Life - Family or Love (Completed)

Chapter 26: Their Act

A few days later, Manvi was sitting on the couch and a movie was playing on the television.

She was still recovering from her wounds, Ruhana comes out of the kitchen and places her hand on her shoulder. She gets scared for a moment "nahi"

Ruhana said "main hun mumma"

She sits down beside her and Manvi keeps her head on her lap. Ruhana caressed her head lightly, tears were dropping down her eyes.

She picks up the ointment and applies it to her wounds on the back. Manvi closed her eyed for a moment, these wounds might heal but will leave a mark on her body for a lifetime.

Ruhana kisses her head softly and hugs her. "sab thik ho jayega" she said

Ruhana hears some sounds from outside. It was the voice of Chintu, he seems to be shouting at anyone.

Manvi gets up, Ruhana looks at her and said "mannu room mein jaake aaram karo"

She nods and goes to her room. Ruhana calls Vineet, he answers her call in a second "haan"

"ghar aa jao... Deep aaya hai bahar" she spoke as she recognized his voice.

"aa raha hun" he said and ends the call.

Ruhana was concerned if Manvi sees him or talked to him, he will again play with her mind and manipulate her.

She goes out and sees Chintu grabbing Deep collar. "meri Di ke saath galat kiya hai aapne" he shouted.

All of the family members were present there. Ruhana said "Chintu chodo..."

He leaves him, Ruhana sighed deeply they came this time as Vineet was in office. It will be easier for them to talk.

Yamini folds her hands in front of her and said "namaste samdhanji... Ghar ki baat hai toh ghar mein baat kare?"

She was silent, it will take time for Vineet to return home. She asked "kya baat karni hai aapko?"

Deep comes forwards and starts his drama. He was shredding crocodile tears "Bahut badi galti ho gayi mujhse maine apni patni pe haath uthaya maaf kar dijiye mujhe"

Yamini said "uss din bahut dukhi tha mera bacha... Sab gussa biwi pe nikal diya! Lekin pyaar bhi toh ussise karta hai na..."

"pyaar karta toh iss tarah janwaro ki tarah bartaav nahi karta" Ruhana shouted.

"ek galti toh sabko maaf hoti hai na? Please mauka dijiye" Deep said.

The neighbors gather around the house.

"are bhai sasural waale khud lene aaye hai.. Bhej do wapas apne ghar"

Yamini asked "ye FIR karne se kya hoga? Bacho ki zindagi ka sawal hai hum baithke baat karte hai na"

"aap log please jayie" Ruhana said maintaining her calmness though they don't deserve such behaviour.

"Ruhana... Beti ke sasural waale hai acha nhi lagta yuh bahar rokke rakhna" Sharda said.

"aur inhone meri beti ke saath jo kiya woh sahi tha? She fired back.

"Ladki waale ho toh uss baat ka toh lihaj karlo..." one of the neighbours said.

Vineet arrives on his bike, parks it, and pushes away the neighbors. He glanced at everyone and asked "kya aap log tamasha dekhne aa jaate ho?"

"Tamasha toh tum log kar rahe ho! Ghar ka mamla hai toh ghar mein baat karo" the society secretary said.

Vineet sighed deeply, he gets inside the house. He eyed Ruhana and who signals Manvi is inside the room. He looks at the people, there is no point in creating any scene outside and he can't welcome them inside after what they have done to his daughter.
