Chapter - 12 : Telling Her Truth
Ruhana finally talks to Anamika, who seeks forgiveness from her sister. Anamika looks at her sister, she knows it's hard for her, but she needs to tell her the truth. She holds Ruhana's hands.
"I know maine aapko bahut hurt kiya hai, Di. I am sorry! I lost my way. Aapne pucha toh bhi maine aapko nahi bataya!" Anamika says.
"Aisa hua kya tha, Ana? Jo tune mujhse jhooth bola! Tune toh mujhse Vaada kia tha na ki tu mujhse kabhi kuch nahi chhupayegi!! Meri shadi Vineet se hui hai, Ruhaani ki Maa bhi hun, par un do rishton se humare rishte par koi farak nahi aaya hai. Main pehle teri behen hoon, Vineet ki wife aur Ruhaani ki mumma baad mein. Fir kyun chupaya tune mujhse ye sab??" Ruhana asks.
"Doston ki wajah se. Aap Tina ke baare mein sahi kehte they. Par mujhe laga aapko wo achi nahi lagti, kyunki wo hamesha showoff karti hain. Aur aapko simple rehna pasand hai. Aur wo straightforward bhi hai, par tab wo meri sabse achi dost thi. College ke pehle din mili thi na! " Anamika says, her voice is heavy.
"Mujhe laga wo achi hai, kyunki wo sweetly baat karti hai. Mujhe nahi pata tha ki wo baahar se achi, aur dil se buri hai. Wo drugs supply karti thi college mein!" Anamika reveals and Ruhana is shocked.
"What? Aur tujhe kab pata chala?" Ruhana asks, she's shocked with the relevation.
"Prom night pe. Jab maine dekha ki wo kuch ladkiyon ko packets de rahi hain toh maine usse pucha tha." Anamika says and she trails down the memory lane.
*Flashback Begins*
It's the day of prom night. Anamika is getting ready. She's dressed in a green knee length dress. Her hair is tied in a bun, and she's applying makeup. Ruhana stands at the door of her room and adores her sister. She's grown up, truly.
"Ana, are you ready??" she asks.
"Oh yes! Batao main kaisi lag rahi hoon?" Anamika turns to her.
"Bahut sundar. Kahin meri nazar na lag jaye!" saying so, Ruhana picks up the kajal stick and puts a dot behind her ear.
"Tumhari nazar toh na lagegi, Ruuu! Lekin Haan! Aaj college mein zaroor kuch ho sakta hai!" Vineet says as he stands by his wife.
"what do you mean? Kya Hoga college mein ?" Anamika rolls her eyes at her sister's husband, as he usually teases her.
" Arey kayi ladkiyon ke dil toot jayenge!" Vineet says, giggling at his own statement.
"Chup karo, Vineet ! Kuch bhi bolte ho!" Ruhana slaps his arms.
"Isme galat kya bola maine! Tumhari behen hai toh sundar bhi hai! Aur fir aise short dresses pehnegi toh ladke toh isi ke peeche jayenge na! Unki girlfriends ke dil toot jayenge!" Vineet says.
" Arey toh aapko kya problem hai!take a chill pill, Jeej!! Aap ke pass toh meri Di hai--- inni sundar, sexy biwi hai aapki! Unke sath enjoy karo na aap! " Anamika winks at him.
" Ab tumko late na ho raha! Chalo jao tum! Meri biwi ko nazar na lagao tum! " Vineet makes a face and glares at Anamika.
"Choti behen ki nazar nai lagti! Haan aapki zaroor lag sakti hai ! Waise lag hi gayi hai! Isliye ab aap meri di ka dhyan rakhna." Anamika says winking at him and rushes out of the room, before Vineet could react to her words.
Ruhana laughs, Vineet glares at her but she hugs him and at the same time, she hears her daughter calling her and she moves into the living room. Anamika waves to her and leaves the house while Vineet follows her and instructs the driver to drop her, stay there until the party gets over and bring Anamika home. Though, the girl denies, but she knows that he is caring, and he is worried about her. She can't let him down. She agrees and leaves with the driver.
*****
She reaches hotel Hilton, the hotel where their college has organized the prom night. She finds Tina on the entrance and she hugs her.
"Why are you late, Ana?" Tina asks.
"traffic, you know! And Jeej! He didn't let me come alone. Toh isliye late ho gaya!" Anamika says as they enter the party hall.
" Your di and jiju still treat you like a kid, Ana! How do you tolerate it?" Tina asks, making a face.
"They care for me, Tina! And I love their pampering." Anamika replies, though she's a little hurt by Tina's statement.
" Oh! They control you, Ana. She's not your mom to stop you. Di toh tumhe kahin jaane na deti!" Tina says.
"It's because she loves me, Tina. She promised mom and dad to take care of me. Aur han , she's not my mom, but no less than that. Maa bankar hi sambhala hai unhone mujhe. She's the best and My Jeeju too! But why are we talking about my Di and Jeej? Let's talk about your family na! Tumhe toh khush hona chahiye, wo tumhe kisi baat ke liye nahi rokte." Anamika says firmly, looking at Tina.
" Yeah! They know I won't listen to them." Tina replies with a sly smile on her lips.
" But you should listen to them!! They'll feel nice." Anamika says, as she takes a glass of orange juice which is served to the guests.
Tina looks at Anamika and smiles lightly, and excuses herself. Anamika agrees and begins to talk to another girl who comes up to her.
It's been thirty minutes since Tina is missing. Anamika looks around but doesn't find her. She asks a friend who tells her that she saw Tina going into the washroom. Anamika goes into the washroom and she's shocked to see Tina. She's giving a packet to a girl.
"What is this Tina?" Anamika questions her.
"Nothing! Tum chalo, main aati hoon." Tina smiles.
It seems that she's scared as she fears Anamika's questions. Anamika looks at her intently but decides to let it go.
She walks out of the washroom, but on the way,she found some students holding a small packet sniffing or tasting it. She's bewildered, meanwhile, Tina comes up with a glass of cold drink again for her. Anamika denies but Tina forces her and Anamika drinks it.
A little while later, Anamika asks for more drinks. Actually, the girl mixed some drugs in her drink. And now Anamika wants more.
*Flashback ends*
"Us din wo drugs packet they, aur Tina ne mujhe juice mein mila ke pilaya!". Anamika says.
"Tabhi agle din tujhe sar dard tha. Itna sab hua tune mujhe kyun nahi bataya?" Ruhana asks.
"Main aapko pareshan karna nahi chahti thi. Main tina se door hona chahti thi, par usne aisa na hone diya!" Anamika says.
She looks at Ruhana and holds her hands, and adds something that again leaves her sister surprised.
To Be Continued.
What did Anamika say again?
