Siddharth's PoV
"It's ok. We are family" She said
I don't know why but it felt so right. Hearing it from her. I have always imagined someone saying this to me....and how stupid I was to think maybe Navya will one day.
Who am I even comparing. Avni and Navya have no comparison.
I have realised how wrong I was to judge Avni. I have said so many bad things to her and I really want to apologise for it.
I know she knows I am feeling guilty but didn't say anything because she knows and understands my situation. How can one be so selfless.
After everything I have done to her....she shouldn't have left any chance to taunt me or embarrass me but she didn't do any of it.
Now that I think of it...it was because of Navya that I didn't talk with Avni or said those things to her because she hated it and I wanted to stay loyal.
Now that she showed her true colours....I think me and Avni can atleast be friends.
Thinking about all this I don't know when sleep consumed me.
"Siddharth wake up" I heard a voice
"Come on wake up... it's been 4 hours" she said again.
I slowly opened my eyes and saw Avni standing to close to me.
More like she was bended downwards to wake me up.
Seeing me up she got back to her original position.
"Uhh...I...I didn't know when I slept...I am so...." I said
"It alright, you needed rest. Now freshen up... there's the washroom and come.
Uncle is awake" She said.
"Sure" I said and went towards the washroom.
She was looking hella tired but still she didn't say a word about it. She also needs to rest.
I'll talk to her after we meet dad.
"Let's go" I said
We went towards dad's room.
"Hey dad" I said
"Sid...you are here" he said.
"Look at you, you are looking so old and ill....I didn't leave you for that many days" I said.
"I know, but now we have Avni.... she'll take care of me" he said laughing
"Of course I will dad" she said
"Um...ok so I wanted to talk to you regarding something and it's really important" dad said
"But...."
"Not buts Siddharth it is really important" dad said.
"Avni you asked me why my blood pressure is so high or what tension do I have right" dad asked
"Yes papa , because until and unless your blood pressure is not normal...we can't operate you. And this much b.p is not good for your condition papa" she said
"Ok, so the problem is that I was feeling really really guilty for what I have done to you both. I don't know why I did what I did. Maybe I wanted to see you too together and happy.
But I destroyed your happiness and forced you to marry.
I know we said that this marriage is for one year....but actually it's for three" he said.
"Whatttttt" both of us literally shouted
"Yess...I am sorry...I am sorry for doing this to you...it's completely my fault...I..." He said
