chapter 17

**Nobody's Point Of View**As soon as Panchali finished there was a peculiar smile on Saurabh's face. It was a villaneos smile. Panchali asked,' Why are you giving a peculiar smile?'. As soon as she said this Saurabh's smile vanished and he said seriously,' Actually I was thinking that you are in your 40s , who will marry you if you reject Aakarsh '. And Saurabh started to laugh..   ' What????I am in my 40s ? I will kill you ', replied Panchali gritting her teeths😾😾. And she started to run after him and they were looking like Tom and Jerry. And then Saurabh's leg got stuck and he fell but Panchali saved him.They both were lost in a different world when suddenly Panchali's phone rung and she left Saurabh and he fell and seeing him Panchali started to laugh😂😂.After finishing her call Panchali said ,' I have a important work in the office I will join you at the restaurant. No need to pick me up'. Saying this Panchali left.*****************At 8 pm in the evening: Saurabh was waiting for Panchali outside the restaurant when Panchali's car arrived and she stepped out and seeing her Saurabh just got lost. She was looking so beautiful. She was looking like a Angel in her grey gown.                           Saurabh was lost in her beauty, Panchali came to him and waved her hand in front of him . He got back into his senses. They went inside the restaurant together. Aakarsh had booked a VIP table for them . When they went inside the cabin Aakarsh was already there but with him there was another man. Saurabh was the first to enter the cabin , when Panchali got inside the cabin she stopped seeing the man. The man was in his 50s or 60s . And was looking at Panchali. Through his looks it felt like that he was seeing Panchali after a long time . He came to Panchali to hug her but Panchali stopped him with her hand ✋. As she stopped him he did not got angry instead he gave a smile and this is the first time he spoke. ' It's been 20 years and yet you are still angry with me? Won't you tell me how are you? ', he asked.' Do you think I can forgive you? I will never ever forgive you', Panchali replied.' But Panchi I am your...', he was saying when Panchali cut his words,' Panchali Ghosh , Only the persons who are close to me call me Panchi'. ' But , I am your father dear', he said.' That is the sorrow of my lifetime that I am YOUR daughter', she said pointing her finger.' Look Panchali the thing happened 20 years ago is still haunting me , I have already got the punishment, please forgive me', he said while tears were dropping from his eyes.' You are a murderer , You murdered my mother. What did she do ? Was it her fault that you were involved with the underworld? Was it her fault that you conducted your Secret meeting at the house? Was it her fault that she overheard your conversation???', she asked while hot tears dropped from her eyes.' You know, that I had no other choice', he said lowering his eyes.' Great! To maintain your Secret you could murder your own wife? If I had heard your talks you would have also murdered me?', she asked . The man looked at her.' Who brought him here? Aakarsh ? You?', she asked looking at Aakarsh and he replied in a yes.' I never expected this from you atleast', saying this Panchali left the hotel.**************Saurabh's Point Of View**I was listening to all these conversation dumbfoundedly. The man is Panchali's father , who killed her mother!???But she said to me that her mother died of cancer . I was involved in thinking this when Aakarsh called me . ' Please Saurabh go with her'. I ran behind her but by the time I reached there she was gone , I took my Royal Enfield and started to go , where? I don't know. Suddenly I don't know why I diverted my bike towards the Park. And I was right she was sitting on a bench in the park , crying. I went to her and placed my hand on her shoulder. She turned towards me and started to cry . I could feel her hot tears in my chest. I moved my hands through her hairs . She was crying continuously when an idea flashed in my mind. I said,' Don't move your face , because as you have cried your make up must have spoiled and you must be looking like a CHURAIL'. As soon as I finished she looked at me angrily. And I started to laugh , seeing me laughing she also started to laugh. After a while she was looking at the stars when I asked her ' Why are you so angry with your father? Why did you say that he murdered your mother?'. She sighed and replied,' I lied to you Abhi. My mother didn't died of cancer , she was murdered. In fact she never had cancer'.*************************So , guys what do you think had happened to Panchali's mother? Why was she saying that her father killed her mother? Why did she lied to Abhi?
