Tanish POV:-
I never thought that my plan would fail like this.
I planned to expose Teja's true identity in front of everyone.
I thought if her identity came out, the CEO and directors would try to take her hospital.
Also, I could use a card of my loving husband as no one knew Teja and I were divorced.
But hell, Teja had every proof to show herself right.
Also, when she announced that I didn't have any right over her now and she would marry Akaash after 15 days. I saw red.
At that time, I became so pathetic that I had to use maa's relationship with Mr. Albert in front of the reporters.
But heck, Angelina came and sorted everything out.
In frustration, I left the auditorium.
But I saw that person I was longing to see these three years.
My mother and my father.
They were looking old.
The aura around my father is still dominating.
They were looking at me with rage.
Dad came towards me and caught my collar, and I let him.
He dragged me towards another auditorium and locked the door.
Mom, dad, and I were looking at each other.
I missed them.
Dad pushed me away, and I took a few steps back because of the pressure.
Then dad came towards me again and punched me on my left cheek.
" YOU A**HOLE, YOU NEVER GOING TO CHANGE? HUH!!! " He asked and slapped my right cheek.
" I THOUGHT IN THESE THREE YEARS YOU WILL UNDERSTAND WHAT TEJA FELT WHEN SHE GOT MARRIED AND FACED THOSE THINGS.
BUT NO, YOU HAD TO MAKE ME WRONG.
TEJA WAS RIGHT ABOUT YOU.
I WAS THE ONE WHO NEVER UNDERSTOOD MY OWN SON. " Dad yelled and caught me from my collar again.
" TELL ME, TANISH! TELL ME!!!
WHY DON'T YOU LEAVE HER ALONE?
HAVEN'T YOU DONE THE ENOUGH DAMAGE THAT YOU ARE TRYING TO DO THE MORE DAMAGE AGAIN TO HER?
YOU HAVE TAKEN YOUR REVENGE ALREADY.
YOU TOOK EVERYTHING TO HER, SHE LOVED.
YOU BROKE HER TO SUCH AN EXTENT THAT IT TOOK HER THREE YEARS TO COME BACK NORMAL.
BUT STILL, SHE FELT FEAR AROUND MALES.
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA?
HOW MUCH ENERGY DID WE USE TO MAKE HER AGREE TO MARRY WITH AKAASH? " Dad said, and I looked at him wide-eyed.
" YES, I KNEW I F**KED UP!
YES, I KNEW I HURT HER TO SUCH AN EXTENT THAT IT TOOK HER WHOLE MENTAL STRENGTH TO REGAIN AND BUILD HER OWN HOSPITAL!
BUT I AM PROUD OF HER THAT DESPITE EVERYTHING, SHE ACHIEVED THIS MUCH ON HER BROKEN SELF.
I KNOW I AM A KILLER WHO KILLED HER INNOCENCE.
I KNOW I AM THE REASON FOR MAA'S DEATH.
I KNOW I AM THE REASON FOR MY CHILDREN'S DEATH.
SHE NEVER DID ANYTHING WRONG.
IT WAS ALL BECAUSE OF MY MENTALITY, WHICH WANTED TO TIE HER IN MY BED.
I HATE IT WHEN SHE REFUSES ME.
IN HER REJECTION, I FORGET TO SEE HER LOVE AND HER REASONS FOR THE REJECTIONS. " I yelled, and my parents looked at me with shock.
" You know, these three years, I was living a life as a dead man.
You both banished me from my house.
Teja left me and came here to start a new life away from me.
I had no one to talk to.
I realized how much suffocation Teja felt when I forced her to marry me and bore all my tantrums, tortures, and those bad words.
Teja couldn't say her misery to anyone.
She has a mother who loved her with all her heart.
But she can't tell her miseries to her sick mother, who was on the verge of death.
Teja had such loving in-laws. But she couldn't tell them as she respected them, and she didn't want to be the reason for the breakdown of our house.
Teja had a best friend whom she adored the most.
But she couldn't tell this to him as she feared that I would hurt him.
Also, his friend loves him, and she wanted him to forget his feelings towards her and move on.
She has a little sister. But she couldn't tell her as she knew her sister was too protective for her and could do anything for her.
Teja didn't want to destroy her sister's happy married life. " I said, and tears fell from our eyes.
I took out that dairy that I held these three years.
" You know what is this? " I asked, and they looked at the dairy carefully.
" This is Teja's dairy which she started writing after our marriage.
In this dairy, she had written everything till the day of the annual function. " I said.
" I have read every page. Her tears that socked on these pages told me the story of her suffering limit. I knew I crossed my limits in the revenge.
Every day I slept, those days came in front of my eyes, and I woke with a jerk.
I hate to admit it, but I broke her completely.
I knew she had the issues now.
She has trust issues.
She has Haphephobia because of me.
She becomes cold.
The bubbliness and the innocence in her were ruined by me.
I ruined her.
I hate myself for it.
I am living in regret these years, mom and dad. " I said and fell on my knees.
" I know I don't deserve that angel.
But I need her in my life to function.
I am ready to give her all the respect and love she deserves.
I want her love to live.
I want her forgiveness to let my burden off my shoulder.
I am even ready to kneel till she wants.
I am even ready to crawl for her forgiveness.
I love her that it hurts now. " I said while tears fell from my eyes continuously.
Mom came forward and sat on her knees.
She took the diary in her hands and gave it to dad.
She turned to me and said, " What you are feeling doesn't matter to us now, Tanish, because this regret you gain it yourself. "
I looked at her in disbelief.
" You ruined her. You are right.
You ruined an angel who came into our house and filled that house with happiness.
That angel suffered a lot in her childhood, and you made her living hell.
You didn't even know what she went through.
You didn't see her that condition when she lived her these three years.
Want to know what she made herself here? " Mom said and asked.
I looked at her in her eyes.
" She was living like a dead person until Vihaan came in her life.
She started to change after Vihaan came into her life.
You know, despite the bad people doing everything to her, she still used her skills in good work.
You, Nirbhik, Sakshi, and Srishti tried to break her.
But still, she didn't break and made herself stronger.
Today, she is living a good life with her own hard work.
Yes, she broke down too.
But that time was her weakest time.
She raised herself like a queen who doesn't need any king to live a happy life.
She doesn't need a king who needs to protect her because she knows how to protect herself and her family.
She definitely doesn't need YOU!!! " Mom stated, and I looked at her wide eyes.
" You told us. You can crawl for her.
Tanish, if you did those things before you tried to force her.
Maybe you both had a happy ending.
But you are too late no for everything.
You don't deserve anyone's forgiveness.
We will forgive you when you get forgiveness from Teja.
The most important fact is you can never get her now.
After all, Raj and I are standing in between Teja and you.
We will protect Teja from you. " Mom stated and stood on her feet.
" Let's go, Raj. We have seen enough drama. " Mom said and walked out with dad.
