Illicit Desire (Completed)

Chapter 45

Chapter 45

After Jiya went to her room, Vikrant started crying like a child. He still couldn't believe his eyes at what he saw on the CD. Rahul, whom he brought up as his own son, cheated him. He had loved Jiya so much that she stabbed him in the back along with his nephew.

He had started hating relationships; he had lost faith in love. It felt like there was nothing left to live for. He had never felt so broken, even after the demise of his first wife, Neera, as he was feeling today after Jiya's deception.

She had put her things in the bag and called Abha out. Despite Abha's instructions to stay in the room, the children followed her. Seeing her face, Anu and Mayank realized that there must have been a terrible fight between her and their dad.Both hugged Jiya and started crying.

She asked Abha to call Vikrant from the library.

"Anu, Mayank, I'm going forever. Maybe you'll find out why I'm gone after I left, and then you'll both hate me like your dad. All I want to say is that the truth that you will be told is an incomplete truth. And sometimes things aren't what they seem.

No matter how much he hates me, you don't hate me. Take care of your dad. I love you a lot. Remember this always."

Abha and Vikrant came down together.

Vikrant shouted, "What are the wrong things you are teaching my kids?"

"Dad, she isn't teaching us anything wrong."

"Anu, you keep quiet. He is angry now; that's why he is talking to me rudely.Vikrant, I am going. If you want, you can open this suitcase and see. I am not taking anything from here except my clothes and our pictures. All the jewelry is in the closet. There's nothing more than a mangalsutra around the neck and an engagement ring in hand."

Mayank held Vikrant's hand and started crying. "Dad, please stop Jiya mom from going. She is not listening to me and Anu Didi."

Vikrant did not respond. He stood in his place like a stone. Abba didn't stop her from leaving even once. Jiya looked at Abha; she had a slight smile on her face.

She quickly walked over to her and slapped her hard on the cheek. Jiya's slap had stunned Abha. She looked at her face with anger.

"Abha, you will definitely pay for your wrongdoings one day."

Anu and Mayank couldn't understand why she slapped their aunt. Everything happened so suddenly that Vikrant couldn't stop Jiya from raising her hand at Abha. He had gone to his room, and after that, he did not even come out to eat.

She took everything out of the room. She didn't leave anything here in the name of memory. Vikrant had shifted all his belongings to another room the same night. It was impossible for him to stay in that room anymore.

That room reminded him of Jiya's love and infidelity. Now it was impossible to sleep on the bed on which she and Rahul had spent the night together. He hated Jiya and everything about her.

Mayank and Anu were talking about the fight between Jiya and their dad.

"What happened between Dad and Jiya Mom so suddenly that she left the house and he did not even stop her from leaving? I had never seen them fight before."

"I don't know Mayank; I myself don't understand. In this one year, I have understood that Jiya is not a bad person. She says what she feels. And like other people, she doesn't have two faces. The way she slapped Abha Aunt, it seems that Abha Aunt is the reason for the quarrel between her and Dad.

You noticed that she never once stopped Jiya from leaving, nor did she ask Dad to stop her."

"Sister, you saw Jiya Mom's face. There were blood stains on her face, nose, and mouth. No matter how big the mistake she had made, Dad should not have raised his hand on her.I didn't like it at all.Dad's hand is so heavy, and Jiya's mom is so delicate. How much pain she must have suffered. Even after suffering so much pain, she was concerned about dad's wellbeing.

No matter what anyone says about her, my heart can never say bad things about her. My mom can't be bad."

Anu hugged Mayank lovingly. "Yes, you are right, Mayank, and my heart is also saying that Jiya can never do anything wrong."

As soon as Jiya reached her house, she hugged Mallika and started crying. She didn't need to say anything. The scars on her face bore testimony to Vikrant's anger.

Seeing her badly bruised face, Mallika got angry.

She asked Jiya, "Let's go to the police station to file a complaint against Vikrant. He has behaved like a devil with you. He should be punished for raising his hand at you."

"I don't want to file any complaints against him. I can understand what he was going through. If I were in his place, I would have done the same thing. Because of me, he has lost his faith in love and relationships. He will never be able to trust anyone again.

I admit that he made a big mistake by slapping me, but I do not want to pursue this matter any further. It's just sad that he didn't believe me. He trusted Abha more than me. 

Mom, I want to leave this city and go somewhere far away from here. Vikrant has threatened me that he won't let me live peacefully in this city. Will you go with me?"

"Yes, I will go wherever you say. Every relationship can leave you in a lurch, but parents can never leave you.

Eat a little, and do not spoil your mood because of Vikrant. Give all your attention to your child. Now you have to live for yourself and for your baby. Whatever happened is not your fault, so live your life with confidence."

"Yes, Mom, you're right. I will never give up. "

After dinner, she went to her room to rest. Mallika had brought an ice pack to reduce the swelling on her face. There were tears in her eyes when she saw her mother taking care of her in this way.

"What happened? Does it hurt so much?"

"No, I'm not crying because of this pain. Please forgive me; I have misunderstood you many times since childhood."

"Not only you, but everybody misunderstood me because I never cared about the rules made by society. I don't want to live as an idol of sacrifice; being your mother doesn't mean I don't have some dreams."

"Hmmm. Mom today, Vikrant, said that I am like you. Just like you cheated dad, I cheated Vikrant. Is it true that you cheated on my father?"
