chapter 27

"Mom!" She couldn't frame any sentence, she was completely broken. She cried her heart out hugging Harini. She let her pour all her worries out. Harika cried for more than an hour. Later she washed her face and took a deep breath to calm her down."Ma, I don't care about anyone who took my love as granted and played with my emotions. But at the same time I know you ma, I know who my mom is. She is a down to earth person but not a cheater.Tell me mom, please tell what happened exactly. I know something pushed you to take that decision. What's that mom? Please tell me" Harika asked holding her hand."Everything happened beyond my imagination Harika. I thought to get you married to your love. I thought my daughter should never face the same situation which I faced in my life. That's the reason I worked hard and raised our financial position but now everything shattered into pieces. Maybe God is not satisfied with the punishment I gone through in my life. He is punishing me more for the sin I committed" Harini cried making her confused."What's the sin mom? What happened in your life?" She asked,"I shouldn't have left your father that day Harika. I should have told him about you but I ignored him and left his life permanently not having any other thoughts. Because of that, he lost his happiness and he lost his life" Harini cried closing her face."Mom please don't cry. Let's talk with dad, tell me where he lives? I'll console him and bring him back. Don't worry about anything mom, everything will be fine soon. But before that place tell me the exact reason for your breakup with Karthik. What happened between you? Why did you left him suddenly?" She asked hoping to get her answer.Harini's PoVYou know what Harika, I haven't married anyone once after I left Karthik. Whatever I said to him were the script given by his mother and Karthik is your dad" Harika's heart skipped it's beat hearing her words. She never imagined that Karthik would be her father. She looked her with a wide eyes."Yes Harika! That was the happiest day of my life. That was the day, doctor confirmed that I was two weeks pregnant. Your dad visited his parents home to get permission for our marriage and his phone call made me realised that everything was okay there.I happily waited for him but that day I met his mom. She visited our home and I welcomed her wholeheartedly. Karthik always praise his mom and I understood she was the most important person in his life. He was afraid about his father's reaction but I realised he got his permission too.When I was in my deep thought, his mom interrupted. "Look! I'm here to warn you" her serious tone astonished me. I looked her with puzzled expression."Harini, forget about my son. You shouldn't see him hereafter. I know you both love eachother but if you truly love him, you should leave him permanently" she said looking into my eyes."Why don't you say this with your son. If he can leave me, then I too will agree with his decision. Better talk with your son and convince him to break this relationship. I can't do this" I replied crossing my arms but what she did next shaked my heart.She suddenly hugged my feet and started crying. "Aunty please don't do this. Please get up aunty" I calmed her."Only your decision can save his life ma. You doesn't know about my relatives and husband. For them their status is most important thing than anything else. They will go to any extent. Either they will kill you or they will never hesitate to kill my son.I have witnessed several things like this ma. I beg you, please leave my son. It will save both of your life. I'll help you to get a better future. But don't kill my son in the name of love.I already realised that my husband is planning to kill you. I know about my son, he is madly in love with you. If he came to know that my husband killed you, I'm sure he will kill himself.I don't want either of you loose your life. I want both of you to live a happy life. There is only one way to achieve that. Please tell him whatever I say to you, he will hate you and move out from this relationship.Later I'll make him understand and marry someone my husband choose for him. At the same time, I'll arrange a good job for you and will help you to get settled in your life.If you do so, both of your life will be saved. Please consider this" she begged me and that brought thunderstorm in my heart. I never thought my happiness will drain like this at the end of the day but at the same time, I don't want anything bad happens to him because of me.So I decided to take to take that fateful decision which I'm regretting till now. I talked with him like whatever his mom asked me to speak and left his home but he never left me and came back begging me to stay with him.I hurt him abruptly and I broken his heart several times before leaving this country. After that I never heard anything about him. I avoided any contact from India and worked hard independently to brought up you as a successful kid.I know he will never be back in my life. I thought he might got married to someone else as his mother said. You was the only memory of our beautiful love journey. But all your actions remembered his actions, so I avoided meeting you and stayed alone leaving you with a caretaker. As a mother I failed to protect my child staying near her.When you said about Harish, one side I was happy but at the same time, I afraid what will happen if something happens between you. That was the reason, I interacted with him and his behaviour truly impressed me. Within a very short time, he completely understood you and took care of you like a mother. He understood your wish and made me understand my mistake.His efforts to make you happy was very true and that made me believe his love for you. Everything went smooth until you talked about Karthik.When you first said his name, I had a strange fear that what would I do if it was him, later I consoled myself telling that he will be happy somewhere in this world.Later you said about his story and that confirmed that he is my Karthik. I realised, I was the sole reason for his state. I never thought he will be in this pathetic situation. I'm facing hell from the moment I learnt this truth.On the other hand your life also seemed more important to me. So I decided to talk about your marriage with Harish. But now I understood, he already know about your identity and he planned to make you fall in his love trap. Now I became the reason for my daughter's miserable condition too" Harini cried hugging Harika. Harika's eyes were pooled with tears. She understood the pain her mom gone through all these years.She strongly decided to end all her sorrows. "Mom! You might have gone through several struggles in your life but from now, I'm promissing you, you are going to gain all the happiness you lost in your life" Harika said pressing her palm strongly."I want to see you happy my dear. That will be my only happiness. I should make Harish understand this and..." Harika stopped her before she complete her sentence."Never talk about that cheater anymore. He never loved me mom, he just used me you take his revenge. True man will never play with a girl's emotions. He is no one to me and I'm not going to think about him anymore.I never felt betrayal in his behaviour because he never loved me. I was a fool who couldn't find difference between love and a fake concern. So mom, never bring his name again in my life" she replied sternly making her eyes widen."We cultivate love when we allow our most vulnerable and powerful selves to be deeply seen and known, and when we honor the spiritual connection that grows from that offering with trust, respect, kindness and affection.Love is not something we give or get; it is something that we nurture and grow, a connection that can only be cultivated between two people when it exists within each one of them – we can only love others as much as we love ourselves.Shame, blame, disrespect, betrayal, and the withholding of affection damage the roots from which love grows. Love can only survive these injuries if they are acknowledged, healed and rare"..Hi dear friends,Twenty sixth chapter of "Miracle of my life" is updated.
