Our Way Back

67. Her outburst

A D V I K A

"Maa, this is what I want! I will not give it up this time because of something or someone! Why am I supposed to give up my happiness because you think I won't be happy? You know what even if I'll have to stay in a one room kitchen apartment with him, I will! I don't want to have a luxurious life, I want a happy life and as you like to remind me, I am already 27, and it's time to get married isn't it?! So here I am in inviting you to my wedding, if you feel like thinking about your daughter's happiness you're welcome but if you want to cause a scene there then please don't come, I don't mind at all!", Saying this I hold Vishal's hand and storm out of the house with a relief. I see Rohit and Mansi's stunned faces but they can handle themselves now, I need space for myself. The suffocation an pain of so many years buried in my heart overflowed today and I feel lighter now! I feel free, I am not gonna think of what they would think anymore, it's my life, I will live it with my decisions and the consequences of those decisions!

5 days earlier. (London)

"Rohit we need to go back together and finish off the revelations to both our parents.", I tell Rohit are we were sitting and sipping coffee on our dining table. Vishal, Mansi were on the table with us while Adnan, Rushi were on the couch pretending to work.

"I don't how would they take all this!", Rohit says thinking.

"I know, you're parents would be still fine mine wouldn't be at all! They have something against Vishal since always!", I tell him.

"Fine let's do this!", He says.

"It would be great if Sakshi accompanies you, I mean you're parents would love her.", I suggest.

"No, I am not sure, you know how much they admire you and when I tell this they will flip out, I don't want her to be the victim to their nasty comments about us or me or anything!", Rohit explains and I couldn't agree more to it.

"Fine!", I reply and Vishal holds my hand under the table giving me a warm sqeeze.

"We will talk to your parents together", Vishal announces and Rushi, Adnan's heads snap towards us but thier faces hold an expression of content and pride for Vishal. I know he will live upto his words of always being there with me!

Today

We pack all our stuff and leave London by the evening flight. I couldn't carry all of my stuff back here but Rohit assured that he would send it over here from London afterwards as he was gonna stay here for a couple of months more. On the flight, Rohit and Adnan have thier seats in front of me and Vishal while Rushi and Mansi have theirs behind us. Adnan gets back to his work after we board the flight while Rohit was busy talking to Sakshi. I am genuinely happy fir Rohit, he seems compelete around Sakshi. She is a great girl, and by now you should know that when I approve of a girl she had to be the best!

They've been together just for 2 months now but it seems like forever! I can't thank Sakshi enough for coming into his life at the right time!

Vishal pokes me with his arm bringing me back to earth from my thoughts.

It was a 10 hour long flight and we have practically nothing to do!

"Already missing London?", Vishal asks.

"I always miss London!", I reply.

He doesn't say anything further, I close the hand rest between the both of us and lean towards Vishal. He drapes his arm around my shoulder and pulls me closer. I take the blanket and cover both of us and sleep immediately due to the fatigue of packing since 2 days.
