Chapter 33 : Confrontations
" The simple reality of life is that everyone is wrong on a regular basis. By confronting these inevitable errors, you allow yourself to make corrections before it's too late..."
~ Barry Ritholtz...
Early Morning...
Around 5:30 a.m.
RM ..
Arnav looked infront at his family members who were still in shock. Pain, disbelief, tears of betrayal, sense of failure and disgust were clearly evident from their posture.
Arnav knew the revelation of past will not be an easy task for any of them. He is feeling miserable himself to even describe his own deeds, then how must his family will feel hearing their son's deeds? They must have felt betrayed or maybe they felt that they failed in their upbringing. Arnav could not imagine what his father, uncle, aunty must be feeling now.
And his mother ?
Remembering Ratna, Arnav felt his heart broke a little more. His mother always adored him most among his all children. Arnav knew both Anjali and Akash use to complain that their mother loves only "chotey"..
But what he has done in return? He has make her mother ashamed.. Did not he indirectly question on Ratna's way of nurturing him the most? Is not his deeds put a question on what values and morality Ratna has instilled in him?
Arnav closed his eyes to control his tears. This was the exact reason he hides everything from his family till now, to prevent heartbreak of his mother and their family members. But alas, he could not prevent the heartbreak.
Today Arnav has realized another bitter truth, " Karma is a bitch.."
Looking once again towards the broken faces of the families specially his mother's, Arnav took a long breath to continue. Today he will not hide anything more.
Arnav started again with low whisper, " As I said, I lost rational thinking and control over myself. Though deep down in my heart I knew I should not mingle with them, but I could not control myself.. again long drive, hanging out, little bit of smoking and then slowly I started drinking too. But I avoided late night party and boozing. But I was unaware that my every move was being observed or rather say, I willingly gave them scope to exploit me again. So, history repeat itself again.."
Pause....
" After few months once again the same incident happened, party, a drinking competition, then blurred images and black out. Next morning I found myself devoid of clothes under the sheet and definitely NOT alone. But this time, it was Sheetal with me. Though I had already broken up with her months before but we used to be friends.. I was shocked seeing her with me in that compromising situation. She cried and told me that it was me who started everything. I felt odd because I could not remember anything, not a single moment. As if my memory have been erased for a particular time periods. I felt guilty and ashamed and once again I hides everything from Aman.. The dire needs for hiding the truth from Aman, I used to keep distance from him. He too was a little bit busy with his study, jobs and his new relationship with Kuhu. But still he always warned me and tried to dig more, but I conveniently avoided him. I wanted to hide everything from him and thus I make a distance with him and within the gap, Veer again get closer to me."
