Ram stood in front of the police station. Tapping his feet constantly, he couldn't help but feel heavy. When he was talking about bailing out Meera to Priya, everything seemed very simple but now that he was there, he began to feel agitated. He asked his driver Suresh for a bottle of water and had his pill. Rubbing his forehead a few times he imagined how happy Maitri would be to see her mother and after taking a deep breath, he finally decided to enter but just then his phone rang. He picked it up instantly seeing that it was Priya.
Ram: Priya? Tum thik ho na?
Priya: Haan. Main thik hoon. Aap pohoch gaye kya?
Ram: Haan. Abhi. Bass andar jaa hi raha tha.
Priya: Oh. Umm...thik hai.
Ram(feeling concerned): Tum thik ho na sach mein? Main jaun kya?
Priya: Nahi nahi. Main thik hoon. Maine bass yeh poochne ke liye call kiya tha ke aap pohoche ya nahi.
Ram: Ohh. Hmm.
Ram could sense that Priya was concerned for him.
Ram: Priya main thik hoon.
He could hear her soft sigh over the phone.
Ram: Main aa jayunga jaldi okay?
Priya: Hmm.
Ram: Aur kuch bolna tha tumhe?
Priya stayed quiet for a couple of seconds.
Priya: Umm...suniye...aate waqt mere liye ek chocolate la sakte hain?
Ram(with a smile): Bass ek?
Priya: Hmm.
Ram: Thik hai. Aur kuch?
Priya: Nahi.
Ram: Okay. Toh main rakkhun?
Priya: Hmm...bye.
Ram: Bye.
Ram cut the call with a bright smile. His wife just knew how to make him crazy for her with these cute antics. He knew that it was her way of telling him that she was there for him. It was the same thing that she did before when she demanded for a handbag. At that moment he wanted to run back to her and pull her cheeks. He shook his head with a smile and walked towards the entrance of the police station.
Upon entering, he felt a familiar throbbing pain in his chest. 5 years ago, he entered that area with so much hope in him but when he left, his heart was completely broken. He remembered how Priya lied to him and how strongly she said that she loved Krish and that she didn't want to have any contacts with him. He thought she did it out of her love for Krish but 5 years later he understood that it was was to protect their little one. Shaking his head, he tried his best to shoo away those disturbing thoughts.
"Ram?", He heard someone calling, taking him out of his traumatic memories. Ram turned his head to see where the voice was coming from and saw Sara coming towards him.
Sara stood in front of him in a rather awkward way. She didn't know how to express her feelings. Her son was the reason of Ram's sister's death, her father and her ex-husband killed Ram's father, and her mother lied to him and kept being an obstruction in the case of his father's death.
Ram was quite shocked to see her there.
Ram: Sara di aap?
Sara couldn't meet his eyes and kept focusing her eyes on the floor.
Sara: Haan woh...Sandy...Sandy ne bataya...mujhe. Toh...umm..mujhe laga...ke mujhe aana chahiye.
Ram: Oh...sab thik hai na Sara di?
Sara nodded silently.
Sara(looking up at Ram): Ram...mujhe nahi pata main kaise aap se maafi maangu.
Ram: Sara di please...jaane do. Jo hua hogaya...hum usse change nahi kar sakte.
Sara looked at Ram helplessly and gently nodded.
Sara: Aap ne achanak yeh decision liya...sab thik hai na?
Giving a nod, Ram told Sara why he decided to bail Meera out. Sara nodded. Ram checked his watch and saw that he reached early. So he decided to meet Meera before the Lawyer comes.
Ram(clearing his throat): Main...mil...aata hoon unse. Aap chalengi?
Sara thought it would be best if she waited there only and let Ram talk to Meera alone.
Sara: Nahi aap jaiye. Main yeh hi wait karti hoon. Main parso milne aayi thi unse.
Ram(with a nod): Thik hai.
Ram made sure that Sara was comfortable there and then went to talk to the IC. After having the permission, a constable walked him towards the cell where Meera was.
Ram stood before the bars and saw Meera sitting on a narrow, wooden bedstead with her eyes closed. He waited for several seconds but noticing that Meera wasn't opening her eyes, he cleared his throat.
In an instant Meera opened her eyes and was shocked to see Ram there. With a deep frown she walked up to him.
Meera: Ram aap? Yahan?
Ram listened to her but couldn't reply as his mind couldn't comprehend how tired she looked. Her swollen eyes, dark circles, and white saree made her look awful. Ram was used to her in sarees or salwar suits, with a bindi on her forehead but today how she looked scared him.
Ram's blank face tensed Meera. She couldn't understand why he came to meet her after she hurt him so much? Was Priya okay? Was Pihu okay? These questions kept swirling in her mind.
Meera: Ram?
She again called and this time Ram's eyes met hers and she saw tears in the corner of his eyes.
Meera: Aap yahan? Priya thik hai na? Pihu?
Ram shook his head, making Meera scared to death.
Ram: Priya...umm...hospital mein hai. Galti se...paneer kha liya tha usne.
Tears pooled in Meera's eyes, thinking that her daughter's suffering still didn't cease to exist. She had already been through so much, the people whom she loved the most had given her pain mostly.
Meera(in broken voice): Thik...hai na meri bachhi?
Ram silently nodded, looking into her eyes. He had thought that he would go, bail her out, ask her why she did what she did and go back to his Priya. But now that Meera was standing in front of him, he couldn't bring himself to talk to her. It didn't feel like an easy task.
Meera also didn't know how to talk to Ram after hurting him so much. Her guilt was already eating her up. All these years she felt ashamed of her deed. She broke the trust Ram put in her from the beginning of their relationship. Although she thought of him as a son instead of the son-in-law, she chose to betray him when he needed her the most and her priorities laid to protecting her elder daughter's family even though she knew Varun was murderer.
Ram took two steps back, running his fingers through his hair anxiously.
Ram(murmuring to himself): Maine socha tha yeh asaan hoga. Par hai nahi.
Meera heard Ram saying something under his breath but didn't't really understand what he was saying. But she couldn't hold herself anymore, seeing him getting so restless.
Meera: Ram bete aap thik hain na?
Ram felt a sharp pain, like someone pinched a needle deeply in his heart.
Ram(closing his eyes, sharply): Nahi! Beta mat bulaiye aap mujhe. Sehen nahi hota mujhse.
Soon Ram felt tears clouding his vision. He began to feel overwhelmed, he needed Priya beside him to support him. Instinctively, he touched his engagement ring and rotated it a few times to calm down his nerves. He remembered Priya's cute, little chuckle on their engagement which always made him happy.
Meera lowered her head down listening to him. She didn't know how to apologise to him. She could see how disturbed he felt in front of her.
Ram(clearing his throat): Main...aapko bail...karane...aaya hoon.
If Ram's arrival was not enough of a shock to Meera already, then him coming to bail her out was completely a different kind of shock.
Meera(confusingly): Haan?
Ram nodded, finally gathering the strength to look into her eyes.
Ram: Maitri ko aapki zaroorat hai. Isiliye main aaya hoon.
Meera: Maitri thik hai na?
Ram: Ji. Woh aapko aap ne paas chahti hai.
Meera: Ram mujhe koi takleef nahi iss saza se. Main phir bhi kabhi uss dard ki bharpayi nahi kar payungi, jo maine aapko...
Meera couldn't say it anymore. Her guilt overwhelmed her seeing Ram's pain-striken eyes.
Ram opened his mouth to say but closed it immediately and left from there with tears brimming in his eyes. He didn't want to become vulnerable in front of Meera. His heart didn't allow him to do it.
Taking a minute to calm down his emotions which were all over the place, Ram took some deep breaths and went back to Sara who was sitting on a bench with her head in between her hands. Ram also sat down beside her.
Sara looked at Ram and noticed how reddish his face looked.
Sara: Ram? Aap thik hain na?
Ram: Sara di kya hum do minute chup chap baith sakte hain? Please.
Sara nodded and sat there silently. She took out a water bottle from her bag and kept it between her and Ram. A couple of minutes later she heard him picking up the bottle and gulp down some water.
A few minutes later Ram saw the Lawyer entering. He walked towards him and shook hands. He then gestured Sara to sit there and that he would take care of everything. Sara nodded, wondering how hard he would have been for him actually than he was letting the world to see.
Soon all the required proceedings were done. A constable came there with Meera and her belongings. Sara went towards Meera and hugged her but Meera's eyes were fixed on Ram who sat there with his head down.
After the Lawyer left, Ram looked at Sara and Meera who were standing a little far away.
Sara: Ram aap wait karenge?
Ram silently nodded.
Ram: Main bahar hoon.
Sara: Thik hai.
Meera then changed into her clothes and Sara took her outside. Meera still couldn't believe that she was out of jail and she could go home now. And it was all because of Ram.
Sara and Meera saw Ram leaning against his car, waiting for them. They both walked towards him. Ram let out a sigh as soon as his eyes fell on them.
Ram: Woh jo Black gaadi khadi hai aap dono ko ghar pohochane ke liye hai.
Sara: Ram iski koi zaroorat nahi hai. Main manage kar leti.
Ram: Mujhe pata hai aap manage kar lengi Sara di but I insist.
Sara(softly): Ram...mujhe pata hai thank you bohot chote shabd hai aapne jo hamare liye kiya uske liye...par phir bhi...thank you. Ishaan ke liye aapne jo kiya...hum sab ke liye jo kiya sab kuch ke liye thank you.
Ram nodded with a small smile.
Sara: Shayad hamare beech jo bhi hua main usse badal sakti Ram. Main aapko hurt karna nahi chahti thi.
Ram didn't know what to say to Sara.
Ram(looking at Meera): Maitri se baat kar lijega. Bohot pareshan thi.
Meera was silently looking at Ram. She still couldn't believe everything that happened in an hour.
Ram(taking a deep breath): Meera aunty... mujhe aapse maafi maangni thi. Priya ke liye.
Meera: Nahi Ram aap...
But Ram stopped her.
Ram: Nahi please mujhe bolne dije. Apne mujhpe bharosa karke Priya ki shaadi mujhse karwayi thi, maine aapse waada bhi kiya tha ke main uska poora dhyaan rakkhunga par main toh waada nahi nibha paata. (With teary eyes) Meri laparwahi, meri zidd ki wajah se Priya ko itna kuch sehna pada, akele Pihu ki parvarish karni padi...main usse protect nahi kar paaya. Aap maa hain...Priya ki toh isliye mujhe aapse maafi maangni hai. I'm sorry. Main jaan bujhke Priya ko kabhi hurt karna nahi chahta tha. Toh ho sake toh mujhe maaf kar dijega.
Tears trickled down Meera's eyes. She shook her head feeling guilty of her own actions that led to Ram Priya's separation.
Meera: Ram aap maafi mat maangiye, maafi toh mujhe maangni chahiye aap se, aur Priya se. Maine kabhi nahi socha tha ke Aisa kuch ho jayega....maine toh Ishaan ke baare mein sochke woh kiya tha.
Ram couldn't help but ask Meera what he wanted to ask her for 5 years.
Ram: Toh aapko isse koi farq nahi padta ke Varun ek khooni hai? Aap yeh chahti thi ke woh Sara di aur Ishaan ke saath rahe?
Meera: Ram mera bharosa kije, maine itna kuch nahi socha tha. Ishaan bachha tha, woh nahi samajhta.
Ram(tears rolling down his head): Toh aap ne ek khooni ko bhaga diya jisne mujhse mere Dad ko chinn liya? Maine Mumma ko toh bohot choti umer mein khoya hai aur uski aur Mahendra Sood ki wajah se maine Dad ko bhi kho diya. Aapko kya pata ke mujhpe kya guzri....aapko jo karna tha woh aapne kiya.
Meera: Ram main samajh sakti hoon.
Ram(shaking his head): Nahi. Aap nahi samajh sakti. Aapne koshish bhi nahi ki mujhe samajhne ki nahi toh aapke saamne katraate huye main aaya tha ke Meera maa mujhe please bata dije ke Varun kahan hai par aapne kuch nahi kaha. Aap mujhe yeh bata sakti thi ke aap ne jhoothi gawahi di thi, par woh bhi aap ne mujhe nahi batayi. Aap bataiye...kaise karoon main bharosa aap pe?
Meera kept listening to Ram had to say to her.
Ram: Aap meri madat kar sakti thi Dad ko justice dilaane mein, par aapne woh nahi kiya. Aapne mujhse itni badi baat chipaayi, investigation mein rukawate paida ki....meri kya galti thi ismein? Ke aapko mere saath yeh karna pada? Main aapko bohot maanta tha, aapki bohot care karta tha...mere pyaar mein koi milawat nahi thi.
Meera(with tears in her eyes): Main darr gayi thi. Maine socha tha jab aapko yeh pata chalega ke shayad Mr. Sood ne aapke Pita ki jaan li hai, toh aap Priya ko chorh denge. Priya ki ismein koi galti nahi par phir bhi asaan nahi hai yeh manna ke aapke biwi ke Pita ne...maine kabhi Priya ko yeh baat nahi batayi. Par sach mein main nahi chahti thi ke Priya aur aapke rishte mein koi daraar aaye. Main galat thi. Aapki galti nahi b...Ram. Meri galti hai. Main ek achhi maa nahi bann paayi. Nahi Priya ke liye, aur nahi aap ke liye. Aur mujhe iss baat ka bohot pachtava hai. Main kabhi nahi chahti thi ke mere baccho ko koi nuksan pohoche par ek beti ka Ghar sambhalne ke chakkar mein main yeh galti kar baithi. Ho sake toh mujhe maaf kar dijega. Main kabhi nahi chahti thi ke aap ko dukh pohoche.
Ram(sadly): Maine kabhi nahi socha tha ke aap mujhe aise dhoka dengi....khair choriye mujhe aur baatein nahi badhani hai. Aap ko Ghar jaana chahiye. Sara di...
Sara nodded.
Sara: Maa chalo Ghar. Ram ko Priya ke paas jaana hai. Usse jaane dije.
Meera: Main mil sakti hoon Priya se?
Ram looked at Sara, asking for help. Sara again nodded.
Sara: Maa abhi Ghar chalo. Priya se baad mein mil lena. Woh thik hai. Kal Ghar chali jayegi.
Meera: Par...
Sara: Par war kuch nahi aap Ghar chalo. Ram hum aate hain. Aap apna khayal rakhna.
Ram nodded.
Sara was pulling Meera when she stopped her.
Meera: Ek minute Sara...(with a teary smile) Ram main aapke achhaiyon ke kabil nahi hoon. Par yeh dua zaroor karungi ke yeh jo paanch saal aapne khoye hain, jitna dukh aapne saaha hai, usse dugni khushi bhagwan aapko de. Aur haan shukriya aap ne jo aaj mere liye kiya uske liye. Main aati hoon. Khush rahiyega aur Priya ko bataiyega ke main usse baat karna chahti hoon, agar woh chahe toh. Aur Pihu ko meri taraf se dher saara pyaar.
Ram nodded with a small smile and saw Sara and Meera to walk towards the car. He let out a sense of relief. He understood that it was not possible for him to forgive Meera right now as he thought so. But he wanted to be open to it. He wanted that weight of grudge off his chest. But for now he felt a little light headed after saying what he kept inside of him for so long.
But suddenly Priya's words rang in his ears, "Kya karoon Ram? Aapke jaisi nahi bann sakti na...ke gusse mein care karna bhi bhul jaun".
He then left a text for Sara..."Main ek doctor bhej raha hoon. Dikha lijega unhe. Kuch problem ho toh bataiyega mujhe."
With a small smile, he then sat in his car, thinking how his wife wanted him to bring her a chocolate. He told Suresh to start driving towards the hospital.
. . . . . . . . .
Twinkle was sitting there beside Priya, waiting for her to cool down a little.
Twinkle: Priya Krish tere liye concerned hai. Isliye shayad ho gaya.
Priya: Aise kaise Twinkle? Mujhe pata hai ke woh concerned hai. Par woh aise baat nahi kar sakta Mr. Kapoor se. That was really insensitive. Pata hai mujhe ke woh unhe pasand nahi karta aur mujhe aise hospital mein dekhke usse aur gussa aaya par iska matlab yeh nahi ke woh aise baat kar sakta hai. People's words hurt Twinkle. Aur mujhe yeh achhe se pata hai.
Twinkle understood where Priya's anger was coming from. But she needed to divert her thoughts to make her feel less stressed. She knew that Priya trusted Ram more than herself and it would be futile for her if she also tried to say anything against Ram.
Twinkle: Achha thik hai. Krish ke baare mein abhi baat nahi karte. Okay? Tu bata how are you?
Priya looked all around her and turned towards Twinkle again.
Twinkle: Arey hospital ki baat nahi kar rahi. I meant how are you mentally? Everything okay with your Mr. Kapoor?
Priya frowned deeply.
Priya: Tu unhe Mr. Kapoor mat bula. Kuch aur bula.
Twinkle(with a chuckle): Kyun? Sirf tera haq hai?
Priya(blushing a little): Nahi aisa nahi. Mar tu mat bula.
Twinkle: Fineee! Ji-ja-ji...khush? Tere na Priya kuch alag hi baat hai. Achha jo main pooch rahi thi. Is everything all right?
Priya(nodding): I think so. Dekh 5 saal mein bohot kuch badal gaya hai. Hume thoda waqt lagega sab kuch pehle jaisa hone mein. (Sadly) Mujhe pata bhi nahi ke sab pehle jaisa kabhi hoga bhi ya nahi.
Twinkle: Uske liye toh thoda waqt tum dono ko akele mein bitana hoga na baba. Ek kaam kar Pihu ko mere paas bhej dena kabhi kabhi. Mujhe aur Ayush ko bhi achha lagega uske saath time spend karne mein aur tum dono ko bhi time milega.
Priya: Tujhe problem hogi Twinkle. Aisa nahi hota. Pihu abhi iss age mein hai ke woh khud confuse ho jaati hai ke usse kab meri zaroorat hai aur kab nahi. Abhi dekh ek bhi phone aaya kya Brinda se? Nahi. Usse wahan achha lagg raha hai. Abhi agar usko meri yaad aane lagi toh royegi phir jab tak koi usse yahan nahi laata, she won't stop.
Twinkle(smiling): Woh sab toh thik hai par Pihu ko bhi toh ek bhai ya behen chahiye na uske saath khelne ke liye, pyaar karne ke liye, jhagda karne ke liye?
Priya(widening her eyes): Twinkle!
Twinkle: Kya? Tujhe nahi chahiye ek aur bachha?
Priya lowered her head thinking about the night when she thought Ram was talking about a second baby but actually he wanted a puppy. So now she didn't have any idea about his wishes. Did he want another child?
Priya felt a gentle nudge from Twinkle.
Twinkle: Oye...
Priya(sighing): Pata nahi Twinkle.
Twinkle: Sochke dekhna.
Priya(narrowing her eyes): Ek second....meri toh phir bhi ek beti hai. Tu apni baat kar.
Twinkle: Ayush toh loves kids. He can't wait to be a father. Mujhe thoda time chahiye tha. Let's see. Isiliye toh bol rahi hoon aur ke Pihu ko mere paas rehne de. Meri bhi practice ho jayegi and she'll have fun with me. (Suddenly excited) Ayeeee Priyaaaaaaa! Soch na agar tu aur main similar time mein pregnant ho toh kya baat hogi! Hamare bachhe bhi best friends honge.
Priya didn't want to burst her bubble. Twinkle's sparkling eyes made her shake her head with a smile.
Priya: Tu aur tere ideas...
. . . . . . . . . .
Sandy was pacing in the corridor, biting her nails. She knew that Ram would be upset with her because of her slip of tongue. She was mentally preparing herself for a scolding session.
Some minutes later she saw Ram walking towards her.
Sandy: All okay?
Ram(with a nod): Thank you tune Sara di ko bheja. (Giving her a chocolate) Yeh le.
Sandy accepted the chocolate with a forced smile.
Ram: Priya thik hai na?
Sandy: Woh...haan thik toh hai. Par mujhse...ek galti ho gayi.
Ram(with a frown): Kya?
Sandy: Woh...ummm...
Sandy told Ram what happened after he left and how Priya and Krish had a fight. Ram's eyes widened in shock. He never thought things would take a turn like this in such short span of time.
Ram(feeling stressed): Not done yaar Sandy! Chocolate wapas de meri!
Seeing that Sandy was forwarding the chocolate back with a pout, he let out a deep breath.
Ram: Ufff! Rakh isse apne paas. Jab maine socha ke finally main thodi chain ki saans le sakta hoon ab yeh. Ab Priya isko lekar stress hogi, usko leke mujhe stress hoga, aur phir hume dekhke Pihu ko stress hoga.
Sandy: I'm sorry. Maine jaan bujhke nahi kiya.
Ram: Of course tune jaan bujhke nahi kiya. Mujhe pata hai. Par ab kya karoon main? Yeh bata de.
Sandy kept staring at him cluelessly.
Ram: Achha hai. Ab nahi pata ke kaise sambhalun. Mere dimaag ko na rest ki zaroorat hai. Tu Ghar ja aur so le thoda.
Sandy: Nahi thik hoon main.
Ram: Sandy baat sunn meri Ghar jaake rest lele. Waise bhi Tarun aata hi hoga. I can manage.
Sandy: Pakka?
Ram nodded with a assuring smile.
Sandy: Aap thik ho na?
Ram: Haan baba main thik hoon.
Sandy: Sorry.
Ram: It's okay Sandy. Jo jaata hai I know. I hope thik ho jaaye sab.
Sandy nodded.
Ram: Chal aa mere saath.
Ram knocked on the door and they entered the room. Priya was talking with Twinkle and they both were smiling. That made Ram feel a little relieved.
Priya's smile widened as soon as her eyes fell on Ram. His eyes told her that everything went just fine and she was glad that at least he didn't look heartbroken.
Ram walked up to them and handed a chocolates to Priya and Twinkle both.
Twinkle: Thank you.
Priya(feeling concerned): Sab thik hai na?
Ram nodded with a smile.
Ram: Sab thik hai aur maine Sandy ko bola ke Ghar jaake rest le. Subah se yahan hai.
Priya: Maine bhi kitni baar kaha sune nahi isne.
Ram(with a smirk): Haan kyunki Sandy meri baat sunti hai. Main uska favourite hoon, tum nahi. (Looking at Sandy) Haina?
Sandy did a fist-bump with Ram, making Priya glare at Sandy.
Priya: Dhokhebaaz.
Sandy(pulling Priya's cheek): Awww...aise muh fulaake badi cute lagti ho aap.
Priya made a face to Sandy who chuckled.
Sandy(giving a side hug to Priya): Thik hai main chalti hoon phir. Aap dhyaan rakhna haan? Aur doctor ki baat sunna.
Priya nodded with a smile.
Twinkle: Main bhi chalti hoon. Sandy ke saath chali jaungi.
Twinkle also gave Priya a hug.
Twinkle: Dawaiyaan thik se lena aur khayal rakhna okay? Main Ghar pe milne jayungi.
Priya: Take care Twinkle.
Ram: Sandy Suresh hai niche...usse bol de woh chorh dega tum dono ko Ghar.
Sandy: Thik hai. Aao Twinkle di.
Sandy and Twinkle both waved at Ram and Priya and left for home.
Priya kept looking at Ram with a very concerned look on her face.
Priya: Aap thik hai na?
Ram: Haan thik hoon Priya. Sandy ne Sara di ko bheja tha. Everything went smoothly. Sab thik hai.
Ram had decided to withhold any information of how difficult it was for him because he didn't want Priya to feel bad.
Priya nodded.
Priya: Mere baare mein poocha?
Ram: Of course. Baat karna chahti thi tumse. Soch ke dekhna. Koi force nahi kar raha tumhe.
Priya let out a deep breath and began to tear the wrapper of the chocolate and took a bite.
Priya: Thank you for this.
As Priya forwarded the chocolate to Ram, he took a bite from where Priya ate, making her smile.
Ram let Priya take another bite but then stopped her.
Ram: Abhi rehne do. Tarun aata hoga hamara lunch leke.
Priya scrunched her nose listening to the word 'lunch'.
Priya: Mujhe nahi khaana. Bhookh nahi lagi mujhe.
Ram: Arey aise kaise! Woh kabka thoda sa Poha khaaya tha tumne woh bhi mere aur Pihu ke itna bolne ke baad.
Priya(shaking her head): Mera bilkul mann nahi.
Ram: Priya please...doctor ne strictly bola hai ke tumhe thik se khaana hai. Itni saari dawaiyaan hain, thik kaise hogi tum thik se khaogi nahi toh. Main yeh baat toh bilkul nahi sununga tumhari.
Priya pressed her lips together, and then took another bite of the chocolate making Ram glare at her. He almost snatched the chocolate out of her hand.
Ram: Kabhi kabhi lagta hai tum Pihu se bhi choti ho.
Ram shook his head thinking how the tables had turned and now he was scolding Priya because he wanted her to get well soon. And he knew it would be hard to handle Priya because she tends to be very stubborn.
But at least he was there now to take care of her and she didn't have to go through this alone. He made a silent promise to her that he would be there for her always, holding her hand at every moment of the rest of her life from now on. Be it happy days or the sad ones, they would experience them together and that would be their happily ever after.

In my opinion, forgiveness is not just a feeling, it's a practice that both the parties should aspire to do. And obviously it does not happen in an instant, it takes time. I don't know if Meera would be forgiven by Ram Priya in this story and I'm just at the same place as they are. Maybe some day in the future, they will be able to forgive her wholeheartedly...who knows.
Phewww! I'm just happy now. I had almost forgot how it felt like to write happy, sweet chapters. Glad that finally I can go back writing those. I'm feeling relieved honestly.
Get ready for some really nice chapters that I had planned from such a long time.
Also thank you so much to you all.
Hope you all liked the chapter!
