"Mom please listen to me... At least let me explain... Main aap ko baatane hi wala tha sab kuch....."

Sidharth tired to make Rita Maa understand but she was not listening anything. Meanwhile Shehnaaz felt guilty as it was happening because of her.

Rita Maa sat on the sofa and said angrily, "Kya sunu main, haan? Shehnaaz ke baare mein sab kuch baataya lekin yeh baatana zaroori nahi samjha ki woh pehle se shaadi suda hai, yaaha tak ki ek baccha bhi hai iska."

"Mom iss se kya fark padta hai?" Asked Sidharth. "Saalon pehle divorce ho chuka hai unn dono ka. Aur kaha likha hai log divorce ke baad dusri shaadi nahi kar sakte? Mom I thought you are a very open-minded person. Mujhe nahi laga tha ki yeh chhoti moti baatein aap ko affect karegi."

Rita Maa looked at Sidharth being disappointed and said, "Mujhe yeh affect isliye ho raha hai kyu ki tune mujhse yeh baat chhupayi. Accha maine kabhi bhi tujhe kisi bhi chiz mein roka hai? Nahi na? Main sirf itna expect karti thi ki tu sab kuch mere saath share karega. Jis ladki se tu pyaar karta hai uske past ke baare mein itna toh paata hona chahiye na mujhe?"

"Woh Mom...."

Rita Maa showed her hand and said, "Rehne de Sidharth. Kuch mat bol filhaal."

Sidharth looked down. Shehnaaz thought for a while and then went to Rita Maa. She sat beside her on the sofa and hold her hands.

"Aunty aap ne pucha tha na ki Sidharth ki kaunsi quality mujhe sabse zyada acchi lagti hai? Yeh hi ki Sidharth dusro ke baare mein bohut sochta hai, dusro ki feelings bohut acche se samajhta hai. Uski yeh quality mujhe 11 saal pehle hi dikh gayi thi, jab hum pehli baar mile the."

Saying that, she looked at Sidharth who gave slight smile looking at her.

Shehnaaz again turned to Rita Maa and said, "Sidharth ne aap se yeh baat isliye chhupayi kyu ki woh nahi chahta tha aap upset ho jaao. Woh jaanta hai aap ke dil mein uski shaadi ko le kar kitne armaan hai. Inn sab ke bich meri pehli shaadi, bacche yeh saari baatein baata ke aap ko dukh nahi pohuchana chahta tha. Usne socha pehle aap mujhse mil lo phir hum dheere dheere aap ko sab baata denge. Isliye aap Sidharth se naraz mat rahiye. Usne aap ke baare mein soch ke hi yeh baatein aap se chhupayi. Agar sab kuch jaan ne ke baad main aap ko accepted nahi hoon then it's fine. Hum yeh rishta khatam kar denge lekin...."

Before she could complete, Rita Maa asked, "Hogaya tera? Ab iski tarafdari karna aur mahan ban na band hogaya ho toh main kuch bolu?"

She took out a bangle from her bag and said while making Shehnaaz wear it, "Aage se agar yeh mujhse kuch bhi chhupane ki koshish kare toh sabse pehle tu mujhe aake baata na. Acche se khabar lungi main iski. Aur haan, pehle se warn kar rahi hoon, mera Beta bohut nalayak hai, iske saath rehna asan baat nahi. Zyada tang kare tujhe toh laga dena do chaar.... Bas iska saath kabhi mat chhor na."

Both Sidharth and Shehnaaz became speechless hearing this. Somewhere they felt bad for lying to her.

"Par Aunty yeh main kaise le sakti hoon?" Asked Shehnaaz looking at the bangle.

Rita Maa smiled and said, "Shagun hai Beta, rakh le. Aur aage se mujhe Mom keh ke bulana."

Shehnaaz became emotional hearing that.

"Love you Mom!" She said and side-hugged Rita Maa.

Then Rita Maa looked at Sidharth and asked, "Tu waha kyu khada hai? Idhar aa jaa."

Sidharth smiled and went to her and hugged her from the other side.

At night...

Rita Maa was leaving from there holding her suitcase.
