Chapter 29

Nikhil

Vidhi and her mother was sitting on the sofa and my relative were around them. I was near Vidhi and was holding her hand.

"Mamma tell us what is the truth." Vidhi said and he mother looked at Vidhi with sad eyes and gave her a sad smile. She caressed her hair and kissed her forehead.

"the story starts from 28 years ago. That time I was a college student. Manish Verma used to study with us and he was completely behind me. He was known as the gangster of the college. How many time I had tried to tell him so many times that I don't have any interest in him. Even if someone used to come near me and especially it would be a boy he would beat them up.

He slowly become pshyco. That day I have some work with my teacher so I have to stay quite and that day he came up to me and started to misbehave with me. There was no one left but me and before he could go further someone pulled him off and that was your father. He had protected me and from that day he started to consider us as his enemy.

He didn't disturbed me for good few months and we become close. We both were ready to tell our parents but before we could do anything there was a bug surprise for me waiting at my home.

Manish had came to my home to ask my hand in marriage. I wanted to tell my parents about him and his misbehavior with me but whenever I used to come up with this topic he would change that topic. My parents like him and fixed my marriage with him and didn't even asked me about my choice. He had already told me that he will claim me by hook or crook and when I told this to your father he had tried to do something but before he could take any step Manish took the step and that was killing your father so that he could claim me.

He was almost successful. The night when all thought that we ran away that day Manish had came to your father and stabbed him but before he could do anymore damage to your father. I was able to hit and make him faint and was able to take him away from there. One of my friend helped me to brought your father to Amritsar and for good few days he was under observation and than we decided to tell our parents all the things but none of them wanted to hear us. My sibling was also mad at me. So we decided that we will get married. And we did get married and we were happy enough and soon we came to know after few months that he was married already and wanted me that's why he killed his first wife." She said and I my hating feeling for him increased

"When you came out happiness got double and after 10 years of your birth he came back and I come to know when someone told me that some people were following me and soon he got the chance and killed your father which he showed as the accident." By now her eyes were filled with tears. Vidhi squeezed her mother hand.

"You didn't told me anything before and why he kidnapped me? " Vidhi asked.

"So that he can get you married with his son, so that he can torture you and take the revenge from me. Now for him it is impossible to get me so he was using you as the medium. He is complete a pschyo." Her mother and by now she was in tears. I went in front of her.

"Aunty please don't cry. He is now behind the bar and now he can never come back." I said and she smiled a little.

"Yeah mamma he will not come back and if he came than he will pay this time hard." Vidhi said.

"Vishakha." Someone called and it was Vidhi's materal grandmother and she embraced her in her arms

"You have taken so many years to tell the truth my child." Grandma said and was patting her back and Grandma also engulfed Vidhi and kissed her forehead. Vidhi stand up and stand beside me and I looked at her and she was having tears of joy. She was happy.

"So...my son is no more." Mrs. Bhardwaj said and aunty nodded with tears and Mrs. Bhardwaj broke down as well. I know there is so much to gain in one time only.

"I don't want to know anything. I don't accept Vidhi as my daughter in law. What you see in her? Bhoomi is far better than her. " My dad said and I sighed.

"Dad don't you think you are questioning my relationship? But no problem. She might be having flaws but my love doesn't allow me to see her flaw. I love her and anything else about her I don't know. She is perfect for me. She knows many things about me maybe you also don't know and about Bhoomi she must be perfect but my Mrs. Perfect is right beside me and is with me as my wife. He Mr. Perfect is around her only and dad please don't put your decision on me once again. You always do that and compress other opinion." I said and he was shocked with my word.

"Because of that girl you are talking with your father like that. I don't think that you are my Nikhil now." He said. He is doing melodrama. I sighed.

"I won't leave her." He came towards us but someone stops him and that was Bhoomi.

"Uncle, I also don't wanted to marry Nikhil. It was like my father had forcefully told me to do that. A married is not only a promise between two people but a whole family. You are questioning Vidhi but I would say that she is the perfect girl for Nikhil. I had many times saw Nikhil seeing at Vidhi with love but I think your pride is blocking your way. If you can't take your own kids choice then how will you become a good parent to you own kid." Bhoomi said.

"You and my dad once again trying to put your own decisions on us. You want to know what it will result in than listen it will result in our life destruction. You are doing the same mistake which Vidhi's grandparent are doing. Without listening to their choice putting your decision. It will keep you only happy but it will take away many life." Bhoomi said and I think my father will get some sense now.
