Chapter 24

Recap -

Anirudh tched and said, "Are baba promise! Aab toh bol do! Kya baat karni hai tumhe! Kab se bas baat ghuma rahi ho!"

Aahi nodded and said, "Thik hai baba bol ti hu, Mai aap se ye kehna chahati hu ki......"

Current -

Aahi taking a deep breath said, "Dada aap na aapke andar jo dukh hai na, mujhe bata dijiye, aur Shaddi Wale incident ko jitni jaldi accept kar sakte ho kijiye."

Anirudh looked at Aahi with mixed feelings, emotional about his situation and angry about the fact that Aahi is telling him to accept the fact that he has married a child.

He then looked at her with emotional eyes and asked, "Ye kya bol rahi ho Aahi tum? Ase kase accept karlu ke Bondita jo ek bachi hai, jisko abhi padh ne aur Masti karne mai dhyan dena chahiye wo mujhe Pati Babu bula ti hai, Mai kuch bhi karlu ye baat nahi maan sakta, tumhe pata hai, mai uss raat ko Saudamini ko mai Shaddi ke liye propose kar ne wala tha, chalo, Maine uspe give up kar diya, par tumhe pata hai kitna muskil tha mere liye ye sab?"

Aahi looked at him with soft expressions as she was feelings sad for him. She didn't know about what just her brother shared and she understood why he can't accept this fact as well.

Aahi wanting to make everything right so no one is more hurt said, "Dada mere sath bhi kuch esa hua tha jo mujhe laga mai kabhi nahi bhula pau gi but Diana ne meri help ki umne mujhe ye sab se nikal ke wapis Aahi banaya."

After a pause she continued, "Mai aapko ye sab bol rahi hu kyuki agar maine situation ko accept nahi kiya hota toh mai past may reh jati, kabhi zindagi mai aage nahi bad pati. Agar aap reality accept kar le gai toh aap Bondita se close ho paye gai, close matlab aap guilty nahi feel karenge ya aapko buri yaadein bhi yaad nahi aayegi aur woh aap ko apna pati bole toh bhi aapko bura nahi lage ga. Jo bhi aap feel karte ho mere sath share kar lijiye, ro na hai toh ro dijiye, but aapko aapke betterment ke liye past aur present jaldi accept kar na padega. Isse aap Bondita ko bojh nahi ek ladki ke jese dekho gai. Jisse Bondita ka hi bhala hai, because usko toh ye sab pata he nahi hai, uski koi galti nahi hai, ya aapki bhi, woh toh sirf halat ese ho gaye the..... aur uski koi galti nahi hai, uske liye toh app uske pati Babu he hai, sach toh ye he hai, toh woh ye deserve nahi kar to, plus hum sab aapke sath hai aapko support karne ke liye toh aap apne emotions under mat rakye."

Anirudh who was listening to her realized that she was right, he couldn't hold back his tears anymore, Aahi was the only one who thought about his feelings, everyone just gave up on him saying Bondita is his responsibility and told him to take care of her, he knows that they were right but even he wasn't prepared for this, all this was unexpected, plus Bondita is a child who is very curious about the world and yet so simple minded it was hard for him to keep his emotions calm.

While he was crying Aahi went to him and hugged him while giving him words of comfort. Hearing them Anirudh told her everything about what he felt while everything was going on and how hard it was for him emotionally.

Aahi listened to him patiently letting him pore all his emotions out.

After calming down Anirudh breaks the hug and said, "Thank you Aahi, ab mujhe bohot better feel ho raha hai, mujhe pata hai ab ke I'm not alone. You are right about Bondita, for her this marriage is real and she has not done anything wrong."

Aahi smiled and said, "And remember, even you have not done anything bad, instead you did something no one would do. I really respect you for that brother, as a girl myself that made me feel better and as a sister this made me really proud of you."

Anirudh smiled and said, "Ab mujhe pata chala ki mujhe pilaya kyu ja raha tha." Aahi looked at him curiously, does he really know?

Anirudh then continues, "Tuhme mujse ye bare mai baat kar ni thi issilye, hai na?" Aahi getting caught sheepishly nodded and said, "Haan dada."

Anirudh then says, "Aacha kiya tumne, mai kabhi ye baat kisi se nahi kar pata, kyuki tumse phele idhar koi nai tha jisse mai baat kar saku."

Aahi smiled happy about being help to him. Anirudh then asks, "Aahi waise tum kyu bhagi thi ghar se?"

Aahi froze hearing the question. She knew this would be asked someday but she was not ready to answer. Seeing Aahi like that Anirush felt bitter, but knowing she wasn't ready to answer that question he said, "Chalo jo bhi ho, agar tum jati nahi toh gold medalist kese ban ti?"

Aahi seeing the topic changes sighed in relief and said, "Wahi toh, mai aapse kabhi nahi haru gi. After all I'm the best."

Anirudh who was now sleepy feel asleep while smiling. Aahi smiled seeing her brother finally sleeping peacefully and covering him with a blanket she left for her room.

Lying down on her bed she thought, "Will the day when I have to tell everyone the truth every come? I don't know what they will think about it, about me, even though I know it's not my fault but what if they start hating me again? It's better that the reason should be with me alone, I will inform Som as well, to forget what happened. That would be the best for everyone." Deciding to hide the reason forever she slowly fell asleep not knowing that she will have to face her past ver soon.
