Sometimes the second chance isn't enough and life tests you harder before finally awarding you the much awaited third chance when you have disastrously messed up the second chance.
The process isn't easy. It wasn't for Anuj and Anupamaa. He suffered...
Anuj Kapadiya's hurt didn't let Anupamaa survive. Her death had left him stranded all alone. He pained himself with the guilt of killing her with his expectations. He didn't sleep peacefully since the moment he hugged her lifeless body to his chest for the last time only to not feel it beating against his heart. She didn't forgive him for the mistakes he did. He begged her but he turned her heart stone exactly the way she had turned his once. She left him and gave him the way worse feeling by not even letting him die.
She gave him the biggest responsibility - a daughter of his name and her face. She didn't let him die. She replaced herself with his REAL daughter in his life maybe to make him realise that even he couldn't discriminate between the real and the fostered one just like she couldn't. He loved his fostered daughter and she gave him another to parent them without HER this time in case he felt like a failure with her she gave him a chance to live without his failures.

Anuj let himself pain through the trauma of his wife's death for 30 years straight. Over the years that passed, his fears of hurting HIS ANUPAMAA'S DAUGHTERS, never let him become a good father. He failed without her. He was complete with her but without her he was just a failure though he wasn't with her, he realised. He told her he is but too late to realize that back then with her standing by his side, he was not a failure. He couldn't divide himself for the needs of his daughters, who never could consider him a good father.
He didn't know it's so difficult to live with someone not forgiving you not turning back to look at you even after countless pleas. But he freed himself by telling his daughters what all he did to their mother and under what circumstances she left them to never return back. He cried and succumbed to his own pain.
Anupamaa didn't stay happy without him even in her second birth. She was born destitute and got orphaned the very same day. She was forced into marriage at a very young age to a drunkard husband who used to flog her, rape her brutally. He did that again that day and her little 5 year old witnessed it all. She left the house but couldn't survive long.
Their souls left their bodies at the same hour because....
They were destined to be together through thick and thin.

The cycle of births and rebirths hadn't stopped but the tables just flipped this time.
Anupamaa Merchant, the daughter of India's biggest diamond merchant, was 20 now studying at the best institute of Ahemdabad, Gujarat - A place she didn't know she had an old connection with from a life two life cycles back. But her life wasn't simple. She was not the Anupamaa back from 2023. She is different. She is bossy and loud and messy and unrelenting.
But whenever there is a mess, somebody has to step in to clear it up too!
Anuj Bharadwaj, son of a wrestling coach. He belongs to a lower middle class family. His first interaction with Anupamaa had left him intimidated like never before. He was a sweet, innocent boy too unaccustomed to the ways of Anupamaa. He is calm.
But Anupamaa isn't so!
Atleast this is what everyone else thinks of her and she herself portrays as so! She is a difficult girl to tackle but she isn't impossible. There are more layers to her than she lets appear to the world. She has a heart too...
Could he own that heart... AGAIN... To never let it go?
With no real memories from their previous lives except the occasional Deja Vu s and nothing to learn from, nothing to look forward to or nothing to expect, what would stop them from committing the same mistake?
*Well one answer could be RUMJHUM... I'll stop them... So much burden these two dumbos put on me!! 😪 Baith ke galtiyaan sudhaare hum inki?!*

Her past births have seen her silence. Even in her last moments with a baby bump she had stayed silent suffocating herself with the frustration of not being able to voice anything out. She couldn't. She wasn't used to. She never had, she never got to. It had piled up in her
And....
This time she was supposed to be born with all the unsaid frustration, anger and ruthless attitude. She has to be born with everything that she lacked previously. She was born with confidence and intellect and most importantly veiled emotions as her soul knew that she got nothing when she expressed.
For a change Anuj had to be born with the sense of tolerance inbuilt in him. He was born groomed but shy. He was born without expectations. He was born true to his self and to be committed to everything he says, to keep his promises. Having downplayed on Anupamaa's insecurities, he was born with his own now.
The destiny wasn't being much sweet maybe for the realization that the burden of insecurities and past traumas is not forgotten or erased in a few dialogues.
Lives would churn their hearts to the core. The life would be same, scenarios crafted same but what is expected different then?
It would test their ability to make or break themselves the way they did half a century back. The way they deal with the same challenges.

Would he be able to love her with all the love of this world? Would she be able to nurture the love he offers her?
Will they make oneself deserving for the other and accept the other with open arms with all their shortcomings?

Kept the story in my drafts for like six months by now because I am pretty skeptical about all the stories so... Here it is! Finally posted😌✨

Note:- I have kept enough room for open and bold conversations ahead in every relationship. There will be sexually explicit dialogues and scenes. So don't ask me ye kaise baat kar re ya anything because I read it before you so I know dearies. Rest you will get a grip of what I mean when you explore further... It's a different take... None of the characters here are perfect! They are all flawed like normal humans.
