Nivin.

I stared at her, I wanted to deny it, but deep down, I knew she's speaking the truth, just like when I saw Amma in the hospital long before, there's something in her too.

"I... I am sorry we are meeting like this, but I am Riya's husband." I said slowly, more politely.

"I know who you are and that's why I can't let you take her with you, not after what Aldricks did to her," she said and I froze.

I couldn't even say anything; I know she's right; Riya was suffering all this time.

"Grandma, Neev is a good person, he was protecting me all these time," Riya turned to her. "I was able to survive because of him,"

"No, you were in danger because of that Sebastian, I know all about it!"

"But-"

"You are right, I am ashamed too, I couldn't protect her but like I said before, she's my wife and I will take her with me, I assure you that she will never be in danger again,"

"I can't trust you anymore."

"Gran-"

"I can't go back without her," I said firmly.

"She's not coming back with you," she said. "Riya already promised me that."

"Riya?" I looked at her.

She turned to her Grandma, "I want to talk to him."

"You are talking to him now!"

"Alone," she said.

"I can accept anything other than you staying here Riya," I said firmly.

No, I am not planning to leave without her.

Sachin and Nikil were looking at the three of us.

"I was not even ready to let him meet you! Now you want to talk to him alone?"

"She's my wife! For God's sake," I am getting angry and irritated now.

"See him, he can't even control his temper!" she said.

"Um... guys," Sachin looked at us, "let's not keep arguing and come to a decision now," he said.

"Who are you?" Grandma's eyes landed on him.

"That's Sachin Dixit, you know his dad," Nikil said.

"You are Dev's son? Good God! He's a fine man but he keeps supporting Aldricks," she said.

I sighed, fed up.

"But I think he's right, its five minutes, let them talk," Nikil said.

Riya.

I closed the door and turned to him.

"Nivin-" I started but I was surprised when I was not-too-gently slammed against him.

"Do you know what I have been going through? I... I was out of my mind!" he looked really tensed, "I didn't know where to search for you!"

I slowly patted him on his back, "I am sorry, I could not contact you."

"Grandpa was blackmailing you, Sebastian was blackmailing you, even Nirosha was... doing it and you never expressed it, on top of that... I... I was being such a jerk to you-"

"Shh... It was all in the past, don't blame yourself Neev, we can't all control everything in life." I told him.

He took my face in his hands.
