Ghum hai kisi ke pyaar mein....Ek nazariya

#7#

Isha crossed her hands across her chest, "Vahini." Surekha stepped inside the house, eyes glaring a hole on Isha, "how dare you take Ishaan away from me?" Isha scoffed, "away from you? If you forgot, he is my son. Not yours!" Surekha gritted out, "Ishaan is my son. You abandoned him! But I brought him up, nourishing him with love and care! I am his mother! And a mother's wrath is the worst in the world, Isha. I will destroy you!" Isha uncrossed her hands, "really? Then, you should be afraid because you hurt two of my children." Surekha took threatening steps towards Isha but Shantanu interjected, "Vahini! Please, stop! Isha, you too! Fighting among yourselves won't solve anything. Please." Surekha glared at Shantanu, "You shut up, Shantanu! You have become lattu! Biwi ka ghulaam! You do whatever she says! You should have brought Ishaan to our house. But no! Isha must have demanded to take Ishaan here and you obeyed her like a fool!"

Harini silently watched the heated argument. The rest of the Bhosale family and Reeva entered the house. Shantanu raised his hands in a coaxing manner, "Vahini, please calm down. Nothing happened like that. Ishaan wanted--" Yashwant cut him off, "what Ishaan wanted Shantanu, huh? He is not capable of deciding when he is injured and emotional. And as his father and a part of our family, you should have brought him to our home. You disappoint me every time." Shantanu shook his head, falling short of words as he was put in the spotlight. Isha moved forward, eyes narrowed, "Are you all done? Over the years, and time and time again, you prove to be nothing but hypocrites and judgemental. You are acting as if you don't know why Ishu decided to come with us and not you." Surekha's eyes turned red, as she yelled, "Isha, you shut your rotten mouth! After brainwashing my Ishaan, you called us hypocrites! You are a spineless woman who had abandoned her child and is now raising her finger at me. Shame on you! Now, step aside. I am here to take my son with me."

Isha blocked Surekha's path, "Call me whatever you want. But the fact that you lied to Ishu, took advantage of his love and trust and betrayed him, played with his emotions doesn't change. He refused to go to Bhosale mansion. And I will respect his decision. I will protect him from you." Surekha was livid now, "protect him from us?! I am his mother! And I refuse to believe he refused to come home!" Asmita held Shikha's hand, nervous and panicked. Shikha mirrored her expressions. Chinmay squeezed her shoulder and moved forward. "Aai, Isha Kaku is speaking the truth. Ishaan did refuse to come to Bhosale mansion. I brought him here from the hospital." Surekha's head snapped towards her son, disbelief and shock in her gaze, "What?! Cheenu, were you out of your mind?! Why didn't you tell me?!" Chinmay opened his mouth, but Yashwant cut him off rudely, "You are raising a snake, Surekha. All he knows is poisoning us with his venom!" Nishikant added, angry, "why, Cheenu? Didn't you know we were preparing to welcome Ishu home? Are you taking sides now?" Yashwant scoffed, "he was always against us, Nishi."

Reeva moved forward, going to Harini's side. She held her hand, "Harini, where is Ishaan?" Every head snapped towards her. Harini shifted uncomfortably on her feet. She hesitantly took back her hand out of Reeva's hold. She did not dislike Reeva but she didn't like her either. Over the past few days, Reeva was hostile to her sister, which Harini disliked. She sighed, keeping her emotions aside, "Reeva Ma'am, can I ask you something first?" Reeva stared at Harini, unsure, though nodded. "Do you want to get back with Ishaan Sir? Do you still want to marry him?" Reeva was taken aback by the sudden question. Before she could answer, Surekha rudely said, "lo, now you will also question us? Who the hell do you think you are? Stay in your damn limit! And to answer your questions, yes, Reeva will marry Ishaan!" Reeva's eyes widened as she stared at Surekha in disbelief. She started to speak, but Isha spoke first, "And you want us to believe you? You think after Ishaan's confession, he wants to marry Reeva? Reeva, I don't have a problem with you. But you are making me question how can you still want to marry Ishu after knowing he doesn't love you?"
