CHASING STARS

CHAPTER 13- (RECOVERY)

RECOVERY

Happy Reading :)

Time, the greatest teacher in life. Cruel in nature but kind enough to let you understand the lesson. The only thing to keep in mind is that,  you must be ready for the those lessons.

Motherhood has been the only blessing for her fragile heart. These month have been hell but then she decided to move out from the house to a new place with manorama mami and mamaji for the smooth arrival of her baby. She needed this peace anyway!

Her strength has given up and now when there is nothing left. Her unborn has been her hope to fight for another day. No matter how worse life is right now she cannot let it get to her unborn baby. Now that she is finally getting the new perspective about her life, she starts to think about her position in life that even though life has not always been fair to her or her family. The blessings were undeniable. Anjali jha thinks to herself while trying to finish the milk strictly instructed by mami.

However her overthinking mind again takes her to the current situation in her life.

Abduction of her brother, him blaming shyam, accusation on khushi ji, shyam ji denial and worse of all, when she tried to kill her own baby. Her insides shivers just thinking about that horror.

Shyam ji hasn't stopped trying to contact her since then which she avoided, she has no idea why?

Chhote is her main concern these days. Something is not right with him she knows. He made sure of her comfort and luxury. Visits her once a week stating his involvement in new business venture. He sits by her, takes care of her in the most perfect way he is known for but she has now started to notice. Started to notice that her chhote doesn't look her in the eyes.

He is lost. He is dull and her heart sinks..

He is empty.

Where is khushi ji? Isn't she taking care of him?  What about his health ? Why no one else has noticed all of this? These questions have now started her panic and her mind is restless to seek answers. She must talk to khushi ji, only she can answer her concerns now.

"Number is not available ?"  Anjali questions to herself?

"Anjali.. Tum milk phinish kri ki nahi? Kahe se ki ab tumhra aaram krne ka time hai na."

Mamiji comes to balcony, where anjali was sitting with her phone.

"Mamiji , has khushiji changed her number?"

"I have been trying to call her but it's unavailable. Do you have her new number ?"

Stunned with anjali's sudden query about khushi. Manorama  who always has something to say and ask went awfully silent. As she has been given strict instruction from arnav bitwa to not talk anything about khushi to anjali. Only she knows the burden of guilt she has been carrying since phati saree left them all. Life has turned upside down now but for the sake of arnav bitwa she has to stay silent. Maybe there ever will be some forgiveness to her foolish acts.

"Phati saree ka number? Are tumko abhi us khusi se kya talkwa krni hai anjali?"

"Hello hi, bye bye?"

"Tum bus abi rest kro.. Samjhi ki nahi warna sasu maa hmre hi peeche pad jayengi."

Anjali, was not satisfied. Her instinct has started sending her all danger signs. She needs to know

What the hell is happening here. She is not just some looney they will keep hiding things from.

It's time for some answers.  ANJALI RAIZADA decided.
