KHUSHI AVIRAJ SINGH RATHOR'S POV

It's been two days since Aviraj and I talked about the choti ma and papa. yet I haven't thought what question I will asked him,why because I doesn't know anything. This morning everyone are busy with mom and dad's anniversary party's prepration. All the ladies are going to the market for shopping leaving me alone. Because Aviraaj is home today and there is no match between me and shopping you know 36 ka ankda. 

Today is a good opportunity to ask everything because after this everyone will be busy in preparations for the anniversary, so there will be no time for it. I went to my room after taking coffee and saw that no one is there in the room, after asking the servant, I came to know that he is in the study room. I went to the study, knocked on the door and went inside. Aviraj was reading some office files, I cleared my throat to get his attention towards me.

"Sit here on the chair in front or ask whatever you want to ask." He said without taking his eyes off the file. I kept staring at him without saying anything. then he looked at me or said again what you want

"How do I know if you're listening to me unless you look at me?" I complained.

"Hear goes through the ears, not through the eyes." he said while answering. Due to not saying anything for some time, he looked at me and kept his file beside me while sighing.

"ok so first question, why did chhoti ma do that, i mean why did she give poison to chhoti papa" i asked looking at him

"Because chote papa refused to divorce her." He kept both his elbows on the table or kept his hands under his chin said

"So you will not tell the whole thing. Only these one liners." I said with a frown

"Let me answer your questions, whether it's a line or a word  my choice," he said, looking at me expressionlessly.

"Second question, why did the choti mother want divorce and why chote papa did not give it." I sigh

"If you ask me for divorce, will I give it to you huh? no. about the question, then choti ma is sure that chote papa has cheated on her. that is why she did it."

"Last question, does... does Sanyukta know about this or if yes then how is she so happy." I thought

"Sometimes a person has to keep his/her sorrow inside themselves, we have seen her crying too, but now she shows that no one bothers her." He said looking out. Hearing this, I sat down holding my head, for some time we both sat quietly, without saying anything, without listening.

"If you are finished with your questions, you may leave. Close the door while leaving." He said this or started reading his file again. I got up from there or just ahead in the outside garden after my balcony where I feel relaxed. My thoughts with the cold of December and this loneliness with them. If I hate something, it is cheating because it can never be a compulsion, it is always a choice. There is an excuse for everything in this world but not for cheating. If this really happens , then I am with choti ma.

1 week later...

Today is mom and dad's anniversary, as soon as I wake up in the morning I have prepared their favorite food first. Just waiting for everyone to come. In a while everyone came, first mother and father touch aunt's feet or took blessings, then chote father and choti ma hugged and wished them both, after that we both took blessings by touching their feet and the children congratulated them. After having breakfast, everyone sat down in the  living room and then Ayaan asked while sitting next to his mother.
