STRIVING FOR HAPPINESS

love and trust , you broke today

The whole family was stunned by this. They are all confused and dumbfounded by Asha ' s actions. No one believes what just happened. Asha ,who was always doting and pampering Sandhya, how she could slap her.

She just came from foreign trip and Sandhya didn't do anything worse in those 20 days period , for that she slapped her. All were in their thoughts except Ashok and Mr. V.k Nair. They both are aware why Asha behaved so furious and indefinitely.

Ashok turned his face to his brother with some hope that he came forward and handled the situation but how's it possible?

Vikash was more shocked and angry. Few minutes before he was trying to harm Sandhya, but he never allowed anyone to hurt his wife like this. The whole family was there and Sandhya lost her face between them.

She was standing there like a statue and staring at ground flooring with no thought no expression; just and just tears were rolling from her eyes without taking a microsecond hold.

Mr.V.K.Nair glared at his wife with full rage. He wanted to stop her but there was his full family and few servants also there. It was almost midnight 11.45 pm. But due to them , coming back, servants and family members waited for them in the hall area.

Asha was scared by her own actions. She noted Vikash came from upstairs and he also saw what she did. But what she did she didn't want to regret at that time.

After 1 or 2 mins break , Asha opened her mouth " Who told you that Vikash is not my child and He is an adopted child of the Nair family ?"

Hearing this Vikash quickly rushed to her mother and Sannu 's side.

"Mummy. . " he tried to handle the situation but stopped by Asha.

" Just shut up… I am asking this unfilial girl.. how could she spout nonsense infront if outsiders. .?" She stopped and blamed Sandhya for sharing this to her parents. .

Ashok understood his mother's intention . But he was helpless like his father. He remembered his father's words during the whole journey " you have to accept what you did. It was an accident if you will explain then they both will understand and forgive you.."

Ashok was also aware that his mother was quiet during the journey and now she actually offended his father's decision just to save him.

He became more ashamed and guilty by thinking this. Sannu was totally innocent who didn't know what's going on there. What she said her parents all were true.

" From now on..You, Sandhya. Nair , are not allowed to talk with your family nor allow you to meet them. In future if something happens to them or you, still not allow. . Did you get it. .!?"

She held Sannu both shoulders and shook her . Sannu just then came out from her daze and saw Vikash.

He already hurt her today enough and her beloved mother-in-law put so many restrictions on her . She was caged in this big capitalist family and house.

"And One more thing, without my permission you are not allowed to go out. I don't want any trouble by your stupid action. So from now… You can just stroll inside the house and do what we say..

We already paid 5 crore more to your parents to keep their mouth shut and threatened them not to contact you . They also agreed. So you have to… otherwise I have to be more strict and harsh to make you in discipline. "

Sandhya didn't react but Vikash did. He held her arm and turned her to his side with some force. "Did you get that? You have to do what we say.. so do what I said before. And obediently followed me.. " His sound was too low; only they both could hear what he said . His mother was there by a feet away. But she also could not get what he said.

Hearing his words she remembered what he was trying to do with her a few minutes before.

She hurriedly pushed him and released herself from her grip. With that he screamed " I WILL NOT."

Asha and other family members were shocked that she dared to provoke Asha , but in the next second Sannu again spoke " I WILL DO WHAT MRS NAIR ASKED ME. I WILL NEVER CONTACT WITH MY FAMILY FROM NOW ON.. BUT I WILL NOT DO WHAT YOU ASK. IT'S MY BABY I WANT HIM , I WILL DELIVER HIM FOR ME.. TODAY I FOUND; I AND MY FAMILY SCHEMED BY YOU ALL.

AND MY PARENTS NEVER SOLD ME.. OUR RELATIONSHIP WAS NOT ANY DEAL. WE ARE MARRIED TO EACH OTHER . AND THIS IS MY BABY , MY LOVE AND MY TRUST ON YOU , WHICH YOU BROKE TODAY..

YOU TOLD ME THAT YOU WERE ADOPTED ; YOU TOLD ME THAT YOUR UNCLES TRAPPED YOU.. IT WAS YOU..NOT ME… I AM INNOCENT JUST LIKE MY UNBORN BABY.. "

She finally let her pain out through her words.. Except Vikash the whole family saw her with confused looks. They all were happy and also sacred.

Sandhya looked at all the people who were staring at her. She could not find what kind of thoughts they have.

" Sister-in-law. .. Are you.. are you really pregnant? '' Ashok 's questions frightened her more .

She remembered what Vikash told her before she thought (so the whole family thought that her pregnancy has some problems so she cannot be pregnant. .oh god.. !! Now.. I can't contact my family and these all are looking at me with disbelief .. maybe … maybe , they all will beat me up and kill my child .. I have to save my baby from them . I will bear all thier torture for the sake of my baby..I want my baby for my side. Otherwise I can't survive. I can't. )

She slowly slowly took her steps back to the door. Her eyes were scoring those all people who were glaring at her. No one noticed her action. Becoz she was too slow.

"Vikash...I ..I am going to be granny again.." His mother's happy voice again broke the silence and catched all people 's attention.

Before Vikash could say they all heard the door closing sound.

Sandhya ran from the house and went to her servant quarter. She was too scared and also felt dizzy. She didn't eat her lunch properly and missed her dinner too. Plus Vikash's violent behaviour .

And it was not enough that her mother-in-law also humiliated her so much. She would become a matter of gossip in between servants , no one would respect her , no one was there to care for her and her unborn baby. Their all intentions same, just to humiliate her and torture her that she convinced for abortion.

To save her unborn baby's life she had to be awake and stubborn..

After entering the room first locked the door and pushed her bed to the door to block it . So no one could enter her room. She knew it's useless because there were so many , she was alone. Then she put all her 2 bags on the bed.

If she was not in trauma, she must have laughed at her own actions. But that time she just wanted to save her life, nothing else. So her action gave her some confidence that no one will enter her room .

After putting all things to bed she was standing in the middle of the room by thinking about her past life and future.

It's confirmed they will never accept her child and she also can't ask help from outsiders. They all will be more strict and dominant with her.

She took her parents a photo frame from the bed and cried loud..

"Mummy. .Papa. . I missed you. please save me.. please save..me.. they will kill my child. .please. .save me.."

----------------------

Meanwhile in Nair house. All were Confused why she ran away from the house. They all were assured that security would not allow her to go outside so maybe she wanted some space to adjust with the situation. Or digest what just happened.

Suddenly Mr.V.K.Nair came to Vikash and slapped him tightly. ..

All were stunned again. What's going on there. .First Asha slapped Sandhya and now Mr. V.k Nair who never lost his temper easily. For What, he slapped Vikash who was his most dotted and filial child for him, He was his pride , his previous treasure.

But not Vikash. He was aware why Mr. V.k Nair slapped him.

" Why did she run away ? I saw your fingerprints on her neck. . Did You hurt her..? She was scared by you more , not by us.."

Vikash didn't dare to meet gaze with his father. He was shivering from fear. If his father knew what he did I'm his anger and frustration then the consequences would be more bigger then than.
