Chapter 79 — Why ?

Samarth's POV

After a week, I went to the hospital, she wished to be with me but I relinquished, as I was craving for the answers to my questions.

When I asked her to spend time outside, despite her father was admitted in the hospital and not adequately, she agreed, but she again threw up, so I restrained on her activities at home.

He is fine and I saw him sitting on the mattress, I emerged inside the room and asked mom if she needs any kind of help from me. She has done with her work.

I paid the bills and completed the formalities. Anaya is still admitted here, mom went to her room, she is not aware of her evilness. I'm silent because her husband is ready to accept her after knowing her half-truth.

Dad doesn't go to meet her, I asked, " Don't you wanna meet your daughter?"

He nodded and said, "Let's go, she will come to the parking area."

"Hmmm."

I opened the door for him, he sat beside the driver seat, I emerged in the car and with an awkward silence, we were waiting for mom.

"Samarth, " I peered at him, removing my gaze from outside of the car window.

"Hmmm, " I admitted.

"I'm sorry, " His eyes filled with tears.

"I don't want your apology for…" I sighed and retorted, " I want to know, why?"

"Anaya is my own blood, " His words froze me at my place. My face was distorted with various type of expression. 

"What did he mean by saying this?" My mind raised a question but I skipped to implore.

"I know you are confused, hearing me, " He leaned his back on the seat. I glanced at him with a knickknack.

He filled his lungs breathing deeply.

"When Mamta was not conceiving, I was distracted by her. But her love and care never enable me to confess my emotion for my secretary. I was in a relationship with my secretary Rima. When she informed me about her pregnancy, I was in the ninth cloud. But I could not give rise to our illegitimate unborn child.

Rima fought for her child, but I couldn't accept her in front of the world. She gave birth to Anaya, and she was living in Delhi. She wanted to move on, so I created a scene or you can say drama of adopting her. And Anaya came to our house after the procedure of adoption as an heir of the Arora family. She was always treated as the only princess of our home. Our behaviour spoiled her, she became stubborn and wicked. 

Meanwhile, Arohi arrived in our life. We were so happy, but it impacted badly on her. She started to nauseate Arohi. Life became hell for me, as I was pissed off between my two daughters. one was unaware of the world and reality,  another was loathing her wholeheartedly. Anaya likes you since childhood, but you always like Arohi. Mamta and your mother approached you for Arohi. Whether I have chosen you for Anaya, I was reckoning you as my son in law from the day, Anaya born. Anaya started hating her worse than anything else. 

Life took another whack in our life, Arohi passed away, we all, also your family was assuming Anaya as your bride, maybe you never. It was obvious that she feels for you from childhood, as you feel for Arohi. Eternally, things were transpiring awkwardly, Arohi arrived with you, it was breathtaking for her. She tried to abuse you because she knew that you found her, Sameer already informed her about her. Sameer learnt about this, from the day, you know about her. 

The Rest you know, after her marriage, because of her wickedness, I punished her and terminated her from my all properties, it was necessary. She didn't react instantly.

Meanwhile, Rima contacted her and they started blackmailing me. I always love my status, my name, I couldn't tolerate if they revealed my truth in society or media. so I funded them. Nothing was going bad. I know about your will. So I know that they can't kill Arohi, if she would die, everything will be lost at a blink.

Apparently, they poisoned her, but when I learned that I informed them about your will and they gave her antidote. My daughter was saved. 

You killed them and made me free from their terror. Sameer and Balvir want your business and properties. Soham wants his properties and businesses back from you or Sakshi. Anaya wants her right in my property. She moved on in her life but Sameer and Rima encouraged her to get what belongs to her. They hovered over my mind and my weakness. I supported them financially, nothing else. What they were doing or how they implemented things, I don't know."

Dad divulged his all truth and pain in his heart. Situations swivelled from his hand. There was the problem of creating their children. Apparently, they didn't have kids when they wish, after a long period they had, and their overprotective love spoiled their younger daughter Anaya. She was not treated as she needs to be treated. Contrary, Arohi has grown up in a poor family, that makes her more maturity and understanding of the world and culture. If she stayed here and grown up between them, she would be different from what she is now. The atmosphere around us influenced our behaviour, although, our parents' behaviour also makes a huge impact on our lifestyle and nature.

He is still crying for what he did, he must be admitting guilt, he should tell me for once, I was searching for Sameer like an insane. He knew about him and hid it from me. I reviled him to beneath the surface, but he is her father and I promised her to keep her family safe, she demanded and I wouldn't give, it's absurd.

"You can give your all worth to her, I don't want a single supper from you. I'm enough for my family. Mom is coming, wipe off the tears, " I persuaded, accelerating the engine, I drove towards the mom she smiled back and slid inside the car, taking her seat on the back.

With an awkward silence in the car, we reached the Arora mansion. She went to the kitchen, I glanced at Dad, he is sitting on the couch, his fingers are tangling with each other.

"She was with you, for last one week, did she ever ask you why you committed suicide?" I asked, he raised up his eyebrows and glanced at me with a pitiful expression.

"No, " He exhaled.

"How can you cheat such a pure saul?" I asked I was feeling sympathy for mom.

"Did you try to tell her?" I added one more question. 

"No, " He responded and my gaze is hewn on her, She is coming with coffee mugs, as the water was already served by the maid.

"You should thank God, you are her father, if you are my father, you need not take poison yourself, I would like to hit you with my belt, " I cursed him.

I smiled at her as nothing happened. I took a coffee mug from the tray with a wide smile. She sat beside me with her coffee mug, after giving him his coffee.

"I know everything, Samarth, " She dropped a bomb calmly, and he froze at his seat, I widened my eyes hearing her.

"What are you talking about?" I perplexed.

"That, Anaya is her daughter, " She took another sip of her coffee. We glanced at each other with bewilderment.

"I'm his wife, I know everything, from the starting, he was in a relationship with Rima, they have a daughter, everything, " She burst out.

"Mom…" I sighed.

"No, Samarth, I don't know the reason why he poisoned her with him, " She said genuinely, but it was not genuine for us.

"I'm sorry, Mamta, " He apologised.

"Sorry? For what? I was not able to give you a child, you did it with another woman. I'm thankful that you respected my feelings, and didn't kick me out of this house, " Tears welled her eyes.

"How did you know about these all messes?" He asked in trembling sound.

"At that time, Rajvir was alive, and he and his wife were my best friends. They told me everything. But I blame you neither at that time not now, " She baffled with blubbering eyes.

"If I couldn't give you a baby, you are allowed to do anything. I accepted Anaya say daughter. But she was like her mother, she always creates misunderstanding between us. Then Arohi comes in our life, " She placed her empty mug on the desk, and our mugs are still hanging out in our hand. 

"I hope now you understand the reason behind my behaviour between Anaya and Arohi. If Anita would alive, she never accepts Anaya as her daughter in law. I think it's clear why we were approaching Arohi for Samarth, " Mom dropped a bomb in front of him.

"Why didn't you complain to me ever?" He almost cried.

"Everything is not in our hands all the time, we have to leave them for God. He does everything right, " She inhaled deeply filling her lungs.

How much it was painful to see your love in the arm of someone else. How she passed those years, but that's called Indian wife, who never leaves her husband's hand. He really doesn't deserve her, I wish to kill him right now, no matter how much he helped me in the yore when my parents died. 

I remember her words to keep her family safe, no matter what happened. I looked down on the surface to steal my gaze from mom, as I'm the son who is tolerating her insult, it's not less than an insult. He was cheating on her, and I can not do anything for her.

"Samarth, I talked with Anaya, I have almost broken our all relationship, if he wishes, he can continue his relationship, as she is his daughter. His husband is good to her, he is still ready to give her a second chance, just because his brother suggested to do that, they will leave for London next Monday, " She informed.

"Mom, you are so strong, I'm proud of you, " I hugged her.

"You are the best person ever I have met, I'm glad that you are my son, my son n law, " She almost cried.

I should leave the place, they need privacy, this is their personal life, they need space. 

I left the place immediately, stormed outside the mansion, I called Ravi.

"Anything new?" I asked.

"She is Rima Sahni, her current address is already sent you through message, " Ravi informed.

"I'm coming, " I hang up the call, I have already texted Ravi to find out about her.

After half an hour, I reached the place, she was shivering, my guards were covering her around. They never harm until I order them.

"What would you like to have Mrs Sahni?" I asked plopping my hand inside the pocket. 

"Nothing, I'm sorry, " She gasped.

"You are the one, who gave them shelter, right?" I crowned and she crouched down in front of me.

"Go to Jail or death?" I gritted with anger.

"I'm sorry, I blackmailed him and collected money from many years, " She confessed.

"Na. I'm not punishing for that, this is the punishment for the tears of my mother Mamta, " I declared candidly.

"I know your punishment, I know how you treated Sameer and Balvir. Leave me, " She pleaded.

"None can save you except my wife, and you can't reach there and she can not be here, so you are gone, " I informed.

Suddenly, she got up and ran towards the corridor and jumped out the railing within a blink.

I smirked.

"I think all messes are cleared, " Ravi cleared his throat.

"Ma'am needs to spend some time with you, " He added and a smile erupted on my face memorising her and our baby.

Unexpectedly, I received a call from the hospital, the doctor let out gasping heavily, "Mrs Anaya Ahuja is no more, someone has killed her, we saw the marks around her neck. Sir, this is about the reputation of the hospital, please help us."

"Can you tell me, if you have any doubt on someone?" I asked.

"HER HUSBAND …" Her voice is shattered.

"Don't bother, I'll handle, " I hang up the call and instructed my guards to go the hospital and collect her body.

There is nobody for her and Rima. I informed Ranvir uncle about their death, whether he went there or not, I don't care.

Loving someone who doesn’t love you back is like hugging a cactus; the tighter you hold on, the more it hurts. This happened with Anaya, I drove fast toward the home.

"Is the plane ready?" I asked hoisting the phone to the ear.

"Yes, sir, " I received a reply.

"Okay, I will be there at midnight, " I informed and reached home, she is playing with Vyom and Vihan in the living room.

I was living with the thought of giving up, but I was wrong. Life is not a waste as long as there is at least one person in the world who cares for me. So when things go wrong and I feel like giving up, I remember her face with a radiant smile. And my all problems got unravelled.

"Welcome home, is this the time to come to the home? She has been waiting for you." Dii pulled my ear. I pouted at her with apologetic manifestations.
