Ram,
Hope this letter finds you all shaken up. Shaken up? Yes, I really do. And I want you to be more proactive.
Even when your beloved wife was enacting a divorce drama to reveal the truth you never wanted to hear, you didn't venture to seriously find out why this was happening. You intrinsically trust people. Your friend Vikram had to literally coax you to find out who Jayesh Karekar was and why he got 2 crores. Now is the time to shed that and be alert because 5 years after your wife was reported dead, you are still being taken for a ride now by your sister-in-law and mother-in-law. Please wake up before it hurts you even more.
I love the way you have grown more sensitive to people around you and perceive your wife and her love in everything you do. But can you please put your detective hat and start connecting the dots now. Because,
Your new-found darling Peehu looks so much like you, behaves like you and shares the same tastes and has a single mom and you never saw your wife dead. Please go after Peehu and find out what her background is.
We don't know what happened in the last 5 years. You might have cleared your wife's name in that pharma fraud case and Ayesha might have helped there, but I can still not take the fact that you had to do what you did for Ayesha. For two reasons. First is that you married Priya as a compromise, but never undermined the sanctity of the institution of marriage. You had complete faith in it. The Ram Kapoor who married Priya as a compromise lets her win the ring game(koudi?) by giving her the ring to show that she is her ardhangini and has right over the household. That faith in marriage is what makes the relationship give you back much more. You got love of Priya in return. Secondly, Ayesha is the one who in the first place is the cause for your misery by falsefully testifying against your wife. Please tell me this Ayesha situation all a lie or is not what it looks like.
Oh by the way, you are so caring and loving that you send a Rakhi to your brother-in-law because Priya would be happy wherever she is, but never bothered to understand what Peehu as a child or her mom are thinking about Peehu's dad. Does it hurt you that Peehu does not have dad around? Do you realize that Peehu is not at all attached to Rajat? Just because you learnt Pooja is single (and not married as corrected by Rajat) you think she can be easily approached by Rajat? Why? You are willing to help out Peehu and her mom in their financial mess, but have you realized how insecure they might be feeling mentally? Please think and try to find out.
Finally, you deserve the best. Your unconditional, no-frills-attached love is your armour. Looks like a weakness now but it can't be. Please do not rush in helping your friend and when you encounter the truth that your wife is alive, we hope you will take a sane and strong stand to get her back. Hope your love for Priya brings her back to you.
