Aayat - A Journey Of Sohbat

21.

" Shehnaaz " Ria spoke seeing her in the morning in Aditi's house.

" Kaise ho? " Shehnaaz asked hugging her, she had missed her all these years.

" Bus theek tu bata " She asked

" Voh kal...  " Ria was trying to say something but Shehnaaz sighed, she knew it already whatever happened she knew.
How? Because Aayat had been crying all night and Sidharth was fuming in anger as well, also Ria declined to come to their home because she was angry on Sidharth and hence she decided to stay here with Aditi and Maa, Naina on the other hand was back at her home because she didn't wanted to leave Yagya alone after all that happened

" It's okay Di, Mujhe.... Mujhe nhi karni uss barein main koi baat " Shehnaaz spoke politely

" Shehnaaz " Ria sighed

" I wasn't trying to character assassinate Aayat Shehnaaz, bachi hai voh meri " Ria still tried to justify

" I know Di, It's just.....
Nhi karni baat uss barein main, shadi ka ghar hai let it go I request you " Shehnaaz spoke with her eyes looking everywhere but not her, she was hurt....

But not necessarily from Ria, She was hurt from everyone around, Everyone including Sidharth and hence she was here to divert her mind from the toxic environment back there.

" Shaadi " Ria sighed
" Ek maa hai na Shehnaaz Tu, bata Aayat ko, ek aise ghar jaane degi jahan Maa Kon hai, Baap kon hai kuch ata pata hi na ho" Ria asked

" Haan, Kyunki Ladka galat nhi hai Di, Parivaar.....
Haan zaroori hai Parivaar kaisa ho jaan na, lekin Parivaar toh hum hai na Didi, Yahan rahegi jaise aaj tak reh rahi hai, Aur Yagya bura nhi hai, hum uske saath 6 saal se hai " Shehnaaz explained

She liked the Man! He was not bad, in fact he was everything Naina Needed, he brought that calm to her excited self, he brought her back home, Naina was someone who used to be away from home for months, Yagya made sure she comes back to these people every day and Shehnaaz couldn't be more thankful the only Thing that repulsed her from him was his bond with Aayat.

She had always envied the bond because Aayat looked herself with him, and she couldn't help but feel jealous of that yet she never wanted to keep them away because they were her kids after all, also Shehnaaz was equally close to Naina and so she never felt the need to hold her back.

" Lekin..... " Ria sighed, she couldn't tell how she felt that moment, it was as if everyone around were understanding her wrong, even her own mother and brother

" Main hoon uska bhai, Saga Will that work for you " Daksh spoke, he was to return a day after but Aditi shared all that happened and he couldn't help but feel bad for Yagya.

" Huh " Ria looked at him in disbelief

" I am sorry main disrespectful nhi hona chahta, I have always considered you my Sister Di, jaise aap Aditi ko maante ho, But Yagya Mera bhai hai and I won't allow you to call him illegitimate " Daksh spoke

" Tum uske bhai ho? " Ria asked again in disbelief
" We know you from 17 years Daksh, Your mother Father never even mentioned you having another sibling, 6 saal se Yagya yahan hai, Ek baar tum dono ko theek se baat karte nhi dekha humne " Ria spoke a little loudly

" Di" Shehnaaz spoke

" Tum bhi jaanti ho? Haina " Ria asked
" Matlab sab jaante hai mere alawa " She spoke
