you and me

Time to move on

Thapki : come oon tell na hhow's kabir ?

Bihaan wasn't expecting this he was surely wasn't expecting this question she asked such a complicated thing out of blue . He could feel himself growing jittery but still tried to be normal though his brain was numb.

Bihaan : what do you mean ? i...i..i me..an kab..kabir (gulping down disquietude ) he's dead.

vasu remained torpid following thapki's mindnumbing question ,
for a while then after dispelling her agita she broke the silence hanging in the air ,
Her stunned face was voucher of what she's going through . Thapki's question clobbered her.  She could sense her heart rate increasing unevenly , the current situation almost thwacked her small head. She was stupefied.

vasu : thap...ki & bi..haan wha..what do you b..oth mea..n ? kabir..my so..n my kab..ir..i..is he al..al..alive ?

She asked with hope glimmering in her teary eyes breaking bihaan apart ,

Bihaan panicked realising that this is all going wrong completely wrong vasu's condition is still sensitive ,

Bihaan : ma noth...nothing she's just..
Thapki stepped in his shoes to reduce his worries & fret enclasping  him ,

Thapki : joking aaround (completing bihaan's statement )

And before completion of her words she was bestowed by a tight slap and her cheeks turned crimson red , they were combusted by the heat proudced due to the slap , it's intensity was much more than what vasu evaluated. Thapki could feel stinging pain not actually on her cheeks but in her  fragile heart.
same pain but of much more ardency.

Bihaan : maaa !!

vasu stopped him by putting forward her palm.

vasu : thapki , i considered you as my daughter and my son he's no more and he's not a hot topic to joke about , but uk it's not your mistake , (glaring bihaan ) it's the company you are in right now . your husband loathed my son and that's why he liquidated my son , and don't you worry i wont punish him because i am still a mother unfortunately . your husband annihilated my family and i wont forgive him ever . I just hate him his  malicious presence his exsistence .
vasu was red in tooth and claw. She was steamed up and her ire started dispersing on her face ,
