"Don't you want it now " manveer asked her
Aashi can feel his concern towards her in this situation too, he was holding her wrist softly. She saw hurtful emotion in his eyes. She instantly regrets for saying those things.
"I'm sorry veer. I didn't mean that it just "She was out of words
"You know what Aashi " he came little closer to her "today you disrespected my love. I'm not angry at you but I'm feeling failure. I feel I'm failed at protecting our love" maanveer whispered and sadness sounds in his voice
"I'm sorry veer" She said looking into his eyes with tearful eyes "I'll never repeat those lines" She said holding his hands
Everyone was confused but didn't uttered a word
"Maan,Aashi what happened" dadasa asked them again
"She wants divorce dadasa" he said looking into her eyes sternly
Everyone's expression changed into shocked expect nandni and aashi looked down not leaving his hands
"What, Aashi why do you want divorce" dadisa asked
"Because she thinks that raghuvanshi family deserves a daughter in law who can give them heir, she said I should divorced her and marry someone who will give me heir" maanveer said stressing the word heir
"Aashi, what is this. Why do you think this beta" kakisa asked in concern
"Bhabhisa,will you be able to live without bhaisa" Aarav asked
"Listen to me carefully Aashi, is janam mai to kya agale har janam mai ham apke saath apka Saya banke rahenge. Duniya ki koi takat hame aapse dur nahi kar sakti. Ham na to apko hame chodne denge na ham apko chodenge chahe aap hamse bhikh hi kyu na mang le I'll never let you go" he said dangerously
(Listen to me carefully Aashi, I'll never leave you not in this birth neither next. No power can separate us. Neither ill leave you nor let you leave me ,not even if you beg)
"Aur rahi baat is khaandaan ke waris ki to kiaan kaafi hai hamare liye, ham apna sab kuch uske naam kar denge" he added
(And about heir,then kiaan is enough. I'll give him everything what my kids would get"
"Bhabhisa how can you think you don't have kid. Isn't kiaan is your child" Aarav interrupted
"Yes bhabhisa,you are his badimaa, which means you're his mother too" mishka added
"And if anyone has problem with Aashi's complications they can directly talk to me. I will not tolerate if anything like this ever happens " he said eyeing bhusaa
Bhusa looked at everywhere but him
"You hurt me Aashi for the first time,after maasa's death i isolated myself from everyone and then you came into my life, i came out from my shield for you and you made fun of my love" he said and left in his room
"Bhabhisa I always support you but this time you hurt me too" Aarav said and left
"True bhabhisa it wasn't acceptable from you" mishka said and left after taking kiaan in her arms
Dadasa,dadisa,Nandni,nityam and shashank too left
Sharda stood with Aashi but Aashi sat on her knees while crying. Sharda made her stand and they both say on couch
"Kakisa are you also upset with me" Aashi asked crying
"No bacche how can i" She said caressing her hairs
"I'm sorry kakisa,I know I made a huge mistake but I wanted hukumsa's happiness " She said in between her sobs
"Aashi,I don't have any daughter but for me you and mishka are my daughters. And before mishka you were the only one who gave me chance to be a mother of daughter " She said wiping her tears
"Can I say something being your mother " she asked
"Yes kakisa" Aashi said and hold her hands
"Beta,i know you wanted his happiness. But you have to understand that his happiness starts with you and ends with you. Maana ek baccha couple ko pura karta hai, shadi ko puri karta hai par beta jaruri nahi ke aap dono ki khushiya sirf wahi atke"
(I know child completes any couple. But beta it doesn't mean your happiness lays only on kid) Sharda made her understand
"I'm sorry kakisa,everyone is upset with me how will I pacify them" Aashi asked holding her tears
"Don't worry they will understand your situation too,but you have to be patience and try" She said smilingly
"Thank you kakisa" She said and hugged her
"Now go and try to pacify your husband " kakisa said
"Yes" Aashi replied and wiped her tears "Good night" saying this she left to her room
When she reached, she didn't found maanveer present there. She saw him standing at balcony backfacing her. She locked the door and went to balcony. Securing her hands around his torso she put her head at his back. Maanveer didn't remove his hands from his pocket
"I am so Sorry veer,I will never repeat this mistake " She said and maanveer felt his shirt getting wet.
"Please veer,you know I can't handle your ignorance " She said and again she didn't get any response
"Veer, please try to understand my situation too,my mind was blank at that time. I just wanted your happiness " She said sobbing
Tears rolled down from his left eye too. Aashi felt water on her hand. She opened her eyes and made him turn
"Are you crying" she asked
"Leave my way" he said and started going but she stopped him by holding his elbow
"Do you want to punish me,I'm ready for that too but please don't ignore me veer" She said looking at him
"Aashi leave my way" he again said
"Not before you forgive me" She said stubbornly
"Forgive " he asked straight looking into her eyes "do you think you made a mistake,no aashi you hurt me this time. You took my love for granted " he said removing her hands from his elbow
"Veer I know and I'm guilty for that please don't ignore me" She said trying to hold him again
"No Aashi " saying this he left to bathroom
Locking himself in bathroom he turned on shower without removing his clothes. His Tears emerged with flow of water.
He remembered his conversation with his father
Flashback
When maanveer came to his room after lashing out on Aashi he sat on bed and put his face on his hands which were on his knees. He felt a hand on his shoulder, titling his head He saw his father standing
"Can I have words with you" his father,nityam singh raghuvanshi asked
"Yes baba" saying this he made space for his father and he sat
"Beta I know you are angry with her but try to understand her situation too. She is going through alot maan. She loves you and that's why she saw your happiness above everything. I'm not saying whatever she said was right. No it wasn't but beta she isn't wrong. She loves you. And you aren't failed as her husband. It's just the circumstances were complicated. Give her all the love and distract her from this topic. Beta being a girl she also wants a child no. Make her understand that you both are enough for eachother " nityam said putting his hand on his shoulder
"Yes baba, but she hurt me this time" maanveer said
"I know maan,but please don't be harsh on her" nityam said
"Yes baba thank you" maanveer said and hugged his father
"Be strong I'm going but try to calm with her" saying this he left
Flashback ends
After some time he came back wearing white tshirt and black track. He saw Aashi sitting on couch in balcony. She is in the same clothes which she wore before the ceremony. Her jewelleries must be making her uncomfortable.
"Aashi change your clothes " saying this maanveer made his way towards the door
Aashi abruptly stands and ran towards the door. Blocking his path with her hands she said
"Veer you don't want to talk to me okay,fine. But please don't leave. You know I can't sleep without hugging you" She said
Maanveer saw her bumped and red eyes. Afterall she was crying from past 1 hour. Maanveer's heart ripped. He didn't said anything and laid on bed.
Aashi sighed and laid beside him without removing her jewelleries and changing clothes. She was tired. She put her head on his chest and covered his torso with her hand. But maanveer didn't react. She waited for few minutes and aftet getting no response She removed her hands and changed her side. Maanveer opened his eyes and saw her sleeping backfacing him. He shook his head and sneak his hands on her bare stomach. Aashi felt his cold touch she smiled.
"I'm sorry veer" She apologized again caressing his hand but maanveer didn't said anything
"I know your upset and you should be but please never ignore me" She said without turning
Maanveer didn't replied but he wanted to hug her tightly
"Am I forgiven " She asked
"But you have to promise me first" maanveer said after her endless efforts
"I'll do anything veer" She said
"Never think about leaving me. Aashi I won't be able to live without you" maanveer said
"To mai kaha apke bina reh paungi"
(Even I can't live without you) she said
Maanveer made her turn and their eyes locked
"I love you veer" She said without breaking eye contact
"I love you too aashi" he said and kissed her forehead
"Aashi, not jaana" She asked
"Yes not jaana" he stated
"But why" She whined
"Because you have to pay for your mistake" he said hovering her
"What do you mean" he asked innocently
"Playing innocent aren't we" he asked
"No veer I don't understand anything" She said blinking her eyes
"Okay then let me show you,you only wanted punishment no" saying this he leaned down and give kiss on left side of her neck
Aashi clutched his tshirt. She was tired but can't deny to him. Afterall she did alot to pacify him. Maanveer backstepped and kissed other side of her neck. He then gave gave kiss her on her forehead and take a step back. Aashi opened her eyes and saw him wearing his slippers
"What happned " She asked confusingly
He stood up
"You must be tired, let's change and sleep" he said and made his way towards closet
"I don't know what good deeds I have done that I got you veer" She thought
"Jaana" he yelled from closet
"Aaiii" She yelled back
(Coming)
Aftet changing they both laid on bed in their regular position
"Veer, Eveyone is upset with me" She said making some patterns on his chest with her finger
"They should be" he Said rolling his eyes
"Okay na,now give me some idea to pacify them" she said
"Then you shoul do something to make them happy" he suggested
"I know veer,but will they forgive me" She asked tilting her head
"Ofcource Jaana,they have to" he said in casual tone
"Veer can I say something" she asked and he nodded "it wasn't bhusaa's fault in whatever happened so please...." she was saying something but maanveer kissed her hairs
"Sleep jaana,good night " saying this he made circle around her arms with his hands and they both drifted in sleep
Next morning, maanveer woke up And saw his Aashi sleeping peacefully. He smiled at looking at her peaceful face.
He removed her hands gently and left to bathroom. When he came back he found Aashi already awaken.
"Good morning patidev" she wished him
"Good morning " he said and smiled
"Veer tell me what should I do" she asked rubbing her eyes
"Means" he asked wearing his watch
"Arehh everyone is upset with me no" she reminds him
"It's your matter Jaana,solve it by yourself " he said casually
"Haww how rude" she said
"I didn't said to say those things" he said and rolled his eyes
"I hate you veer" She said and left to bathroom
"I love you more jaana" he yelled
Aashi was in kitchen making everyone's favorite dishes. A maid came and informed her that everyone arrived. She checked everything last time and ordered servants to bring dishes to dining table
Aashi took blessing from elders. She eyed on Sharda and in return she got assuring nod from her.
Aashi ordered servants to serve and she took seat beside maanveer. Everybody looked at their dishes and found their favorite food.
"I know whatever I did or said yesterday isn't acceptable but please forgive me" she said in low voice
Maanveer squeezed her hand under the table to give her support
"Aashi,we understand your situation beta. But never say anything like this again " dadasa said
"Promise dadasa" she pinch her throat
"Can we proceed, I can't wait to eat your handmade food" shashank asked
"But am I forgiven" She asked
They shared a look
"Yess" Eveyone said in union expect maanveer,Nandni and dadisa
" thank you" she said and smiled
"But bhabhisa you have to make another dish too" Aarav said
"Why" she asked
"Because we have double relation no" aarav said and chuckled
"Sure" Aashi said and smiled
"Bhabhisa kiaan is saying that he can't eat so you have to spend your whole day with him as compensation " mishka said
"Pakka" Aashi said
Aftet breakfast Eveyone stood
"I have to tell you all something " maanveer declared
"What" dadisa asked narrowing her eyes
"Aarav" he eyed on aarav
"Yes bhaisa" saying this aarav left and came back with papers in his hands
"What are this papers maan" dadisa asked
"Dadisa,you all may feel angry or upset after knowing about this papers but let me clear one thing that i Don't care at all" maanveer stated
"Maan,what's in the pappers" his dadasa asked
Maanveer gave papers to him,after watching inside the papers his eyes became red
"What the hell is this maan" he roared
"Nothing infront of whatever happened yesterday dadasa,and let me remind you that I'm your grandson and I too can roar" he said calmly
