Dear Randhir

I know you didn't expect to hear from me ever after that. I had believed so too but destiny has it's own plans. Since you're reading this letter it means I'm no more there to take care of our daughter or perhaps on my death bed and you've been called to take charge of her from here. You can have a DNA test if you've any doubts about it though Rhea looks exactly like you except for her eyes which you'll have to agree she's got from me! Yeah I've named her Rhea, just like you always wanted it to be.

We, i.e. me and Rhea never imagined that we'll be able to see you in our lifetime but at least one of us has been fortunate enough to meet you Mr.Shekhawat J I'm glad that it's her.

I know before I tell you what I want to, you would have your own questions and this time I won't disappear I'm going to answer each one of it. I won't apologize for that time though because it wasn't in my hands. I wish you would already know about this by now but I doubt that's ever going to happen but for once I want you to trust me on this.

You already know that our marriage wasn't really approved by your money minded and orthodox Uncle. You thought things will change with time but they never did Randhir, they never did. I don't want to get into the details of the trauma I went through at home while you were away because that would be painful for both of us. You can ask any occupant of the mansion if you ever wish to know and then there's my diary in your Nani's room, in her cupboard's locker. I left it there for you long before I knew I would be stuck in a situation like this. (Just don't get too high with my feelings for you after you read it I was naïve back then.)

When you thought I had eloped with your business partner I was begging your Uncle to pardon my life because I wasn't alone in my body Randhir I had Rhea. I wanted to tell you before that I was expecting again and I didn't want to lose my child like before so I didn't tell in front of others. I know you were disturbed, I know you trusted me and somewhere deep down still do but I also know about your Uncle's deep influence on your thoughts and actions. He agreed to set me free on one condition that I will never meet you again, never try to contact you otherwise he'll kill my baby. I don't know how he found out about our baby but he did. I had no option but to agree. I love Rhea more than anything in the world and I want you to do the same. I know you will be an amazing Dad Randhir.

I know what you've been doing all this while Shekhawat and to be honest I was a little happy that there hasn't been a single women in your life after me but now it's time to let go.It's time to move on , it's time to give love another chance. It's time to give another chance to life Randhir.

Now that you're father just be more responsible than you've already been.

And I have no instructions per se for you Randhir Papa . Just take care of Riu and of yourself too , always remember you're all she has now.

Love you Randhir . Always have and always will.

Forever Yours
