Morning rays hit Vivaans face.He frowned finding himself.Resting his back on bed.Still sitting in carpet.How he dozed off last night.Whole night he read letter.Last words and love.Left by Ramya comforted him.He kept it closer to his heart.He opened his eyes.Feeling pain on head.Realized it was already morning.He was sitting same way whole night.He remembered all events.Ramya and letter.His changed life.He couldnt forget her every word.She expressed with emotion.He wished she was here.He could give her his life.He shut his eyes.He knew she was watching him.He got up.Heard knock on door.

Sh-"Its been morning.What went with you.Last night.Do you know.

Me and your dad.Couldnt sleep whole night.Vivaan how can you be."

Shivani stopped feeling.His son giving her hug.She was taken back.She smiled responding to hug.Ruffled his hair.She could see his eyes.Red and puffy.He has been depressed whole night.She wanted him to go through this.Once and end this.Letter given by Ramya was with her.She has kept it safely.It was time now she thought.Vivaan should understand reality.Thats why she kept it for him.Vivaan wiped his tears.He couldnt meet his mothers eyes.She made him face her.

Sh-"My son is strong.Nothing can break him."

V-"Im weak Mom.I failed Ramya.What if she is depressed with my decision."

Sh-"No one knew Ramya better than you.If you think what message.She left for you.

You can understand.You should respect decision.Took for your son.Its for him.

Life cant stop Vivaan.It has to move on.Have faith on me.I know what will be best.

For my son.You should do now.Whats best for your son.Getting me."

Shivani left before informing Vivaan.He needs to visit temple.With Varna today.He took shower.Keeping letter safely in his special place.He was combing hair.When stopped.Thinking about next situation.He has to face lot of things.He didnt knew how his heart.Will make him do them.He shut his eyes.Looked at Ramyas picture.He touched it with faint smile.

V-"For you.Will replace my tears.With smile."

Varna heard cries of Pranush.She opened her eyes.Became alert and went to pick him.Patting his back.He felt baby was uneasy.She walked in room.For some time.He was still crying loudly.Heard knock on door.She opened door.Find Nandini standing with surprise expression.On face.Varnas eyes were red.Due to lack of sleep at night.Nandini looked at small room.Which had nothing of Varnas needs.Bed was too small.She patted Pranushs back too.

N-"He must be hungry.Will get his bottle.You freshen up.Let me take him.

Mom and others are downstairs.Will handle him."

Varna wanted to say no.She thought she should get fresh too.She didnt knew.When dozed off.Resting his back on bed.Whole night she was thinking.She gave Pranush to Nandini.Who tried best to pamper him.With kisses and pats.Varna felt tug at her saree.Pranush was holding end of her saree.In his tiny fingers.He gave loud wail.Looking at her direction.She stood stiff for some time.Nandini smiled giving kiss to Pranush.

N-"Pranush now wants his Amma only.What about poor us.

She will be here.Time to fill your tummy.Come lets go."

Nandini softly moved Varnas saree from his hold.He cried more.She eyed Varna come soon.Varna realized some different feeling.Inside her.Her heart wasnt feeling peace.With babys cries.She wanted him to be calm.She looked around and realized.Her belongings werent in this room.She couldnt dare to go to other room.After insult last day.She sat on bed.Kept on thinking with.Tired feeling.She found helper.Entering room.With her things.

H-"Vivaan Sir has asked.You to give your bags here.

All are waiting for you.Downstairs."

Vivaan took Pranush.Showered him with lots of kisses.Baby was in good mood too.All looked at him.With surprise expression.he looked different today.Lata gave bottle to him.He started giving him slowly.Taking care.Baby had milk from bottle.He looked hungry.Vivaan held him feeling content.Shivani smiled at her son.With satisfaction.She asked Nandini where Varna was.

Sh-"Vivaan you sent Varnas belongings.To Pranush room.Why did you do that."

V-"Can scold me later Mom.hear me out.If she wises to stay there.She should have her things.

She will need them."

L-"But Vivaan that room is too small.Filled up with toys.How will she manage there."

Vivaan didnt argue any further.He left with Pranush.Shivani knew there is.Long way to go to fix things up.She was happy least he started.Respond in positive way.She became worried.Not seeing Varna for long.

Varna took shower.She changed to light color dress.Fixing stole on her shoulder.She was frustrated.Searched her whole bag.Finding it filled up with heavy.Sarees and few casual wears.She was angry at.Karuna how she gave her sarees.She hates wearing them.How will she survive without dresses.Before she could calm her temper.Heard another knock on door.Call for her to go down.She kicked bag on her way.

Varna wanted to avoid breakfast.She was helpless with nice treatment.Getting from every member of house.She didnt knew what to do.She caught her head.Sitting on table.Nandini came with toast.Dosa and juice.

N-"Sorry Varna.Dont know what you prefer.So got all of them."

V-"Im not hungry.Where is Pranush?"

Lata and Shivani came.Smiles lightened bit.Finding Varna in.Colorless dress.Her vermilion was there.Light in color.They looked at each other.Its expected.New bride wear colorful dresses.But they didnt knew.How to approach Varna.Fearing if she would misunderstand.Situation was very fragile.

Sh-"Have something Varna.You didnt have anything.Last night too."

N-"Pranush is safe.With Vivaan Anna.He is having breakfast.

Have this juice.Have to get ready.Visit temple.I have to leave for hospital too."

Varna was forced pick glass of juice.Another problem was there for her.She has to do these things.Along with him.She wanted to run away from there.She swallowed juice.Like hard pill.With moist eyes.But her face softened.As she heard Pranush voice.She started looking for him.Shivani and Lata was observing her.Pranush was coughing.Varna rushed to him.Vivaan was patting his back.He had bottle.Half filled with milk.He tried to calm him down.Varna came taking Pranush from him.She kissed his soft fingers.She lulled baby in her hold.She quickly rushed to table.Asking for some warm water.It came and she fed.To baby with spoon.

Vivaan stood watching this.He became worried.Not being able to calm his baby.Varna did that within seconds.He didnt knew.For that moment he felt.he was wrong.Regretting over his decision.For second he could see.How badly Pranush needed.Varna and not anyone.Varna secured baby in her arms.She settled on chair.Making him have bottle.He had it without any fuss.Shivani was beside Vivaan.

Sh-"Hope now you realize.Your decision can never be wrong.

Pranush needed mother.You gave him."

Vivaan didnt say anything.But Shivani could see.Calm look on his face.Said he agreed.She prayed for day.Come soon when he will realize.He needs life partner too.He and Varna will.heal each others wounds.She touched Varnas head.Giving her smile.

Sh-"He is so naughty.Since got his mother now.Doesnt want to leave her.

Dont know how to thank you.Varna for doing.Favor on us."

Varna kept quiet.As Shivani left.She gave faint smile.She thought if she did this.For herself too.She couldnt refuse herself.No matter how harsh she has been.With this decision.She needed Pranush too.Her heart yearns for him.She held his hand.Kissing it lightly.Shutting her eyes.She wanted to live.Feel peace with everything.

Varna relaxed in room.She thought journey to temple.Things would be awkward.She felt relieved after spending whole day.Somehow she now sat on small bed.Feeling tired and dropped her head on pillow.Sweet fragrance of baby things hit her nose.She couldnt stop thinking about.Pranush for time.He has been reason.Saving her fully from time.She came here.Else she would have died.She thought to catch some sleep.

At evening everyone came back from work.Settled together having chat.Vivaan took shower.Asked about Pranush and got to know.He was in room.Sleeping with Varna.he wanted to go to him.But stopped thinking about awkwardness.Nandini came back too early.She helped other ladies with dinner.

Varna stirred in her sleep.She frowned with some noise.Disturbing her.She opened her eyes.Checking on crib.Baby was sleeping.She cursed person at door.Baby would be awake with bangs.Nandini got tired with banging door.She entered room slowly.Watching Pranush asleep.She saw Varna still on bed.She had frown on face.As she opened eyes.She got startled seeing Nandini.Pillow fell.She got up.Fixing her stole.

N-"Its ok Varna.Think you were deep sleep."

V-"Im sorry.Didnt knew.When I dozed off."

N-"Why saying sorry.It happens.New place so will take time.For sleeping habits.

By way.Do you know.How long did you sleep."

Varna checked time.With sleepy eyes.She got shocked.It was late evening.She didnt realize.Nandini came to her.With smile on face.

N-"Its ok.You can sleep for long.But make sure.Dont sleep empty stomach.

Its not good.As doctor can advise you.Come down now.All are waiting for dinner."

Varna took breathe.As Nandini left.She felt weird with.So many people around.At home she always lived alone.With having few members.Ramya loved being around.With people always.Varna lived in loneliness.She preferred to.She caught her head.Went to wash her face.

Vikram didnt look happy with decision.Vivaan was keen on taking.All were present except Varna.Who was busy with Pranush in room after dinner.Shivani eyed her husband.Calm down and hear what Vivaan wants to say.

V-"No Vivaan I cant accept this.You want to go away.For three months.

If Reyaansh is agreeing.He can be there.Without any problems."

V-"Dad why should he.Dont you think he has personal life too.How long has it been.

He got married.Does he spend time with Nandini."

R-"Anna its fine.Mean she is ok with this decision.Dont need to leave everything.

I will go."

V-"Still Vivaan.I suggest you should stay here.Reyansh can handle this.He can be there.

Come back here in weekends."

R-"Yes I can do that.Say yes Anna."

V-"Shut up Rey.Why cant I do same then.In these months.Enough has been done.

He was only one.handling all stress and work.Its time I should do too.Please Dad."

Sh-"If Vivaan wants to go.Let him.He can handle this project.Since he has been.

In Chenna often."

V-"Shivani I cant believe you.Are believing on sending him?"

Sh-"Why not.Its good he wants.To concentrate on work now.Vivaan you will go.

Will ask Varna.Pack her and Pranush bags too."

V-"What.I mean why Mom.What will they do there."

V-"Shivani you are sending them.Off too?"

Sh-"Why not.If Vivaan thinks of going.For three months.He should take his wife and son.

Will you be able.Live without seeing Pranush face."

V-"No I mean.Will come over weekends Mom.They have no work there.

They will be comfortable here."

Sh-"Wife feels comfort.With husband after marriage.Three months is long time.

I have made decision.Now its up to you.Want to go.or stay."

Reyansh smirked at Nandini.Both understood why Shivani.Took this decision.Vivaan was in doubts.Was one of reasons he wanted.Be away from this place.He cant handle additional stress.In form of this marriage.But it was true too.He cant stay away from Pranush.He had to say yes.With difficulty later.Varna didnt have idea.About this till she was informed by Shivani.First she felt angry.She was tired of this.Switching mode from there to here.But made her relieved was.She will free from interacting with.So many people.She can be alone there.With Pranush.Someone else will be there too.

At night Nandini was applying lotion.Sitting on dresser.She looked busy in some thoughts.Reyansh was drinking coffee.Keeping his eyes on his wife.He smirked and went to her.Wrapping his arms around her.From back.Kissing her neck.She felt him.

N-"Rey what are you doing.Door is open.Move shameless."

R-"When do I get time.Romance my wife.See even Anna knows.

How poor Im.In this department.Come lets not waste time."

He picked her up.Locking door.Went to bed.He took some time.Melt her in his arms.Reaching peak of passion.Till both were in arms of heaven.Content with loving each other.After some time.They were on bed.Lights dimmed in room.Nandini moved her fingers on his bare chest.He kissed her head.They felt peace.After so long.Able to spend some time together.

N-"Rey do you think.Decision by Anna is right.Mean its too early.For Varna being with him.

Alone and so far."

R-"I know but its good.In way.We cant doubt.On one who decided on this.

Should get some time.Know each other.We are not that far."

N-"Still something pricking me.Dont think Varna will able to.Manage without any of us.

They dont even talk.With each other.How will they live.Under one roof."

R-"Well they have to talk.Being alone.My wife is so dumb.

Who made you doctor."

N-"Shut up.I was thinking.In depth.You wont get it.

Poor Pranush.Its good he got mother.Will miss him."

R-"We can have Pranush too.if you want."

N-"No Rey.I mean it can be easy.Look after baby.Being aunt.

When you become mother.You have to be prepared.With heart and mind.You think you are?"

R-"Absolutely not."

N-"You are idiot.Now move from me.Im sleepy."

R-"I love you so much.for what you are.Have seen how selflessly.

You looked after everything.These months.Thank you."

N-"Its my house.My family.No need to thank me."

R-"I just wish Nandu.Everything falls on place.Let this time.

Change both Anna and Varnas life.For better."

Nothing could be done to change.Vivaans decision.Since everyone thought.Would be better.Leave both of them together.Alone for some time.Next morning everything was getting prepared.Vivaan was wearing his watch.Heard someone on door.He was arranging his files.When eyes fell.At person on door.he didnt look back.But he didnt knew.Why he could feel presence.He felt restless.Look back finding.Varna standing with light frown on face.She was looking down.Still in entrance.She havent entered room.He felt surprised.Seeing her there.Both of them.Maintained silence.Confused with how to say anything.

Var-"Wanted to tell you something."

V-"What.You can come in."

Var-"Since its decided we are going Chennai.Want to tell you.If we can stay.

Alone."

Vivaan frowned not getting.What she tried to say.He went to her.Irritated with her behavior.He has asked her to come inside.She was stubborn.Standing in same position.Not meeting his eyes.He finally.Stood facing her.His eyes still wild.

V-"Didnt get you."

Var-"I dont want to stay.At my place.Would be better.If we stay.

Some other place.Can manage anywhere."

Vivaan was stunned.hear her words.Before eh could reply.She left with her unclear words.He could never understand her.He thought and continued his work.
