ManYa - Dheere Dheere se... (Continuing)

Chapter 33 - Amaya is Disowned!

Earth beneath Sumitra's foot slipped when she saw Mantu behind the sehra. Sneha dropped on the chair as tears flowed from her eyes. Amaya was shocked. "Mantu...behind the sehra....where is Rama and Rachi di..." She instantly removed her veil and held his hand. Tears flowed from her eyes. She married Mantu. She married her love. She was about to fall when Mantu supported her with his strong arms. His eyes assured her that everything is fine. Sneha was shocked seeing Amaya. Both bride and groom are exchanged. Sumitra lost her cool as she shouted, "Where is Rama? Where is my son? Where the hell is my son?" Mantu stood there calmly and he was listening everything. "Jazz make sure no one is listening us or recording. This is a very sensitive topic. Rudra may not be enough.", said Mantu and Jazz calmly nodded and went away to see the dining hall.

"Ahh! What was your question? Where is Rama? So the answer is, he is about to come, he went to the mandir with Rachita di, to marry her.", said Mantu as he smiled sarcastically. He tightened his grip on Amaya's hand as she stood up and heard him. Sneha stood up and stepped forward. She stood in front of Amaya and said, "I was right na Amaya. You are an immature woman. I thought that I was wrong but you again proved me right by doing this. But what is the sense. You wanted to marry Mantu. You should have told me but this....I am ashamed of calling you my daughter." And she raised her hand to slap her but Mantu stopped her hand by holding it. Amaya closed her eyes as she was expecting a hit but nothing happened. She opened her eyes slowly and saw Mantu holding her mother's hand.

"When you slapped her previously I couldn't stop you, because that time she was your daughter and had no relationship with me. But now, she is your daughter but my wife as well. And I can't allow anyone ANYONE to slap my wife; not even her mother." Sneha brushed her hand as she shouted, "You ruined Rachita's life, I will never forgive you both." Mantu very calmly replied, "We didn't do anything aunty. Ask Sumitra aunty. She very well knew that Amaya is under the veil. Ahh! She didn't knew that I'm also under the sehra. But she wanted Rama to marry Amaya and not Rachita." Sumitra went pale. She didn't know how to reply. "He is lying, I don't know anything. Are you watching him. How can you do this Mantu, I treated you like a son...", said Sumitra after a pause.

"I wish you could treat your own son like a son, aunty.", said Mantu and mamaji grabbed him from his collar. Amaya who was quiet since then tried coming between the men but Mantu pulled her back and said, "Stay away Amaya. And please don't argue." Amaya looked at him with a teary eye and stood behind holding his hand. "How dare you say like that, hooligan. Babuji was right, you always had an eye on our house girls. Bad blood will always remain the same. You lower middle class people don't have any manners or respect. Sneha and daughters told me that you are a good man. How could you do this. Now we will tell you, what we Chaubey's can do", and he punched Mantu. Amaya shivered as she saw Mantu falling on the floor. She ran towards him and joined her hands to stop this. She was crying.

Mantu got up quickly and didn't react. His parents never taught him to raise a hand on elderly or on family members and mamaji was both. Blood was flowing down near his eyes. Amaya slowly touched it as she cried. Mantu held her hand and got up. She also got up and stood behind him. Mamaji was again coming to beat him but Amaya walked in front of him as she shouted "STOP!! That's it! One more word against Mantu Mamaji and I'll forget that you share a blood relationship with me. You can't beat him like this. It was all my planning. I knew everything. He just did what I told him to. Don't even dare to say anything to him; he is my husband. I have had enough of you and your mahaan babuji insulting my Mantu again and again. I love him. I love him so much." Amaya cried loudly.

Sneha was shocked that how can her upbringing be so selfish and heartless. "Amaya did all the planning. Amaya ruined her sister's life for her love. Amaya ruined Rachita's life. My Rachu...", thought Sneha. She came near her as she slowly said, "What will you forget haan. I announce, that you are dead for me. Amaya Mathur, now wife of this man standing right here is dead for me. I disown you Amaya." Amaya stood stunned as Mantu held Amaya to prevent her from falling. "Amaya...", said Mantu softly. "Bhaiya, throw this dead person out of our house....", said Sneha as she turned away from Amaya. Amaya was staring at her mom who once again proved that she never can trust her daughter. Mamaji took Amaya's arm harshly and was about to give a jerk when Mantu said, "She is my wife, I'll take her with me." He grabbed Amaya's hand and left Chaubey haveli.
