Chapter 11: The Confrontation
Dad Mum we need to talk to you.
Viraat come.
Maanvi you too. Sit down. What is it about?
Ma. We wanted to know why...
Yes Bitiya. Don't be scared.
Mum why are you rushing the marriage suddenly.
Well son. We are really happy to have
Maanvi as our daughter in law. And we would love to see her in this house soon. That way you too won't have to sneak out to see each other so secretively at the poolside.
But pa it was...
Maanvi . I know what you are going to say next. You are our children and we know you won't do anything wrong. But the societal point of view is different, it is not usual to have unmarried couples under the same roof.
But Dad. You were the one who taught me to be firm in each and every decision. You said that tongues will wag. It only matters if what you think is right and it is indeed right. It looks more like you don't trust...
Viraat you know well how much your papa trusts you.
But...
No buts. Why
Viraat . Have you forgotten how much papa trusted you. In fact more than anyone could and now you have questioned him. We all love
Maanvi . Everything is fine. Please stop here.
Mum we have decided. Unless we have a solid reason here why the wedding is shifted forward, we will not go on.
Vanshika raises her hand to slap
Viraat when
Maanvi moves in between. She gets the slap instead.
VANSHIKA.
Pa. it isn't Ma's fault. Ma it was wrong of me to interrupt. I am sorry. But I can't see
Viraat getting slapped.
With that
Maanvi turns and walks out.
Mum Dad I am really disappointed. I always thought you would share everything with me. But I guess I was wrong.
He then turns and follows suit, leaving Vanshika and Amar. Vanshika sits on the bed and begins weeping
How could I tell
Viraat the truth. He will die if he knew it.
But one day he has to know like you did Vanshika. But my only concern is that will you take care of
Viraat as much as I do. Ever since Shlok came, he became much more closer to you than
Viraat . Will you?
How could you ask me such a thing. They are both our sons and are the same to me.
Viraat must be very upset right.
In
Maanvi 's room,
Viraat don't feel okay. I know what you are going through. I am here with you okay.
Then why are you packing.
It isn't right for me to trespass the hospitality
But you are family now
But we aren't married
Does that make a difference in the bond we share
Viraat please
Maanvi why. Why hurt yourself and me
Viraat I gotta go but I am always yours
Maanvi
Don't worry. I can take a cab back
No I will drop you
Go and apologise first to Ma and Pa. That's more important.
No they made life like hell
Viraat please
Maanvi no
She then walks out angrily. In the hall, Jeevika was playing with Diya.
Diya see Mami is here.
Maanvi why are you holding on to your bag
Nothing Di. Just going home
Anything wrong
No just missed the place
Oh okay. Take care okay
Yes Di you too. Take care of the baby, Diya and at the same time
Viraat please.
Yes I will. Now don't you worry
Maanvi leaves the house and goes back.
