I am sitting in the room when l see Ranch come into the room.

"Ranch I am going to Mumbai for my mothers death anniversary. My Dada will be letting her stuff go and finally moving on from her" I say

"Okay Manna; I will accompany you. You have to be strong this time" Ranch says

"I know Ranch" I say

I sit up and think about everything that has happened when l pack my suitcase and me and Ranch board the flight going to my Father's house. I suddenly feel heavy inside me when l drink water.

We land in Mumbai when Ranch drives me to my Father's house. I stand at the door when l feel very sick. Could it be the baby that is making me so sick.

"Manna you are here" Mama says

"I am home Mama" I say when l go upstairs to my room and vomit in the sink.

Goodness this is getting too much. I feel sick almost every day since l found out about the pregnancy. Mama walks into my room and looks at me.

"Mama you are here" I say

"You are feeling sick??; Manna are you pregnant" Mama asks

"Yes I am Mama" I say

Mama jumps off joy as she hugs me

"I am going to be a Grandmother" I say

"Shh I don't want to attract Nazar so let's wait till it a fast time to announce it" Mama says

Ranch comes into my room when l hug him and he hugs me back. Mama walks out the room and closes the door. Ranch picks me up and puts me on the bed when he holds my hand and looks at me.

"Manna what do you need" Ranch says

"I just need you to hold my hand Ranch and just be with me. I just need you with me right now" I say

Ranch holds me as l fall asleep on the bed when l hold my stomach.

The following morning I wake up and get dressed in a white kurta pajama when l come down and Dada is sitting on the couch.

"I remember getting the call that your mother was in an accident and when she died and you just nonstop crying" Dada says "She saved you Manna and she loved you more than anything and l know that now for sure"

"When did she die" I ask

"She got into the accident and she managed to get you out. She was still breathing and about when she got to the hospital at some point their she died but she saved her daughter" Dada says

"Well l know she loves me even if l didn't meet" I say

"You are her love" Dada says

"I think we should go and see her" I say

Dada and l get into the car when he drives off to the graveyard. I put my veil over my head and we walk to my mother grave. It is pretty clean when l sit and down next to Dada.

"Hi Asma" Dada gasps "I have finally brought your daughter to you Asma. I have told her everything about what l did to you Asma. I am really really really sorry. You deserved better and l guess l realised that way too late. I mean really late when my daughter made me realise it. My pain is nothing to what l did to you. What l did to you ended up taking your life taking you way too soon. You seriously didn't deserve any of the pain l caused you"

"She was a good woman from what l hear she deserve better you are very right about that" I say

"If l can ever atone for what l have done I will do any day Manna. I would do anything for her to forgive me one more time just once but now I will never get her forgiveness l need to beg for cause you cannot even talk to me anymore" Dada says
