~~Par soch lo is pal hai jo
Woh daastan kal ho naa ho~~

Vaidehi entered the room her heart heavy. Her dadi sat on the couch but her gaze shifted to the bed

Anirudh lay motionless his frail body a shadow of its former self sumitra sat beside him holding his hand tears streaming down her face

Sumitra "Vidhi beta come here He's been asking for you "

Vaidehi's eyes locked onto Anirudh's a mix of emotions swirling within
Anirudh's eyes once stern and disapproving now seemed weak and pleading

Vaidehi approached the bed her footsteps hesitant

Sumitra " meh pani leke aati hun "
She gave a gentle caress on Anirudh's hand and left the room after giving a quick hug to Vaidehi

Anirudh " tune toh kaha tah tu yaha wapis kabhi nahi ayegi "

Anirudh's voice laced with regret cut through the silence tears pricked at the corners of Vaidehi's eyes

Vaidehi "aana padra situation neh mazboor jo Kar diya he "

Anirudh " bohot jaldi pighal gyi tu "
He said with a regret full smile

Vaidehi chuckl bitterly
Vaidehi " beti jo hun "
The words hung in the air heavy with unspoken emotions

Anirudh " meh toh sorry bolne ke state me bhi nahi hun "

Anirudh's voice barely above a whisper cracked with emotion Vaidehi's eyes narrowed her voice firm

Vaidehi " aur na meh maaf karne ke "

The silence was oppressive thick with unresolved emotions
Anirudh's eyes dropped his shoulders slumping in defeat
Suddenly Vaidehi's expression softened

Vaidehi's expression softened her voice barely above a whisper

Vaidehi "Par apne jo kiya woh apki kamzori thi nahin meri "

Anirudh's eyes snapped up surprise and gratitude flickering across his face

Anirudh: "Vidhi..."

Vaidehi's hand extended hesitantly and Anirudh grasped it his eyes welling up.

Vaidehi "darti nahin hun apse dadu pyar karti hoon issliye sab sunleti thi aur kabhi kabhi jab palat jawab diya bhi toh ek limit ke baad "

Tears streamed down Anirudh's face as he pulled Vaidehi into a fragile hug
The silence was filled with the weight of forgiveness the beginning of healing

Vaidehi " mene apko maaf kiya "

Anirudh held Vaidehi tightly tears continuesly flowing down his face

Vaidehi " par maaf karne aur sab bhulne meh bohot fark hota he "

She said and Anirudh let out a sad smile remembering all the times he had hurt this little soul either by his judgmental words or by the effect of Manisha's manipulating he regretted the fact that he even misses her wedding because of his ego

Anirudh " ab meh chen se Mar sakta hun "

Vaidehi pulled out of the hug alarm etched on her face

Vaidehi " kesi baat Kar rahe he ap dadu-"

Anirudh " beta last stage he doctors ne bhi haat khrde Kar diye he "

Vaidehi's tears fell onto Anirudh's frail hands

Anirudh's eyes filled with a deep sadness

Vaidehi "Dadu apko hospital meh hona chahiye tha ?"

Anirudh "Beta doctors jo Kar sakte the unhone sab try karliya he . Now it's just a matter of time I want to spend my last days here with you all"
