Avantika knew something was wrong so without wasting time she reached at her old house.

As the door was locked Monika was sitting outside on the stairs looking like a crying mess.

"What happened Monika? Another Fight with Utkarsh? " Avantika came by her side and took her in her embrace.

" He is a scoundrel mom' a real bastard " she sniffled her cries.

" shhhh" Avantika stopped her before she cursed him more.

" Mom, have you taken all your belongings from that house? "

" Just tell me what happened? "

Monika told her everything about Utkarsh dirty mind, keeping the consummation part to herself. She won't tell a single soul which make her look like a stupid. Sex doesn't mean end of the world. She has gone through the worst. Her hate towards men grew more.

On the other hand Avantika collapsed beside her daughter on hearing the truth from her.

She remained silent for some time.

" Mom, I hate him. I won't let him ruin us. I am gonna divorce him and---"

"Stop it Monika, you will not do such thing "

" You are impossible mom! Can't you see he doesn't respect me? He doesn't even respect you. He said you and his father - - - "

" that's the truth! But when he proposed to marry you Mr. Wadhwan and I stopped dating. I swear on my own life Monika I will never let anything bad happen to you. "

Monika was shocked but she knew her mother. So she reassured her.

" Mom, you don't need to swear for anything I trust you. I know you will do everything by taking care of best interest of me"

"Then just give me time to clear things with him. Mr. Wadhwan is a good man. With his help we can explain Utkarsh - - "

" Mom! Are you blind or what? Don't you see he is an idiot, he is bitching on me with Tina. He have no shame no respect for us"

" So what! Nobody respects me. What's so new in this? Not even your father respect me "

" Mom just stop it! Stop seeing yourself so much low. I love you, I admire you, I respect you. I know how much you struggled all your life."

"then don't ruin it. Let me take care of this matter. He has to fall in love with you. "

" Mom! Utkarsh is not worth it for me. Why are you even insisting? "

" Because I don't have time. Mr. Wadhwan is a good man, he promised me he will take care of you as your own father "

Avantika started crying and Monika took her in for an embrace.

" What happened mom? I don't need any father figure in my life. I have you and that is enough. Say it last time when did I mention to you that I need a father? "

" That's why dear, I can't stay with you in your whole life. You need someone to look after you. I have less time "

" are you OK mom? Your health is OK na? "

" No, "

" what's wrong with you? "

" AIDS"

"what? "Monika's whole world clashed right in front of her.

" Doctor confirmed last month that I am suffering from AIDS, I am... I am so.. So.. So stupid that I started taking drugs to relief my stress. Through infected needles I got this disease. "

Monika started reminding her mother coming late from parties, always in a drunken state.

" oh my God mom! I thought you are big to handle things and I don't need to interfere. But but i was so so ignorant that I never paid attention, that may be.. Maybe you are suffering from stress and all. This is all because of me. I am... Am sorry mom! "

She also started crying with her mother.

" No dear, it's nothing to do with you. Don't blame yourself. I am responsible for everything. But I will take care of everything before I die "

" Mom! "

" Just bear with me Monika, everything is under my control. The misunderstanding between you and Utkarsh is very small - - - "

" There was a time when I forgot about everything and whatever wrong happened in my life, but.. But when I stay with him under the same roof my headache starts. I feel like blood vessels in my head are going to pop up. I.. I.. I relive the same pain time again and again. So Please mom. "

"That's because you don't share anything, you need to share things with others. If you share your feelings you won't get hurt, believe me. People will not take it as weakness of yours, in fact they will take care of you. "

" Mom! This is the last thing I want from someone to pity on me"

"please beta, learn from my mistakes. If I have shared my problems with you then I don't have to seek drugs or other stuff to deal with my depression and that will not lead to AIDS disease. "

" Just look at me, mom! This is not about me. We have to take care of you. You just keep quiet! Now it's my time to behave like a responsible girl. I will handle everything from now on. We don't need anyone. Believe me, he is not worth it for me. "

" Monika ---"

"Mom, we are going to shift back to our house. Believe me, your daughter is not that weak that I can't take care of you and me. It's the pride that on the stake which I will not give up for shit like him "

Avantika was going to argue when Monika took her hand in hers.

" Mom, believe me, every girl needs to get independent in her life, this male-dominated society makes me sick. I don't want to live like this. I can take care of you, just give me a chance to do something for you. "
