*Rabir FF: True Love...Note, Chap 55 @ pg 143, 145 (2/1) - Page 78

Seema just too much! Rachna tell truth but still she hear bad thing from Seema. Good to see Kabir coming for Rachna.

How you do it Nivi? How you write perfect? Last update was too beautiful! Rachna just want to be with Kabir. She no care about other thing. Karan finally meet dad. Hug described beautifully and Karan sleep in dad lap too sweet. Nicely done.

Congrats for 100 pgs I forget before. I also really like this line.

"Their eyes met again and a wave of silent understanding passed between them, words no longer required for communication"
Show how much understanding between Rabir. They no need to talk.

"her fingers twisted with his in a way that it looked as though they were meant to be just like that, like they belonged together"
Nice. This one good image I can see in front of me. Rabir always stay together.

Last para is best part of chapter. I really like end line.
"Rachna didn't say anything; she didn't have to. The pained expression with which she had looked at him twice today was enough to speak volumes about what was bothering her."
Kabir understand everything about Rachna just by reading eye. He love her too much. Don't make Rachna cry like that. Hope she smile soon.

I like a lot Nivi. Update next one fast and I still no get your pm. Add me to list please.

I think I have single handedly made everyone hate Seema even more now. 😆
Of course our hero is coming to save the day. It couldn't happen any other way.

Perfect? By no means Poonam but thank you for that HUGE compliment. 😳
Thank you for reading and commenting. Glad you like my writing.

Thanks for the detailed comments! I really enjoy reading them.
I said this earlier in one of my replies but the emotional things do come easily to me so that's why this chapter flowed as well as it did. It was not perfect by any means but it was one of my favorites in terms of depth and emotion. You pointed out some of my favorite parts of the update as well. Yes, Kabir is the PERFECT guy, maybe too perfect lol. But he is fictional so I can make him as I perfect as I want right? 😛 Point noted; I will try to make Rachna cry less in future updates. 😆

Will wait for it. Thank you.

Chapter 44:

"We could think about adopting."

Rachna's breath hitched as she heard the last of the five words. A fresh set of tears were unleashed from her eyes and they dropped off of her cheeks unobstructed directly onto the back of Kabir's hand. He didn't wipe them away, neither from his hand, nor from her face, letting them fall freely.

"Even IVF is an option. Whatever you want sweetheart. I was planning to bring it up with you after the wedding."

Rachna lifted her head from Kabir's shoulder and looked into his eyes. She could see only warmth and compassion. He lifted his free hand and wiped the tears from her cheeks, finishing with a feathery kiss on each eyelid.

"But you need to understand Rachna that having a child isn't what defines us. All that truly matters is you and me, that's all we need to make us."

Rachna looked at him deeply, as though she was searching for something.

"How did you know? I didn't even sa..."

"You didn't have to say it. Your eyes said it all. It's the only thing in the world that can make you this upset."

She looked down at their intertwined hands and wiped the wetness of her tears off of the back of Kabir's hand.

"I'm sorry about what I said earlier. I shouldn't have." She whispered.

"It's okay. You have every right to."

He responded to her nonchalantly, almost as though he didn't care, almost as though he wasn't affected by her words. Almost. The slight tremble in his voice told her otherwise. She looked towards his face just in time to see him wipe away the wetness from the corner of his eye and hide himself behind a weak smile.

"I don't have the right to Kabir. I was wrong. You deserve to know the answer to every single one of your questions. You deserve to know why Gayatri did all that she did. You deserve to know why your father left you. You deserve all of those answers."

He kissed the back of her hand and gave her a smile, a genuine one this time. She caressed his cheek and innocently touched her forehead to his, leaning in for a delicate kiss. They stood up, keeping the hands locked together, and walked into the house, where Sneha sat waiting to speak to Rachna.

"Rachna beta, talk to me. Tell me what Seema said that made you so upset. I promise you, Akash and I will go to Indore and convince your aunts and uncles beta."

Rachna shook her head. "I'm okay Sneha mausi. She didn't say anything that I haven't heard before. I guess there's just been so much going on that I got affected by her words more than I should have."

Sneha placed her hands on Rachna's shoulders and pulled her into an embrace, wanting to remove all sorrows and burdens away from her daughter's life, praying that everything soon returns to normal.

------------------------

"Papa, you have to come with me. Kabir bhai is going to be so happy to see you again. Chalo papa."

Karan grabbed his father's hand and pulled him to a standing position. He began walking towards the door when he felt a force of resistance pull back against him.

"Karan, seeing you today was just a magical moment, the happiest one in the last 13 years. But beta, I can't come with you. And you must promise me that you will say nothing to Kabir about this meeting of ours."

Karan shook his head in disbelief. "No. I can't believe you're saying all this. You're refusing to come with me right now. Why papa? Why?"

Prakash turned away from his son and walked towards the window on the wall behind him. "There are some things that you and Kabir need to figure out first Karan. I will come to you both the very day that you manage to do that."

"You've changed papa. You're not the same papa who used to live only for his sons. You've changed."

"You change for two reasons my son. Either you learn enough that you want to, or you've been hurt enough that you have to. It wasn't a decision that I willingly took Karan; to leave you and Kabir by yourselves. It was a decision that I was forced to take, a decision that I didn't have a choice in."

"But you have a choice now. At this moment in time, you're willingly choosing to go away from us."

The gravity of his son's words hit him hard. Prakash blinked back his tears, unwilling to become weakened by the salt water. "You're right Karan. This time I am choosing to go away from you."

"I've felt the pain of losing you for all these years papa. But Kabir bhaiyya, he...he lost a part of himself 13 years ago with the news of your death. You have the choice now to return your son's life to him and you're choosing to keep him dead instead. You're not my papa, you can't be. You're just Prakash Ujjwal Tripathi, the shrewd businessman, who looks only at his profit."

"Karan it's not like that. I love you beta. I love you and Kabir both dearly. But you two have to take a few more steps on your own before I can come back beta."

"Your revenge from Gayatri is worth more to you today than your son's life Mr. Tripathi. Am I right? That's what this is all about?You've been sitting in the back seat, controlling me and bhai with a remote, like this is some sort of video game. You've monitored our lives and operated them to your liking. Directing Pathak ji to come to us, manipulating those fake divorce papers between bhai and bhabhi, sending us those messages from the unknown number to tell us about Raju; all of that was you right? What more is it that you want us to do though? Just tell me outright and I'll do the dirty work myself. What do you want us to figure out?"

"Yes Prakash. Why don't you just tell him outright what it is you plan to do? It'll certainly make your job much easier. And perhaps you'll manage to finish in less than 13 years this time around."

The three men looked towards the door to see the source of the spoken words and were shocked to find Gayatri standing at the room's entrance with a smirk on her face.

"Some resolve you must have had to live Prakash that you survived a lethal injection of pentaorbital. But who dug you out from the coffin? Don't tell me. Pathak? Was it you? Anyways, don't disappoint your son anymore Prakash. Come, let's get you out of this drab old place. How about we head home? We'll even call your other son there. Delightful! It'll be just like a family reunion."

------------------

"I should have figured it out much sooner. The signs were pointing to you being behind all the mess ups. Seriously though Prakash, tell me how you managed to survive that accident and the poison. I thought I had a fool-proof plan to send you off this Earth. Or wait, why don't you call Kabir first? I'm sure he'd love to hear this heroic tale of yours as well."

Gayatri held out her phone towards Prakash, offering it to him with a taunting smile. They stood in the middle of the den at the Tripathi mansion. The rays of the bright afternoon sun entered the room through the large window and scattered into a multiple beams as they hit the crystal chandelier that hung from the ceiling. The light beams illuminated Gayatri's face, making her appear even more sinister and threatening than she already sounded. Prakash turned his face away from Gayatri, causing her to erupt with laughter.

"I always loved that about you. Your ego, your pride; I admired you for it. You're standing under my foot now, yet you still have the audacity to turn your nose up at me."

Before Gayatri could continue, the ringing of Karan's phone interrupted her. She walked to the side of the room, where he silently stood next to Pathak, just as he pulled out his phone. She grabbed it from his hands before he could see the identity of the caller.

"Oh look. Smart lad he is; called us himself."

Swiping across to the screen to accept the call, Gayatri put the phone on speaker mode.

"Karan? Where are you? Did you find the place?"

"He found a lot more than just the building Kabir."

"Hello? Who is this?"

"Kabir, I'm a bit miffed. You didn't recognize your own mother?"

"You? Where's Karan?"

"Bhai I'm here. Don't worry, I'm fine." Karan called out in the background.

"See, he's fine. Now, I highly suggest you yourself come and see what Karan has found. We'll all be waiting for your arrival. I hope you haven't forgotten the way to your house. Oh, and I think it might be advisable for you to bring that tramp with you too."

Gayatri hung up the phone before Kabir could answer back with a fitting reply. Handing the phone back to Karan, Gayatri walked herself back to where Prakash was standing.

"Can I get you anything my dear husband? Are you still fond of Merlot? I just opened a bottle the other day and it must be chilling in the wine cooler. Radha! Bring in some refreshments for the guests."

Emphasizing the word guests, Gayatri seated herself comfortably on the plush sofa.

"Oh come on guys, don't be so formal. Have a seat. Grab a drink. Treat it like your own house. Oh wait, it is. Actually let me correct myself, it was."

Laughing at her own cleverness, Gayatri poured herself some of the wine that the servant brought in. She sipped it slowly as she amusedly observed each of the three men that stood in front of right now, patiently waiting for the arrival of the two most anticipated guests on the list.
