"बाबा, please मला घरी जाऊ द्या. गंधार आले असतील ते मला शोधत असतील बाबा." Devashree pleaded, her voice hoarse from crying continuously.

[Translation: Dad, please let me go home. Gandhar must be searching for me by now.]

"हे तुझं घर नाहीये का देवश्री?" Her father asked.

[Translation: Is this not your home Devashree?]

"तसं नाही बाबा पण —" Her father cut her off in between before saying,

[Translation: It's not like that dad—]

"मग कसं आहे? आम्ही काय वैरी आहोत तुझे का तुला डांबून ठेवून मरतोय वगैरे?" He asked bitterly.

[Translation: Then how is it? Are we your enemies or are we locking you up beating you?]

"अहो काय बोलताय तुम्ही हे?" Devashree's mother intervened in between.

[Translation: What are you saying?]

"मग अजून काय बोलायला हवं अपर्णा? हिच्या वागण्यामुळे काय आता हीची आरती ओवळायची का?" Devashree's father answered.

[Translation: Then what should I say Aparna? Should we worship her because of her behaviour now?]

"बाबा तसं नाहीये......खरंच माझं एकदा ऐकून तरी घ्या ना." Devashree pleaded as the guilt settled in her heart.

[Translation: Dad.... it's not like that..... please listen to me just once.]

"हो हो....नक्कीच ऐकेन ना तुझ सगळं काय ते......येऊदे फक्त तुझ्या सासरकडचांना, तुझ्या नवऱ्याला, आणि हो तुझ्या मैत्रिणीला सुद्धा." Her father said firmly leaving no room for discussion.

[Translation: Yes sure...... I'll listen whatever you have to explain.....but only after your in-laws, you husband and also your friend arrive here.]

"Devashree —" Everyone's eyes snapped towards him. Gandhar who was sweating profusely as if he was a part of marathon stood in front of them looking at Devashree as if she's the only thing which he needs right now to survive.

"या या.......जावई बापू या....तुमचीच वाट बघत होते आम्ही." Devashree's father said bitterly.

[Translation: Welcome welcome.......my dear son-in-law.......we all were waiting for you to grace us with your presence.]

But the couple was lost in their own world, the world which they had built up together till now, the world in which they get lost in each other's eyes...... communicate through them....... express their feelings through them....... falling in love with each other all over again.

Without caring about their surroundings, Gandhar spread his arms wider only for Devashree to hug him as tightly as she was able to. As if he's her entire world, which he was and she knew it very well.

Gandhar wrapped his arms around her caressing her back indicating his soothing presence which was the need of an hour for her.

"Gandhar." She whimpered as she buried her face in his chest pulling him more closer towards herself as if he'll disappear into thin air if she even loses a bit of that tight grip.
