Chaahat's POV:

I wanted to say more but I saw MyPie and I somehow stopped myself..

I started running down the staircase and began packing my bags while I saw Aarya, Mihir and SonaPie at the door...

I looked at SonaPie and somehow couldn't control myself...I was rude to her...I went running into her arms and hugged her...

'Im sorry Sona Ma... I didn't mean to... I'm...'

She kissed my forehead...

'Sona... It's fine... I just came to tell you the priest has checked the stars and confirmed tomorrow is Adi's barsi (death anniversary) ... I have organised everything in Sehgal House...' she said...

And I nodded...

While I saw Mihir and Aarya were looking at me with a lot of sadness...

I smiled at them both...

'Will you drop me to the cab station? I have booked a cab to Bangalore' I said...

'Di...Mihir and I will drop you' Aarya said...

And I smiled at her...

'Its ok Aarya...I'll manage...Vansh and Malvika will have troubles'

To which we heard Vansh in background saying...

'Its fine Chaahat...I will join Neiv...' and I nodded... Although mention of his name clenched my gut!!!

***

Next day morning, everything was organised...the Sehgal house was elegantly cleaned up for the barsi while I was waiting for MyPie and SonaPie to sit for the Pooja...

They came along and the priest began the rituals...

Finally the priest was offering Prashad to everyone while alongside I saw 4 more hands next to me standing to receive the Prashad and I was flabbergasted seeing the sight of it...

While I couldn't control my anger..

From the holy room where the rituals were performed I dragged those two women to the living room and pushed them away...

'How dare you come in to take the prashad of my father's barsi? ' I yelled

While I felt a squeeze on my shoulder and it was SonaPie...

'I hope this time it's not your plan Sona ma ..you know I will tolerate anything but this'

'Chaah... Not today it's your father's death anniversary'

'Yea.... exactly SonaPie... and if my dad knows they have eaten the prashad of my dad's deaths anniversary... believe me his soul will never be at peace'

'Chaahat please beta'

'Which means you invited them na??? Answer me SonaPie' I asked angrily...

'We both did Chaahat...' MyPie added and held SonaPie's hand tightly...

'Really MyPie??? How could you... like really how could you...this one...you think these both even deserve to be here...this woman is responsible for my dad's death' I spat venom...

'Chaahat ...' SonaPie looked very angry now...

'Even if you zip my mouth I'm not shutting it up... why is she here... throw her out...' I yelled..

'She is needed... because when a child's marriage proposal is to be discussed it's a parent's right to be with their child' MyPie said and I was shocked...

'Yes Chaah...we have seen your and Neiv's closeness so today we thought would be most auspicious to fix your proposal as your dad will be the happiest.. Dev Jiju and Ishaani Di have sent you a formal proposal...they will be here any'

While I cut them in between...
'And why do you think I will marry Neiv...' I said and both looked shocked...

'Sonapie...you know me...I don't believe in the institution of marriage and I hate love!!! I can't understand anything other than the love I get from you guys who are my family...

Not this Shameless lady with this filth..bloody not even a Garewal calls herself one... dirty blood' I said and even before I could speak further I was rewarded with a slap from SonaPie while I froze...

'Shutup Chaahat!!! I tolerated every thing but this language.. what has she done??? She's a mere 19 year old...' SonaPie screamed
..

While I looked towards the other lady with hatred.

'I was 11 when this so called 'Mother' of mine was in love!!!

Not just love carried this illegitimate dirt in her stomach...'. To which I get slapped again by SonaPie...

I still don't stop...
'I don't care SonaPie...truth is truth... this one here whom 'Mrs Garewal' calls herself proudly as 'Miss Khushi Aditya Garewal' is not even a Garewal...

Is instead the cause why my father was shocked that night...

This woman was ready to leave me abandon me because she had found true love...

So Mrs Garewal... Where is your love??? He loved you na...you left my father to die...you were ready to leave me too... where is that love today?

Huhhh...Look at you....you are in such a shameful state where everyone knows ... that this one.... she...your that daughter for who's sake you were ok to leave your this daughter....

Honestly...Is not even a Garewal but then you call her one...

Woooow... such a disgust!!! After all who'll question you right??? You killed my father and my grandfather never really questioned!!!

But listen!!! Even then truth alone triumphs!!!

You had hidden it from all but I found the truth when I heard you begging to this man for accepting her and you!!!

But then you reap what you sow !!!

You deserve loneliness when you gave back loneliness to my father!!!

I always thought why can't my father and mother be a normal couple, I hated my father for hitting you...but little did I know you were in an extra marital affair and my father tried to hide that from us...the world...but when he saw you pregnant with someone else's child is when it was his extreme!!!

That was also his last day!!!

You killed my father !!! This ...this little piece of unwanted illegiti'

Before I could complete this time it felt a slap on my face and it was MyPie...

He had tears in his eyes...

'Mypie???? You..??? You slapped me????' I saw him rub his eyes...

'I never gave you this upbringing princess... I'm disappointed in my upbringing today... legitimate illegitimate??? You talk this??? Time and again Chaah I have always told!!!

There are no illegitimate children...

There are Only illegitimate parents!!!

Who couldn't handle their responsibility!!

And what do you hate your mother for???

Falling in love??? Trusting someone???

She fell in love with someone whole heartedly who cheated upon her...

She kept asking a divorce to Aadi who kept denying her...

He must have let Nandini go if he really loved her beyond anything...

But he didn't...

He was clinging into her for 4 years... And finally when he discovered of her pregnancy he slapped her and walked out of the house...in a rage he drives and his car meets with an accident...

Here Nandini's mistake is what???

That she was honest of her emotions from day 1???

She confessed of being in love with someone else???

People are human Chaahat!!!

Life isn't a Wattpad novel!!! Which mostly ends on a happy note!!!

People fallout of love...

Nandini fell for someone else...now how is it wrong!!!

Although society may term her anything...just think as a grown-up individual Chaahat!!!

She broke Aadi's heart yea!!! Agreed!!!

But!!!

She was honest about it!!!

Aadi didn't let her go!!!

The guy whom she fell for was a dog!!!

And it's not like she didn't want you Chaahat... legal opinion wise Aadi would definitely demand your custody... Your mother didn't want the court drama so she let you go to your father well in advance..

And all this was known to your grandfather Mr Karanjit Garewal!!!

He knew it!!

Also even after your father's death your mother took care of your grandfather even though they stayed in seperate homes!!!

From his medicines to everything!!!

Your upbringing as well was decided to be done by us is thanks to Nandini...

Because she felt you need a mother and you hated her!!!

Karanjit uncle told her to use the Garewal surname for Khushi because he believed family drama stays in family. And Nandini Iyer earned the Garewal surname by being a daughter to the Garewal family!!!

She isn't a bad woman Chaahat!!! It's just that she doesn't do things for limelight!!!

She only did one mistake in her life...

Fell for a man who was untrustworthy!

But then is love a crime???

Answer me???'

MyPie said it all
..

And I was numb!!!

I could hear the little 19 year old half sister of mine crying out badly..

Probably I really must not have done this!!!

I slowly went to her and pulled her into a hug...

She lifted her head and looked at me...

She hugged me back..

MyPie SonaPie smiled with tears...

While I saw my mother coming to hug me but I stopped her!!!

'Im sorry Mrs Garewal... I can forgive this child here because she wasn't at fault but you must have been a responsible adult which you weren't!!

You fell in love you say!!

Love my foot!!!

Love some shit!!!

I don't understand what this love shit is that made you let your own blood go selfishly for your own happiness!!!

I'm sorry I maybe matured enough to accept this half sister of mine but you still remain a nobody in my life!

So stay away!!!'

I said...

And I turned towards SonaPie and MyPie and told them...

'Also... Neiv and Me!!! There is no love nothing there!!

Infact I don't believe in this love!!!

I....

I hate love!!!

And marriage is something which does not exist in Chaahat Garewal's dictionary!!

I ....

I don't feel anything for him!!!

Just because he slips a ring into my finger I don't fall for him...

He's a friend!!!

That's it!!!

I don't believe in love, marriage or anything else!!!

And yeah...im leaving to Australia tonight!!!

With that I guess we will have curtains down to this topic of discussion!!!

Permanently!!!'

I announced and turned around to walk into the holy room for the Pooja while I'm shocked to see Dev uncle, Ishaani aunty and HIM!!!

At the door!!!

I saw his eyes brimming with a pool of tears!!!

'I....I'm sorry Neiv!!! But I'm not into this love and marriage drama!!!'

Saying I walked past him...

I could hear a sob escape his mouth...

It honestly pulled a string in my heart...

I hate to admit but I can't see that man in tears...

But then this love and marriage shit is a pothole!!!

I'm incapable of loving someone that way in life!!!

I know I broke his heart but it's better than a broken marriage...

After all not every marriage... every couple be a Behir of a Dishani right???

Sooner he accepts sooner he heals!!!'

Thinking I walked away...

That night I left to Australia...

Closing all doors and windows to my heart that knocked of this Devil called Neiv Kapoor!!!

It was finished!

Love and Chaahat can NEVER be called in the same line except that...

Chaahat hates Love!!! 💔
