Embracing The Unplanned

86-Overwhelmed

Soon enough everyone decided to leave for their respective rooms.

Hriday turned towards his daughter who was still playing with her buddy.

"Chaliye Iti ab sone ka time ho gaya h aapka,good night boliye apne buddy ko"Hriday said and Iti pouted at that.

She looked at Nirvair with those puppy eyes and pouty face and Nirvair couldn't ignore them at all.

"Tu jaa,aaj mein isko apne room mein sulata hu"Nirvair said and Iti smiled hearing that.

"Aapko inhe sulana nhi aayega"Hriday said.

"Abe oye,tujhe kya lagta h yeh jo itne saare bhai h hamare unko meine kabhi babysit nhi kiya hoga?mujhe acche se aata h chote bacchon ka khayal rakhna"Nirvair said as he got up and picked Iti in his arms.

"Chal Itudi papa ko good night bol de"Nirvair said as he walked towards Hriday.

"Good night papa"Iti said as she hugged her father.

"Good night beta"Hriday said and again passed his daughter in Nirvair's arms.

"Aap inhe story suna...

"Ha mujhe pata h isko story sunani padti h"Nirvair said and left.

Hriday sighed and walked towards his own bedroom.

"Itni jaldi sulakr aa gaye aap Iti ko?"Aayat asked him and he shook his head in denial at that.

"Toh?Iti kaha h?"Aayat asked.

"Woh Nirvair bhai ke room mein sona chahti h aaj,woh sula denge unhe"Hriday said and Aayat nodded at that then.

Both settled on the bed as usual cuddling eachother.

"Hriday"Aayat whispered and he hummed in agreement.

"Hum bht khush h yaha aakr"Aayat said and Hriday looked down at her and Aayat frowned when she saw his teary eyes.

"Kya hua?"Aayat asked as she got up from his embrace and leaned towards him to wipe his teary eyes.

Hriday shook his head in denial stating he was fine but his teary eyes gave him away.

"Bataiye na,Hriday,aap hame dara rahe h"Aayat said.

"Humne kitna galat kiya h inn sabke saath Aayat!kitni baar inn sabko hurt kiya h!!....aur yeh log,yeh log hamari beti ko iss parivar mein welcome krne ke liye itna bada function krne wale h!"Hriday said as he called down a lil and stared at his wife who had a big smile on her face.

"Aap khud uncertain the tab cheezon ko lekr,jaan bhujkr nhi kiya tha aapne kuch bhi"Aayat said wiping his face as she leaned in a pecked his forehead.

"Phir bhi,yeh sab bhi toh anjaan the na humse!inhone toh aisi koi galti nhi kari"Hriday said.

"Aapko toh pata hi h Rathod House mein Iti ko kese treat krte the sab!humne kabhi sapne mein bhi nhi socha tha ki hame aise log milenge,aisi family milegi,jo hamari Iti ko jaan se badhkar pyaar kare,bina koi shart ke,badale mein bina kuch chahe!"Hriday said feeling overwhelmed with what all he had witnessed downstairs.

Aayat too felt the same when the discussion about that function had been done.She too had witnessed the unjust behaviour the Rathod's had done with Iti,had felt very bad too about it.

"Kyuki inn sabko Iti ki kadar h,pyaar krte h woh unse,aur pyaar mein koi sharte nhi hoti h Hriday,maybe this was what was meant to happen,aapne, humne aur Iti ne jo kuch bhi face kiya tha Rathod House mein it was just a bad phase of our lives,how we are living now is what we deserve"Aayat said and Hriday nodded his head at that.
