His sins Her punishment

Epilogue!!

Ruhana moved into her room and got freshened up.  She got attentive with a knock on the door of her room.  She came out of the washroom and a wide smile covered her lips to see her father.  She ran to hug him. Suresh took her in his fatherly  embrace. 

"Papa kaise ho aap? " She asked. 

He smiled and patted her head. "Tu khush hai toh tere papa bhi khush hai. Aur ab toh sab theek ho gaya hai na toh ab koi dukh nahi hoga. " 

"Haan papa. Mana zindagi ka ek bahut hi bura daur dekha hai. Par us waqt ne mujhe mere apnon aur prayon ka farak bata diya. Nahi toh sari zindagi mein Ayub aur Neha ke liye kaam karti rehti aur ek din wo mujhe kahin pichhe chhod ke aage nikal jate..  Waqt ne mujhe unki sahi pehchan bata diya."

After pausing for a few seconds she started again. "Dekho na papa mujhe kitni achi family mili hai. Vineet jaisa jeevan sathi,  Angel se chahe khoon ka rishta nahi hai par un sab rishton se badh kar.  Aur Mom toh mujhe sar ankhon pe bithati hai.  Main bahut lucky hoon papa. " 

Suresh nodded. "haan ab bas khushiya hi hogi aur koi dukh meri beti ko dard nahi de payega. Vineet aur sab bahut pyar karte hai tumse,  ab unke bharose mujhe tumhari fikar nahi. " Suresh said teary eyed. 

Their  eyes were moist, And were engrossed  in the conversation. In the meantime, Kiran interrupted their  conversation. She placed a tray on a side table. 

"Suresh jee ab aapko fikar karne ki zarurat nahi hai. Hamari beti akeli nahi hai. Hum sab hai uske sath aur aap,  jab mann ho yahan aake use mil sakte hai. Bas ab toh shadi ki taiyariya kijiye. " Kiran said,  forwarding a cup of tea towards him. 

"Wo sab toh theek hai Kiran ji par, " Suresh paused while saying as something  was bothering  him. He was in deep thoughts. 

Kiran was confused and looked at him. "Par kya?"

Suresh took a deep sigh. "Angel ke bare mein kya sochna aapne?  I mean, is sab use bhi toh bahut zakham diye hai. Chahe wo dikhati nahi par andar se toh tutt chuki hai humein Ruhana ke sath sath uski khushi ka bhi sochna hai. "

Kiran smiled lightly. "jis tarah Ruhana waqt ke sath sambhal gayi wo hhi sambhal jayegi.  Waise bhi apne kaam mein itna busy hai ki use zyada sochne ka time hi nahi milta. Aap fikar mat kijiye, in sabko humne waqt pe chhod diya hai. "

Ruhana smiled. "Aur hum sab hai na uske sath." 

Kiran simply pecked her head. "Aap dono baatein kijiye, main Angel  ko coffee de ayu varna sara ghar sar pe utha legi. " she smiled and moved out of the room. 

She directly  headed towards Angel's room. She was about to step in but stopped to hear some sobbings. It was Angel, who was still in pain, a pain given to her by Sachin, the man whom she loved the most. 

"Mom coffee rakh dijiye aur chale jayiye. " Angel somehow  felt her mother's presence. 

Kiran was about to say something  but Angel cut her. "don't  worry mom,  dhire dhire sab thik ho jayega.  Chahe wo galat tha par mera pyar sacha tha. Use uske gunahon ki saza mil rahi hai aur mujhe ek galat insan se pyar karne ki saza. Mom ya toh main move on kar jaungi ya mujhe is dard ki adat ho jayegi. "She smiled  through  tears. 

Kiran said nothing  to see her daughter  like this. Her daughter  was happy go lucky girl,  but she turned different. This made Kiran's heart pinched. She simply moved out of the room as she knew nothing  will work out on Angel's pain.  It will be the time who healed her wounds. 

….

Time was passing, Ruhana got married to Vineet in this time. It was the first day after their  marriage. Ruhana and Vineet were still asleep. Ruhana's sleep was disturbing by the sunlight coming through  that huge window. Vineet opened his eyes when he heard a beep of his phone.
