chapter 65
Her claim
So finally I am able to complete this part after writing three days. So I decided to publish it in the morning only. I hope this part will make your morning good.
So good morning and let's startâ¦.
Author's POV.
Abhimaan reached Vidhyutâs place. When he didn't find them he started looking for them. When he reached upstairs he found Vidhyut seated on a floor while resting his back on the door and buried his face in his knees.
âVidhyutâ he spoke,
He looked up and found Abhimaan. Tears are already in his eyes. He spoke in his crack voice,
â She⦠she â¦will leave⦠meâ¦â
Abhimaan looked his condition and hugged him and console,
â She won't.â
âIâ¦knowâ¦she.. will.â
â But where is she?â
â Insideâ¦.I locked her.â
Listening to this, Abhimaan's eyes went wide. But before he can say anything Vidhyut spoke,
â I know ⦠I am doing wrong. You know it's hurting me as much as it hurts her. But I can't let her know. I know she deserves better but for her I am selfish.â
Just then kajal and Advika also reached there. When they came to know all this they were shocked. All of them tried their best to make him understand that he should not lock her. And give her time. But he was not ready to listen to anything.
â No no no all of you are not understanding. She will leave me if I open this door. I can't let that happen.â
â I won't let that happen trust me.â Abhimaan tried to make him understand.
â No.â He said firmly.
â Don't you trust me.â
â I do butâ¦â he didn't completely just look down. Abhimaan tried to take him away from the door. But he was not ready to move. And pushed him.
â I am telling you Abhi. Stay out of this matter. I won't let her go.â
â HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND SHE IS NOT GOING ANYWHERE. JUST GIVE ME A PLACE TO ENTER.â
Abhimaan shought on him. But when he pushed him; his anger reached on his pick and he slept Vidhyut,
â COME BACK TO YOUR SENSE. PAGAL JESI HARKETE BADHA KARO.â
Vidhyut couldn't control himself anymore and started crying. Kajal ran to him and hugged him. Abhimaan pushed him and entered inside. And closed the door.
*****************
Jeevika was sleeping on her stomach and crying while digging her face in the pillow. Abhiâs heart broke looking at this scene. Both the people whom he loves dearly are suffering. Jeevika was so much into crying that she didn't realize that someone entered the room.
â Jeevi baby.â He spoke slowly.
She looked at him and stood up from bed and went into the corner. She still hasn't forgotten the scene she witnessed in the warehouse. He knows that has to handle the situation calmly so he took breath and spoke,
â Jeevi Sweetie, please listen to us and try to understand. We won't harm you. No need to be scared.â
When she didn't reply he showed her his hands and said,
â Look Sweetie. Trust me. I don't have anything I won't harm you. I am Abhi. Your brother. Tell me baby have I ever made you feel scared. You know right how much we love you hena? Just trust us everything will be alright.â
He spoke while looking in her eyes. She also looks in his eyes. And remember all the time she has spent with them. How much he took care of her. Even helped her maa. Listen to all her rents. Fight with her like a child. Also helped her when Vidhyut was angry. Always support her just like an elder brother should do.
She looked at him for two minutes and then ran to his arms and hugged him and started crying. He also let her cry. Once she calmed down. He made her seat on bed and spoke,
â Now Jeevi Sweetie listen to me carefully. ok.â
She nodded her head and she continued,
â Jeevi it's not Vidhyut who is involved in the Mafia. It was me. He just joined me when he came to know about this. I won't say that we don't kill or touchur people but you see they are also not innocent people. We surely do bad deeds. But also so many times we rescued the girls who got into human trafficking. Human trafficking is something we never do. Apart from that we do so many bad things. But you know our past right. Jeevi situation made us like this and we have no choice. But jeevi, that is all different. We never let that thing affect our personal life. Tell me, has he ever behave badly with you, bad mouth you, made you suffer in any way?â
She nodded her head in no.
â See jeevi. We surely have a bad side. We surely do bad things but do you know our good side? Do you know about our good deeds?â
Again when she nodded in no he stood up from his place and said,
â You have seen our side and now let me show you our good side.â
She was hesitant at first but then remembering how loving they were with him she wiped her tears and stood up. But then again set.
â He won't let me go out.â
â Trust me sweetie. He will. Come â
He holds her hand and take out.
******************
When they reached downstairs everyone was seated. Kajal was hugging Vidhyut. As soon as they saw them he stood up from his place.
â Where are you taking her? I won't let her go.â
â Vidhyut stop with your nonsense. I won't let you cage her. She is free and doesn't need your permission to go out. And now she is going out with me.â
Saying he took her out.
****************
Soon they reached somewhere. He came out and helped Jeevika. Jeevika saw that they were in front of some old-age home. She looked at him with a confused expression. He just smiled and took her inside. As soon as people who are staying there saw them come to them. And smiled looking at Abhimaan.
â How are you beta?â One of the ladies asked.
â I am fine. How are you all?â He asked.
â All of us are good. Vidhyut nahi aaya.â She asked again.
â Nahi use kuch Kam tha to nahi aaya. Lakin dekho me kese laya hu aapse Milne.â
Saying he made Jeevika stand in front. Who was listening silently.
â Ye kon hai?â she asked but all others are also very curious to know who she is and they never took someone else here, only they came.
â Vidhyut ki Jeevikaâ he replied.
All of them laugh and then one of the uncle spoke,
â To esa bolo na Vidhyut ka little Patakha.â
And all of them laugh again. She pouted listing to this. And looked abhi. So he said,
â Esa mat bolo uncle kahi ham par fat gya to yaha Vidhyut bhi nahi hai sambhal ne ke liye.â
Listening to this all of them laugh and jeevika hits Abhimaan on his shoulder with pout in her face. One if the old woman came forward and hold Jeevika's hand and said,
â Bas bas ab koi meri bachi na mazak nahi udayega.â
And was about to take jeevika with her that time Abhimaan spoke,
â Aunty, she didn't have her lunch.â
She looked at Jeevika and shook her head and took her with him. Many of them went to her and some stayed with Abhimaan. She served a plate for jeevika and started feeding her with her hand. Jeevika got emotional and confused with this so she is asked,
â Why are you doing this for me Aunty? You didn't even know me.â
She chuckled at her question and said,
â You are our Vidhyutâs jeevika. It's enough for us to love you. You know beta when our own blood leaves us. That time he supported us, cared for us, built a place so we can have a rufe on our head.â
Jeevika can't control herself and asked,
â But do you know Aunty he isâ¦..â
But realizing that she should not reveal this. It can lead them to trouble. And she looked down but when she listened to her her head shorted up.
â That he is Mafia, criminal, kill peopleâ
Jeevika looked at her with an open mouth. She put morsal in her mouth and closed it and said,
â I know, in fact everyone knows. But we don't care about that. Because we love him. Beta everyone has two different sides. As much as they are good and loveable they are also bad. But you see if you always feel safe and good there is no need for their second side to come out. But in the worst situation your bad side comes out. And then there was no way to go back. Same thing happened with him. But beta has more good than bad. You just have to decide if you want to hate him for one bad thing or love him for all the other things?â
All this talk made her realize that he always listens to her and understands her but when her turn comes she doesn't. This made her cry tears roll down her eyes. The lady who was making her understand hugged her. And said,
â It's ok beta, you can always go back to him. I am sure he must be waiting for you.â
She nodded her head and went out. When she saw Abhimaan there she run to him and said,
â I want to go to my Vidhyut.â
â Come.â He said while smiling. All of them present there also smiled. He mouthed Thank you to them. To which they just nodded.
*************
As soon as they entered the home she saw Vidhyut who was sitting on the sofa with his head in his hand.
â Vidhyutâ she called him.
As he Heard her voice looked up. She just ran into his arms. He stumbled but caught her but held her. They kept hugging her. Once they broke hug jeevika spoke,
â I am sorry I was scared so I don't know how to react.â
â No no baccha. I am sorry. I shouldn't have behaved with you like that. I was scared that you would leave me so I behaved like that with you.â
â When you know you were wrong then why did you lock me?â
She asked, still in his arms but hitting him lightly on his cheeks. He hissed at this. That time Jeevika noticed his little swollen cheek with a cut near his lips. She tresse her finger on it and asked with frown on her face,
â Who did this?â
Vidhyut looked at Abhimaan. She turned around and soon realized. She narrowed her eyes at him and turned completely towards him while keeping her hands on her hips.
So here is the update. I hope you like this.
Did you like how Abhimaan supported Jeevika and made her understand things in different ways?
Did you like to calmly handle situations ?
What do you think about Vidhyut's reaction?
