Part 4

In the morning, again everyone was sitting in the living room to figure out a way to come out of all the mess. Ashwini and Ninad also invited Kamal and Alka as whatever decision would be taken would also affect Sai's life. 

Again the round of discussions, debates and blames went on for sometime with no result then Kamal   spoke, "Look Ashwini and Ninad, I understand that its difficult for you to give Sai's place to anyone else but me and Alka thought a lot on this matter and we have come to a conclusion that Sai's happiness is of foremost importance to us. Its true that she wants to marry Virat but when Virat doesn't love her, when he will not be happy with her then how come he will keep Sai happy. In the long run Sai will not be happy and we don't want this. Let Virat marry whoever he wants to. Sai will be heart broken, may be even depressed for sometime but we will handle her somehow." 

"Kamal, what are you talking?" Ninad tried to argue 

But this time Alka spoke in between. "Ninad bhaisahab maan jaiye please. I know you have loved Sai not less than Virat but please understand dono baccho ke liye yahi achha hoga. Agar aap abhi pressurize karke Virat ko Sai se shadi karne ke liye raazi bhi kar lenge lekin agar kal ko hamare dono bachhe khush nahi rahe to na kewal unka jeevan barbaad hoga balki iska asar hamari barso se chali aa rahi dosti aur business partnership par bhi pad sakta hai."

"Lekin Alka vahini, Sai is ghar mein Virat ki patni banke aaye ye sapna sirf ab Sai ka nahi raha tha, hamara bhi tha. Aur hume apne bete par bharosa tha isliye humne Sai se vaada bhi kar diya tha ki Virat sirf us ka hoga. Ab main kaise us bachhi se kiya hua vaada tod doon?" Ninad expressed helplessness.

"Karna to padega na dost. Virat aur Sai ek ho jaye ye to hum sab chahte the lekin kuch sapno ke naseeb mein pura hona nahi likha hota. Hume sachhai swikaar karni hi hogi. Dono bachho ke jeevan ka sawaal hai. Itna bada risk hume nahi lena chahiye. Jaha Virat ki khushi hai, waha usko shadi kar lene do. Isi mein dono bachho ka bhala hai." Kamal said with finality.

Virat felt immensely guilty by looking at the sad faces of Sai's parents. He couldn't even imagine how much courage they must have gathered to have this big heart and instead of blaming him, they are supporting him here and thinking about his happiness. "Uncle aunty, I am so...sorry...Sai...I didn't...I am so sorry...I cant...." Virat tried to say but words didn't come out of his mouth. 

"Its ok beta. Its not your fault, we understand that. In fact some where we elders are responsible for this situation. Whenever young Sai used to express her desire to marry you or whenever she expressed her love then instead of making her understand we use to encourage her. We didn't know when the little innocent joke became the reality of our life. Our families have known each other from the longest time. We were only happy to think that both of our children will get married but we didn't know such situation will arise before us." Kamal replied after thinking few seconds.

"But still, in between all this Sai is the one who is going to be affected most. I have always considered her as my daughter. So I give her the right to take final decision on this matter." Ninad declared.
