I am really sorry about this story. I haven't written an update for year and a half. I honestly did not know where I was talking it. My aim was to write an ending but me being me I haven't. I have written a new part though. For those that did not read my original story, here is the link. https://www.indiaforums.com/forum/fan-fictions/3607470/ss-two-tales-updated-pg-48-18-1-14
A brief synopsis
The characters were taken from Ek Hazarron mein meri Behna hai. Jeevika, Viren, Maanvi and Virat. But the characters in my story have no resembles to them. In actual fact you could change their names and it would even be linked to the show.
In short
Jeevika and Maanvi are sisters. Jeevika long time boyfriend was Viren. She had kidney disease and had an transplant and later married said boyfriend. Their marriage had its ups and downs but overall they were happy until Jeevika suffered a late in pregnancy miscarriage. Maanvi started seeing Virat. They were both in love and on the verge of getting married until Virat's jealousy was much too much for her to handle. After separating her found herself pregnant a detail she did not share with Virat until she was quite far along. They have a son called Laksh and have been trying to raise him together but not as a couple.
That was a very brief and not so great summary of my SS.
Part 31
It had been months since the death of their first child and on the surface everything seemed fine and as a couple they felt they were but as people, it was another story.
Suddenly Jeevika felt a pull below her, "Masi," Laksh's little voice woke her up as she leant forward he began to run away. There were moments when she forgot everything then all of a sudden things came flooding back and it was the same with Viren. Grief isn't something that one forgets you simply get better at dealing with it. Maanvi had become quiet adept in figuring out her sister. One evening Laksh laid on his masis lap and had fallen asleep when Maanvi walked in looking for her monkey. Instead she saw, he son fast asleep as Jeevika gently patted him. Before long, Viren picked him up and placed him in his bed. She watched as their bonded over Laksh but saw how without knowing she had been grazing their wounds further.
Maanvi and Laksh moved out of Jeevika and Viren's place. They had found a small place between Jeevika's and Virat's. Life went back to normal. Jeevika and Viren went back to work and Maanvi returned but part time.
Her first few days at work were the hardest. She called her childminder too many times. She knew that she was over thinking it but she couldn't help it. This was the first time she had left Laksh in the care of someone that wasn't family. She was bound to feel anxious. However, the moment she picked him up made it for her.
A few months later.
Virat let himself into Maanvi flat. Hearing the sound of screams, he headed to the bedroom. Unable to find Maanvi, he picked Laksh. He tried to calm to, while trying to shout for Maanvi. However, his shouts simply aggrieved his son, who just became louder. After a moment, Laksh quieted down as Maanvi walked in.
"Where were you?"
"How did you?" Maanvi looked confused at seeing Virat putting Laksh down with his toys.
"Maanvi, our son was screaming at the top of his lungs and you were nowhere to be seen. I think that is the more important question!" His harsh tone spoke more than anything. Rolling her eyes, she snorted before leaving the room.
"Hello," he followed her out as he felt as if she was making him out to be invisible. As caring that your child who was crying is a crime.
She turns away from him, "Virat I'm not arguing with you. You turn up randomly after three weeks and start,"
"Start what Maanvi! He was baling his eyes out,"
"Yes Virat I'm a terrible mother. I got your point, now leave." However, Virat was not going to leave. Over the last few months Virat's behaviour had become erratic. He wasn't the same man and not just with Maanvi but also with Laksh. It started with small things, turning up a little late to pick him up from Maanvi's. Later he began cancelling at the last moment then finally he not turn up. This became worse once Maanvi had started back at work, which made timetabling him problematic.
"Seeing as you agree," Virat began to walk towards Laksh's door. Maanvi stood half way between him and the door.
"Are you in your right mind? Laksh was crying because he had a temper tantrum as he didn't get what he wanted. I wasn't going to indulge that." He continued to step forward as her deepest fears were coming alive.
"Virat stop!
You haven't seen or spoken to your son in weeks and today you turn up and what? You're going to take him from me?" Virat stood there silent, "I don't know what is up with you and after months of this disappearing act, I actually don't care. But you are not taking my son anywhere."
"He is also my son," That last line had hit a nerve.
"Really? As for the last few months, it hasn't seemed like that. Did you know he had chicken pox earlier this month? That he couldn't stop scratching and couldn't sleep because of it? Or that he now enjoys trains rather than cars, or that he when he sees Spurs kit, he says daddy as it reminds him of you? This is all news to you because you haven't been here or even tried to be. I even tried calling you, but shockingly you didn't answer. You can't turn up and be a parent when you want. It's a full time job and if you don't get that..." She let her hand forward and left him.
********
Maanvi was sick of the inconstancies of her life and wondered how did she ever get here. One day it was her and her sister, then Viren a part of their world, to which she had never minded. Yet how did she mess up her own life? Don't mistake her thoughts not wanted her son. She did and does, and loved him to the moon and back. Still, she did not think about it much but today sitting in her empty flat while her son silently sleeps upstairs and his father nowhere in the picture, she could not help it. How did she end up as a single parent of a 3 year old? How did she not see Virat for what he was?

"How was today?" Jeevika asked Viren. She was late after a long day at work.
"The same as yesterday, he didn't say anything a school today. Emma said he listens and does what he is suppose to but still doesn't talk to anyone, child or adult."
"Where is he now?"
"He fell asleep an hour ago after having dinner. I tried to play with him but he wasn't interested. I think it is still too early."
Jeevika and Viren had begun fostering a six-year-old child. George had been taken from his mother two weeks ago and since has been living with Jeevika and Viren. In that time, he has only spoken a few words to them and refuses to speak at school.
