chapter 71

At the end of the last part of the story you read... Geeta, due to talking to Amar, changes her plan of taking her parents with her the next morning and reaches her in-laws' house with her brother Prakash and Rimjhim...Now onwards.......After Pratik and his family happily bid farewell to the house, Lalit's father asks his younger son to leave for the petrol pump and asks Neha to rest in her room. Neha and Rajesh get up and leave.Lalit, Lalit's parents and Geeta are sitting in the hall. Ranjit's mother had already told her husband everything that she had heard from Geeta and Lalit the night before.Lalit's father starts saying: "Lalit and bahu both listen carefully, what is going on between you two, your mother-in-law has told me half of the details, I will ask both of you one by one, before that I want to tell you some things about us""It has been almost 30 years since we got married, till date we have never had any estrangement or fights between us except for small disputes."We have spent these 30 years on the foundation of trust in each other.  We have spent our lives being honest with each other, never left any scope for doubting each other's character""If in married life, one suspects either of the husband or wife of having an illegal relationship or if either of them deliberately tries to have an immoral relationship, then understand that their homes are destroyed, I have seen, I know a few such families""Now tell me about whom is this rift going on between you two"Lalit says: "Babuji, this .......Lalit's father interrupts him and makes him quiet, saying: "You keep quiet for now, first I have to listen to what the daughter-in-law has to say, because if the matter was not so serious, she would not have left her house in Chandni Chowk and gone to her maternal home with Rimjhim daughter, but would have come to us, first you speak Geeta"Geeta says: "Babuji! The matter was so serious that my mind had stopped working, I was not able to understand what to do? Babuji! When the mind is sad, then at such times the mother and father come to my mother's house, that's why I came to my mother's house""Babuji! Lalit deceived a young virgin girl of his office by telling her a lie that I am unmarried and I will marry you in court, and trapped her in a love trap and made an illicit relationship with her"Lalit angrily says: "Babuji! This Geeta...Lalit's father angrily points his finger towards him and says: "Shut up! Don't say anything, be absolutely quiet!"Lalit becomes silent, Geeta says "Yesterday evening in the coffee house, the whole truth about Lalit came out, that girl exposed Lalit in front of everyone and hit him on the head with her sandal, in front of me...., ask me if I am saying the wrong thing?" "Babuji, if they had any shame, they should have drowned themselves in a handful of water, my heart is broken badly, I had so much faith, that entire faith is now broken", saying this Geeta starts crying.Lalit's father stops Geeta from crying and asks Lalit: "Yes Lalit, what do you have to say on this now? Say it without lying, I don't like lies"While Geeta was telling, Lalit was listening quietly and thinking that now there is no use in lying, because Geeta, Amar and Vatsala together will expose my lie in front of Papa, so it seems better to surrender quietly, I will teach them a lesson later"Lalit makes a sad face and says: "Babuji!  I was carried away by Vatsala's beauty, I could not stop myself, this was my biggest mistake, now my love fever has subsided, I apologize to Geeta, and will not make such a mistake again, I regret what has happened, I regret it""I would like to apologize to mummy and you too that please forgive me for the mistake I have committed knowingly, being married, I should not have played with a girl's life, I am asking for forgiveness from all of you with folded hands for the last time, if such an incident occurs next time, never forgive me"Lalit was standing with folded hands, everyone was looking at him. Geeta could not understand what move Lalit had made. Lalit's parents also started thinking. After a few moments, Lalit's father said to Geeta: "Bahu, now that Lalit is apologizing for his mistake, I leave it to you whether you should forgive Lalit or not? Because he has cheated you...To be Continued ........
