Chapter - 6: The Reveal

                                    

                                          

At The Hotel Suite:

Roohi and Manjari returned from their walk feeling rather fresh and only felt better when they found Abhir waiting for them. Abhir was getting a champi from Abhimanyu who wasn't letting away any opportunity to pamper his son, he had missed so much.

Roohi wasn't expecting such visuals to be honest. She was really tensed for Abhir because she knew how angry Abhimanyu actually got when he got to know of Abhir's fight. He snapped at Roohi assuming that she was siding with Abhir. She was dreading her father's reaction and her impending debut performance in front of a woman who was her mother till some time ago and the whole Nation who decides to watch the show. 

All of it was getting on to her nerves which is why she went out for a walk. But the scene in front of her was a different picture altogether. She clapped her hands sarcastically and spoke, 

"Wah wah wah! Kamaal hain. Dhanya hain aap donon. In mahashay ke aane se pehle tak, mere pyare Poppy gusse mein ghoom rahe the. Main keh kuch aur rahi thi. Unhone samjha kuch aur...aur mujhe hi sunadiya. Iski galti mein iski side lene keliye. 

Ab dekho toh...kaise khush ho rahe hain. Champi di jaa rahi hain. Dida! Hum na dubara walk pe chalte hain. I think I need one." She taunted without remorse. 

Abhir pouted and Abhimanyu royally ignored. He knew that what Roohi said was absolutely true. He was very angry, and he is still upset about the whole ordeal. He even addressed the matter. He was just not in a mood to carry out the consequences and frankly, he didn't have the heart to be so harsh to his kid. He met him after almost 3 long days, and he would first cherish his presence before he thought of anything else. 

Now, because he had nothing to say in his defense, he just ignored it. Abhir on the other hand wanted to go and hug Roohi the minute he saw her, but her words stopped him from doing that. He missed her a lot and expected the same from her. When she started taunting, he was disappointed that she didn't miss him enough. So, he just pouted and sat there without moving.

Roohi got no response from the duo and that irritated her. She was about to taunt them more, but Manjari silenced her. 

"Kya tu bhi shuru hojati hain kabhi bhi. Itne dinon baad aaya hain woh. Humne kitna miss kiya use. Pehle pyaar se gale laga, batein kar. Sari kasar poori kar aur uske baad sunadena jo tujhe bolna hain woh." Manjari told her off and it was Roohi's turn to pout. 

Abhir got up and rushed to Manjari. He engulfed her in a tight hug, and she peppered his face with kisses. She checked to see any traces of injuries but all she could see were some pinkish looking scratches on his fair skin. She sighed in relief. 

"Kya karta rehta hain tu Abhir? Jaan nikal di na tu ne Bacha. Aisa koi karta hain kya? Ek baar bhi nahi socha ki agar tujhe kuch hojatha toh hum sab kitna pareshan hojate?" She chided him softly and whacked him lightly. 

Abhir held his ears and said, "Sorry Dida. Jaanke nahi kiya maine. Aagey se aise nahi karunga. Pakka. Maaf kardo na." He apologized cutely and she gave in.
