Premise: Sai and Virat confess their feelings in their room. They hugged and they kissed. Now they apologize and learn.
"I am sorry Virat Sir", said Sai again for the umpteenth time.
They are leaning against each other's foreheads to catch a breath after kissing for an eternity.
Virat nodded his head. "I am sorry Sai. I was too harsh to you in the hospital and later. I was too hurt.", he apologized and also pleaded her to understand his hurt.
"I understand Virat Sir. You expected trust from me. And I failed you.", she said drawing her nose. "I was so scared and was not thinking straight. That Pakhi didi said I created space for the third person and that I will remain only your friend, so you will go and find love else where", she explained. "And when you were ignoring me for that Sruthi repeatedly I believed in her words. If you see logically, I am at no fault", she defended.
Virat smiled and assured her "Yes, you are not at fault. I was only seeing you as my best friend...like Sunny...but I should have wondered why you are suddenly so overreacting and jealous.", he said grabbing her face. "You were never this jealous around Pakhi over an year, were you?", he said trying to remember if there was anytime she was jealous of Pakhi around him.
"I was always jealous. always. I never liked her coming to our room and speak in between us. But at that I thought you let her talk because you...", she stopped not able to complete the sentence and hugged him.
"I am sorry Sai. It is not definitely easy to be around her. I always underestimated my value in your life so I never made an attempt to work more to understand you when it comes to Pakhi. I only tried to present myself to you with out my past but forgot that I am the one who tied you with me and my past together.", he reasoned out brushing her soft hair with his fingers. "I should have been more clearer to you in words with Pakhi, but trust me Sai I could not have said anything more about Sruthi than I had to you already. By the time, I wanted to reveal you everything after Saha's birth, you came to know it in a wrong way.", he defended his ruthless stance of not divulging any information to his wife.
"I understand now Virat sir. You did tell me you are risking your job and that you are in trouble but my mind was only thinking about the affair, I believed it, before you could explain to me. Otherwise, I could never imagine myself overlooking your words about the mortal danger you were placed in. never", she hugged him tight.
"I am yours Sai. From the day I married you. I was initially tied only to this relationship we got into but later it was only to you that I am bounded to. In my heart and mind, you are my love and wife. No relationship, whether present or devoid would take away that bond I made with you in my heart." he said nullifying the divorce ordeal between them with his words.
Sai choked a little more hearing those words from him and hugged him tighter.
To lighten her up, Virat pulled her back and asked her whether she enjoyed the Holi better than last year and she nodded her head rigorously.
"Do you want to see the photos Virat sir.", she squealed with excitement.
Virat moved away smiling silently and sat in the big chair in their room. and asked her to bring the phone to him.
Sai deligently took her phone and came to the chair, only to be pulled onto his lap. She landed in a thud and smiled coyly.
"You cant imagine how many times I wanted to cradle you like this in my lap", he told her earnestly. "thousands of times. Every evening when I come back, I wanted to hear about your day making you sit like this and share mine too", he said cuddling her.
Sai is overcome with shyness so she diverted the topic, by opening up the whatsapp group on her phone.
She opened the family group to show the pictures shared by Sia but Virat stopped her from rolling any further down.
"What?! they removed you also from the group?!", he asked. "Unbelievable! I thought...", he was interrupted by her sobs which she is now trying to control in vain. She just hugged him crying into his neck.
Virat understood what could have happened and let her cry to her heart's content. Then started to speak softly.
"I was happy they chose you over me...really Sai.", he said not being sure whether this statement would pacify her or break her even more "I mean I thought you earned a family...", he tried to gather appropriate words
Sai nodded her head sideways still crying and clinging to him unable to stop her tears.
"I didnt Virat Sir. You are my family. You are the only family.", she sobbed. "Everyone else here is yours. If you are with me, they will be with me, otherwise I am the same Sai you married an year back.", she cried more loudly now "Not even, A..ai....", she choked.
Virat's eyes pooled up when she said those final words about her being an orphan and how his Aai abandoned her. He went through the same pain till few days back, even though he knows his pain is slightly different and slightly more than Sai's. Last few weeks have taught him enough about life. So, he tried to make her understand life which he himself relearnt with a new outlook.
"Sai, look here", he said pulling her face up and clearing it from the overflowing tears."My parents left me alone when I needed them the most. My brothers did not stand by me when I explained my situation. My extended family suspected me without giving me any benefit of doubt. They all knew me from the time I was born. Then, who are you to them?", he summarized the truth which is a harsh reality.
"They can turn against you, anytime. Imagine me going through this misunderstanding from my own family, then you will not find yourself any different.", he tried to make her feel that he also sailed the same ship as hers.
"People change with circumstances, given the situations and the information they have. People also falter just like I did with you and you did with me. That does''nt mean they are bad or they dont love you. You are the one person I cannot imagine my life without, but I am the one who pushed you to death twice. Things happen, Sai. What we have control on is how we respond to them. You learnt a lesson now in this whole ordeal, didnt you?", he paused clearing her nose and invoking a slight smile from her and continued.
"That people crumble down in pressure. Aai crumbled down when she saw her Son on the deathbed, and left you. It is normal. People fail you. I might fail you in future.", he said invoking a surprised look on Sai's face.
Stroking her cheek slightly he reiterated the uncertainity called life "Yes, I might fail you as a husband or a friend. But what remains with you always is your self, the person who you wanted to be. The Sai Joshi I met in GC an year back. The girl who loved her father, and who stood by the truth. She should always remain with you. And the Virat Chavan who stood by you that day to protect you will also be there irrespective of who he is to you today." he said smilingly.
"This Virat Chavan is a Khadoos, jealous and demanding husband but that Virat Chavan admired you as a person and wanted to protect you till his last breath, so he will be always there for you till the end. That is my promise.", he said kissing her forehead and filing her with confidence.
NOTE: I am pissed off at the entire Chavanese. Especially Aai. So instead of redeeming them, I want to reduce them to nothing in Sai's life. Parents always love their children. So Aai being Aai to Virat is normal. So I let her remain just that. She is not mahan and that is the truth. I made Virat speak all thiese words because he also went through the unthinkable of being abandoned by the family and learnt some good life lessons. Being a decade older than Sai and a wise man (lets give him credit where it is due), he for sure would have learnt his lessons from the ordeal and hence shared his learnings with Sai as her mentor and guide.!
