Chapter 46 - DEATH OF MAHENDRA

After they return from the Maldives, they spend most of the time with family. Manish also comes and visit his son many times in these days. He somehow finds out about his son's illness, he never has happy memories with him, so now he wanted to create at least one.

To be honest, he is very proud of Mahendra, his son makes this company by himself, people tell him that he has such a great son. And his son, never pour dirty water on him. Having such a son is a blessing, it just he never cherishes it.

One fine day, he decided to confess to his son.

"Mahendra I am sorry, I know I am never a good father, but I really love you, I know you will not able to forgive me, but I hope you understand that your father loves you" Mahedndara when heard this word he doesn't know how to react.

If he is previous Mahendra then he might fight with his father, or even insult him for saying this word now, when those don't matter. But after returning from their honeymoon he visits many orphanages and also donates money to them. He sees those children who don't have anyone and know he has great life compare to them.

"It doesn't matter. I wish after my death you will take care of Reva and my mom, they both are very simple-minded people. I hope you will protect them." Mahendra replied.

"Yes," Manish said, he uses all the courage he has and gives his son a kiss on the forehead. Mahendra feels surprised due to this move, but suddenly something in his heart melted.

"And one more thing Mr. Manish" Mahendra stops his father who is running due to embarrassment.

"What Mahi?"Manish asked, whatever his son wanted him to do he will do.

"I also love you, not very much but I also love you," Mahendra said with a smile. Seeing his son smiling he remember the Mahi who is 3 or 4 years old, and whenever he came back form business trip his son always give him this smile. His heart feels sour.

Manish somehow manages to smile, but when he come outside he can't able to stop his tears, he suddenly realizes what he lost when he left his son alone.
