Part 5 : Family
In Nisha opened the letter and started reading it.
Hey wifey Nisha,
I know that we have a few more weeks for our contract to end but I had to do this. I saw, how happy you were today when Viraj was there. I don't want to stand in the way.
I found out who the boy in the photo is, who my brother is. It's Viraj himself. It came as a shock to me too but then I realized that my brother never had anyone in his life whom he can actually call family. I have my mom but we've seen him...he's alone but then there's you. You are the one person who can be with him and I can't be happy knowing that I style you from him.
I know that you'll come looking for me but please don't. I'm going to follow my dreams and I want you to follow yours. I want you to start your training and be happy with my brother. Tell him everything. Tell him I meant no harm.
Kabir
Nisha collapsed on the floor with the letter crumpled in her hand. She couldn't control the tears and cried out loudly. She couldn't tell him that she loves him. The piercing pain in her heart seems to never cease. She lost the love of her life yet again.
After a couple of minutes she got up and decided to go after Kabir but stopped herself. She knew that she might come in the way of his dreams. What if he gives up London for her. He might regret it later and she couldn't have that. She couldn't stop him. Nisha cry out loudly once again making the walls of the c house and her c heart echo.

The last thing Viraj ever wanted to see in his life was Nisha breaking down in front of him. He thought that with all the misunderstandings out of the way Nisha and Kabir will lead a happy life instead Nisha came to his house with the shocking news about Kabir being his brother. At first he didn't believe her but then she told him about how Dadji must have died to keep this fact a secret.
Nisha explained that she can't stop Kabir. She needs to let him live his dreams. She told him that Kabir always wanted to go to Delhi before leaving. She knew he's going to go there but she had made up her mind to not come on the way of his career and dreams.
Once Nisha left Viraj had a number of unanswered questions about himself, his mother and Kabir. The questions seem to swallow him. He needed answers and he needed to see Nisha happy so he decided to be the one to stop Kabir.

Kabir heard the announcement that his bus would leave in a couple of minutes. He took his seat and waited for the engine to start. Just then he felt someone take his luggage. He was about to yell at that person out of frustration when he realized that it was Viraj.
"Get down", Viraj ordered and got off the his with all of Kabir's luggage.
" what are you doing? ", Kabir asked," I'm leaving for Delhi. "
"Not without your wife you're not"
"What are you talking about? I know that you know about the contract by now. You both will be happy together. I'm just getting out of the way."
Kabir picked up the luggage again.
"If you're my brother you won't leave", Viraj said.
Kabir stopped dead on his tracks. He looked at the elder Rathore in shock.
" Nisha told me everything ", he said," don't leave her. "
"But you love her", Kabir said," You'll keep her happy. "
"No. Her happiness is with you, not me."
"But she loves you."
Viraj hit his forehead with his palm.
"She loves you", he said," She wants you to stay with her forever. She didn't want you to leave."
"Then why isn't she here?", Kabir questioned.
"She doesn't want to stand in the way of your dreams", came the reply," But I won't both of you to chase your dreams ,together."
Kabir stared at his brother, surprised.
"You are sacrificing your love for me?!", he asked.
" When you are from a royal family you don't have people who'll actually bond with you. ", he explained, " but I have that chance with you. You are the only one left as family. The only hope for me to be with my mother again. I'm not giving up so easily. "
Kabir have a huge smile.
" My family is whole again ", he said.
" Not without your wife ", Viraj said.
The elder one gave an envelope to Kabir.
" Go get her and give her this."
Kabir read the letter inside and his eyes welled up with tears. He hugged his brother.
" I have a family again ", Viraj thought.
