Hamari Raahein

Ch.41- The unforeseen

Author's pov

No matter how deep the darkness is, with the passage of time the morning sun always arrives...And in the same way, the night where every single star was replaced with tears, whose darkness had engulfed every heart in its grip, Somehow has passed but today no one is happy about the rays of the new sun.

Tarini was sleeping on her stomach on the bed, because due to her wounds she was not able to lie down straight. Even though Robin himself was broken, he was adamant on having courage for his sisters. Stayed awake the whole night, sometimes taking care of Ridhi and sometimes taking care of Tarini. Hs could not breathe peace until he put both of them to sleep like his own children..

Her eyes were swollen from crying, there were dry marks of tears on the cheeks. The make-up done by a friend while celebrating the happiness of her friend's love was snatched away by the clutches of sadness.

Even though Robin himself was broken, he was adamant on having courage for his sisters. Stayed awake the whole night, sometimes taking care of Ridhi and sometimes taking care of Tarini. There was no peace until he put both of them to sleep like his own children.

All three of them were children indeed...those children whose fate deprived them of everything and made them yearn for every happiness.Those children who were forced to grow up ahead of time and before their age.Those children who lost their childhood and youth but could never find their home, Kids who were forced to live the life of nomads.

The moonlight of wealth and fame was a curtain, or should we say, a bandage on the eyes of the world. Due to which the world could not see the bodies of these three burnt in the fire of sorrow. The shameless thing is that this fire has never been extinguished, and will never be extinguished. The rings of the heart have been torn but they will not heal.

But a brother was ready to bear countless wounds for his sisters and also to heal every wound for them. And in this effort, seeing Tarini sleeping deeply, Robin very carefully brushed the cotton soaked in medicine on Tarini's injury.

Tarini was barely sleeping. She woke up crying out in pain like a fish without water. She clenched the bedsheet tightly. When she gazed back, Robin was looking at her with a very worried and sorry face.

"Sorry, thoda jalega par teri chot jaldi theek ho jayegi. Mujhe laga tu so rahi thi, Taru."

Tarini panted for air as the pain gradually became bearable for her. She blankly stared at the maroon curtains of her room's window blocking the sunlight from coming in.

"Acha hota na Bhai agar sare zakham sirf thoda sa jalte aur bhar jate?"

The wounds on the body will heal but the medicine to heal the heart's wound was not sold in the markets and is not sold even today when we claim that life has become very advanced and everything is on the go.

"Hamari jholi bahut choti hai shayad...khushiyan hum sambhal nahi payenge, ye soch ke bhagwan sirf dukh deta aya hai. Ab tak to humein hi adaat ho jani chahiye thi, thokare khate rehne ki.

Par kya hai na hum bhagwan ke thode khaas-ziddi bacche nikle. Dukhon se darna to kya tha humne dukhon ko hi kacha chaba jane ki kasam khali hai.

Tu chinta mat kar, har zakham bharega, Tarini."

Robin said while caressing Tarini's head lovingly. Meanwhile, Ridhi also woke up from sleep and came to the same room whilst rubbing her eyes. Her appearance wasn't any better either, she too had some swelling on her face, puffiness around the eyes and a very dull face.

"Mood gorning you two. Aap dono uthe to mujhe thaya kyu nai?"

Ridhi had a habit of not speaking the words correctly when she was sleepy, which only sometimes came to light. Ridhi often liked to stay mum in the morning because she was aware of this habit.
