Meera took a deep breath, feeling the support of krishna and Vrindha surrounding her. 

Meera : I really want to let go of this hurt.

She said and her voice steadying. 

Meera : I don't want to feel stuck anymore.

As they continued to brainstorm ideas, the atmosphere shifted from somber to uplifting. With each suggestion, they crafted a plan that brought Meera a sense of direction and purpose. Even Krithi joined them .

Later, as the sun dipped lower in the sky, casting a warm glow through the windows, Meera looked around at her friends. 

Meera : Thank you for being here. It means the world to me.

Vrindha : Anytime.

Vrindha  replied by reaching out to squeeze her hand. 

Vrindha : You're not alone in this.

With renewed determination, Meera felt ready to embrace the changes ahead, buoyed by the support of her friends and the promise of new beginnings. Together, they transformed a painful situation into an opportunity for growth, laughter, and healing.

As the conversation lightened, Krithi turned to Meera with a curious look. 

Krithi : But why did you come here today ? What made you seek us out ?

Meera hesitated and her gaze is dropping. 

Meera : I... I felt like I was part of the reason for the rift between you and your father, Krishna. When you chose to marry Vrindha, it seemed to create a lot of tension.

Krishna sighed, shaking his head. 

Krishna : You're not at fault, Meera. It's my father who couldn't accept my choice. I had to follow my heart.

Meera : But if I had acted more maturely and considered how it might affect everyone.

Meera replied and  her voice is filled with regret, 

Meera : maybe things would have turned out differently.

Krishna softened by  trying to ease her guilt. 

Krishna : It's alright. What matters now is that we focus on moving forward. We can't change the past.

After a moment, Meera nodded, feeling a bit of the weight lift. 

Eventually, as the evening wore on, Meera stood to leave. 

Vrindha : Take care, Meera.

 Vrindha said by wrapping her in a warm hug. 

Vrindha : We're here for you, always.

Once Meera had left, Krithi settled down next to Vrindha, leaning against her.
