Chapter 3

Listening to Radhika's demand for his second marriage. Arth shifted his attention more towards Adhyay. He doesn't wish to remarry.

On the other hand, Adhyay was focused on Saransh's assignments. Regularly, he asks her to do one of his assignments.

Arth was trying to spend time with her, sitting with her and asking her to dinner at the hotel. Whereas, she was focused on assignments. It seems like she shut all the doors to reach her. He was scared of Saransh. She wanted to share with her father, but Saransh's fear of power when she remembered her classmates' words, "His father is the school's trustee, that's why no one can complain against him, not even teachers."

Her behaviour is scaring him. He wants to speak with her and try to open her.

He felt maybe his mother was correct. Adhyay needs his mother's love.

After some days. Arth decided to share with Adhyay about the marriage discussion he had with his mother.

At dinner time.

Arth (nervous): Adhu baby, I need to talk to you about something.

Adhyay: Kya hua papa? (What happened?)

Arth: Princess, for a few days, I found your behaviour was different. Beta, at all times you are locking yourself in a room. Busy with studies. Do you have any study pressure?

Adhyay shook her head looking down.

Arth: Princess, for me, marks don't matter. I know my baby's study very well. You don't worry about studies, baby. You are intelligent. For me, your understanding of the concepts is enough.

Adhyay (nervous): No, Papa! I don't have any pressure. It's just I'd do a bit more study. Nothing else. Before mumma used to teach me. Now, I do it on my own and the 8th class syllabus is a bit difficult.

Arth: Is it because I spend most of my day at the office and you feel alone at home? That's what you are spending time on. Papa is sorry. I took time to understand.

Adhyay: No, no, Papa. The syllabus is a bit difficult. It's not your fault.

Arth (feeding her): Okay!

Adhyay (eating): Hmm....

He couldn't speak with her, as he himself doesn't wish for it.

Next morning,

With Geeta,

Geeta and Saransh were having breakfast.

Geeta: Saransh, today, you have to attend all your lectures. It's your 10th. For your mumma. Please attend the lectures.

Just then maid walked in with Saransh's father tailing behind her.

Saransh's father- Aadhan smiled widely, looking at Saransh.

Aadhan: I missed you, my son. I spoke with your teachers. You don't have to attend any of your classes. Just enjoy your school life. This is your last year. You will miss this in future. No one asks you to attend the lectures. See, your wish is completed.

Saransh, who had soft expressions on his face, was speaking with his mother. His expressions turned hardened.

Saransh: Leave.

Aadhan (angrily): This isn't the way to speak with your father, get this in your brain. Touch my feet and get blessings.

Saransh (glaring at him): I don't want YOUR blessings. Get out of this place.

Geeta: He said Leave. So, just leave.

Aadhan: Geeta, you think, that taking my child to your side, you will get me back?

Saransh: Who the hell wants you back in their life?

Aadhan lost his cool and was about to hit Geeta. Saransh jerked his hand.

Saransh: Just stay away from me and my mother or I will complain about harassing us.

Aadhan: Do you have any idea what rubbish, you are talking?

Saransh: Having your genes in me. Made me speak Rubbish. I can't help with it. A rubbish person can only pass on Rubbish Genes.

Aadhan (turning to Geeta): This- this is how he is behaving. I am going to get his custody at any cost. Just wait and watch.

With this, he left in anger.

Geeta quickly calmed herself. She knew, she couldn't break down in front of Saransh. All this is too much for a 16-year-old boy to take in. This atmosphere is affecting his mental state.

Geeta (hugging Saransh): Don't worry. Mumma, won't let you go with him. I will do something. Just trust your mumma.

Saransh (reciprocating the hug): I trust you. I love you and Mumma, I won't go with him. I will be with you.

Geeta nodded, pecking his forehead.

Geeta: Your school bus will be here, any moment. Go now and yes, please attend your lectures.

Without any other word, Saransh left.

Once, he left. Geeta broke down. She is scared to lose Saransh. Already, she is going through a lot. She decided to marry Arth. She shared this with his mother too. But she is scared to trust again in someone. What if he will be like Aadhan- Her ex-husband?

Meanwhile with Arth.

His mother came to visit them.

She asked him to share with Adhyay about marriage. Arth finally decided to do so. He wanted his daughter to be happy anyway.

His mother was worried about Arth and Adhyay. Now, she was worried about Geeta too. When she spoke with Geeta last time. She sensed her fear, but Geeta is choosing to marry again. How difficult it must be for her.

For Breakfast,

Arth, Adhyay and Radhika sat.

Radhika gestures to him to start the topic. Arth nodded, sighing.

Arth: Umm... Adhu...

Adhyay nodded, looking at him.

Arth: You know my colleague Geeta?

Adhyay: Ji papa.

Arth (nervous): Dadi wants me to marry her. Dadi is thinking you need a mother, and I need a friend, plus Geeta also needs a friend, and her son also needs a father's love Dadi was thinking we both should marry.

As he completed, Adhyay started coughing. She has tears in her eyes. Arth quickly grabbed the glass of water and made her drink water while patting her back. Once she calmed. He made her sit on his lap and hug her, patting her back.

Arth: Princess don't cry. Baby, if you don't want me, I will not marry. You don't need to cry. I just want you to be happy.

Adhyay (breaking hug): Papa, why did Mumma have to leave us?

Arth sighed. He can sense her situation.

Arth: God took her. We tried to fight but nothing is more than God's decision.

Adhyay nodded, again hugged him and didn't speak a word. He patted her back, while controlling his tears.

Adhyay broke the hug. Arth wiped her tears and kissed her forehead. He continued feeding her and eating too, talking with her about her random topics..

After completing her breakfast, she took her bag. Bidding them bye. She left for School.

Arth: Maa gave her some time and left her to decide. And whatever she chooses. That will be my decision.

Radhika nodded.
