Hemadri's POV
It has been a month since I had returned home but my parents had hardly spoken to me. I was at home but was feeling like a stranger. I was in pain with the breakup but my parents' behaviour upsets me more. I just wanted their forgiveness.
I tried my best to convince them but nothing was working in my favour. One evening, my father was sitting outside. It was getting cold, so I took the jacket and said "papa thand bhad gayi hai aap ye pehen lijiye"
He glared at me "ye sab karke tumhe maafi nahi milegi"
"Kyun nahi papa?? Kya apne sapne pure karna galat hai?" I questioned
Rano eyed at her "Hema tum aise baat nahi karogi apne papa se" she said
"Maa main bas sawal kar rahi hun! Manti hun maine jo kiya galat tha shaadi waale din aise mujhe nahi jaana chahiye lekin mujhe mauka dubara nahi milta" I tried to explain.
"Apne maa baap ki ijzat uchalke tumne kya paa liya waha pe?" Alok questioned her.
I looked at him with moist eyes. I said "papa waha pe maine khudko sambhalna seekha hai.. Ye jaana hai ki zindagi jeene ke liye pati ki zaroorat nahi hoti hai! Bahut muskil aati thi usne maine akele ladai ki.. Aap dono ki bahut yaaad aati thi jab meri himmat toot jaati thi lekin kabhi maine haar nahi maani.."
He looked at me emotionally, I further added "sab mila waha par aap dono nahi isliye laut aayi.. Main janti hun bahut dil dukhaya hai maine aapka aur mumma ka par I promise ab wahi hoga jo aap dono chahte hai" I said holding his hand.
"Rehne de Hemadri.. Iss tarah baatein karke tum.." Rano spoke
"Maa.. please.." I requested her to forgive me.
Alok takes a deep breath "tujhe hamari maafi chahiye na.. Thik hai phir tujhe shaadi karni hogi" he said.
I looked on at him, Rano said "Alokji kyun aap phirse apni ijzat samaaj mein uchalwana chahte hai? Ye ladki phirse bhaag jayegi aur badnaami humhe uthani padegi"
"Manzur hai papa.. Aap jisse kahoge main usse shaadi karungi aap dono ko hurt nahi karungi dubara" I said, Rano was stunned hearing me. I run back inside the house and climbed the stairs. I entered the room and lay down on the bed.
Rano said "Alok ji aap phirse apni beti pe bharosa karke galti kar rahe hai"
"Nahi Rano ji.. uski aankh mein maine ajeeb sa dard dekha hai... aur bache galti karte hai hamara farz hai unhe maaf karna aur beti ghar laut aayi sahi salamat isse zyada kya chahiye haan?" Alok questioned her
"Lekin.."
"Ek mahine se hum kitni berukhi se usse baat kar rahe hai.. Phir bhi wo koshish kar rahi hai na humhe manane ki! Chahti toh wapas laut jaati par nahi gayi aur galat nahi kaha usne humne use wo azaadi nahi di jo ladki ko deni chahiye" Alok said trying to understand the action of his daughters.
Rano sighed deeply, he held her hand and said "maa baap hai hum Rano ji bache chahe muh pherle hum nahi pher sakte.."
Rano gets tears in her eyes, her heart finally melts hearing his words. "Sahi kaha aapne.. Main aur kator nahi ho sakti apni hi beti se.." she said
I remembered Aarav, the moments spent with him and with ease he broke up with me. I felt my father's presence in the room. I sat up straight and he sat down beside me. He looked at me and asked "iss baar tumpe apna faisla nahi thopna chahta hun.."
"Papa please.. Aap jo faisla lenge mere liye sahi hoga" I declared as I didn't want to hurt him more.
A smile appeared on his face and he finally keeps his hand on my head. I hugged him tightly and he caressed my head.
