Sairat

Catastrophe

This a continuation of the before part.

With Sai, even Virat's feeling and point of view too, were not shown properly.
So here I am trying to show the same, which otherwise, was the job of the makers.

So here it goes.

Reality should always be faced as it is, not as it was or as we wish it to be.

Virat went near Ashwini, who was beside Sai, asking her to wake up fast, so that she can scold her for scaring her like this. Virat, knew how much his mother likes Sai. "Aai, I want to know what happened", said Virat sitting in the chair beside his mother. Ashwini went on to tell, how the whole family had kept shooting insults about the gift and how it started, by the time Ashwini completed, Virat was fuming, "This matter had finished, the minute we both apologised to Pakhi's parents, why did she have to bring it up again. Also If she really wanted to give the gift back, she could have done it silently instead of creating an issue. Aai, please take care of Sai, I will come back". "Why, what is more important to you at this moment than being near your wife?", scolded Aai. "Nothing is more important than my wife Aai, but I need to have a talk with the family members", said Virat and left the room. Ashwini sat, wondering what was going to happen.

Virat knew his family members never liked Sai. But hating her to an extent that it affected her mental health, this is not right and he needed to do something about it and let his family know that hurting her, like this won't be tolerated now. With a determination to talk to them, he started walking towards the hall.

"I do not want to waste any of your time. So please, can you tell me who started the whole tamasha, because am loosing it here", said Virat directly to the people seated in the hall, not wanting to waste time. "So you really think we are responsible for her condition Virat", said Pakhi. "I am loosing my one ounce of patience and I do not want to indulge in any extra matters, other than relevant to my wife's condition", said Virat stressing. "Virat what is wrong with you, How could you", Pakhi tried to continue, but stopped when Virat shouted, "Out of all the people here, who had to shut their mouth at my question was you, but you really like talking right? So here I am standing in front of everyone and directly asking you, when yesterday I and Sai apologised to your parents, the matter was closed. Why did you have to bring it up today. If you wanted to return the gift, you could have silently given it to me or Sai, yesterday night itself, but you did not. Why?", questioned Virat. "Enough Virat, you can't talk to patralekha like that, she is the elder daughter-in-law of the house, you are just disrespecting her now", said Kaku while Patralekha started having tears in her eyes. "So is Sai, why can't you understand that and Kaku, not today, no one will come in between, while I stand here and speak the things I should have done long ago. And yes, I will be talking to everyone, so please be patient and just wait for your turn", said Virat sternly. Now, every member in the hall were shocked with his behaviour, only Sunny and Mohit were not. "Patralekha, I asked you something, will I get an answer or not?", asked Virat. "You thought hiding the issue from elders would be okay, that too with a serious matter like this", said Pakhi. "It wasn't that a big matter, that you insult my wife", said Virat. "You need to know certain things, will definitely tell you, wait for it and No, I am not going to listen to any of your words again now, so please shut it", said Virat. "Kaku, Baba, Omi kaka and Sonali Kaka, you people call yourselves elders and boast about, how you have seen the world and all, but let me tell you something today, you people are so full of yourselves", said Virat.

For a person to understand something, they just need an event/situation to happen, so that, they can see things, in the way it has to be seen. For Virat, such event/situation was, when his wife's health and her mental state was being affected. "Today, I will be asking you some questions and I need answers and I won't take a no for it", said Virat. "You can't talk like this, to us Virat, I am your father", said Baba. "Where, were you my dear father, when the family was insulting your daughter-in-law. Oh right, I forgot, you were also a part of it, huh, my bad, I shouldnt have asked you this question, anyway", continued Virat shocking every person in the hall, as they have never seen him like this. "From the day, Sai came into this house as my wife, everyone had a problem with her instantly, without even trying to understand who she was, whom am I kidding, even I did not understand her, but she was with us all this time right? I slowly started understanding her, who she is, why does she has such thought process and all, but you people who call yourself elders couldn't understand her a bit. Everyone keeps insulting her upbringing everyday, I guess you people forgot, but let me remind you, that I was trained under her father for some period. I have seen him and I can understand how he brought her up. Also, how could you people forget that if I am alive today, standing in front of you people and speaking, it was because her father sacrificed his life, in order to save mine. Not even one ounce of gratitude you people have towards her atleast in that matter. She goes to college to study and fulfill her dream instead of sitting in the house and plot against people", said Virat looking pointedly at Pakhi, Kaku, Baba and Omi Kaka. "What does that mean Virat?", asked Pakhi on behalf of all of them. "So you really think, I do not know anything that happens in the house", said Virat. Every person was confused as to what Virat was talking about. "Ahh, nice to know, that you have forgotten what you people did", said Virat clapping. "Don't play with the words Virat, if there is something tell it openly", said Kaku. "Okay as you wish, Kaku. I am going to ask one question now. Was it only Omi Kaka who was responsible for all the things that happened with Pulkit Jiju", asked Virat. To say it was a shock for the four of them is an underestimation. "Before you people twist with words, let me tell you, I know everything that happened, who was involved, what they did, the kidnap and most important thing was that, the letter was a lie, a beautifully carved lie, by my own family. But there is one thing, that I admit not knowing, who's idea was to create a letter like that. At this stage am not even interested in wanting to know it", said Virat fiercely. Nobody knew how to react. "I am an IAS Officer, I do my investigations very perfectly. After everything settled, I spoke with Pulkit Jiju, Sai too. All these days, I was silent and today, I admit I was wrong by being silent, but I won't anymore", continued Virat.

"Take this as a warning or threat or any way you want, one more time you cross your limits, I will forget that you are my family", said Virat and walked back to his room, to be with his wife. Shock covered every face. But three people's face were glowing with happiness. Aai, who came to the hall to stop if anything huge happens, was proud of her son, for doing what had to be done, Sunny and Mohit were happy and proud that he finally chose his wife.

Hey guys, thank you for taking out your time and reading this. Hope you like it.

Aah, dramatic end right? Always wanted Virat to speak things like that, but that never happened. Anyways, the next chapter would be from Virat's point of view again. Two or three more parts, I guess and then will write about other scenarios too.

I hope I did justice to this part. Please let me know how it is in the comment section.

Until next time.
