When Mr.Rude Meets Ms.Love ✔

Chapter 6

Recap : Ishana questions Sharan - Ishana-Sharan share a moment

Ishana's POV

I can't believe this. Is he the same Sharan who scolded me this morning? He seemed to me just like a kid. Wow. Is he bipolar or what? One second he is Mr. Rude and next second he is like an adolescent. Anyways I can handle Mr.Rude better than that soft guy standing in my arms. How can a person be both at a time? But I think I can understand. 

Anger is a very consuming emotion and when it leaves us we feel very empty. May be that was why he was behaving like that.

I was pulled out of my thoughts by a knock on the door. Veena and Varna are sleeping so I tiptoed to the door in order to not wake them up. I was surprised to see Durga uncle at the door after opening it. He was looking pale and lifeless. I know he is passing through a lot of stress and strain which he hiding intentionally from his children. I respects him for his courage even though I don't know what he is experiencing.

"Ishu can you spare a minute? I need to talk to you about something" he said. What does he want to talk and that too at this time? I nodded at him and we went towards the balcony where our conversation wouldn't disturb the girls.

"What did you want to talk about uncle?" I asked sensing his tension.

"What happened to Sharan?" he asked me and I was surprised by his question.

"Nothing that I know of. Why are you asking me about this?" I asked and I was proud of my steady tone. It didn't even weaver.

"I saw him crying , that too in front of you, just a while before dinner." Shit. He saw us.

"Sharan's past has given him a lot of reasons to cry but I have never seen him cry in the last ten years. Why did he cry in front of you now?"

"Uncle if you are thinking that I did something to make him cry then let me tell you that I haven't done anything wrong...." He cut my sentence off in the middle.

"No Ishu. I am not trying to say that you made him cry. Instead I want to appreciate you" Wow. Why would he appreciate me when I made his son cry? 

"Sorry uncle. Did you just say appreciate?" I asked, just for confirmation sake.

"Actually I felt more relaxed when I saw him like that. Do you want to know why?" Do I even have a choice in that matter now that I am so curious. I nodded in response.

"Sharan always tries to be strong. He tries to win over everything and in this process he has lost the respect he has for everything. He treats them like they are just things he needs to win over. No other feelings for them but anger. His world has become confined to me and his sisters. Along with everything else he has lost himself too and he has been this way for the last ten years." he stated.

"What happened ten years ago uncle?" I asked unable to hold my curiosity back.

"Ishu it isn't my place to tell you all those things but I will when the time comes. I just wanted to tell you that please don't hate Sharan if he is rude to you. He has his reasons but even then he shouldn't be rude to you but if he is then please don't hate him" Wait where did this come from? I might dislike Sharan, even that I am not sure about anymore but hate never.
