Second Chance

Chapter 8(part 2) - Facing the KARMA

Armaan quietly entered empty hall of poddar mansion. Only vidya was sitting on a corner couch sewing some baby clothes obviously for ruhi-rohit's unborn baby. Armaan's heart ached seeing that thinking that how much it would have hurt abhira to see this kind of antics by vidya which she did purposefully to give her a painful reminder daily. He cursed himself for ignoring these things and not being there for abhira to share her pain.

Vidya sensed someone looking at her and looked up only to notice armaan staring blankly at her. Somewhere her heart ached to see armaan and abhira's current condition but her ego took over that sensitivity. She tried say something sweet but armaan royally ignored her and walked towards staircase adding fuel to her underlaying anger.

Armaan reminded himself of vidya's talk that day. He can't let himself get fooled anymore. He has to take the bitter pill that noone in this family but only abhira can love him the way he wants and deserves to be loved. He just wanted to freshen up and go back to the hospital as he wanted to be there when abhira will wake up from coma. He didn't give up. He still had hope and he will hold onto it till the end.

Screeching sound of a car tyre suddenly broke the akward silence which was lingering everywhere. After few minutes, rohit came in followed by ruhi. Rohit's face has turned red because of anger and ruhi was visibly terrified of something. Vidya immediately stood up and went to rohit sensing the tension between the couple.

"What happened rohit? Why are you looking so angry? Where did you guys went this late? " , vidya asked with concern. "Ask that from your laadly bahu...", saying this while screeching teeth, rohit went aside to calm himself down as his anger was getting better of him.

"What happened ruhi? Is everything alright? Why are you up this much late? Its not good for yours and baby's health. You should be careful beta.", vidya asked as rohit was not giving answers to her questions.

"Woh MAA, actually I...Woh...", ruhi was stammering not knowing what to say.
Just then rohit broke a vase with a big noise which was enough to wake whole family up. Vidya went to ruhi and stood infront her covering her. "What are doing rohit? Have you lost it? Did you forget that ruhi is pregnant with your baby? Why are you behaving like this?", vidya angrily shouted at rohit.

Rohit laughed mockingly and said, "Exactly , that's my biggest regret that my child is growing inside this woman as she doesn't deserve it at all", rohit shouted like a madman while everyone came to the hall to see what is happening , except armaan.

"What are you talking about rohit? Clearly say whatever it is." , kaveri who just came there demanded as she could clearly see that something big must have happened. All the other members were also standing there with curiosity with shocked faces.

"This woman has cheated me all this while dadi sa. She was playing with my feelings and all of us too. She once broke my trust but I forgave her and gave a second but this shamless woman....she was still palying her game. She never came back for me. She came back only for armaan bhaiya even after knowing clearly that armaan bhaiya and abhira bhabhi are madly in love with eachother. You won't be able to believe the disgusting act she had done on their wedding day. And I am sure that was not the first also wasn't the last too." , rohit was saying furiously as pain of ruhi's betrayal was burning him inside.

"What did she do rohit?", madhav finally asked rohit as rohit's anger wasn't giving them a exact clear picture of what has happened. Then rohit gave that phone to krish and asked him to connect it to the the tv. After switching on it, rohit started to speak, " Do you guys remember how armaan bhaiya went missing on his wedding day and later bhabhi found him then they both came back together. They couldn't tell us the reason because it was such a degrace of a thing to even talk about. Specially there. Now you can see yourself that what was the exact reason". Saying this rohit played that video on big screen while ruhi lost the last thread of hope to handle things as she felt everything is slipping out of her hands.
