Lending Hearts[SS](Completed √)

I was numb for few moments. I never try to understand him.I judged him by his introvert nature but this man ...he is giving my daughter everything a child need in growing age.

He came near me and picked up Arya from my lap.But all this while he didn't look at me.

"My baby..missed me...",he kissed Arya's nose tip.

Arya became very happy seeing him.He went to his room.

"Abb to ye khana khane se raha..dono khelenge adhi raat tak.."Maa said passing a smile to their retreating figure .

I settled down on my seat.That day our house relived again.

"To tune kya socha Sanyu.. hum to yehi chahte hai ki tu for hospital jana shuru kar de.."Maa asked
my decision.

"I'll join Maa..but after Vidushi's marriage.."I said.

Everyone smiled listening to my decision.

After dinner Vidushi decided to sleep in my room.We were passing by the corridor, when we heard Rd lullaby for Arya.

"Bhai is really attached to Arya..she is his lifeline.. You know..when Aryan..Bhai... everyone was shattered,so was he...he handled everyone.. He used to cry secretly..meanwhile he took care of Arya too..."said Vidushi looking at them through window.

"I owe him for this..."I replied with pure heart.

"Let's go to ur room..don't worry about her ...Bhai will take care of her.."Vidushi said and we went to our room.

Though I wanted to spend sometime with my baby but Randhir has first right on her.

"Acha listen Sanyukta which one is best....I bought this for u.."Vidushi started showing me some sarees.

I looked at them with painful eyes. Those glitery colours were prohibited for me now.

"Inn sabka abb mere liye koi MATLAB nahi..meri zindagi to pehle hi badrang ho chuki hai.."I said.

"Ohh..remember you're the same
girl who opposed everyone for Bua..then what happen now...its your life Sanyu ksi k jane se ruk nhi jati.."Vidushi scolded me.

"Vidushi..it is easy to tell others to change themselves but when it comes to u then u realise it is not easy.."I replied.

"You're wearing this saree on my wedding day and I don't want to hear any bakwas.."she said sternly and give me a baby pink saree with golden work on border.

I didn't say anything because I knew that how stubborn she is?

We talked till mid night.when sleep took over our senses..I didn't
realise.

But my sleep was broken by a light knock on the door.I slowly got down the bed so that Vidushi's sleep won't disturb.

I silently opened the door.Randhir was standing with Arya.

"She is hungry isliye chup nahi ho rahi thi..",he gave her to me.

"Good Night..."I wished him.

He looked at me shockingly but next moment smiled."Good Night.."he said and went away.

I closed the door and laid down with Arya.She slept after having milk.But my mind was revolving around him.How he smiled genuinely when I said good night to him.

"He is the best person and best father ad well...shayad ye baat mai pehle samajh gayi hoti.."I regret on my abrupt decision.

But I loved Aryan.. this was also a fact.

Next day was a busy one.Ayushi Di also arrived but her dislike increased for me.

I was helping Vidushi in a pretty marriage ritual..when I heard Ayushi di saying-

"Maa.please isse  Vidushi se durr rehne ko bolo...ek vidhwa ka aise subh rasmo m rehna is not good."

Thousand arrows prickles in my heart.My identity changed with a fact that I was a widow..I became inauspicious for the world!

I wiped my tears and about to leave from there when Randhir slapped Di tightly.

Everyone gasped on his act.Di looked at him with teary eyes and then glares me.

"Dare you say anything about Sanyukta... She is widow iska matlab duniya bhar ki buraiya usme aa gyi..u r also a woman  Ayushi..how can u utter such words for another woman..",he scolded her very badly.

"Maa..see he is advocating this girl..who only gives pain to this family..,"Di said to Maa expecting  to take her side.

"Randhir ne bilkul sahi kiya..mai bhi wahi karti.."Maa replied coldly.

Di left from there in rage.I was feeling like a criminal but at the same time my heart swelled with respect for him.

"And one more thing.. Noboday ever dare to point a finger on Bua or Sanyukta... warna mujhse bura koi nahi hoga..."he glared everyone and took Arya with him,who started crying due to chaos.

To be continued.....

Ignore mistakes and enjoy reading.
