Embracing The Unplanned

82- Feeling of belongingness

Hriday stared at his wife who was sleeping peacefully,but he himself couldn't.

Not after whatever bullshit he had said to Bela and Mahir.They didn't deserve this.They shouldn't suffer because of his fucked up mindset.

He agreed that the Rathod's were a bad thing for him,he had suffered a lot because of them and even Aayat and Iti had suffered a lot because of them but that didn't give him the right to treat other people badly just because he was convinced they would turn out bad too!

He sighed.

He really wanted to accept them,really!

When even Iti had accepted them as her dadi and dadu and they had proved to be the best for her,for Aayat,for him too,then he was really an ass for being so rude to them when the fault wasn't there to begin with.

He went to the balcony and sat on the small couch placed there,he took his mobile phone and looked at the contact number.

Maa❤️

He knew his maa would be sleeping now,it was 12:30 at midnight after all and he shouldn't call her and disturb her right now.

But he wanted to talk to her.

He shook his head and made the call,he waited for his mother to pick up the call.

"Hriday"He sighed in relief as he heard his name from her mouth after so long.

He smiled and automatically his eyes welled up hearing his mother.

"Hriday,kya hua h beta??aap thik toh h na??boliye bhi kuch!!hamara dil betha jaa raha h beta!"Jheel's concerned voice reached his ears and he smiled through tears.

She wasn't even irritated with him for calling her this late and disturbing her sleep,he didn't even live with her now and she was still so concerned for him,she hadn't changed.

"Maa"

He breathed deeply as he called her.

"Kya hua h??aap pareshan h na kisi cheez ko lekr??kuch hua h kya?"She asked immediately as she heard his voice and Hriday chuckled hearing that.

"Aapko kese pata kuch hua h?"He asked as he wiped his tears.

"Aap bataiye kya hua h?"She asked.

"Humse galati ho gayi h maa,phirse"Hriday said with a guilty voice.

"Hua kya h Hriday?"She again asked and that was all that was needed for him to spill the beans.

"Galat kiya na?"Hriday asked after he told her what had happened and how he had reacted to it.

"Apni biwi ke liye stand lena galat nhi tha,aapka gussa bhi jayaz hi tha,pr aapko puri baat toh sunni thi na beta!aur iss sab mein apne maa-papa ko blame krna bhi galat hi tha.....unhone hrr tareeke se aapko,Aayat ko,Iti ko apnane ki koshish ki h....hamari baat hui thi Iti aur Aayat se....woh dono khush h waha.....mana aapke saath yaha bht bura hua tha,pr iska matlab yeh toh nhi na ki hrr koi bura hi karega aapke saath?"Jheel spoke calmly and Hriday heard her and nodded at her words.

"Accha bataiye.....kya unhone kabhi Aayat ko pareshan kiya h?"Jheel asked and Hriday denied that.

"Iti ko buri tarah treat kiya h?"Jheel again asked and Hriday denied that too.

"Aapko kabhi kuch kaha h bewajah?"She again asked and Hriday denied that too.

"Aapse kuch chaha h??sivay iske ki aap unke parivaar ka hissa bankr rahe,unhe accept kare?"Jheel again asked and he denied that as well.
