Tum Se Hi

Chapter 42. Karma got your back

Author's POV

"Ho gaya honeymoon?" Radha asked upon looking the three of them on the door

"Parso hi toh gaye the?" She continued upon hearing no response from any of them

"Aree kuch bolo bhi?" Radha was now getting anxious looking at the three of them. Something was off about them. Their eyes looked as if they had sleepless nights, she understands about Rudraksh and Samaira, but Devyansh, why is he looking so tired and worn out?

"Accha..jao baba aur bade papa ko batado ki tum teeno aa gaye ho" the three of them looked at her direction making her think if she said anything wrong

Rudraksh stromed in that direction. His face contorted with rage, his brows furrowed deeply and his eyes narrowed to menacing slits.

Samaira took a few steps but her mind told her to to do something else, so she went upstairs

When his eyes fell on the two figures sitting, chatting, laughing having the best time of their lives

But no more

Rudraksh was seeing red at this point. His jaw is clenched so tightly that the muscles along his jawline twitch spasmodically. Veins bulge prominently on his forehead and neck, pulsating with every accelerated heartbeat. His nostrils flare with each heavy, ragged breath, and his lips are pulled back in a snarl, revealing gritted teeth.

"Kyu?" He voice dangerously low as he stood before his so called Baba and Bade Papa and asked them

Upon hearing no response, he grabbed Aarav by his collar and threw him making him fall on the floor

"Kya battameezi hai ye?" Veer Arora stood up and glared at his son who was looking no less than a devil right now

His posture is imposing; shoulders hunched and tense, fists clenched at his sides, ready to strike.

The air around him seems charged with his fury, making him appear even more formidable and threatening.

"Tune meri maa ka balatkar hote kaise dekh liya, Veer Arora?"

The atmosphere went thick with anticipation, only sounds could be heard was the crackling of the fire and the flared breathes

Veer Arora looked at his son with disbelief.

How in the world did he find out?

"Rudraksh..bete humari baat suno" he made an unsuccessful attempt to calm his son but it all vent in vain when he was pushed down the floor and was about to punch him

"Nahi Rudraksh" the voice stopped him and turned around to see his Radha maa

"Apne baap pe haath uthaoge toh socho Meera didi ko accha lagega?" Her words made Rudraksh think about his mother's words

'Vo jo bhi hai...jaise bhi hai...baba hai tumhare...unke baaremai aisa nahi bolte'

Veer Arora sighed a breath of relief as he brushed off his son's hand and sat straight on his feet

On the other hand, Aarav Rajput was witnessing all this and tried his best to get out of the scene, he was about to step back but a hand on his shoulder made him freeze on his spot

"Kahi Jaa rahe hai, bade papa?" Devyansh asked him, patting away the sweat droplets off of his forehead with her handkerchief

"Hum sab sach batate hai" Aarav Rajput said

He no longer can hide the truth

Aarav started talking while everyone around him listened

"When Suman told me that she was pregnant with my child, I felt immense amount of happiness. Aur kyu nahi, akhir Mahal mai itne dino baad kisi bacche ki awaaz sunayi dene vaali thi. I was a man on cloud nine. Because your Suman Chachi never liked me, it was a pure political marraige. I was the only one who used to talk and make silly jokes. I was a king but she treated me like a mere servant under her feet. When I heard the news of her being pregnant, I felt that finally now she would accept me. During her labour month, I tried my best to stay by her side. But some business came along and I had to leave to take care of it. It was then. I heard she didn't give birth to the baby, that the baby died during the labour. I felt devastated. It was like I had lost so much within a day. Suman got even more distant. She was not talking with anyone, always in her room. She even shifted herself to another room where she allowed no one. Absolutely no one. She threatened me that she'll leave me which would be really harmful to my thorne as she was the rightful heiress and I got a royal tag after marrying her.
