The Sinner- 7

Apollo Hospital..

Delhi..

Arnav and the rest of the Raizada family was waiting impatiently infront of the labour room.. Though everyone was very worried about Anjali and her unborn but the incident few hour before flashed before their eyes, not leaving their mind and heart..

" How could Chotey stoop so low?" Manohor could not hide his disappointment.

" I never thought my Arnav bitwa will do this type of injustice towards someone, specially to a woman.." Manorama said in low tone..

" I failed... My upbringing failed.. I tried very hard but could not erase the blood they are carrying.. Arnav and Anjali finally proved they are Malik.. Arvind Malik's children and Subhadra Malik's grandchildren.." Devyani whispered controlling the tears... Since the moment she had known the truth, her heart sank.. She could not able to forgive herself.. for last six months all the ill treatment was going on with that poor soul, infront of her eyes , under the same roof and she was oblivious of that..

" Sasuma, don't blame yourself only, we all are equally responsible.. Even Khushi's family members too... after the eloped marriage we all forgive Arnav but not Khushi.. Her buaji called her a bad omen and abandoned her.. She was not at all at fault, it was our Arnav bitwa.." Manorama whispered.. She was regretting her behavior towards the poor soul who bear all the burnt with any fault of hers..

" I don't know if there any way to redeem our wrong doings.. I don't know will Khushi bitiya ever forgive us?" Manohor said remorsefully.. He was guilty for being silent for long..

" Khushi may forgive us but not Chotey.. Just imagine, will we ever want a son in law like Chotey for our daughter? Our Anjali Bitiya?" Devyani said with a distant voice..

" But sasuma she is Khushi, she loves our Chotey very much.. SHE IS HURT, BUT SHE WILL FORGIVE CHOTEY.." Manoroma said with hope..

" I hope the same being a grandmother of Arnav.. But when I think from a woman perspective, I myself want Khushi to walk out from the hell which Arnav had created for her.. He had broke the girl's hope for a dream marriage, he had forced Khushi to change so much.. I just.. I.." Devyani fillany let the tears roll down her eyes..

Tears of remorse, tears of guilt, tears of failure..

Akash and Payal were standing a little away from where Devyani, Manohor and Manorama were sitting.. Their thoughts were also occupied by the morning revelations..

" Would you have abandoned me if Khushi refuse to marry Arnavji on our marriage day?" Payal whispered making Akash flinch.

" Never Payal.. I may not voice out my feelings or may be I did not stand against my mother, but I can never imagine my life without you.. I don't know how to make you believe, but trust me, I will never leave your hand for anyone's influence or misunderstandings.. I am not Arnav Singh Raizada, Payal.. I am Akash.. I am a very simple person.. I can not destroy my own life and happiness just for the sake of others.."

Payal looked at Akash, only to find truth shining in his eyes..

" we have to apologize from Khushiji.. and from now on I will be Khushiji's side.. if that means going against Bhai, I will do that.." Akash whispered and Payal hugged him tightly..
