Chapter-116

Parul's POV

After lunch, Dada decided that it was time and they'd talk after lunch. Shiva told them how he was able to find her. In his own words,
" Parul thought she was my sister and refused to leave. She regained her memories two days back and that's when she was able to contact us"

He was giving me unnecessary credits.

Shikoba Ayya saved her. He and Mitena Aayi deserve all the credit.

They nursed her and sheltered her. They gave her love and care. They are the purest souls one could ever find. I'm so grateful it was Shikoba Ayya who found me.

It was a heavy and emotional day. So after lunch, I departed to my grandparents's room. I needed some break. Or else nausea will attack me again.

Shiva didn't talk to me during or after lunch. All he said was, Rest Paaru.

Rest his ass.

I didn't bother replying to him. Ever since he found me, he's been saying that. I understand he is concerned but why can't he say something else?

Whatever I'm not angry at him. I have to talk to him at night if he comes home. He didn't say anything. I rushed to my grandparents' room so, I couldn't ask either.

I heard him muttering curses but that was that.

He still has my phone. I'm bored. I think he forgot to give it to me. He might give it back tonight.

I am still not wearing my mangalsutra, toe rings and the ring. I think it's with Shiva. I have to ask him.

I think his mother was displeased with what happened. I don't want a mother-in-law drama in my life.

I admit, I shouldn't have wandered around. But it's not like I did it on purpose. With all my heart, I regret doing whatever I did.

I did it for my baby. And I think any mother would do the same. But it was a mistake. If she thinks, I disappeared purposefully, I don't have anything to explain.

Given my mood swings, I might argue with her. And god knows, Shiva might slap me again!

If that was the case, he'd have slapped me earlier. He wouldn't hurt me. Never again.

I only feel sorry for Shiva, not for anyone else. I've caused him immeasurable pain, especially by keeping the pregnancy news from him.

Of course, I'm sorry for causing pain to my family but it wasn't intentional.

When I look at Manvi and Aryan, I feel so happy for them. Aryan is one of the finest men I've come across. He is a gentleman. Manvi is a lady version of Shiva. But she is not brutal. Manav deserves this happiness. I'm so happy for them.

I wish Shiva could talk to me as he did before thirty days. I cannot go on with this silent treatment. It's hurting me.

" Pari...are you listening?" I looked at my feet where Aditi smacked me a few seconds ago and then at her.

I zoned out.

" No...I was...uh..what were you telling?" I adjusted myself on my Ammamma's lap and looked at her, grinning sheepishly.

I was lying on my grandma's lap, my grandpa was sitting beside my grandma. Sameer was sitting in front of me.

" I said, I was waiting for you to fix dates for our engagement" Aditi used an assertive tone.
