Don't ever think that your life's bad baby...
Because there are people who's lives are equally as bad.
The only difference is, you don't see their eyes weep.
Instead, their heart does...........
until it dies."
I looked up at Sona and inhaled a sharp breath before uttering the last lines.
"Because when I wanted to listen to my heart one day....... I just didn't hear a reply."
----------------------------
"Listen Tarun, this is not right. Don't think that I will always listen to you and do stupid things. You are important to me as much as Arjun is. He's also my son and I won't do anything which snatches his happiness away. It's time he thinks about his own life instead of helping you." Asha screamed and held her head in pressure.
"Oh, wait.... Did you say always listen to me? Correction... you always listen to others only. When did I snatch others happiness? Everyone had been snatching my happiness away from me. Because of you guys, even Natasha left me!"
"Natasha left you because of us? What nonsense are you blabbering? She left you because she desired to be with Dev! She cheated on you and Dev brought that to the limelight. You should be glad that we saved you. Even after seeing everything, how can you talk like this?" Asha's eyes became red with fury.
"Whatever.... You always liked Arjun more than me."
"Well, to be honest.... Yes, I like Arjun more than you right now!" she spat and Tarun's eyes widened in horror.
"What?"
"Yes, I like him because he's done so much for my family. He's given me the happiness that I've lost for a while..... All that he has ever earnt, was only for you and this family. With the money he had, he could have built his own empire and lived in luxury. But he cared for everyone, loved everyone and even sacrificed for everyone. Unlike you he isn't selfish, and he never wished to snatch other's happiness. Have you ever known anyone who hates Arjun other than you? YOU ARE JUST JEALOUS" she said while her knees gave up and she sunk to the ground.
Covering her face with her palms, she started crying with heart filled with grieve. She couldn't understand why Tarun was so different from others. Where had she gone wrong in raising him? Instead, she had only given him more than what she had given others. How was his heart was filled with such nasty intentions? She couldn't hold up her tears anymore. Tarun's words only ripped her heart apart.
"Maa.... What happened?" Arjun walked in and was shocked to see Asha crying on the floor.
"Maa, what's wrong? Tarun what happened?" his voice laced with worry as he snapped his head towards Tarun.
"Wow, you are asking me? Don't act like have no idea of why she's crying! If there's anything wrong, then its only you!" Tarun spat angrily and Asha looked up with fiery eyes.
"Mind your tongue before I do something, Tarun!" Arjun spoke, holding his anger at bay.
"What will you do? Huh? What? You have taken everything from me.... Now what else do you have to take from me?"
"What did I ever take from you?" Arjun asked as his eyes grew wide.
"Oh... everything! Every freaking thing! You took away my happiness, joy and freedom. Now, you took away the person whom I thought I could find some love in." He shouted, and Arjun immediately held his collars.
"What the fuck are you speaking? What love? You think every girl you have an eye on, loves you?" Arjun asked, and Asha just looked at them quietly. Her cries grew loud as she hit her palms on her forehead and sobbed in anguish.
