Welcome back sidneetians!!
Chapter:77
💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

*Author's POV*

He picked her in his arms and rocked her back and forth while humming sweet things in her ear... Shushing her and consoling her, trying to make her quiet... Sidneet watched them from a distance, her eyes had tears while his eyes went back and forth from Aman to Avneet, From Avneet to Aman... He kept his hand on her shoulder and squeezed it, she looked at him and blinked her eyes, soaking the tears away... Aman looked at this sight and his blood boiled in anger... He was mad thinking that Avneet is here to introduce her boyfriend... He started patting Jaya vigorously, making her quiet... He looked at her and he could see Avneet in it, he could remember when Avneet was three years old, he remembered her being naughty and whiny, he remembers her cute little nose and the mole above her lips, she like Jaya has... But he could also see Riyaz in her, Avneet has brown eyes while Riyaz and Jaya have black, it was a reminder of her being Riyaz's daughter, it was a reminder of Avneet's mistake and sin... He put Jaya back in her pram and made a poker face, pretending that he is feeling nothing... No sadness, no anger, no joy of holding her for the first time, no regret of pushing Avneet away, nothing... When a kid came to him, diverting his mind from his children... A little while later, Ms. Meena came back and asked the kids to go to the mess for lunch and showed his gratitude towards Avneet for making the same... Kids made a line and went to the mess along with Siddharth after thanking Avneet and Avneet stayed behind with Aman, who was going to leave...
.
Avni: Papa...

Aman: ...

Avni: You come here and spend time with these kids when your daughter is just like them... I am an orphan too, why don't you sympathize with me...

Aman: ...

Avni: I know I brought this on myself but my kids didn't... It isn't their fault... Won't you hold Jaya in your arms again, won't hug her and kiss her face? Don't you miss them, don't you even want to see Sam and her?

Aman: They are nothing to me...

Avni: They didn't seem like anything when you were holding her...

Aman: What do you want? Why are you here? To introduce me to your boyfriend?

Avni: Boyfriend? Who? Siddharth? Dad, he is not my boyfriend... He is a friend; he is my bandmate... I know you know that I have my band now... I sing now as you wished me to... I am changing dad; I am not the poor wife who is suppressed by her husband... I have made some mistakes and I am guilty of them... I have suffered because of them but I also have worked to improve them... And I want you to see that... I want you to see me and give me another chance...

Aman: Don't change the topic... Tell me the truth, does this boy Siddharth mean something to you? Could he be your possible, future boyfriend or husband?

Avni: Why does that matter? Why should our relationship depend on who I like or could like?

Aman: I want to know if there is someone in your life, you could betray me again for...

Avni: I won't ever betray you again... And about him, I respect him and I can't say anything more... He has been very supportive and respectful to me... I want to be honest with you and that is why I am saying to you this that I might like him in future... But-

Aman (interrupted): So, history repeats itself...

Avni: Let me, complete dad... But I won't do that without your blessings... Look dad, I don't want to lie to you, I don't regret my decision of marrying Riyaz... I loved him and I married him... But I shouldn't have eloped away, I shouldn't have disrespected you... I should have fought for him and demanded your blessings... I shouldn't have left my family for him but I was thinking about starting a family with him... I was planning to make a family with him and for that, I had to keep him first... I had to prioritize him... Isn't that how families are made? My mistake was to ignore all your warnings, all the red flags but I did what anyone would have done... I kept my future family in front of my current family... I don't think I did anything wrong... Did I?

Aman: ...

Avni: Why are you quiet now? Because I am right... You know that I wasn't completely wrong, you know that if you had put your ego aside and not cut me off it would have been a lot better... You know that right? You aren't mad, you are guilty... Is that what it is dad?

Aman: ...

Avni: Dad, say something... Please...
.
He couldn't meet eyes with her, he looked down in guilt... Yes guilt, he felt guilty for not being the bigger one, he felt guilty for not fighting for his daughter, he felt guilty for letting her go, he felt guilty for not going to her and opening his arms for her when she was in need... He was a mistake too because there is never only one person a mistake... If one is being stubborn then the other should let his guard down and it was his duty to do so... Avneet was a kid, a kid who was crazy in love but he was wise, he has seen the world... Wasn't it, his duty to guide her? Wasn't it his duty to let her make her decisions and then give her a shoulder when she fails? Today, it was all his mistake because the younger was ready to apologize, she was ready to take the blame for all the mistakes she has done, she realized her sins but he didn't, not till this very moment... He was unaware and unapologetic of the mistakes he did and she made him aware of those...

So, how was the chapter?

It was a very impromptu one, so I am not sure if it made any sense but I hope and wish it did...

Okay, Chalo byee...
