Enough is Enough!!!A short FF Conclusion Pg8 10/20

Enough Is Enough!!!!!!!

Ashutosh had plenty of time to reflect on the consequences of his actions, on his return flight back home. He knew that Nidhi would be mad at him, may be even furious. She might even not talk to him. But he knew that it would only be for a short while. She loved him too much, to stay angry at him for long. And, even though she might not like it, in the end she would accept his decision, and life would go on as it had before.

It's not as though he did not love her. He did! He loved her more than he had ever loved anybody in his life, even more than his life. Its just than she was so young and very immature, that all she saw was the rosy side of life. He had seen the harshness and the reality. He supposed that she would mature with age, and he was also sure that she would at some point even appreciate him and his actions, and the little surprise he was bringing back home with him. Although, he could not suppress this little jolt of apprehension that he kept having every time he thought of how Nidhi had looked the last time he had seen her, right before he had left for the airport. She had also not answered any of his phone calls, nor had she replied to any of his messages. He knew that she would be very difficult to appease this time. But the next second he shrugged off these feelings, blaming it on the fact that he knew how she felt about Mallika, and his feelings for his friend. But he would manage to bring her around in the end, as he always did, didn't he?

The minute the taxi stopped outside his house, Ashutosh asked the driver to get the luggage, while he hurried to the door and rang the bell.

He was surprised to see that Baba was the one who opened it, normally it was Nidhi who always did. Well, she was probably at the hospital, or maybe she was in the kitchen. He hoped that it was the latter. He had been hoping that she was home, he had missed her these past two weeks. He came in and touched Baba's feet. But Baba could not utter a word, as he was still staring at the baby in Ashutosh's arms.

--Ashutosh yeh kya...

--Baba sab batataa hoon, I just want to see Nidhi first. Here you hold him for a second, while I go and find her.

Ashutosh, put the baby in Baba's arms and hurried towards the kitchen.

--Ashu, beta...zara sun toh please. Beta ek minute ruk ja...

--Baba, abhi aaya, please. Ek baar Nidhi ko dekh loon, bas, phir aap jo bhi kahenge main sununga. I have missed her a lot. Uss se koi baat bhi nahin hui hai, 2 hafte ho gaye hain. Mujhse bahut naraz hogi na?

And he hurried to kitchen, and frowned when he did not see her there. HK was in there all by himself, and when he saw Ashutosh, he looked up for a second and without any sort of greeting or acknowledgement, went back to the job he had been doing. Ashutosh was really puzzled by his cold behavior, but shrugged it off, Probably in a bad mood, he thought. And then proceeded towards the bedroom.

Dr. Mathur watched helplessly, then sighed, Well, he thought, he would find out soon enough, and when the baby made a sound, he automatically rocked him, without even giving it a thought. A couple of minutes later he came back with a troubled look on his face, and sat down. Baba handed the baby back to him, and looked at him, waiting for the questions, that he knew were coming, getting prepared to answer as best as he could.

--Baba, Nidhi ghar par nahin hai, aur usske kapde bhi closet mein nahin hain, I guess that means she has gone to her Baba's house again, hunh? Baba, last time itna samjahaya tha, par pataa nahin yeh ladki kab mature hogi? Jab dekho tab, baat baat par apne pitah ke ghar chali jaati hai. Aap ko vaada bhi kara tha na picchli baar, apne promise ki bhi koi value nahin hain. I don't know what to do. I guess muhje jaa kar manaa kar lana hoga phirse usse? And, by the way,, Baba, bedroom mein se saari shaadi ki photos kahan gayi?

Baba, kept quiet for a little while trying to get his temper and emotions under control, then

--Kaunsa vaada Ashutosh. Tu kis vaade ki baat kar raha hai? Jo usne mujhse kiya tha? Beta agar tujhe yaad ho toh yaad kar, Nidhi ke uss vaade se pehle maine usske Baba aur Dadi Bua se, aur usse ek vaada kiya tha. Ke tu hamesha usska saath dega, ussko khush rakkhega. Uss vaade ka kya hua beta?

--Baba, yeh aap kya keh rahein hain? Maine hamesha usska saath diya hai. Ussko do saal diye the na maine. Kyon ki woh chahti thi. Hamesha ussko samajhne ki koshish kari hai. Par usse dekho, har baat mein rooth jaati hai bacchon ki tarha. Haan, maana mujhe shayad iss tarha ek dam se bina ussko samjhane ki koshish karne se pehle nahin jaana chahiye tha. But kya karta, Mallika ke bhai ne kaha tha, ke woh bahut critical hai. Mere paas time nahin tha. Issliye bina usske gusse ki parwah kiye chale gaya. Baba Mallika ne marne se pehle apna baccha mujhe de diya. Woh chahti thi ki main aur Nidhi isski parvarish karein, main kaise mana kar sakta tha ussko aise samay mein. Iss liye toh itni der lag gayi wahan par. Kanooni karavahi poori khatm karni thi. Par aap phikr mat kariye. Main abhi lekar aata hoon usse, tab tak aap aur kaka isse sambhal lijiye. Par aapne mujhe bataya nahin, shaadi ki photos kahan gayi saari ki saari?

--Woh saari ek box mein tumhare kamre mein maine rakkh di hain.

--Box mein, Kyon?

--Nidhi ne toh kachre mein phaink diya sara kuch, jaane se pehle, par main aur hiraman unhe nikal kar le aaye. Socha, tere paas kuch to bacchna chaihiye.

--Baba mujhe kuch nahin samajh mein aa raha hai, ke aap kya keh rahein hain. Please paheliyan mat bhujayiye.

--Beta yeh letter tere liye aaya hai, aaj subha hi. Isse padh le sab kuch apne aap hi samajh aa jayega.

Ashutosh put the sleeping baby gently down on the sofa, and slowly reach for the letter lying on the center table.

--Baba, yeh registered letter hai. Kyon?

--Ashutosh, open it. You will get all the answers you are wanting.

Ashutosh had a very bad feeling about this. He did not want to open the letter, he did not want to see what it contained, but it seemed that his hands a mind of their own. and pretty soon he found him self holding official documents, from Nidhi's lawyer, stating her intent to file for a divorce, immediately. It also had a court date, on it.

Ashutosh could not believe what he was seeing, his Nidhi wanted a divorce! But they hadn't even been married for a year yet. They were due to have their first anniversary in a couple of months, how could she do this to him. And over something so small. Why did she always have to read the wrong meaning behind all of his actions. He looked up from the notice to see Baba, giving him pitying looks.

--Baba, aap dekh rahein hain na aapki natin yeh kya kar rahi rahi hai?

--Beta, mujhe pata tha kuch aisa hi hoga iss chitthi mein.

--Toh phir aapko gussa kyon nahin aa raha hai? Aap wahan par aise itne aaraam se kaise baithe hain. Chaliye na mere saath. Nidhi ko samjha kar wapas laane main meri madad kijiye. Itni si baat par koi, itna baba kadam thodihi uthata hai. Chaliye uthiye Baba, hum dono chal kar usse samjhyenge.

--Kyon beta? Hum dono kyon? Tune jo bhi kiya kya mujhse pooch kar ke kiya tha? Agar nahin, toh phir main tera saath kaise de sakta hoon? Na Ashutosh, iss baar nahin. Beta yeh khadda tune apne liye khud khoda hai. Iss mein se tujhe khud nikalna padega. Agar tu usse samjha kar laa sakta hai to theek hai. Nahin toh beta, iss mein you are on your own. I am afraid that I cannot help you in any way. Besides, main kya munh lekar Col. ke ghar jaunga? Kitne garv se kaha tha tu unki beti ko khush rakkhega. Aur aaj dekh. Main galat tha Ashutosh.

Par tere se jo ban paye karle.

--Baba, aap! Aap bhi mera saath chod rahein hain? Main aapka apna beta hota toh kya aap yeh karte?

--Ashu, don't give me that crap! Aaj tak tera hi toh saath deta aaya hoon. Tere pyar mein yeh bhi bhool gaya tha, ke woh meri bahu nahi, meri natin hai. meri swargwaasi beti ki eklauti nishaani. Tere pyar mein aakar hi toh baar baar har sahi galat baat mein tera saath deta aaya. Yeh bhi nahin dekha, ke uss masoom ke dil par beethti hogi. Mallika ke wajah se tune aur maine usse bahut dukh diya hai. Aur aaj bhi tere pyar ki wajah se main yahan tere paas baitha hoon, apni natin ke paas nahin. Iss liye beta tune jo karna hai kar. Par main iss mamle mein teri koi madad nahin kar sakta hoon. Haan itna zaroor hai,ke jab tak tu wapas nahin aata, main iss bacche ko sambhal loonga. Par usske baad yeh teri zimmedaari hai. Tujhe isske liye aaya ki khoj karni hogi. Meri umr nahin rahin beta ab bacche sambhalne ki.

Ashutosh arose from the sofa slowly. And got into his car. He still could not believe the turn of events. He had never thought that she would go this far. But, he was confident that once he saw her, he could convince her to come back home. They loved one another so much. How could either of them survive without the other. And Nidhi, she thought that the sun rose and set with him. Of course she would forgive him and come back home. That thought made him feel a bit better, as he made his way towards her house.

Ashutosh rang doorbell, and wiped his hands on his trousers. He was very scared and very nervous. Chote Sarkar opened the door, and when he saw who it was, he quietly ushered him in, and asked him to take a seat while he went to inform Col Verma and Dadi Bua that he was there. They too had very somber looks on their faces when they came out. He bent down and touched their feet, and waited till they sat, before he sat down himself.

--So, Ashutosh, how are you?

Ashutosh cleared his throat nervously

--Sir, may I speak to Nidhi for a few minutes please?

--I am afraid that's not possible...

--Please sir, I know that she is really angry with me, but...

--No, no. You are misunderstanding me. You can't talk to her because she is not here.

--Oh!, She's not home! Well if you can tell me when she will be back I will wait if that is ok with you?

--Ashutosh I don't have a problem with your talking with her, but she is not here. And as to when she will be back, well thats anybody's guess.

But definitely in time for the hearing.

--Sir, I think that thats a bit accessive. I mean I know that it was wrong of me to leave the way I did, but to file for a divorce because of that! Well...I think thats a little to much.

--Ashutosh that is between the two of you. But From what I know this is not the first time that you have disregarded her wishes. Even the last time she left you and came here, was because you had done the exact same thing, right? You have always let your Friendship with Mallika cloud your judgement.

--Sir, I had to go. Mallika was in a very critical condition. And I don't know if you know but she has passed away.

--Oh! We did not know that. Anyway. I am sorry.

But Ashutosh the decision is Nidhi's. She is the one you need to talk too. Bhua and I tried talking to her before she left, but she did not want to hear anything we had to say.

--I see. I guess that I will try to talk to her when she comes to the hospital then.

--Ashutosh, Nidhi has resigned from KGH. The reason that she is not here is that she had moved out of the city. She has moved to Delhi, and is looking for a job there. She has no plans of coming back!

--But, ...but. How...I mean...why...

--I am sorry. I don't know what else to say.

He was stunned. Ashutosh did not know what to do. Suddenly his life had been turned upside down. How could she do this. How could she simply cut him out of her life like this. He needed some answers, he needed to talk to her.

--Aap mujhe usska number de saktein hain, please? I think that she has disconnected her old one.

--Ashutosh, I can't do that either. Nidhi made me promise. Once again I am sorry. She said hat if you wanted to contact her you could do it through her lawyer.

Throughout it all Ashutosh noticed that Dadi Bua had not spoken a word. She was looking at him with deep sympathy in her eyes. Which surprised him, because he had thought that she would be the first one who would tell him off, and say I told you so. So when he looked at her she said,

--Mere paas kehne ko kuch nahin hai isske sivaye, ke maine bahut pehle tumse yahi bola tha doctor ke tumhari dosti Mallika ke saath , kahin kisi din tumhara ghar na barbad karde. Aur dekho aaj wahi hua hai. Aur sach boloon to mujhe Nidhi se zyada tumhare liye dukh ho raha hai, mujhe tumhari phikr zyada hai.

--Aisa kyon? Main toh sochta tha ke aap mujhe pasand nahin karti.

--Nahin karti THI. Par shaadi ke baad maine yeh bhi dekha hai ke tum Nidhi se kitna pyar karte ho. Mere liye wohi kaafi tha. Par beta, tumne apna nuksaan khud kar liya. Iss se zyada main aur kya kahoon. Pataa nahin tum Nidhi ke bina kaise rahoge.

--Dadi Bua, agar aisi baat hai, toh kya aap Nidhi ko samjhane ki koshish nahin kar sakti?

--Ashutosh maine koshish kari thi, bahut kari. Par iss baar woh kisi ki nahin sunne ko tayyar thi. Anji aur Dr. Rangnath ne bhi kaha, par woh ek na maani. Kya kahoon, mai...

Since there was nothing any of them had to say after that, Ashutosh bid them farewell, and went back home.

When he got home, Baba quietly handed the baby to him, and went to his room. HK came to Ashutosh to ask about dinner, and when Ashutosh replied that he was not hungry, he too went off, leaving him all alone with Mallika's child. He still had not gotten over the shock. Out of all the scenarios he would certainly never have predicted this one! Maybe it was a nightmare, and when he woke up everything would be back to normal, he thought. But the next second, the baby crying, erased the hope and made him realize that this was all too real.

For the first time, Ashutosh faced up to the prospect that this time he may very well loose Nidhi. He had pushed her too far! But at this point what could he possibly do that would rectify the situation, he had no idea.

In retrospect, if he had known, then maybe he would not have been so hasty in making the decision to go. This time he was afraid, that he may have taken the love she had for him for granted, one time too many. What would he would he do if she really carried through with her threat, he thought. But then negated that thought. No, there was no way that she would sever all her ties with him. They had fought so hard for their love, and had gotten together against all odds. But to spend the rest of their lives together, no to end up apart. He had to talk to her. So, if the only way was through her lawyer, then so be it. He went to his room, and put the baby on his bed, and powered up his laptop, then he wrote an email to her lawyer. He was just about finished, when the baby started to cry, so he pressed the send button, and went to take care of him.

Almost a month had gone by, since he had come back from his trip to Australia. He had hired a Nanny to take care of the baby. Ashutosh had wanted to have a child of his own for a very long time. Certainly since the day he had admitted that he loved Nidhi. Well, he had one now, but the cost had been too high. And, even parenthood seemed a hollow achievement in comparison to what he had thrown away. He had wanted his and Nidhi's child. A tiny being who would forever bind them together. But in his zealousness and haste for parenthood, he had lost the only person that had ever truly loved him for himself, without asking for anything other than love, and he had not even given her that.

The past month without her had been a really miserable one, and it had seemed like an eternity, and he was no closer to resolving this situation now then he had been then. In spite of all his efforts, and repeated requests, Nidhi was still not ready to even exchange emails, let alone talk to him. Ashutosh was afraid that this time she really meant it. His one last act of humanity, and friendship had cost him his marriage, and the only woman he had and would ever love. If the last month was any indication, then he was in for a very lonely lonely life. Nidhi had taken all the sunshine and laughter with her.

He alone was responsible for his situation today. But, tomorrow... How was he going to get through tomorrow. It the day of their divorce hearing. Ashutosh prayed harder than he ever had before. He prayed to god to give him one more chance with her. Just one more chance to make it right, to show her that she really was his world, to show all the things that he had never shown her before. Please God just one more chance, thats all I ask.

He would be seeing today, her for the first time in six weeks. Since the day he had disregarded her repeated desperate attempts to stop him from leaving. How would he face her and ask the very same thing that she had then? How could he possibly ask her not to leave him? Moreover would she even listen? He had not! But, he hoped she would, because he knew that she was a better person than he was. His Nidhi had a very forgiving heart, and a very generous nature. Ashutosh just hoped that it would extend to him again, one last time. After this he would never give her any cause to doubt his feelings or him ever again! Surely she would not be able to resist him when they were facing each other. She loved him! And when she saw how genuinely sorry he was, she would forgive him, and forget this ridiculous idea. He Hoped!!

He spotted her the moment she stepped out of the car. She was a vision, and a sight for sore eyes. Ashutosh could not take his eyes off of her, he was like a thirsty man who had just come out of the dessert, and been given a drink of water. When she was close enough for him to see her face clearly, Ashutosh noted that even though this was Nidhi, this was not HIS Nidhi. This Nidhi did not have a smile on her face at the sight of him, nor was there any love in her eyes. In fact this nidhi, did not even glance in his direction, she walked by him as if he were a stranger, someone whom she had never seen before in her life.

Ashutosh ran after her,

--Nidhi. Nidhi...Can I talk to you for a moment, please...Just for a minute.

She stopped and slowly turned to look at him. The look in her eyes made him flinch. The were hard, without any softness to them at all.

And her tone, well that was colder still.

--I think that we said everything that we needed to say the day you left Dr. Ashutosh. I don't think that there is anything else left to say. Is there?

--Nidhi, please talk to me. I know that we can sort out these misunderstandings, if only yo...

--Oh NO Dr. Ashutosh. There are no misunderstandings between us, not any more. In fact there were before, but the day you left inspite of my repeated pleas, and then ignored my threat, about the consequences not being good. The day that happened all my misunderstandings were cleared up. And everything was finally crystal clear. You had no place for me in your life. I would always come second to every waif, and orphan, and every friend you've ever had, for all of our lives together. No Dr. Ashutosh, there are definitely no more misunderstandings between us, any more. You have cleared any and all doubts that I have ever had, regarding me and my place in your life, and in your eyes.

I loved you, and placed you before all others, even my own family. While you placed everyone else who was not even related to you, over me.

I have realized, the hard way, that I would always be second. That my feelings bore no consequence to you. Your obsessions, and your insecurities, won out over my love. But I cannot live like that. I am sorry. I need something more out of my life. I thought that it was you, but its not, and I need to move on now. I cannot let you repeatedly, treat me like a doormat. To be used and forgotten according to your convenience.

--Nidhi, thats not true. I love you. I love you very much, even more than my life. I...

but she cut him offf

--But not more than your friendship. Apparently.!

So, how is Dr. Mallika, by the way?

--She passed away Nidhi.

--Oh. I am sorry to hear that Dr. Ashutosh. My condolences to you. I know that she meant a lot to you.

--Not as much as you Nidhi. You misunderstood. I never loved her.

--Yes you did Dr. Ashutosh, you just never realized it. We all love our friends, you did too. Its that simple. I know that you loved me too, just not more than her. Any way, thats all water under the bridge. So, how is her baby. Or, should I say your baby.

Ashutosh was stunned, how did she know?

--But how did you...

--How did I know? Simple! I knew Dr. Mallika. You were the only one who didn't. Why do you think that she called you there before she died?

I can't believe that you are that naive Dr. Ashutosh.

--What are you trying to say here Nidhi?

--I am not TRYING to say, I AM saying that she called you there because this was her last play in trying to separate us. She knew exactly what to do, and what buttons to push. She knew that you would go running the minute you got her call. And even though I would not like it, you would disregard that. If that did not cause problems, then her child definitely would. She knew that I would not be able to accept her child in our lives, and you would never give it up. So, you see either way it was a win win situation for her. Well, I spared myself the bad name of being blamed for transferring my hatred for her to her child. I d want ever want to be saddled with that kind of a sin. So I let her win in the first Part of her plan. The minute you left, I severed all my ties with you.

--Nidhi, please don't do this. I will do anything you want. Please. Just name it. Nidhi you cant leave me like this, how will I live without you?

--Dr. Ashutosh you have always lived without me. Remember when I refused to have a child. That night you told me, that even my love had failed to dispel your loneliness. That even with me in your life there were dark recesses in your being that I had never and could never touch. Do You Remember that? How do you think I felt then? And for what, just because I wanted to have a bit of time, before I became a mother? I had never refused to give you children, I just wanted a little time with you, alone, before that. Was that such a big crime? You did give me the time, I'll grant you that. But you never once let me forget what a big sacrifice you had made for me. First with Mallika and her pregnancy, then "That Khushi", and then with Mallika's baby. No Dr. Ashutosh I don't think that we were even ever together. And supposing that I did agree to forgive and even forget, whatever happened. How long will that last, till the next stray orphan, or friend in need comes around, and I am once again relegated to the back burners, on the pretext that I am immature, and don't understand your PURE motives. Chalo, usse bhi bhool jao. But what about the child, I can not live with the constant reminder of Dr. Mallika in our lives. Will you give him up for me? I doubt it! And even supposing you do, how long before you throw it in my face that you gave the child of your dearest friend up for me. Not very long Dr. Ashutosh. Any way, all of this is irrelevant and hypothetical. Because neither are you ever going to change, and this time I am determined not to let myself be swayed. You have made your choices Dr. Ashutosh, and whether good or bad, you must learn to live with the consequences. Now Its my turn. I will make my decisions, and then depending on those choices, I will also bear the consequences, Be It Good Or Be It Bad. But they will be my choices.

With that, and without giving him so much as a chance to say anything in his defense, she turned around and went into the courthouse.

That had been the last meeting between them. Nidhi had even refused to look his way in the court room. The judge had rendered the verdict, that the divorce would be final, in six months on grounds of incompatibility unless they changed their minds. After that Nidhi had once again walked out without a backward glance. The day their divorce was finalized was one of the worst days of his life. For him his life, such as it was ended on that day. And there was no else he could blame for that, other than himself, not even Nidhi. He had not given her any other choice. Nidhi had been right,he finally admitted to himself, he had essentially driven her to the breaking point. Kami usski taraf se nahin thi, galati ki bhi pehel uss se nahin hui thi. He had been wrong to put the blame on her age, and supposed immaturity. In fact out of the two of them, he had been the immature and irresponsible one. He realized now just how much. A marriage needed two people to make it work, and in theirs Nidhi had done the lions share of the work, with not that much return. He had also done a little bit, but in retrospect, he admitted, it had been far too little. Their relationship had withered and died due to his inability to balance his marriage with his ideals and principals. His arrogance, at being the male, and being Nidhi's husband

Had led him to where he found himself today. ALONE! Not even Mallika's son had been able to fill the void Nidhi had left in his life. Even though he loved the child, somehow he could not bring himself to fully accept him into his heart. He had never been able to forget that this child was the reason that Nidhi was not in his life today. He had thought, once upon a time, that a child would fill the void in his life, be it any child. Whether the street orphan Khushi, or even the one he was now responsible for Rahul. But the sad part was that, it had not been true. The only child that could have given him any satisfaction at all would have been theirs, but it had taken too long for him to come to that conclusion. And now all he had of their time together were the memories, and shattered dreams of what could have been a beautiful life.

It had been almost 3 years since the day that Ashutosh had left her, once again, to go running at Mallika's call for help. And 2 and a 1/2 years since their divorce had been finalized. Nidhi still remembered how broken and totally shattered Ashutosh had looked. She remembered how much control she had to exert over herself and her emotions, at not break down in front of him, or give in to his heartfelt pleas for forgiveness. She had wanted to, so much. It had taken all her strength to remain firm, in front of him. But, she also remembered how her control had broken the moment she had reached home. She had almost done into depression and had a breakdown. If not for the support of her family, and Anji, she probably would have. But little by little Nidhi, had picked up the pieces of her broken life and shattered heart, and had learned to move on. And now after so long she was moving back home, to lucknow. Her father was not keeping well, and needed her. Baba had always supported her decisions, and stood by her. Now he needed her, so Nidhi had not hesitated at Dadi Bua tentative suggestion that, it had been a long time now since her divorce, and maybe it was time that she moved back home. Of course it was, she acknowledged. She had been very selfish thinking only about her self, she should have thought of her Dadi Bua and her father. They were not young anymore, and she was their only child. It was her duty to look after the both of them now. So she had handed her resignation at AIIMS, and applied for a position at CCHH in lucknow. She might be over her marriage, and breakup with her ex husband, but she was no masochist. There was no way she would have applied for or excepted a position at KGH. No, it was better for both her and her ex this way, she thought.

A lot had happened since she had moved to Delhi. She had given her PG entrance exams and had been accepted into AIIMS, where she had completed her residency in Pediatrics. And after she had finished she had been offered a position as junior doctor. Over the past year she had worked really hard and started to make a name for her self in the department of pediatrics. She was sure that in another couple of years she even have been offered a position as Senior Doc. Any way, all that was a moot point now, as she was moving. The consolation was, however, that with the recommendations she had received from her superiors, and the department, on the quality of her work and dedication, she had been offered a position as a senior doc in CCHH.

So, she certainly had moved up on the professional front, and as far as the personal aspect of her life was concerned, well she had moved on in that also. She would never forget Ashutosh, he was her first love. And she supposed that there was a part of her heart that would always belong to him. But the saying that everything gets easier with time, was true. She had not only moved ahead with her life, but had also found someone special. Someone whom she knew, loved her, and her only. Some one who placed her above all else, someone who cherished her and wanted nothing more in life than to be with her. And right now She was waiting for him to arrive. He was moving with her to lucknow.

Nidhi had a smile on her face, as she thought about him. He had brought the happiness and laughter back into her life, and had helped her get over her pain. For it had not been the kind of love at first sight, that she had felt for Ashutosh, more a gradual transition from friendship to love. Nidhi had never thought that she could ever love anyone else in this life, and that love, true love could only happen once, she had been wrong. Not only could it happen again, but in ways it was deeper and stronger than the previous time. That was because, one knew the pain

that came with the breaking of the first relationship, and so ended up valuing the second chance at life even more. And that was exactly how she felt. Life had given her a second chance at happiness, and there was no way she was giving it up. And now she was waiting for her man to...Nidhi was in the middle of her thoughts, when the doorbell to her apartment rang, and she ran to answer it, and with a big smile on her face, she threw the door open.
