Author's POV

Pallavi was marching back and forth in her room. She was remembering yesterday's event where her hand had risen upon janvi. She felt bad for that, after marriage she had promised Ragini to keep Janvi like her own daughter and whatever she did yesterday was a shameful act for her. She heard Saransh convince Janvi not to cry as her act hurt her. She had even decided to apologize to her but couldn't get the chance and from the afternoon she had locked herself in the room so that she wouldn't be able to face janvi.

A knock fell on the door as she opened it to see Saransh there.

"Aapse baat karni hain mom"

(I want to talk to you mom)

She nodded silently and again closed the door.

Saransh handed over the envelope to his mother which he brought from his room. Pallavi confusingly took it and cut the seal. Her eyes almost widened, she snapped her head at her son with questionable gaze. Saransh nodded his head then holding his mother's shoulder made her sit on the couch. He himself settled beside her.

"Mere liye meri mom aur patni dono bohot jyada important hain iss liye kisi bhi ek ki side main kabhi nahi lunga. Aaj bhi Janvi ki taraf dari karne nahi aaya main bas aapki misunderstanding clear kar raha hu." He cleared his point very calmly and it didn't hurt his mother.

(For me, both my mom and my wife are very important, that is why I will never take anyone's side. Even today, I'm not here to take Janvi's side. I'm only trying to clear up a misunderstanding you have)

She was almost in tears reading the reports which were of Janvi. He intentionally showed that report so that he could explain Janvi's state of mind to his mother.

"Mom in reports ki wajah se hi janvi divorce ke decision tak pohoch gayi thi. But I swear baad mein sab thik ho gaya Humne di se baat kiya aur unhone bola hai ki ek chota sa operation karna hai bas. Uske bad sab thik ho jayega"

(Mom, it was because of these reports that Janvi had reached the point of deciding on a divorce. But I swear, everything got better afterward. We spoke to Di, and she said that just a small operation is needed. After that, everything will be fine and normal)

"Aap ab bina apni beti ke paas jayiye aur sab thik kar dijiye. I know aapko bhi usse baat na kar ke uspe hat uthake acha nahi laga tha."

(You should go to your daughter now and make everything right. I know you didn’t feel good about not talking to her and raising your hand on her either)

She nodded her head and embraced her son. Thankfully he cleared her vision before her misunderstanding caused more problems.

********************

Janvi's eyelashes flattered as the blurry images flashing in her vision. She sensed a hold on her palm still unable to see who the person was. Her lips curved as she chanted the name which came first in her mind. "A__ns__h!"

"Janvi!" Saransh clutched on her palm and caressed her forehead with another. Naira placed her palm over his shoulder nodding her head.

Finally getting the vision Janvi smiled at Saransh.

Saransh pecked on her palm with a tearful smile. He was scared after she went into an unconscious state but now his heart relived seeing her fine.

"Operation was successful. Everything is fine now." Janvi's smile widened.

Naira left from there giving them some space.

"I love you!"

"I love you too!" Saransh uttered as both smiling widely celebrating the joy. Now they were ready to embrace parenthood once again.
