The Aftermath
When I was in the car, I removed all my jewelries and told Ramu kaka to hand over it to my father. As I reached our guest house, I immediately ran inside. I went to my room straight away and went to washroom and stood under the shower. All the memories with Nikhil started flashing in my mind. Tears started flowing from my eyes continuously. I never in my dreams expected that the day that was supposed to be the best day of my life would turn out to be my worst nightmare. I'm even unable to express the pain and hurt which I'm going through right now. It's not just Nikhil, it's Veer too who has hurt me. I know all he wanted was my happiness, but that doesn't give him any right to take any decision regarding my life. It should be my decision regarding who'll stay in my life and who'll not. He should have told me everything and let me be the judge. But no, he had to take decisions on my behalf and like a hero sacrifice everything. Even my mother was there in it. Out of all the people, why it has to be my mother? I don't know for how long I stood there.
After letting out my grief, I felt better. After what felt like eternity, I came out and changed into my Pj's which I had in the closet and slept. Some times we just need to sleep over to digest all the chaos that has happened and start a new beginning.
As, I was very much exhausted, as soon as I laid on the bed, I fell asleep into a deep slumber. When I opened my eyes, it was pretty late and then my eyes fell on the clock it was 9 'o clock in the morning. I got up from the bed got freshened up and went downstairs to have my breakfast because I'm not someone who would skip meals, sit and cry all the day. When I entered the hall, I found Usha kaki, our care taker doing something in the kitchen. I said, "Good Morning Kaki, I need strong coffee and also make toast and juice for breakfast, I'm very hungry." She nodded my head and started making coffee for me.
I then sat on the coach and took the news paper that was there on the table. I know after yesterday's mishap; media people will definitely write about it. And like I thought, it was there on the headlines.
Dhrithi Saxena, the only heir of our top Industrialist Neeraj Saxena, broke her marriage with Nikhil Ahuja, current CEO of Ahuja groups, on her Wedding Day.
According to our sources, Miss. Saxena and Mr. Ahuja dated for 2 years and then decided to tie knot with elders' blessings. Miss Saxena and Mr. Rajveer Singh, only son of the CEO of RV constructions, Mr. Ranvijay Singh are best friends. Mr. Ahuja didn't like her friendship with Rajveer Singh, so he asked Miss. Saxena to stay away from Mr. Rajveer which apparently did not go well with Miss. Saxena. So, she broke her marriage and walked away from the venue.
Before I could finish the article, kaki brought me coffee. I asked her to switch on the TV. In all the news channels, they were only playing about my broken marriage. Even debates are held regarding my decision. One of them played, "Is Rajveer more than a friend?" I wanted to sue that news channel but then I calmed myself. I don't understand, what is their problem? Just for the sake of money, they cannot play with others emotions. Unable to take their nuisance anymore, I switched off the TV and went and sat on the dining table. Kaki brought my toast, I silently ate it and was about to go to my room but heard someone saying, "Hey Princess" I understood that it's my father. I immediately turned and saw him standing in the living room. I rushed to him and hugged him tightly, I couldn't control my tears so started crying. My father rubbed my back, to make me calm, then after a while I stopped crying and wiped my tears. He asked me, "How are you feeling Princess?" I replied, "I'm good but, how are you? How's everyone at home?" He gave me weak smile and said, "I'm good, everything is a mess outside but it'll be okay in a day or two. You shouldn't worry about anything. You tell me what do you want to do now?" I sighed and replied, "I just want to disappear from here"
He thought for a while and said, "Will you go to Newyork? You go and work under my manager there and when you feel like you're ready, you can start your firm or can take up my business. I'll make sure that your identity is not revealed. So, what say?" I immediately said ok because right now I have no better ideas. My father kissed on my forehead and said, "So, shall I make the arrangements for your travel?" I just nodded and hugged him tightly. This is what I actually wanted, A break from all this stupid nuisance. This is the best way to start everything freshly.
After that we spoke for a while, and chilled out. Then it was lunch time, we both had our lunch together. And then my father received a call, he excused and went to answer the call. After five minutes he came back and said, "Princess, your tickets are booked for tonight's flight. Your stay and everything are arranged" I jumped and hugged him tightly. He then asked me, "Will you come to our house before leaving? It's only your Mom present, all our relatives left in the morning itself." I just thought for a while and nodded my head. and before I could say anything he said, "We'll not inform your Mom where you're going. She deserves this punishment." I just nodded my head and after talking for a while about how it's going to be in Newyork and regarding my job, we left for our house.
When I entered our house, I saw my mom standing there. But I didn't look at her, instead I went to my room directly. She tried calling me but I didn't look at her. I packed all my stuff and after an hour I came down with my luggage. I went to my father and said, "I'll miss you" and hugged my father and I heard him saying, "I'll miss you too" I took his blessings and told him that I'll leave tonight from guest house itself and he said that he'll arrange a driver because it'll catch media's attention if he come to drop me in Airport. My father asked our servants to put them in the car. I then went to my Mom and said, "I wish I could forgive you. But I'll definitely try. Till then take care of yourself" and touched her feet and left from there even before she could hug me.
