The Land of Beloved!!!

Chapter 42

Thapki and Kabir were driving towards the Shopping Mall. Kabir looked at Thapki but she was lost deep in her thoughts.

Kabir: "Thank you so much for coming with me today. I thought you will never agree to come but actually Sheena and her dad are coming back soon and on their arrival our formal engagement will be done. I want all preparations completed by then. I can't do everything alone so I asked for ur help"

Thapki: "It's okay. And I can't say No to Bihaan ever. When he asked me to help u regarding the preparations, I could not refuse though I was busy myself"

She acted as if she only obeyed Bihaan's orders though in reality she felt quite happy coz that was her chance to finally talk to Kabir abt Bihaan's family.

Kabir: "Busy?"

Thapki: "Yes I am busy. After all I am planning a surprise party for Bihaan's bday"

Kabir: "Party that too for Bihaan's bday. I do not think it is a gud idea"

Thapki: "Y not?"

Kabir: "Bihaan does not like parties. Vasu Aunty will also not like the diea"

Thapki: "But she is herself planning Dhruv Devar's bday party"

Kabir: "Its coz his bday is celebrated every year and that too at a grand level"

Thapki: "Y they don't celebrate Bihaan's bday that way?"

Kabir: "U know that"

Thapki: "Yes but in bits and parts. I want to know the whole reason"

Kabir: "U must ask Bihaan then"

Thapki: "I don't want to hurt him by asking abt his past"

Kabir: "If I tell u the truth then Bihaan will get angry at me"

Thapki: "Don't worry... I will not tell Bihaan that u told me anything"

Kabir started thinking for few seconds and then continued.

Kabir: "Bau Ji is Bihaan's Uncle. His father was Balwinder Uncle's younger brother. We have heard that he did something bad and was thrown out of PN by Bihaan's Dada Ji. That is y no one talks abt him ever. After many years a lady appeared at PN claiming to be pregnant with Bihaan... The heir of the Pandeys. She was not accepted by the family and was thrown out. And years later when Bihaan was just a child, his father got murdered and his mother was sent to jail for killing his father. Bihaan was then adopted by Bau Ji and is now known as his son"

Thapki did not say a single word for many seconds.

Kabir: "R u okay?"

Thapki: "Y Vasu Maa hates Bihaan? Wat was his fault in all this?"

Kabir: "That I do not know. All I know is that Dhruv used to tease Bihaan in his childhood by calling him an orphan"

Thapki closed her eyes feeling Bihaan's pain.

Thapki: "Thanks for telling me the truth. I owe you big time for this"

Kabir: "Remember ur promise then"

Kabir smiled and Thapki smiled back. The two have reached the Mall so they silently parked their car and moved into the Mall.

Thapki: "Bhabhi where is Bihaan?

"Preeti: "He went upstairs a lil while ago"
