Th doctors were working on Priya. She was completely unconscious and her breathing was also shallow. Ram informed them that Priya is pregnant and that she also suffered an accident 4 weeks back. He didn't know the details of the accident - But will get them immediately for the doctor.

The doctor rushed her in for an emergency sonography. Ram called up Krish to give him an update on Priya and also to know who her current doctor is and if they could come and talk to the doctor about the surgery.

Krish was there in less than 15 minutes by the time the doctor mentioned, " Mr. Kapoor your wife Priya is haemorrhaging. We don't know if this is some complication from the Surgery or something related to the pregnancy yet. We haven't been able to identify the source of the bleeding and that's why we have to go in surgically to figure this out."

Rams tongue was rubber and he couldn't say anything. Krish asked, " And Doctor what about this baby, will the baby be fine?"

"I am so sorry sir, but it seems unlikely that we will be able to save the pregnancy - but we will try our level best".

The doctor's had to rush her in for surgery to control the bleeding and stop the haemorrhaging.

Ram was shocked, he was overwhelmed. He didn't know what to do - He immediately felt so much anger towards his Mom and Vedika. How could they? It's because of them that he maybe loosing his child again. It's because of them that Priya was under so much stress and pressure. If they hadn't made things so bad, She would have still been recovering and resting at home, instead of trying to reconnect with Ram while he recovered.

Rams phone started ringing and he snapped out of his daze, It was Adi - "Ram, you called? How are you feeling now!"

"Adi, where are you? "

" Mein toh Ghar pe hoon, kyun kya hua?"

" Adi, I'm gonna tell you something now and I want you to hear me out, don't react - Not even in front of Brinda okay".

"Okay"

"Adi, Priya might be having a miscarriage and I have brought her to the hospital. It is not good." "Ram Tujhe?" Adi was surprised that Ram called her Priya. 

"Han Aadi, Aaj jab mein utha mujhe sab kuch phir se yaad aagaya, Priya, Meera Ma and Krish know, Maybe Pihu does too, but apart from that you are the only other person".

" I don't want this information to reach Vedika, Nandini Kapoor or Shubham, okay"

" So just don't tell Vik or sara and even Brinda"

I am with her at the Hospital along with Krish - but I want you to go to sood house and just be with Meera Ma and Pihu. Make sure they are safe.

Let's keep this information under wraps.

" Ram, I am so sorry"

"I know, but I don't want to think about this right now, I need to focus on Priya and her recovery. I don't know how she will take all this"

"You stay strong Ram and call me if you need anything han, and keep us updated on "Lovely"

"Yes Lovely, please take care of her mom and daughter Adi and if anyone calls you, tell them you and I are in a meeting with a new client"

" yes"

Ram got a call from Nandini, "where are you? Ram you were so unwell last night and 1st thing in the morning you have left the House?"

" Sorry Mom, Woh kya hai na - I had a meeting for a new project - I will be back in the evening. and don't worry I am fine".

"Tum Kidhar Ho, Ram?"

"Mein Adi ke saath hoon - Okay meeting shuru hone waali hai, Will call you back"

Cut.

Krish walked in with 2 cups of coffee and gave Ram one Cup.

"Krish - Priya was telling me about what all happened during Pihu's pregnancy and after her birth. Thank you for taking care of my baby so well and thank you for helping Priya".

"Ram, I did what anyone would do"

"No Krish, You did more than that. But thank you so so much".

"How bad was the post Partum depression for her?"

" Ram, I'm not gonna lie - It was Bad. I don't know to what extent Priya spoke to you, but I used to worry if I will see her the next time I go to meet her. Some of the Prison staff was actually quite supportive - and helped her through that phase. You know she didn't hold Pihu till she got out right?"

"What?"

"Yeah, Pihu was delivered and handed directly to me - because Priya refused to see her or touch her. I guess she was afraid that she will rub off her bad luck onto her."

Ram was stunned at this, Priya in her momentary outburst in the morning, had said no such thing. He was shocked.

"When I used to go meet her - and she was feeling upto come out to meet me I would show her pictures of Pihu - and she would just freeze and just avoid her topic completely".

"It's only towards the end of her sentence that Priya was able to see her Videos. She missed all the 1sts - Just like you did. It's crazy and Sad that Pihu didn't have either of her parents to take pride in her 1st steps, her first words, her first time eating solid food - the first time she rolled over. I was the sole witness to this. And she was my baby. Honestly - I was not sure if Priya would ever recover enough to care for Pihu. I had really thought that Pihu might stay with me forever." Krish chuckled Ironically.

"Aur meine aake iss sabko uthal puthal Kar diya."

" No not at all, I honestly always wanted Pihu to have her parents, so I was glad that she found you both. I still have her, the time we had together will always be my most precious 2 years. "

"Thank you Krish..."
