Hi everyone! I haven’t written or posted a fan fic in a looooong time. But this track has given me some (to good to be true) ideas.
If you guys enjoy this, I’ll expand this story. Otherwise, we can leave it at a one shot.
Enjoy!
Sach Ka Saamna
“Abhira maa banne wali hai!”
Ruhi had the perfect way to push Abhira away forever. She had overheard Abhira talking to her doctor about an abortion procedure. Everyone was together for Charu’s sangeet and this was the perfect moment.
Ruhi walked up to Abhira and gave her a hug. “Congratulations Abhira!”
Everyone stood in shock, including Armaan and Abhira. Madhav broke the silence by hugging the couple. The Chorus Gang followed soon after. Manisha and Manu stood there looking like they wanted to wish the couple but were holding themselves back.
Vidya slowly walked forward with a small smile and tears in her eyes. “Abhira beta mujhe maaf kar…”
Armaan quickly stepped between Abhira and Vidya. “Hum yeh pregnancy kal terminate karne jaa rahe hai.”
Vidya stopped and everyone else gasped.
“Kyun beta?!” Dadisa spoke up for the first time since the revelation.
“Oh Abhira! Tum isiliye Doctor se phone pe baat kar rahi thi?” Ruhi asked innocently.
Fufasa jumped in, “Abhira tum vakeel se khooni kab se ban gayi? Ab kaha gaye tumhare usool?”
Vidya started shaking in rage. “Abhira! Pehle tumne mere bete ko mujhse alag kiya, ab mere grandchild ko bhi kar rahi ho? Mujhe pata tha ke tum mere Armaan ka har sapna tod doge. Mujhe pata tha ke tumse shaadi kar ke mera beta barbaad ho jaayega. Yeh termination nahi ho sakta. Bas.”
Abhira saw an opportunity and said, “Theek hai Maa. Jo bhi aap kaho.”
Armaan roared, “BAS! Yeh termination ho ke rahega. Yeh Abhira ka faisla nahin hai, yeh mera faisla hai.”
Manisha unsurely said, “Armaan, tum kab tak Abhira ki galtiyaon par parda karoge. Hum sab ko pata hai ke tumhe bachcha chahiye.”
“Abhira, tum yeh Armaan ke saath kaise kar sakte ho?” chimed in Ruhi.
“CHUP. SAB CHUP.” Dadisa bellowed and slowly stood up from her wheelchair. She walked over to Armaan and Abhira and said, “Pregnancy mein complications hai. Hai na?”
“Haan Dadisa. Abhira ki jaan bhi jaa sakti hai. Main apne saath aur ek bachche ke saath, jo iss duniya mein ab tak aaya hi nahin hai, yeh nahin kar sakta,” replied Armaan.
“Armaan beta. Main hoon na. Chahe kuch bhi ho jaaye, tumhare bachche ko ek maa ka pyaar zaroor milega. Tumhari khushi iss bachche mein hai!” said Vidya.
Armaan, without even looking at her, responded, “Excuse me? Aap ho koun, Mrs Poddar?”
Vidya was stunned. It looked like someone had slapped her across the face. “Armaan… main tumhari maa…”
“Meri maa mere bachpan main guzar gayi thi. Meri koi maa nahin hai. Haan ek insaan thi jis mein maine maa dekha tha, lekin unhone meri khushi par ek shraap diya tha aur mujhse rishta tod diya that. Aur ab jab meri zindagi, meri biwi khatre mein hai, unko koi farq nahin pad raha. Sirf apne bare mein soch rahe hain.” Armaan sounded emotionless. The bond he felt to Vidya had finally broken. “Abhira kal yeh procedure kar rahi hai aur ab mera bilkul mann nahin hai ke main yahan rahoon, outhouse mein bhi.”
Abhira who had been standing quietly said, “Please Armaan, mujhe mera parivaar chahiye. Maa ko yeh bachcha chahiye. Hum sab khushi khushi reh sakte hai.” She ran to Dadisa and fell to her feet, “Please Dadisa, Armaan ko samjhaon ke yeh bachcha aashirwaad hai. Mera baby ek reason ke liye aaya hai mere paas.”
Dadisa stared at her and bent over to pick her up. “Ladki, shayad baby ka reason tha Armaan ko ehsaas dilwana ke iss parivaar ne tum dono ke saath kitna bura kiya hai. Maine har waqt tumse kaha ke tum sirf apne bare main sochti ho, lekin aaj tumne hum sab ke bare mein socha. Vidya ne socha ke tum maa nahin ban sakti aur tumse itna bura bartav kiya aur ab jab tum maa ban gayi ho, usne tumhari zindagi ke baare mein ek baar bhi nahin socha. Manisha aur Manu ne tumse apne insecurities ka badla liya jab asliyat mein, main ek acchi maa nahin ban payi unke liye. Iss bachche ka farz pura ho chuka hai, aur ab tumhe apni zindagi se nahin khelna chahiye.”
“Dadisa, lekin mera parivaar! Hum sabko saath rehkar khush hona hai… mere baby ke saath!” Abhira was sobbing.
“Armaan tumhare liye kaafi nahin hai? Uske liye tum kaafi ho. Maine pichle kuch dinon mein kuch seekha hai. Parivaar ka bada hone se koi farq nahin padta. Parivaar mein kita pyaar aur sammaan hai, woh mayne rakhta hai. Aur tum aur Armaan mein woh bahut hai.” Dadisa paused. “…Abhira beta. Kya tum aur tumhari Maa ek dusre ke liye kaafi the? Toh phir ab yeh kya soch rahi ho tum?”
Abhira was stunned into silence. Dadisa called her by name? Used her mom as a good example?
Turning to Armaan, Dadisa said, “Mujhe pata tha yeh din aane wala tha. Maine tumhare liye ek ghar khareeda hai, office ke paas. Aur maine tumhe managing director banaya hai. Yeh tumhare haq hai, kyun ki tum mere khoon ho. Mere pote ho.”
Armaan who was holding Abhira suddenly realized what Dadisa had said and looked at her in disbelief. For the first time in a week, Armaan and Abhira were able to smile a little at Dadisa. They both touched her and Madhav’s feet, watched Madhav hug his mother for the first time in decades, and then went to the outhouse to pack.
“Abhira tumne counseling ke baare mein kaha tha kuch hafte pehle. Mujhe lagta hai hum dono ko jaana chahiye. Hum pehle counseling jaayenge, phir hum termination karenge. Deal? Armaan proposed this idea to Abhira as they were getting in the car.
“Deal.” Abhira sighed and leaned against his shoulder as they drove away from Poddar Mansion.
