Krishna was sitting in her bed while Kartik was feeding her porridge. Krishna had casted her eyes down not meeting her eyes with Kartik. Soon the porridge was finished and Kartik smiled in satisfaction.
Kartik : Hash chalo khatam ho gaya ab Krishna beta main na yeh rakh kar aata hu baad mein tumhe dawai de deta hu.
Krishna just nodded her head. She was mentally preparing herself for something which will pain her but it was necessary. Kartik come back with her medicines and gave her. She gulp down her medicines and looked at Kartik gathering all the courage inside her.
Krishna : Papa wo aap se kuch baat karni hai.
Kartik : Haan bolo na beta.
Krishna :(not looking into his eyes) Papa kal aap sab wapas Udaipur chale jana.
Kartik knew that this would be coming but this soon he wasn't expecting it.
Kartik : (holding her hands) Nahi beta hum nahi jayege specially tumhe aisi halat mein chod kar.
Krishna :(trying hard not to cry) Main thik hu Papa main apna khayal khud rakh sakti hu.
Kartik : Haan dikh raha kitna khayal rakhti ho tum kitni kamzor ho gai ho tum. Main kahi nahi jaa raha.
Krishna : Papa aap tension mat lijiye Arjun hai mere saath aur Aai aur baba (Arjun's parents) bhi aane wale hai kuch din mein.
Kartik was hurt that his daughter was more comfortable with her fiance's parents than him. But Kartik was not going to give up this soon. He will win back his daughter.
Kartik : Toh unhe aane do par main kahi nahi jaa raha.
Krishna : Par Papa aap kyu...
Kartik : (cutting her in between) Main kaise tumhe akele chod du beta.
Krishna :(losing her control) JAISE 14 SAAL PEHLE CHOD DIYA THA.
Kartik was shocked to hear her loud voice.
Krishna : Mujhe akela chod dijiye papa jaise 14 saal pehle chod diya tha aapne. Please papa mat aaiye mere paas kyuki is baar jab aap chod kar jaoge toh main seh nahi paungi tut kar bikhar jaungi. Itni himmat nahi hai mujh mein.
Kartik : Nahi chod kar jaunga tumhe beta aakhir beti ho tum meri papa hu main tumhara.
Krishna : Nahi Papa aap sirf kehne ke liye mere papa hai par asal mein aap sirf aur sirf Kairav aur Akshu ke papa hai.
Kartik : Yeh tum kya keh rahi ho? Aisa kuch nahi hai.
Krishna : Aisa hi hai papa. Main toh sirf bol rahi hu apne toh karke bataya hai. Yaad kijiye papa ki mumma ke jaane ke baad aisa ek pal bhi hai jo apne mere saath bitaya ho sirf mere saath bitaya ho. Nahi yaad kar payenge kyuki aisa kabhi hua hi nahi. Mumma ke jaane ke baad sab badal gaya papa sab, sabne mil kar mujhe akela kar diya. Mere pass koi nahi tha papa koi nahi.
Kartik : (cupping her face) Main tha beta ek baar toh mere paas aati. Family mein se kisi ke pass chali jati.
Krishna : Konsi family papa? Mumma ke jaane ke baad family bachi hi kaha thi. Mumma ke jaane ke baad sab bikhar gaya tha. Par dadi ashram chali gai. Akhilesh dadu aur Surekha dadi Luv Kush chachu ke saath London shift ho gaye. Gayu maasi Singhania family ke saath Cape Town chali gai. Dadu aur dadi business aur aapko sambhalne mein lag gaye. Kon tha mere liye papa kon? Aap? Aapko toh kisi baat ka hosh hi nahi tha sivay Kairav aur Akshu ke. Kairav ne homework kiya ki nahi, Akshu ko AC mein jayada thand toh nahi lag rahi. Kabhi apne aisa socha hai ki Krishna kaisi hai usne khana khaya ki nahi ya aaj usse school mein daat toh nahi padi. Aapka Kairav aur Akshu ko dekhe bina ek pal nahi guzarta aur mujhe dekhe aapko 7 saal ho gaye toh bhi koi farak nahi pada.
Kartik : Aisa nahi hai beta mujhe pata ki yeh 7 saal maine kaise bitaye hai tumhare bina.
Krishna : Kise jhut bol rahe hai papa mujhe pata hai aapko meri koi parwah nahi hai. Aapko sirf aur sirf Kairav aur Akshu ki parwah hai.
Kartik : Aisa bilkul nahi hai beta main tum teeno ki ek barabar parwah karta hu.
Krishna : Aap humari ek jaisi parwah karte haina toh bataiye ki kaha the aap when I got my first periods? Kaha the aap jab main 9th mein science ke test mein fail ho gai thi? Kaha the aap jab maine pehli baar kitchen kuch banaya tha? Main batati hu Papa aap tab Kairav aur Akshu ke saath the. Main apni zindagi ke haar ek mod par akeli thi papa. Koi nahi tha mere saath. (Crying hard) Kairav aur Akshu ne us accident mein sirf mumma ko khoya tha maine toh aapko bhi kho diya papa. Mumma ke jaane ke baad koi nahi tha jinki gud mein sar rakh kar jee bhar kar ro saku. Koi nahi tha jo mujhe meri galti par daat sake yaa meri achievements par mujhe appreciate kar sake. Kash us din mumma ke saath main bhi...
Kartik : (shouting and raising his hand to slap her) Krishna....
Kartik stops midway. Kartik just got up and went from there. Krishna kept crying. Arjun who was seeing all this from the door was about to go inside but Krish stopped him.
Krish : Nahi Arjun...
Arjun : Par Krish Krishna...
Krish : Uska ab akele rehna jaruri hai.
Arjun : Par..
Krish : Yeh aasu nahi hai 14 saal ka dard hai. Aaj agar yeh nahi beh toh Krishna andar se mar jayegi. In aansuon ka behna jaruri hai kyuki phir wo ek nayi shuruaat kar sakti hai.
Arjun reluctantly nodded and stayed back.
That's it for today..
How was the chapter??
