The Land of Beloved!!!

Chapter 63

When Dadi entered her room, she noticed Bihaan sitting in a sofa in the corner. She felt really bad for him as he has been feeling very guilty since that incident that happened few days ago. The whole house had gone quiet and no one had talked to each other except for the necessary talk. The happiness of the house seemed to have been stolen by some evil eye. She noticed Bihaan finally realising her entry in her room so he instantly got up and started walking towards the bed room door. His eyes were red from the lack of sleep and he had not shaved and was looking to have aged a lot in just few days. Before he could quietly exit the room, Dadi stopped him by calling his name. He stopped but did not turn. Dadi once again called his name and asked him to come and sit on the bed with her. This time he walked towards the bed but did not make eye contact with her. Dadi felt bad seeing him in so much pain. As soon as he sat on the bed, Dadi took his face in her hands and made him look into her eyes. She decided to ease him out of his pain by talking to him.

Dadi: "Have u eaten anything?"

Bihaan: "I am not hungry"

Dadi: "For how long will u be like this?

Tears appeared in his eyes and he put his head in her lap. Dadi let him shed his tears for some time and then continued.

Dadi: "Stop blaming urself for everything. It was not ur fault"

Bihaan did not seem to agree with Dadi.

Bihaan: "I took a life Dadi. How come I am not at fault?"

Dadi (crying): "The damage had been done but u did not do it. Do not blame urself for the sin that u have not committed. The police has already arrested the culprit"

Bihaan: "But that will not do us any gud. It will not return us our baby"

Both Dadi and Bihaan started crying at the mention of baby's loss. No one had the heart and courage to tell the other person that everything will be alright as they knew it will be a lie and nthg will ever be the same again.

Thapki was lying in her bed looking all pale and weak. Bihaan slowly entered the room trying not to disturb her. He was quietly walking towards the wash room when he heard Thapki call his name in a very weak voice. Bihaan who had been avoiding Thapki since that night, froze in that position. He had his back towards Thapki and was lacking the courage to face her.

Thapki: "Bihaan, y r u running away from me? Do u think I am the reason for wat happened that night?"

Bihaan quickly turned and walked towards Thapki. He sat next to her on the bed and took her hand in his. She was weaker and paler than before and it made him feel guilty. He should have been with her during this difficult time but he was so absorbed in his self guilt that he had totally neglected her.

Bihaan: "I am so sorry Thapki for not being a gud husband. U have been suffering a lot since the day I married u. I am sorry for making u feel alone and insecure at times when u needed me the most and I am......"

Thapki put her other hand on his lips and ssshhed him. She could see how broken her Bihaan was. She did not want to make him suffer more but she needed some answers.

Thapki: "U have not failed me or urself... not now nor ever. But Bihaan when did I fail u that u did not trust me"

Bihaan: "I have and had full faith in u"
