SACRIFICE

12

"Dadisa why are you so rude to her, she just asked you about studying nothing more" said Rahul

" She cannot continue and my decision is final" she stood up and left

"What is her problem with bhabs i just don't understand" said Nitya agitated

"Bhai why don't you say anything, don't you feel she is subjected to the hate and insults wrongly" questioned nakul and went away along with Tara

"Bhabhs" said Rahul and went towards the kitchen

Here in the dining room Rehaan kept sitting wondering what just happened

Nitya kept a hand on his shoulder and said "Bhai come with me" and they both went outside in the garden

"Bhai i know that you don't love bhabhi, you are still not over that Eesha" "Nitya" "bhai it's okay, you don't love her but atleast respect her bhai, don't you see what is happening with her, dadisa is hating her insulting her in every possible ways and conditions, she tries to do everything properly but then too dadisa is never happy, she never expects the same things with Tara bhabhi, afcourse she feels bad, bhai you were never like this, you don't love her fine but atleast respect her, she just wants to study, what happened back there to her in her house we don't know but atleast she can be treated properly here, from the day she has come she is just working , cook, clothes just that, is that what a newly wed girl wishes for, she also must have dreams but then we as a family are ruining it for her, Tara bhabhi gets everything she wants but Aarohi bhabhi, she just gets insults and reasons for which she even doesn't know, right now she needs your support it not as a lover but atleast as a friend, the least you could do for her bhai, god forbid if i get married and face something like this i would literally take my life"

"Nitya shut up,don't ever say that, you are my princess, i am never getting you married, if you do ever I'll kill that guy if he makes you cry even a little" said rehaan angry

"Bhai imagine if bhabhi had a brother and he would know how you and the family treated her" question Nitya with teary eyes and rehaan looked down ashamed

"Bhai, make it up to her as a friend atleast, I'm not asking you to love her but treat her as a human atleast"

"Why do you and Rahul like her so much" asked Rehan

She laughed and said "Bhai you haven't seen how pure she is , how she does everything without thinking about herself, when she came in she started treating us like her own kids, food clothes everything she has taken care of , i would say that much attention even mom hasn't given us, nor u guys, you guys are older to us but me and Rahul always felt alone but when she came she took soo much care of us, you will also love her if you see her the right way bhai, don't loose her"

"When did my little sister become soo big" said Rehaan keeping a hand on her head

" Just when you guys started behaving small" said said with her tongue out and ran away

Rehaan laughed and sat for good 5 mins thinking about all that she said .

I think Nitya is right, if not love atleast i can be respect her, it's gonna be 6 months since me got married and not even once have i shown respect to her, and think i need to change my attitude towards her, after dadisa said so many things she must be feeling soo bad, let me check where is she

He went inside and saw Aarohi in the kitchen, she was washing utensils and was crying while doing it, washing the last utensil she was done and was closing the kitchen lights she moved out of the house towards the pool

Why is she going towards the pool at this time, doesn't she want to sleep. He followed her and saw her sitting by the pool with her feet dipped in water and she was crying, again

What should I do ya, should I go? I was thinking when "masa?"
" you should go, she needs you" she said and went away"

I moved towards the pool and sat down just like she sat and the moment I did she rushed to get up
Wiping her tears" do you need anything? Sorry i came to sit here, let's go I'll do the clothes also for everyone "

"Sit down , i don't need anything " she looked puzzled but sat down

"What subject do you want to study?"

"Huh" she asked coming out what she was thinking " i asked what subject do you want to study" She gave a sad smile and said "history, i always wanted to be a history teacher" and i looked at her as if she had gone nuts "seriously history?, Out of all the subjects you want to study history" she frowned a little and looked down " i always liked history, in school and in college, i used to top all the history papers, i wanted to do something in life, i like kids and always wanted to teach them, i wanted to make my dad proud, to show him that i could do something, i was not a waste and useless" she said smiling looking at the water. She looked soo beautiful smiling genuinely but still so sad within

"Hm, so any college do you have in mind?" "What's the point of keeping in mind , dadisa has clearly said no, " and a tear slipped her eye which she wiped instantly " i think i should focus on the house only" with that she stood up and went inside and i kept thinking why is she like this.

At this point i was determined that i will make her study no matter what and convincing dadisa was not an issue, i am Rehan suryavanshi i make decisions and no one goes against it. I stood up and was about to go inside when i remembered that she wanted to eat icecream and dadisa purposely slipped it. I think i should buy her, that can make her happy i guess

I sat in the car and drove towards the icecream shop and bought a tub of icecream for her chocolate icecream! I remember guys!

When i went back to the room i saw she was setting up the bed and i silently went inside and kept a the tub on the side table she saw it said "you bought it for Nitya I'll go and give her, she loves chocolate icecream" she smiled and said and i facepalmed myself, this woman but it's not her fault as if i bought many gifts for her

"It's not for her" "acha it's for Tara, wait I'll go and give her, she is having cramps also" n i again gave her a look

"Not for her? Masa then, I'll go and give her then" she kept saying soo cutely
"But masa doens't have sweet in the night" she kept talking to herself

"I bought it for you, u did not have it earlier right and Rahul told you like chocolate icecream allot, so i thought " and i scratched my neck

She looked at me for a brief second and then smiled and her eyes had tears
"For me?," She said "yes" and her eyes moistened more, "why are you crying, don't cry if you don't like this flavour we can get a different one" "no, nobody ever bought me icecream after hi- " she was about to say and the she stopped

"Thankyou" she said and wiped her eyes

She took the tub and went towards the kitchen i somehow did follow

She went to kitchen happily and started taking out cups " I'll have icecream, chocolate icecream" she sang and i chukled looking at her, she looked like a baby

She filled the entire bowl and was talking to the bowl " i missed you so much icecream, i love you to the moon and back, why did you leave " and she took the first spoon and she moaned in happiness " aah , this is all i want after a day" she was happily seeing the icecream and eating as if she has not had it since soo many days

She filled another bowl , i was about to go and say her not to have so much she will get cold but two hands stopped me, "let her eat bhai, I'm seeing her this happy after so long" it was Rahul and Nitya Whispered " thankyou bhai" and i smiled at them and we saw her eating happily, she is going to be more happy tomorrow

But all this happening did not unnoticed by dadisa who just wanted to ruin all this

"I'll stop now, I'll save this tub for other days also, kab mile phir ye khushi"

And we all chuckled , " we should go she is also going" and i returned to the room i put my head on the pillow and pretended to sleep , when she entered the room so happy, she changed and then came to the bed and slept

Tomorrow you will get to study Aarohi,i promise that
