An AKSHAN Story- His revenge, Her love

Chapter 16

FLASHBACK,

Mahesh: Let's go bachhe!

He came back to the car and asked them to follow him to the restaurant he stopped at but Guddan sat on her place not moving.

Guddan: Di, mujhe kahin nahi jaana hai, mujhe ghar jaana hai, please.

She held her hand and pleaded while Antara was confused on what to do.

Mahesh: Kya hua? Tum donon kyun nahi aa rahe ho?

Antara: Uncle, we want to go home.

Mahesh: Ok, we'll go but first come out.

Antara looked at Guddan who was shaking her head not wanting to go.

Antara: Guddan, let's go. Mai hun na tumhare saath.

Guddan: Lekin Di...

Antara: Chal na.

She came out with Guddan and followed him inside the restaurant while Guddan was reluctant. They entered a private dining area which Mahesh booked just a while ago.

Mahesh: Chalo baitho sab aur jaldi batao kya order karna hai.

Guddan: Mujhe kuchh nahi chahiye. Mujhe bas ghar jana hai.

She stood up angrily from her seat and turned to move outside. Mahesh held her hand and made her sit again.

Mahesh: Guddan relax! Mai kuchh nahi karne wala hun.

Guddan: Lekin mujhe nahi rehna yahaan.

She whined like a small baby making him chuckle and pull her cheeks.

Mahesh: Such a baby you are.

Guddan: I know aap ye sab kyun kar rahe hai isiliye mai keh rahi hun ki mai nahin rukengi. I am leaving.

Before she could stand and leave he held her hand and looked at her angrily.

Mahesh: Maine kaha na you are not going anywhere. Just sit quietly.

He said in a bit loud voice frightening her.

Akshat: Dad, if she doesn't want to.....

Mahesh: Shut up!

Guddan hugged Antara as tears welled up in her eyes. She has never seen him this angry which is making her restless and more importantly afraid of him. Mahesh tried to pull Guddan out from her sister's hug and made her sit next to him but she jerked his hand and hugged Antara tighter.

Mahesh: Guddan, I am Sorry! Listen to me.

Antara: Uncle, please, can we leave. Kal hi Guddan thik huyi hai, I don't want her to fall sick again.

Mahesh: Antara don't you think this should end all at once. Kab tak ye apne aap me sab kuchh chhupaye rakhegi. She has to open up.

Antara: But Uncle, she isn't comfortable. I too tried many times...

Mahesh: It's not about being comfortable, this matter could never bring her comfort. She has to do it coming out of her comfort zone. Antara, I know you are concerned for your sister but you should be more concerned if she isn't pouring put her emotions and bottling it up.

Akshat: But Dad just look at her once. She is breaking....

Mahesh: It's better to break at once than to be hurt everyday.

Akshat: Dad, you are being too hard on her.

Mahesh: Kabhi kabhi aisa hona padta hai. Tum log bachhe ho nahi samjhoge. Just because bachhe gir jaayenge, parents unhe zindagi bhar bitha kar to nahi rakhte na. Chalna seekhna hai to girna padega. Driving seekhna to ek do accidents..... I am Sorry. I just wanna say that jis tarah ek strong wall banane ke liye kamzor wall ko todna padta hai usi tarah kuchh difficult decisions lene padte hai. This will hurt her once but atleast she will be mentally relieved for the rest of her life.
