MUDDLED LIFE (COMPLETED)

Chapter 14

As Aman and Sonia left with Vaishnavi.

Aarya's maa: Aap log thora aaram kar le.

Vibha: Haa... Phir hume bhi nikalna hai aur 3 ghante ka rasta hoga.

Jayant: Jaa aarya apni sasu maa ko kamra dikha. Tu aur damad ji tere kamre me aaram kar lo.

Aarya nodded. She gestured to Abhishek and Vibha. They followed her and left. As Jayant said. The three followed, not wishing to mess with Jayant and invite problems.

As Aarya and Abhishek reached Aarya's room. Abhishek dialled Siddharth's number and spoke with him about Vaishnavi's hospital and every detail regarding her health and treatment. Aarya sat on the couch, lost in thoughts.

As he hangs up the call.

Aarya: Sab theek hai?

Abhishek (busy checking Vaishnavi's details on the phone): Hmm... Siddharth ne sab arrangements kar li hai. Vaishu in an hour hospital pahuch jayegi. Avni ne bahar ek aur team bheji hai for us.

Aarya: Sir?

Abhishek looked at Aarya.

Abhishek: Haa bolo?

Aarya: Main kya soch rahi thi. Aap aur aunty yaha se bhaag jao. Police hai aapke surrounding me. Aap safely nikal jaoge.

Abhishek: Aur tum?

Aarya (wetting her lips): Hum... Hum yehi rahege. Aap jao uske baad hum sab ko sab samajha dege. I will make sure ke koi aapko tang na kare.

Abhishek: Meri life to set ho jayegi. What about yours? Tum samajhaogi to maybe ye log mujhe chor de but what about you? Tum rehne dege ye log shanti se?

Aarya (fiddling her fingers): Sir... Humari shaadi to already chacha ji ke sath tay ho chuki thi. Vo to aap pata nahi kaha se aaye humare masiha ban kar. Hum ye kuch pal sapna samajh bhul jayege aur jo zindagi thi humari vahin jiyege.

Abhishek (holding her hands): Masiha agar main ban kar aaya tumhari life me. To tum bhi to meri aur khushi ki life ki masiha ban kar aayi na. Hum sab to Vaishu ke death rituals kar aaye the. Ye maan chuke the vo mar gayi hai. Tum aayi aur hume sach ka pata chala. Tum chahti to sach chupa sakti thi na. Bhai ko phone kar bol sakti thi maar do.

Aarya (looking down): Sir hum Dada ke behan jarur hai par unke jaise nahi.

Abhishek: That's my point. Tum alag ho to kyun inke sath apni life kharab karni hai.

Aarya: To kaha jayege hum? Sir shayad Duniya ke liye hum 18+ hai, adult hai. But sach ye hai ke hum nahi jante ye duniya. Ghar ke kaam karna sikh liye iska matlab ye to nahi ke Zindagi jeena seekh liye. Humare parivar wale ye nahi samajhte. Unhone to ek pal ke liye nahi socha ke kya hum maa banne ke liye tayyar hai. Aapse shaadi to kara di. Ek baar bhi ye sawal nahi aaya kisi ke bhi man me ke uski beti hai choti. Tu sab apna payegi. Arey! Aapse shaadi kara ke bhej diya jaa. Aap ho kaun, kya ho kuch puchna to socha tak nahi. Hum apne parivar par vishwas nahi kar sakte apni zindagi ke liye. Aap bataye kisi anjaan par vishwas kaise kare? Hum padhe likhe nahi ke khud paise kama apni life jiye. Kaise jiye hum ye zindagi? Na age, na koi apna, na paise. Hum hai hi kya?

By the end, tears brimmed in her eyes. A sob escaped from her mouth.

Aarya (wiping her tears): Aapko sach bataya par bahut man kiya ke sach chupa kar apni nayi zindagi shuru kar le. Par baat ye hai ke hum to vo tutti hui doll hai. Jo kisi ko pasand nahi sab phekne dena chahte hai. Par Ma'am vo na ek dum pyaari si, chahiti doll hai. Vo doll ka gudda bhi uske liye ro raha tha, uska parivar bhi usse yaad kar raha hai. Hum aaj nahi to kal kisi kachre ke dabbe me hi milne wale hai. Kam se kam vo princess ko unka prince aur parivar to milega. Jab kal jate time car me aapne bola ye shaadi aapke liye kuch nahi hai aap ma'am se kiya wada pura karna chahte ho. Mujhe dukh nahi hua. Mujhe iski umeed thi hi. Par khushi kab hui pata hai jab aapne Ma'am and aapki beti ke liye sab kiya. Jab aapne unki khushi and safety ka socha. Tab laga haa aese bhi log hai. Tab laga har koi beti ko tutti hui doll nahi samajhta. Tab khushi hui aapke aankho me izzat dekh kar apni biwi and beti ke liye. Dar tha man me ke pata nahi aap ho kaun, kya pata gusse me mere sath kuch kar do to. Baba ko bahut baar dekha hai maa ko marte hue. Dar tha kahin vo sab na ho. Par jab izzat dekhi na. Sab dar ek pal me khatam hua.

Abhishek: Thank you so much humare liye itna sochne ke liye. Pata hai Aarya, Princess ko prince milna. Unki life perfect story tale hona is so common but what's unique is ek tutti hui doll khud se mehnat kare aur khud ko us princess se zyada wali position dilaye, vo tutti hui doll ko prince milna. Asli story ki heroine to tutti hui doll hoti hai. Jo benchmark set karti hai, inspiration banti hai. I want you to be that heroine. Mana tum duniya par trust nahi karti par ek baar mujhe and meri family ko chance deke dekho. I promise. We will support you in every way. Khud ko ek chance deke dekho. Tumhara 12th complete karna hai tumhe. Aage ki studies. You are career-oriented. You can be what you want to be. Na ki kisi elderly man ki wife ban, uske bache sambhalo. For now, you should focus on your studies and career. Jab tumhe tumhara prince milega main khud tum dono ki shaadi karauga. You will be princess for someone. You deserve this world. Aur Vaise bhi tumhari family jail me jayegi. Tum yaha kya karogi akele?

Aarya (looking down): Bura lag raha hai aese apne hi parivar ko jail bhejna padega par sach bolu to koi guilt nahi hai. Aese lag raha hai unki galati ki saza hai to haa sahi hai. Haa hum chalege. Nayi zindagi bhi shuru karege. Apne liye jiyege.

Abhishek (patting her head): That's like a worrier. Tum bilkul bhi tension nahi lena. Tum security, safety, career, marriage. Sab meri responsibility hai.

Aarya nodded with a small smile and tears in her eyes. Just than Abhishek's phone rang. He saw caller ID Avni.

Abhishek: Tum rest karo Aarya. Main Vaishu ke updates ke liye Sid and Avni se connected hoon.

Aarya nodded. She took a book and sat reading. Though, she took a book to read but her whole attention was on her thoughts. How her life took changes of a roller coaster.

Skips to sometime later.

It was almost evening time. Everyone was having tea and snacks.

Vibha: Chai pi kar hum nikalte hai. Ghar pahuchte raat ho hi jayegi.

Sarpanch: Vaise to humara man nahi aapko jane dene ka. Par samajh sakte hai. Aate rahiyega.

Vibha nodded with a fake smile. After bidding bye to all. Abhishek, Aarya and Vibha were leaving. When Jayant took his gun and made a shot towards Vibha.

THE END

Comment down what next? Also, wait for epilogue.

Thanks for all the love 💕
