Hardik was sitting quietly in his armchair while Preetika was sitting on the bed, talking to him and checking her tab.
"Humare khudke restaurant ki toh items rahenge hi along with other restaurants of our closely associated business partners will also cater for the wedding. I have already scheduled the meeting for tomorrow morning. Designers ko sab kuch samjha diya gaya hain. Wedding cards ki designs bhi final karwai hain. Aap approval deh denge toh I'll ping up them to start printing it from tonight itself. Also, guests list taiyaar kar liya hain Mittal bhaiya ne. Aur jewellery...."she looked at him and said,"Agastya ke Papa! Aap sunn rahe hain na?"
"Hmm!"he replied and she stood up and came to his side and sat on the handle of the armchair before touching his cheek and making him look up at her while asking,"what's the matter?"
"Have I been a very selfish and bad human being? Have I been very bad son, very bad husband, a very bad father, Preet?"
"No! Never. Aisa kiyu pucch rahe hain aap? You have been excellent,"she said and kissed his cheek before he hugged her.
There was a knock on the door and she said,"Aggy andar aaja."
"How do you know it's me?"he asked while coming in and she said with a chuckle,"mujhe tere knock karne ka style pata hain."
Agastya sighed and smiled slyly before looking at Hardik who looked away. He then came ahead and knelt down near his leg and held his hand while saying,"Papa. I am sorry. I know I have hurt your sentiments. I am so sorry."
"Kya baat hain? Kis baat ki maafi maang raha hain tu Betu?"Preetika asked and he said,"kuch nahi Mumma. Bass...kuch pal ke emotions ke liye saalon ke emotions ko bhula raha tha. Aaj pehelibar battameezi se baat ki na maine Dad ke saath. Please mujhe maaf kardijiye. Main...main Nidaya se hi shaadi karunga."
Hardik looked at him and rested his hand on his head while saying,"I think I failed to be a good father to you. Hain na?"
"Nahi Papa. Aap toh best ho. Aap toh kismat se ladh gaye theh mere liye mere maa ko wapas laaney ke liye. Main jo hoon jaisa bhi hoon sab aapke wajah se hi toh hoon. Aapka beta nahi hota toh kisi gutter mein parha hota yah kisi basti mein. You have done a lot for me. I am sorry. Mujhe aap se waise baat nahi karni chahiye thi. I am so sorry,"Agastya said while resting his forehead upon Hardik's hand and cried.
"Aap dono na mujhe tension deh rahe ho abb. Aisa kya baat hui thi aap dono ke beech?"Preetika asked.
"Kuch nahi Preet. Bass Papa aur bete ki baatein hain,"Hardik said before sighing and held Agastya's face up and wiped away his tears while saying,"rou matt baccha. Papa isn't angry with you."
He kissed Agastya's forehead and gave him a hug while Preetika relaxed and smiled saying,"tabhi main sochu ki itna mood off kiyu hogaya tere Pitaji Maharaj ka achanak se?"
Both Agastya and Hardik chuckled hearing her and they stood up while she said to the former,"sunn, niche jaa, tere liye gajar ka halwa bana ke rakha hain. Kha le. Kal kehe raha tha na ki mann kar raha hain khaane ka?"
"Thanks Mumma,"Agastya said and gave her a hug and went away after she placed a soft kiss on his forehead.
"Preet,"Hardik called and she asked,"haan?"
"Aggy ke shaadi ke baad kahi ghumne jaaye? Tum aur main?"he asked and she chuckled and held him saying,"zaroor jayenge,"before resting her head upon his chest, and he closed his eyes while hugging her.
