Destiny

Blames and Mistakes

Present:

David's POV:

I should ask my apologies to Sri. I broke her beyond repair. I went to her even though I know she hates to see me.

I know where to find her. I always had a track on her, because I care for her safety. She never noticed. But I should say this, she is a fully grown woman now. She handles every situation very well, independent as well.

I walked towards her. I stood behind her, I know she noticed my presence because her body stiffened as soon as I stood behind her.

"Sri please give me a chance, "I asked. She remained silent." please"I pleaded this time.

"You know the answer" she replied and Looked into my eyes.

"You didn't have any childhood, so you took away my child's"she snapped.

"She's my child too, she is our daughter Sri, please, "I asked.

"No, I don't believe you. I can't take the risk game. I am already a broken vase David, be careful it may hurt to touch"she spoke and left the place.

My eyes got blurred. She's deeply hurt, it's been years but she is still in the past, I know that's our biggest loss but at least she should give me a chance right?

I know I messed up big times but I changed. I want to be with her. Even I miss my daughter as well, my cutie pie, my princess. But things happened in the past and I could not make them right.

Hansh... Hansh Trivedi, I'm gonna kill you. I need to let out my anger. I went to the Trivedi Mansion. I know no one is going to stop me.

"Hansh Trivedi"I yelled standing in the middle of the living room. Sasha came out running and she smiled at me. Slowly the smile turned into a frown like she doesn't want to see me, as if she hates me. I should be the one giving such expressions and not her.

"He is in the meeting" she replied.

"Do I look like I am going to give a s**t about that?"I questioned her.

"You can't use that tone on my wife"Hansh voice came from the first floor.

"Then what about that day? Why didn't you help my wife when she came looking for you."I said to Hansh.

"Your best friend"I looked at Sasha.

I can feel my anger.

"Why did you come here?" he asked.

"To settle something" I replied.

He got down and I lunged upon him which made both of us fall and I punched straight in his face.

"And this is for being an ass," I said.

He pushed me away "what the hell you want now?" He adjusted his shirt.

"You are an ass, it's because of you Srivi and my daughter are away from me. If you had helped Srivi that night, things would have been different now. You have a choice, you could have helped but you chose not to.

It was me who harmed you and not her. Why did not you reached out to her when she needed it the most? She was your friend. At least you could have helped her as a friend if not as a family.

Did you already forget? She is the first one who spoke to you, she is the first woman who became your friend. How can you do that to her?"I pushed him and he became silent.

"You" I pointed my fingers at Sasha.

"You were best friend's right? What happened to the friendship when she asked you for help? You did not even believe her words?

She always kept you ahead of her. She cared for you, always and what did you do? You broke her heart. You left her. If she was you she would have helped you. She will fight the whole world for you and you?

You did not even try to help her. It is because of you both, today I lost my family."I let out all my thoughts, my anger and now my head feels lite as if some weight has lifted down.

"Watch your mouth. what? You are blaming us for all the things that have happened because of you. come to your senses before you speak something.

If it was not for you and your Mafia, we were taught about have been alive. It was your own fault. Now don't put on a show blaming us for your mistakes and your inability of keeping your family safe.

"did not Srivi ever asked you to leave the s**t hole of Mafia? But you never cared. You yourself have caused everything. You David jake... You failed as a father, as a husband, as a son, and as a brother. you are the failure."Hansh spat.

I wish I could kill him now. But whatever he blurted out is true.

I left the place and sat on the roadside. It was me, it all happened because of me. I always avoided the truth to make myself feel better. I did a mistake. Worst of all I blamed others for my mistakes. Sri got every right to be angry with me.

Srivi's POV:

Even after three years, I could not forget anything. My love for him is still the same, the hatred is growing more and more as each day pass by. The last person I want to ever see is him. He brought back every memory of that night that I am trying to forget. It just feels like yesterday. I lost my daughter, my Arha.

I started to David's mansion. Everything started there and even ended there. The place was filled with many memories. I walked to the backside road of the mansion and sat silently on the bench. I feel like crying but nothing is going to change with me crying.

After 15 minutes and decided to go to the ice cream parlor. I am desperately in need of one. I was about to cross the busy road when two little hands wrapped around my waist.

I looked around to see a girl around five years crying while holding me tight.

"Mamma, mamma...mamma" she's crying while calling out her mother. Turned around to see her mother or any woman.

I squat down to her height and wiped her tears with my thumb "hey sweetie, are you lost?"I asked.

She just stared at me and nodded her head.

"Do you know your mother's name?"I asked and she replied by saying "mom".

I chuckled at her reply. I found a phone number written on her palm. O tried calling that number and the other person lift the call.

"Hey, there is a girl, seems like your kid is lost in the crowd. come to the ice cream parlor and collect your kid," I said.

"Thank you, I will be there in 10 minutes," she said with a panic-filled voice. Oddly the voice seemed familiar.

"Hey" I caressed her cheek.

"Up for an ice cream?"I asked.

She smiled widely. she held my hand tightly with her small tiny hands, while we were crossing the road.

This is giving me a happy and satisfying feeling. Maybe the mother inside of me is feeling happy while holding this kid.

We got into the store and ordered two choco chip ice cream. Coincidence we both like the same ice cream flavor.

Finally, she is all smiley again. Seeing her crying made me hurt emotionally.

"What is your name?"I asked.

"Licie" she replied.

"So, licie what is your mother's name?"I asked again.

"Kriti" she replied with her complete concentration is on ice cream.

Wait, what?it can't be the Kriti I know right? There is a very little possibility. Nothing to worry Sri, she can't be the Kriti you know. I tried to calm myself.

The door opened and "Licie" a voice came. Licie got down from the seat and ran towards her. "Mama" she hugged that person. I turned around to see who it was.

And there stood my best friend with complete shock written on her face.

"Kriti Nandan Steve".

"Holy s**t" I cursed under my breath.
