Shiva's POV:

 

I stared at my girl. When had she grown up?

When she uttered those words, my heart actually missed a beat! She was going to sacrifice for this family and still go back to her husband? How could she? Did she realize what she meant she was saying??

Everyone stared at her, too stunned to really react and too shocked to actually understand the implication? Or perhaps too stunned at the implication of her promise?

"Rudy, Baby?? What are you saying??/" Her mom whispered and Caro whimpered as she hugged her mother tight.

 It was a poignant moment, all three generations enclosed in a hug. They knew and understood what it meant, what this one person’s decision would result in.

"RUDRA!" Dad yelled and she turned her head at him. Looking straight into his eyes! This was something none of us had ever dared to do. EVER! You never looked straight into the eyes of your elders. Always down, as a sign of respect!!

MY GOD!! What had happened to this girl?

"Grandpa, I'm sorry if I have or my family has hurt you. Please do forgive us. Grandma always taught us that before marriage, a girl's family honor is of utmost importance and post marriage, her husband's honor takes precedence, but then, she has to worry about the honor of two families. I learnt my lesson well Grandpa. I will take care of my father's and your honor but, eventually, I will honor my husband." She spoke in a voice devoid of emotion and fear.

Caro whispered something in her ear and she merely nodded. 

"Rudra? He is not a good man! You have been kicked out by him once, what makes you think he won't do so again?" Dad asked in a deadly calm voice. He was forcing himself to talk.

"Have you been observing my husband? Have you seen him bend backwards for your family and me?? I have and I don't think he deserves any more pain and humiliation. He came here to return what he wrongfully took. You didn't accept it. He came here to request you to let him be with his family and you thrashed him within an inch of his life and yet, in case you didn't notice, he didn't retaliate till I was hurt." She ranted, eyes blazing with fire and love, she looked like a queen out to protect her king.

I know I shouldn't be saying this, but in that moment, I was really proud of our little girl. I wanted her to win!

"Daddy," Caro whispered and all heads turned to her, 'I love you loads. Cookie does too! But we have decided to stay with ma and support her till she does her duty! As soon as she is free, we will come to you. Promise" she whispered and one could actually see the heartbreaks.

Shiela's POV:

 

I stood there, stunned and shocked at Rudra's words. What was this girl doing and for whom?? I didn't know whether to be proud of her or ashamed at her behavior. Her decision changed the course of everyone's life. 

She was a Rathore through and through and once she made her decision, she refused to budge. Everyone tried to coax her, blackmail her, force, beg, but nothing really worked. She refused to listen. 

I had never seen father this mad as he was when she spoke back to him.

"RUDRA!!! Leave this house now! You are not to return ever!! Get lost!" He yelled, eyes burning in rage and his every word a ball of fire.

"I could Grandpa, but it’s no use really! I was married to him for your benefit and I was the one who has suffered the brunt of all your egos and rages and now, now when I want to choose my life, make my decisions, you really cannot stop me. You people owe me this much! You owe me my dreams, the lives of my children and my own life. I only need to pay you back all of my husband's debts; you on the other hand have to answer for messing up my life, mine and that of my kids'. So, now, I demand that I be allowed to live the way I choose. I demand I be allowed to handle and pay back your debts, I demand you people behave with my husband when he comes to visit his kids, I demand you don't mess up my life any further than you already have. I demand you pay back your debts to me!" Rudy whispered.

Every word spelled a quiet and clear rebellion. It showed the results of forcing a woman. She still wasn't going to live her life but she was atleast trying to make the best of her situation!

While all stood there, yelling, complaining, I stood there quietly, simply observing her. 

She RUDRAA personified. The Goddess in her healing form! She personified the Great SHAKTI! POWER as she stood calm and collected, radiating a quite strength that comes only from within, that comes when you have been fighting for so long and fighting alone that you begin to draw from your inner reserves because loosing isn't an option. 

She was flanked by her children and none of them showed stress. It was as if they were preparing themselves for this day. They had thought it through. Jake though, well he looked pained and hurt, ashamed and helpless. It was as if he had nothing left. Only hope, just a glimmer of it..........

We all knew life was going to change, but perhaps these 3 knew it the most. They understood the implications of life......................

Life was to change............... 

For the lioness had roared and when she roared, even the lion listened..................

It was her decision; no one now had the power to speak up to her. She had decided to live like this, she would........

I know its short and repitative....

but I promise to make it better in the next chapter...

Im jus over coming a looong hangover.......

please forgive me....

and ya... its NOT THJE END!!!

Swear!!

njoy love you amazing people
