My lovely angels, your unconditional love made Armaan and Tripthi 5k strong. Your encouragement made a writer out of this lost soul. I can never put in words how wonderfully you people managed to change my life. Indebted to each of your love. I am so selfish that I am just expecting this abundant love forever. Blessed to have you people in my life. Lots of Rosogullas

This chapter with 13,191 words is by far my closest write-ups, I wanted to say a few things which I did through the story. I don't know how it will fair in your hearts but I know my lovelies over here, they will get what I wanted to convey

This chapter is dedicated to every woman who stands strong against the odds and inspires other women to stand strong. This chapter is dedicated to all those men who know what it really means to be a MAN, to every man who knows that values lie in the soul










Tripthi's PoV :

"One ticket to Abids, Please" I passed money to the conductor

"7 rupees more"

"7Rrs? When did the prices increase so much?" I wondered giving money

"When was the last time you were on a city bus Madam?" he questioned giving me the ticket

"3 Rs?" I questioned

"I don't have change now, ask me later" he moved forward

The ticket price is 37 Rs, now I have to draw a balance again. How am I going to do everything with 2000, moreover what am I going to say Dad when he questions me where the money went? What will I do when Mom starts lecturing me about my wastage of money? Why the hell am I getting affected by the eyes of a person who is sitting 5 seats behind me? What's the matter with me?




                   A few hours earlier


"Don't worry; I am not going to say anything. My life was always influenced by other's decisions and played according to their wishes, now I am habituated to it" I stated when they entered the bathroom

"Trippy" Anna called out

"Go on Anna, I am all ears. Tell me that the great Armaan Kohli is head over heels for me and as he is waiting for me for 2.5 years, I should acknowledge his feelings not giving a thought about my parents who brought me up for 20 years educating love is nothing less than a sin. Tell me to fall in love only to get locked up all my life. Tell me to go on a date with Mr.Kohli risking everything including his life," I yelled holding my tears

"Tripthi, what are you speaking? What is risking Armaan's life?" Bhabhi questioned

"Bhabhi, I love you very much and I am so happy that you dared to listen to your heart and take the step but I can't do it. I can't do it even if I want to. One wrong step from me can cost everything" fear crept in me is doing the talk

"Trippy, listen to me" Bhabhi stated

"No Bhabhi, I can't. I know that you are going to speak about him and the truth is this weak heart can't take anymore"

"It's not about Maan Trippy," she picked Mayur from me and continued, "Let's do the discussion somewhere else. Like you people, we don't have any inclination for the bathrooms"

Anna broke into small laughter, and looking at her efforts to make me at ease I smiled a little even though my heart is going to every kind of emotion I was prohibited from

"Tripthi.." Anna was about to sit on the bed beside me

"What are you doing? Go out and take your son along. You men are the reason for all our problems," Bhabhi stated
