40. Therapy Session 1: What's Your Story?

Happy Sunday to you all💕

After having lunch together Priya went with Pihu to make her sleep for sometime.
Ram was in his office room when he decided to call Sara.
Sara: Hello Ram. Is everything all right?
Ram: Umm...yeah in our home everything's okay. But in Vikrant's it's not. Sara di I went to meet Ishaan in the morning.
Sara: Ha umm...Vikrant ne bataya.
Ram: Sara di he's getting his deserved punishment. I can understand that you need time to think but not talking to him, giving him silent treatment is not going to fix anything.
Sara: Ram I'm sorry. Mujhe nahi pata mujhe kya karna chahiye. I don't know how to bring myself to talk to Ishaan.
Ram: I completely understand. But you need to understand that he's not well mentally. Sara di Priya is not okay. She's in so much pain. But I'm here to listen to her. Ishaan ko aapki zaroorat hai abhi. Main samajh raha hoon ke aap ko itna bada sach ab pata chala hai apko problem ho rahi hai sab manne ko. But I just want to give you one advice- Don't neglect your child. I'm saying this because I've done this and I'm regretting the choices I made 5 years ago. I could go there and search for the truth but I didn't! And I'm the one responsible for that not Priya. Be there for him in whichever way you can because you don't know when you're going to regret your decision. I'm not forcing you just trying to make you understand the situation. I really want to be there with him but meri bhi kuch limitations hai.
Aap samajh rahi hai main kya keh raha hoon?
Sara: Ha. Main samajh rahi hoon Ram. I'll go meet him.
Ram: Hmm...okay.
Sara: Ram aap se ek baat poonchu?
Ram: Ha?
Sara: How are you handling everything strongly?
Ram: Sara di situation hi aisi hai. I can't expect Priya to handle everything. She already has a lot of her plate. She took care of Pihu almost alone all these years. Jab mujhe sab kuch strongly handle karna chahiye tha maine kuch nahi kia. This is the least I can do for her and Pihu. They are my family Sara di, I love them both the most. I want to be there for them always.
Sara: Hmm. Galti meri thi Ram. Mujhe Ishaan ko Varun ke saath akele rehne dena nahi chahiye tha. Mujhe shaadi bass usko naam dene ke liye nahi karna chahiye tha. Kaash mujhe pata hota uske baare mein. Khair chodiye woh baat. Aapne thik kaha Ram. Itne saal main nahi thi uske saath. Ab iss muskil waqt par mujhe uska hath nahi chodna chahiye. Thank you.
Ram: Your welcome.
Ram cut the call then sighed loudly.

It was 3:30pm when Ram and Priya got ready to go for their first therapy session while Pihu pouted, standing on the bed as she didn't want them to go.
Pihu: Mumma Papa please don't go.
Priya: Pihu humne bataya na bachhe it's important. Jana padega. Hum thodi na bohot time ke liye jaa rahe hain. We will be back soon.
Pihu: Popsie!!
Ram didn't know how to tell her that they had to go while she made the cutest pout in the whole world.
Ram(kissing her cheek): Bachhe we will be back soon. Please Tarun ke saath reh jao Cupcake. Waise ek surprise hai.
Pihu(whining): Surprise? What surprise?
Priya smiled at Ram as she knew Pihu would love the surprise.
Ram: Chalo dikhata hoon surprise.
Pihu: Yayyy!
Ram: Priya chalo niche.

They went downstairs and saw Brinda sitting in the living room.
Pihu ran to Brinda and hugged her.
Pihu: Jaannnn!
Brinda: Hi sweetheart! Kaise ho?
Pihu: Thik hoon. Aap thik ho?
Brinda: Bilkul. Maine socha aap ke saath time spend karne aa jaati hoon.
Pihu smiled widely.
Ram: Toh surprise kaisa laga?
Pihu: Bohotttt achha.
Priya(caressing her cheek): Achhe bachhe banke rehna Pihu.
Pihu: Okay.
Ram(kissing Pihu's hand): Sab hain yahan koi stress mat lena. If you want to talk to us, tell Bri or Tarun to call us. Okay bachhe?
Pihu: Okay. Jaldi aana.
Ram: Of course jaldi aayenge.
Priya: Hum aate hain Pihu. Brinda aate hain. Bye.
Pihu and Brinda waved at them.
Ram and Priya sat in the car after waving at them and drove away.

Priya sighed deeply.
Ram: Achha hua Bri aa gayi sunke ke hum bahar jaa rahe hain. Bass parso hi toh ghar aayi hai Pihu. Sab ke saath adjust kar liya hai usne but Bri hi hai jiske saath time zyada spend kiya hai usne.
Priya: Ha yeh thik kaha aap ne. Brinda ke saath bohot free hoke rehti hai Pihu. Goa mein toh dono ne bohot mazze kiye saath mein.
Ram smiled at her. Priya smiled back then started looking outside the window.
After sometime,
Ram: Are you stressed?
Priya(turning to him): About therapy?
Ram nodded.
Priya: A little. Ab aadat si ho gayi hai.
Ram: How was it? Matlab you were going to a psychiatrist for sometime now.
Priya: Okayish. It did help a lot with the panic attacks. But other than that it wasn't working. Maybe because I was not cooperative enough.
Ram(frowning): Matlab?
Priya(looking at her hands): She would ask me everytime what I really wanted and I had no answer to give her.
Ram nodded.
Ram: Do you know now?
Priya looked at him, gave him a small smile and nodded. Ram smiled back at her.
Priya: You're stressed.
Ram(clearing his throat): Yes I'm. I've no idea what's going to happen.
Priya: Aap kabhi nahi gaye therapy ke liye?
Ram shook his head.
Priya: Not even after losing dad?
Ram shook his head while Priya nodded slightly.
Ram: Only watched 'Dear Zindagi' a few times.
Priya(with a soft smile): Don't worry. You'll be fine.
Ram smiled back nodding.
