Chapter 25

*Navya Pov*

"Good afternoon, Aunty!" I mumble to my Mother-In-law.

"Good afternoon! Now, come on get freshen up and have some lunch with me." She said, holding my hand and moved away from the bed.

I robotically nodded and got freshened up still frowning because I still can't believe she is here.

"Now, eat it." She said after she dragged me towards the dining hall and made me sit.

I looked around to see there is no one except us. She gestured at me again towards the plate, and I nodded, taking little bites.

"He went to the office." She replied to my unanswered question after I finished my lunch along with her.

After that we both walked towards the balcony and sat there. I looked away because I don't know what to even tell her. She already saw me sleeping in the other room.

"What happened?" She asked, holding my hand.

Then the tears which I stopped from yesterday afternoon started flowing again. I started telling her what I heard in the office room when Di and Jiju visited us.

She listened to everything calmly still holding my hand. I even told her about the kiss and the room too and also about the way he said I look like her at first meeting.

Her hold tightened on my hand, but she didn't utter any word. I know I shouldn't have told her, but I want to share it with someone, and she is the only one here.

"I know maybe I am wrong to behave like this, but it is really hurting to know all this. I may be doing everything completely wrong, but I don't know how else to react." I said after a few minutes.

"Now I can understand what happened. When my son sounded so broken I was so scared but what actually happened here is nothing at all." She said after a few minutes and looked at me.

I looked at her shocked and got up from my seat and moved away. How can she say that it is nothing? This is my life, and someone spent a few months with me so that they can feel they are close to someone who is none other than my sister.

"It's nothing? How can you say that Aunty? Even after knowing everything you just said that. Your son hurt me. He disrespected me more than anyone can and that too after he knows that I love him. When I think of the way, he held me and then remember that he lived with me by actually feeling me as her, I feel like I want to not even feel the skin on me. And you are saying it's nothing." I shouted at her and covered my face crying.

Then I felt her arms around me, and she is rubbing my back. She removed my hands from my face and said, "Now you see, you are feeling nothing wrong, and you are right in your position."

I looked at her shocked and asked "You said all this because...."

"I am sure you must be feeling little guilty to be acting like this with him and everything you said to him yesterday, but you need to know that you are not at all wrong here. I know he did a huge mistake, and I will not say that he didn't." She said and I hugged her suddenly and cried on her shoulder.

"But that doesn't mean you can think of all these things and hurt yourself without hearing his explanation." She added and I shook my head.

"I don't think I have that strength Aunty. I mean, how can I when I understand why he still didn't forget her. She is the perfect girl, and everyone loves her. You too love and admire her." I said sniffing.

She removed me from her and asked, "Now, where did you get that thought from?"

"You always said whatever I am doing is wrong and said I need to learn from my Di. So that means you love her and also think that she is perfect for Suhas right." I replied rubbing my eyes.
