PriRa FF: Will You Grow Old With Me?

Accidental Outings

Here goes the next part, happy reading.

Early morning, tharun accidentally witnessed the serene scene of Kapoor's family sleeping together which he never once noticed before. He can't help himself from clicking few pics of all the people in a single frame. He clicked few pics and went out without disturbing the sleeping people.

Later Priya was the first one to wake up, she got up and smiled seeing all the other three. Priya softly caressed nandini's hand.
Priya: Thank you mom, this day will always be special to us. I don't what happened before but both your son's were missing you badly eventhough they didn't show it openly. These both are not good at hiding their feelings like they think. I'm happy that finally everything is getting sorted. Hope our family always stays like this. Thanks for loving us. Love you mom.
Priya got up from the bed and went to her room allowing the other three to sleep what Priya didn't know was that nandini was awake all this time and listened to priya's monologue. Nandini was genuinely surprised listening to priya and the way she understood her sons. Nandini sat there thinking about Priya's word when she noticed shubu waking up.

shubu woke up and smiled as he was genuinely very happy seeing Ram sleeping in their mom's lap which never happened before. He got up without disturbing anyone and softly ran his hand through Ram's hair seeing him sleeping so peaceful. Shubu then softly caressed Nandini head as well and whispered a thank you mom, love you before moving out. Nandini opened her eyes once she shubu left. She got sad listening to shubu. She sat there thinking Did they really fell apart so much?

Nandini closed her eyes and acted like sleeping when Ram stirred in his sleep. Ram woke up smiling happily after a peaceful sleep  as some different kind of happiness filled his heart. Ram hurriedly got up seeing nandini's uncomfortable position. Ram chided himself for troubling his mom little aloud which nandini can clearly hear since Ram was hovering around her. He made nandini sleep in the bed comfortably and covered her with the duvet. Ram was about to go but stopped and caressed Nandini's head.
Ram: Thank you mom, I'm really glad that I got you back. Yesterday night will always be close to my heart. I really missed you so much all these years mom. Love you so much mom.
Ram whispered softly to himself not knowing that nandini is awake and she heard everything. Ram softly placed a kissed on his mom's forehead before moving out.

Nandini let out the tears to roll down and started crying as she hated herself at that moment so much. she finally understood what she had lost all these years and how her attitude made her children to live in pain. She cursed herself for giving pain to her children with her own hands just for loving her truly. What made nandini more depressed was all the three thanked her for being a mom that she should have been from long back. Her children were thanking her for loving them and what can hurt a mother more than this. At this moment, she realised how much emotional damage she had done to her kid's especially Ram whose voice was filled with pain and she didn't fail to notice the quiver in his voice. She went to freshen up finally deciding to do right by her children and stop hurting them unnecessarily.

Days started passing smoothly for the Kapoor's. Ram, Priya,shubu visibly noticed the positive change in nandini. They also understood nandini's struggle to show her love for them openly. They made everything easy for nandhini as much as they can by involving her in everything they do. Nandini was really surprised with her own self as she confidently faked her love infront of anyone for ages but now she genuinely struggled to show her real care and affection to her children but she was glad when all the three around her never made her uncomfortable or unwanted at any point of time. Shubu still shared nothing but a cordial relationship with her but she was happy with that as she can see some changes in Shubu's attitude towards her. All the three slightly altered their plans keeping their mom in mind and tried to spend some family time as well. They surely did make some progress in their relation positively and with mama-mami gone, everything was very good since no one was there to spoil nandini's mind or anyone's mood with their useless talks.
