Angel's POV

I was inside the room, I was packing my things. Finally, the real culprit was behind the bars and my sister was safe. But, this city was still a stranger to me. This house gave me happiness, but a lifetime pain for my sister.

Naina entered inside, she said "Angel.. Beta mujhe kuch kehna hai..."

"Kya kehna hai aapko? Aap apne pati ka sach jaanti thi? Fir bhi chup rahi, meri behen ki zindagi barbad ho gayi aapki chupi ki wajah se" I said angrily.

"Janti hun main beta.. Par main majboor thi. tumhari behen ko bachana chahti thi main bahut koshish bhi ki but unhe nhi rok paayi main. Chup rahi taaki mera beta kamyab ban sake.. Use maine sanskar diye har ladki ki izzat karna sikhaya.. Yahi mera prashicit raha mainekasam khayi thi apne bete ko kabhi unke jaisa ghatiya nahi banne dungi Sachin ki koi galti nahi hai please usko aise chodke mat jao" she requested me.

I had tears in my eyes, I loved Sachin. He was indeed a good person but he had hurted me. He did not trusted me.

"Wo toot gaya hai apne papa ke iss sach se, tum bhi agar aise uska saath chod dogi toh kya hoga uska?" Naina asked.

"I am sorry maa.. Main yahan nahi rah sakti hun. So nhi paati hai Manvi raat ko.. Khauf dekhti hun uski aankhon mein main. Issi ghar mein main uski raksha nahi kar paayi mera faisla nahi badlega main wapas jaungi apne ghar" I said in determined tone.

I packed my stuff and moved downstairs taking the suitcase.

Manvi was standing at the corner, I moved to her and held her hand. I started to walk towards the door.

"Sachin.. Roko bahu ko.." Naina said while climbing down the stairs.

He held my wrist "ruko Angel.."

I turned to him and asked "kyun ruku main yahan?"

"I am sorry... maine tumhari baat nahi maani, tumhe galat saabit karne mein lag gaya." he said with guilt.

"Exactly Sachin.. Yaad hai? Shaadi se pehle tumne kya kaha tha ki manvi ab meri bhi zimmedari hogi koi aanch tak nhi aane dunga main uspe but you did not keep your promise. Tumhe toh yakeen hi nahi tha ki aisa kuch ho sakta uske saath uska bas ek vehem bata diya tumne" I said with teary eyes.

"Angel... sorry bharosa karo mera mujhe nahi pata tha mere Dad aise.." He tried to speak but I cut him

"Bharosa hi toh nahi raha tumpar Sachin.. Wade tode tumne uss waqt mera saath chod diya jab mujhe sabse zyada tumhare support ki zaroorat thi, you stood with your father.. Kya main aur Manvi tumhari family nhi they haan?" I yelled at him.

"Manvi cheekh cheekh ke kehti rahi Uncleji asli mujrim hai par tumne nahi suni.. Meri bhi nhi suni tumne toh Sachin.. Kaise bharosa karlun main tumpar ki aage jaake kuch hoga toh tum bharosa karoge mujhpar ya Manvi par haan?" I asked.

"Tumhari maa asliyat jante hue chup rahi ab tak.. Agar unhone stand liya hota to Manvi ke saath wo sab nhi hua hota Sachin.. Nahi main tumpar vishwas karne ki galti dobara nahi kar sakti hun.." I declared my decision.

"Angel... please ek mauka do.." He said.

"Nahi.. jab mauka diya tumne kuch nahi kiya Sachin.. Ye wahi Manvi hai jisne tumhe aur mujhe milaya, kya nhi kiya humhe ek karne ke liye aur tum.. Uski baaton pe bharosa tak nahi kar sake... meri behen blind hai lekin hai toh insan na.. Jo aam ladki suffer kar sakti hai wo bhi kar sakti hai.. Ek blind ladki bhi shikar hoti hai Sachin, tumne mera tumse shaadi karne ka faisla galat saabit kiya ek baar nahi baar baar kiya.." I yelled...

"Tum kuch nahi samjhoge Sachin.. I can't live with you tumne bahut hurt kiya hai mujhe I can't trust you anymore.. Aur na iss ghar ke logo par" I said.

I held Manvi's hand and exited the door. The cab was waiting for us. I made Manvi sit inside, I sat in after her. The cab moved, tears slipped down my eyes.

"Di.. please.. Jiju.." she tried to say.

I cut  her with "kaha na maine.. Koi sawal nahi.. He isn't a part of our life anymore." I said firmly.

She looked at me with teary eyes. She kept her head on my shoulder. I cupped her face..

Sachin was standing at the door and watched her leave. Naina kept her hand on his shoulder.. "I did a mistake maa.. Aur mujhe saza mili.. Maine bharosa nahi kiya uspar agar uski khushi mujhse door rehne mein hai toh wahi sahi.."

We arrived at the airport, I looked and Arjun was standing there. I smiled at him "Arjun.. I am sorry tumpar haath uthaya maine peeta bhi tumhe par tum samajh sakte ho sab.."

"Main samajhta hun bhabhi.." he said.

"Thanks Arjun.. Tumhari wajah se sach saamne aa gaya..." I said.

"Please aap mujhe sharminda mat karo.." he said, he then looked at Manvi "thanks Manvi.. Mujhpar bharosa rakhne ke liye.."

She smiled and said "tumpar toh bharosa mujhe hamesha se tha Arjun.. Tum mere sabse ache dost ho aur hamesha rahoge.."

"Sorry uss din tumhe aisi waise baatein boli.." he said.

"No Arjun.. Problems toh tumhe hui.. Tumhe jail jaana pada.." she said.

"Are wo sab sort ho gaya na.. Mujhpe sab charges hata diye gaye hai.. Aur haan kabhi bhi meri zaroorat ho toh mujhe call kar dena main ab bhi tang karne waala dost hun Manvi ka hitler di.." he said teasingly.

I smiled at this.

"Bye.. Arjun.. Aate rehna milne" I said.

He nodded and we entered inside the airport.

Pune

We were back to our home. We stepped out of the cab. I glanced at the building, I smiled. The watchman came and greeted me "Angel.. Aap.. bada hi yaad kiya aap dono ko"

"Ab hum yahi rahenge hamesha.. Kaka ye samaan" I said.

"Are aap chalo apne ghar main leke aata hun" he said with a smile.

I smiled at his gesture, I held Manvi's hand we moved upstairs. The society people still respected us. I unlocked the house and we entered inside.

Manvi moved to her room directly, she had a good memory. She remembered the way correctly. I followed her in and found her lying on bed. She was sobbing silently.

I knew, she was upset because of my decision of separating from Sachin.I sat beside her "manvi.."

She looked up at me and hugged me tightly "kyun di phirse ye faisla liya aapne? Kyun alag hue jiju se aap sirf mere liye?"

"Maine kuch galat nahi kiya hai mannu.. Usne mera saath nahi diya kabhi.. Aur main kaise bharosa kar lun uspe ki aage jaake wo mera saath dega aur jab baat tumhari ho toh mere liye kuch matter nahi karta hai" I explained to her.

She departed from hug and looked at me silently. I held her hand and said "mujhe koi jeevan saathi nahi chahiye mannu.. Sachin ke aane se pehle bhi hum jee rahe they na? Khush they hum Hamari choti si duniya mein toh aajse kya hum wahi shuruwat nahi kar sakte?"

She shook her head in yes, "Di par.. Mere saath jo hua.. Uske baad.."

"Jo hua wo galat tha par tumhari zindagi ruk nahi jayegi usse.." I said cupping her face.

"Tum dekh nhi sakti but talent hai na tum mein.. Apni kamzori ko apni takat banaya hai na tumne.. Aage bhi wahi karo aur main janti hun meri mannu bahut strong hai karegi na nayi shuruwat mere saath?" I asked.

She nodded.. "Karungi.. Jabtak aap mere saath ho mujhe kisika darr nahi hai you are everything for me Di.."

I wiped her tears, and she wiped mine. I kissed her forehead and hugged her

5 years Later

It has been 5 years, since I had returned to Pune with Manvi. We were leading even better life than before. Manvi had expanded her business of artifacts and crafts. She owned her own shop which was running successfully.

I was now, top doctor of the town. I returned home from the hospital.

I sat down on the couch as it was tiring day. A little girl came and handed me a glass of water. I looked at her and smiled "Thank you baby.." I took the glass and drank the water.

The little girl complained "main bahut gussa hun"

I asked "kyun??"

She crossed her arms around her chest and said "maasi Ruhi ko unke saath nahi leke gayi aaj"

"Haww.. very bad.. Kahan hai aapki maasi ache se unki khabar lete hai" I said.

Ruhi smiled and I stood up.

"Shh.. unhe pata nahi chalna chahiye hum aa rahe hai" she said keeping her finger on her lips.

I agreed to the girl.

She held my hand and we headed towards Manvi's room. She was crafting something. She said "aa gayi aap Di.. Ruhi aapne milk finish kiya?" she asked.

I sighed,, Ruhi frowned "maasi aapko hamesha pata chal jaata hai jab bhi main aur mumma aate hai hum toh kuch kehte hi nahi"

Manvi turned and smiled.. "Six sense.." she said.

"Haan.. pata hai ye batao tum Ruhi ko kyun nhi leke gayi saath?" I questioned.

"Di.. aapki beti ka kal exam hai usko saath leke jaati toh padhai kaise hoti?" she said.

I glared at Ruhi, who made an innocent face "Ruhi unki shop pe bhi padhai kar leti.. But unhone nahi suni Ruhi ki baat" she spoke sadly.

"Waha bahut disturbance hota Di.. padhai nhi ho paati iski" she argued.

"Mumma, aapki behen Ruhi ki koi baat nahi maanti hai.." my daughter complained.

"Offo tum dono na..Mannu tu bhi kya bachi sang bachi ban gayi hai" I said.

She smiled and replied.. "Wo toh main ban gayihun, ab aap sambhalte raho hum dono ko zindagi bhar kyun Ruhi?"

Ruhi ran to her and side hugged her "haan maasi.."

I was left with open mouth "itni jaldi party badal li.."

Ruhi giggled.. Manvi came to me, she stopped when Ruhi shouted "ruko maasi.."

I glanced at the  little girl, she removed the stool which was coming her way. "Ye aapko lag jaata.. Ab aap jao mumma ke paas" she said

I smiled at this. We moved out and had dinner together. I looked at my sister and my daughter who were laughing while talking to each other.

Yes, I was pregnant when I left Sachin. I hid this news from everyone because I never got a chance to share this happiness with him. I am happy to be with my sister and my daughter who are my strength and my life.
