Endless Affection ( In the end , love always finds a way )

(42) Revisiting Memories

After the party ends, everyone starts heading home. Siya says goodbye to her friends and hugs Freen, telling her to send a message when she gets home. Freen bids farewell to Siya and leaves with her message.
(After changing her clothes Siya massages her ) Siya types a message to Freen:
Siya : Hi babe
Freen: Hey siuu
Siya : Thank you for making my day.
Freen: But how did I make your day?
Siya : What you did, the gift you gave me today.
Freen: What gift did I give?
Siya : The one where you improved my mood today.
Freen: Well, for that.
Siya : Yes, you kissed me, and if I get this kiss every day, I would sacrifice the whole world for it.
Freen: That's enough, you don't need to sacrifice the world for me, "Siuu".
Siya : Then I'll sacrifice myself for you.
Freen: Oh, you love me so much!
Siya : A lot.
Freen: I love you ❤ Siya : I love you too.
Freen: Alright, go to sleep now. You have college tomorrow.
Siya : Yes, I'm going to sleep. Good night ❤
Freen :Very good night, my love.
(Next day)
Singhania University, Bangkok
( Siya is sitting at the canteen with her friends, and Freen is also there with Send . Siya looks at Freen in a very romantic way, and Freen notices her. Siya starts by gently touching one leg with the other and slowly moves her leg over the other while looking romantically at Freen. This makes Freen blush, and she quickly excuses herself to go to the restroom. Siya also uses the excuse of talking to her friends to follow Freen.
While Freen is in the restroom, Siya joins her and grabs her by the waist. Freen protests, saying that this is not appropriate in college. Siya responds by saying that she's willing to do anything wrong if it means being romantic with Freen. She mentions that she needs to improve her mood, and the only medicine for that is with Freen. Saying this, she touches Freen's lips and kisses her. They share a kiss, but then they notice someone approaching, and both feel uncomfortable. Freen leaves the restroom, and Siya starts washing her hands. Tong figures out that Freen and Siya were kissing but doesn't question Siya because she's afraid of Siya )
(After college)
( Siya goes to Freen's house after college, where Freen is alone. They spend time together, lying on the bed and relaxing. Siya rests her head on Freen's lap, and they engage in conversation. Freen asks Siya why she never went back to India.
Siya explains that she doesn't like going to India because she has no one there. Freen mentions that her father is in India, but Siya clarifies that while her father is in India, she has strong feelings of hatred towards him, and that's why she never goes to India. Freen is curious and asks Siya why she harbors such hatred for her father. Siya then shares a childhood incident that led to her feelings.
She recounts how her mother passed away due to an incident involving her father, who was drinking that day. Siya acknowledges that it was an accident, and her father was intoxicated that day. She explains that she loved her mother deeply and was very close to her. Her father was always occupied with business and his companies, never giving time to his family. He never seemed to remember that he had a 5-year-old daughter and a wife who needed his time and attention. Siya vividly remembers the days when her parents would promise to come home early and have dinner with them, but her father would consistently arrive late.
She recalls a particular incident when her mother's best friend, who cared for her like her own, came to their house. This friend would often take Siya along with her on outings. One day, her father promised to take them to the theater, and Siya eagerly awaited his return, as did her mother. However, he arrived late as usual, and her mother's best friend was there. Siya insisted on going to the theater, and her mother initially refused, but due to Siya's persistence, they eventually went. Similar incidents occurred several times, causing her mother to feel hurt and leading to frequent fights between her parents.
Tragically, one day, amidst their arguments, her mother passed away. Siya emphasizes that her mother's death was not due to her father's actions but rather an accident. However, her father never made an effort to understand or support her, and he never showed her any love
)
Freen: I understand, Siuu , that your mom and your dad did you and your mom wrong. But it's impossible for a father not to care for his child. If your dad didn't love and care about you, he wouldn't have sent you to Thailand. I believe, Siuu, that he loves you deeply. It's been 15 years since you last saw him. Maybe you should meet him once. People often regret the mistakes of their past, and who knows, you might see love and care in his eyes now, something you didn't see 15 years ago. And now that you're an adult, you can understand things better. Perhaps you can now understand your dad too, because the Siya who hates her dad is the same Siya from her childhood. Bring out the Siya who has grown up and hasn't seen her dad for 15 years. Meet your dad once.
Siya : But, Freen...
Freen: No buts, siuu. Think about it. Decide once. Who knows, you might actually feel good meeting him.
Siya: Alright, Freen. I'll think about it and make a decision.
Freen: Absolutely, and I have full faith that your decision will be the best one.
Siya : Do you really trust me this much?
Freen: Even more than that.
( Siya's Home, Bangkok)
( Siya is contemplating Freen's words and thinks that perhaps she should go to India once.
She calls her uncle and says,) Siya : Uncle, are you free?
Uncle: Yes, dear, I am free. Is there something important you want to talk about?
(Uncle is working on some office files.) Siya : Yes, Uncle.
Uncle: Alright, go ahead, beta.
Siya : Uncle, I want to go to India.
Uncle: (Upon hearing Siya's words, Uncle stops signing the files.) What! Did you just say that?
Siya : Yes, exactly what you heard.
Uncle: But how did you suddenly decide to go to India?
Siya : Well, Uncle, Freen told me that I should meet my biological father, and that's why I want to meet him.
Uncle: Beta, that's a very good thing. What I couldn't accomplish in 15 years, Freen made happen so quickly. Thanks to her
Siya : Yes, she told me the right reason to go to India and to meet "Ramesh Singhania" .
Uncle: Alright, beta, let's do this. We will plan to go to India this week.
Siya : Okay, Uncle, I'll make the necessary arrangements.
Uncle: Sounds good, beta.
(Next day)
( Siya , after working at the restaurant with freen , is in the car with her . Siya tells her that she has made the decision to go to India and will be leaving this week. Freen is very happy to hear this, hugs her, and says she knew Siya would listen to her. Siya brings her home today, and both of them arrive home. Miss Daral is delighted to see Freen. They both prepare dinner, and they all sit down to eat. Miss Daral talks a lot with them, expressing her happiness about their relationship and how she always wants to see them happy. After dinner, Siya goes to her room with Freen . Siya tells her that she is going to India soon, so she wants to spend time with her . She suggests they go somewhere where it's just the two of them, but Freen declines, saying she has to meet her brother tomorrow. Siya inquires about freen's brother's health, and freen explains more about her brother. Siya reassures her that Freen's brother is her brother too, so she doesn't need to worry about his treatment; she'll make sure he gets proper care at the hospital.
Tomorrow, Siya will accompany Freen to the hospital to meet her brother. Freen is touched by Siya's words and is glad that Siya has embraced her family so quickly. Siya tells her that for now, she wants to uplift her mood and leans in to kiss her. They share a passionate moment, and afterward, they lie down together. Freen thanks Siya for giving her the best experience of her life, something she had never felt before. Siya also expresses her gratitude, and they fall asleep together.
(Next day )
Siya and Freen take a shower together and then have breakfast downstairs.)
( Siya then drives car with Freen to the hospital. They arrive at the hospital, and Freen introduces Siya to her brother, stating that Siya is her partner. Freen's brother is delighted to meet her, and Siya is equally pleased. Freen talks to the doctor, and Siya has a friendly conversation with her brother. After meeting the doctor, Freen returns, seeing that Siya and her brother have bonded well. They laugh and talks together. Freen joins them, and Siya tells her brother that she hopes he gets well soon so he can attend their wedding. After bidding farewell, they leave.)
(Freen's brother asks Siya if she will come to meet him again since they are now friends. Siya assures him that she will visit Freen often and will have him discharged from the hospital soon. Saying this, they leave. Freen is still watching Siya , feeling grateful that Siya has taken such good care of her brother. She asks Siya if she can drop her off at the temple because she wants to go there
Siya agrees, saying, "Yes, absolutely." She adds that she also wants to go to the temple.
Upon hearing Siya's words, Freen is astonished. She asks when Siya started believing in God.
Siya replies that it's been since she met her . She says, "Your words have made a significant impact on me. I've started praying to God too. You know, the first thing I prayed for was for our college to win, and I believe God listened because ever since, I've been praying to God daily." Freen is overjoyed to hear this.
They then go to the temple together. Inside, they pray together. Siya asks her what she prayed for, and freen says she prayed for them to always stay together. She then asks Siya what she prayed for, and Siya confesses that she prayed for their marriage to happen very soon.
Freen's eyes well up with tears, and Siya asks her about it. Siya tells her that she genuinely wants to marry her.
Freen asks if Siya's uncle will agree to this. Siya explains that she hasn't told her uncle about their relationship yet, and while he might initially react strongly, he will eventually accept it. She envisions a future where they can get married and create their own world of love, free from any interference.
Finally, they get back in the car, and Siya drops her off at her home, and freen heads inside.
(After some days)
( Siya and Freen's relationship is going well. Today, Siya goes to meet her father in India with her uncle. Freen comes to see Siya off and gives her a kiss on the forehead and a hug.)
Freen : "You come back from meeting your dad in Thailand soon because I'll miss you a lot."
Siya : "Don't worry; I'll be back in one or two days."
Freen: "Yes, and your birthday is coming up! It's your first birthday with me, and I'm so excited."
Siya : "I am too. I didn't look forward to my birthday before, but ever since you came into my
life, I can't wait for it."
(A servant enters Siya's room and informs her.)
Servant: "Mam, sir is here. He's waiting in the car outside."
Siya : (Holding her friend's hand) "Alright, I have to go now. Take care."
Freen :ummm....you too
Siya : (smiles ) "I miss you."
Freen : "I miss you too, my sunshine."
(They head downstairs, and Siya gets into her uncle's car. Siya waves goodbye to her , and her uncle looks at Siya with affection as they drive away. Freen watches Siya 's car until it's out of sight and then returns home.)
(Meanwhile, Siya is on her private jet, en route to India.)
(Mumbai, India 󰏝)
12:00 pm
( Siya's uncle goes to the jail to meet Siya's father and informs him that someone has come to meet him today. Siya's father asks who has come to see him, and Siya's uncle suggests that he see for himself. With that, Siya's uncle calls for Siya, and she slowly approaches. Siya's father observes her from a distance, and as she gets closer, his excitement grows. Finally, when he sees Siya standing before him, tears fill his eyes. Seeing her father for the first time in 15 years, Siya's eyes also well up. Her father, with gray hair and weakened by time, reaches out to touch Siya's cheeks and then hugs her, tears streaming down both their faces.)
( Siya arrives at the Mumbai jail to meet her father. Seeing her, her uncle's eyes also moisten, and he wipes away his tears before leaving. After a long embrace and tears, Siya's father says to her:)
Father: "Siya , you've finally come. I missed you so much."
Ramesh Singhania ( Siya's Father): "My dear, please forgive me. I know I am to blame for your and your mother's suffering. I took away your happy childhood, and I never gave you or your mother the time you deserved. I've been the worst husband and the worst father in the
world."
( Siya tries to stop her father from apologizing.)
Siya : "Whatever happened was in the past, and I want to forget it. You should also try to move on. You've
realized your mistakes, and that's enough for me."
Ramesh Singhania: "My daughter, you have forgiven me. I never thought I'd even be able to face you. I felt so ashamed and guilty, but you are a wonderful person, just like your mother. She, too, used to forgive mistakes very quickly."
( Siya 's father and Siya continue to have a heartfelt conversation. Then, her father says:)
Ramesh Singhania: "It's been 15 long years since I saw you. Today, when I see you standing before me, I can't believe you're my own daughter. You've grown into a beautiful young woman, just like your mother. The same face, the same smile."
( Siya smiles)
Siya 's Father: I never gave you time in your life, nor a father's love, but when I'm released from this jail, I will only fulfill the duty of a father, my daughter. I will live only for you now. I don't care about my company or the world anymore. I've found my daughter, and I don't need anything else. Nothing can be greater for me than the happiness of my daughter. I've longed to hear these words for 15 years, my child .
Siya : I'm trying to forgive you. I've nurtured hatred for you for 15 years, and I've lived a life without parents for 15 years. For 15 years, I haven't called anyone 'Papa.' Suddenly, saying 'Papa' and completely forgiving you is difficult for me. Please forgive me, but I'll try my best.
When I feel that I've forgiven you completely, I'll start calling you 'papa.'
Siya's Father: I understand, my child. At least you've thought about forgiving me and come to meet me. That means a lot to me.
Siya : ( Siya smiles and thanks her father) Thank you.
(Jailer arrives and informs them that their meeting time is over. They have 2 minutes to wrap up. After saying this, the jailer leaves.)
Siya's Father: Your birthday is approaching, isn't it? I'm saddened that, like every time, I won't be able to celebrate your birthday this year.
Siya : It's okay. When you're released from jail, we'll celebrate my next birthday together.
Siya's Father: It's been so many years since I met you, my child, but as always, luck isn't on my side today. I have to go, my child .
Siya : It's alright.
( Siya's father stands up, hugs Siya again, and then leaves. Siya steps outside, where some uncles are waiting. They ask her.)
Uncle: How did it feel to meet your father after all these years, my dear?
Siya : (After meeting her father, Siya is calm and says to the uncle) It felt good.
Uncle: My dear, I'm thankful to you for coming to meet your father and considering forgiveness.
( Siya listens to the uncle's words, and then both of them get into their car and head to their apartment in Mumbai, where Siya spent her childhood.)
( Siya's Father's Home)
(Mumbai, India 󰏝)
( Siya arrives at her home in Mumbai. As she steps into her home, her childhood memories flood her mind, and her eyes well up with tears. She enters her room and sees her childhood toys, which remind her of all the happy moments she spent playing with her mother. In her mind, she sees a vivid scene from her childhood, where she is playing with her mother. She then goes into her mother's room and witnesses a scene from her past, where her parents are fighting, and her father angrily pushes her mother. This distressing memory prompt Siyab to rush towards her mother to protect her, but she realizes she couldn't save her.)
(All of this is Siya's past, and she reacts to it as if it's the truth, as her return to her childhood home intensifies her connection to these memories.)
( Siya visualizes her mother and starts crying, as she sees her mother's lifeless body covered in blood, a moment she was unable to prevent. She sits there, sobbing.)
(Her uncle enters the room, seeing Siya sitting at the spot where her mother tragically fell to her death. They approach Siyab, pick her up, and hug her. Siya cries into her uncle's chest. Her uncle understands why she's crying after returning to India and seeing everything she left behind. He tries to console her, and Siya says:) Siya : It's so painful, Uncle.
(These events are deeply emotional for Siya as she confronts her painful past after returning to her childhood home.)
Siya : Uncle, how can I stay silent? I couldn't save my mother. I feel ashamed of myself, Uncle, for not being able to rescue my mother when she fell from here, and I watched it happen. I feel like a terrible person.
(Uncle understands that Siya's past is weighing heavily on her, causing her to be out of control. He couldn't console Siya with love because she wasn't listening to him. So, he scolds and raises his voice, saying:)
Uncle: Understand the situation, Siya . You're allowing your past to dominate you. You're losing yourself.
Try to understand that everything you're visualizing right now with your own eyes is your past from 15 years ago. You've returned to India after 15 years to your home. Try to bring your mind to the present.
Siya : But I couldn't save my mother, Uncle. What kind of daughter am I?
Uncle: You were very young back then; you couldn't have saved your mother. Try, my dear, to come out of your mother's past. (Saying this, Uncle hugs Siya again and comforts her. With Uncle's embrace, Siya gradually calms down. She then tells Uncle that she wants to be alone for now, so he decides to leave her alone but promises to return to check on her in 30 minutes. Siya agrees, and Uncle departs. Siya sits on her mother's bed in her room. She receives a call from Freen , but she declines it. Freen wonders why Siya rejected her call and tries calling again. This time, Siya's phone is switched off. Freen starts to worry, wondering why Siya Turned off her phone. Freen's mother asks her what's wrong and why she seems so upset. Freen explains that she was trying to call Siya , and the first time, Siya rejected the call. When she tried calling again, Siya's phone was switched off. This has never happened before. Freen's mother suggests that Siya might be busy and that's why she turned off her phone. Freen insists that this is the first time it has occurred. Freen's mother mentions that Siya has gone to India to meet her father, and she might be spending time with him. Freen, upon hearing this, scolds herself for not realizing that Siya might be with her father as well.)
