Part 15

It was slowly getting dark, Suhani stood next to her bed rotating the phone in her hand. It had been two days and she hadn't heard from Yuvraj. Only one question kept repeating in her head should she call him or not. She stopped turning the phone in her hand and began to dial his number but then hangs up. It was over. She needed to accept that. She knew she couldn't change her situation, no matter how hard she tried. She needed to move on. Sharma aunty walked in to the room. "Suhani beta are you ready." Suhani turned to look at her "Yes aunty, I just want to let Krishna know we are leaving." She began to dial his number and then held the phone up to her ear. He had answered after the first rings as if he was waiting for her call, "Hello." "Hello Krishna its Suhani." she stuttered. On the other side, Krishna felt his heart race, he was excited but was unhappy. He couldn't spent another moment alone. He needed a friend and she was the closest thing he had to a friend. He hadn't given it much thought, he was angry and his heart had turned to stone. He had signed his divorce paper and without giving it a second thought packed his bags to leave for Australia. He knew he was equally at fault for the problems in their marriage. But he loved Soumya and he knew she loved him too. He held hope in his heart that Soumya would come back to him even after the divorce and when she did, he would make it that the thought of leaving would never come to her mind. "Hello Krishna, are you there?" Suhani asked curious. Her voice pulled his mind back to the present, "Yes I am here. Are you leaving?" Krishna asked, excited. She nodded while taking the suitcase off her bed, "Yes I am leaving now. I am going to take a flight to Delhi then another flight there." He wondered if she had told her family that she was leaving for Australia. "Did you tell your family you are leaving for Australia?" She looked up at Sharma aunty who was waiting on her, "No I haven't but I planned to call them when I am at the airport." He hated the way she was leaving. He begged her to at least tell her family where she was going but she refused. Maybe she was right. Her family would never let her leave the county on her own and that to after what had happen. Krishna heart jumped, "Good! Well I should get some sleep before I come to pick you up. I will be the guy in the tent." Suhani laughs as she remembered the conversation she had with him in the morning. He had joked that he would pitch a tent in front of the airport and live his life as a beggar if she did not show, "Don't worry it will not come to that." Krishna had always admired her laughter, "I hope not. Anyways, I will let you go. Call me when you are at Delhi airport." he said with care. Suhani slowly feeling comforted with decision, "I will." She hangs up and hands back the phone to Sharma aunty. She grabs the suitcase and follows aunty out the door. She stopped at the door and held on to the frame. She stopped herself from looking back into the room to see if she left anything back. She needed to move forward and if she did leave anything behind it was for the best.

Rags stood outside waiting for Yuvraj to come home as Saurabh car pulled up. Saurabh comes out of the car surprised to see Rags looking down on him smiling. Saurabh didn't know what to make of this change he was beginning to see in her but he was liking it. He stood at the foot of the stairs admiring the way she looked. He had never seen anyone as beautiful as her. He recalled moments of the past when she had often stood there waiting for him when he would come home. But her obsession of being no.1 had took a toll in their marriage. But here she was again, standing there waiting for him. He couldn't resist it and needed to hug her. He began to jog up the stairs as Yuvraj car pulled up. Rags sees him pull up and walks to the stairs. Saurabh reaches Rags and spreads his arm out to hug her. " What are you doing? You know I don't like this." Rags said as she pushed his arm away from her. Rags moves aside and looked at Yuvraj. Saurabh felt hurt but walked past her smiling. He knew Rags would never change. He shock his head as he rushed inside. Rags jumps in front of Yuvraj as he comes up the stairs, " Yuvraj I need to tell you something." Yuvraj raging with anger, harshly says " Not now Bhabhi." He stomps past her. Rags holds onto his hand. Yuvraj quickly turns and yells " Bhabhi I said not now." "Suhani has filed for divorce" she yelled back. Yuvraj stared at her unable to believe his ears. Rags lifts the folded papers in front of him. He slowly grabs the papers and looks back up at her. She nudges her head a bit telling him to read it. He unfolds the paper and begins to read. "She came by and told me to tell you that she doesn't want you in her life anymore. She is happy she is out of this false relationship and this disgraceful family that gave her nothing but sorrow. She said so many horrible things against this family. Dadi, Menka, me and even Ma and Sharad. Yuvraj, I couldn't believe it, she even went as far as to blame Ma for everything. I feel ashamed to even repeat the things she said. She threw the papers at me and told me she no longer wants to see or hear from you." Yuvraj sees Suhani signature and looks up at Rags with rage in his eyes. Rags felt scared as she has never seen him this angry. He turned and went into the house. Rags feeling a bit fearful, ran in behind him. Yuvraj walked in looking around, "Soumya!" he yelled at the top of his lung. Everyone came out of their rooms worried. Dadi walked up to him, "What happened?" Yuvraj ignored Dadi. Dadi turned to look at Rags for answer. Rags just shook her head and walked over to Saurabh. Soumya came out of his room and rushes to him, smiling. She stood before him, smiling, completely oblivious to his anger, "Yuvraj, you are home. I.." "Where is Suhani, Soumya?" Yuvraj asked cutting her off. Soumya smile quickly disappears, "Suhani?" She finally noticed the anger in his eyes but the idea that he didn't know where Suhani was brought a smile back on her face. She had disappeared, what more did she need. "Why will I know where she is?" More anger grew within Yuvraj as he saw her smile. He turned to look away from her, "I will ask you again where is Suhani?" Yuvraj stridently stated. Soumya realizing her smile wasn't melting his heart, she looked up at Dadi for a savior. Dadi also didn't know what to do. She had never seen Yuvraj this angry before. Soumya silence enraged him. Yuvraj turned and grabbed her arm, forcing her to face him, "Soumya, where is Suhani?" Soumya cried out to due to the pain Yuvraj was causing her. "Ahh Yuvraj you are hurting me." She noticed his eyes widened. "I don't know." She was now figuratively crouching beneath his exploding rage. Yuvraj grabbed on to her other arm. His fingers began to claw into her skin. "Don't lie to me, you are her best friend. She didn't go home. You know where she could have gone." She continues to cry out due to the pain. He had fallen deaf to her cries. Dadi grabs a hold of Yuvraj shoulder, "Let go you are hurting her." Yuvraj again ignored Dadi but continued to hold onto her but this time with less pressure. He shakes her once to wake her "Where would she go Soumya? A friend house? A relatives house? The old age home?" Yuvraj stops and slowly released his hold on her. She pushed his arm away and ran to Dadi. Dadi hugged her as if she was a child who just woke up from a nightmare. Pratima walked up to him. Yuvraj turned away from his mom to look at Dadi and pointed to Soumya. Dadi and Soumya hugged each other tighter as they met Yuvraj eyes. They were detached, unemotional. "I want her out of here before I return." Without another word, Yuvraj ran out the door. Soumya looks up at Dadi, tears now streaming across her face. Rags smiled and walked into her room.

The owner walked up to the reception desk. "So how are you handling everything?" The receptionist looked at the books confused, "Everything is fine but.." The owner grabs the books from his hand and laughs, "I know its your first day and I am sorry to leave you on your own but I really need to go for this dinner. It's night time and visiting hours are over but if anyone come just take their name and the person they want to see and we will inform them in the morning. This blue book listed everyone in the facility and this green one is the sign in book. Two elders have left the facility but I will be returning with them" He hands him the book. "So you should be all good for tonight." The owner stepped away from the desk and walked out towards the back. Yuvraj pulled up in front of the old age home. He slammed his beloved car door shut and ran into the old age home. The receptionist finds Yuvraj at the door looking around. "Sir, can I help you?" Yuvraj turns and walks up to him, "Yes, Can you tell me if Suhani is here." He grabs the blue book and begins to look thru it, "Sorry sir there is no resident by that name." Yuvraj hands begin to get sweaty as he grabs onto the corner of the desk, "Well she isn't a resident she probably came to visit." He grabs the green book, "Well sir visiting hours are over so everyone has left but I'll see if they came here. When do you think she came." Yuvraj looks over the desk at the book, anxious. "She probably came here in the past two days." The reception looks back at his record as Yuvraj heart was racing and his hands were trembling. "I am sorry sir but I don't see her name in our logs." Yuvraj jumped to his toes. This place was his last hope. He couldn't leave here without an answer. "Are you sure Suhani wasn't here." The reception lifts both the books, "These are our logs, we have everything recorded in these books, who comes in and who goes out. Sorry Sir but her name isn't listed." the receptionist accidentally drops the books onto the floor. "Sir, if you like you could leave your name and.." he stated as he bended down to pick up the books. He pulled back up from picking up the books. "we would inform.." his voice fades as he finds that Yuvraj was not there. He comes out from behind the desk, to the door, to find Yuvraj walking back to his car. Yuvraj felt weak at his knee as he tired his best to make it to his car. He couldn't believe it, this was his only chance to find Suhani. He fell into the driver seat of his vintage car. He took out his phone and called Suhani phone, as usual she let his call ring out. He threw the phone at the passenger seat. He place his head in his hands, his fingers grasping at his hair roots. He looked up at the rear view mirror to find his eye blood shot red. He ran a hand through his hair, taking deep breaths, trying to slow his racing heartbeat. He needed to find her, he wouldn't be able to rest until he spoke to her. Her teary eyes flashed in his mind. He couldn't escape it, no matter how hard he tried. He took another deep breath. He started his car and looked thru his rear view mirror to find the owner talking to a guy. Yuvraj was taken back a bit. He recognized this guy, the guy the owner was with, from somewhere but couldn't make him out. He watched as they got into they car and drove off. He racked his brain for a while to figure out where he seen this guy before. He called it quits and drove off towards home.

Soumya paced back and forth in Dadi's room. "Dadi what is wrong with him. Why did he hurt me" Dadi tries to comfort her, "Beta, I am sorry. I didn't think Yuvraj would get so upset or else I would have had Yuvraj sign the papers before sending them to Suhani." Soumya looked up at Dadi confused, "Meaning?". Dadi laughed, "Oh beta you are so innocent. Yuvraj wanted to get rid of that girl but before he could do anything she had signed the divorce paper and sent it to him. You know men and their ego's" Soumya held her arm and began to cry, "But Dadi he wants me to leave." Dadi held onto her, "He does not want you to leave he just said that in anger. Trust me when he comes back he will not say anything to you. Trust me he loves you. You are beautiful and Birla are known for their beauty, so no crying. You are the rightful Birla bahu and don't you forget it." Dadi wipes her eyes and smiles. She brings her face closer to Soumya, "Don't let anyone know but you are my favorite Bahu." she whispered to her. She pulled back to find Soumya smile. Soumya hugged Dadi as Dadi wondered about the change she saw in Yuvraj. He never once in his life ignored her. She was afraid.

It had began to rain as Yuvraj pulled up to his house. He came out of the car and went to pull the roof onto the car. He lead against the car and caught a glance of his reflection at the puddle next to him. He looked weak, his skin was pale and his eyes odd. He looked away from the puddle. He turned to face the car, he place his arm on the roof and bended his arm to put his head down. His heart was racing and he couldn't figure out why. He lifted his head off his arm just a bit so his arm was covering his mouth. He screamed into his arm as he could feel tears coming. The scream had taken all the energy he had left. He felt his knees buckle. He pushed himself off the car and made his way up the stair with the little energy he had left. He repeated blamed himself for his failure of not being able to find Suhani. He made his way to the top to find the driver waiting for him. "What are you doing here so late." The driver walked up to him and held out an envelope, "I wanted to give this to you before but Rags Bhabhi was there with you and I thought it was best if I gave this to you alone. Its from Suhani." Yuvraj quickly took the envelope from his hand and ripped it open as if he was a hungry man who finally got his hand on food after months of starvation. The envelope fell to the ground as the driver left Yuvraj with the letter. He quickly unfolds the letter and began to read.

Suhani arrives at the airport and hugs Sharma aunty good bye. She walked into the airport, after checking in, she made her way to the gate. She locates a phone and makes a call to her family. Bhavna picks up, "Suhani, where are you? I tried to call you but your phone came back disconnected." Suhani held onto her chest as if her heart would pop out any minute, "Di I cancelled it." "Why? Where are you Suhani? Are you ok?" Bhavna asked as she held the phone with both hands, wanting to hug Suhani. "Di I am leaving. I am leaving Allahabad." Bhavna stood quiet unable to collect all the thoughts that ran thru her head. Bhavna fell down on to the couch still holding the phone near her ear. Suhani continues to talk to her, "Di its only for a short time but I need to do this myself. I need sometime to myself to get over all this." Lata comes and sits next to Bhavna as she holds on to her shoulder. Pankaj grabs the phone from Bhavna. "Hello Suhani. Where are you?" Pankaj questioned worried about her whereabouts. Suhani tried to fight back her tears, "Papa I am fine. I just need to get away." Pankaj trying to make sense of what Suhani was saying, "That is fine. You could come with me and your mom to Bua house. We were planning to go tomorrow." Suhani gets worried, her Bua health had it ups and downs in the past year, "Is she ok?" "Don't worry, she is fine, we hadn't seen in a while and she had some court issues she needed help with." Lata turns Bhavna around to face her. "Bhavna what did Suhani say?" Bhavna looks into her mom eyes, "She said she is leaving Allahabad." Pankaj gets worried and holds on to the phone as if it was Suhani hand, "Suhani beta come home, please. You want to get away, come with us. We will have fun like we always do. Eating samosa and pani puri." Suhani begins to pat her hand on her chest slowly trying to calm her heart down. "Papa please, I need to get away by myself. I need to forget everything that happen." Pankaj could hear her voice crack, "Suhani.." Suhani knew her father wouldn't agree, "Papa you owe me this much." Pankaj lowered his head, he promised himself he would always be by her side with every decision she made but his heart wasn't allowing it. Pankaj lifts his head and cleared his throat, "ok." Suhani felt a huge burden lift off her shoulder. She pressed her head against the wall. Tears fell to the floor as the heaviness on her chest lifted off. Lata couldn't believe he just allowed her to leave them. She should be here with them and he was allowing her to go to some place with no one by her side. Lata jumped up to grab the phone. "Suhani beta, Why are you doing this? Where are you going? We are here for you why are you leaving?" Suhani wiped her tears and calmed herself not to worry her mother, "Ma, don't worry. I am fine and its only for a short time." She pushed her face away from the receiver to calm herself once again. She placed the receiver back to her ear. "Ma I just need sometime to clear my head. To forget everything." Lata couldn't let her go, "Forget everything. Come home and we will fix it." Suhani tried to stay firm, "Ma you know this cant be fixed. I promise I will call you everyday." Pankaj held onto Lata shoulder. She looked up at him . "Suhani take care of yourself and you call everyday." Suhani hears the last call for her flight being announced over head. "Ma I have to go, my flight is being called. I will call you back when I arrive. Bye" She quickly hangs up the call. Bhavna jumps off the couch to grab the phone from her mom, "Hello... Hello... Suhani, Hello" She began to push the switch hook on and off. She puts the phone down and looked towards her mom. Lata looked up at Pankaj hoping she made a good decision.

Suhani heart grew heavy with every step she took. From here she had no one, she would be all alone. She had never thought she would find herself in this position. She grew up knowing about cheating, betrayal and lies but never ever really experienced it. She had always been protected by her family and Soumya but not anymore. It was time she faced the world on her own. She had decided to take this time to reinvent herself so no one could play with her heart and her trust. No one would play around with her because of her innocence. She needed to be stronger. She forgave all the people who had hurt her as she handled her boarding pass to the attendant and walked into the plane.

Pratima, Saurabh, Anuj, Menka and Rags sat in the living room waiting for Yuvraj to come home. The door flew open terrifying everyone. They all turned to look at the door to find Yuvraj stand in the middle soaking wet. Everyone stared at him as if they were staring at a ghost. He stared back at them, emotionless. Yuvraj slowly stepped in and began to walk towards his room. Saurabh walked up to him, "Yuvraj.." Yuvraj walked past him, ignoring him. Saurabh eyes followed him as he disappeared behind him. Saurabh walked to close the door as it began to rattle against the wind. Anuj slide past the side table to get to Yuvraj. He placed his hand out in front of him. Yuvraj eyes stayed downcast for a moment. Pratima made her way to stand behind Yuvraj. When Yuvraj did look up at Anuj, he looked unrecognizable. Anuj slowly lowered his arm. Yuvraj walked past him as Pratima followed him. She was worried for him but didn't know what to do. Yuvraj opened the doors to his room and stepped in. He turned to face his mom who stood, worried for him, at the opposite side of the door. He grabbed both door and slowly began to close it. Pratima stood there as her son face slowly disappeared behind the closing door. A tear streamed down his cheek as he finally closed the door.

I am so sorry for the late update. I ended getting writer's block and when I resolved the issue. I didnt like the way I had initially written this part so I moved a couple of paragraphs around and it just took forever. Hope you enjoy!
----------------------------------
Part 16

The sun shined through the window brightening every corner of Yuvraj's room. If you listened closely you could hear the wind sliding off the curtains as it danced in the sunlight. But there was no one around to listen. It has been nearly 9 months since this room felt alive. The wind started blowing the pages that laid under a paper weight on the table. Nine months ago as Suhani flight took off, a black cloud made it way over the Birla house. After countless attempts trying to get Yuvraj to open the door, Saurabh and Anuj had finally broke it down. They found Yuvraj sitting on the chair with the letter in front of him. Saurabh placed his hand on his shoulder as he sat in front of him. He turns his head towards the table to find out what Yuvraj was staring at. He picked up the letter and began to read it out loud to everyone.

I never thought I would be writing you this letter. Tonight as I looked up at the moonlit sky, it reminds me of the night I found the Chinese lantern outside my window. That night of their anniversary, Sharma aunty and uncle had asked me to release the Chinese lantern as their wished that I find my prince charming soon. While I was letting it go all I could think about was you, I was falling in love with you. But I was scared, I had questioned God if my dreams will ever come true. When I saw the lantern, the symbol of my love, outside my window, it built a hope in my heart. But now I wished I had never asked.

It's not easy to accept the truth. But, no matter how bitter the truth is we have to believe it. I was so confused. I trusted you, I used to think that you will never deceive me. But after what Soumya told me, everything made sense. How could I have been so ignorant that I couldn't even understand after all this time that this relationship was nothing more then a burden on you. My words and thoughts use to annoy you. You just pretended to be happy. You were playing this ruse with me the whole time and I didn't even understand. I thought I knew you very well. I believed in everything you told me. But I never knew you could do something like this.

Why did this happen to me? I have never lied to anyone. But everyone in my life lied to me and hid the truth from me. Everyone knew it that I never deserved to be in that house. Everyone betrayed me, fed me false hope.

How can I be happy in this relationship, when you don't even love me? No marriage or relationship is complete unless your partner loves you. The relationship become meaningless when the guy doesn't even like the girl. Even I too believe that its wrong to get married when there is no love. Especially, when they love someone else and wanted to marry them. In our marriage we followed our duties and we respect each other but there is no love. There is no love and this is the reason both of us aren't happy. We had become good friends but couldn't become husband and wife.

If what Dadi said is true, I cant even blame you for what you have done. You were just entrapped in this forceful relationship. If this is true, I want to apologize to you on my dad's behalf. Had I known that my dad forced you to marry me in exchange of the loan I would've never married you. You were living in a relation that was forced on you. But life has been unfair to me too, I got married to that person whom loves my best friend. What I still don't understand is why did you hide the truth about our relationship? The bank had passed the loan, why didn't you tell me the truth? Why didn't you tell me that you do not care about this relationship? Why didn't you tell me that you don't love me? Why didn't you say that our relationship is just a mere agreement for you? Had you told me this before our marriage we wouldn't have had to suffer. I still cant accept the fact my dad could deceive me. But if this is true then there is no use in complaining about anyone else when my father knowingly tied us in an unwanted relationship.

You can force someone into a relationship but to stay together forever under such circumstances isn't possible for me! The truth is, neither have I been a part of this family nor can I ever be. It's beyond my ability to repair this. How can I take care of something that never belonged to me. There's no point in continuing a relationship which is forced. I've have explained it to myself that one sided love never works. Yuvraj, you have the right to be happy. I give you complete freedom. You may do as you wish. If your happiness lies with Soumya, then I wish you find peace and happiness in this new relationship. You don't have to worry about me, I will not cry or make myself weak. Everything will go on just fine. I am leaving Allahabad Yuvraj, for how long I don't know but before I leave I wanted to just wish you joy and happiness in your new life. We always find peace in the happiness of the people we love and your happiness will always hold importance to me.

Good Bye Yuvraj


They all stared at one another and then at Yuvraj. Their didn't know what to do. They were all in shock by the news that Suhani had left them. Pratima walked over to Yuvraj to hold him but as she tried to find words to relieve him but she couldn't. She couldn't shake the thought that she felt like she was hugging a living corpse. After that night, Yuvraj had locked himself up for days before emerging. When he did emerge he was someone different. As the days went by, Pratima, Saurabh, Anuj and Menka tried their best to bring him back. On the other hand, hearing about Suhani departure, Dadi, Soumya and Rags celebrated as their plans were a success.

It had been nearly two weeks after Yuvraj locked himself in his room that Pratima had fallen sick. Pratima was unable to see her son so lifeless. She knew the only one person to bring him back was gone, vanished. She once tried to reach Suhani parents but being that they were in a tiny village, she wasn't able to reach them. Pratima wasn't able to try again after all she was their daughters culprit. She had purposely taken her son proposal to Suhani house even after knowing Yuvraj had chosen Soumya. She had believed that Suhani would be the one that would be able to change the superficial views of her family. Being selfish at that time, she had not thought about the effects it would have on Suhani life. Now that Suhani was out trying to find herself again, Pratima couldn't become selfish and call her back. She tried her best but wasn't able to help her son. The stress began to take its toll on her health. She had become bed ridden, Anuj, Menka, Saurabh, and Rags all spent the night in her room trying to convince her to go to the hospital but she refused. Their tried endlessly to convince her to go but she didn't give. "No I cant leave him here like that." Anuj sat next to his mom, worried "Ma please.." Pratima passed her hand down his face, "I just need to rest and I will be fine." A tear fell from Anuj eyes, he couldn't see his mom this sick. He wondered where Suhani was, Pratima would have listened to her. He wanted to drag Yuvraj out of his room but felt worthless along with the other. Pratima made them promise not to tell Yuvraj about her health, she didn't want anyone giving him more stress. Menka unable to take it anymore, snuck out of Pratima room and into Yuvraj. She opened up the door and found him sitting on Suhani side against the bed board looking out the window. Like always the only thing lighting up the room was the moonlight. She walked over to him with arrogant. "Come on what is this? You are still depressed over Suhani leaving. Don't be such a crybaby. You are honestly being an idiot. You are Mr. Yuvraj Birla, you could have a thousand girls standing in front of you with a snap of the finger. However, you want to spend your time sitting here being depressed over one girl. Get up and show her you could live with out her. You don't need her." Finding that her words had no effect on him she fell to the floor in front of him and began to cry. "Please Yuvraj bhaiya, none of us can see you like this. Please bhaiya, if not for us for Ma. She is getting stressed seeing you this way and now it beginning to effect her health. Please only you could convince her to go to the hospital." Everyone continued to try and convince Pratima to go to the hospital. Anuj looked up to find Menka making her way into the room with a pale, weak and skinny Yuvraj by her side. Color began to flow back into both of they face, as mother and son laid their eyes on each other. Pratima sat up on her bed as Yuvraj leaped in to hug her. Everyone sat next around Pratima crying as Rags left to give Dadi and Soumya the news that Yuvraj had left his room. That night after coming back home from the hospital, Anuj stayed up all night watching Menka sleeping. He couldn't believe his luck for having such a beautiful and loving wife. His respect had grew day by day for Menka as she helped him take care of Pratima. He slowly began to see the fearless, strong, but innocent girl hidden deep with in her. He cursed himself for always playing with her emotion and teasing her. He felt guilty, maybe if he had given her more attention and a bit more love maybe she wouldn't have been plotting with Rags. He had always stood either in front of her or against her. But now he promised himself he was now going to stand beside her.

While Yuvraj took care of his mom in the hospital, Dadi invites her lawyer home. "Dadi, how will your lawyer help us with Yuvraj?" Soumya asked confused on Dadi's plan to keep her in the Birla house. "Soumya, I made a mistake. I thought when Yuvraj came to realize that you love him, he would throw Suhani out and marry you right away. But you know Pratima, she is such a fool, she made so many mistakes in life that I have lost count. Her errors are messing up her children's lives. Yuvraj is unable to see how perfect you are for him. All he's worried about is that girl. You know Soumya how innocent he is, he isn't able to see people in pain. Suhani knew that and she acted upon it. She did her drama and she made him think you are the reason for all this. It will take time for him to clear his head. But till then I found a way to keep you in the house. I asked my lawyer to give you equal share of the Birla property as Yuvraj." Soumya looks up at her shocked as well as happy that she finally got back the status that she had left for Krishna. She has her own money, her own share. "Dadi thank you so much. You given me back everything that I had lost." Dadi hugs her, "Don't tell Rags and Menka they will feel jealous. Remember you are my favorite and you deserve better." The lawyer arrives with the paper and Dadi happily signed an equal share of property off to Soumya.

After a couple of days Pratima arrives home from the hospital. All seemed normal but a quiet hurricane was stirring inside Yuvraj. He couldn't stand seeing Soumya roam the house freely while Suhani was out there away from her home. But she kept her distances and all he was really worried about was his mother health. He didn't want to cause any drama while she was unwell. He didn't care that Dadi had given Soumya a equal share of the Birla estate. That was a small price to pay to get rid of her. But he felt that the day Pratima got better he wouldn't waste a second on throwing Soumya out. That day slowly came, after his mom had left to go on a religious trip. He returned back home with anger in his heart that no one was able to tell by his external calm expression. He was different, his speech and his expression were emotionless. He enter his house looking for Soumya. Dadi felt Yuvraj eyes searching for Soumya and was worried. She stops Yuvraj in his track. "Yuvraj what is this. Why are you acting this way?" Yuvraj ignored Dadi and walked past her. He didn't understand how she could do this to him. She loved him the most and she was the one behind all the misunderstanding between him and Suhani. Dadi stops him in front of Soumya room, "Yuvraj, I know you.." Dadi stops as she hears a glass break in Soumya room. Dadi turned to open the door but finds it locked. Dadi begins to pound the door, "Soumya, is everything ok." Yuvraj tries to open the door when Soumya opens the door. Her right wrist covered in blood. Soumya looks up at Dadi and Yuvraj and faints. They rush her to the hospital. The doctor come out and inform Dadi that she was fine and that she could be taken home. Dadi walked in alone to see Soumya. "Beta why did you do this? What haven't I given you that you tried to commit suicide." Soumya was surprised, "Suicide? What do you mean?" Dadi looked at her confused and lift Soumya wrist, "This! Why did you do this?" Soumya pulled her hand away. "It was an accident. I went to my room to change. I was unable to look at myself correctly in the mirror because of the light so I took it off. When I was done I tried to put it back but it was so heavy. The mirror slammed into the cabinet door and broke. My wrist got cut when I was trying to put it back upright." Dadi felt as ease, "Thank God you had me worried. How are you feeling now?" Soumya tries to sit up, "I am just feeling weak. Doctor says I am anemic, so that is why I fainted and might be feeling weak for sometime." Dadi smiles and shares her new plans on how to keep her in the house. She takes Soumya home and informs the family that Soumya tried to commit suicide. Yuvraj called and informed his mom about what happen with Soumya. Pratima worried about Soumya asks Yuvraj to leave her alone and not to worry about her.

After seeing that Yuvraj had quit his attempt to kick Soumya out, Dadi rushed to bring Soumya closer to Yuvraj with the help of Rags. Suhani had just left for a short while and before that they had to convince Yuvraj that Soumya had always been right for him. But one month later, good news came for them, Pankaj had called Pratima, even thru Yuvraj had sent the divorce papers he felt it was best to inform them that Suhani had decided to stay at the place where she was visiting.

Pratima requested him to give her the number or name of her location but due to Suhani promise Pankaj was unable to. Standing next to her, Yuvraj refused her to ask a second time. She told him to wish her the best and after that they never heard from Pankaj again. Pratima had seen the fear of losing Suhani in his eyes before but now those eyes were cold and hard to read. He had become mechanical. Pratima always wondered if she would ever be able to see Yuvraj really smile like before. As the family felt depressed by the news, Dadi and Soumya rejoiced to the thought of Suhani never returning. Soumya was slightly heartbroken by the thought that she wont be able to see her best friend again but she was happier that she wasn't living in a fake relationship. She celebrated with Dadi that she was finally going to get what she deserved. Finally, Dadi became at ease after the news, leaving Soumya feeling stranded. With nearly everyone against her, Soumya began to feel alone.

Despite the growing frustration between Dadi and Soumya, Dadi had continued to insults Rags as she praise Soumya. Rags slowly began to realize that all this time she had been fighting for the wrong person. This realization had hit home when she came to learn of Saurabh affair. It was nearly two months since Suhani left, that the girl, Jiya, came to the house. Saurabh had just started working and with Yuvraj depression, he wasn't able to make time to see Jiya. She came there looking for answer but left announcing the affair. Saurabh held on to her hands, "Rags, I am sorry. I didn't know what to do. You were always busy doing other things, you never had time for me. I didn't know who to turn to and then there she was. At first we only spoke once or twice every other week but then it became daily." Rags pushes his hand away but he grabs it again, "I am sorry, Rags I am sorry, we only talked, I promise, we only talked." Rags threw his arms again, "Only talked. Only talked! Then tell me about the lipstick mark Suhani had found on your shirt. How did it get there? Tell me how closely did you guys talk that it left a lipstick mark on your shirt." Rags began to cry for the first time ever since she got married. Saurabh had always been a caring and loving husband. He always did whatever he could do to make her smile. Saurabh looked at her and couldn't take it, he cupped his hands around her face. "Rags, trust me, it never went further then that. I made my mistake by going behind your back but I would never do that to you. That was my first and only mistake I have and will ever make. I am sorry Rags I am sorry." Rags didn't know what to think, she felt the room spin around her. She removed his hands and slowly walked towards Dadi room leaving him tormented by his own guilt. She went to Dadi for comfort but in turn was blamed for the affair. "Well what did you expect from him? Did you expect for him to stand around and wait for you. How could you be so stupid? If only you were more like Soumya, poor girl she is so worried about Yuvraj that she spends day and night trying to make him happy. You never once thought about his happiness, you always been selfish." Rags looked at Dadi bewildered. "Selfish! Dadi you are calling me selfish. Ever since I came into this house, I did everything to impress you. I did all the jobs you gave me. I made myself perfect just for you. I also gave up my modeling dream for you and I am selfish." Rags laid out all her hard work and countless jobs she did for Dadi that lead to the separation of her and her husband but all went in vain. She also tried to blame Saurabh but at heart she knew it wasn't really his fault, it was her. It was then she had let go of her stubbornness to become Dadi no. 1 bahu and decided to make her life better with her husband. He was the only thing that mattered to her now.

Now that the relationship between Dadi's and Rags had turned sour. Dadi except Soumya to do all the work that Suhani and Rags were doing but all of Dadi expectation fell short. Soumya failed in nearly every tasks Dadi threw at her. Leaving Dadi yelling and insulting Soumya time to time. Their loving and caring relationship soon became revengeful. It was a month after Yuvraj and Anuj had joined Saurabh in the company. The family were invited to attend a party. Rags waiting to take her revenge on Soumya found her perfect chance that night. "Yuvraj likes modern girl. Why do you think he looks up to me so much. I walk side by side with my husband. Like take this drink for example." Rags holds her glass up to show Soumya and takes a sip. Soumya looks over to Yuvraj who also held a drink in his hand. He really never drank before but it had now been became a habit. Soumya looks back at the bartender and ordered a drink. Rags smiles as Soumya painfully shallow the drink. Rags orders her another drink to celebrate their success of getting rid of Suhani. Unable to handle the liquor, Soumya passes out. Rags quietly takes her home and reveals Soumya state to Dadi. Dadi and Rags quickly sneak Soumya to her room, "Hurry Rags before Yuvraj comes and sees her this way. How did you let her drink?" Rags opens the door to Soumya room, "Dadi I told her to stop but in returned she yelled at me and said she will do whatever she wants." Dadi look at Soumya with disgust as Rags lays her down on the bed. Rags tries to explain to Soumya about how worried she has gotten Dadi. Under the effects of the alcohol and not realizing Dadi was there, Soumya belittles Dadi, "You worry about her to much. Just bend in front of her and apologize and that old lady with let you get away with murder." Rags smiles but hides it from Dadi. "Dadi is like Hitler who just knows how to bark orders." Soumya said laughing as Rags pulls a blankets on her. She grabs Rags hand, "Is is true that she took Botox, Queen Botox Birla." Rags removes her hand and Soumya continued to insult Dadi as she drifts off to sleep. Rags walks out smiling leaving Dadi upset, vowing to punish Soumya for this."

Unaware of the things she said that night, Dadi begins to punish her in weird and peculiar ways. On her birthday, she gave Ramesh a day off and asks Soumya to cook dinner. Aware of the fact Soumya didn't know how to cook, Dadi decided to stand behind Soumya to order and belittle her on every error she made. Dadi began to dictated everything to Soumya. Saurabh walked in and requested Soumya to make pakore. "Sorry I am busy making dinner." Soumya refused. "Saurabh beta go and rest, Soumya will make it and bring it to you." Dadi stated. Dadi turned to Soumya and told her to heat up the oil. Soumya let the oil overheat as she continued to cut the vegetables. "Soumya, where is your mind, did you forget you have to make pakore. Look you overheated the oil, if any pakore burn you will have to eat it." As Soumya stood next to the stove while Dadi stood behind her, in front of the stove, watching her, Soumya lifted her hand above the pan to put the mixture in. The stream burned her hand forcing her to pull her hand back and as she did she pushed down on the handle. All the oil flew out of the pan and splattered onto Dadi. Everyone ran to the kitchen after hearing Dadi painful cry. They rushed her to the hospital, she had second degree burns only on the right side, her arm, her upper body and her face. After coming back home from recovery at the hospital, Dadi had locked herself in her room. If she came out for meals, she always had her right side covered from everyone. She wanted to get plastic surgery but it was to early as her wound hadn't completely healed. Hearing the news of her accident, her friend came to visit. While waiting for Dadi to come out, her friends see Soumya came out of Yuvraj room drying her hair while she walked across to go to her room. The ladies started gossiping, "What is she still doing here? Wasnt she Suhani best friend?" "I heard she is the reason why Suhani left. She is having an affair with Yuvraj, didn't you see how she came out of his room." "I can't believe Chandrakala is thinking about making her bahu. You know she married her driver's son and now they are divorce." "Really! You remember how much she embarrassed me when I got my son married to a divorcee. She insulted my daughter-in-law by calling her second handed and me by accepting second handed things. Now look who is taking second handed and showing it off." All the ladies bickered as Dadi heard them from a distant. Dadi final approaches them and sits with them covering half her face. They request to see her face but she made an excuse that the wound are not healed so she cant expose so much. Her friend questioned her about Suhani and each give their opinion about Suhani. Soumya came and greeted all of Dadi's friends. Dadi question Soumya about what she was doing in Yuvraj room. Soumya afraid that the ladies only came there to get Yuvraj to married one of their daughter. She laughs at Dadi question "Oh Dadi you know why." She then without saying another word left for the kitchen. Dadi friend slowly continue to give they opinion, Dadi slowly began to see the difference and agreed with her friends, making her realize her mistake.

While the problem at home began to worsen. Problem began to grow at the company. Upon joining the company, Saurabh, Yuvraj and Anuj began to realize how much financial loss the company was really in. Saxena held all crucial information regarding the company from them. Saxena had authorized the company to take out several different loans, each loan paying off the one from before. Saxena was fired due to the scam he committed under the companies name. The company hadn't made any changes in sales and with the bank loans piling on, the company would be forced to be surrender to the bank. The Birla son worked day and night to find ways to save the company. It had been two months since they fired Saxena that Saurabh, Yuvraj and Anuj finally found a solution to their problem. They came rushing home to deliver the good news but found Dadi and Soumya at each other throats again. "This is not what I excepted from you. You know our company is suffering financially but you decide to go out shopping. You don't cook or clean. You cant even do one thing right. How can I except you to be worthy for my grandson." Dadi yelled at Soumya. Dadi couldn't stand her improper spending. Dadi had been dying to get plastic surgery but knowing the company was in trouble she held off. However Soumya continued to spend money as if they were growing off a tree in the back. "If I wanted to cook and clean I wonder have never left Krishna. You were the one who convinced me that I was made for Yuvraj and you would help me. Till now Yuvraj has done nothing but ignored me and what do I have to show for it, nothing. I am just being insulted, You don't think I don't know what your friends call me behind my back, second hand. I did not sign up for this. I have a bad name and it is all your fault." No one has ever spoken back to Dadi before like this. Dadi couldn't take it anymore. "Get out." Soumya looked at Dadi and laughed "You are not serious." "I have never been so serious in my life, get out." Dadi grabbed her hand whiled she continued to cover the right side of her face. She began to pull her towards the door. Soumya pulled her arm back, she had no where to go. Her mom had disowned her, her ex husband had disappeared and her best friend, well she was living in her house. Frighten Soumya played her last card, "Fine, I will go but then I will be forced to sell my share." Dadi looked baffled at Soumya, she had completely forgot that she had given Soumya an equal share. If Soumya was to sell her share, the company will collapse and they would be forced to surrender the company to the bank. Saurabh, Anuj looked at each other shocked. Dadi turned to look at Yuvraj for support, but this time he shook his head as he walked into his room. Yuvraj had never shown any interest in Soumya and Dadi's fight even if had effected the family. He was dead emotionally. Soumya walked towards her room, relived. Rags walked up to Dadi, "Dadi please, you know we are in trouble and she wont listen to you so stop this and let us live in peace. We are all tired of your daily fights." In her entire life, Dadi never felt so weak. People would always look up at her but now she was hiding her face from people. Dadi turned to go to her room but Anuj called her from behind, "Wait Dadi. We have some good news come and sit." Everyone came and sat in the living room. Saurabh called out for Yuvraj to join them. "We found a company willing to help us." Saurabh informed them. Everyone got excited and thank God for a shred of light during this darkness. Anuj continued, "It's a company based in Australia but want to open a branch here in India. They're willing to help rebuild the company for 6 months." Dadi looked confused at them, "Wait what do you mean 6 months." Yuvraj comes out of his room with his clothes changed, "This company will have full access to our company for 6 months. They will look over our account, marketing, sales, everything. With our authorization of course, they are allowed to make changes to whatever they seem fit. For those 6 months, they will help us cut our loss and bring up our sales revenue and remodel our status in the market. If they succeed then we will have to pay them back all the money they put into the company with interest. But there is a down side to this, if by any chance the company value does not rise we will be forced to sell them the company." Pratima looked at her three child afraid to lose the company, "What about the bank loan?" Saurabh being the closest, held his mom hand, "they will take care of half the bank loan while we take care of the other half." Pratima looked up and Dadi to make the decision. Dadi still covering half her face "Can this company be trusted? I trusted Saxena so much and he deceived me." Saurabh turned to look at Dadi, "I was recommended to her by many people and I spoke to her myself. I was quiet impressed by her." Rags looked at him suspicious. Yuvraj caught on and detracted her thoughts from going any further, "Yes she was very professional. I really think we should take up the offer but she has given us time to think. Right now she is busy working on a different company and she said she will give us a call after she is done." Dadi gets up, "Well let her call and we will talk about it then." and like always she disappeared back into her room. Slowly everyone when into their room leaving Yuvraj standing alone. As he turned to walk back to his room, he found Soumya looking down at him. He looked back up at her and then disappeared into his room. She often worried about him, she had never seen him this way so expressionless, so emotionless. She often found herself arguing with Dadi that she never got a chance to really make things right between them. She knew he still loved her, she was just waiting for the day he would admit it.

That was three months ago. Yuvraj came out of the bathroom as he laid out his towel to dry. He caught the movement of the papers from the corner of his eyes. He removed the paper weight and quickly grabbed the papers before the wind could blow them away. He glanced at it for a while. He tried to avoid thinking about the past nine months but time to time again, he found himself reading the letter she left for him. The letter represented the things he wrongfully wanted and all the mistakes he had made. He had wanted to lock himself away forever, he had felt for guilty. But he needed to let it go. He had to let it go for his mother, whom he loved so much. The door to his room opened as he returned the letter back into the drawer in his closet. He turned to find Saurabh standing there with a smile.
