We Found Us

Chapter 13

Meera's POV:

The car came and stood infront of a huge black gate. Getting down I looked at the big house, it looks beautiful from outside. It is bright yellow in color. The area also looks a very decent one.

"Shub leave the bags at my place and then go home". Karan told him.

"Yeah don't worry, I'll do it".

He said coming out of the back seat and getting into the driver seat.

"Good luck to you guys. I wish uncle and the rest just understand your situation".

He told us with a small smile.

We both nodded at him and looked at each other with blank faces. Shubam then left. We turned and Karan opened the gates. We walked inside till the door which is already open.

Just before we could step in, he held my wrist and I stopped.

"Whatever happens inside now, I just want you to know that I will never leave you".

He said looking straight into my eyes.

"I trust you!" I said in the same way.

I held his hand tightly and so did he talking deep beraths we stepped inside and walked up to the house. It led to the living room. It's a beautiful individual house. I can't deny the beauty of it.

There are two old aged men

sitting on the sofa and playing some game with another small boy child. We both walked and stood in the middle of the room.

Both the men stopped as soon as they saw us.

"Karan, son?" Said on of the men getting up he came close to us.

Karan left my hand and went and hugged that man. They both shared an emotional moment.

Before Karan could respond.....

"Mamu!". Said that small boy and hugged karan's legs.

"Hey, Tarun how are you? And your alone here, where are you parents?" He asked him carrying him in his arms.

"My parents have gone to their friends house so, they dropped me here. They will come back in the evening". He said sweetly.

Karan kissed his forehead and put him down.

"Son where were you for past two days? We tried calling you but you didn't respond. You just get got up from that major accident".

Said that man worriedly.

"Mohan bhaiya, let's sit and talk I think Karan has a lot to say".

Said the other uncle standing behind.

"Okay!" He said and looked at me strangely from top to bottom.

I stood blank not knowing how to express myself. Karan turned to me and gestured to follow him. But as we took another step.....

"Wait there!!!".

We heard a loud voice.

We all turned and looked, a lady maybe in her late 50ts standing there with an angry face. She looked angry to me from far.

I panicked, God I just hope she's not going to do anything like those vamps in the serials. I looked at Karan who too is standing nervous.

She rushed and came stood in front of us. She looked at me from top to bottom and turned towards Karan.

"You say I'm like your mother right?" She asked him sternly.

"Bharti ma, I'll explain to you....

"No, karan there is nothing left to explain". She said loudly.

"I can see everything very clearly!" She said looking over at me.

I put my head down in shame. I'm feeling so bad for doing this to him and his family. God please give him strength!. I mentally prayed.

"Bharti, give him a chance to explain. I'm sure there is something big". Said the other man.

"No Param, I won't accept any reason for not informing".

She said angrily but I felt her pain.

"Bharti ma, I sware everything happened in a second that even I didn't have time to think".

Karan said trying to defend us.

"Bharti, let go it. Let them explain first. I want to know the reason for whatever he's done".

Said the other man.

"But, Mohan Bhai how could he do something like this?"

She asked him.

"Bharti, I said give him a moment to speak". That man said again.

She huffed crossing her arms around her chest and turned her face. I don't know the state of my mind currently.

"Dad....!" Karan said going and holding the man's hand.

Ok so that's his dad, and the other is his uncle and this lady is his aunty. Ny mind is running.

"Dad, I'm really sorry. But, seriously I had no other option or else her life would have got ruined again".

He said and put his head down.

My heart sank deep down and tears started flowing down my eyes. This wasn't what I wanted.

"Mohan mama, Karan is innocent please don't blame him for anything. He told me everything before he did".

I head another female's voice.

I tuned and looked she stood behind me near the door and smiled at me. The first person to smile at me in this house. I looked at her blankly. She came inside and another guy followed her in.

"What are you saying Radha, you knew everything before?"

Asked Karan's uncle in shock.

"And you didn't bother to tell us anything?" Asked his dad.

"Don't cover up for your brother's mistakes".

Said his aunty looking at her.

"Cool down people, just give them a moment to breathe and let them explain their situation. I'm sure after knowing the truth you people will agree to whatever happened".

She said boldly and looked at me again.

That small boy came running towards this guy and he carried him kissing his cheek.

"Fine go ahead, let me also hear your story".

Said his aunty scarstically.

Karan mouthed a thank you to that girl and turned back to his father.

Then he narrated the whole story to everyone. As he said things all were more than shocked. Water is not stopping in my eyes. And I didn't dare to lift up my head.

That girl came and held my hand slowly. I looked up at her and she too had water in her eyes. I put back my face down.

"So, that's how I got married and I don't regret my decision even a bit. I'm sorry that I didn't tell you all but, at the moment my mind and heart only needed Meera's safety".

Karan said and left a heavy breath.

"So, now are you all clear as to why my brother had to take such a decision? Even for Meera, I'm sure it wasn't an easy task to do. She has given her life into karan's hands without questioning him because she trusts him, and now our duty is to support them as a family". Said his sister and held my hand tightly.

I'm so grateful to her for whatever she's doing. I can't thank her enough for her support. Now I know the reason why Karan loves her.

"But, we can't sit quietly knowing our son was almost killed and the criminal is walking with freedom". Said his uncle in anger.

"Why did you lie to us about ur accident? Why didn't you tell us the truth before?" Asked his dad sadly.

"I was wanting to speak to Meera first and then tell you all. Also I didn't want to worry any of you by telling the truth then".

Karan said feeling guilty.

"Karan, I almost lost you!".

Said his aunty and started crying.

"Bharti ma, please I'm fine and infront of you now".

Karan said softly.

He went and hugged her, she held him so safety. Looking at them I only thought of my aunty. She was broken when I went home after that night. They broke their hug and aunty walked towards me.

"I'm sorry for everything you've been through. But, I'm not sorry for my reaction. I was concerned for my son".

She said with a gentle smile.

"You don't need to be sorry aunty, it's me who has to be. I know you must have had great dreams for your son's wedding or about having a good daughter in law from a reputed family. I can very well understand your concern".

I said in shame putting my head down.

"Hey, don't say like that.... you are just good for who you are".

His sister said and put her arm around my shoulder.

"But, karan you need to inform the cops. That guy must be punished". Said his sister's husband.

"No, bro I can't. We have no proof for anything. No one knows what happened that night".

Karan replied quickly.

"But Karan.... his dad was about to say something.

"No dad please let's drop this topic. I'm done with everything I can't take all this anymore. Can we please stop it here?".

Karan said sounding tired.

"Yeah we should all have a new start, shouldn't we?".

Said his sister squeezing my shoulder with her side hug.

"Yeah we should". Said his aunty.

"Come with me... Let's forget and start everything new". She said pulling me inside along with her.

"All is well that ends well!".

Said his sister's husband.

I looked at Karan and gave he me an slight smile...........
