Ethereal Love

Chapter 14

i came to my bedroom and was about to sleep when there was a knock on the door . when i opened the door i saw mummy there . she came inside and sat on the bed and patted on the bed to ask me to sit beside her 

i sat beside her  she took my hand in her ... her eyes were moist but i didn't uttered a word i don't know what should i feel becuase today the same parents whom i loved so much accused me for the thing i never did it or thought in my ever dreams . yes i love rishi but till yesterdy i was even not ready to marry him but when he helped   me with my insecurities i thought to walk over it .

kalyani : shree beta i am sorry .....

she said with her emotional face but today i don't feel anything for that emotional face but what i am feeling right now is only pain .

shreeja : sorry for what mummy .... i was the one who was at fault weren't i ?

i asked with my faint smile ... she looked guilty but why she is guilty for ...i was the one who hid things from them and papa was the one who accused me .... i know he is strict and have anger issues but he don't have that right to raise finger on my character .

kalyani : i am sorry i should have stopped him but i didn't even tried to stop him from accusing you ....

shreeja : its okay mummy if you are here to say this for that accusion . then please don't be sorry .... and please i need sleep ...

i said with emotionless face ... she looked at me with tears in her eyes .....

kalyani : why are you saying this shreeja .... you know na we love you dear ....... and you are the one who hid things from us ... we know your father don't like love marriage thing but you should have atleast come to me and talked to me i would have talked to him and make him understand.....

shreeja : it was not about love marriage mummy and i was even not sure till yesterday if i am ready to marry him . didn't i said everything why i did this , why i hid things from you .... i know i shouldn't have did but when i told everything , what he did . he slapped me any way its not the first time but still his slap didn't hurt me mummy . the thing hurted me was his words ..... the way he accused me .... till now i used to think that my parents love me.  its just because they have orthodox nature they are overprotective towards me but today i got to know why you were over protective towards me ....

kalyani : its not like that shreeja how you are thinking ....

shreeja : no mummy let me speak today ....you say papa loves me tell me when he have talked me sweetly i dont even remember a day . he had always taunted me , mocked me because i was lazy in housechores . after that he taunted me for my introvert nature . i know he provided everything i needed but what about love .... ?
he never talked me lovingly ....it was always you who comforted me , consoled me in my bad times ... he always knew how to shout on me when i answer back to him .....

kalyani : shreeja bache its just he doesnt know how to express his feelings .... he loves you bache today also when he listened to you he is feeling guilty .....

shreeja : why he is feeling guilty when it was my fault that i love rishi , i love him , i am going to marry him i should be the one who should be guilty , because of my acts he ashamed of me. i made his image down ....

i said getting hyper ....till now i was speaking normally but she is here to again make me emotionally weak when i am no wrong....still i am guilty .... and here she is saying he is guilty . if he is guilty then why he didn't come to talk to me why she is here to talk behalf of him .
