Not Your Fairytale

16.She is my daughter

Rathore's haveli(mansion)

Mriganka- Where is Aarya?
Samrat- She is at home.
Mriganka -In Delhi?
Samrat -Yes
Mriganka -When and for how many days
Vijay enters by speaking "For the rest of her graduation"
Mriganka - Who decided this?She is not comfortable living at home.Let her stay at hostel.I want to talk to her.
Vijay -I am the one who decided this.Do you have any problem and you won't talk to Aarya for few days.I won't let her crocodile tears melt your heart at her stupidity.
Mriganka-What stupidity.She went to pub I know it's wrong for you but she is a youngster and she is habitual of partying in clubs.Why you are hyping up so much?
Vijay- This exactly this same attitude of yours has ruined her.She is partying with boys and girls who are drug addicts at late night and you think it's normal.
Mriganka-One of them does it and I have already talked to her about it.She doesn't talks to him now and I don't think so that guy was present in the party.
Vijay-You always talk nonsense.I have told you enough times to keep your South Bombay mindset out of my house.When you entered inside this house I had warned you enough to not impose this over modernized environment where you had been living at others and never expect it from me.
Mriganka-It was me who agreed to follow what you said not my daughter.
Vijay-First of all she is our daughter.Stop saying my daughter.
Mriganka-No no you are wrong here I did not get to decide anything about my three boys because as per this house they were raised away from me and I don't know anything about my own kids.I have only raised Aarya who was someone else's illegitimate child for this family since her birth.So I did not get to raise my kids and decide what's right for them.After getting medical proofs they accepted her as the daughter of this house so I don't think so anyone other than me in this family gets to decide what is best for her and what's not.
Vijay-Mind your tongue and stop repeating the same thing for which I have already apologized to you.I have a guilt for lifetime to keep my daughter away from me.
Mriganka-No it's not the guilt of keeping your daughter away from you.Its your mistake of throwing your wife out of your house on some baseless theories by some insensible and insensitive people.And I will not mind my tongue if it's about my daughter I won't let anyone in this house harm her or force things upon her.And I would repeat the same thing again and again .These are not my words which I am repeating it's what your family said to me while throwing me out of this house.
Vijay-No one in this family wants to harm Aarya.I want the best for her.She is my daughter too whether you accept it or not.And I wouldn't have said anything if you would have not taken the worst decisions for her.You are not able to decide for yourself what will you decide for her?
Mriganka-Why can't I ?I am her mother.I can't decide for myself because you never allowed me to.You always controlled me.But I am thankful to my family that they let Aarya enjoy her life not like me who was living in Mumbai but her remote control was in Jaipur.
Sameer walked out of the room he couldn't hear his parents fight anymore.
Vijay closed the door and moves towards her.His slow steps were very dangerous.His eyes piercing gaze met with Mriganka's stubborn eyes which held determination and strength to fight for her daughter.
Vijay-What kind of mother are you?A mother who taught her daughter to party around with boys at late night and come home drunk.A mother who taught her daughter to wear clothes that barely covers her body for the world to see.A mother who taught her daughter to have multiple affairs.A mother who taught her daughter to not respect her elders and hate her own family.I feel ashamed to say this about my daughter but this is true.I had to whitewash her image completely when she came here to live with us.I lied about so many things to my own mother so that our daughter can live peacefully and get acceptance here.But no you and Aarya had to spoil it.She doesn't respects me it's fine but what about others.She has no shame.I want to involve her in this family but she always keeps her mouth shut like she is a mute.And leave this ofcourse I get to control you whether you like it or not chalogi tum mere hi isharo par(you will dance on my tunes)
Mriganka -This is your problem Vijay you never try to understand her.You always try to impose things on her.And what did I teach her.I taught her to talk to elders respectfully but never to remain silent when someone questions your character like I remained quiet all my married life.I taught my daughter to enjoy her life but never to get involved in illegal businesses.I taught my daughter to make mistakes learn from it and move forward.I taught my daughter to engage with all kinds of people so that she knows how the world is.She can decide for herself whom she wants in her life and whom she doesn't.My daughter never wears short clothes here because your family doesn't likes it.She always wears suit and ethnic wear fully covered clothes Vijay because your family likes it but what she got in return...comments of being an illegitimate child.Do you have any fucking idea she was in depression for three years but your family thinks it's a lie because I wanted to gain sympathy for my daughter from others.Like seriously Vijay and you expect her to remain close to such people and talk to them who in every line taunt her for her existence.Saying your birth brought differences between your parents is the worst thing a child can hear about herself but still she listened it all and did not say anything.She kept it all inside her even when she was in depression. But she cannot listen anything about me she loves and respects me so much that she cannot tolerate my disrespect.She has seen the world that's why she is smart enough to not fall in the manipulative tactics of your dear mother and sister that's why they do not like her and do back bitching.And leave them.You call her your daughter right?What kind of father are you a father who wasn't even aware about his daughter's mental condition even when she was in this house for two years.You never tried to build any connection with her at an emotional level and you expect her to obey you and your orders like our elder sons do isn't it?You can manipulate my sons easily but not Aarya.She is very mature but she is also a child from inside.
You created rift between me and my sons.You are the one who is responsible for all this.If you were strong and mature enough to understand and accept your mistakes you wouldn't have faced this situation and me too I did not had to listen to all those nasty comments from my sons about how I left them when they were young.Go and tell them the truth Vijay.I left them or you separated me from them.You can't accept your mistakes.You are a good son a good brother but not a good father atleast not for Aarya and I know that Rana,Adi and Sameer may think you are the best father of the world but they don't know what you snatched away from them.So before raising questions on my parenthood keep your hand at your heart and think were you always right and I was at fault .Aarya wants her father's love.Have you ever looked at her eyes?She craves for your love Vijay.She wants assurance from you.She ll change herself completely if you start loving her like a father and not behave like a dictator with her.

Vijay had tears in his eyes but he kept a stoic face as if her words were meaningless.
Vijay-What about a good husband?
Mriganka-Do you think you are?
Vijay-No
Mriganka-You are my husband I am your dear slave wife what my husband says is always right so I accept it.Anything said by my husband is right other than stuffs related to my children.
Vijay-You are not my slave stop using that word.
Mriganka-JI HUKUM
Vijay wanted to say something but stopped and moved out of the room.
He breathed in fresh air and wiped off his tears which were on the verge of spilling from his eyes.
"Why God why did you do this to me.Its better if you would have killed me.I did not do anything right in my life.I am neither a good husband nor a good father.I am just a stupid bastard who has to ruin it all.But I can't let my feelings stop me from performing my duty.I can't let the murderers of my family members live in peace.I ll destroy them all even if it means destroying myself.I have promised my mother and sister I won't let anything hamper me from performing my duties.Aurat ek moh hai uske jaal me mat phans Vijay(Woman are just illusions don't fall in their honey trap Vijay)
