Burning in Revenge

Didn't Think About Me

Aishwarya's POV

What was I even thinking? This is hospital, not home. I didn't even lock the door' I scolded myself

"I was not expecting this scene, I thought Aishu tried to kill you or something, that's why you screamed" Vishal laughed

"She kind of attacked" Vicky said

He is shameless

"Vicky, take it slow, you were given sedative, take my hand" Vishal said

" Do you feel dizzy or something" he asked after few seconds

"I'm good" Vicky said

I wanted to go out to see if Vicky is ok. I felt relaxed hearing him

"I can see how my sister attacked you" Vishal said

Oh god! I bit his cheek, obviously anyone could see. How can I show my face to everyone

"Aishu, it's ok come out, I already witnessed your romance, how long will you hide there? You need bed rest" Vishal said

"You go" i said

"You want to continue your romance?" Vishal teased

"Vishal" I shouted

"Ok ok I'm going, come out" he said

"Vishal wait" i said Coming out

"I'm sorry about last night and past few months. Thank you for everything" i said sincerely

He was always there for me, helping, caring.

"Thank you Aishu, you have no idea how happy I'm right now. I was imagining worst scenario, thought both of you need Psychiatrist help" he said

"I too thought, Sushanth offered to get appointment with his aunt" i laughed

Suddenly I felt sharp pain in my abdomen

Vicky held me

"Are you ok? Do you need to see doctor?" He asked

I nodded no

"Lay down Aishu" Vishal said

I laid down, I still have light pain

"It will get better, you need complete bed rest" Vishal said

"Dr. Ananya is on leave, Shall I call Sushanth's aunt" Vishal said

"You mean fake aunt" I said smiling

"How do you know?" He asked

"Sushanth told"

"He pleaded Dr. Nethra not to tell you and he himself told! You should have seen his face when he asked her. Even in that situation we laughed" Vicky said smiling

"There is breakfast, Sushanth got it. Both of you have. It's yummy" I said

"I'm damn hungry" Vishal said

"Me too but I need to use restroom first" Vicky said going

"There are few new tooth brushes in restroom, you can use them" i said

"I brushed" Vishal said taking bread toast

Vicky came after sometime and started eating French toast

"Sushanth is completely changed man. I was surprised when you asked for him, now I understand why" Vishal said

Vishal got call, he went out

"Sushanth is the reason for our happiness, he told me what happened last night when I was unconscious.

I'm sorry Vicky, I should have confronted you about that letter. I saw your love and care always but my mind got stuck with that trash letter" I apologized

"No Aishu, it's my fault. I didn't want to break up with you, Nikhi said she would kill herself if won't do it. I should have met you and told everything instead of writing letter" he said

"But that letter...."I was confused.

"I wrote letter but Nikhi wrote letter in my handwriting and put it there. I apologized in my letter, asked you to forget me and move on. Till last night I had no idea about....." he couldn't complete

"It's ok, forget" I said

"No Aishu, I understand your pain. Believe me, I always loved you. When I met you and proposed, I didn't even know about your family. After my training, Nikhi showed me your photo. Till then I had no idea. I didn't agree to break your heart. She came up with this plan of engagement. I was scared but Nikki assured that she wouldn't let Rehaan marry you.

Our plan was to humiliate your family. Vishal held you in Delhi... you came to Hyderabad suddenly that day. Our plan would have been foiled. 

Nikki came up with the idea of me proposing you and hold you that night. I agreed because I was scared that you would get engaged to Rehaan..." he said 

"You planned to hurt my family? I thought it's just Nikki... you didn't plan to propose? It was fake?" It hurt me so much

"I was stupid, didn't think you would be hurt too. Vishal warned me not to agree. For one month he tried to convince me to give up. I couldn't say no to Nikki, also a part of me wanted revenge..."

"You thought my family will be humiliated! Not me? Everyone would be still talking about me eloping with some random guy, taunting my family about my character and upbringing" I cried 

"Sorry Aishu, I didn't think. I regret...wish I could go back in time and change...it's true that I didn't plan to propose that day but whatever I did was truly from my heart. It was real, not fake. I bought that mangalsutra before I knew who you were. 

That night I planned to fly to Delhi and propose you, that's why I was carrying mangalsutra and my grandma's saree" he said 

He loves me sincerely, but he chose revenge... what am I supposed to be now? Forget past as I decided before! Maybe... when I decided to accept Vicky, in my mind he did worse than just humiliating  my family... 

"Aishu, I don't have any revenge or hatred towards your mama now... actually I feel pity for him... I lived with guilt and remorse for few months. I know that feeling, it kills... he lived for years...

I will accept my crimes and ask for forgiveness from your family. They still think you are to be blamed..."

"No, don't do that...my family will forgive me soon... if they know what happened, it would destroy all the relations...

Aunty and uncle can't bear the shame... I don't want anyone to point at them...

My family would take me home right away... they will throw Neetu out... Varna..."

"Why would your family throw your sister in law out?" He asked 

I forgot that he doesn't know... maybe it's time

"She is your sister Swathi" I said 

He looked at me in shock 

"Aunty and uncle are in Newyork with her... uncle said not to tell you till they return" I said 

He cried in happiness 

"Neetu is my sister? She knows? That's why she calls me Bhai!"

"When did you learnt about it?" He asked 

"When Anil came here, he gave chain from Neetu... it's the only thing she had when she was separated from her family. She sent as wedding gift. 

The next day I wore, aunty and uncle saw...

Neetu insisted on DNA test... she is your sister" 

He held my hand and cried
