It has been a week since Pranav confessed to Tulasi about his real face and he didn't have the courage to face her neither it was easy for Tulasi to forgive him that easily, though he was her favorite it shook her, that was the last thing she expected to happen.

Partly she blamed herself, maybe she was wrong in upbringing him properly or maybe she was too dear to him that he couldn't open up totally to her.

On the other hand Pranav was back in his shell not as an arrogant person but he blocked everyone out of his daily routine. He would just go to work and come back home late and try to sleep and repeat. Sahana was trying to catch up with him but her resignation was already given so she couldn't go back to office along with him.

One day, Pranav came back home at around 11am as he forgot some files. Sahana caught him, she really wanted to talk to him.

Sahana : Pranav, we need to talk.

Pranav : Not now Sahana, we'll talk tonight. I have an important meeting in an hour.

Sahana : Just keep this in mind, I'll be waiting for you and Pranavi said she'll meet me today evening.

He was about to open the door but he stopped and turned around to look at her if she was really serious.

Pranav : Where are you guys meeting?

Sahana : Will you come?

Pranav : I am not ready to face her or maa at the moment.

Sahana : I know, you can just sit somewhere else and have a glimpse of her and at the end we'll talk. We'll face this together? Yea?

Pranav : I'll see

That was all he said and he went from there. Sahana was relaxed that at least tonight she can talk it out to him.

It was new to Sahana as well to see this depressed version of Pranav, she never expected something like this would happen but at the end of the day unexpected things always happen in our lives.

She tried to talk to her mother in law too, but she just said she needed some space and it's not like she isn't willing to see his face or never talk to him ever, she just needed some time.

So in this meantime, Sahana wanted him to clear things with his sister at least. That evening she got dressed in her casuals and left for the restaurant after informing her mother in law that she was going to meet her new friend.

When she reached there, Pranavi was already there and she was surfing her phone. She stood at the entrance and called Pranav but he didn't answer the call. She sighed and went to the place which was reserved by her.

Pranavi just gave her a warm smile and she smiled back at her.

Pranavi : Sahana, actually does Bhai know you're meeting me?

Sahana : He knows about my every movement, he knows about our previous meeting too and he told me about it all.

Pranavi : He did?

Sahana : Yeah, before that I want to ask you one thing, are you happy in your life Pranavi?

Pranavi chuckled sadly.

Pranavi : If you would have asked me this question three years back you would have got a negative answer Sahana but now whatever is happening I am trying to be happy and find my happiness in things which I can.

As it was getting dark, pleasant music started playing in the background.

Sahana didn't expect an answer like this from her. She was sure Pranavi went through a rough past just like her husband. Before she could ask her about it, her phone buzzed.

Pranavi : Hello, yea! I am coming, I'll be there soon. Sorry Sahana, I have an emergency and I need to go. I am really sorry. I'll meet you again, bye take care.

She rushed out from there. Sahana was worried looking at her but before she could get up from there a stronghold on her hand and she sat back.

Sahana : You?

Pranav : Yes, me!

Sahana : You didn't answer my call and why are you here?

Pranav : It's been a long time, I saw her. What happened to her? Why did she look so worried?

Sahana : She got a call and after that she left, she did not say anything about it.

Pranav : Dad is coming tonight!

Sahana : Oh! That's cool. I missed my uncle.

Pranav : Let's have dinner and go, it's time already.

Pranav ordered all vegetarian food and Sahana was taken aback, as far as she knew he loved eating non veg and chicken was famous in the restaurant they were in. She looked at him suspiciously.

Pranav : What? Why are you looking at me like that?

Sahana : Why aren't you ordering your favorite?

Pranav : I don't feel like eating it.

Sahana : Is that all?

Pranav : Actually, I promised myself I won't eat non veg till maa talks to me.

He blurted out and she was about to look at him with sympathy.

Pranav : Don't give me that look, I hate it. Have your dinner quick.

She stuck tongue out to him and dug in.

Sahana : Pranav, chocolate pastry! I am craving it.

Pranav : We'll take it in some bakery while going home.

Sahana : Promise?

Pranav : Promise! You go and wait near the car . I'll pay the bill and come.

Sahana walked towards the car and stood near the door of the car while surfing her phone. She got a text from her father in law.

Father in law ( Papa)

Sahana dear,I am home and seems like I have a lot to catch up on. We'll meet at our regular place.

Sahana smiled and sent an okay to him. By that time Pranav came and they got into the car. Neither of them talked, Sahana was getting impatient; she had never been this silent in her whole life.

Sahana : Pranav, pa.. I mean uncle is home.

Pranav : He texted you?

Sahana : Umm yea

Pranav : You both are best friends or father in law and daughter in law?

Sahana : Anything you want to take it as and I have to tell him a lot of things we need to catch up so I need to go home fast.

Pranav : This is Hyderabad madam ji, here once you are stuck in traffic it will take hours. Be happy I am managing to drive at this pace at least.

Sahana was trying to bring his sarcastic side back and she smiled internally at her small success.

When she reached home, Sharath was sitting on the couch along with Tulasi. Pranav bent his head when he saw his parents, Sahana held his hand and pressed it. He looked at her and she blinked in assurance.

Sahana : Unclee!

Sharath : Sahu, how many times do I have to tell you to call me papa?

Sahana : But I call Tulasi aunty as aunty only.

Sharath : Who is stopping you from addressing her as maa?

Sahana : See aunty didn't say anything, she doesn't like me calling her as maa!

Yet Tulasi spoke nothing and Sahana's face fell. Sharath patted her head and blinked in assurance.

Sharath : How's everything going on at work, Pranav?

Pranav stood there rooted, Tulasi got up from there and went back to her room.

Another week has passed since Pranav confessed to Tulasi about his wrong doings ,

Everytime Pranav tries to initiate conversation with her she plainly ignores him and mostly keeps herself shut in her room and cries herself to sleep

After Pranav left for his office and Sahana went to meet Priya, Tulasi stepped out of the house after a week and went to a nearby temple and prayed for her family's well being . When she returned home she saw Pranav's Black range rover and wondered to herself that what was his car doing at this time in their house she went inside the house and saw Pranav sitting on the couch holding his head and tears were continuously flowing out from his eyes seeing that Tulasi couldn't resist the urge to console her son , she kept the box of Prasadam on the table and went to Pranav and was debating in her mind weather to talk to him or not.

She went near him and kept her hand on his shoulder and Pranav looked up and without wasting a second he hugged her and started wailing like a small child , Tulasi was taken aback by this ,

Pranav came back from office after not being able to concentrate on his work as he was thinking of a way of making up to his mother for his past deed

Finally seeing his state his mother's heart melted.

Pranav :- Amma this is the first and last time I have broken your heart. I promise in my life I will never repeat it again. I love you so much amma, I am really heartily sorry for doing this to you.

Tulasi : Regret your mistakes if you may not be able to correct them, that's what I always taught you. I forgive you Pranav but next time something like this happens my heart can't withstand that betrayal.

Pranav's happiness knew no bounds. He hugged her right once again. He immediately called Sahana and she answered it within two rings.

Sahana : Yes Pranav, tell me!

Pranav : Sahana, Sahuuu maa forgave me

He said amidst his tears which were rolling out of his eyes and he heard a loud yell from the other side.

Sahana : Bhabhi, bhabhi, bhabhiii oh my god aunty forgave him God! I am happy. Come let's dance.

Pranav chuckles at the childish nature of his wife. Maybe she was always like this and it took time for him to notice this side of her.

By the time Sahana came back home, Pranav was sitting on the couch smiling seeing something on his phone when she went near him she saw a picture of Tulasi and Sharat with their 3 kids , Sahana understood that he was reminiscing about his childhood days.

Pranav was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't notice that Sahana has arrived and without saying anything she went to change herself into something comfortable  and then came back and meet Tulasi.

Tulasi : Sahu come dear, when did you come back?

Sahana : Just now aunty, feeling good vibes all over just missing Vijju a bit.

Vijay : Bhabhi, maa you guys are talking about me?

Tulasi : Sahu, this isn't a dream right?

Sahana : Aunty, I wanted to ask you the same thing. Is he really here?

When they stood there frozen he came forward and engulfed both of them in a tight warm hug. It took them a few seconds to understand that it was reality and they hugged him back while streams of tears flowed from their eyes.

Vijay : No crying maa, no crying bhabhi!

Sahana : Vijju, call me what you used to, this is just so foreign.

Tulasi : How are you? Where were you? You look so tired. Go freshen up and come and eat and rest. Rest all things we will talk once you rest enough.

Vijay : I am fine amma, I rested enough. I got to know about something important that's why I am here.

Sahana : I am not allowing you to go back anywhere. Trust me aunty wasn't herself all this time. She needs you both no matter what just don't leave her and go in your own ways, she's just a kid at heart.

Vijay : I know Bhabhi, I am not going to leave her at any cost.

Tulasi just hugged him and he consoled her while trying to hide his tears.

Vijay : I am not going to leave you maa, never.

Sahana : You both go to the hall and talk. I will take care of the rest of things. It is a family lunch today then.

Tulasi : I'll help you..

Sahana : Aunty, I am here I will manage. You just go and chill with your sons. It's been a long time since we had a family time and if not you all I am literally missing it.

Sahana cooked the rest over items and by then Vijay came freshened up. All the family members were on the dining table.

Sharath : So, by now all of us know about Pranavi, I called her to talk with us tomorrow along with her husband.
