"For tonight you are mine... I literally own you for this night Misha" he started laughing at her helplessness.
He stepped towards her with a steady step, his eyes void of every emotion except.. no lust, no love, no hate, but something indescribable...

"Chachu please forgive me... Vivaan hurt me, he betrayed me and my love for him, and I hated him for that. But I can never forget that he is Vaani's father. Everyone deserves one chance, don't they?" I looked at my family and some of them nodded hesitantly "Well I want to give our marriage that one more chance.. just one chance for Vaani's sake.. she deserves to be loved by both her parents in a normal family setting!"
It's been 2 long weeks since I said those words grabbing all my courage. It took took a lot of convincing for me to come to this decision. My brain and heart would always fight over it and kept me up the whole night.
I had to compromise with past to get a better future. I had to compromise with my self respect as a feminist to let the mother in me win. I had to compromise with my pride and keep my ego aside so that I can have a family again. I had to compromise with a lot of things so that my heart could finally be at peace.

Just like I had written in the letter three years ago, I had forgiven him. Forgiven but not forgotten.
I looked at the father daughter duo who were having fun while walking in the garden of our villa in Shimla. I couldn't help smile at this site. My two most important people together and smiling.
My two most important people ?!! My brain questioned me. I don't know why but deep down I wanted to feel love again. I wanted fall in love ... just once let loose of my limitations, let loose of my past and just Fall in Love. Seeing Vivaan with my daughter, I wanted to fall in love with my baby daddy.
Ugh my brain is not happy with my thoughts but my hearts seems to be okay. These two will never agree on one thing. So I let go of my thoughts and moved toward the duo.
"Vivaan it's getting cold .. we should all go back in. Come on, I'll ask the cook to make chai and pakoras" i spoke with determination.
They both looked at me like I was a devil who burst their wonderland bubble. Vivaan saw my serious experession and realized that I was right. It was getting cold specially for Vaani, our cute little munchkin.
"Achha ok we are coming" he picked up his daughter and hoisted her high up into the sky and catching her back again, which made her giggle.

For a second my heart got stuck in my throat seeing her in such a dangerous position, but once he caught her in his safe arms, I breathed again with relief.
Yes we had come to Shimla at Vivan's family villa in the hills. We needed more time together , just the three of us , to bond together as a family. Vaani had missed so much of her father and Vivan had missed the first three years of her life, so we needed a getaway to understand each other better.
For those of you wondering, what about Vivan and me ?!! Well we are still trying to adjust to this new relationship. More like I am trying to adjust in this relation ship. With Vaani we were her parents but nothing more. It will take long time for me to accept his as my husband , no matter what. I still might have some feelings for him, I mean after all, he was my best friend at the orphanage and now is also my child's father. But do I love love him? Time will tell I guess.
Three of us moved back towards the porch where the caretaker had lit a borne fire and the snacks were being served.

Today is our last night in this villa, Tomorrow back to the city life. The whole evening Vaani kept us both busy with her sweet banter and smiles. The way he holds our daughter on his lap, the way he smiles at her, makes me want o cry tears of happiness.
While we were enjoying the pakoras, I could feel Vivaan steal glances at me as I laughed at Vaani's antics. As soon as I looked at his, catching him in the act, he reverted his eyes back as if he was never looking at me. I don't know why or how, but the way he looks at me seems to be changing.
His eyes tell a story now. A story of guilt from our past mixed with hope for our future!
