning

Ishana's POV

I woke up from sleep to see that angels are still asleep in my lap and appa too crashed on the couch last night. I slowly made them sleep on bed without disturbing their sleep. My lap was hurting very much but it is nothing when I am doing all this for my angels. I made my way to the kitchen and make coffee for both appa and me. He woke up at my second call.

Looks like he didn't sleep last night. He took the coffee and we both settled down on the couch.

"Veena and Varna?" he asked me.

"They are still sleeping" I didn't add that they had slept late because they had been worried about Sharan but he understood it all at the same.

"Isha I am so sorry. All this is because of me, because of my selfishness. I know that you are very hurt for whatever happened yesterday. I was always proud of Sharan, he took such good care of his sisters and me, I thought he will take a little time and start to understand you too but I had never imagined that he would hurt you like this. I am really sorry Ishu. I shouldn't have get you both married. It's because of that only you are going through all this now." appa said and I could see that he was really feeling guilty. I felt sad.

I was not really hurt at yesterday's happenings. I was hurt that he hadn't trusted me about the money matter not because of his rude behavior. Angry? most definitely, but hurt? No. Sharan had no right to take his anger out on me and I am going to give him a piece of my mind on this but I was really not hurt.

"Appa it's okay. Don't speak like that. I know why Sharan behaved like that yesterday."

"Where the hell he is? How could he do this to us? You know what Ishu. He haven't done this earlier. If he goes anywhere, he used to inform us. But now..."

"Dont worry. I will bring him back, I think I know where he is" I said and he nodded.

I really want to ask him about Sharan's mother but now isn't the time for that. Eventhough he is angry for Sharan's behavior, equally he is worried for him.

"Just don't wake angels up for a while. I will bring Sharan home" I said.

I left the room and called Sharan's PA. I have a thinking that Sharan would have returned to his office by now. Once I confirmed this with his PA, I left to his office.

So he stayed at the office the whole night and this morning too. What the hell was he thinking, would the entire world disappear just because he closed his eyes? He couldn't run away from his problems. If you hide then your problems only grow, not die. You are a fool Sharan. I know you behaved yesterday not because of problems with me. Instead there is more than what I thinks. But you shouldn't have escaped like this.

I walked into his office building and his receptionist told me that nobody is allowed to enter his office as he is in a very important meeting.

Like hell! He would hit me and then sit here and go about his business? His family is getting so worried about him. And he is here busy with his business. Is business more important for him than his family? I became damn angry. Not because he did all this with me. But because of his careless nature. He have no problem even if his family worries or dies, his only priority is his business and office. What kind of a man he is?

I look at him through the glass walls of the board room and see him giving instructions to his employees. I want to just barge in and slap him but unlike him who would take his anger out on me without considering our surroundings, I know that insulting him before his employees is wrong but I was also not going to leave him like that.

I pushed the door open without asking for his permission. He was shocked seeing me unexpectedly. I stood at the door, my arms folded across my chest and glare at him. He doesn't say anything at first but excuses himself and takes me towards his cabin. Once inside I slap him before he can say anything.

Before he can react, I slap his other cheek too. Who did he think I was that I would bear all his tortures? First the water and yesterday he first pushed me and then held my hair while I was still lying on the floor. That was assault and I am not the type of person to take such things lightly. He was going to understand what it means to mess with Isha?

How dare he raise his hand on me? I move away from him after slapping him but he stands there without saying anything. It looks like he is ready to bear more slaps but I know that I have no right to hit him too. Just because he is wrong doesn't mean that it would give me the right to do as I please.

To my utter mortification, my eyes well up. All the emotions that I have been feeling for the past week rushing back to me at once. I bend my head sideways to hide the tears but he have seen them. He walks forward and touches my shoulder lightly. I jerk his hand away but I can see that he has tears in his eyes too.

He has treated me like trash in the last few days.

"Isha! Please listen to me" he said.

"No Sharan, you listen to me. What were you thinking running away from that situation like that and how dare you raise your hand against me? No matter what you think I did there isn't a single reason that could justify you doing that and your sisters...They were just talking about their mother. No matter what you think of her you have no right to behave like that with them. They are so worried about you, they have been worrying for you about a day now and here you are attending a meeting. How stupid? Seriously are you a human? If you have the courage to do such stupid things then also have the courage to face their consequences. You are a coward Sharan Sharma" I completed, moving away from him.

He is now on his knees. I look back at him once more before wiping my tears and leaving the room.

Sharan's POV

I don't have the strength to face Isha. I didn't even try to stop her. I know that everything that she has said so far is true.

I am a coward.

I was at the beach all of yesterday and at about midnight I had come to the office. I was about to go home in the morning but my PA had informed me about this important meeting and I had stayed here. It had given me the much required reason to not go home and face my family.

I know that I was wrong in raising my hand against Isha. I have no right to do that. She had spoken about my mother and then I thought of her betrayal and all of it together had emerged out in the form of all that. I was wrong and even more wrong in not apologizing immediately.

When she had interrupted the meeting and then slapped me, I had been extremely angry but when I looked at her scrapped elbows and seen her slight limp all my anger melted into remorse. I shouldn't have lost control over myself.

I love my sisters and I should have controlled myself from saying all that before them. How could I leave them like that and go away.

I am sorry Veena, Varna.

My dad must be so disappointed in me right now.

I held my head in my hands and sat there for a while. After ten long years I am feeling like this again, helpless and useless.
