"Ram, can you come down to the hospital?" Neha's voice from the other end on the phone quizzed Ram about any unforeseen event.
"Is everything alright Neha?" Ram asked this in a worried state.
"Don't worry Ram, I have some good news for you.." she smiled at the other end.
Ram who was still in a confused state asked: "Good news as in..."
Neha: "Ram, come over and we can have face to face conversation..."
Ram: "Ok..I shall be there in next half an hour..."
He kept the phone and kept wondering what the news could be. He questioned himself: "Is Priya out of coma? " For him this could be the only good news as he is waiting for her to come back to him. Without any further delay, he rushed to the hospital but again without failing to check upon his darling daughter.
Ram: "Neha, what is it?"
Neha ws happy to see Ram, she moved towards him, she took his hand in hers and with a bright smile on her face said: "Ram, your Priya is slowly coming back to life..."
Ram couldn't believe his luck. He was thinking of the same throughout his travel.
With a slight confusion in his mind, he asked: " What?"
Neha smilingly nodded in " yes" ..."Ram, you heard right...Priya is coming back...she has showed movements Ram, we all were surprised to see that, we were making ourselves sure of this before disclosing this news to you...I have not even told Vikram yet, since it should be only you to get this information..."
Ram was choked with emotions after hearing this confirmation. He was so eagerly waiting for this news to come. Today, after a long wait of 6 months since Peehu was born, this piece of information brought a myriad of emotions within him. He had missed Priya like anything in these 6 months especially. He was living a life without a soul, just for his daughter - a daughter who was a wonderful gift given to him by his Priya.
He sat down on the chair and tears started flowing in.
Neha could understand his emotions as both of them shared a bond of true friendship.
She asked: "Ram, dekhna nahi chahoge usey...""You have been waiting for this day to come..."
Ram replied: " Ab darr lag raha hai neha...how will I face her...saari zindagi ussey rudely baat krta raha...she gave me so much yet I didn't acknowledged her even once...I kept on harping my wounds which she already had healed it...I gave her so much pain Neha..."
Neha: "No Ram, don't even think like that. Priya had moved on in her life with you. She accepted you wholeheartedly and loved you truly. When you used to be in pain, she had cried, when you smiled, her happiness smiled too...she lived for you Ram, and I very well know you Ram. You too have accepted her long back. Whatever wrong you used to say to her it was never from your heart. You had already forgiven her after knowing Ria's truth. But it was just your forbidden pain for your love which kept on coming across and was being hit. Ram, you too have moved on with Priya. You too have sanctified your marriage with her. At times, you have protected her, had got worried for her, that was all your love for her. Tumhe khud pata nahi chala, ke kab tumne Priya ko apnaya...kab tumhe ussey pyar hua...kab woh tumhari zindagi ka atoot hissa bani..."
