Vardhan Pov

Next Day -

Shrishti got shifted to the normal ward .
Her mother and her lovely sister cried as she gained her consciousness back .

Sandhya even apologized to her for not trusting her making me smile sadly.

Daddyyyyy....Amu tapped on my leg and I picked her in my arm kissing her cheek .
Arrr u sadd....she asked cupping my face and I smiled kissing her palm .

No my love ....Why would I be sad .....Daddy is okayyy Amu ....I said and she smiled at me .
My heartbeat knows I am not okay although she is just 3.
I hugged her to my chest kissing her head .

Whyy mumma cyinggg....is she Hungly....Amu asked and I shook my head.
Mumma is fine.... She just missed Maasi ...that's why she is crying....I told her and she nodded resting her head on my chest .

I gave Amu to Vihaan asking him to take her out .
Dad And Maa were inquiring shrishti about her health.

I left the room too without meeting Shrishti as I know she would not like my presence around her .
I called Rahul and asked him about the work that I asked him to do and he assured me that it will be done in an hour .

I was standing by the window in the corridor looking out when Sandhya cleared her throat gaining my attention.

Itna sab karne k baad bhi aapke face p bilkul bhi guilt nahi hai Vardhan .....she asked me and I just chuckled humorlessly making her shook her head in disbelief.

Hmmm but I see guilt in your eyes dear wife ...I asked her and she looked at me with moist eyes .
Because I am.......just because of my blind trust on you ....my sister is suffering so much .
Uski jaan bhi jaa sakti thi Vardhan ....she said and tears flowed out of her eyes .

How could you be so stone hearted . You also a father to a daughter....kal ko Amu k saath.....I grabbed her by neck before she could even complete that sentence.

Don't You Bloody Dare .....I warned her in my cold tone making her shiver with fear .
Meri Beti k baare mei asa sochne vaale ki jaan leluga mei ....I gritted out and left her with a jerk .

kya Shrishti kisi ki beti nahi hai .....she whispered while crying and I glared at her .
Leave before I loose my control and do something that I will really regret....I said and she left not before giving me a look of disbelief.

I left the hospital to calm myself down before I do something disastrous.

Sandhya pov-

Shrishti got discharged in the evening and we brought her home .
Dad , Maa and Vihaan left to Delhi with Amu as everything was fine here while I decided to stay back .

And about Vardhan..... I didn't see him after the afternoon incident.
I cried thinking about him ....how can he do something like that ....
I still couldn't come in terms with the fact that he can do something like this but the proofs clearly are against him .

I wish all of this turns out to be false . I am not feeling good about all this .
Vardhannnn.........I whispered crying my heart out .
I am feeling all alone today .
My little baby Amu ......even she is not here with me to make me smile.

I shouldn't have let her go but I didn't want to keep her in this tensed atmosphere.

Papa entred the room after knocking and I immediately wipped my tears and gave him a small smile.

Roo rahi thi meri beti .....he asked caressing my head and I couldn't hold my tears back and hugged him tightly.
Papa...... everything is falling apart........I don't believe Vardhan could do any such thing.....I sobbed in his arms .

He consoled me and calmed me down a bit .
But beta why did you say all those things to him when you don't believe it in your heart ....he asked holding my palm .
Because I can't deny the video too .....I whispered.
Both the things can't be right Sandhya.....
He stated .
And that's what the delimma is ....I said .

We heard the door Bell ring and Moved to the hall .
Papa opend the door and it was Vardhan .
I felt relieved seeing him there but I was hurt too so didn't show it on my face .

Arey Vardhan ....come beta ....Papa invited him in and he briefly nodded looking at me .
Can you please call everyone of your family in the hall for once .....he requested making me frown but Papa nodded .

Soon Shrishti and maa entred the hall and Papa asked them to take a seat while Vardhan simply walked towards the tv and attached a pen drive to it .

A video similar to what we saw earlier started playing on the tv .

Vardhan offered Rishab the money and He Accepted unlike the video making me gasp and others have the same reaction too .
Rishab even asked for more in order to leave shrishti and go to the states .

Later he and Vardhan got into an argument and he said something bad about me and Amu making Vardhan loose his temper and he punched him .

Rishab even threatened Vardhan when the security was dragging him out .
Shrishti cried seeing the video while Maa hugged her sobbing too .

I looked at Vardhan dying with regret while he stood there blankly.
He pulled out the pendrive and keeping it in his pocket.

Rishab Thakur is involved with other girls too and I have got him arrested under several criminal charges ....Vardhan stated .

Papa got up from his seat and hugged Vardhan thanking him .
I knew that boy has some ulterior motive behind all this love facade .
Thank-you so much bete ....Papa said and he just nodded .

I am really Sorry beta .....I got so blinded in my daughter's love that I blamed you and trusted that video ......please forgive me ...Maa said joining her hands while sobbing.

It's okay .. aapko ye sab karne ki jarurat nahi hai .....he said .
Shrishti ran to her room crying while Maa and Papa followed her .

I looked at him with tears of regret continuously flowing out of my eyes .
Words chocked in my throat and I felt sudden tightness in my chest.

He looked at me momentarily before heading out and I instantly walked behind him .

Vardhannnn .....please......Ruk jaiye ..... Vardannnñ...I called him .
I couldn't run being pregnant but He suddenly stopped and turned towards me .

I walked towards him hastily and cried holding his hand and resting my head on his chest .
I was so drowmed in the guilt that I couldn't even form words to ask his forgiveness.

S_sorryyyy.......I_I......I breathed heavily trying to form coherent words .
Stop crying .....he said holding my arm dettaching himself from me .

Pleaseeeee.....I pleaded not knowing what exactly I was pleading for ..
Vardhannnnn.........I just cried and suddenly started feeling dizzy but he held me on time .

He walked me back in the house and gave me some water to drink after making me sit on the couch .
I drank some water and tried to regulate my breathing.

My head was aching badly like it would burst any time .
Feeling better ....he asked keeping the glass on the table and I just managed to node .

Go tou your room and take some rest .....he said getting up from the couch and I just held his hand making him look at me .

I am sorryyy....I whispered and bit on my lip to stop myself from crying further.
It's okay .....don't stress yourself. It's not good for your and baby's health ....he said and I nodded .

I know I have hurt.....

I said it's okay . End of the discussion. Let's just not talk about it now . You need to sleep . It's quite late now ....he said cutting me off in between.

Aap nahi aayege mere saath ....I asked and he sighed .
No! I am leaving back to Delhi ....it would be difficult for Maa to handle Amu otherwise .....he stated .

Thik hai phir ....mei bhi chalti hu ....I said wiping my tears .
Nahi ...tum ruko kuch din yahi ....stay with your parents and sister ...they need you here .........He said and I just shook my head .

Mujhe aapke saath Jana hai ....I said trying my  best not to cry . I could see how badly I have hurt him .

That won't look good . Spend some time here and even you wanted to come here earlier......you don't have to come with me ......He said calmly but I could see how distant he looked.
His eyes showed no emotions .

You don't want me to come to Delhi .....I whispered clutching my dupatta tightly in my hand and he looked at me finally.

You can come there any time you want . But for now I would suggest you to be here ...with your parents....He said and I nodded .

I held his arm as he turned to go.
Can I hug you once......I asked as a lone tear escaped my eye.

Before he could say anything Papa entred the hall.
Vardhan ...aap dono rest Karo beta ...Papa said to him .

Ji nahi ...Mei bas abhi Delhi k liye Nikal raha hu .....hum dono mei se ek ka uske saath hona zaroori hai ....he said .

I should take your leave now . He said and touched Papa's feet and looked at me briefly before
He left .,......
