I live with your heart (literally)

Mending bonds....

     " Vidushi before you start with your new starting you must know what went went wrong in the past...Don't leave your questions unattended..."

"I know ma'am, the wounds are still  there let them be...I am scared to seek for answers...."

"Information will cure you even if it  takes time..Truth is durable on the longer run...Ignorance will push you into depression gradually...Besides Vidu I thought we talked about the mam thing..."

She giggled and with a smile she said  "
Ok Sanyu come let us do this...I am so thankful that I got you in my life...".

I pulled my collars in pride when she looked into my eyes for one last time before she knocked..

A middle aged man with a strangely lanky body and baggy eyes opened the door...

He looked at me and then at Vidu but there his eyes got stuck..Regret pain
and some unknown emmotion danced on his worn out features  with vivid colours...

I knew him he was Champu kaka the person who told me stories and looked after me when my parents cared the least...I spend my whole childhood with him and his daughter Visu  swinging on  the trees, finding ants and building tree houses... untill he stopped working for my parents..Visu is .Vidushi !!!!!Oh God  were has destiny brought me....

"Papaa "Vidu  threw herself at kaka  embracing him...trying to hide herself in the protective hands of her dad...For a moment I saw his eyes softening but in the next sec he pushed her harshly and turned his back to us...

"Why have you come back you shameless creature..Go away
..How many times  should I kick you out to make the idea clear that you are not welcome here..."

"Champu kaka  is that you ?I am Sanyu Anju Agarwal ki beti..."

"Sanyukta tum?"Kaka looked at me with utter disbelief..

Vidu was too shattered to be confused she fell on the floor sobbing...

"Ha kaka it is me...How could you sell Visu...I don't know you any more...I have never seen a more loving father than the Champu kaka I know  ...."

"Ha ha ha father only if I was .."

"What do u mean kaka?"

"Visu is not my daughter..In fact she is the illegitimate daughter of the ruthless player Mr.Kishore Agarwal."..

Both Visu and I was staring at him with shock...This unexpected turn of events was not in the wildest of my dreams...

"For 18 wretched years I love her as my daughter and last month I get to know the truth from my dying wife at her death bed....18 years back she sold her dignity to your father to get my operation done..Visu is the byproduct of your dad's  sin...He used my wife to satisfy his filthy needs and I was the reason why she sold herself....I was the bloody reason ...to save me... .."

Kaka screamed with his hand clutching his chest.."..Whenever I see Visu I  remember Kishore Agarwal...The daughter for whom I became a human,for whom I left drinking and drugs,for whose wedding  I saved money like a bee  saves honey,for whom I did everything is not mine anymore.."He cried desperately slapping his chest......

"I just wanted her to go away I didn't mean to sell her .I have cursed myself a 100 times for that stupid decision..".

I was numb knowing the level to which my father fell..But I had to mend this, I was responsible....

"Kaka Visu is your wive.'s blood too..She sacrificed her self respect for you uncle...Visu is not the product of a sin she is the symbol of your wives love for you"....

Kaka looked at me with empty eyes...

Visu crawled towards her dad and cupped his face...She looked straight into his eyes and said articulating each and every word clearly...

" Papa I don't know about what other people say but I know ki I am your daughter ....When I first came into this world you lifted me up and held me close to your warm heart...When I cried you rocked my cradle and lulled me to sleep with  your cooing...I saw the world through your words...I learnt to walk by hanging on your finger tips...The first word which came out of my mouth was Papa...You carried me to school on your back...When I had my first fever mom told me that you got a fever too untill I got well ...Papa you are my world my dawn and my dusk...half of my DNA might be from Kishorn Agarwal but how does that make him my dad....Mom is born when a baby takes life in womb and a dad is born when he takes the baby in his arms for the first time...I want to live as your daughter for a 1000 births more Without you I don't have an identity.."..With this she again broke down and clung to her dad with all the might in the world...

"I am sorry  beta I realised  my mistake...I am so sorryyy..You are my daughter Champu Lal ki only daughter.....".

The reunion of Visu and her Dad was the cutest thing I ever saw in my life....
I decided to leave to let the duo have some quality time together...When I walked through the sandy road I didn't feel shock or devastation on having a perverted man for a dad but was filled with happiness that I could mend a very rarely beautiful bond in the world....Just when I thought nothing better could happen a flyover got stuck to my face and surprisingly it had details of an international art exhibition to be held at Paris......
