Chapter 8

THE CRIES OF MY HEART #chapter8

At the Pathanias, Vaishnavi and Richa were sitting in the living room. Vaishnavi was teaching Richa to knit:

Richa: you know mom when I know how to knit I will definitely make socks for my brother's future child

Vaishnavi: you will do it if and only if your dear brother gets married one day

Richa: he's going to get married and I'm sure of that! His wife will be a very beautiful and respectful girl...

Vaishnavi: I wish so too…

Suddenly Amrish walks in saddened as if he just had a problem, Vaishnavi looks up and sees him, she directly gets up and walks up to him all worried and Richa puts down the thread and the treble and comes towards them too :

Vaishnavi: Amrish what's wrong? Why are you so sad? Tell me what's the problem (she asked all worried)

Richa: Come on bro, talk to us, we're all worried here… Is this one of your fights with our father again? What else did he say to you?

Amrish: (pause)…

Richa: if it's him tell—I'm going to go see him and tell him to stop chasing you! You know very well that me and him, we get along and we understand each other

And there, they see a person coming forward with a suitcase, Vaishnavi is all shocked and surprised at the same time. Richa automatically smiles and runs to throw herself at this person who was none other than Kamini:

Richa: wow Kamini is it really you? Oh my God tell me I'm not in a dream (she said enthusiastically)

Kamini: but no Richu you are in reality…

Vaishnavi: (hugs her) finally I see you again my daughter I missed you so much

Kamini: you too my aunt…

The reunion was done in joy and harmony. At the Vandhara house, it was quite the opposite, Ashoka was impatiently awaiting the arrival of her daughter but she did not point her nose “where can she be until this hour? Shivani is not used to taking so long” Ashoka kept saying to himself, Jatin arrived in the living room and saw her pointing in front of the door, he dodges a smile:

Jatin: stop behaving like a little Ashoka girl! Shivani is no longer a child, she knows what she is doing! Either way, she'll come back...

Ashoka: (ignores him)

Jatin: You just praise her all day long but look what is she doing? She's out strutting around with men!

Ashoka: (loss) you mean my daughter is indulging in debauchery? Well at least that I prefer! I'd rather my daughter engage in debauchery than she address a high profile criminal

Jatin: and who do you dare to talk about like that?

Ashoka: well let's see who would you like it to be? It's from your dear and adored daughter Survi…(slams her)

Shivani: (enters) mom…

Ashoka: (happy) oh my daughter you're back come my darling (she took her daughter's hand and to Jatin) and one thing I strictly forbid your daughter to approach Shivani otherwise she will forever regret this day where she was born in this family

Ashoka went with Shivani but on the way, she meets Survi, Ashoka observes her with a cold look that Survi didn't have the courage to look at her. Kavita who had followed the whole scene being hidden behind a curtain smiled "wow my plan is taking effect!" Soon we won't hear from the Vandhara family! Now I have to play the very last trick for this family to be wiped out forever”…

Prasher: Kavita what are you doing behind that curtain?

Kavita: (shocked and surprised) Uh Prasher…I…I

Prasher: what? Are you now spying in this house?

Kavita: well no how can you think such an absurd thing? By the way I received this envelope from the clinic and it had fallen in this place so I came to look for it

Prasher: an envelope? And what does it contain?

Kavita: I think those are the results of the fingerprints on the coffee cup...

Prasher: show…

He took the envelope from Kavita's hands and opened it, pulled out the paper inside, unfolded it and read and suddenly shock and amazement was on Prasher's face. He couldn't believe his eyes "what?" How is this possible? »… Kavita was also surprised :

Kavita: Prasher what's going on? Why do you look so petrified?

Prasher: (starts screaming) Survive! Survive ! Where are you ?

He walks into the living room and sees Survi who was serving tea to Jatin, Prasher walks up to her and throws the tray she was holding and everything breaks (the tray and as well as the cup). Survi is surprised, Jatin jumps up, Ashoka and Survi are alerted by the noise and come downstairs:

Survi: (shaking) but… But Prasher what got into you?

Prasher: Explain that to me! (throws the paper in her face)

Survi stoops takes the paper and reads, she is shocked. Jatin takes the paper from Survi and reads, he is also surprised:

Prasher: all this time you were denying the fact that you weren't the one who poisoned Kavita but as we often say "despite the length of the night, the day will eventually rise" today we all know your real face (he spat)

Survived: (in tears)

Prasher: you're just a liar, a murderer what were you thinking? That we will never know anything? Sorry but you made a mistake! In addition, we should not have suspected it from the start because three years ago you had already pushed Kavita from the top of the stairs, which caused her to lose our very first child? Why are you doing this? Why do you want me so bad?

Jatin: but what are you doing to dare to speak like this to your little sister?

Prasher: only the accomplice can defend the culprit! What proves that you are not his accomplice? Despite the evidence you still refuse to admit that Survi is the culprit

Jatin: even if one day the world turns its back on my daughter, I will always be there to support her… Whether she is right or wrong, I will be her physical and moral support!

Ashoka: bah try to make yourself clear Jatin! Your daughter is the culprit… We found her fingerprints on the cup—what other proof do you need?

Jatin: I don't need proof! Even with this paper I remain firm on my decision that Survi had nothing to do with it!

Kavita: (thinks "I shouldn't just stand there or everything won't go as planned, I have to play the destroyed victim")

Shivani: (pause)

Survived: (in tears)

Kavita: (walks up to Survi) why did—you do this to me? Survi, I who considered you a sister and not a sister-in-law never imagined that you would be able to give me such a twisted blow (in tears) what did I do to you Survi? Tell me what mistake did I make for you to do this horrible thing to me?

Survived: (stunned)

Kavita: when I arrived in this house you were the one who was fighting to be accepted into the family because I came from a brothel I could not imagine that it was this same person who make you suffer so much! You wanted to kill this poor little being who hasn't even seen the light of day yet, why so much cruelty? (Shake Survi) answer—me! Speak ! Why are you doing all this?

She was still getting fragile and starting to feel dizzy until she passed out everyone is shocked, Prasher was holding her in his arms because he caught her when she was falling, Survi wanted to approach her:

Prasher: don't dare lay your hands of misfortune on my wife otherwise I won't hesitate to forget the blood tie that unites you and me!

Survived: (injured)

Prasher: If all this happens today in Kavita you are the only responsible and I don't want to see you in this house anymore! I want you out of this house within the next three hours...

He took Kavita in "princess mode" and left. Survi was petrified, paralyzed, dejected, stunned, shocked and all that goes with it, she collapses to the ground in tears:

Ashoka: (took Shivani's hand) Come, let's go! We shouldn't stay near these people, they might infect us...

She left with her daughter, Survi was devastated (the song "Kabira" was playing) Jatin lowers herself next to her daughter:

Survi: (sobbing) Dad, believe me, I had nothing to do with it! I didn't do anything daddy...

Jatin: (wipes away her tears) shhh my princess, I know that very well! I know you can't hurt even a fly! My princess is not a criminal! Go come here...

Jatin took her daughter in her arms, she was still sobbing.
