When Amit rang the bell, the house helped opened the door. As he was guided to the main hall, he felt like outsider. The posh atmosphere of house made him feel out of place. He regretted coming here. He hesitantly sat on plush sofa when the helper said that his mother in law would come to see him in few minutes.
He tapped his feet on the floor to overcome his restlessness. What was he going to say? He didn't seem to find the words. He was nervous about what his mother in law would say or ask. He felt miserable to break her daughter's heart. "Would she accuse me of mistreating her daughter?", he wondered.
He gulped when he saw her. She was smiling at him. There was no sign of accusation expression on her face. That confused him. He got up and touched her feet as token of respect. She gently brushed his hair and said, "You don't need to do this formality. You are like my son." He rose back to normal stature. "I am sorry for whatever I have caused to Dina, you and Dad.", he said.
Mother smiled and said, " You haven't done anything bad. Yes, you have caused unnecessary pain to Dina and yourself. But other than that there are no complaints from my side." He smiled weakly at her and said,"Where is Dina?", he asked softly. "Oh I was waiting for this day. You are here to take her? ", she said not answering his question and expressing her happiness.
"Yes. I am here to take her as well as apologize for whatever I have done to her. But where is she?", he asked. "Oh dear! I completely forgot. She headed towards your place to meet you.", she replied. He stared at her for few minutes. Then he ran towards the car without saying anything to his mother in law.
He drove as fast as he could toward home. He missed few signals, almost got caught by traffic police and almost collided with another vehicle. He didn't stop until he reached where he should be.
