THEY SAY LOVE HEALS ALL WOUNDS BUT DOES IT?

CHAPTER FIVE

"What?", that's impossible. Your lying, you just want to hurt me. No it's not true and I won't accept it", Karan said confusingly.
Rishabh looked at him with pity and sadness. Even though Rishabh was angry at him, Karan was still his brother and he knew Preeta's death will hurt him every much so he felt sorry too.

"I know, it's hard to take it in and believe me but I wouldn't lie about something like this. Aunt Sarla is dead and Pre.. Preeta committed suicide, I was there and saw everything. And am sorry", Rishabh told him sadly.

"No it's not true and am going to see her now"

"Its not good for you to go to Arora house, Karan come back" Rishabh shouted and even tried to stop him but Karan pushed him away and ran to his car leaving everyone confused and sad at the same time.

"Mum, we need to stop him, it's not going to be good for him; there is a lot of bad blood going on and too much resentment from the Arora family. I don't blame them though because our family has caused a lot problems for them. With how aunt Kareena always blamed Preeta for everything I hope she has a decency to accept her faults. Her constant abuse and humiliation to a lot of misunderstandings, accusations some of which i doubt were ever real. Mahira and Sheilyn did their best to creat conflicts; and not just them, this whole family is responsible for has happened to that family. Mum, you never scolded Karan for his bad behaviour, aunt Kareena encouraged him and always labelled Aroras criminals; same as you grandma as an elder to this family, you never gave advise or even premand this family's behaviours towards Aroras. And the rest of us just looked on as Karan did what he did. Had we intervened, Karan's wedding should've never happened; he should've brought Preeta as his wife because she was but what did we do?, you all agreed that he marries Mahira after abandoning his wife in the worst way possible and now Preeta has committed suicide and aunt Sarla is gone too. Do any of you understand the consequences?. Karan isn't the only person responsible for their deaths, we all are", Rishabh said sadly.

They all looked at him with guilt faces, they knew they were partly responsible especially with what they've just found out with regards to Mahira and Sheilyn evil doing against their family. They planning on going to meet the Aroras and ask for forgiveness. As everyone was busy in their own thoughts, Rishabh asked about the whereabouts of both Sheilyn and both. He looked at all of them and it seemed they were avoiding to look at him because they were feeling guilt; so he asked again and this time Sammy told him everything which not only surprised him but it made him angry at the same time. However he didn't say anything; he just went to his parents' room to meet his dad. It may be a sad day for him but also his happiest for seeing his dad out of coma.

"Dad"

They looked at each other emotionally and hugged. Rishabh couldn't believe that his father was finally okay. He then started to cry again saying how sorry he was.
They remained like that for a few more seconds and then let go of each other; just staring each other but then Rishabh started to cry again and told his he's sorry for being a worthless son and for not protecting his family but especially him and Karan.

"I should've never married Sheilyn; I should've listened to Preeta"

"We all should've listened to her and its so sad that we will never apologize to her. I can't believe she and Sarla are dead. They were good people who deserved nothing but the best and this family destroyed that. I can't believe that my own son Karan whom I brought up so well will do such a cruel and malicious thing to Preeta".

"How do you know all that?" Rishabh asked surprised.

"I heard everything you said awhile ago. And am angry at each and everyone of you that you let Preeta go through all that. She's a girl I always thought of as a daughter-in-law of this house and looked up to as a daughter. She was so kind, it's so sad that she's no more and we will never see her again"
