Misha's POV:
"Can we meet?" I texted Karthik. I knew he was busy and was out with his family but I really needed someone to talk with and Karthik was the only right person for that.
"Is it so important?" He texted back almost immediately.
"Yes. I came to know the truth and now I don't know what to do."
"Ok. Will be there in 20 minutes." He replied as I kept my phone back on the bed.
I was very scared, There wasn't any reason to be scared, I should have been angry but then I don't know why I was scared. It was so difficult for me to ask Mom questions doubting on her mother-in-law but she was the only person whose name changed Mom's expression while I was implementing my plan. I highly doubted when mom reacted because I never once thought that she will be the one doing it but now that Mom has confessed everything I don't know what to say further.
After my friends and Siddhi went home, I thought a lot about how I was going to ask mom and that too about Dadi, A part of me said that I was wrong whereas a part of me encouraged me to go and find everything. I was confused until I realized that God was with me, because the next day, he himself sent Dadi here. Varun was so happy the moment he saw his favourite person, unlike Mom, who didn't looked happy at all. I knew, Mom and Dadi will talk about whatever secret they are keeping and so I kept watch on them but was not able to find anything the whole day.
Yesterday night, I heard Dadi asking Varun to forgive mom and dad, to start talking with them again, which again made me doubt on my findings but later after the dinner when I heard, Mom and Dadi talk, I got sure that it was none another than Dadi, who told Mom to do this. I was not able to rest, I really wanted to know the reason behind it. I always thought that Dadi loved Varun more than she loved anyone in this house but when I came to know that she is behind his pain, I was more than shocked. I waited for her to go and sleep, so that I can ask mom everything however I was not able to do it because she didn't moved out of Kitchen and on the other hand, Isha was a little sick, so I went to take care of her with a promise to myself that I will find the truth tomorrow, which is today.
As soon as I wake up, I hurriedly got ready and went to kitchen. I knew Mom would be there making breakfast for everyone and she was, I didn't waste anytime, I just went and straight away asked her.
"It was Dadi who told you to do this, right?" I asked as Mom's expressions immediately changed.
"Answer me Mom." I demanded.
"What are you talking about?" Mom asked as if she don't know what I was talking about.
"Mom Please, you very well know what I'm talking about."
"Stop it Misha. You are mistaken." She said and continued her work.
"Mom please don't lie to me this time. I heard you both talk last night. Why can't you tell the truth?" I asked as I made her look at me. A tear fell down her cheek.
"It was Dadi, right?" I asked again.
"Yes, it was. You got your answer? Now leave me alone." She said crying.
"But why mom? Didn't she loved Varun the most? Then why she made you do something, which will hurt him?" I asked however she didn't replied so I continued asking her until she finally spoke.
"Because she want a grandchild Misha."
Grandchild? But she already has Isha, then why?
"Of her own blood." Mom answered my unasked question, leaving me in another shock. Grandchild? Of her own blood? why? What's even in the blood? Isha is just a small baby, Varun has legally adopted her, when she grows up, it's Varun's name she will use, she is his daughter, then why a grandchild of her blood?
"Mom, You know Varun will be so upset if he ever comes to know about it. I don't know, if you know this or not but everything, every property that Varun and Tanvi had, they have already made Isha's as their legal nominee, so if they both considered Isha as their own daughter why can't Dadi?"
"I don't know Misha. I was forced to do it. I didn't had any other option than cheating on my own Son." Mom answered still crying. I should have been comforting her but I was too hurt for that. so Dadi just wants a grandchild from me, In future if things ever goes wrong and I won't be able to give her a grandchild, what will she do then?
"Please don't tell anything about this to Varun, please." Mom literally begged.
"Even if he will keep hating you?"
"Yes. Please I beg you." She pleaded.
"I can't promise mom. I won't tell him directly but he if comes to know about it from someone else, I won't keep quite." I said and went away from there.
As I went out, I saw Varun standing outside the door.
"Going somewhere?" He asked. one of those lucky day, where Varun himself initiates the conversation.
"Yes." I replied and soon heard the horn of Karthik's car.
"Your friend is here I guess." He said further. i don't know what you are thinking my love but I feel very sad for you, I'm hurt to know that you blindly trust on people whom you shouldn't.
"Are you crying?" He asked as I quickly wiped the tears formed in my eyes.
"No, I guess it's just because of sun." I replied.
"Bye. See you later." I said and went away. I sat inside Karthik's car and told him to drive fast, I really wanted to leave that place.
"Are you okay?"
"No, I'm not. I really don't know what to say. Dadi made this marriage happen because she want a grandchild of her own blood. Then what about Isha? Can't she consider Isha as her grandchild?"
"And varun, he blindly trust his Dadi. What will happen when he comes to know the truth? And just because of Dadi, he hates his own mother, he thinks that she is the one who did this to him and mom, she is just facing everything without complaining. I never thought my in-law will be like this, I thought these things only happens in movies but no, Karthik, these things happens in the real world has well."
"Misha please control yourself." Karthik said as he stopped the car.
After sometime when I was ok and stopped crying, he started to drive again.
"What are you going to do now?" He asked.
"I don't know."
"Are you going to tell Varun?" he asked and I immediately replied saying no.
"What about you ego then?" He asked obviously teasing me. He knows what all things I have done because of my ego.
"Ego? I don't care about it anymore. It I tell the truth to him, my ego will win but he will be hurt and I can't do that. I can't hurt him ever."
"Does Varun knows how much you love him and how lucky is he?" He asked making me smile.
"He wouldn't care." I replied and told him to drop me back to my home. As h stopped his car outside my home, I was about to go out but his question stopped me.
"If you don't tell him, he will keeping hating his mother, what about that?"
"She is his mother, he can't be angry with her for a long time, he has to understand it, I will make him understand." I replied.
Dadi played safe. She did what she wanted and still has varun by her side. However I won't let Varun hurt mom again.
From onwards I will be updating two times a week (if I get time it will be three) mainly the updates will be on Wednesday and Sunday.
