Aaradhya:The Blooming Flower

23. The harsh truth

Aakarsh ~

No matter how much I try, the truth will never change. The truth was bitter but it came out to be a poison which had ruined some part of our relationship already.

It struck me when I glanced at her pallu in a chance. She ran away from the door in a vulnerable way and I could feel that. But it was not the whole truth. Half truths are way more dangerous than the lies. Lies may harm but half truths kill us.

Inch by inch my skin felt her pain of being abandoned by her own family . This monster just didn't have any right to be a father. A father always treats their daughter as a princess, even if that father belongs from a poor family. He always gives his all to support his children. Here this evil heart is hurting my heart, my Aaru. We can fight with outsiders but never with our blood relations. Even if we die we can never harm them. But I was not his anyone so I would never forgive him. I would fight for my Aaru.

"Listen, you monster, never come in front of my Aaru. Otherwise I will cut into half and bury you under your palace. You will never get what you have come here for. So return before I become a demon. I don't have any mercy . I can torture better than giving an easy death. She heard the half truth which she shouldn't have. You already ruined a lot, don't dare to do more. But don't think I will leave you this much easily. Prepare for the worst. She has to hear the worst part of the truth from you and not me , I only regret that. Leave quietly before I change my mind ."

"I can leave but I think she will leave for you. For what I know her self esteem is much more higher than her forgiving nature. Better be convincing otherwise I doubt that she may do something that you will lose her forever. I want that. Daughters shouldn't born on this Earth and they are the bad luck for the families." His every word took away the last patience in me.

"If you don't want me to kill you here and hang your body from the roof of my palace then shut your mouth here only. I am going for now but when I return in this room again, I want you to be gone ."

I left the room and run towards ours. My heart was thumping rapidly because of what I was going to face. I couldn't see her crying. It would rip my soul apart and wash my heart with regret. But the scene infront of me shocked me.

The belongings of her , all were gone. Her trunk , her clothes which sometimes fall on the side of the couch , her comb which smell of her hairs , her sindoor and her fragrance was also gone from the room. The room seemed dead to me. Without her even my room was shrinking in hell. So how I was supposed to live.

I asked the door guards where she was and they answered that she went to her previous room.

I thought she would be crying instead she was sitting like a stone on her bed and some attendees were packing something. I couldn't grasp what was going on there .

"Aaru why are you here? You should be in my room. Why all your clothes are being packed? Where are you going?"

She kept silent and didn't even her eyes blink at any of my words.

"I am asking something Aaru. You should answer me."

"I am your slave 'Maharaj', I know that. But I can't be one. I am a princess. Even though everybody treated me like I am not one but I was never treated as a slave. I am not your slave 'Maharaj'. So I am not answerable."

"What the hell are you talking about? Have you lost all your senses. Don't judge so early. You are believing your father but not me. How Aaru? How?"

" Then tell me what I have heard there, each and every words were lies. Each and every word ate me skin by skin , ripped by heart , robbed the will of living and burnt me in an invisible anger . I even didn't know what I was hearing. I already gave yo you the chance of explaining but you ignore that. What am I supposed to do now? Tell me. What?"
