chapter 29

Days passed and Harika did what she said. She submitted the required proofs and completed all the formalities to discharge her dad. Harini stayed with him all the time and took a good care of him. Everyone noticed a great improvement in Karthik's health in those days."What's happening here Harish? How can she discharge my brother? We are his guardians right?" Gowri annoyed."Mom! Harika proved that she was his daughter by DNA test. So she took the responsibility of uncle. She has the first priority to take that, I couldn't do anything because she proceeded everything legally" Harish replied sitting near her."Daughter? How could she became my brother's daughter when her mom married someone else. I truly couldn't understand this Harish. Tell me what exactly happened?" Gowri asked with confusion."Mom, we have did a great mistake" guilt was evident in his statement. "What?" Gowri was confused."Mom, Harini never married anyone. She left the country because of someone's compulsion" Harish said making her more astonished."Who is that? Who is the reason for my brother's pathetic condition?" Gowri asked with tears."It's your mom" Raghuveer entered that room with an incredible expression. "Mom?" Gowri's eyes widened. "Yes, she is the only reason behind every tragedy happened in my son's life" he replied with deep sorrow."No dad, mom is not that kind. She is a gem, she never raised her voice either with me or Karthik. She is a sweet person. Please don't accuse her when she is no more. Her soul will get disturbed because of this false allegations.I think that Harini is planning something big. So she is doing all these things, now her daughter too joined her. They both can do anything to steal our wealth" Gowri uttered with rage."Stop it Gowri. You're supporting your mother because you too have some of her characters. She thought Harini will not suit our family because she is an orphan, also she was upset with your marriage.Everytime she insisted me to see a best match for Karthik unless you. She always thought that money brings peace and she thought that as a pride.She was not ready to accept someone from a very poor background. First she thought that I'll not accept their relationship but I accepted him after knowing about his sincerity in that relationship.That made your mom think evil and she traveled to Bangalore to threat Harini to leave the country. That poor girl did so, now you did the same thing to her daughter what your mom did to her.I was completely shattered when I came to know about what happened between Harish and Harika. You did a great sin Harish, even I couldn't forgive you for this act. You have played with her emotions and you betrayed her. No one can accept this act" Raghuveer was worried.Harish already realised all those things which his grandfather said. He has committed a great sin, he should also face the consequences. Gowri was completely broken hearing her father's statement."I was the one who committed all these mistakes dad. I'm the one who spoilt my son's life" she cried."No mom, it's my mistake. I should have investigated this keenly before coming for any conclusion. But I failed, if I did that in the past, my uncle might gained his conscious and he would have lived a happy life with his loved one. But I punished him and his family members so far.Karthik uncle mentioned that they both decided to name their child as Harika in that diary. I read that, but I thought she named her in his memories but never imagined that Harika was his daughter. I tore that particular page from that diary before giving that to Harika but I failed to recognise that she would be his daughter" Harish said whatever he had in his mind.Gowri sat there with tears. She realised what she did was an unforgivable sin. "Your mom shattered my Son's life. Now you both betrayed my grand daughter. Now it's very clear that I'll never have my son in my life again. Never in my dreams, I imagined you doing all these evil act Gowri. You disappointed me, also you Harish. You both commited a great mistake, which you'll be punished for the rest of your life" his tone clearly indicated his frustration and he left the place immediately."How could my mom do that for Harini. Atleast she should opened up about this when she saw Karthik in that pathetic state. But she stayed calm and now everything was collapsed" Gowri disheartened."Mom! We too did the same thing. So we just can't blame grandma" Harish uttered sadly and left that place."Why? How could I do this to a small girl. Why I thought to punish the small girl for the sin her mom committed. What was wrong with me that time?" She mentally admonished herself..."Harika, was everything ready?When we're vacating this room?" Harini asked when Harika entered the room. "Mom, everything is ready, only few formalities left in hospital procedure. Most probably it will get completed by end of the day. So tomorrow let's vacate this room and I have already booked the flight tickets for three of us" she replied with joy.Harini smiled and they both reached the hospital in next half an hour. "Harini! Why did you left me alone?" Karthik uttered sadly when he met her in his room."I went to purchase few things for you Karthik. You know what, we are going to leave this place permanently. We are going to stay in our home peacefully. There I'll not leave you alone even for a minute" she said kissing his forehead.His face glowed up with happiness hearing her words. Really he felt to leave that place as soon as possible.Harika entered the room with hesitation. Karthik gazed her face with a smile. Both Harika and Harini was surprised seeing his smile."Harini, she had your photo in her box" he said and Harika remembered that day, when he tried to attack her. Now she realised that seeing her mom's photo in her mobile phone gave him a hope that Harika will bring his Harini back and that was the reason why he was calm only around Harika in the past.She felt immense pleasure witnessing his unconditional love to her mom. She smiled with happy tears."You are right Karthik, she is Harika" Harini said and that brought a different expression on his face."Harika?" He looked at Harini with confusion and Harini felt happy that he is slowly gaining his memories."Harini, I heard this name somewhere. Do you remember that?" He asked looking at her face. "How could I forget that Karthik! Those were the most beautiful days of our life when you showed me how much love me. Harini+Karthik... Hari Ka.... Harika, we decided to name our baby as Harika if it is girl and Harthik if it's boy" she replied with a sweet smile on her face.Karthik's eyes filled with tears. Something flashed in his mind which made him difficult to breathe. He fall on the ground holding his head. Harika rushed near him and checked his pulse. She injected a medicine and made him lie on the bed."What happened Harika?" Harini enquired worriedly. "Nothing serious mom. He will face this everytime when he remembered about his past life. These are the signs showing his quick recovery" she replied with a smile making her happy."Harika! I heard everything that happened in your life" Varsha said with concern. "No worries Varsha. It's a lesson and betrayal is also a part of the life. I'm happy that my parents were united after a several years. This is enough for me.I understood that we should loose one thing to gain something else. Here I lost my love to gain back my parents happiness. So I'm very happy than before" She replied heartily."If you don't mistake me, shall I ask you something?" She asked with hesitation. Harika nodded and asked her to proceed."Will you forgive Harish if he realised his mistake or you wish to take revenge?" She asked. Harika smiled hearing her words."I'll neither forgive him nor take revenge because he is no one to me and I'm not going to meet him in my life forever. I have already ended up all my bonding with him and this place. I'm leaving this country and gonna start a new happy life with my family" she replied with a beautiful smile on her face where Varsha couldn't spot any vengeance or sorrow.Her face looked as cool as her words. Varsha gazed her face with an astonishment. She truly liked that sportive nature of Harika."The need for revenge was like a rat gnawing at his soul, relentless, unceasing, it could only be stopped by the cold steel of a rat trap, a trap he would devise himself. His need for revenge was like an abscess on the skin of the soul that could only be cured by the cruel sharp steel point of revenge. Festering like a septic wound, and the only effective antibiotic is cold hard revenge. Savage. Spiteful. A dish best served cold. Unforgiving. He would bare a grudge until he died or took revenge, whichever came first. Settling old scores. Brutal. Callous. Satisfying. Empty. Pointless. Excessive. Mean spirited. It appealed to his twisted and dark sense of humour"Hi dear friends,Twenty eighth chapter of "Miracle of my life" is updated. Do read and give me your views on this story ♥️
