V-"Nothing will be fine now.He has to suffer.

Karuna held Varna's shoulders.Shaking her strongly.Shaivani saw that.She didnt believe her eyes.Girl has become so hard.She needed to cry.Her face still white.Dark circles under her eyes.She was looking in lost direction.Karuna slapped her.Shivani stopped her.
K-"Cant you see.Your Appa is sick.Im not able.Handle anything.

Varna frowned.Still sitting like stone.Shut her eyes.Feeling dizzy and weak.She gulped down.Hard pain.her body was shivering.Shivani took Karuna's place.Touching Varna's hands.Felt them cold.
Sh-"Varna we have to accept.Decision made.Cant become statue.Have to live.

R-"Whenever I need you.Will be there.Promise me Varna.

Varna felt pained.Remembering Ramya's face.Angry at her.She remembered.Everything her anger.At her.After marriage for losing.Contact with her.Moments they shared.Ramya's touch.Their hugs.Last her heart.Felt stabbed to death.When she realized.She didnt get chance.See Ramya last time.Meet her and hug her.Tightly.Ramya left her hands.Breaking promise.Which they came to world together.Eevrything went silent.In room.Only Varna's loud.Cries were heard.Her pain in voice.Made everything feel.Miserable and couldnt believe their eyes.
Varna was hugging Pranush.Closer to her heart.Crying loudly.Her moans.Were heard whole house.Karuna broke down again.Shivani gave smile.Through tears.Her heart knew this would work.Ramya's last bond.Could make her.Most precious bond.Awake from grief.She touched Varna's head.Varna's sobs didnt stop.She looked at baby.Who was in grief.Like her.She kissed him.Pranush stopped crying.Shocking everyone.He felt he was.In safe place.He hid his face in Varna's bosom.He couldnt take.Longer his hunger.Shivani gave bottle.To Varna.She looked at her.With questionable eyes.
Vivaan went to get his things.He was going.To take Pranush hospital.Went to Nandini.She wasnt in her room.he heard loud cries of.His son.He wanted to go there.Stopped by some feeling.He shut his eyes.Standing few steps away from room.Everyone went to.He has gathered himself.After lot of.Struggles and difficulties.He wont be able to.See same face.His Ramya's face.He remembered this only.When felt someone hand on shoulder.Shakthi gave knowing look.Vivaan have seen him yesterday.Too but he didnt stay long.
Sh-"Hope you are alright.Know what you must be.Going through.
Be strong Vivaan."
V-"Thanks.All are inside.

Both heard voice.Varna was crying.Loudly and Shakthi rushed.To room leaving Vivaan.confused to go or not.He caught his head.Till he reached room.Pranush was taken there.He didnt knew.Didnt like.He went to take him back.His health was.Be treated at any cost.When he stopped on door.Shakthi was there too.Step ahead than him.Their eyes caught.Soothing sight.Varna's face.Drenched in tears.She was breathing.Heavily and Pranush.Was in her lap.She kept on crying.Feeding baby with bottle.Vivaan was shocked.See his son.Calmly having his meal.When he tried he didnt.
Week has passed the incident.Slowly all trying to forget.Which wasnt possible.Prakash and Karuna went to.Their house in Hynderabad.They wished stay.Till Prakash and Varna's health.gets better.Karuna gave milk to Prakash.When they heard.Varna's voice.She was going upstairs.To her room.Her face had faint smile.Slowly lulling Pranush to sleep.It was miracle.For everyone.Seeing speedy recovery.To infant who was.At worsened health.
Varna's love and care.Made him better.When they came to this house.Varna didnt wish.Leave him behind.She knew she had no right.Shivani's decision.Made everyone lip tight.No one said.Except Vivaan who was.Groaning from inside.He didnt wish to send.His son away.To someone else.Burdening her and he tried.Talking with his mother.For some time.Everyone suggested it was better.Varna handles Pranush.He is better with her.She is only one.Who handle him.
Reddys made visits.Everyday to house.See Pranush.Nandini and Reyansh.Shivani and Vivaan came too.Vikram spent time.With Prakash.Vivaan wasnt happy.Seeing Varna spending.Time with his son.He wasnt sure.If he should let this happen.In his heart.One thing disturbed him.No one should take Ramya's place.Pranush was their son.Varna didnt talk with anyone.Her days and nights.Were busy with baby.She felt him.Giving breath to her.Shakthi felt awkward.Paying visits.He sat with Prakash and others.What hurt him.Seeing Varna behave.She has lost sister.He understood.He didnt knew.What place he holds.In her life.
2 weeks passed like that.Pranush's health is.Fine now.He was healthy baby.Varna was giving him bottle.Upstairs kissing him.Playing with him.He smiled at her.He was happy.In her hold.Gave him warmth craved for.Doorbell rang.Karuna opened to see.Vivaan standing with unsure face.He greeted her.Touching her feet.Came inside see Prakash.He touched his feet.His eyes went to.Ramya's picture.After while he was sitting.Karuna gave him glass of water.
Vivaan felt his hands.Wet and he was confused.Say matter he came for.He looked at stairs.Up in the room.Asked for Pranush.He didnt come for two days.Truth was he couldnt bear.See sight his won.With Varna.Unknowingly it pricked him.He glared at stairs.Karuna saw that.Vivaan shut his eyes.She informed him.How Pranush was better.Telling him what he does whole day.At nights how he wakes up.Sleeps and plays.Vivaan couldnt bear.Hear about his son.He was born.Few days ago.He should be with him.He was only thread.He could hold on to.
V-"Aththai I come here.Say something.
Appa I want to.take Pranush back.To his home."
Prakash and Karuna.Shared confused look.They knew.Were expecting too much.It was true they.Lived seeing baby's face.Still fresh wounds.Were from Ramya's demise.Vivaan made hard face.With frown keeping glass on table.He got up.Karuna and Prakash too.
K-"Vivaan I know.How you feel.We lost our daughter too.
But Pranush.He feels good here.With Varna.How will he live."
V-"He has to live Aththai.His father is there for him.His whole family.
For how long.This continue.Some day he has.To be back.So why not.Today please.Get him here.
I have to leave."
Prakash asked Karuna call varna.She has seen Varna.Showering love and affection.To infant and.Love was for her sister.Ramya's going have left.Deep impact on Varna.Karuna felt relieved see.Pranush was healing her wounds.Now she didnt knew.How she will handle.Once he is gone.She didnt have heart.Go and tell her.She wiped her tears.She turned around see.Varna standing in staircase.Vivaan and Praksh saw her too.Vivaan glared not giving her look.What Varna did next.Shocked them.She run upstairs.Closing door of room.Falling down sliding her body through door.She cried and went to.Pick Pranush in her arms.She kissed him.
She didnt stop.Showering kisses on him.Till heard knocks on door.Karuna first.Then Prakash's voice came.She didnt open door.Hugging baby close to her.She shut her eyes.He was Ramya's symbol to her.She cant let him go.
Sh-"Varna open door.What behavior is this."
She opened eyes.Hearing Shakthi's voice.She was in disheveled state.Shakthi was startled see her.Hugging baby like that.His face softened.When Varna could see.Vivaan from back.Glaring at her.He went to her.Crossing Shakthi.Who tried to stop him.Varna glared at him.With red eyes.Both had some deep.Emotion towards each other.Vivaan took baby.From her and hugged him.Kissing his head.He turned back.Leaving for home.Till he heard thud.Noise and found.Vara lying unconscious on floor.
