I deserve better part 2

chapter 23

"Tell me Payal what compelled you to come all the way from Delhi to Mumbai ?"

"Well you see Khushi your behaivour is disgracing our family . A daughter-in-law should not act the way you are acting although the situation at home may be hostile right that is no reason for you to go galavanting around Mumbai like you are not married".

"Galavanting wow such a big word Payal wow who knew my meek big doormat of a sister could have the guts to call me out. Galavanting really Payal after all this time that is all you have to say I thought by now you would have come to your senses really Payal . I sacrificed my whole being for you Payal cause you were my sister and your happiness meant that much to me Payal I would have walked through fire for you. Frankly jugding from your behaivour I guess I wasted my time cause you are not worth all those things I did for you . The only reason you are here is because you are bitter and you just need somebody to inflict your poison upon. So I know this may sound rude but get your pathetic sorry butt out of my office and life and go back to the hole you crawled out of".

Payals pov

Payal didnt know what compelled her to come to Mumbai in the first place. She may call it suffocation maybe it just plain madness all she knew was that she couldn't stand a moment in the house without wanting to explode , Anjali was getting crazier and crazier Aakash didn't even pay attention to her anymorw he was just obsessed with getting his di well. Arnav really left them in a mess. She would admit she was jealous ,jealous of Khushi she had seen on the news how successful she had become and how happy and free she was. To be truthful Payal wanted Khushi to feel as miserable as she felt . Khushi had no right to escape and leave her in that mess. They should suffer together . Payal stood in the rain and let the rains of Mumbai shower her. She didn't want to go back ,she felt suffocated playing the dutiful daughter-in-law had taken it's toll on her and she had nothing left to give .

"Ahhhhhhh!!!!" Payal screamed this time she let her pain speak for herself . She didn't care that people were giving her strange looks it was just about her release right now. "Ahhhhhhhh!!!" Payal continued to scream letting all her anguish out and letting the Mumbai showers wash away her pain .

A man watched Payal as she was kneeling on the ground and wondered what had gripped her heart so what had tormented her so much. He was not going to disturb it seemed as if the people around her also understood that this woman was realising something out of  her and it was best not to disturb her . So him and the rest of the onlookers watched as the woman before the crowd and cried until she finally passed out.

Payal woke up feeling light and warm. She was in someone's bed she turned and saw a note for her.

  Hi I hope you are feeling well I carried you to my house last night you passed out . There is some breakfast downstairs and my wife's saree is in the bathroom along with toiletry I hope you find whatever your are looking for.

Ps
Please lock and leave the key under the doormat.

Payal proceeded to get ready and she ate the breakfast that was left for her.

"Payal where have you been !!" Aakash screamed .

"Answer me dammit !!"

"Can we go upstairs and talk I want to talk to you about something important ".

"No we will talk right here , I really don't understand you Payal you know what my di  is going through and yet you act like this . What do you want mmm  answer me Payal?"

"Aakash I ..."

"Dammit Payal I asked you a question what do you want ?"

"Fine what do I want you really want to know what I want . All I want is my HUSBAND MMMH MY HUSBAND!! Is that too much to ask all I want is to be in the arms of the man I fell in  love a man who promised to love and protect me and I am  getting none of that. Aakash I am dying here Aakash I really can't go on like this I need to fell alive again Aakash . Goodness I am drowning here and there is nobody to save me ".

"....there that is all I want Aakash. "
