Whispers Of Hearts ( Completed )

Chapter - 9

Recap: Archana and Madan lash out on Krish. Myra deny when Krish question if she loved him

***************

Archana was seated next to Madan looking at anything but Krish who he held his mother's hand and knelt before kissing her knuckles. Archana gulped trying extremely hard to hold her tears. If Myra wanted to hide her love and if that would help heal her then she would do blindly. With a smile forced on her lips she looked at Krish, with her heart still bleeding for her little girl who had left masking her shattered heart and soul behind her painful smile.

Krish: Maa, what should I do now ?

Archana: Give us some time and you too get back to your work. Everything will happen at the right time.

Krish: You forgave me right ?

Archana: What do you exactly want Krish ? Do you want to us to fix the date and get you married as if nothing happened ? We forgive you but give us some time to move on.

Krish: Move on ? From what ?

Archana: You won't understand Krish so please stop questioning and it would be better you get back to your work or go to Bangalore and stay there as long as you want. Afterall it would not be your first time you stayed there. I m not taunting you, just stating the fact.

Madan: Your mother is right. Hope you will give us the time we wanted.

Krish nodded his head and retired to his room to update everything to Roshni. Archana and Madan too retired to their room and she plopped on the floor sobbing while Madan stood by the window hiding his own tears.

Myra was in her room looking at the gifts, cards, dried remains of the flowers. Vasundra entered holding a plate in her hand and sat next to Myra.

Vasundra: Myra, you haven't ate anything since last night. Now open your mouth and I will feed you.

Myra: I m not hungry maa, please leave me alone.

Vasundra: Myra, starving is not a solution for anything. Please forgive me Myra. I failed as a mother in protecting you. I should have seen through his facade and saved you but I was too blinded and today you are suffering because of us. Atleast I should have not teased you or encouraged you so I m at fault too. We failed as parents.

Myra: No maa, its not your fault. You are the best parents. You never wanted me to fall in love. I was the one assumed everything and you all supported me when you got to know my love for him. Its my destiny that I had to lose my love. No one is to be blamed.

Vasundra: Please throw away all these gifts Myra. Looking at them will not help you get over this.

Myra: These gifts, cards and flowers showed me real love and some day if given a chance I will question him. Why did he gift me all these if he didn't love me. Why did he care for me and protect me when didn't love me ? Why did he thrash those boys who tried to misbehave with me if he didn't love me ? I m still preserving these chocolate wrappers because those were not just chocolates, I saw his love for me then why did he not love me maa ? I tried in every way to give him what he gave me so why couldn't he fall in love with me ? Now I realize maa, Naina used to say that I should diet and maintain my figure. May be if I had been beautiful like Roshni then he would have loved me. After all he is a man and he only wanted someone beautiful that he can proudly introduced as his wife and not some one chubby like me. I don't deserve love maa.

Vasundra: Myra, me and your father meant it when we call you angel. Only fools get married looking at external beauty and that will never last long.

Myra: Maa, don't curse please.
