Sumedh's POV
I went to Mummy's room. It was 9pm. Bauji was jogging in the garden.

I rested my head on Mummy's knees.

"Beta, kya hua?" She asked sweetly. Tears started rolling from my eyes.

"Sumedh...roh kyu raha h Beta?" She asked worringly. I looked at her.

"Mummy, Chandana....Chandana boht dard me h" I said and told her everything.

"Mummy uska dard mujhse dekha nhi jaata...kucch kro na" I said.

"Sumedh...tune fir sharab pi?" She asked.

"Mummy Chandana..." I said ignoring her question.

"Beta...isme ham kya kr sakte h? Jo ho gaya so ho gaya, bhool jaa sab" She said.

"Woh nhi bhool rhi!! Ishaan ko nhi bhool paa rhi woh!" I said.

"Aaj...aaj pehli baar pta chal raha h k gao k jo parivaar h unpe kya beet rhi hogi. Kesa lagta hoga unhe jab...jab me..." I said.

We kept quiet for a couple of minutes.

"Mummy...me ab...ab sab theek kr dunga. Devaki se maafi manguga, usse ek acchi life dunga" I said.

"Sumedh, jao jaakar so jao. Raat bohot ho geyi h" She said.

I nodded and left.

I went to my room.

Devaki was sitting on the couch. I sat next to her.

"Devaki..." I said holding her hand.

She looked at me with disgust.

"Devaki...I...I'm sorry" I whispered. She cocked her eyebrow.

"I'm sorry...me...mene boht galat kiya tumhare saath. But, but I promise me sab theek kr dunga" I said.

"Tum theek to ho na Thakur?" She asked.

"Me bohot bura hu na? Boht galatia ki h mene...lekin ab, ab kucch galat nhi hoga. Me sab theek kr dunga. Tumhe woh sab dunga jo tum deserve krti ho. Tumhe ek acchi life dunga. Woh darja dunga to meri wife aur Vidharbha ki Thakurayan ko milna chahiye" I said.

"Tum sach bol rhe ho?" She asked softly.

I nodded. She smiled.

"Boht khushi hui jaankar k tumhe apni galati ka ehsaas ho gaya h. Dekho...ab...ab raat boht ho geyi h, tum so jao" She said. I nodded and went to sleep.

Devaki's POV
I woke up and got ready.

I was happy that Thakur was feeling guilty. Finally he was changing.

He woke up and got ready.

"Kya baat h aaj boht smile kr rhi ho" He said. "Woh...kal raat jo tumne kaha uski wajah se" I said.

"Mene!? Mene kya kaha?" He asked.

My smile vanished. "Tumhe...yaad nhi tumhe mujhse kya baat ki?" I asked. "Umm...nhi...kya hua kar raat ko?" He asked.

His phone rang. "Haan Dhani, ek kisaan ne kucch karza liya tha uski baat krni h tumse, Haveli aa jana" He said.

I was shocked. He was lying!

"Kya hua? Breakfast nhi krna?" He asked.

"Tumne kal jo bola woh jhooth tha?" I asked in disbelief.

"Kaha kya tha mene!?" He asked.

"Tumne kaha tha k tum badalna chahte ho...tum sab theek krdoghe..." I said.

He started laughing. "Pagal ho kya? Me badlunga? Itna hi jaanti ho kya mujhe?" He asked.

I will never trust this man! Never ever!

He left for the hall.

A tear rolled from my eye. I trusted him. Again I trusted him and again he was wearing a mask!

Why does this always happen to me!?

I left for the hall and had breakfast.

"Mummy...kal raat kucch kaha tha kya mene?" Thakur asked to Maa.

"Kaha tha, lekin tune pi rakhi thi, me janti thi k tu woh sab nashe ki halaat me keh raha h" She replied.

"Devaki seriously le geyi meri baat ko. Samjhao ise" He said chuckling.
