👏 Great chapter Vinnie.

I love how Vikram helped her with the furniture. I hope she does not find out anytime soon.

Aditya giving advice to Vikram huh? Wow. But I am glad that his family has given their approval for Vini relationship.

Fantastic chapter Vinnie

A rationallly thinking Sugni accepting that while he may have set the ball rolling, she is responsible for her choices and the mess her life became - a sight to behold for sure

A grown up Adi who can think beyond himself and his pain WOW

TVS was never going to be able to completely walk away from her. He said she would not see him if she did not want. He is keeping his word - she is seeing his car not him.😆

This is the TVS I recognise.Shrewed, thinking outside the box to acheive his objective.

I am sure if and when Sugni finds out that the Sweepstake is him buying things for her, she will be angry but this rationally thinking Sugni will see that all he was doing was helping her, making her life more comfortable with no expectation of anything in return - I hope!!!

I hope fate gives them a helping hand - something should happen that will force Sugni to ask him for help. They need to start interacting with each other in the here and now!!!!

TVS thinks he has his family's blessing - hmmm wait until they find out that she has a illigimate daughter. He may find out that they are not as supportive as he thinks. Lets see.

Cannot wait for Mondy's chapter.

Hi Vinnie. Completed chapters 1-4. Brilliant concept. Emotion intact. 1st Chapter,I am glad it started from the Sardha Kai. What puzzles me is why Rewa returned? I don't get her point. Chapters 2-4 Thank God Aditya is married. Once again I am inlove with Amrita. So Rewa decides to divorce. Hmmm so easy- hope her bhoot doesn't return for haunting hour. I knew Vijai Singh would leave Sugni. But what shocked me was Shanti. When she was intoduced I had this feeling its Sugni's daughter why else would she be here. Then Rita came. My heart was like Oh?? New lady love?? Then Sugni came - I was like Damn I knew it!! Sugni's behaviour towards Vickram was expected. It is like she wants to embrace him but her mind and body isn't responding. Vickram is broken, and lost but deep down it's his fault anyway. Being a man, he should have picked the pieces of his heart and fix it back together. Living like a zombie doesn't help u or the people around. Let's see how he manages to win Sugni's trust for him.

Chapter 6

"OH MY GOD! WOW" Sugni breathe as she watched the furniture off loaded from the truck by the men.

"If you would sign here Ma'am" The lady, Chan said as she handed Sugni the delivery form.

"I won all of this?" She asked. She was seeing it but could not believe it. Looking at the beautiful burgundy living room set that looked soft and comfortable. The workmanship on it was exquisite. That must have cost more than her stove! In addition to all of that, there was a microwave oven, a coffee pot and a toaster. Things she never dreamed of owning yet alone buying.

"Yes Ma'am this is all yours. "

"How come we never heard about this ...I can't recall..." Rita piped in as she looked at them. She came out when she saw the truck.

Chan looked at her as she smiled.

"Do you shop at the Super furniture store?" She asked.

Well no but...for this big of a promotion..." Rita stuttered

"See this was a special draw, a way to give back, we did a random draw of our data base of all our customers and Ms. Mathur's name came up. Next time be sure to shop with us you might be lucky!" Chan said. Rita nodded.

"Ma'am I would like to get the payment contract for your stove so that I can cancel it as soon as I get back to the office!" She asked.

"Ahh Sure..." Sugni said as she went inside to retrieve the documents.

"What are you going to do with your current set?" Chan Asked.

"Oh that has to go back to my boss...I guess she will want it back. I'll get have to get someone to move it." Sugni wondered whom she could ask. She decided to ask Rita if she knew any one. Knowing Ms. Flam, she would want Sugni to arrange her own transport.

"OHH Where is that?"

"Its up on Palm drive" She said

"If you like we can return it for you." Chan offered. "I mean your place is small and there does not seem to be a place to store it."

"But you guys can't! I mean is that allowed?" Sugni asked. She never thought they would be that accomadating.

"Normally no but it is closing time, Palm drive is not far from here" She turned to the guys. "Boys would you be some darlings and drop the old furniture up to Palm drive...Please?' She smiled. The movers agreed.

"Oh thank you...how much would it cost?" She asked.

"Oh no ,no don't worry, it's no extra trouble as it is on the way back to the store. And this is their last delivery so their time is up."

"Bu..."

"It's ok...just call up your boss and let them know we are coming to look out. OK.?"

"Ok Thank you. You are very kind."

"You are welcome!" She smiled.

"Mommy that is so preety! Is it ours?" Shanti asked wide eyes as she looked on.

"Yes it is yours..." Chan answered.

Soon the new furniture was unloaded and the old one packed up on the truck . Shanti was waving good-bye to the truck, jumping up and down in excitement.

"You are very lucky! " Rita said, a few minutes later as they all sat in the new set. "Oh wow this is comfortable! Ohh and it has that brand new smell," she said.

Sugni laughed at her expression..

"Well it's a good thing...at least you don't have to listen to the old bag gripe about you taking care of her broken up set any more..." She said. Sugni nodded. She passed her hands over the soft upholstery enjoying the feel of it.

"So did you see him again?" Rita asked. Suddenly

"See who?"

"You know who, Vickram."'

"Uh no why would I?" Sugni asked.

"I don't know, maybe it was the way he was looking at you...or the fact that he showed up after...I mean it is obvious he is interested..." She said.

"No i-i-it's nothing like that...he was just making sure she was ok." She said evasively.

"It did not look like nothing...I mean now that I think about it you were a bit flustered seeing him as well that day and..." She began speculating again.

"And I was scared to death about Shanti...It is nothing...Listen how about we make some coffee in my new pot...do you know how to use it?." She asked in an attempt to distract her and change the topic from Vickram. It seems no matter how hard she tried not to think of him, something always reminds her...

Sugni sat in her quite living room later that night, as she enjoyed a cup of tea. Shanti was playing quietly on the floor with some dolls. She had the book Vickram game her opened as she was "teaching" her dolls the words.

Sugni laughed as she listened to the lesson. The carefree innocents of the child, she thanked God that Shanti was so far a happy and content little girl. She prayed that she held on to that as long as she could.

Sugni looked out the window at the quite street her eyes falling on the car parked obliquely opposite to her building. Oh No! There he was again.

Well something's had not changed in the past six years, he was still a stubborn man, who would not give up easily

She could not carry on like this, deciding that ignoring him was not going to work Sugni stood up.

"Uhh Shanti...I will be right back ok ...I am just going outside. Why don't you pack away your toys now and get start getting ready for bed. I'll be in in a few minutes." She said as she went to the door.

"'kay" Shanti answered.

Vickram looked at the quite building. Everyone was inside. He wondered what she was doing, if she enjoyed "prize" Thank God Chan told him it all went smoothly and she accepted the story at face value.

So here, he was again just looking at her building, doing nothing productive in his plan to be closer to her, but like a magnet, he was drawn here, knowing that she was just a few feet away. Logic told him he would not be able to do this for long, as he was sure she would notice at some time.

The fact that she did not yet was mildly surprising to him. He knew she did she would most likely raise hell on him !

Looking at his watch he noticed the time almost 8:30 .P.M. Well he doubted he would see her again tonight.

Suddenly there was a knock on the window of his car and Vickram looked in shock as he saw her standing there. How ironic, he was looking out for her and did not even see her approach he was that lost in thought!

Sending down the window of his car, he looked at her.

"What are you doing here Thakur Saab?" Sugni asked

I was just. I um..." he began.

She shook her head as she sighed. "Please don't do this. We talked about this, leave me alone!" She said.

Sugni...wait...can we talk ...please." He said

She simply stared at him

"Please... for a few minutes ...have a seat."

Sugni looked at her door, as she contemplated for a few moments,. She knew Rita was a busy body, who was already speculating about Vickram, if she saw him here or Sugni talking with him she would bombard her with questions, deciding it would be easier to talk to him and send him on his way she opened the door and took a seat in the passenger side of the car.

"Sugni I..." He began.

"Why are you doing this?" She said. "I already told you naa all I want is a peaceful life here. I thought you understood that, yet you have been hanging around here now for the longest while. Yes." She said noting the look on his face. "Yes I have noticed you, and I thought if I ignored you, you would take the hint and stop it. All you are doing is making a spectacle of yourself. Please Thakur Saab. I don't want to be any more food for the gossip mills here as I just moved in . This is a new start for me, and I really , really don't want any trouble." She said.

"Sugni I don't want to be any trouble for you." He answered.

"Then why?" She asked

"Because...because I can't..." Vickram blurted. All plans of taking it slow and steady crashing and burning right there. He could not do that with her. The truth was he could not even consider her less than anything to her other than his life partner. Although he was her well-wisher, should she choose someone else over him he'd let her go but he would not be around to see it. Same way as he could not sit here and lie and say all he wanted was to be her friend because he would somehow end up crossing that line. So he layed his cards on the table. He would tell her how he felt. "Sugni I have tried, ever since I saw you again, all I think about is you, I can't concentrate on anything. I know...I know... I hurt you. But Sugni you are the only woman I ever loved, the only one my heart beats for. And I can't pretend that I forgot that, I can't. By some strange sign, you are here, just a stone's throw from me. That has to mean something."

Sugni stared at him, dumbfounded. What was he saying? Her heart beat sped up...No... She shook her head blinking back her tears that she could not prevent from falling.

"I know I was the one who destroyed your trust, but Sugni I can earn it again. Just give us a chance. Please. I know you have every right hate me, but somewhere in there, maybe a little part of you still remembers what we had."

Taking his hand, he wiped her cheeks gently. His touch felt like home. She knew she should object but suddenly she could not find words. As always it was difficult arguing with him..

Vickram stared at her, as he looked into her eyes, through the light of the street lamp. The kernel of hope he was carrying around grew stronger, as she did not push him away. Maybe...Just Maybe...

"Sugni I spent the last six years hoping praying for a miracle, that one day, one day you would find it in your heart to forgive me. What we have together, what we had is something that happens once in a life time. From the moment I met you, until now no matter what happens my heart is bound to you forever irrevocably, undeniably, and it always will be." He said softly.

Her silence feeding that hope inside him. It was a positive sign...otherwise; she would be screaming at him now na? Vickram bent his head towards hers, bringing his face closer to hers, she felt his breath on her face, her heart was thundering in her chest as she closed her eyes. It was as though time had not passed between then at all. She felt his lips softly touch hers.

Visions of her daughter floated through her head, as she was instantly brought back to the reality that was her life. Taking her hands, she pushed him away.

"No!...Stop!" She said

"I'''Iam Am sorry...I am so sorry!" He said. "I did not mean..."

Calling on all her inner strength, she had. Sugni said.

"No...Thakur Saab, stop right there. You know you always had a way with words. And once I fell for them, for that false sense of sincerity. But Not any more..."

"Sugni..."

"No...You said your piece now listen to me... You said you love me...well you know what, yes, I loved you to , I thought that you were the one person on this earth I could have trusted. So much, that had you asked me I would have happily given you my life. Then you showed me how much that love meant by not trusting me enough with the truth, betraying that trust. You broke my not only my heart ...but my spirit as well, you made me dislike the one man I respected above all others. " Her tears flowed freely as feelings she suppressed for years came bubbling out. Hurt , anger, confusion.

"You say you want my forgiveness, I said it before and I say it again,...I have nothing against you. I don't. But what we had is over, rehashing it will serve no purpose, except bring hurt and pain to us both. You know something in all my experience with Thakurs, they always do things that would suit and benefit them , regardless of who was hurt in the process. I thought you were different, and it seems as though in the few years that has not changed. You claim you love me, yet you can't uphold my one request to you which is to leave me alone. No, you have to come here and try to convince me that I should love you back. It must be something in your blood for you to want to own everything naa" She scoffed as she shook her head sadly, "typical na...my wishes mean nothing. If you do love me as you claim you do, then you would respect my wish to be left alone to lead my life as I have been doing the last few years, quiet, peaceful and content." Joining her hands together she said, "I am begging you for the last time...please. Leave me alone.Stop following me around. Don't do this. "

Vickram placed his hands over hers, as he looked at her.. He listened to her and he realized he was indeed being very selfish in all his thoughts in waiting to get back together with her. In all of his happiness over the signs and wanting to make things right for her. He forgot a very important detail. Sugni's feeligs on the matter!.

Looking at her he already hurt her so much She been through hell because of him, and now he was causing her more. She should not shed another tear because of him. And he definitely did not want her begging him.

So he would , he would respect her wishes, and keep his distance. If she was happy with the way things were in her life at the moment , then he would not be the one to bring any further turmoil into her life.

He did not think it was possible for some one's heart to break twice, but it just did. Letting her go again after just finding her back was more painful than he imagined, but for her sake, he would.

"Don't!...I am sorry again I hurt you...you're right." He closed his eyes , that were suddenly filled with tears..."I have no right to be here, and I should respect your wishes. And I will. I won't bother you any more Sugni...you won't see me. I love you enough to stay away from you. I promise you this time I'll leave you alone. However this is a big city and it is daunting sometimes, and if ever you need me my door is always open, no matter what." He said.

They stared at each other sadly for a moment. Until she slowly turned and opened the car door, she stepped out.

"Good bye Sugni!"

"Good bye...Thakur Mallick." Vickram Smiled, it was six years since he herd that term !. And this was probably the last time he would. He watched as she walked into her apartment. Then he started his car and went home. Trying to come to terms with the fact that in this life he was destined to live life alone...without his love.
