46: Happy bday Sadu

Unedited, might have typos sorry for that

~•☘️•~

The planned happy moment turned gloomy, her father left immediately, even though her mother wanted to stay she stay leaving her husband, she left both her daughters reluctantly and left. Soon ishqi, ahaan, ashu and anu also decided to leave, the before journey felt so cute and beautiful, but now it was gloomy and sad. They dropped ashu off in the malhotra house and went for their mission.

12:30 the clock read in the living room of Malhotra House, still no sign of Ahaan, Ishqi, Anisha and Karthik, the phone calls weren't been picked up, the restlessness was bubbling up in her, waiting since past 2 hours in the same living room and still no response has increased her heart's pace, but then finally the car honk calmed her.

They 3 entered the house carefully not to make any noise, but to their surprise the light was already on, before they could know they were pulled into a hug by ashlesha

"Phone kyun nahi utha sakte the yaar, patha hai kitna darr laga" comes out of the hug

"Chill dude and..." ahaan was being cut off ishqi

"Don't you dare, ahaan" points out her finger at him and goes near ashlesha and wraps her hands tight around her, she didn't complain just returned the hug with the same love and affection.

"Happy birthday sadu" she whispers but still it was audible to her, a smiles forms on her lips, in the chaos of few hours she did forget her birthday, and now she got the point she wanted to wish her first before ahaan

"Thank you" comes out of the hug, and before anything she was again pulled into a hug by her own sister and then by ahaan, she thanks all of them heartfully

"Karthik kaha hai?" her face still showed restlessness

"Vo car mai hai, mai lekar aata hun, ishqi tum ashu ko leke jao"

"Vo khud kyun nahi aa sakta hai, aur mujhe usse dekhna hai"

"Awwww, mujhe dekhna hai, so cuteeeeeeee" a slurring voice interrupts them, when they look up there, Karthik was hardly standing, his shirt was all crumbled, messed up hair, swollen red eyes, the same karthik which she saw on the streets months ago.

She just runs to him before he could fall and holds him, now when she saw him more close, the eyes held sadness, a wave of guilt hits her, she gulps down the lump forming in her throat

"Kyun?" more like a whisper
"Tumhare baap, soryyyyyy tumhare pujya pithashree ke meethe baate dil pe lag gaye" rests his head on her shoulder

"Maine kaha tha na strict diet, that included no alcohol, yaad nahi?" she asks meekly

"Kyun maan na hai tumhari baat mujhe? Kyun maan na hai mujhe kisi ke baat, hote kon ho tum sab mujhe order karne ke liye, jo mann mai aate ho bol dete ho, usko kitna hurt hota hai socho hi nahi, upar jitna khush dikhtha hun utna khush nahi hun mai, my career is at stake understand? Par nahi sabko apne judgements pass karni hai" he voices out moving away from her.

"Stop it karthik, you are drunk we will talk tomorrow" ahaan moves towards karthik
"Today ya tomorrow meri life ki sabse badi galti patha hai kya? Tumse pyaar karna" says it on her face, her breath gets stuck at the moment, the words which she never wanted to hear hit her, at least not when she wanted to confess her feelings to him, no words forming from her mouth, her eyes held pure shock.

The brothers had a word shout but nothing was audible, his words kept repeating to her, it made sense to her, if he wouldn't have met her he would be playing for the next series, he would have been happy in life without waiting for someone, he would have much clarity in life, yes it was a mistake before her thoughts continue a weight fell on her front, he fell on her mumbling her name, she didn't realize tears were falling from her eyes until her tears were falling on his face.
