Aastha was feeling a different type of confliction when she got to know what happened to Anokhi after her being blamed in Alok's harassment case with Priyanka.
She very well knew how that Sabherwal people were, they were doing so much planning and plotting recently that Aastha was almost on verge of venting out all her anger and resentment on them and warn them to be fair to Anokhi.
She was watching their bad deeds from the moment she became the bride of Shaan, much before she became a mother of Shaurya. Although it was difficult to imagine the misdeed that Alok had done, but it was not completely impossible. She was concluding from a few days that their evil ideas were crossing all of their limits since Shagun kapoor had entered in their life.
She very well knew how much they could steep low. In some way or other Shagun was always behind for whatever bad had happened to Anokhi. Moreover, Aastha believed in herself, her teachings and on top of all, she believed in Anokhi's sayings. She knew that she could blindly trust in Anokhi.
What so ever happened was a big trickery, she was sure of that. She was very anxious for Anokhi. After all of that, when Anokhi told her that Shaurya didn't even want to know her side of story, Aastha almost got panic attack.
No... Never.. This couldn't happen. She knew her son more than anyone. She knew he couldn't do any such thing. He was blindly in love with Anokhi and Aastha did cherish their bond. But, Anokhi never told anything from her mind. She knew that Anokhi used to tell truth only. Then, what was true?
Anokhi must have mistaken. But, again... Anokhi's word during Goa incidence rung in her ear. Anokhi had asked her about her stand when she sided Shaurya for rejecting Shagun. She had told Anokhi that whatever had happened was not the fault of Shaurya, but his teachings that he got from his Uncle and aunt during childhood, then Anokhi questioned a very reasonable thing that whether whatever she was saying to Anokhi was because of her being Shaurya's mother? Would she have same suggestion about him if she was the mother of a daughter? And for the first time she had no answer of Anokhi's questions.
She felt on that day that she was failing in being a good teacher, which was the part of her identity for several years. On that day, she not only disappointed Anokhi, but she felt the same guilt in herself too. Now, she couldn't justify Shaurya, not anymore. Since that day, she had learnt from Anokhi that before passing any statement, one should judge the situations from both angles. A simple formed on her lips after remembering Anokhi's college days in Kapurthala. Anokhi was a brilliant student since starting. She used to question a lot, many a times even Aastha used to find her reflection in Anokhi. But many a times, Anokhi used to give her a lesson of life.
After coming out of nostalgia, Aastha surveyed the whole situation, she was too much happy for her husband, oh sorry! She told her self, ex-husband. She could never convince herself for calling Shaan as her past. In fact, she used to see him in her dreams always, she never parted her ways from him in actuality. But, she couldn't say this to him. She knew he would get super happy by knowing this, but again they had no future now. She had stopped thinking about him and her as a couple.
Yet again, when he supported their daughter-in-law, she got to overwhelmed that she controlled her urge to hug him. She always has that complain with him that he didn't support her in her decision 25 years before. But, that day it seemed like he had almost undo his mistake, although this thing couldn't offer them their most precious 25 years that she'd spent alone in remembrance of her only and him. But, that day she really got satisfaction that he had changed a lot.
She never ever stopped loving him, after being a father of a 30 years old son he still looked so charming. His smile after seeing here face was one of the most adorable thing for her. If she could unlove him even for a second, she wanted to try that that day, because he really was looking dashing and confident in so many years just the same Shaan she fell in love in her college days.
Perhaps, it was not these right moment. They had a major thing to solve. She couldn't let Anokhi go to her parent's house this way leaving all things and being hurted. She really wanted to slap her son on his face for being so late in mending their fights. She knew that he was right but, she could also understand the point of view of Anokhi. Even if she's there in Anokhi's place, she might also be doing the same thing. Oh God! She had swore to God that she wouldn't compare Anokhi with herself. She never wanted the same fate for Anokhi and Shaurya.
But whenever I got to have time to make that dish for him, he used to shine like a flower just as Shaan was smiling right then. How lovely those days were aahh!!
All family members smiled by seeing this. I didn't interfere in anyone's talk and as usual they guessed my silence as acceptance of that proposal, which was true though.
Then, we started to eat dinner. The food was same, the house was same, I was same too. But, I ate the most delicious food till now in Sabherwal mansion. Perhaps, it was because of the union of all members' hearts the first time. Just when I was being proud of my Shaurya and my daughter Anokhi for making the elders realize their mistakes and uniting the family , I was thinking that that day had brought me so much surprises, but I was wrong, that day had planned something much shocking for me.
Tez bhai sahab offered me a job in SIAC as a member of board. My food got stuck in my throat, I coughed a little and Kanchan passed a glass of water to me.
He ignored my reaction and was saying casually that as Alok had suspended from college which I'm sure was not true. I knew him and other family members too well, probably he was forced to resign himself or maybe was terminated as was Shagun. Anokhi had explained each and everything with minute details. But, I didn't interrupt between his small speech of reasons behind giving me a job which I almost didn't hear.
I was still surprised to react. I remembered very clearly how in the past when I asked them to give me a job according to my qualifications after death of my brother for supporting my beeji and baauji, those were the same people who were standing in my opposition. Now, theft were themself offering me and opportunity which was much bigger than that. True said, time changes everything. But, I couldn't accept that.
I had gotten a lot of offers for being principal in Divya Jyot Girls College, but I rejected them, because I couldn't handle all this responsibilities and a duty of a daughter for my older parents at the same time. Since, I had not even been a principal in a college of a small village, how could I handle so big college?
I saw each and every member starting at me. There was a spoon in my hand, in which I saw my reflection. Because it was my issue with doing stupid stuff during eating and deep thinking. I was not able to find anything on my face. Then, I got know that they all were waiting for me to accept this offer.
Shaan put his hand on my lap under table as if trying to make me understand. He whispered again that has had checked, sun rise from east add usual. A small smile cracked from my lips. Then I concentrated on that topic. I tried to reason with them but I forgot that my champion student was well enough in debate too was sitting next to me, trying to give each and every logic to make me accept that job. I asked them for some time duration to think. Actually, it was an excuse to escape from that situation, but Anokhi seemed to understand. She made me remember that for the post we were discussing was one of the members of board, not any little-pittle,so better to accept it earlier. How that damn girl could read my mind and warm me like that? I would surely pull her ears once she got my hands. Till then, I was unable to even stand against her reasoning. Still, I decided to give up and accepted the job.
