Episode 26

Aryamaan's POV

I was in my room getting ready for Danish's anniversary. I just wore causals. Drop the idea of wearing suit, I am always in those suits because of office and I just don't have any mood now to attend the party.

Yes, because of Neharika's words. I'm not blaming her, her every word pears my mind and heart understanding her pain for the first time. Her past was horrible and I made it more.

How can I make everything good? How can I change her in a good way? It's all because of me. What is wrong when she said where was I when she needed me, when doctor asked for me. I was there outside but refused to go inside. I just heard her painful shouts.

I just want to beat myself going back then, I took every decision wrong when it came to Neharika. Today was the first time she spoke and that also hurt me and that too because of my past deeds. I thought she forgot everything and I will also forget and then we will start fresh.

She didn't forget anything, she just masked everything. Forgetting about Neharika, I thought only I was in pain, there is only me who have bad life. How she must have survived there? They even beat her, she was fucking a kid that time. More than that how can a father do this kind of things with his own blood.

She was his own daughter, knowing that also they did all of those things with her? They married her off without even investigating about us, she had just crossed 18. I also shouted on her before marriage about doing something because I didn't love her. How she must have felt.

Her Dad's words which Rishikesh said are still ringing in my head. How can a father curse? All those years, it was already enough for him to do with her that he also cursed her when she was starting a new chapter of her life. I also reminded her same thing at first night and she just nodded her head.

Didn't she want to shout on me or hit my head. She just said those words and here I'm in my thinking zone. For a fresh start you will have to listen to her and so does she. We both need to hurt each other with words because telling each other's past will only bring hurt and pain to each other.

I took my phone and went downstairs but didn't find Neharika, where is she? She is always punctual because of me. I shouted her name and in return I just heard Rhea's voice "Just 10 minutes Dad." I sighed and sat on sofa thinking what is she doing in Rhea's room since afternoon.

I again shouted "Neharika" again the same thing happened. I swear if she doesn't come down within 10 minutes now, I will leave. "I WILL LEAVE IN 10 MINUTES FOR SURE NEHARIKA IF YOU DOESN'T COME" I shouted and checked my clock for the fifth time.

I heard someone running, what the fuck? I saw Maa coming from kitchen yelling on me "Why are you shouting? That's a party not your business meeting if you go there little late, those people won't kill you."

I shook saying "There is proper time to go somewhere Maa, that's why they give us time, right?" She glared at me saying "You're a fool and I'm not arguing with you." Wahh I'm the fool here because I have the value of time. I again heard the running voice and turned my neck towards stairs just to find Neharika running, holding an ear ring in her hand and putting that in her ear.

WOW the color of her saree was making her skin glow more, she was wearing dark purple color's saree. She never wears dark color, I always saw her in dull colors or say calm colors like white, baby blue, baby pink, ligh green. She always chooses those colors but looking at her in this dark purple saree, I can say dark colors suits her more.

"Mom bag, take this." Hearing Rhea she turned again running towards her and I gulped my saliva looking at her backlace blouse. I suddenly remembered her skin's softness which I felt that day when we went to Delhi. She is damn soft and her not so fair skin color is shining under that blouse color.
