All's well that ends well

***********

.

All I am feeling is the pain,the broken trust,the heart break of betrayal by my own parents.

"You cant stay here,I cant return those 30 lakhs your husband gave me in exchange of you",Those words by my dad still kept ringing in my mind.My own dad sold me..he has in fact rejected me and betrayed my interests in favor of himself and his interests.I turned my foot towards the door to go away from my parents and 'their' home.

"Tara,child wait,please",came Amma's voice.

"Amma if you have even a ounce of love or sympathy for me,please explain me all this freaking shit,please",I broke down.

"Tara,when we got to know you were married,Your dad came to your home to take you back from that monster,You were no where to be seen...

**********

"Bastard leave my daughter..this is not a marraige,I wont let my princess to stay with you",Came Tara's dad barging into the kashyap's mansion.

"Cool mamayya(father-in-law)",said aadi.

"Dont call me that"

"Why father-in-law?Do whatever you want she is my wife now...Okay...Lets make a deal mamayya..How about I give you 5 lakhs,And in exchange you will leave your daughter to me,You will have no right to visit her,talk to her or take her away from me".

"No ..Over my dead body,where is my princess call her,I need to see her" ,Tara's dad shouted.

"Okay 10 lakhs"..."No"

"Okay 15"....."No",This time the intensity in his voice decreased.

"20 LAKHS then?"...."No",Said tara's dad but it came as a whisper.

"30?"....By now Tara's dad eyes lit up in surprise,his love for his daughter started fading slowly as the money increased,He started thinking about the things he could do with those 30 lakhs.

'It's not like I am leaving my daughter,she is an adult now,she can take care of herself,and aadi is rich,she will also enjoy the luxurious life,Slowly aadi will also start loving her,Who can never love my princess',Tara's dad thought to himself and walked out with 30 lakhs in his hand"

*********

"I am so sorry tara,forgive me,I never thought your dad could become so selfish,If I was not out of the town that time I would have stopped him,Please dont leave",Amma started crying. Dont know where but I walked away numbly,unable to bear their betrayal.

What have aadi must thought ?May be he thought I was a gold digger....May be he tortured me all the while due to this,My own parents trashed away my respect in front of him.I lifted my head to find that I am near the small bridge over the pond.

My phone rang.

"Guess what..I am in hyderabad",I heard monu's voice..The only person who did not hurt me until now."Tara...what happened,where are you?",he asked sensing sadness in my silence..."Bridge",I slowly replied and cut the call,wanting to be alone.

Next thing I realised,I was drowning,slowly,my mind said me it was wrong,but my body did not move,last thing I know I was drowned completely when some one dragged me up forcefully.

I was slapped..."What do you think you are doing?",shouted mohith.

"I Don't Know...I dont want to live anymore",I sobbed,"",I said him my whole story while sobbing.

"I understand ..But tara Your first priority is yourself. Build that ideal. Understand that some people like your father and your husband don't meet your definition of family, or your standards, or share your values. They have no right be part of your life.You deserve to be loved and wanted, and not betrayed.You are the the best person I met.

There are actions, though, that you can take to can heal yourself. Every hurt has its own story, and so does every healing. You can only heal yourself when you've filled the hole left behind by a betrayal, Come with me to vizag,make a new life there I promise that you will have the best and most successful life, in every way,",he held my hand,"I will take care of you,you are the only family I have,My god-sister,U were like a mother to a orphan like me".

.................

I looked up to see Natsha was crying,"Nats it's okay,everything is fine now".

"No tara,I am partly to be blamed for this...Your aadi is a gem tara,He did not cheat on you,He was mumbling in his sleep That he loves his angel,I failed to realize that angel was you,he did not even knew that I was there,I only hugged him as a good bye,And then you opened the door,I swear on my mom Nothing happened".

"Really nats?",I asked her crying,I forgave aadi but somewhere in my heart that pain still remained,But now everything is gone,"",I smiled with my happy tears.

....And this is what happened,I know you will hate me child",said my grandpa.

"".

"I appreciate it my boy,I am thinking instead of donating and money going into hands of corrupted people,we will build our own franchises of old age homes and orphanages,You and Mohith will supervise them and its final"

"Okay grandpa as you wish,But let this Mr.Murthy's secret be burried between us".

We reached home,to see aadi was standing at the door pacing nervously.

"Angel where were you,It had been so long,do you know how tensed I was?"I am so lucky to have him in my life,I could not control my love for aadi anymore,I jumped on him and hugged him tightly,not caring we have people around us watching us,I stood on my toes and kissed his forehead.

"Thank you for coming into my life aadi",I said blushing,"No angel I am more thank ful for your presence in my life",with that we embraced each other again and aadi kept peaking my forehead and hair.

"God earlier they used to take their PDA to living room atleast,Now they are doing it in the porch itself,What next? In the lift?Or on the road?Or....."monu started rambling and was smacked on his head by Nats.

"Learn something from them,you ediot...awww....just look at them",she said cooing at the hugging couple.

"Tara",came a shaking voice from behind,which made me leave aadi's embrace at that instant,I stared at the people in front of me bewildered.

"A-aM-Amma",I said fumbling.

"Tara,my child",wih that she came and hugged me tightly.

..............

Later we were sitting in the living room.

"Why are you here?"

"Princess I am sorry",...."No dont call me that anymore please"

"Sorry beta,I cant tell you how badly I regret for being selfish,But when aadi gave me money I thought I could change our chawl people's life,You were always intelligent,smart,You are capable to make your own career,where as many people of chawl are incapable of doing anything,I thought that money could help us to start business,and could change many people's lives,I know this does not justify the stupid thing I did,But I just wanted to tell you

We are all mistaken sometimes; sometimes we do wrong things, things that have bad consequences. But it does not mean we are evil, or that we cannot be trusted ever afterward....please forgive me princess if possible",said my dad,he has tears in his eyes,I felt good to hear that he did not take money for his own selfish reasons,he took it for our society,but that did not mean that I could forgive them.I dont know what to do,I just got up and walked away from there slowly.I went to the balcony and stood there watching the moon.

I felt a presence behind me,"Do you want to become mahaan(great) by doing all this....By mending my broken family?"

".

",aadi requested,but I did not relent,He caught me by by shoulders and turned me towards him.

"Okay tell me why did you forgive me?",he asked cupping my face with his hands.

"I forgave you but did not create a relationship, Unless you spoke the truth about what you have done and changed your mind and behavior.. But when you finally confessed and repented, I discovered a miracle in my own heart that allowed me to reach out and begin to build between you and me a bridge of reconciliation.

Okay I forgive them but does not excuse anything,It will take time to be normal with them again",I said aadi.

"That is more than enough for now my angel"

"Okay how did you know I was in vizag ?"

"Oh that after you disappeared I went to your home,I found that you never knew anything about the money,Then I hired a private investigator,I found your address,When I reached the home,You were sleeping like an angel so I bought you to hyderabad in plane and you know what that traitor friend of your's monu did not stop me too",he said and was about to kiss me,I stopped him by putting my hand on his chest,"Aadi they might be waiting for us and I should take monu's class,Leave my lips".

"Leave your lips angel ummm let me think",he said and touched my lips with his hand,"".

"Stop being so cheesy,Every one out there already knows that you are the 'king of romance',No need to justify your title",I said laughing and lifted my head to see that he was frowning and pouting.

"What happened to my hubby now?",I asked cutely.

"My wifey happened,these days she don't love me anymore,she wont even say I LOVE YOU TOO,when I say I love you to her",He said sadly,Oh no!! I dont want him to be sad especially after what all he did for me.

"

,I said blushing.."Now let's go every one are waiting for us",I dragged him.

"Nice one angel,I am glad,But I want those three magical words".,He said with his lips hovering on mine.

"I love you",I mumbled.

"What did you say angel,I did not hear properly",He said breathing on my lips.

,With that I crashed my lips on his.
