Part 1

NYC the 'metropolitan' city of USA. It is know for it's unique fashion all around the world. If you want a future in the fashion business you got to be here. The city is at the center of international finance, politics, entertainment, and culture, and is one of the world's major global cities. It has a extraordinary collection of museums, galleries, performance venues, international corporations, and financial markets. The camera is zooming off to Time Square showing thousands of individuals walking down the street who are to busy in their life to notice anyone else around them. The fast pace life is only for people who can cope with all the stresses of the daily life. It focuses on a tall brick- building made with glass around the sides. Then they show a guy in an elevator. He is wearing a three piece black Armani suit who had just pressed the 11^th floor button. He has nice sharp features with a cute smile oh his face. The elevator goes up and stops on the floor. The guy comes outside and the girls look at him and he smiles at them. He walks ahead when he comes in front of a cabin and stops in. He takes a deep breath and pushes the door open. He enters and then you see the beautiful interior of the cabin. It is a huge cabin, with glass windows overlooking the tri-state area. The walls are painted with warm rich tones complementing the furniture from Milan. There is a huge desk in the middle which is completely tidy and a chair facing the window with a figure on it. He smiles and starts to speak.

"I found him Soha, I found him." he exclaimed.

"What?" she replied, the figure sitting on the chair swings the chair facing him with a horrid expression on her face. She gets up from her chair and walks toward him slowly. She is wearing a black knee length skirt with a red shirt inside and black coat on top and her silky black hair are tied up in a bun. She has a little bit of make-up on and some eye liner on her eyes, which makes her mesmerizing blue eyes look even more bigger.

"Is it true Raj?"she asked.

"Yes, it is."he replied.

"But how? I searched for him for five years and I never found him."

"Well, I got connections."he replied while smirking.

"Stop kidding around and be serious."

"Anything for you love."

"Very funny."

"Well, you are my love, we did get engaged and if I remember correctly we are getting married in a month."

"I know. So where is he now?"

"He lives in London, he has a huge empire there now. I was going to do business with him, he changed his name to Prem Malhotra now. I did some research on him and saw his picture on the front cover of last weeks 'London Times,' apparently he's the hottest and youngest businessman there."

****, she thought if I knew his middle name was Malhotra, that M in Prem M. Khanna, wasn't just a M but it stood for Malhotra. Maybe, I would have found him earlier. It would not have taken seven years from their lives.

"So, is the lawyer sending him a notice?" she asked curiously.

"He just send it in the morning. It should reach him by tomorrow. We both have to go to India to finalize the divorce and he should come there soon."

"Okay. Thank you." she said.

"Your welcome and it was my duty."

"I meant for everything you have done for me in the past few years. (She started crying) if you weren't there then I hardly doubt I would be alive." she finished her statement.

He hugged her and put his strong arms around her trying to comfort her.

"You don't need to thank me. I did it because I wanted too." he said.

"When are we leaving?" she asked.

"Tonight."

"I guess I better start getting packing."

It was about six o clock during the evening and they had to leave in a few hours. She had started to pack and was looking through her clothes in the closet. When an album dropped to the floor and opened to the page of her marriage. She picked it up and started to remember everything. It was her and Prem's wedding photograph. They both looked so in love when everything was perfect. She started to think nothing can't be perfect, their live wasn't perfect and definitely not their marriage. She looked through the album and started to see more pictures of them together and they were laughing and hanging out together. Those were the best days of my life when we were in college. Her mind drifts off tot he past and to her memories.

~Seven Years Back In Mumbai, India~

Mumbai the most populous city of India, with a huge metropolitan population. It is full of tourist attractions, but some main ones are Marine Drive, Prince Wales museum, and the Gateway of India. One of the most prestigious college is the University of Mumbai. The same college where she met him, where they both saw each other for the first time. This was where she had spent some of the most beautiful moment of her life. She remembered everything, from their first meeting, their first fight, first kiss to the last moments they had spent together. Everything was perfect, her life was too good to be true. She had wonderful parents, great friends, a cute boyfriend and she was also great in studies.

It was the last day of her senior year, she was dating Prem who had graduated a year earlier and was looking for a job these days. Prem was the best guy she had ever met, he was everything for her and she was everything to him. They had been together for four years now but still it was too hard to accept that she was dating someone as irresponsible as him. She was wearing a black cocktail dress with her hair opens and was hanging with a few of her friends at their grad party. Prem had said he would be there but it was almost over there was no sign of him. She was getting worried what if he was sick, or something even worse. But it was Prem he was never on time ever, at least not in the past four years of their relationship. There was a fast song going on and she was dancing with her friends when the music suddenly stopped. Everyone's eyes went toward the stage, it was completely dark and then spotlight focuses on a figure, with the back facing the audience. Everyone was surprised to see what was going on. When the figure turned around and said in the mike "This song goes to you my love Soha, from your crazy lover Prem." Soha was shocked, Prem always gave her surprises but this was the biggest one yet. He was wearing blue jeans with a white shirt and his signature black leather jacket. He started to play the guitar while the music played in the background and then he began singing with his awesome voice sending chills down her back.

'Soniye, soniye, soniye, soniye Soniye, soniye, soniye, soniye Tu hi tu hi meri manzil Tu hi chaahat mein hai shaamil Tu hi tu hi meri manzil Tu hi chaahat mein hai shaamil Kuch aisa keh do jaan-e-dil Tere bina meri subah nahi jalti Tere bina meri shaam nahi dhalti Tere bina meri jaan hai pighalti Soniye, soniye, soniye, soniye '

He had an amazing voice when always sent a vivacious sensation throughout her body. She knew he had wanted to be a rock star but due to his parents disapproval he had given up that dream. But he still sang, and whenever he sang she knew it was for her. She wanted to smile by seeing him up there singing especially for her but decided to stay mad, so she showed no expression on her face. He continued to sing.

'You are my love, you are my life

You are the one deep in my heart

You are my love, you are my life

You are the one eep in my heart'

This really touched her heart and he came off the stage and started to walk towards her. But she moved to the other side. He smirked at her and continued to sing.

'Tu hi mere tu hi mere ishq ki itteda hai Tu hi mere tu hi mere ishq ki inteha hai Saanson ki jhumbish kehti hai kuch nahi tere siwa hai Tere bina meri subah nahi jalti Tere bina meri shaam nahi dhalti Tere bina meri jaan hai pighalti Soniye, soniye, soniye, soniye I got to move on, I, I got to move on I, I got to move on, I, I got to move on Doobe doobe jism-o-jaan hai Pyaar ki baarishon mein Jee raha hoon jee raha hoon main teri khwaahishon mein Bhool ke main duniya saari khoya tere nashe mein Tere bina meri subah nahi jalti Tere bina meri shaam nahi dhalti Tere bina meri jaan hai pighalti Soniye, soniye, soniye, soniye'

She moved towards her friends and started to talk to them but they were all busy staring at Prem. She was now more pissed at him, he smirked again and she stuck her tongue at him while he gave her a flying kiss.

'Kehka shah hai tera chehra Yaadon mein hai tera pehra Tera mera naata bada gehra Tere bina meri subah nahi jalti Tere bina meri shaam nahi dhalti Tere bina meri jaan hai pighalti Soniye, soniye, soniye, soniye You are my love, you are my life You will always be deep in my heart You are my love, you are my life You will always be deep in my heart'

He finished his song but Soha was still mad, and he knew what he had to do. He started to talk again.

'How is every one doing?'

'Great'

'That is nice but someone is mad at me still. I have the perfect way to pacify them. Soha we have known each other for a long time now. I know you are annoyed by how irresponsible I am but Girl, get used to it. I mean if we are going to be spending the rest of our lives together, then we better accept each other for what we are.'

Did she hear him right, did he say for the rest of our lives, No I must be mistaken she thought.

'Well, I have already accepted everything about you. I love you. The first time I saw you, I knew you were the one. It was love at first sight but it will last for an eternity. You are the best thing that ever happened to me. I was incomplete without you and you make me complete. Now, I want to remain completed for the rest of my life. So think carefully before you answer. Will you marry me Soha Saxena and become Soha Khanna?"

By the time he had finished talking Soha had tears flowing out of her eyes. She couldn't believe it he had proposed to her. It was soon but they were in love. She ran to him and hugged him tightly. "Yes." she whispered in his ears. "I can't hear you." he said. "Yes" she screamed. He got the beautiful diamond ring out and slid it down her finger. Everyone applauded for them. They were the 'hottest' couple of college and now they were together forever.

They got married in a few months. At first their parents were against it but eventually agreed afer seeing how much they loved each other. In the beginning everything seemed perfect. They were both together, they lived in an apartment together but then they started to have fights. Not little fights, but fights that started for no reason but then turned so huge that they would almost be hitting each other. Everyday seemed to drag and a day wasn't completed without a fight. They both were getting frustrated, both were thinking of leaving each other. But then Soha turned pregnant bringing happiness in their lives again. Now everything seemed perfect like before. They were both excited to be parents. There was nothing that could separate them except themselves and that is what occurred. It was about seven years back, and Soha was almost nine months pregnant when she stared to get contractions and went to the hospital with Prem. She was in th delivery room. Giving birth to her baby. It was really hard for her so she fell unconscious. When she woke up she received the most shocking news of her life. Prem had left with her baby without any explanations. She couldn't believe it and went to a state of shock for a while. The doctor said she should got to a new place. That is when her parents made her move to NY to forget her old life ad start a new one. She had tried for five years to find Prem and her baby but was unsuccessful. Now Raj had told her that she was going to meet Prem in a few hours in India with her baby whose face she never saw. She hated him for leaving her all alone and especially taking her baby away form her. She had a million of questions to ask him and would ask him when they met face to face in India.

Soha and Raj were at the airport waiting for the flight. She was nervous and Raj could sense it. Raj had been a great support in her life. They were friends since childhood, Raj had always loved her but she went with Prem. He had been fine with it because he had wanted to see her happy, and he knew she was happy with Prem. But when when he found out what Prem had done, he was simply outraged. How could he have done that. He was a *******, and deserved to be beaten up. He had given Soha so much pain. In the past few years Soha had forgotten how to laugh, socialize or have fun. She was a workaholic and tried to find that Prem but after five unsuccessful years, she gave up. He had tried to make her happy to just be there for her in her bad times. Their friendship grew stronger and two weeks back he popped the question. He knew it was now or never. He had not expected her to say yes but when she did he was overjoyed. They couldn't get married until she got a divorce. So they had to find him, and luckily he was doing a business deal with this new guy in London called Prem Malhotra who was actually Prem Khanna. He asked for his info, saw his picture and found out he was Prem Khanna. Then he got the lawyer to sent him a divorce notice and ask him to come to India. Since they needed to get a divorce at the same place where they had gotten married. He glanced toward her she seemed sad, I guess her past wounds were renewing, this time he would not let her cry. Their flight announcement came on and they boarded the plane.

~London, England~

London the capital of United Kingdom or better known as England. It is one of the most cosmopolitan, vibrant and fast paced city of the world. It is filled with rich history of the British Kingdom, the most popular attractions are the Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and museums. The camera shows some more attractions then moves to the rich neighborhood of the city. It shows a huge street filled with enormous mansion then it stops on one of them. It is a white brick mansion with a beautiful water fountain in front of it. It is a three building mansion with fifteen rooms. It moves to a huge master bedroom. There are two figures on the bed sound asleep with a blanket covering their body. Just then the alarm rings, next to them screaming 'Good Morning London!' Both figures sit up and stretch then take a yawn. Then they look at each other and laugh. The older guy says 'Good Morning Beta.' while the younger boy says "Good Morning Dad." The bigger figure is Prem Khanna now known as Prem Malhotra. He lives in London and has been residing there for the past seven years. He lives with his son and a maid. They both get up and head toward the dining room. Prem is wearing blue shorts and a vest and his son is wearing the same thing but in a smaller size. They both sit down to eat the breakfast, there is delicious omelet, pancakes, waffles, toast and juice. They start to eat when the maid enters with a letter.

'Sir, there is a letter for you."

"I'll see that."

He drinks a sip of his juice then opens up the letter and is shocked. He stood up and read it again. It was a divorce notice form Soha, she wanted a divorce. He had to got to India, meaning he had to see her. On no, what was going o happed. Is she getting married to someone else, no she can't marry someone else. Who am I kidding, she probably hates me. I guess I have to go and meet her. She deserves someone else not a coward like me Tears drop from his eyes. His kid comes up to him.

"Why are you crying dad?"

"It's nothing Adi."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"How would you like to go to India?"

"I don't know."

"We are going to Inida today."

"What?"

"Yes."

"Meaning no school."

Prem laughs and replies "Yes Adi."

Part 2-

~Mumbai, India~

The place where Soha was born and raised for 21 years of her life. Now, coming back at the age of 28, everything seemed the same but still there was a difference. Raj was dropping Soha at her old place, the one where Soha and Prem used to live. Since, it was both of their place and Prem had left abruptly they never got a chance to sell it. So, all these years it was an empty apartment with all their old furniture. She entered the apartment and all the memories came back to her. All the times she had spent with Prem here. Tears started to drop from her eyes slowly. Raj saw her and tried to hug her but she pushed him away. He knew her old wounds were reopening. He had no choice but to leave her alone there. All the furniture was covered with white sheets since no one was living there. She put her bag on the floor and entered her old bedroom. It was still the same, they had shared so many beautiful moments in there. Which had now turned into memories that will always just be memories. She then went inside the next room which they had made for their baby. But the baby never got to be there. She saw the crib was still there and all the toys they had bought. They didn't know if it was going to be a boy or a girl so they had decided to paint it half pink and the other half blue. She remembered the time when they painted the room together and how much fun it was. Now realizing the fact she had given birth to a baby but had never got to hold it or even see it. Her feelings of hatred toward Prem grew she lost seven years of her life, she had to away from her baby. It was no use now, she could not to anything. Even if she did she would get nothing back except pain because it still hurts her when it hurts Prem. So, even though she wanted to take revenge she knew it was not possible. She took a deep breath, tried to relax her mind and went to the bathroom to take a long relaxing bath.

~Airplane~

Prem is sitting next to Adi. Adi is very excited because it his first plane ride ever. His dad went to places but left him with the maid. He never went out of London, so forget about leaving the country. He was so happy he was getting to travel. All his friends had traveled in a plane and use to brag about it and now he could too. He was a little bit nervous too because he was scared of heights. But he knew he had nothing to worry about as long as his dad is with him. He smiled at his dad who returned it with a bigger smile. He loved his dad dearly, he had given him everything he could ever want. But he still missed not having a mother, but what kind of mother did he have, one who never met him or talked to him, he despised her. He was looking at the air hostess giving the instructions. Prem looked at his son, he was everything to him and he could not offered losing him. For the last seven year he had been the support of his life, he loved his son too much. He was thinking about meeting Soha. How would she look now, I'm sure she is still as beautiful as before. She was the most beautiful women he had laid his eyes on, only he knew how much he loved her. He took his wallet out and there was picture of her in it. She had a dazzling smile with her sparkling blue eyes which had caught his attention the first time they met. He had never imagined they would get married or even be dating. He was totally shocked when she agreed to go out with him. They were in college and in his opinion the best days of his life were there. When they got married and started to have fights, he was hurt because he thought they would never fight like they did. It was horrible, he couldn't take it, but when he found out they were going to have Adi, he decided to stick around. He loved her too much and couldn't be the cause fo her pain. She was too important to him but now, they were going to face each other after seven long years. He used to dream about her every night and now he was finally going to see her. He was really happy but then it hit him they were meeting because she wanted a divorce from him. ****, he thought she was leaving him He couldn't blame her, he was the one who left her with out any explanations but still. He was now scared to meet her, what if she wanted Adi, what if she took Adi from him. No, he could not let that happen. Never.

Raj and Soha were at her lawyers office waiting for Prem to come. She was nervous and anyone could tell that. The way she was fidgeting with her nails and shaking her legs and looking at the clock every minute or so. Raj knew she was eager to see her baby and he was glad she was finally getting the chance too. It had been over an hour since they had been waiting for Prem. What if he didn't come she thought. He was late like usual still irresponsible. She hated this habit of his, always had and always will. She couldn't wait. She stood up and said.

"I'm leaving." she said.

"What?" said Raj.

"Yes, I am not waiting for that loser Prem, he should have been here an hour ago and there is no sigh of him . No calls or anything. He's so irresponsible"she finished her statement and turned to leave when she stopped dead on her tracks.

Right in front of her at the door way was Prem. She couldn't breathe properly or even think. He looked so handsome with his silky brown hair falling on his head and little bit covering his forehead. His eyes were glistening like usual and he had his trademark smirk on his face. He looked hot in his black suit, with a tie. He never use to wear a suit he hated wearing them. What was he doing wearing one? He looked even better than before, he looked too good. She was lost in her thoughts.

Prem froze in his track when he saw her, Soha she looked like an angel. She still had the perfect figure, with the best features. Her silky black hair was tied loosely down and she had no makeup in but still looked beautiful. Her blue eyes which he loved were still sparkling. She looked mesmerizing.

They both could not believe they were standing in front of each other after seven years. It seemed like a dream to both of them but it was reality. They had been staring each other for quite a while now. When Adi entered the room running and laughing. He was screaming "Dad...dad...dad..." and then he hugged Prem's knees. Soha's gazed shifted from Prem to the little boy. He looked so cute, he looked so much like Prem and her. He had Prem's brown hair but he had her blue eyes which sparkled like hers. She could not believe it she was seeing her son finally, she couldn't take control of her emotions. Tears spilled from her eyes and kept on flowing, Her son was standing right in front of her. She finally saw him after seven years.

She bend down and hugged him tightly like she was never going to let him go. Adi was shocked, who was this lady and why was she hugging him. She kept hugging him while Prem looked at them and felt guilty. She finally let him go and touched his face to confirm he was there. Adi took his hands and removed her tears.

"Papa says that you should not cry."

She heard him talk and cried even more. Adi looked confused at Prem.

"Why is she crying dad?"

Prem had the answer but didn't want to give it. Finally Soha controlled her emotions she stood up and turned toward Raj. She went towards him and hugged him. He hugged her back Prem was shocked why was she hugging him was there something between them. His thoughts were interrupted by the lawyer.

"So Mr & Mrs Khanna, I have realized that you guys want a divorce."

"Yes." replied Soha.

"What about you Mr. Khanna?" he asked.

"I don't know." was his response.

"What do you mean by I don't know either you want it or not?" he said.

"I need some time." he finally answered.

"Fine Mr. Khanna. Ms Soha you have to wait till he agrees to give you a divorce or you will have to take this matter to court."

"Fine." she said.

"Ms Soha I guess you have to wait for a while till you can get married because the longer it takes for him to decide. The longer the process will be."

Prem was shocked again. Did he hear that lawyer right. She was getting married. She wasn't leaving him but also becoming someone else's. He looked at her and noticed the ring on her finger it was a gold ring with a pink sterling diamond and not the one he had given her. He almost chocked on the air he was breathing, she was engaged to someone else. But the question was. Who? Then he noticed the way Raj and Soha were sitting together. Are they together now? Does she love him now? Has she forgotten about me? All these thoughts were occupying his mind. But his thoughts were interrupted by Soha's pleasant voice.

"Mr. Khanna ...are you there?" she asked.

When did she referred to him as Mr. Khanna. Why was she being so formal after everything that happened between them.

"Yes, Ms Khanna." he said.

"I'm Ms Saxena, not Ms Khanna." she said in an irritated tone.

"Fine Ms Saxena, what were you saying?"

"I was asking how long will it take you to make your decision?"

"I need some time."

"But how long, I can only stay here for a week."

"Fine, I'll let you know soon." he replied angrily.

He stood up and took Adi with him. He left and Soha broke into tears again. Raj could not see her like that. She was crying, she couldn't believe how rude she was to him. She couldn't believe she saw her son. She didn't even knew his name? What was she going to do? Should she file for custody, or not?

It was early morning, the next day, Soha had gathered up all her courage and decided to meet Prem. She went to the Taj Hotel, where he was staying. She went to the receptionist.

"Hello madam."

"Hi. I would like to know what room Mr Prem Khanna is staying in?"

"One second."

The lady at the reception looked at the computer and then replied her.

"He's staying in room no. 222. It's on the 5^th floor"

"Thank you."

"Your welcome."

She entered the elevator and pressed the 5^th floor button. She waited for the elevator to stop and it did. She got out and went right in front of room no. 222. She stood there motionless, should she or not knock? Yes, you should she thought, you came here for a reason. She knocked on the door, there was no response. She knocked loudly again and again. Then a very grouchy and angry Prem opened the door who was shirtless.

"What the hell lady...what do you want in the morning?" he said while rubbing his eyes.

"I need to talk to you about something and by the way it is 12 am right now."

He opened his eyes and saw Soha standing in front of him.

"Sorry." then he realized he was without a shirt so he shut the door on her.

"Why did you do that?" she screamed.

He found a blue shirt lying on the couch and wore it quickly. He opened the door and saw an extremely angry Soha standing there. It was typical of her to get pissed off at small things. He smiled and asked her to come in. She entered the room and it was dirty like she had predicted. Clothes were on the floor, the couch, and the bed. There were left over food still on the coffee table, and his luggage was still lying on the middle of the floor. She didn't know to be mad or laugh at the situation of the room.

"I know it's a bit messy. But you know me."

Soha thinking I thought I knew you but not anymore.

"So why are you here?"

"Can't I come...just to see my own son."

"Of course you can."

"But he's sleeping."

She looked towards the bed and saw Adi sleeping peacefully. He looked so cute. She went next to him and starts caressing his hair lightly. Prem saw the pain in her eyes and started to feel guilty.

"What is his name Prem?"asked Soha curiously.

"It is Aditya but I call him Adi."

"It is such a sweet name, Adi. It suits him. I never imagined you coming up with this name."

"Well, there is a lot you don't know about me."

"I think you are right."

Then there was silence in the room. Soha went towards Prem and looked at him.

"I need to know your decision."

"I haven't decided yet."

"What do you mean you haven't decided. You know there is nothing left in this relationship and I can't be married to you because of Adi. He doesn't even know I am his mother. I want a divorce and I want it soon."

"You want a divorce fine that is what you are going to get." he yelled.

She was shocked to seem him so angry and hurt. But why was he acting like that when he clearly showed by leaving her he didn't love her. He was too complicated to deal with and she could not handle him.

"Great. Then sign the divorce paper and free me." she said.

"I will." he said in a hurt tone.

Just then Adi woke up He sat up on his bed, yawned a little bit and rubbed his eyes.

"Dad, what time is it?"

"Around twelve thirty."

"Okay."

He came up to Prem and give him a sweet good morning kiss on his cheek which Prem returned.

"Good morning I mean afternoon dad."

"Good afternoon Adi."

"I love you so much."

"Love you too."

The he looked at Soha, and remembered he had met her yesterday.

"Papa isn't she the same lady we met yesterday?"he asked innocently.

"Yes."

"Why is that aunty always crying?"

Soha was extremely hurt, her own son was calling her "aunty." She couldn't accept the fact that Prem and Adi were so close and she was simply a stranger to him. She could not handle it so she left the room in tears. Prem saw her leaving he felt partly responsible fro making her cry but what he could he do. He went outside and saw her in the hall crying. He touched her shoulder and it sent a vibrant current thought both of their bodies. It was a feeling that was missing form both of their lives. She knew by his touch that it was Prem. She turned to see Prem standing there.

"I am sorry." he said.

She didn't reply him and kept on looking at him.

"If you want I can tell him that you are his mother."

"I don't know If I am ready for that. What if he doesn't accept me or even worse hates me?"

"He can't hate you, you are his mother."

"What kind of mother was I. I wasn't in his life for the past seven years and now I just come into his life without any warning and ruin his happiness. I can't do that. I can't be selfish" and then mumbled under her breath "like some people."

He had heard that, he felt bad but he knew he had to ignore it.

"Fine, I'll only tell him when you are ready."

"Thanks. I'll leave now."

"Bye."

"Good bye. Remember we have to sign the papers in two days."

"How can I forget?"

She then left and he was still standing there watching the love of his life leave.

Part 3

Inside Soha's place, she is sitting on her bed in her cute pink pj's. She had a very serious look on her face. Soha had never been so confused in her life ever. It was too much to deal with at once. Her past was unfolding in front of her day by day and it was putting her in a huge turmoil. She had no escape, she wanted to leave and forget everything but it wasn't possible. What was she supposed to do. It had been exactly two days since she had last met Prem and Adi. She missed Adi terribly, she wanted to be by his side and see him grow up. She knew it wasn't possible or was it? She knew she couldn't ask for full custody for him because it would be unfair to Prem. But what he did wasn't fair either. He had no excuse and no explanations could change the fact or lessen the pain he had given her. For the past seven years the question which revolved her mind was WHY? Why did he do that, why did he just leave her like that and never returned? Did she hurt him in someway or was there something else? Even though she was now near him she didn't have the courage to ask him. Why, was life so complicated she questioned herself. Today, they were going to sign their divorce paper and then they will be submitted to the court and in two to three days she would be free. She would be a free women but not for long. Then she would be married to Raj, the guy who had stuck with her through thick and thin. If he wasn't there she would have not been here either. She loved him but only as a friend but that didn't matter. He had helped her so much, she couldn't let him down. So what if she didn't love him, it wasn't like she was in love with someone else. Did she still love Prem? No, why was she even thinking about it? She could not love him after what he had put her through. Each day had seemed to be longer than a century, putting her through so much torture. She had to decide did she want custody for Adi or not? He was her baby, her blood and Prem's too. She knew Adi was close to Prem and vice versa. He didn't even know her, she meant nothing to him in his life. There was no difference to him if she was there or not. But it mattered to her. She had to make up her mind and do it soon. All these thoughts were troubling Soha throughout the morning. To let her feelings out she had poured them out in her diary. Writing a dairy was a way to escape the reality and let all her feelings out. When she felt like she could not talk to anyone. She used to write them as a young teenager but stopped when she met Prem because everything seemed perfect with him. And there was nothing she could not tell him so it would be useless to have one. But then after he left her she started to write one again and had not stopped since then.

It was now almost the time to leave and she was still in her pj's. She had been thinking for quite a while now and she had not reached a conclusion. She closed her dairy and put it on the book shelve. She then went inside the kitchen to make herself some coffee. She loved the strong and fresh scent pf the coffee. She took the ground beans out and put them in the coffee maker. She was waiting for the coffee to brew and went back to her thoughts. It was too hard for her to decide. She was never good at decision making that was why Prem use to handle all the big decisions when they use to live together. She used to give her input but never make the final decision. Even now after seven years she had not learnt how to make a decision. She finally decided to go change when the door bell rang. She looked through the hole and saw a perfectly dressed Raj standing there. She opened the door and was shocked to see her like this. He entered the apartment and opened his mouth like he had just received the biggest shock of his life.

"I don't believe this!" he exclaimed in complete amazement.

"Believe what, Raj?" she asked him curiously.

"That Soha, Soha Saxena is in her pj's after eight o clock in the morning." he said and then laughed.

"Very Funny, Raj. I was just going to change. You make yourself at home." she replied.

"As you say honey." he said.

She left in her room to change while he went to the book shelve and was looking around. When his eye caught a tiny pink diary with a heart on the middle. He was about to reach it when he heard Soha yelling and his attention diverted.

"Raj would you please check if the coffee is done."she yelled from inside the bedroom.

"Sure honey." he said.

He went inside the kitchen and got her coffee in a mug. He went outside to see Soha looking lovely in a pair of dark blue jeans with a plain black fitted sweater. Her hair were open today and she looked good. She was putting one of her sandal's while standing with a smile on her face.

"Here you go Soha. I put in two spoons of sugar with a little bit of milk. Just the way you like it." he said while admiring her beauty.

"Thanks." she replied.

"Do you want to leave now?" he asked her.

"In a minute." she replied while sipping her coffee and then said "it's good."

"It has to be because I made it." he said.

"Very Funny."she remarked and grabbed her coat.

They both left the apartment. Soha and Raj entered her lawyers office and were surprised to see Prem already there sitting on a chair and Adi was sitting next to him. She was shocked to see him there, he was actually there even before her. She checked her time and she was right on time, so it meant he was there early. The lawyer then called her.

"Ms Soha, will you please come here." he said.

"Yes." she said, then she went and sat right next to Prem. She looked at Adi who was busy playing with his video game with his head phones on. He looked adorable.

"Ms Soha, are you ready to sign the final paper?" he asked.

She took a deep breath then replied "Yes I am." She took a pen and signed her name as Soha Khanna for the last time. Then she gave the papers to prem who basically snatched them from her. He took the pen and signed on the paper. He gave the papers to the lawyer who looked through them when Raj's cell rang.

"Excuse me." Raj said and left the room to attend his call.

"I just looked over the papers and you guys will be divorced as soon as I submit them." he said.

Right then Adi screamed "Dad I need to go."

"Where?"Prem asked.

"I need to go to the bathroom." he said in a whiny tone.

"Okay," he said to Adi "will you excuse us for a moment,"to the lawyer.

"No let Adi go alone and you have to stay here."he said.

"Can you go alone?"he asked Adi.

"Don't worry Dad I'm a big boy now."he said.

Adi left the room in a hurry. Then the lawyer continued his speech.

"I need to ask you something really important." he said in a serious tone which made them worried.

"What?" Soha exclaimed.

"Who is going to take custody for Adi?"he asked them.

Prem and Soha looked at each other and no one had an answer. There was silence in the room which no one was breaking.

"Umm...I don't know."she replied.

"We haven't decided it yet."he said.

"Okay then decide soon we need to know who the kid is going to stay with."he said.

Then Raj entered and went up to Soha. He took her outside the room. He was standing with a worried look on his face and wasn't saying anything. Soha was getting scared so she asked him.

"What happened Raj?" she asked.

"I just got a call from my office there is some problem and I have to go check." he said.

"You are going to leave me here all alone." she asked in a sad tone.

"I'll be back soon."he said while hugging her.

"So when do you have to leave?" she asked him.

"Tonight."he answered.

"What?"she almost screamed.

"I am sorry."he said.

"It is okay."she said.

"I better go now, I have to catch the earliest flight."he said.

"I'll miss you."she said.

"I'll miss you too." he said.

Then they hugged each other and he left. She went inside again and sat down.

"So Ms Soha, when will you let me know about your decision?"the lawyer asked.

"In a few days." she answered him.

"Okay great, I guess this is it. You guys can leave." he said.

Soha stood up and left the room and Prem followed her. He was going to say something when Adi came up to him and by then Soha was gone. He took Adi's hand and they both went outside in the car he had rented. He sat in the red Mercedes convertible, and was about to leave when he saw a figure standing outside. He drove his car up to the figure and saw Soha standing there. She was standing there looking for a cab but there was none in sight. He rolled down his window and yelled her name. She looked at him in a surprised manner.

"Do you need a lift?" he asked.

"No it's okay. I'll manage."she replied.

"Come on for old times sake."he said with a puppy face, and there was no way she could refuse him. She was opening up the back door when she saw Prem motioning her to sit in the front, because Adi was sleeping on the back seat. She sat in the front seat next to him.

"So where are you staying Soha? At a five star hotel probably."he said.

"Actually I'm staying at our old place." she said.

"What?"he said in a shock tone.

"Yes."she replied.

"Is it still ours."he said.

"Yes, I didn't sell it there were way too many memories there and you owned it too so I couldn't sell it."she said.

"So what do you do now?"he asked.

"Me, well I am a journalist for a magazine in NY. "she asked.

"Really?"he asked surprise.

"I do the reality news column for the 'IT' magazine."she said.

"Wait a minute, doesn't some Mary Jones write it." he asked.

"Yes, that is my printing name."she replied him.

"Oh."he said.

"So what do you do?"she asked him.

"I have a business in London."he said.

"That is nice. Could you stop the car?"she said.

"Why?"he asked.

"We're at my place. I mean ours." she said.

He stopped the car and Soha got out. He turned around smiled at him.

"Thanks for the lift."she said,

"Your welcome."he replied.

"I was wondering do you want to come in for a while?"she asked.

Prem was hesitant at first but finally agreed. He picked up Adi in his arms and took him towards the apartment. Soha opened the door and they all entered inside. Prem saw their place after seven years but it seemed like decades. It was pretty much the same, the same furniture, the same setting. Everything was the same except them. He looked towards Soha who was putting her purse on the table, he was about to put Adi on the sofa when he saw Soha motioning him to put him in their bedroom. He went inside and put Adi on the bed and all the memories of them together in the room rushed to his mind. He went outside and couldn't find Soha there. He went inside the kitchen and saw Soha cooking something.

"Are you cooking Soha?" he asked.

"What does it look like I am doing in the kitchen...I am definitely cooking." she said.

"But you don't know how to cook." he said.

"I learned how to." she said.

"From whom?" he asked.

"Raj...he's a great cook..."she replied.

"Oh...Soha are you and Raj like together?"he asked.

"Yes...we are together and we are going to get married soon."she answered him.

"So like is everything over between us?"he asked.

"It's not over now...it was already over when you left me."she said.

"I am sorry."he said.

"Sorry can't bring back those seven years that we lost and can't lessen the pain I had to endure."she said.

"Do you think I just left you like this without any reason?"he asked.

She put her arms across her chest and looked at him with a serious face "What was I supposed to think...you left me all alone with our baby without any explanations. No, seriously tell me what did you expect me to think."

"So you don't even want to know why I left you?" he asked her.

"Duh...I want to know...that question has been haunting for me for quite a while now...it was the only thing I could think about except how my baby was."

Prem was about to say something when Adi's crying voice was heard. Both of them ran to the room to see what happened. Adi saw his dad and jumped off the bed and hugged him tightly. Prem was consoling Adi, while Soha stayed at the door and looked at them. She left the room and went outside in the living room and sat down on the sofa. After a while Prem came outside with Adi, and saw Soha sitting on the sofa like a statue. Soha sensed them in the room and got up. She went inside the kitchen and said "I'll bring dinner outside."

"Okay." was Prem's reply.

While Adi was looking around the place and then went inside the room which was supposed to be his. It was filled with toys and he missed his room and toys in London. Soha put the dinner on the table and was setting the table when Prem came and helped her. She left to look for Adi. She went in the room and saw Adi looking at the toys. She went closer to him.

"Do you like to play with toys?"she asked him sweetly.

"Yes, I love toys. I have a lot of them in London and I miss them." he answered her.

"Do you want to play with these until then?"she asked him.

"Sure I would love to."he replied.

He went and grabbed one of the toys and started playing with it. She saw him playing and smiling. She felt so good to know she had made her son happy for the first time in his life.

"So do you also have a kid?"he asked her innocently.

"Yes, I have a son."she answered him.

"Really how old is he?"he asked her.

"About your age."she answered.

"Where is he?"he asked.

"In front of me."she answered in a low tone.

"What I couldn't hear you."he asked.

"Nothing."she said.

"Let's go eat dinner."she said.

"Fine."he replied.

They both went outside to the dinning room where Prem was already sitting on the table waiting for them. Adi sat next to Prem while she sat down across for him. Prem served dinner to Adi and then himself. Soha took some out on her plate. Prem and Adi were eating cause it was really delicious pasta while Soha was lost in her thoughts and was playing with her food. They were eating in silence but eating all eating together for the first time. They were done eating soon, Soha started to clear the table and took the dishes to the kitchen. She was cleaning them when Prem entered the kitchen.

"Need some help?" he asked.

"I can manage on my own." she answered.

"Fine...I was just saying that I think we will head back to the hotel."

"Fine."she answered without looking at him.

He left the kitchen and went outside to get Adi and then leave. Soha came outside too and saw them about to leave. When they looked outside the window and saw that there was a downpour outside and it was raining really hard. He looked at her and she looked back at him.

"Why don't you guys stay over here tonight?" she said.

"Are you sure?"he asked.

"Yes, I don't want something to happen to you guys. It's not safe to drive out there."

"Yeah."yelled Adi, "I can play with the toys tonight."he said. He went in the room.

"Thanks for caring about me and letting us stay over here." he said gratefully.

"I didn't let you stay because I care for you, I said it because I don't want Adi to get hurt." she said.

"Fine."he said in a hurt tone.

Soha went outside on the patio to look at the rain. Prem came outside shortly and saw her watching the rain intently. He was standing right behind her and she had not noticed it because she was too absorbed in her thoughts. When lighting struck which scared her and she turned around to go inside but instead bumped into Prem. They were very close and were staring in each other's eyes. When the lightning struck again and louder this time, scaring Soha. She grabbed on to Prem, she hugged him tightly and hid her face in his chest. She was hugging him tightly and he was about to put his arms around her to give her comfort. But she pulled away and murmured "Sorry!." He was staring at her intensely and she was getting uncomfortable under his gaze. She started to go inside when he came in her way.

"Move it."she said.

"No, I need to talk to you."he said.

"I don't care. I want to go inside." she answered.

"You have to listen to me. You can't just ignore me and make me the bad guy. I know I am at fault but there is a reason." he screamed.

"I am sure there is a great reason for you to separate a mother from her son."she said sarcastically.

"I want Adi to know that you are his mother."he yelled.

Suddenly, Adi came outside and he heard everything. He had tears in his eyes, he looked at Soha and was happy to finally to find out who his mother was. He had never been so happy, he went up to her screaming "You are my mom."He was really near her but then stopped in midway. He yelled, "No, you can't be my mother. You never saw me ever, or called me or anything. I hate you, you give nothing but pain except to me and my dad. I hate you." he ran inside. While Prem ran after him saying "Adi, listen to me. Adi." Adi went inside the room and closed the door. Prem knocked on the door but Adi wouldn't listen. He kept on knocking for a while but there was no response. Meanwhile, Soha was crying abruptly on the patio with tears flowing out of her eyes. She was sitting on the floor crying tears of pain. Adi her own son had said he hated her. She didn't want to believe it but it was true. Prem came outside and saw her in pain. He went to console her but she got mad at him instead.

"My own son hates me." she screamed.

"He doesn't he was upset." he said.

"No he does hate me. I was a bad mother. I am a horrible human being. That is why you left me and that is why you didn't want me to raise him. I finally understand everything." she said with tears in her eyes.

"No this is not true. You don't know what happened. You are a wonderful person and would surely be the best mother ever." he told her.

"Then why did you leave me Prem? Why?"she asked him frantically.

"I had to I had no other choice." he exclaimed.

"What do you mean you had no choice?"she asked him.

"I had to go to, I had to do it. You want to know why I left you. Then listen to me."

Seven Years Back

Mumbai, India

Soha had just delivered her baby and was unconscious. The baby was sent to the nursery, Soha was a little bit critical so her parents were with her and Prem went to see his baby in the nursery. He was looking at his son and was happy with tears in his eyes. When his cell rang and he was asked to come to his dad's house because his dad's lawyer wanted to meet him there. His dad had died a couple days back which had shattered him because now he had no family left except his step brother. His mother had died of cancer when he was younger and now he had lost his dad too. He reached his dad's place where the lawyer was already there. The lawyer told him that about eighty percent of the property went to Prem's baby and twenty percent to his step brother. He had to sign some papers. He did the formalities. The lawyer told him to let his step brother Rahul know about this. He went towards Rahul's room but then stopped in the midway when he heard Rahul talking on the phone. Rahul was screaming and looked like he was in a bad mood. He yelled "I know what my dad did. He gave most of the property to prem's child and I only have twenty percent. That is not fair and I want you to kill his baby. I need you to do the job and do it quickly."he finished talking. He turned around to see a shocked Prem standing there. "Oh good you heard that, I am sorry but I have to do this." Rahul said. "No I won't let you to that." Prem said. He ran form there and drove to the hospital. He looked for his baby who was still in the nursery, he was relaxed, he took his baby. He went to Soha's room and she was still unconscious. He then saw a goon behind him trying to take his bay from him. He ran away from there and Soha's mother saw him run with the baby. She asked Prem to stop but Prem didn't because he had to safe his baby. Prem ran for his baby and his life he went to his car and drove really fast trying to escape the goon. The goon had other partners who were chasing him with their car. He knew he had to leave the country for a while till things had cooled down. He dodged the goons and went to his apartment complex to grab a few things. He got his passport and packed his bag quickly He went to the airport and took the next flight to London, where he was brought up. He was extremely sad he had to leave Soha but he knew he couldn't put her life in danger so as long the baby was with him she was safe. It had been a month since he had went to London and he could not live without Soha. He wanted her, he need ed her, he went back to India. He reached India and found out his step brother was dead, he died in a car accident a week back. Prem had never been happier to know about someone's death but Rahul's dead had given him so much relaxment. He went to his place and didn't find Soha there, the neighbors said she went to her parents place. He went there and found out they had sold their house and moved out of the country after her husband had left her. He felt guilty, he had lost Soha and it was his fault. He tried to find her but couldn't. No one knew where she went. He didn't wan t to live but then he realized he had to live for his son. He had realized now he would give his son so much love and happiness in his life. He tried his best to raise him and never gave up on finding Soha but unfortunately he didn't succeed in it.

Now

"I am so sorry Soha, I never meant to leave you. The circumstance had forced me to got for a while but I tried hard to find you but I couldn't. I am so sorry I know it is all my fault." he said.

"I don't believe this." she replied.

"I knew you wouldn't believe me, you would think that I just left you like that." he said hurt.

"No, I can't believe your brother would ever do that to you. I hate him because of him I lost you and my baby. We were separated for such a long time and our happiness was taken away from us." she said.

"So you don't hate me?"he asked hopefully.

"I never hated you. How could I hate my own self. But you did hurt me a lot."she said.

"I said I am sorry. I'll do anything for you. I love you too much. You have no idea how I have spend my life hoping everyday I might meet you one day. The countless times I have thought about you or dreamed about you. I missed you like crazy."he said.

"I have missed you a lot too. Everyday I hoped all this was a nightmare and I would wake up one day finding you next to me with our baby. I was so hurt and alone. I had to endure so much but I guess it wasn't your fault. But whose fault was it?" she said.

"I guess it was a game that destiny played with us."he said.

"Then I think it was a terrible game." she remarked.

"But now we are now together." he said

" I know." she answered him.

She went towards him and was about to hug him. When she moved back and looked at him.

"No this can't happen." she said.

"What?" he asked.

"Us, we can't be together."she answered.

"Why?"he asked her.

"Because I am with Raj and I can't forgive you." she said and ran inside her room closing the door shut. Prem was standing there motionless and slowly dropped down to his knees while crying.
