KHUSHI AVIRAJ SINGH RATHOR'S POV

It's been a week since I came home from the hospital. Today I have to go to the hospital again. To see whether I am recovered  or not. Aviraj was about to go with me but he had an important meeting so I said him that I will go with Adriti. He has done very little work for a week, and I only wanted him not to take any more leave or be negligent in his work. I and Adriti reached the hospital and met Dr. Patel, after I got checked, he told me

"You look fine now Mrs. Rathor. Your tiredness must have reduced as well as weakness. Now you just keep taking this medicine and then you will be absolutely fine." I nodded and asked

"Dr Patel, I wanted to ask you what kind of poison was this and it is difficult to use. I mean is it illegal or not." i asked the doctor

"It is not illegal but not everyone can afford it. And this is the same poison that was given to Mr. Vikram Rathod." The doctor said and we both came out of the hospital. Adriti was driving and I was looking outside while thinking about doctor's words, then Adriti said worriedly

"Khushi, I don't think you should stay there anymore. Aviraj had an accident a few days ago and now you are poisoned, what if anything happens to you."

"Nothing happens to me" I said looking outside

"How are you saying this with so much confidence? I know you from childhood, if you are saying something then there will be some reason behind that. now tell me?" Aditi applied brakes and asked looking at me

"Because there was only one purpose behind giving this poison, I did not ask anything to anyone. You know that I tried to talk to the choti ma, I thought about the chote papa that something else can happen besides what we all are saying, until we listen to both sides, how will we know which side is true and which one is wrong." I said while looking at her

"jis ghar mein divaaro ke bhee kaan hote hain vahaan aapane raaj nahin batae jaate. agar ye jabaan khaamosh hai to use khaamosh hee rahane do is khaamoshee ka raaj bahot gahara hai agar yah raaj khul gaya too kaee shareeph benakaab ho jaayenge." (In the house where the walls also have ears, you do not tell secrets. If this tongue is silent, then let it remain silent, the secret of this silence is very deep, if this secret is revealed, many decents will be exposed.) These are the words of choti maa when I talked to her about it. Hearing this adriti was shocked and said

"Bro, I wanted adventure in my life, but not this much to blast my mind." I chuckle and and said yeah. Adriti start the car and ask me with a teasing tone

"By the way, your birthday is coming in a few days. what are your plans, to spend sometime with jiju and go on a romantic date." 

"jiju, huh?. when this happened?" I asked while try to maintain a strict face.

"That day when you got jealous seeing that girl with aviraj. And that too I just had a doubt but your blush confirmed it." Aditi said with a smile

"Nothing like that, Adriti. You know. Ayesha Di should have been in my place. Whatever is mine today would have belongs to her. This family, that place, that love, that room and...'' I left my words unfinished because I didn't have the courage to complete them.

"And this husband. Huh?" Aditi said while completing my words. I nodded sighing looking outside but  Adriti said

"yaad hai too hee hamesha kahatee hai, kee jo bhee bhagavaan karata hai usame hamaara achchha hee chhupa hota hai. hamen ek baar vo baat achchhee nahin lagatee par baad mein hamen ehasaas hota hai ki jo kuchh bhee hua vo sahee tha, hamaare bhale ke lie tha. ab too hee bhool rahee hai apanee baat."(Remember, you always say that whatever God does, our good is hidden in it. Once we do not like that thing but later we realize that whatever happened was right, it was for our good. Now you are forgetting your point.) Aditi reminded me
