He is crying for the first time. She is the sole reason behind his tears.
"I am sorry" She lowers her eyes in shame.
He steps closer to her gripp...

Sharanya extends her hand to twist the knob of door to move inside her Grandpa's cabin but her hand halts in the air listening to her Grandma's heart wrenching sobs. She peeks inside the room to find Veena clutching Viren's hand and weeping. Her heart breaks at this sight.
"Jiii, when will you wake up ?? It's getting difficult to breathe now without you. You promise to be with me always. Then how can you think about leaving me alone ? Aren't you done troubling me yet. I wake up everyday with so much hope only to see you lying lifeless on the bed. It breaks my heart to see you like this. It's making me weak. I am telling you if you keep on testing my patience then I will be the first one leaving this world. I can't live in world where you aren't beside me" Veena states in a vulnerable voice and her body shakes both due to crying and the weakness.
Sharanya's heart shatter into pieces listening to her words which she has been keeping it inside her heart. A familiar ache grips her heart. She is very much familiar to this ache. She has been feeling this everyday since her parents death. She is not prepared to bear another loss.
She quietly close the door and slide on the seat outside the cabin. Slamming her eyes shut she allows the tears to flow freely. She covers her face with her palms and cries. Fears surge through her which makes her heart beat fast.
Fear of living without her grandparents. She can't even imagine this. Heck !! She never wants to imagine about this. It's too much for her to endure this grief. She admits herself to be weak.
After few minutes of crying she reminds herself that she needs to be strong. It's not the right time to act weak and numb. She has to support her grandma. She decides to be strong for her sake and mentally scold herself for thinking all these unnecessary things.
Dabbing her face with the handkerchief she stands, determined to face her grandmother. To face her strength and smile. Before entering the cabin she check herself if she looks presentable enough to put up an act.
Veena quickly wipes her tears upon feeling Sharanya's presences while in return she force a smile at her. Veena lovingly caress her face as she stands beside her.
"Good morning pyaari dadi" Sharanya greets pressing a long kiss on Veena's forehead.
"A very good morning beta"
"Good morning dadu" Sharanya greets Viren too like she did with Veena. She keeps a flower below his pillow which she bring from pooja thali. It's her daily ritual now.
"Come here dadi. See what I made for you" Sharanya drags Veena to the nearby couch and opens the tiffin box.
"Methi Paratha your favourite" Sharanya grins making a bite for her and feeding it. Veena smiles proudly at her grand daughter and pats head in admiration.
"The best as always. My Sharanya is not less in anything. Ek dum Sarvagun sampan. So how are you ? How is everyone at Rajvansh Mansion ? Are they treating you well ?"
