THE VALIANT GAME✔️

27

Dhruv : I understand the challenges. But I want us to try again, to rebuild what we lost. I want us to be a family once more. I've missed you more than I realized.

Dhruv told in a sincere tone. 

Ishanvi stood up and walked over to Dhruv, her heart beating faster. She looked into his eyes, seeing the genuine emotion there. She reached out and took his hand.

Ishanvi :  Dhruv, I still have feelings for you too. It's been hard, and I've tried to move on, but... there's a part of me that always missed you. I was unable to live without thinking about you. I love you dhruv ! Please forgive me for everything I have done to you ! 

Dhruv stood up by closing the distance between them. He gently cupped her face in his hands, his eyes searching hers.

Dhruv : Ishanvi, if you're willing, I want to make things right. I want to be with you and Nivriti, to build a new future together. But I am just afraid that if we fell apart again I can't survive anymore. 

Ishanvi kissed him and cut his words off. She nodded in disagreement.

Ishanvi : Don't speak like that dhruv ! 

Dhruv : You will never leave me again right ? 

Ishanvi's eyes glistened with tears as she nodded. She leaned into Dhruv's touch, her heart is swelling with a mixture of hope and love. Dhruv leaned in and gently kissed her forehead, a tender gesture that spoke of their shared past and the possibilities of their future.

Ishanvi : Let's take it one step at a time. We have a lot to rebuild, but I'm willing to try.

Dhruv :  That's all I could ask for. We'll do this together, for us and for our daughter.

They embraced, holding each other close as if trying to make up for all the lost time. The weight of their past struggles seemed to lift, replaced by a renewed sense of hope and connection. Dhruv felt content by having his girl in his embrace. Nivriti ran towards them and he lifted her up in his arms. The family had an emotional reunion which is witnessed by Vidathri who just came there. She smiled but a part of her is not able to accept that she is going to slip into a lonely life again. But she still feels happy for them.

In the weeks that followed, Dhruv and Ishanvi took gradual steps to rebuild their relationship. They spent more time together, shared their thoughts and feelings, and worked to establish a stable and loving environment for Nivriti. The road ahead was not without challenges, but their shared history and deep connection gave them the strength to face them together.

The bond between Dhruv and Ishanvi grew stronger as they navigated their new beginning, finding solace and joy in their renewed commitment to each other. As they watched Nivriti laugh and play, they knew that their family, once fractured, was healing and growing stronger, ready to embrace a future full of hope and love.

Ishanvi sat in her quiet living room, the room softly lit by the late afternoon sun. She picked up the phone and dialed her parents' number. Her heart pounded as the call connected, and her mother's voice came through the speaker.

Ishanvi's Mother : Hello, Ishanvi. How are you ? 

Her mother spoke warmly.

Ishanvi :  Hi, Mom. I've been thinking a lot lately and I wanted to talk to you and Dad. Is it a good time ? 

Ishanvi spoke in a nervous tone.

Ishanvi's Mother : Of course, dear. What's on your mind ? 

Ishanvi's mother asked her in a calm tone.

Ishanvi : I've been reflecting on the past and realized that I haven't always been respectful or appreciative. I know I made a lot of mistakes and hurt you both. I'm really sorry for the way I acted, especially when I was younger.

Ishanvi's Mother : Ishanvi, we've missed you. It's been hard, but hearing you say this means a lot. We've always loved you, and we understand that life has its challenges. You are the only child who was born after lot of prayers. You're my lifeline child. 

Ishanvi : Thank you, Mom. I know I wasn't always the best daughter. I'm hoping to make things right and show you how much I've grown and changed.

Ishanvi's Mother : We appreciate that, dear. Your father and I would love to see you and talk in person. Let's arrange a visit.

A few days later, Ishanvi, Dhruv, and Nivriti arrived at her parents home. The atmosphere was tinged with nervous anticipation. Her parents greeted them with warm, tearful hugs, and there was a heartfelt exchange of apologies and forgiveness. Ishanvi's parents are delighted to see their granddaughter. They immersed her with years of affection. 

Ishanvi's Father : We're so glad to see you. We've missed you, and we're proud of the person you've become.

Dhruv nodded and they shared an embrace. 

Ishanvi's father : Ishu ! You are back. That's the only thing I wanted to see at this age. 

Ishanvi : Thank you, Dad. I've missed you both so much. I'm sorry for all the pain I caused.

Ishanvi's Mother :  We're just happy to have you back in our lives. Let's move forward and make new memories together. What else we need at this old age ? 

With their familial relationships mended, the focus shifted to the upcoming wedding. Ishanvi and Dhruv planned a small, intimate ceremony to celebrate their renewed commitment, surrounded by their loved ones. 

The days following Dhruv and Ishanvi's emotional reunion were filled with new beginnings and reflections. Ishanvi was determined to mend fences and start afresh. One of her top priorities was to reconcile with her parents, with whom she had not been on the best terms for many years.
