That's it. She forgave him, just like that, after all she has been through because of him, she forgave him.

How can I? She thought to herself. Wasn't she, who used to throw the biggest tantrum even in the slightest bit of inconvenience.

But she forgave him, the reason, wasn't her mother used to do the same thing with her father. And Yuddhishtir is not her father he will change, right?

Mohini convinced herself with her coping words. Yuddhishtir is not her father, he is far far far better than him, he will change.

Yuddhishtir, who had his head on Mohini's lap looked up, “what happened Hritika?” he questioned looking at her, which was itching with doubt and fear.

Mohini broke out her trance, “Nothing Yuddhi, just some things, why don't you get up and get some sleep, you must be tired.” she replied, caressing his head.

“Are you thinking about today?” he slowly got up and looked at her, “No I am not. Don't worry about it and go get some sleep, you look like a horse.” Mohini completed breaking the tension, Yuddhishtir gave her a playful glare and got up.

He bent down and gave her a kiss on the forehead, “take care my Hritika” he said caressing her cheeks, Mohini nodded and he went away.

She closed and sighed, and rubbed her face, she is not able to understand her mind. ‘What the fuck is happening’ she thought to herself.

Few moments later, she heard a knock, “Come in!” she said, only to see Draupadi coming inside with the Jug she took. “I am sorry Madhu, I got caught up in something.” she said hurriedly, “its ok jiji” she replied.

“Madhu.. whatever happened toda-” Draupadi started but was cutoff by Shree. “its ok jiji, it doesn't matter.” Draupadi frowned, “But it does Madhura! You can't take this thing this lightly, infact I am so angry! Arya Yuddhishtir will sleep outside!” Draupadi said animatedly, Mohini smiled and pinched Panchali's cheeks.

Draupadi blushed and slapped Mohini's hands and huffed. Mohini laughed, “You are getting too naughty these days!! Now go to sleep.” she said playfully angry and slowly helping Mohini to lay on her stomach.

“Have il a beautiful sleep” she wishpered and kissed Mohini's forehead and went away.

--------------------------------------
Well the beautiful swarg laxmi was true to her words. Yuddhishtir did sleep outside that night.

Days went by Mohini was slowly healing, things were going back to normal. But Mohini knew she needs to talk to him.
It's been a while, and he still hasn't recovered.

It was night time, when everyone just finished their dinner and retired towards their respective rooms, Mohini as usual was taking her night walk. The bandage wrapped around her body for healing.

She reached to see the half moon shining and providing the light, making the mini pond shine like diamonds.

But what she also noticed was that, Duryodhan sitting there, looking at the moon, thinking about something. She sighed, and approached him.

“can I sit here?” she asked which broke him out trance he was in. “hmm..” he curtly nodded and space for her. Mohini quietly sat down beside him, “i am sorry..” she said out of nowhere, which surprised him. “Not for what I did, but for the way I did” she completed and then looked at him, who still waiting for her to continue.

“i know we should have talked to you about everything, but she was scared and nervous about everything.” he looked down, “Didn't she trust me enough?" He sighed.

“she did, she still does, you know it's not too late..." Mohini completed putting a hand on his shoulder, comforting him. He looked up confused by recent statement. “she wrote me secretly, she still hasn't married, she waiting for you." She completed and smiled in the end.

“Go, she is waiting for you.” she said, more like trying to convinced him. But Duryodhan didn't need any convinence, he immediately held Mohini's hand desperately and asked, “Really? She wrote you? What did she say? Is she fine? She is ok right? Is she happy? What did she say about me?” he asked, without letting shree answer any of those questions.

“Listen to me Duryodhan!” she almost shouted at him, he stopped and looked as if like a kicked puppy. She felt bad now, “she fine, very happy, but now waiting for you. To do her kanyadan, she wanted the whole family, but the situation....” Duryodhan looked down.

“Don't think too much Duryodhan, before it's too late” “but what i-” Mohini immediately cut him off, “why do you always have to think about what ifs! When it comes to your sister!?” she again scolded him.

“Ok..ok! I will go and pack belongings now.” he said standing up starting to walk away, but stopped. He turned around and hugged Mohini, closing his eyes.

Mohini was shocked with the sudden hug but still hugged him back. “thank you for helping my sister..”he said in hug, and in that hug he didn't sound like prince, but more like brother who was grateful that his sister is safe and happy, he felt relieved.

Mohini smiled and hugged him tighter, “Your sooo welcomed!” she said with fake pride. They both broke in laughter and Duryodhan ruffled her hair and went away.

Now Mohini felt guilt free.

Ok umm I am sorry....I was away for month...a lot of things happened...

I started my college, and got a new phone!! I am so happy!! Yeah but updates will be slow as my college gives loads of work!

But that's not the case right now, I wanted to talk about Moumita didi. The things happened...they have disturbed me alot. Like a lot. I feel unsafe a lot now, in college also, I only talk with female friends, I interact with male friends also, but it has toned down a bit.
My mom is denying me to leave the state for further studies, as she is also scared now...

I have opened a Tumblr account, and posted a voice note related to the case, like everything that is related, because it was not only a rape case but also a planned murder, if any of you guys are interested to listen to it,

My account is @myvarya and you guys can search it in Tumblr.
