TRAGEDY TO TREASURE (COMPLETED)

Chapter 47

Once Reem slept. Avneet sat in front of Vaishnavi.

Avneet: You okay?

Vaishnavi nodded.

Avneet: You know you are nowhere at fault. So, you shouldn't feel guilty or embarrassed.

Vaishnavi (looking at Avneet): Aren't you ashamed-

Avneet (with a proud smile): No... I am proud of you. You are really strong. I must say Reem is so lucky to have you as a mother.

Vaishnavi (With happy tears): Thank you...

Avneet (wiping Vaishnavi's tears): Always remember if you need anyone as your friend to share your pain and feelings. I am there with you.

Vaishnavi nodded with a small smile.

Avneet: Chalo abhi breakfast kar lo then take rest. Don't worry about anything. We are with you.

Avneet made her eat breakfast and then Vaishnavi slept with Reem.

Meanwhile, Abhishek and Siddharth. After Avneet went inside.

Siddharth: Aa Abhishek baith mujhe kuch kaam hain tujhse.

They sat on the chairs outside the room.

Abhishek: Haan bata...

Siddharth: Jo bhi andar bola tune vo sach tha?

Abhishek: Umm... hmm... I hope tu-

Siddharth (cuts him): Mat soch negative. I am with you. She has gone through a lot. I am proud of you bhai...

Abhishek gave him a small smile.

Siddharth: Hmm... Jis hisab se tune aaj Vaishnavi and Reem ke liye fight ki. That was something our mothers need. Vo har waqt har ladki ko blame, body shame, disrespect nahin kar sakti. but Abhishek tu sure hain na apne decision ko leke ke tujhe unke liye har haal me ladna hain. Kahin bhi tu thora week hua I bet humari dono maa 2mins nahin lagayegi Reem and Vaishnavi ko teri life se kick karne ke liye. Be frank, they are waiting for this only. Unko jaise chance they will be ready to attack. Bhai tujhe un dono ke liye ladna hoga. Maa ke pyaar se samne weak mat hona.

Abhishek (sighed): Hmm.... main vahin soch raha tha. Halki si opportunity and vo dono pura kaam apne hisab se kar degi. Nahin jane duga Reem and Vaidhnavi ko khud se door. Har tarike se laduga.

Siddharth (patting Abhishek's back): We are with you and we are proud of you.

Abhishek nodded with a small smile.

Siddharth: Chal?

Abhishek nodded. They went inside the room to see Vaishnavi and Reem sleeping.

Abhishek: Breakfast kiya?

Avneet: Yeps...

Siddharth: Tu ghar jaa fresh ho kar aa. Hum dono hain yaha tab tak.

Avneet: Haan...

Abhishek: But-

Avneet: Dono so rahi hain. Jao fresh ho jao. Phir aa kar baithna.

Abhishek nodded.

Skips to evening...

Vaishnavi, Reem and Abhishek were in the hospital. Reem was with Abhishek. Vaishnavi was sleeping because of a heavy dose.

Reem (patting Abhishek's cheek): Papa...

Abhishek (looking at Reem): Haan bache...

Reem: Papa maa chalo...

Abhishek: Kaha chale?

Reem: Haa gagagaga...

Abhishek (raising his eyebrow): Vo kya hota hain?

Reem (angrily): Eeee...

Abhishek: Aese papa par gussa karte hain?

Reem (innocently): Naa...

Abhishek: Bad manners. Maa uthe to main gussa karuga bahut. Aese bad manners sikhaye meri Rimi timi ko...

Reem held her ears and pouted. Abhishek giggle.

Reem (pecking Abhishek's cheek): Maa naa...

Abhishek: Okay baba nahin karta main gussa Reemi ki maa par.

Reem giggle. Vaishnavi woke up. She saw them and smiled.

Vaishnavi: Kya baate chal rahi hain?

Abhishek and Reem saw her.

Abhishek: Reemi papa par gussa kar rahi hain.

Vaishnavi (dramatically): Haww!!!

Reem: Haww!!!

Abhishek and Vaishnavi chuckled, looking at Reem. Reem pecked Vaishnavi's cheek.

Abhishek (faking crying): Reemi ko maa hi chaye. Papa nahin chaye...

Reem frown. She pecked Abhishek's cheek. He smiled. She again pecked his cheek for few times.

Vaishnavi: Papa kitne drame karte hain.

Abhishek (rolling his eyes): Main drama karta hoon? Abhi tum dono haw haw kar rahe the?

Vaishnavi laugh at Abhishek's behaviour. So, Abhishek couldn't control his laugh. Looking at them Reem too joined them.
