VARAD'S POV

I sat there as both my wife and sister looked meals talking animatedly with my son who is more than happy to find Isha. It's like he knows her since the moment he is born. And here I am taking months to warm up to both my son and wife. How weird this life is? How can I forget some important part of life?

"Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii..." My shouted holding my sisters hand as she prepared Dosa with other one.

"Idhaant wants yummy yummy dosa? You want moon shaped dosa?? Orrrrrrr sun shaped??." My Isha cutely asked him. He jumped in place shouting 'Sun'. I chuckled at their banter. It reminded me taking care of her since childhood.

"Oishani make him sleep and come back. We will continue where we left." Isha said as my son finished having his dinner. Nodding her head, my wife who is extremely silent till now reached for his hand. It is difficult to adjust to the truth. When it is twisted in so many directions.

"She's shook." Isha commented. I nodded my head as yes. Who won't be? If having parents is the only protection then children like us are born to be in traumatic situations.

"I thought you won't accept her. It's good to see you are progressing." Isha said smiling at me. My ears turned pink at her statement. I walked inside to check on my family.

"Oishani." I called her as she tapped my son's chest calmly.

"Hmm?." She replied.

" I think you should dress properly." I suggested. Her eyes widened and she looked around for some scarf or dupatta. With both our ears turning red in colour we sat with my sister who didn't stop smirking our way.

"Hhhow was Varad connected to this?." Oishani asked. With serious expression my sister started her narrative.

"First of all, I will be answering the question which is eating you but haven't asked me yet." She started. We both looked at eachother.

"I couldn't open my mouth and ruin your reunion when you both started liking eachother. The way you took stand in front of our parents, married Oishani showed how blessed my brother is find his love again. There were no instances of threats as far as I knew. So keep things quiet for a time I decided to leave you two alone to sort things out. But I never knew this started as an arrangement to provide for Idhant rather than love between you two." Isha spoke.

"W..we love eachother." Oishani replied after pregnant pause. My eyes went wide as I looked at her. Did she actually confess?

"Mr Wang called him to the conference to ask for help. When my brother found out about Shubham he went after him in spit of anger, who didn't know the real purpose of his presence there. Mr Wang distinctly remember you both having fist fight over my topic and him delivering a heavy blow to your head." She continued. Now that she mentions, I hazily remember the fight which I thought was after I found out about his evil intentions. I guess my brain fails to recognise the series of events now.

"You were taken into hospital immediately by Mr Wang. Doctors said there's no concussion but he decided to call me up. You fell unconscious for 6hrs." Isha continued.

"Why don't I remember anything after that? I should atleast some memory right?." I questioned her.

"That's where shubam played a big role." Isha commented.

"He gave you drugs for retrograde amnesia. You encountered in the room where he was discussing with corrupt officials regarding certification for drugs he planned to use in the new program. You literally attracted crowd into that room which caused him to take this drastic decision." She said.

"What do you mean? Does that exist???." I asked not believing her.

"Yes. Certain drugs when given in excessive amounts can cause amnesia. You were injected with it, probably to kill you slowly I think. I have no idea why he did whatever he did to you. But the moment I requested blood samples, I gave you medication. You were present but drugged heavily. Somehow Mr Wang made Oishani look after you, that's when sparks flew." Isha said looking at her brother. Oishani was silent the whole time. I had no intention to ask why did she do it when we fought.

"I..I was told you are important person to my parents. My world was suddenly happy to have someone who isn't plotting against my parents. I loved being with you, it was soothing balm to my injured life. I..I knew you were drugged but couldn't stop the love we shared. " Oishani spoke looking away. I wrapped my arms around her. Isha had sympathic eyes. We both now know how cruel her life was and what we did certainly brought her down.

"The day you met with accident. I was supposed to check on you again. Get blood samples, take it to the lab for analysis as Mr Wang found it to be a new drug which was banned from usage in India. But you left the hotel which led to your accident and now you don't remember certain things. Retrograde amnesia, memories of past are erased from your brain. You might remember them slowly but I don't know. Am not your doctor. " Isha concluded.

I took a deep breath. Now that I think of it, I don't remember certain parts of my past clearly maybe the most affected ones. Oishani was lost in thoughts.

"Why did you leave India?." I asked my sister

"I am not interested to stay here." She vaguely replied.

"You said now lives are in danger. " Oishani asked. I was confused when did she say that?.

"Because Shubham is still around you two. He knows where you are now. Just be careful, now that you have a son to look after. " Isha warned.

I sat there with numbness. How can I possibly help them? Where should I start to keep things in control when I don't remember my past??
