Meanwhile Ram who was in his car, opened the lunch box and smiled seeing palak panner. It was his favourite. He eyes filled with tears as soon as he took a first bite. It still tasted the same way it was before 5 yrs. He knew it was cooked by Priya. He ate hungrily after a very long time. He was disappointed when it got over in few minutes. He drank the juice that was in the same bag.
Driver: chief
Ram: yeah
Ram never realised when they reached the hospital who quickly cleaned himself and drank some water before going inside the hospital.

Tharun brought lunch for Sara and Priya but Priya refused to have anything until Sara force fed her. They sat there waiting, when a doctor came to monitor ruhi. He informed ruhi's condition is stable is nothing to worry. Priya noticed how everyone were respecting her. She felt awkward.
Priya: Sara it's getting late. You go home.
Sara: it's ok I will stay with you.
Priya: I'm fine Sara. He is here and he will take care of ruhi.
Priya don't know what came over her to say something like that when he was the one who left her in a miserable state. But she can't deny the fact that he genuinely loved ruhi.
Sara looked at Priya questioningly
Priya: I will explain you later.
Sara: I understand, I will go once he came.
Priya: it's ok Sara. It's getting late.
Tharun: chief
Ram: is everything fine?
Tarun: ji chief.
Sara: then I will come in morning Priya.
Priya: okey.
Sara: I will bring all your necessary things.
Ram: Sara
Sara: sir.
Ram: Thanks for being there for my family. I really owe you big time.
Sara: she Is like my sister.
Ram: still thank you. You can take leave for tomorrow and rest. I will take care of them.
Sara: it's okey sir. I will come in morning. Priya needs clothes.
Ram: how about tharun will come with you, you can pick whatever Priya wants and give to tharun. He will bring it here after dropping you In your home.
Sara looked at Priya questioningly who nodded her head in agreement.
Sara: ji sir.
Ram: tarun.
Sara: ji chief.
Both tarun and Sara went leaving Ram and Priya alone.
Ram: did you have anything
Priya nodded her head without uttering any word.
Ram: your food still tastes the same.
Priya: so you do remember the past.
Ram: jaan
Priya: I'm very happy that you remembered me.
Ram: how can you say something like this? When did I ever forgot to remember you?
Priya: I'm thankful that you saved my daughter.
Ram looked at her with pain, listening to my daughter.
Ram: Priya please.
Priya: I will return your Money as soon as possible.
Ram: Priya.
Ram stopped talking seeing nurse walking towards them.
Ram: nurse.
Nurse: doctor.
Ram: how is she?
Nurse: she is in stable condition sir. So for there is an improvement. Dr. Bhatia did check and asked to change the dose seeing her improvement.
Ram: yeah I talked to him. For now follow his instructions and yes, Get that room close to my cabin ready. I don't want her to stay in this ward. Ask them to get it ready by morning. Once she wakes up, we need to shift her.
Nurse: ji sir.

Priya stood there silently listening to him, he kept tabs on ruhi even when he was busy. Priya didn't doubt his love for ruhi as he loved ruhi as ruhi before, now his love for increased manifold knowing she is his daughter.
Ram: if you want you can go and take rest in my room. I will stay here.
Priya: no I'm fine.
Ram: are you sure?
Priya: yes.
Ram: then you stay here while I
Priya: where are you going?
Priya panicked thinking he is going somewhere, Ram slightly smiled seeing her panick.
Ram: I'm not going anywhere. I will just take a quick shower and come as I need to check on rooh.
Priya: okey.
Ram: do you want anything to eat?
Priya: no I'm fine.
Ram: I will be back soon.
Ram started walking towards his cabin briskly while Priya sat there looking at his retreating figure.

After a while, Ram came freshly showered and went inside to see his daughter. He went and saw his small angel who was always full of life was lying in the bed like a fragile doll. He held her hand in his palm after kissing her palm. He softly caressed her cheeks which had bruises. She had her right hand injured as well. He was glad that she survived the fall. If she had taken little more time to get her first aid then it would have been fatal for her. He wiped his tears and came out to see priya waiting anxiously. Seeing his blood shot eyes, Priya got worried.
Ram: she is fine.
Priya: can I see her?
Ram: you can but you need to change first. She can get infected easily.
Priya nodded her head understanding him as she had only washed the blood stains but she was still in the same clothes.
Tarun: chief
Ram: did you drop Sara safely?
Tarun: ji chief. I have kept bhabhi ji and baby's things in your room.
Ram: thanks tharun. Priya you can go and get showered in room.
Priya nodded and went inside while Ram asked tarun to bring some food for them.

After a while, Priya came freshly showered and looked at Ram expectantly.
Ram: make it quick.
Priya nodded her head and went to see ruhi. She teared up seeing her angel all bandaged with closed eyes. She still remember ruhi begging her to take her with her. She should have listened to her. If she brought ruhi with her now she would chatting and playing with her grumpy uncle.

Priya placed a kiss on ruhi's palm exactly like Ram and caressed her cheek softly before heading out.

Priya came out and saw Ram whose eyes mirrored her pain. She just ran into his waiting arms and both broke down in eachother's arms finally hitting them that they may have lost their angel.
Priya: I'm sorry. I should have taken care of her properly. If only I listened to her.
Ram: it's not your mistake. You have raised her so beautifully. I'm proud of you both.
Priya: she wants to see her grumpy uncle today. She begged me to take her with me. I left her in home thinking I'm doing good for her.
Ram didn't say anything as he felt more sad listening to priya. He failed to protect his girls. His daughter was injured badly and his wife begging falling infront of everyone to save their daughter and that's how he saw his family after a freaking 5 years.
He can't fathom what Priya must have gone through in those few hours. What would have happened if he came the next day?  Ram closed his eyes in anger remembering the way neeraj and vedika treated his family. Ofcourse he isn't going to allow them to Scot free after all this. He unknowingly held Priya more tightly making it difficult for her to breath.
Priya: Rammm.
Ram left her immediately coming out of his stupor.
Ram: I'm sorry Jaan. I'm really sorry.
Priya: it's okey. Are you alright?
Ram: yeah I'm fine. I'm sorry I failed to protect you both.
Priya: that's true.
Ram looked at her with hurt eventhough she spoke the truth. Truth is always a bitter pill to swallow.
Priya: but I'm thankful to you forever for returning my rooh back to me.
Ram: our rooh.
Tarun: chief.
Ram: thanks tarun. You go and take rest.
Tarun: I'm fine chief.
Ram: no that's order. Eat something and take rest.
Tarun: Ji chief.
Ram: Priya let's eat.
Priya: no I'm fine.
Ram: I'm really hungry Priya and you gave me only small portion in lunch. It was not enough for me.
Priya looked at him bewildered as she had packed rotis that 2 persons can have solidly. He looked really hungry.
Without wasting time, she agreed and sat with him to have the food.
Ram opened the parcels excitedly while Priya masked her surprise with a blank face as he had ordered all her favourites without any change.
Ram excitedly started eating asking Priya to have.
