Chapter 13 - Losing Her

At rose garden house,

When Madhav came back he saw his son sleeping soundly on the floor hugging his phone and the photo frame. He looked exausted. Madhav's heart ached to see his son's state. He went to armaan and placed a pillow under his head and covered him with a blanket carefully as he didn't have a heart to woke him up. As he got up to leave, armaan held his hand and statrted to mumble in sleep. "Please don't leave me, abhira. I can't even imagine my life without you. I feel so lost without you. Please forgive me. Please come back...", armaan was crying while talking in sleep. Madhav's eyes also got wet hearing armaan's heartfelt plea. He sat on the floor near his son and started caressing his hair. As of now, all he could do was to pray god to give him the courage to handle abhira's seperation from him as he had no idea how they will get back together.

At goenka house,

No matter how much ruhi tried to sleep, sleep was not even far near. She got up and sat on the bed. She thought about all the incidents happened in her life from her miscarriage till now. Rohit's hatred for her was increasing day by day. Dadi sa was not letting them to even think about divorce in the name of family reputation. Her future was uncertain. She didn't know what will her future hold. She shaked her head to get out of those thoughts. At the moment, her sister is what mattered most to her. She should focus on her, on making her comfortable here, taking care of her. She got up from the bed to check on abhira.

As she went near abhira's room, she nervously knocked the door not sure whether abhira has slept or not. As she didn't get any response, she slowly opened door which was not locked. When she went in, she saw abhira sleeping on the floor like a small child hugging a photo frame. She could guess whose it was. She slowly walked towards abhira and sat on the floor beside her. She could see tension traits on abhira's temple. She was struggling, sweating and mumbling something in sleep. As ruhi leaned downwards, she fainly heard abhira talking to her mumma, akshu maasi. Tears came into ruhi's eyes. Abhira is probably having a nightmare or some unclear flashes of a terrible memory. She promised herself to do everything possible to take care of her lil sister, to make her comfortable. She took abhira's head on her lap and covered her with a blanket grabbing it from the bed. She started patting abhira's head rhythmically humming a lohri. A small smile appeared on abhira's face as she calmed down and started sleeping comfortably. Ruhi also leaned onto bed frame and closed her eyes.

In the morning,

Abhira stirred as sun rays started disturbing her sleep. She felt someone's hand on her head. Soon she realized that she was sleeping on someone's lap. As she looked up, she saw that its ruhi. Abhira got up hastily and sat down. Though she didn't intend to wake up ruhi, it was enough to break her sleep. "Sorry, I didn't want to wake you up. By the way, what are you doing here?", abhira asked surprised seeing ruhi there. "I just came to check up on you. It seemed like you were having trouble with sleep. So I decided to stay back.", ruhi replied with a smile. "You didn't have to. I am fine", abhira said trying to avoid ruhi's gaze. "Its okay, abhira. You don't have to talk about it till you are not comfortable. But I am your elder sister. I will always care for you.", ruhi said with affection filled in her voice. But she understood that abhira still needs some time. "You get freshened up. I am sure that you must be hungry. You didn't eat yesterday night too.", ruhi said as she very well knew that abhira was a foodie. "No,I am not hungry.", abhira said stubbornly. Just then abhira's stomach let out a grovel. Ruhi surpressed her laugh while abhira was looking everywhere but not ruhi's face. "See, your stomach is also agreeing with me. Freshen up soon and come downstairs.",saying this with a smile ruhi left from there. Abhira sat there watching ruhi's retreating figure surprised by ruhi's care for her.

After a while,

abhira went to downstairs when a familiar aroma filled her nostrils. She knew what it was but was surprised to find it here. "Oh...You came to downstairs...Come, lets have breakfast..",saying ruhi brought a bowl and placed it on the dining table. "Goood morning,dear.", manish who also came there with ladies wished abhira lovingly. But abhira didn't wished him back making him sad. Ruhi senesd the tension and decided to divert the topic. "See abhira, what I have made for you?", saying this she opened the lid of the bowl. "Smiley Kachoris...", abhira said while jumping excitedly. "I knew you would like it.", ruhi said happily seeing abhira's excitement. "Yes, but how do you know? This is my mumma's recipe.". Ruhi was about to tell her about how kachoris were made but manish signalled her not to. Ruhi understood and said, "Actually....maasi taught me when I was little. I thought it would make you feel better. Come on, sit down and eat now. Don't punish your poor stomach anymore". Ruhi served kachoris to abhira who was waiting to start with a wide grin plastered on her face. After abhira started to eat, ruhi went to manish and asked, "B-nanu, why didn't you let me tell that it was you who made those kachoris?", ruhi asked. Manish let out a sigh and said, "Ruhi,abhira might not feel comfortable with eating those if she know those are made by me. But fortunately, she seems little comfortable with you. That's why I stopped you. We have to give her time to adjust". Both manish and ruhi looked affectionately at abhira who was savouring kachoris happily while swarna and surekha were serving her more and more, smiling at her child like antics.

At rose garden house,

Armaan suddenly woke up taking abhira's name making madhav also wake up with a jerk."What happened armaan?", madhav asked. He understood that armaan might have had a nightmare. "Calm down, my child. It was just a bad dream.", madhav said trying to console him. "No papa. I saw abhira going away from me. She was trapped in darkness. She is calling me. I should go. She needs me.", saying this armaan got up stumbling while madhav felt helpless to see armaan's desperation for abhira. Armaan was trying go out when madhav immediately stopped him. "Where are you going in such a hurry?", he asked. "What kind of a question is this papa? I am going to hospital. To meet my silly girl, my abhira. She needs me.", armaan replied clearly annoyed with madhav for stopping him. "Armaan, abhira is not in hospital. Goenkas has taken abhira with them. And......", madhav hesitated to say further. "And what papa? Please don't hide things from me anymore.", armaan was getting desperate. Madhav let out a sigh and said, "Doctors have advised to not to reveal abhira's connection with poddars and you to her immediately as she won't be able to take that stress. But seems like goenkas are planning to hide it from her till the end. Manish ji has asked your dadi sa to keep poddars away from both abhira and ruhi,specially from abhira. Due to abhira's fragile health, all of us are helpless.", madhav said in a defeated way.

Armaan felt his world crashing down. No, they can't do this. Abhira is his legally wedded wife, for gods sake. They can't just earse his existance in her life just because abhira forgot him due to that memory loss. No, he won't let them do that. He has to talk to abhira. He has to tell them the truth about their relationship. He is her husband, damn it. Armaan hastily left for goenka house despite madhav's protests. He tried a lot to make armaan understand but all in vain. He helplessly watched armaan's retreating figure praying for both armaan and abhira's safety.

At goenka house,

Abhira was sitting on the swing which was placed on balcony. She loved that place. It reminded her of their resort in mussorie. She was thinking about how her life turned upside down in a snap. Few days back she was living a simple life with her mother bubble wrapped in her love and care and now here she is trapped with some strangers who claims to be her own, without any sense of her future that how it will be. But she knew that she should snap out of this and should start normalizing her life as soon as possible. Atleast she should focus on the her mother's dream which she wished for her, becoming a successful and honest lawyer.

Ruhi who came looking for abhira saw her sitting on the swing. She was lost in deep thoughts. Ruhi went near her and and slowly patted her shoulder. Abhira got startled. "I am sorry, abhira. I didn't mean to scare you.", ruhi said apologitically. "Its okay.", abhira said keeping a straight face. Ruhi thought to break ice. "So, what were you thinking? Any plans about what to do next?", ruhi asked starting a conversation. Abhira let out a sigh and started speaking, "Honestly speaking, I don't know. I have no idea. I feel so lost. Without mumma, I don't know what to do. Every future planning in my life revolved around my mumma. Now without her, everything seems meaningless.", abhira poured her heart out for the first time infront of ruhi. Ruhi's heart ached for her lil sister. She is once again going through the pain of losing her mother because of this memory loss. She knew abhira is a head strong girl but still...

"Is there anything maasi wanted you to do? I am sure she had some dreams for her daughter. Every mother has. I think you should focus on that. You will also feel satisfied and wherever your mother is, she will also be proud of you.", ruhi said trying to guide abhira to the path which had solutions for all the problems. On one hand, abhira will focus on her career so that she will be busy not thinking much about the things which she can't make any sense out of. On the other hand, it will pave a way for armaan and abhira's reunion. If not now maybe in future. "Yes, even I was thinking about that.", abhira said with a smile. "That's nice. But before that focus on your health. You are not fully recovered yet. You have to take care of your exercises, not taking stress and diet..", ruhi said while counting fingers. "Diet?...",abhira said while scrunching her nose in irritation making ruhi laugh. "Don't worry. Lets include healthy but delicious food in your diet. By the way, I have something for you.", saying this ruhi forwarded a mp3 player with headphones towards abhira. Abhira raised her eyebrows in confusion. "Akshara maasi once gave me this. This has some songs and stories which are recorded in her own voice. This helped me a lot when I was in a deep trauma due to school bullying when I was little. I noticed that you have trouble in sleeping. This will definitely help you.",ruhi said while placing it on abhira's hand.

Her mother's voice...Oh...what a relief to listen to her again which she thought she never will. Abhira took it with slightly trembling hands and wore the headphones. She started playing a song on it. "Ooo kaanha ab toh murali ki...madhura suna do taan....", a beautiful krishna bajan started playing in her mother's mesmerizing voice. Abhira felt a sudden calmness washing over her instantly. She leaned onto head board of the swing and closed her eyes. Ruhi was looking at abhira with a smile on her face seeing how she seemed visibly relaxed.

After few minutes,

ruhi heard wierd sound suddenly. As she looked where the sound came, she saw armaan standing few feets away from them shocking her. His eyes were red and hair was messy. It was clear that he is desperate to meet abhira. Ruhi was horrified seeing him there. As much as she wanted armaan and abhira to meet and talk about their relationship, she knew that this wasn't the right time or place, not the right way either. She looked at abhira who was still enjoying her mother's song with closed eyes, oblivious to armaan's presence. As armaan took a step towards them, a strong hand held him and dragged him out their sight. Ruhi could guess who it was. She was confused what to do but decided to stay with abhira as she felt the need to keep abhira away from the tension which is gonna unfold in few more minutes.

Armaan was dragged to the hall by manish. His face was red in anger. "What do you think you are doing Armaan poddar? You are a lawyer yet is breaking into someone's house without permission.",manish said trying to keep calm as he didn't want to make a chaos which will alert abhira. "I am just trying to meet my lawfully wedded wife sir. Its my right. You can't stop me like this.", armaan also tried to keep calm but weighed the word 'LAWFULLY WEDDED WIFE'.

Manish let out a mocking chuckle and asked, "Really, now you remember that she is your wife and you proudly claim it. Where were these rights when you left her in hospital? When you almost killed her due to your negligence by that accident? When you ignored her like she doesn't even exist from past 3 months? You only know how to speak of big promises but can't fulfill any. You promised to keep her happy forever but only gave pain instead. I curse myself for convincing abhira to marry you. You should feel ashamed of yourself for neglecting a gem of a girl like our abhira",manish roared angrily.

"Sir, I know I did wrong with abhira. I did hurt her because of my own stupidity. But, trust me. I have realized my mistakes and I am ready to do whatever it takes to make it up. Please just let me meet abhira once. I need to talk to her. I will do anything for abhira's happiness.", armaan pleaded. "Anything...anything for abhira's happiness...did you mean it?",manish asking raising his eyebrows. "Yes, sir. Anything...", armaan said desperately. "Fine,then leave her alone and stay away from her. Just go away from her life.",manish said firmly. "What? No, sir. Please don't talk like that. I will do anything but not this. Please...", armaan pleaded with folded hands. Tears were falling down from his eyes.

"You said, anything for abhira's happiness. Right? Do you really think you can safeguard abhira from your family's toxicity? Leave your family. Can you guarantee that she won't get hurt because of your unhealthy relationships, your traumas again?", manish asked armaan. He didn't have any answers. Armaan was stunned. He was forced to think about these questions. Is he really ready for this? "No answers, right? Then you better stay away from her. Maybe god did the right thing by erasing you from abhira's memory. He has given my child a second chance to live her life. I won't let her life get destroyed again because of you and your family. Now just get out.",saying this manish threw armaan out and closed the door on his face.

Armaan was broken beyond words. He understand he is LOSING HER. His love, the only person who loved him unconditionally. His legs gave up. He fell on the floor on his knees not being able to take the brutual joke which his destiny is making of him....

To be continued....

Sorry for the late update...got caught with some work...hope you enjoy this...don't blame me if you find this story slow phased...trust me, this is heading towards a beautiful journey of abhimaan...

Beautiful ❤️ Although it’s hard to picture Armaan Sa like this, sometimes you have to lose the small battles to win the bigger ones. And as for Ruhi-if the show’s Ruhi had a similar depth, it would have added so much more to her character and the storyline. And, our old is gold hero MG

This is Turtle Sa's story-slow and steady wins the race (and our hearts).

Thanks for the tag, Sajini. Can’t wait for the next one!

Armaan even he is a smart good lawyer, but still a manchild. Who loves his family and endures their toxicty.

When Manish told the truth is he was stumped as always

Ruhi love her mature nature. So refreshing.

take care

Emotional update,cont soon

Waiting for nxt part

Next chapter...enjoy..

Chapter 14 - Healing the HEALER

Armaan was still sitting on the floor infront of the closed door of goenka house. Its been almost an hour. Tears were falling down from his eyes without a break. He was still shocked not being able to digest what just happened. How he suddenly became a stranger in his own wife's life. Suddenly, he felt a hand on his shoulder. As looked up, he saw his father standing by looking at him with teary eyes.

Madhav felt so helpless seeing his son's state. He had an idea that manish goenka won't let armaan meet abhira that's why he tried to stop him. Now there he is...Totally broken...He made armaan stand up and almost dragged away his lifeless figure with him. After walking away for a while madhav started to speak. "Armaan, listen my son. We...", madhav was cut short by armaan. "Papa, can you leave me alone please?", armaan asked. "Armaan, you can't always escape like this. You have to face the truth.", madhav said not understanding what armaan is upto. "Please papa..I am not running away. Infact, its now that I am facing the reality. Please let me go. I need some space.", saying this armaan left from there leaving madhav to wonder about armaan's calm demeanor as he can bet that armaan's meeting with goenkas was not less than a storm.

Armaan started to walking on the road lost in thoughts. He knew the questions which abhira's parnanu asked from him are valid. Those questions are the once he should find answers if he really needs to fix what went wrong between him and abhira. The bitter realization that he should save abhira not only from his family's toxicity but also from himself made his heart break into million pieces. His habit of enduring insults silently, accepting unfair punishments when he was not even at a fault, running after their validation and conditional-occational love made him weak and low in self esteem when it comes to his toxic relationships with his family which made abhira suffer too. Even though he selfishly wanted abhira to be with him but he never thought that he himself has become the CONTINUOUS SOURCE of abhira's pain. Yes, he admitted that he did mistakes and he did payed for them.

But it was not enough. Before becoming a part of abhira's life again, he should become worthy of her. First, he should heal himself so that broken pieces of his soul won't wound her. Suddenly, a pouring rain started to wash over him like it was symbolizing his new resolute to make himself capable of giving abhira the love and life which she deserved. But in this journey, he knew he had to face lot of demons not only outside but also inside him. He was all alone in this new journey. Some of his family members truly cared and supported him but this is a journey which he has to complete alone, in the name of his love for abhira, not only for her but also for himself.

As he was lost in thoughts, he didn't realize that he was walking towards an open manhole on the road which was left open by some irresponsible idiots. But fortunately, a sharp barking sound made him snap out of his thoughts before it was too late. As he saved himself, he looked for his saviour who was standing beside him while shivering because of the rain. His lips curved into a warm smile seeing this little puppy who just saved him from a grave danger. He bent down and picked him in his hands. "Hi buddy, thank you for saving my life.", armaan said while smiling. As if he understood what armaan said, he looked at him and started licking his face making armaan laugh. "Okay buddy, that's enough. By the way, where is your mother? Is there anyone from your family?",armaan looked around to see if he could find this cute liitle puppy's family somewhere. But there was noone. He sighed, "Well, seems like you are also left alone like me despite having your own family. But its okay. You have me. I won't leave you alone. Would you like to come with me? Shall we become friends?", armaan asked still keeping that small smile on his face. The puppy let out a little bark as if he is agreeing to go with him. Armaan scooped his new found friend in his hands and rushed towards his mother's house to find some solace for both of them.

After one month,

Abhira was gradually recovering under ruhi's care. Though abhira hasn't melted for goenka elders much, she has started developing a good sibling kind a bond with ruhi. Ruhi always made sure to take care of abhira and be with her on all possible moments. After that day, ruhi wondered where armaan could be as he never showed up again. Did he give up on abhira? Just like that...She was gonna give him a piece of mind if that's the case. But as of now, its important to keep abhira away from all the stresses so she decided to wait a little more. On the other hand, manish took care of that not any poddars were allowed near abhira. He was determined to erase all the signs of poddars from abhira's life. Even though he knew its not gonna be easy, but he promised himself that he won't let abhira suffer because of them anymore.

Ruhi understood that abhira is feeling suffocated by just being in the house. So after consulting abhira's doctor, she made sure to take abhira out occasionally. She took abhira to all her favorite places and to the places which she felt abhira would like, in udaipur. Sometimes good restaurants to eat abhira's favorite food, sometimes library and bookshops as abhira loved reading, sometimes play stations to play like kids....and much more.

Also ruhi made sure to share past events about her akshu maasi, abhinav mausa ji with abhira while showing some pictures, not mentioning about abhir as she thought there must be a reason that her maasi didn't tell abhira about him. Abhira was listening to all of them excitedly like a liitle kid who is listening to fairy tales. As abhira couldn't meet her father when he was alive and she never got to see her parents together, it meant a lot for her. As time went through and abhira's bond with her grew stronger, ruhi regretted about them not being able to grow up together since childhood.

Abhira was slowly recovering from her loss. Even though the void which is left in her life due to her mother's death will never be filled, her bond with ruhi filled her with similar kind of warmth which he shared with her mother. Ruhi was literally taking care of her as if she was a small kid. Sometimes it irritated her but she secretly enjoyed it. She didn't feel bad as she understood where it came from. Although she is still not much close to the elders but she did start treating them politely as she didn't want to upset both ruhi and her late mother. Still she couldn't accept them completely because of the way they left her mother alone in the most vulnerable phase of her life.

Meanwhile, armaan was also struggling to come to terms with the changes that has happened in his life. Yet he was trying his best to to adjust. He refused come back to poddar house for a while. He stayed at rose garden house trying to feel his mother's presence there and refreshing his and abhira's memories which were connected with that house. When his father told him that how his mother's soul blessed abhira when she first stepped into this house, he understood abhira was the angel whom his mother sent in his life. So he was determined to become worthy of her before getting back with her.Everyone in the family, even dadi sa understood his need for space but vidya was still pissed off as armaan wanted to stay at shivani's place. His father didn't want to leave him alone so stayed with him but couldn't spend much time with him as he was busy with a special case, also trying find out the truck which caused their accident. Chorus gang and chachi sa-chacha sa checked on him by calling daily but avoided visiting him giving him the much needed peace.

Amid all these, there was a one person who was always with him, giving him company and helping him to handle himself in this tough time. Shadow, his little new friend who was following him everywhere just like his shadow. This little guy was healing something he never broke.

One fine morning......

At goenka house,

Ruhi knocked on abhira's room's door to gain her attention who was busy revising some law books. When abhira expressed her desire to complete her studies, another problem rose for them. Abhira has already completed her studies and was working as a lawyer. In fact despite her problems with armaan, she was doing very well proffesionally in those 3 months which she worked in poddar firm. But how could they tell her? However, they managed to tell abhira that she has already completed her degree with flying grades and were working in a firm too, without mentioning its name. But because of her memory loss due to an accident, she couldn't remember those. They lied to abhira that she is with them since akshara's death. Even though pissed on them at first, abhira slowly came to terms with this as doctor made her understand that they delayed telling it to her due to fragile health. The doctor who was unaware of manish's plan to erase the existance of poddars in abhira's life helped them thinking its for temporarily purpose as she herself advised. Even though abhira was physically fit more than earlier, still it was advised to keep her away from stress and shocks.

When abhira revised the acedemic year which she thought she missed, she understood that she really remembers all those surprisingly. Though she was confused about this, doctor explained that she has only forgotten particular part of her memory like her friends, interactions with people, but she does remember her studies and daily chores, habits...etc....and it is completely normal in this condition. Even though ruhi suggested her to join back as a lawyer because she remembers all her studies, abhira was spectacular about that. She was not sure if she is ready for that. This messed up memory has made her confidence low in some particular fields.

So after thinking a lot, she decided to pursue masters while working. Manish was more than happy to take the cost of abhira's studies but abhira firmly declared that she will apply for an scholarship. Much to his dismay, abhira stood firm in her decision. After a lot of attempts to convince her, manish finally gave in to her stubbornness not wanting to upset abhira more. So, she was getting ready for an exam for a scholarship and luckily there was a one in 2 weeks. Despite being little nervous about being able to make it in 2 weeks, abhira thought 'lets give it a try' and started preparations. Tomorrow is the exam.

Ruhi thought to go to mandir with abhira to take blessings for her exam. When she saw abhira was drown in law books and notes, she couldn't help but laugh at her nervousness. Ruhi's liitle laugh made abhira turn to her side. "What is so funny about this, di?", abhira asked irritated with ruhi. "Arre baba, don't get angry. I was just getting surprised that my brilliant lil sis is taking so much stress on this when I am sure that she is all ready for the exam. That's it.",ruhi said quickly sensing abhira's irritation. Abhira sighed, " I don't know yaar. No matter how much I studied, still feel like its not enough and I am not ready yet. I don't know what to do". Ruhi came to abhira and ruffled her hair lovingly. "Don't worry.You will kill it tomorrow. But now you need some rest. Remember, doctor asked you to not to get much stress. Come on now, lets go to mandir and take blessings, praying for your success. You will also get some relaxation ",said ruhi. Abhira after thinking for few minutes, "Yeah, that sounds good. I really need a break now. Even after this much preparation if I couldn't make it, then only god can save me", abhira said in a faked seriousness making ruhi chuckle.

Ruhi looked at abhira who was enjoying the view outside while listening to a song. She seemed visibly relaxed which relieved ruhi as she was worried about abhira taking stress on exam. Tomorrow is not a exam for just abhira but for ruhi too. She has taken a very important decision about her life. Either it will break or make it all. She knew that many will oppose her decision and some will support. But she was determined to do it to rectify her mistakes. As the car was traveling towards mandir, ruhi's mind wandered to the incident which compelled her to take this decision after being on the fence for a while.

One week before, (flashback)

Ruhi was reading a book as sleep was far away from her. Just then her phone rang. When she saw it was ROHIT, much to her surprise, It was about about 1am. She hesitantly answered the phone only to get informed by a bar tender that rohit has drunk so much and passed out there itself. As ruhi's number was on emergency contacts saved as WIFEY, he has called her. Ruhi immediately rushed to the location which was shared by that bar tender. With much difficulty, ruhi made rohit sit in the car with driver's help and headed towards poddar mansion. Throughout the ride, rohit was only mumbling about how much he loved her and how her betrayal destroyed him, making her regret run deeper. So, after thinking a lot, she has made a decision. Not only abhira but she also needed blessings.

Ruhi suddenly felt abhira shaking her making her come out of her trance. "Di, where are you lost? I have been calling you for a while. Is everything alright?", abhira asked with concern. She knew that ruhi's marriage was on rocks after her unfortunate miscarriage. Even though she was supposedly angry with her jiju whom she didn't meet yet for leaving ruhi to deal alone with that pain, ruhi told her that it was entirely her fault and she did something which brutally hurt her husband. Even though abhira didn't know what exactly happened, she could see ruhi regretting genuinely. But since it was their personal matter, she couldn't do much apart from consoling ruhi and trying to cheer her up.

"Listen di, I can guess about whom you were thinking. I don't want to interfere in your personal matters and I am sure you will take the right decision this time. Just remember one thing that I am here for you. I know I can't do much but you can always share with me if something is bothering you. I might not be able give a solution but you will feel better by sharing it.", abhira said in a assuring tone. Ruhi smiled seeing abhira's innocence filled eyes while her eyes also got moist hearing the sincerity in her voice. She patted abhira's cheek lovingly and said,"That's more than enough, bachcha..."

Armaan also came to the same mandir and went ask for blessings. Ruhi and abhira also went to the same place where armaan was praying. Suddenly abhira got a call from her kipling uncle from mussorie. As it was urgent, abhira went aside for a while to talk. Ruhi was waiting for abhira. That's when she heard a familiar voice taking abhira's name and asking pandit ji to bless her for her good health and success. As she turned, she was surprised to see armaan there. "Armaan...",ruhi called in a surprise filled voice. Armaan was also surprised to ruhi there. "Oh...Ruhi...You are here?...how are you?", armaan tried to complete basic formalities of politeness.

"Cut off formalities, Mr.Armaan Poddar. Where were you all these days? You never showed up again after that day where B-nanu didn't allow you to meet abhira. Where the you have been? Do you plan on ditching my sister just like that? I agree that there is a big problem but you just can't escape like this? You fought with everyone to marry her and now you are just giving up..just like that...Really?", ruhi went on ranting in anger.

"Slow down ruhi, I neither plan to give up on abhira nor running away. I just needed sometime to think. To think about what is the best for both abhira and me. I know that I didn't show up but I was watching over abhira, how she was getting bored being in goenka house, how she enjoyed her favorite food with you in her favorite restaurant, how she played like a in play stations, how she enjoyed watching rabhir's movies in theater...", armaan kept on saying while keeping a dreamy smile on his face....

"Wait, these are all the things that we did together as abhira was getting bored as you said. Don't tell me that you were following us...", ruhi asked she was getting confused with armaan's rant. But seeing wide grin plastered on his face she realized what she thought was true. "Come on armaan, you are her husband. Stop stalking her.", ruhi said in an annoyed tone.

Armaan left out a sight, "I know,ruhi. As of now, I have to stay away from her for her own betterment. Abhira is my angel who taught me to take a stand for myself and guided me to look through the toxic relationships in my life. But I myself became the reason of her pain. So For now, I AM LETTING HER GO. Its not like I am giving up on her or our relationship. But before getting back with her, I should make sure myself worthy of her and her love. I let her get hurt because of my own problems and traumas. First, I should face those demons inside me and BREAKFREE. Also, I know that she also needs time to heal from losing her mother which she didn't gett last time. I AM SURE THAT WITH TIME, WE WILL FIND OUR WAY TO EACHOTHER WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT. TILL THEN, I WILL WAIT.", armaan said in a voice mixed with pain, love and determination.

Ruhi smiled hearing him, "Since you told me this, I would also like to inform you that I am getting back with rohit. I know he hates me and will try to take his anger on me. But I will try my best to mend things. I can't let him destroy himself because of me. He was a sunshine person and look now what he has become because of my mistakes. HE BECAME MY HEALER BUT I WOUNDED HIM BADLY. NOW, ITS MY TURN TO HEAL HIS WOUNDS.", ruhi said.

"HEALING THE HEALER...", both of them said in unison with a smile on their face.

"Di, where are you?", suddenly they heard abhira calling ruhi. Ruhi turned towards abhira ."See, you can see your wife now without hiding", saying this she turned towards armaan again only find him vanished from the place. "What happened,di? Are you looking for someone?",abhira asked in confusion. "Seems like your husband only likes to watch you as a stalker.",ruhi mumbled under her breath making abhira more confused. "Di, what are you doing yaar?", abhira said in irritation unable to understand what is ruhi doing.

"Aah...nothing..I was just waiting for you. By the way, whose call it was? It took so long.",ruhi asked to divert the topic. "It was kipling uncle. Remember, I told you that I am thinking to give our resort on lease as kipling uncle can't handle it alone anymore and I am also not there. So, he informed me about an old client of mumma who was so much interested in resort. Mumma didn't agree to sell the resort that time even though that person was a very good person and was giving a handsome rate. So I was thinking to contact him. But kipling uncle doesn't know his number. Seems like I will have to go through mumma's old phone to find his contacts.", abhira explained her plan. "Hmm...That's good..Fine, lets go then.", saying this ruhi left from there with abhira.

As she doubted, armaan was watching them from far. "We will find our way to eachother, my silly girl. One day, we will..."

Two people who have hurt their beloveds were drown in guilt. They got out of guilt and now taking step by step to HEAL THEIR HEALERS.... HE, BY LETTING HER GO WITH THE UNDYNG HOPE OF A UNION IN FUTURE...THE OTHER, BY HOLDING ON TO SAVE HER BELOVED FROM BURNING IN FLAMES OF HIS OWN HATRED......
