Thanks...for being with me (Completed)

Chapter 38

Shiv : Kaun. Whom did you met?

Anni : Who will be there, I guess that bastard rapist...

Nan : No no not him. Woh koi aur tha.

Har : Matlab?

Nan : Mastermind hi samjhlo jisne yeh plan banaya tha. Rapist toh Rohan tha.

Har : (in a disgraceful voice) Aur tumne unka is ghinone kaam mein saath diya.

Nan : (in a hurtful tone) Tumne kabhi mujhe samjha hi nahi. Jane do, mujhe sirf itna bataya gaya tha ki shree ko kidnap karna hai. Usse kuch din ke liye kyad karke rakhna hai aur tumhe darana hai. Shreeja ko koi nuksaan nahi pahunchaya jayega. Mujhe kya pata tha ki woh log meri nahi balki khudki madat kar rahe the. Unhone mujhe ek mohra bana diya tha. I really didn't knew about any of their intentions.

Anni : Once I get that r
Rohan na, see I'll never spare him. I swear he'll beg for his death. Nandu kaun tha woh mastermind?

Nan : Nahi pata. Usne apne chehere par mask lagaya tha. Bas itna pata chala ki woh Murthy girls se bahut zyada nafrat karta hai. Yeh baat bhi mujhe shree ko kidnap karna ke baad pata chala. Rape ka idea uska nahi balki Rohan ka tha. Rohan shree se pyaar karta tha aur woh chahta tha ki shree sirf ussiki ho. Maine usse rokne ki bahut koshish ki par woh nahi ruka. Usne mujhe behosh kar diya. Harshad bhi wahi tha. Usne Harshad ko bhi buri tarah se ghayal kar diya. Main jab hosh mein aayi tab sirf Rohan hi tha. Maine usse thapad mara aur kaha ki yeh sab main Annika ko bata dungi. But he threatened me telling that even if I go near to you he will kill me and my baby.

Anni : Isliye tumne woh letter likha.

Nandini hummed in response.

Har : Yeh problem toh uljhate hi jaa raha hai. Paheli bann gaya hai. Abhi humme rohan ko dhundna hoga. Us kaminey ko toh main zinda gaadh dalunga.

Nan : Sorry. Everything happened because of my stupid brain which was screaming for revenge. I'm sorry.

Annika engulfed her in a soothing hug.

Anni : Tumne kuch bhi jan-boojh kar toh nahi kiya naa. Ro mat. Shiv Anna ko call karke yaha bulao. Instead sab youngsters ko bulao.

Shiv : OK. Wait I'll call.

Shivaay excused himself. Here Harshad was now desperately waiting to meet his daughter, Shanaya. Suddenly he heard a voice. It was shanaya's voice. His two and a half year old daughter. He didn't got a clear glimpse of her. She was standing at door of the room.

Shan : (to nandani) Amma.

Nan : Mera shona utha gaya.

She went to her and picked her baby in her arms. Nandini kissed Shanaya's cheek and Shanaya giggled. She turned towards Annika.

Nan : Main abhi aayi. Yeh uth gayi main isse nhila kar lati hun.

Annika nodded her head and went towards the gallery where Shivaay went. Harshad was feeling lonely so he got up and went to the room where nandini went. He hesitantly knocked on the door.

Har : Main andar aa sakta hun.

He didn't got any response. Frowning he stepped back but then stop hearing his daughter's giggles coming for the bathroom. He went the room and walked over the bathroom. He smiled watching the scene where his daughter was sitting in the small bathtub with bubbles all around. Nandini didn't saw him as he was at her back. She had the baby shampoo bottle in her hand. Shanaya was hitting the water in the bathtub causing the water to splash out on Nandini.

Nan : Shona, aap na din-b-din badmash hote jaa rahe ho. Apne Amma ko puri tarah se bheega diya.

Shanaya first giggled but then pouted see her mother being angry. Nandini anger turned into smile when she saw the daughter pouting.

Nan : Apko na acting mein Oscar milna chahiye. (Chuckling) Meri baatein toh aapko samajh nahi aati lekin reactions barabar hote hai.

Shanaya pointed towards the door and smiled. Nandini turned back to see Harshad leaning at the door watching his daughter and the mother of his daughter admiringly. Nandini cleared her throat

Nan : Kuch chahiye tha.

Har : Nahi bass woh baithe baithe bore horaha tha aur tabhi shanaya ke hasne ki aawaaz sunni toh yaha aa gaya. Sorry bina permission aagaya par maine knock kiya tha.

Nan : Its OK.

She picked Shanaya from the bathtub and wrapped a fluffy towel around her. She made Shanaya wear a soft pink fork with matching shoes and combed her hair.

Har : Kya main isse utha sakta hun.

Nan : Haan, par dekhke. Yeh anjaano ke paas zyada derr nahi reh pati. Rone lagti hai.

Har : OK. Tum change kar lo main isse hall mein lekar jata hun.

Nandini went to change. Here Shivika also came back. Three of them along with the cutie pie sat on the sofa.

Har : (to Shanaya) Hi Shona. Kaise ho aap.

She just again giggled at his question.

Anni : Main isse uthau?

Harshad nodded. Annika picked Shanaya and kept her in her lap. But Shanaya began to cry.

Anni : Arre aap ro kyun rahe ho. Main toh apki Massi hun.

Harshad instantly picked Shanaya and kept her on the sofa. Then he kneeled down and started playing with his daughter.

Anni : Huh! Dadda's girl.

Shivaay giggled. Nandini came out.

Nan : (worriedly) Kya hua why was she crying?

Anni : She is literally a dadda's girl you know. Mera paas aate hi ro padi. Aur apne appa ke pass jate hi chup.

Nan : Woh jaldi kisike paas nahi jati.

Anni : Exceptions. You and him.

Here the door bell rang. Nandini walked over the door saying 'aur koi bhi tum logon ka picha karte aane wala hai kya' and opened it. She was shocked.

Nan : Om sir?

So, is it still a mystery? I don't think so because everyone wanted to know the name of the rapist and here it is 'ROHAN'. But still one more person is there.

Any guesses who is he/she?

Someone guessed Vikram. But sorry😀, I don't think so that vikram has any kinda role in the upcoming chapters. Let it be, not to talk about the future as here everyone are only digging the past to get their answers😐

So comment if you are not satisfied with this chp. Comment even if you like it. As I can't judge on my own na.😋😅
