A/N : If you've noticed the description of this story you'll know it is all about the things we humans carry inside us; these things, be it good or bad, ultimately direct our choices. The life we're living today, again be it good or bad, is our own choice. In every moment we've the chance to make a choice that can change the course of our lives.

And to forgive is to set a prisoner free, only to discover that the prisoner was you!

जिंदगी के सारे जवाब हमारे आँखों में लिखे होते हैं,
हमें एक दूसरे की आँखों में पढ़ना पड़ेगा...
हर किसी की जिंदगी में उसकी अपनी एक जंग है,
हर किसी को खुद ही लड़ना पड़ेगा...

"Nish... Nishant.. Wha... What.. are.. you.. doing here?"

Mishti found it hard to even stand properly.

Suddenly she felt something in her hand.

The Rope of Hope!

As Mishti felt Abir near her, he immediately pulled her into his embrace.

"Abir.. Abir..." Mishti fumbled, "Why is he here! Ask him to go... go ...."

Mishti held the Rope of Hope tight.

"Relax Mishti, look at me... look at me Mishti..." Abir cupped her face. "Now breathe in and breathe out. Relax... See I'm here with you. We're alright Mishti..."

Abir tried to pacify her.

After a few moments, Mishti felt relieved.

"Mishti, I've invited Nishant here today. He'll do no harm to you."

"But why Abir? What is the need? I feel... I feel so..."

"Disturbed?" Abir took the other end of the Rope of Hope. "Mishti, you know sometimes it's too hard to let go of the past and it's okay, only if it is not creating disturbance in your present. But if your old scars scare you so much, then we've to treat it well enough to remove them for good, isn't it?"

"But there's no need Abir. This will only create more trouble. I don't want to see him. Please Abir. I'm doing fine without this. I don't want to face anyone."

"Are you really fine Mishti? Is this what you call fine? Just trust me Mishti, you don't need to face him alone. We'll figure this out together okay? How will you enter your new journey of life if your old wounds still pain?"

Mishti didn't say anything. She feared meeting Nishant, but Abir... Abir is there for her. Should she take a chance? Is Abir right?

Abir hold her hands and made her sit in the sofa. In the meantime Naira too arrived there. As much as she was stunned seeing Nishant, she felt relieved that Mishti looked a bit confident.

"Hello Nish... Nishant. May I know the purpose of your arrival?" Mishti said, tightening her hold on Abir's hand.

Abir indicated Nishant to say whatever he has to say.

"Hello Mishti. It's... It's good to see you after so long. Actually I... I always wished to visit you but couldn't gather the courage to face you. I'm... I'm sorry Mishti."

Nishant was unable to meet Misthi's eyes. It's really difficult for him to face Mishti. Only Abir made him come to her and talk. But Nishant had no idea what he should be saying, he didn't know how should he apologize for something that ruined Mishti's life.
