This update is a turning point in the story ❤️

*****
Ram and Kranti were sitting in front of the doctor in his cabin waiting for him to start his instructions regarding Dashrath. The doctor was busy writing something in Dashrath's file while Kranti was taking glances at Ram.
DOCTOR- so...
Finally the doctor completed his work gaining Kranti's attention.
DOCTOR- mene aap dono ko yaha isliye bulaya hai, so that I could discuss few things about Mr Raghuvanshi's health.
Said the doctor looking at both Ram and Kranti, turn by turn. Kranti looks at Ram and he nods his head allowing the doctor to continue.
DOCTOR- Ram.. Mrs Raghuvanshi.. as your family doctor, I feel it necessary to instruct few things to you..and I hope it doesn't mind..
Kranti shook her head lightly hearing the doctor.
KRANTI- no doctor.. please guide us..
The doctor nods his head and again checks with Dashrath's file.
DOCTOR- Dashrath Ji's health is not keeping well these days. Unka blood pressure level, cholesterol level.. everything is increased. Which is not a good sign..
Kranti gets scared hearing the doctor's words. She clutched Ram's hand tightly which was on the chair's arm. He looks at his hand and then at Kranti who was looking at the doctor.
DOCTOR- we are lucky that the attack was mild one. Angioplasty se, he is better now. But there are certain precautions to take..
Said the doctor looking at Ram and Kranti again while Kranti gulped hearing him.
RAM- yes doctor.. we will take care of that..
The doctor smile at him and hands Dashrath's file to him.
DOCTOR- few medicines are added in his old prescription. Give those on time. And yes, do check with the symptoms regularly..I mean, chest pain, high BP or check with the ECG tests regularly..
Ram nods at him in yes listening to his instructions. Kranti kept on holding Ram's hand tightly while Ram placed his other hand on her hand, to calm her.
DOCTOR- diet and exercise, you all know.. but.. check with his mental balance too..
Ram and Kranti looks at him in confusion. The doctor understood their look and continued.
DOCTOR- ye sabhi bate jo mene batayi.. it's of physical care. But there are few things which has to be managed.. mentally..
The doctor raised his one eyebrow while both of them understood what he is telling them about.
DOCTOR- I am sorry, this is your family matter.. but ghar ke problems Dashrath ji ke health ko effect kar rahe hai.. I suggest to keep those problems away from him.
Kranti kept on looking at him saying nothing while Ram watches her expressions. He nods his head lightly at the doctor.
DOCTOR- dil ko sambhalne ke liye, dimag ka shant rehna, bohot zaruri hai.. I hope you understand.
Kranti bows her head down knowing the meaning of his words. Ram nods at him in agreement.
RAM- sure doctor. We will look after it. And we will bring papa on time for the next follow up too..
The doctor smile at him and nods his head. Ram looks at his side to watch Kranti who was busy in her thoughts. He lightly patted her hand which was holding his hand .
RAM- maa..
Kranti looks at his direction when he called her.
RAM- chale.?
Kranti nods her head lightly. Both of them gets up from their place and takes a leave from the cabin...
*****
SHRUTI- ye kya papa..? Doctor uncle aapke itne ache friend hai kya, that you decided to be with him in the hospital.?
Joked Shruti in a pout for which everyone laughs at her. They have visited to meet Dashrath in the hospital. Siya helped him to rest his back on the pillow while everyone were in front of him.
URMILA- wohi to papa.. aap ko hume darana hi tha, then you would have scolded us in your strict voice. Aise bimar padke darane ki kya zarurat thi..?
Complaints Urmila for which Dashrath laughs at her. Siya and Sumitra giggle hearing their words while the boys just gave a light smile.
MANVI- chup karo tum dono..
Manvi scolded both of them asking them to keep quiet giving a light pat on their back.
MANVI- tum dono ki bate sunke, papa ko headache hojayega..
Said Manvi nodding her head in disbelief. While Urmila and Shruti giggles at her.
DASHRATH- tum sabko aise mere pas dekhunga.. to apne aap theek hojaunga.. I don't need any medicine or anything else ..
Said Dashrath with a smile looking at everyone. Kranti stopped at the door hearing his words while Ram enters the room.
SUMITRA- aap already theek hai bhaisahab.. you just need to rest, that's it..
Said Sumitra strictly for which Dashrath nods in agreement.
DASHRATH- mujhe to ab yaha rehne ka mann nahi kar raha. I want to go home..
Said Dashrath looking at Siya, requesting her. Ram smile at him and moves towards Siya, standing beside her.
RAM- ofcourse papa. You are getting discharge tomorrow..
Everyone became happy hearing Ram. While Dashrath made a face.
DASHRATH- mujhe to aaj hi jana tha..
Said Dashrath sounding frustrated for which everyone giggles at him. Siya's eyes falls on the boys who were silent saying nothing. She knows that they are tensed and are scared to look at their father like that.
RAM- come on papa.. you've to take your care now. Suna na doctor uncle ne kya kaha.?
Asked Ram in a strict voice for which Dashrath nods at him lightly. Ram smile at him and forwards the file to Siya.
RAM- papa ki file hai.. medicines and everything is written there..
Siya hesitate to take the file from him while Ram understood what she is thinking about. Since they are not present in Raghuvanshi palace then Siya will not be able to look after that. She smile and takes the file from him and turns towards Urmila.
SIYA- Urmila.. take this.. aur tino milkar dekh lena ache se..
Said Siya forwarding the file towards Urmila. Kranti bows her head down for a moment witnessing the scenario. Urmila smile lightly taking the file from Siya's hold. Suddenly Ram's cellphone rang, disturbing their conversation.
RAM- papa ka hai..
Said Ram looking at Janak's name displayed on the screen.
RAM- hello papa..
Ram received the call and Janak sighed in relief hearing his normal voice.
JANAK- ha Ram.. Dashrath ji kaise hai.?
Questioned Janak for while Ram looks at Dashrath.
RAM- ab theek hai.. infact ekdum theek hai..
Answered Ram with a smile. Janak looks at his around where Sunaina Kushal and Chandra were standing. He blinks his eyes indicating them that Dashrath is fine. Everyone sighed with a relief looking at him.
RAM- have a talk with him..
Said Ram moving towards Dashrath and forwards his phone to him.
DASHRATH- ji.. Janak ji..
JANAK- how are you now Dashrath ji.?
Dashrath smile at his question. He looks at Siya who was now standing beside him.
DASHRATH- when my children are around me, then me theek kaise nahi ho sakta.?
The boys controlled their tears by bowing their head down for which Siya observed them. Bharat takes a step back and leaves from there without disturbing anyone while Siya watches him going...
*****
Bharat was in the rest room of the hospital, sitting on the couch thinking about Dashrath's health. The last two days were the toughest for the Raghuvanshis. At the time of Holi, in Delhi, they have enjoyed their life at its fullest. But as it is said, life is a combination of hard and soft days, happy and sad moments. Their life took a U-turn again when the heap of sadness came into their way, in form of Dashrath's illness. Bharat sighed and closed his eyes letting his tears falls down his cheek. Siya came near him and witness his condition who seems to be tensed for his father. She smile at him lightly and moves towards him keeping her hand on his head while Bharat looks in front witnessing her.
BHARAT- bhabhi..
Siya settled down beside him while he wipes his tears.
BHARAT- sorry bhabhi.. wo.. I could not.. control my emotions there..
Said Bharat accepting his emotions while Siya shook her head lightly. She keeps her hand on his back.
SIYA- kabhi kabhi rone se, dil halka hojata hai. Kabhi kabhi, ro lena chahiye..
Said Siya with a smile and Bharat nods at her words. Siya kept on caressing his back while Bharat bows his head down.
SIYA- janti hu me.. tum tino apne bhaiya ke liye, khudke emotions chupa rahe the..
Bharat looks at her getting startled. Lakshman and Shatrughan too came near them. Lakshman settled down beside Siya's other side while Shatrughan settled down on ground in front of her, resting his head on her lap, allowing his tears to flow.
SIYA- me na.. tum charo bhaiyo ki bohot badi wali fan hogayi hu..
Said Siya in a joke while Lakshman smile at her words. She keeps her hand on Shatrughan's head and caresses him lovingly.
SIYA- waha tumhare bade bhaiya koshish kar rahe hai to stay strong in front of you three. Because he thinks, if he cried in front of you all then you all will fall weak..
Siya said with a smile thinking about Ram and his love towards his brothers. Bharat bows his head down taking Siya's hand in his hand for the support.
SIYA- aur yaha.. you three are controlling your emotions in front of your bhaiya. Kyu ki tumhe lagta hai, tum agar unke samne rone lage to wo weak hojayenge...
Lakshman nods his head in yes when Siya understood their feelings correctly. She smiles looking at three of them and kept on caressing Shatrughan's head.
SIYA- sachme.. aise duniya ke anokhe bhai to mene peheli bar hi dekhe hai..
Siya said in a teasing tone to lighten their mood. The boys smile at her words.
SIYA- hamari family me jo bhi horaha hai na, this is to make you all stand on your feet and to be independent..
Siya said looking at the three and trying to explain them her point of view. Bharat and Lakshman kept on staring her while Shatrughan closed his eyes listening her.
SIYA- tumhare strong supporter, tumhare bhaiya jab ghar chodke gaye, that time you all felt helpless. Your life became vacant. But dekho.. iss circumstance ne tum tino ko kitna strong bana diya..? Hai na.?
Questioned Siya giving a light pat on Shatrughan's head while he nods lightly. They know that whatever she is saying is correct.
SIYA- Ram jo tumhare pas rehkar tumhe nahi sikha paye.. he did it when he left you all alone..
Bharat closed his eyes as the three months started flashing in front of his eyes.
SIYA- aaj papa ki tabyet thodi kharab hui.. to hum sab log.. helpless hogaye..
Tears started forming in Siya's eyes thinking about the last two days of their life.
SIYA- jab bhi hamara support hum se chin jata hai na, we tend to get afraid, to fall weak..
She wipes her tears while the boys waited for her to continue.
SIYA- isliye.. remember this thing forever.. stay strong and independent always.. family me ek dusre par depend rehna is fine, but itna nahi ki wo hume kamzor kar de aur hamare sath hamare apno ko bhi..
The boys nods at her in agreement. They have known this from their experience that what they have to improve in their relationship and what they have to not do...
BHARAT- hum samajh gaye hai bhabhi.. jo bhaiya hume hamesha se samjhana chahte the..
Siya smile at his words. Lakshman keep his head on Siya's shoulder while Shatrughan tightens his grip on her, having his head on her lap. Siya caresses Bharat's face while he smile at her feeling positive..
*****
Mother – the one word that cannot be defined in a single phrase; that one word that embodies all the love a human being could possibly offer. A mother is not just someone who gave birth to a child. A mother represents the combination of feelings, behaviors and sacrifices that occur while raising a child, whether the child is biologically hers or not..!!
Kranti is one of the strongest woman and a strongest mother. Who has always been with her children, who has always loved her children unconditionally, specially Ram, though he is not her biological son. She has always given her everything for her children's happiness, for their well-being. But, a mistake cannot decide that she is not worthy for anything. She took that decision for the wellbeing of her children, but that doesn't happened, which doesn't mean that she has to be given all the blame. People changes, they understand their mistakes, and this is the most beautiful thing about life...
It was night, and Kranti was still in the hospital, thinking about her family, her children, her Ram. These two days were literally miserable for her. She has almost lost her husband, which has made her emotionally weak. And in this miserable situation, the same two strongest people were present near her, near her family- Ram and Siya. Kranti was standing outside a ward, looking through the glass door, at a lady who was smiling looking at her new born in her hands...
O Dharti Tarse, Ambar Barse,
Rutt Aaye, Rutt Jaye Hay...
Kranti remembers the day when Dashrath has brought her in the hospital where Kaushalya was counting her last days. She remembers the incident when Kaushalya has handed her two years old Ram in her hands for the first time, to keep him safe and to look after him for the life time...
Har Mausam Ki Khushbu Chunke,
Baghban Bagh Sajaye...
That day, a tear had automatically droped from Kranti's eyes, taking Ram in her arms, experiencing a motherhood for the first time. She was happy to be a mother of this kid, she was happy to give her immense love to Ram. His small hands have touched her face giving her his immense love and she had lightly touched her lips to his forehead, assuring him that from that day she is his mother...
Baghon Ke Har Phul Ko Apna Samjhein Baghban,
Baghon Ke Har Phul Ko Apna Samjhein Baghban...
Kranti smile as that day's memory flashed in front of her eyes. She remembered the day when she got married to Dashrath and he brought her to their home, that time. And from that day, she had taken care of Ram as her own son, as her own flesh, someone the closest to her heart, someone who gave her love, immense respect that she didn't wanted to ask anything more from God...
Har Ghadi Kare Rakhwali,
Patti Patti Dali Dali Sinche Baghban...
Kranti turns to leave from there to give the lady some personal space to spend time with her baby. She started walking in the corridor of the hospital when Ram's childhood memories flashed in front of her. She remembered how she used to run after him to feed him the food. How she used to take him to the cricket ground after school. How she used to spend her maximum time with him and behind him, he has became her world, her beautiful world...
Baghon Ke Har Phul Ko Apna Samjhein Baghban,
Baghon Ke Har Phul Ko Apna Samjhein Baghban...
Kranti remembers the day when Bharat was born. How Ram felt out of the world that day due to happiness. How he used to care Bharat by always being with him. When Kranti used to make Ram eat the food, how he used to ask her to feed it to Bharat first. How he was so overprotective for all his brothers and how he used to always take their side. She remembers the days when all the four kids used to play together...
Har Ghadi Kare Rakhwali,
Patti Patti Dali Dali Sinche Baghban...
The memories of their young age flashed in front of her. How Bharat, Lakshman and Shatrughan had always considered Ram as their idol. She remembers how she used to love Ram the most and how others used to tease her and make fun of her. But she never bothered with that. All she bothered was for Ram and his happiness...
Baghban Rab Hai Baghban,
Baghban Rab Hai Baghban...
Kranti stopped at a place when she remembered the days when Ram used to fall sick. She used to get scared the most looking at his condition. And how he used to only have food or medicine given by Kranti. How he used to get pacified by Kranti when the doctor used to inject him. How he used to sleep in his mother's embrace, the world's best sleep he used to experience in his mother's lap...
Baghban Rab Hai Baghban,
Baghban Rab Hai, Baghban...
She took a deep breath and moves towards the rest room of the hospital. She stopped at the door when her eyes falls on Ram and Siya who were sleeping. They were resting themselves on the couch, Siya's hands wrapped on Ram's right arm, and her head resting on his shoulder. Kranti kept on looking at them without having any expressions...
O Madhuban Ki Bahar Le Aaye,
Mausam Rite Rite, Haye Mausam Rite Rite...
Kranti takes small steps to move towards them. Ram and Siya's marriage moments came in front of her eyes. How happy she was to have someone like Siya for her Ram. The one who completed Ram in every means. The perfect eldest daughter in-law for her family, the one who has handled each one of them with her perfect nature. She smiles looking at both of them flown in their love for each other...
Janam Janam Ki Trishna Bujh Gayi,
Birha Ke Chhan Beete, Hay Birha Ke Chhan Beete...
Kranti stands in front of them quietly, without disturbing their sleep. She remembers the moments spend with them in Holi when they have visited Delhi. Everyone's happy faces came in front of her eyes when they were with Ram and Siya. At that time she has experienced that her family's happiness is directly connected with Ram and Siya. And not only her family's happiness but her happiness too...
Phir Se Sajaye Bhikhre Apne Sapne Baghban,
Phir Se Sajaye Bhikhre Apne Sapne Baghban...
A tear falls from her eyes looking at both of them. There was not a single moment when they were not present for anyone in the family. Whether it is with Bharat, Lakshman or Shatrughan, or whether it is Dashrath's health. They are always there for everyone, as a support system, as strong pillars, handling everyone and every situation maturely...
Baghban Rab Hai Baghban,
Baghban Rab Hai Baghban...
She looks at the side where Siya's bag was there. She took the shawl from her bag and covered both of them with the comforter so that they get relaxed. She smiled looking at Ram's innocent face. The face, the eyes, looking at which she always felt love of a mother. She hesitate to place her hand on his head, but gains strength and placed her hand softly on his forehead without disturbing his sleep...
Baghban Rab Hai Baghban,
Baghban Rab Hai, Rab Hai Baghban...
Kranti turns to leave from there. She started moving outside the rest room when the memories of Bharat, Lakshman and Shatrughan's behaviour appears in her mind. She did all this for her children's benifit. And what she got, nothing other than her children's hatred. How much they all have started hating her, their bitter words for her, their behaviour towards her gave her immense pain...
O Ungali Thaam Ke Jin Birbo Ko Hamnein Dikhayi Raah,
Maat Pita Ki Unke Man Mein Tanik Nahi Parvaah...
She moves towards Dashrath's ward and stops outside the door. She looks at Lakshman and Urmila who were there inside Dashrath's room, taking his care. Lakshman was sitting in front of the sleeping Dashrath while Urmila was caressing his back asking him to not worry for his father...
O Ansuan Bhar Naino Se Inko Dekhein Baghban,
Ansuan Bhar Naino Se Inko Dekhein Baghban...
Kranti felt bad for their condition. She knows that somewhere she is the reason for their separation. They have to stay separate because of her decision of distribution amongst the brothers, though indirectly but these all were connected to her decision. She has disturbed everyone's life...
Baghban Rab Hai Baghban,
Baghban Rab Hai Baghban...
She takes support of the side wall so that she do not fall due to crying. She turns around not having that confidence to face Dashrath or Lakshman at that time. She remembered Urmila's crying face, her pain which she was going through because of the separation from her husband. And for this too, Kranti blames herself...
Baghban Rab Hai Baghban,
Baghban Rab Hai, Baghban...
Suddenly her thoughts gets disturbed as her cellphone rang. She wipes her eyes and checks with the caller to find Mandira's name flashing on the screen. Kranti scrunched her eyebrows looking at her masi's name. Her masi, to whom she considered her mother, her guardian, her only parent. And what she did with Kranti's family.?
O Kisne Dukh Ki Agni Daali, Banjar Ho Gaye Khet,
Hari Bhari Jeevan Baghiya Se Udne Lagi Hai Raet...
Kranti remembers the words Mandira used to say for Ram. She always used to ignore Mandira's words. But one day finally Mandira manipulated her successfully against Ram. That day was the biggest mistake for Kranti, the day when Mandira was successful in her mission. She blames herself for getting in the words of Mandira, for not trusting Ram and Siya, for not trusting her children's love for each other...
Kya Boya Tha, Aur Kya Kaata Sochey Baghban,
Kya Boya Tha, Aur Kya Kaata Sochey Baghban...
The phone kept on ringing and finally went unanswered. Kranti started moving from the place ignoring Mandira's phone calls. She moves towards a window and folded her hands looking outside the darkness of the night. The dark night also showcased Kranti's life nowadays...
Baghban Rab Hai Baghban,
Baghban Rab Hai Baghban...
Kranti remembers the day when she ordered Dashrath to distribute everything amongst the children. She remembers how Dashrath has scolded her for being selfish, for being untrusted towards Ram. She closed her eyes blaming herself for not trusting Dashrath at that time...
Baghban Rab Hai Baghban,
Baghban Rab Hai, Rab Hai Baghban...
The next moments appeared in Kranti's mind were when Ram told her that he is leaving the Raghuvanshi palace. She got a shock that time hearing his decision. She wanted to stop him and Siya from leaving, but her baseless insecurities stopped her from doing that. She opens her eyes and felt bad for that day...
O Yehi Soch Ke Sansein Likh Di Inn Phulan Ke Naam,
Inki Chhaiya Chhaiya Beetey Umar Ki Dhalti Shaam...
From that day, everyone are blaming her for everyone's tears, for everyone's sadness. She remembered Sumitra's words, that no one is going to stay happy once Ram and Siya leaves the family. And yes, her sister was indeed correct. From that day no one is staying happy, specially her sons and her husband...
Gunchey Hardam Hi Muskaye Chahey Baghban,
Gunchey Hardam Hi Muskaye Chahey Baghban...
She remembered Bharat's hatred towards her. His promise which he gave her that he will end his life if Kranti forced him into anything. His promise, wrenched her heart in fear. She remembered how Shatrughan fought with her. His bitter words towards her, his anger towards her. She remembered Lakshman's taunts and ignorance when he has visited for Urmila's birthday...
Har Ghadi Kare Rakhwali,
Patti Patti Daali Daali Sinchey Baghban...
The girls and their ignorance towards Kranti was also making her feel disappointed. Everyone in the family has stopped talking with her, making her alone. Whether it is Dashrath or Sumitra, they too didn't bothered to understand her point of view or her condition. She felt alone from last few months...
Baghban Rab Hai Baghban
Baghban Rab Hai, Rab Hai,
Rab Hai, Rab Hai, Rab Hai Baghban...
Kranti's eyes falls on the God's idol present near the reception of the hospital. She started moving towards the God's idol, taking slow steps, looking dull and lifeless. The Kranti Raghuvanshi, who was a strong lady, was now seems to be weak, because of her deeds, because of her own decisions...
Woh Suraj Hai Layi Jisne Dhoop Aangan Aangan Mein,
Kyun Hai Akelapan Ka Andhera Aaj Ussi Ke Damaan Mein...
She stops in front of the idol looking straight at the God having n number of questions in her eyes. Kranti remembers Kaushalya and her words that she said to her before her departure. Kaushalya asked for a promise from Kranti that she will handle this whole house and their family properly. Kranti felt pain in her heart as she realised that she was not able to fulfill her promise given to Kaushalya...
Kya Chaha Tha Aur Kya Paya Sochey Baghban,
Kya Chaha Tha Aur Kya Paya Sochey Baghban...
Again all the memories started flashing in front of her eyes in a full speed making her to feel like she is having a roller coaster ride. She closed her eyes tightly as she felt the earth beneath her is moving and she will fall on ground at any moment. Ram's voice echoed in her ears, when he calls her "maa". Siya's words echoed in her ears when she told Kranti that they are not angry with her and Ram loves her a lot...
Baghban Rab Hai Baghban,
Baghban Rab Hai Baghban...
She felt pety of herself and guilty for her situation. Kranti opens her eyes immediately as her cellphone again started ringing. She looks at the caller and again finds Mandira's name. The surrounding stopped near her at that moment as she thought something in her mind and her heart. She wipes her tears and looks at her cellphone and disconnects Mandira's call finally...
Baghban Rab Hai Baghban,
Baghban Rab Hai Baghban,
Baghban, Baghban...!!
A sudden relief is something Kranti felt that time when she disconnected Mandira's call. She looks at the God in front of her and joins her hands asking strength for her. She again looks at her cellphone and dialled Sumitra's number. Sumitra got disturbed in her sleep as her cellphone rang. She switched on the side lamp of her bed and looks at the caller to find Kranti's name.
SUMITRA- didi..? Hey bhagwan..
She started getting restless as she thought n number of things regarding Dashrath's health. She answered her cellphone after a moment.
SUMITRA- hello didi.. is everything fine.?
Asked Sumitra sounding worried. Kranti gulped and answered her immediately.
KRANTI- Sumitra.. I've taken my decision...
Said Kranti looking straight, wiping her tears from her eyes. Finally the time has arrived when she has taken a stand regarding Ram...
