My nightmare turned lover

Chapter - 43

***************************************

Astha's POV :-

" Get out!"

What? Did I heard her right? I turn to Samarth to confirm that but he too was in a state of shock as me so automatically I get that asking him is worthless.

" Aunty.."

" I said get out from here, away from my sight and from my Abhay." She said glaring at me. Infact she was throwing imaginary atom bombs at me. But thankfully it was imaginary or else we all know what could have been the consequences.

" Aunty but.."

" Don't call me that. You have lost the right to call me anything except 'MAM'." She said stressing the last word.

" But Ma.. atleast listen to what she wants to say.." Samarth was interrupted by the nurse who was attending Abhay.

" Mr. Saxena is slowly gaining consciousness." She smiled looking at us and then frowned looking at our..well not me as it was clearly of hurt and almost about to cry look, but the rest's angry face. " Uhh...we are taking him to his room." She said now looking a bit confused not knowing wheather we...uh again not me but the rest are happy with the news she presented right now or angry because they wanted the doctor to deliver that himself! But nevertheless she continued. " You can visit him once we shift him there. But.. only one at a time." And saying this she dashed out from there. Probably thinking that we will kill her for saying the last 'but' part.

" Oh thank god my son is alright. All the negativity around him *glares at me* couldn't do him any harm." She said.

" Ma.." Samarth was about to complain when I motioned him to not to do so and he complied.

We all started proceeding towards the room when Aunty stopped me again.

" Are you deaf or are you an idiot.."

" Anup.." Mr. Saxena chided her.

" What? I said the right thing. I told her just a moment before to go from here and..look she is still here and on top of that she is trying to come here too." Aunty said irritated.

I know, I know after hearing all these insults any sane person would have already left but nope not me. I will not leave unless I meet him and see with my own eyes that he is alright. The fact that he is here because of me is eating my conscience and I can't take it anymore. Moreover I need to tell him something. No matter how much sour words they throw at me I will not move an inch from here.

" She is a trouble and nothing else. I wonder if other orphans are like her too..."

" Ma.." " Anupama.."  Samarth and Mr. Saxena both exclaimed in shock and I stood there absorbing the pain that shoot through me on hearing that word.

" What? Why you two are taking her side. You know I was like you two a few years back too. But I was proved wrong. All lower class people are same. No matter how much love you give them it doesn't matter to them. All they need is money. *Looks at me.* But tell me isn't Abhay giving you all that you wanted. Weren't we giving you everything that you could ever achieve all by yourself? No but still you were not convinced. You saw another person more wealthier then him and there you go all running around him leaving everything behind. I took you as my daughter but guess gold diggers like you can't understand these. I bet your parents too were like that. Glad they died or else.."

" Enough." I finally lost my patience. No one and I repeat no one says a word about my parents and if they do then god help them from me.

" Enough aunty..oh sorry Mrs. Saxena, enough. You don't know a thing.." She interrupted me again.

" Oh I don't know a thing. Look who is talking!" She chuckled a little. " Girl I was there with my child when you left him mercilessly on his wedding day. I saw him getting humiliated when he came back home informing that you fled. Before people used to admire him, praise him and never had they had the guts to mock at him even behind his back but after that selfish stunt you played he became a laughing stock in the society. I can't forget that day..can you Samaksh?" She looked at Me. Saxena who sighed.  "Our child..he..he was so heartbroken that day..I never had seen him like that before. I was so mad at you that I wanted to teach you a lesson right there itself but then I got that people like you never changes. So wasting even my anger on you is not worth it. It had taken us two years...yes two years to bring him back to his normal self. And now that he have found a worthy girl for him.. you somehow learnt that. And again returned back to ruin his life again. Isn't? Because now that person for whom you left my gem ditched you right? Well you know what? It serves you right. And go find some other catch because this time I won't let my son to fall in your traps again and neither would any of us will." She said and I looked at her shock.

Is this the same aunty that I thought could fill my mother's place?

" Ma you don't know what you are saying. Stop it before you regret later." Samarth pleaded.

" Don't Samarth.. don't." I stopped him and then looked straight into her eyes because I know that each and every word she said about me is all wrong and I have done nothing like that. Her son was equally responsible for whatever happened that day.

" Mam.." I stressed the part. " I agree that I was not right to leave everything behind like that but don't you think that your son might could also have a role in whatever happened? And before commenting anything on anyone's parents don't you think that you should think about your's too. How would you feel if someone belittled you parents? Yes mine are dead.." A lump formed in my throat saying that but I continued. " But it doesn't mean that you can say anything about them. It's my parents teachings that I am standing here even after you said all those mean words to me and my parents without doing anything. Because they taught me to respect my elders. Aunty you are not in an era where the rich could do anything but the poors won't point a finger at them. And oh...in case you never knew..I am a successful model now. Infact your son himself have requested me to join his project and brought me here all from Canada. And for the gold digger part..let your sons tell you the entire thing. No I will not say anything here. You should know from your own son what he did to me that night. Not just that on numerous occasions before. Because.." I was interrupted by the doctor. And we all composed ourselves. I didn't shed a tear in midst of all these. Because shedding tears would mean that whatever she said about me and my parents are true and that I am guilty about it.

" He is wide awake. You can meet him now." The doctor said smiling.

" Good. Thank you doctor. I will go and see my son." Aunty said and was going to enter the room when the doctor stopped her.

" No Mrs. Saxena he is mumbling some Astha's name in his sleep. So we suggest that she must be there when he opens his eyes. It will relieve his stress." The doctor said looking directly at me. And now aunty totally turned into mother T. Rex hearing it and I rolled my eyes. But deep down I was happy that Abhay asked for me.

Now I am all determined to get him back even if I have to fight Anupama T. Rex aunty for it. I will. This time it will be me turning into Raj to get my Simran back and also justice to my ma and pa.

I know ' thoda jyada hi filmy ho gaya nahi'! 🤭
Ahh..yes I have a question again for you guys. Do you think Anupama aunty will say that famous dialogue to Abhay ( 'Ja Simran ja..ji le apni jindegi.' ) in the end?

And yeah I so hate Anupama aunty for saying those mean words to her. I liked her before but now I think I need to change my image on her. Yeah she is hurt but saying those things were not necessary, right? What do you guys think about this? Do let me know your thoughts on it.

And lastly don't forget to vote, comment and share please 😊.
