A Love So True

Chapter 21

The rain drops began to fall , drumming against the roof . Nehal's heart was getting anxious , some past memories flashed in his mind. His phone rang , breaking the silence.
His hands were trembling , he slid the green call icon aside.

" H-Hello..."

From the other side he heard his brother's panic stricken voice ,

" Bhaiya ... Do something... Aunty ...aunty ..she brought Eshana di with her and ....and they are going to Shubman's house.... I tried to stop her....she didn't listen... Bhaiya ....Ishu ...he ...is in danger."

Mayank was so panicked , he couldn't even talk properly. Nehal felt his heart would come out of his chest.

" Hang up .... I'm going there."

Nehal cut the call and started his car. He wasn't noticing other cars on the road , he pressed accelerator . The car was running with high speed. Halfway in the road , his car got stuck in the traffic , he couldn't move his car. Several cars were infront of him . Nehal hit the steering wheel in frustration.

" Shit... Shit.... I don't want to be late this time. God... Please help me."

His eyes were red and burning .

When he somehow reached Gill mansion. Heavy Strom hit the earth , trees were swaying vigorously. Nehal ran towards the main entrance. He couldn't see properly due to strong winds and rain , got totally drenched.

" Bhaiya....."

He heard his brother was calling him from far. Mayank came running with an umbrella , he was panting.

" Bhaiya let's go ."

They entered Inside the mansion running .

" Ish-"

They both stopped.

Things were more complicated than they imagined .

" She is Ivan's real mother , Dad."

There was a scary silence inside the huge hall room of Gill Mansion .The sentence Shubman just blurted out made everyone shocked from the core. Shahneel who was holding Ishan's hand , her hold got loosened. One second was just to take to make her understand that .......

Ishan's own sister was the woman who almost dragged his brother and nephew near death.
She stared at the two women standing infront of them blankly.

Mr Gill and Mrs Gill were also stunned , Mr Gill collected himself and asked ,

" They ... they are.."

Before he could ask anything , Shahneel replied in a voice , like she was having hard time to control her anger .

" The woman next to her is Ishan's mother and Ishan ......he is brother of that nasty woman who destroyed my brother's life."

She glared at Ishan from the corner of her eyes.

Ishan staggered back , he felt his legs couldn't be able to hold his weight anymore.
Every pain , trauma , bad memories and now this .... were buzzing inside his head , his vision went blurred. He wanted to say something but nothing came out of his mouth.

Shubman ?!

He somehow raised his eyes to look at his husband's face . Shubman was drenched with sweats , his breathing was labored , chest heaving with exertion . Like he wanted to scream the pain out of him but couldn't.

When Shubman tried to attempt suicide after Eshana left him . Shahneel found him but the time she found his brother in that condition , he already lost a significant amount of blood.
He was in ICU for a long time , due to deficiency of blood flow in his brain , he had temporary amnesia. His didn't forget any incidents but faces of some people who was related to his trauma. He got several mental issues after that . If someone mentioned Ivan's mother or things related to her , that triggered his symptoms more. He made tantrums and broke everything in his room , crying , screaming like a mad man . He couldn't erase the trauma of seeing his own child nearly dead . They got a hard time to cure him and made him back to the normal life. Doctors told them it's better to keep those persons far from him .
