Chapter 76


Vivaan was having breakfast.With pin drop silence.On table.Today both brothers planned.Go to office together.Others were already done with breakfast.Reyaansh noticed from few days.Somthing has happened again.Cold war seemed to lessen.Between duo.Varna was back to her normal.Health and started her routine.But she wasnt back to doing yoga.In morning.Now it has become routine.For both brothers to go for walk.Then do yoga together for some time.

Reyaansh thought if he should ask Vivaan.If anything was wrong.Then he felt few things should.Be better kept between husband and wife.After some time.Both left for office.


Giving Pranush bath was.No less than fighting war.He is becoming too loud.Nowdays getting all pampered by Varna.Ofcourse others too.He made Varna bath too.Along with him.Throwing water on her clothes.Face and hair.She glared at him.But his pout melted her heart.She kissed him.Bringing him back to room.Drying him up with towel.That is when his real fun starts.He was on bed.Throwing his legs and hands.Trying to stand alone.All were waiting for that day.When he will walk.He tries to now.With shaky steps.

Var-"Pranu is good boy.We will wear red color today.See there is winnie pooh.On shirt."

He made face.Expressing his dislike for shirt.He started crying.Varna knew he will not wear this shirt now.She got another yellow shirt.Little one also rejected it.Then came blue and few other colors.All were rejected.Varna already felt tired.She looked at Pranush.Sucking his fist.She brushed his curly hair.Making him sit on her lap.Cooing his cheeks.

Var-"You are becoming like.Your father.So much tantrums.You want to roam around.Like this.In house.Showing your abs?"

He chuckled loudly.As if understood.Varna tickled his tummy.Making him laugh.She loved spending.These small moments with.Her bundle of joy.After having play time.She settled him back on bed.He held her stole.Showing his possession over it.Varna came back.With two shirts.One black.Other was black and white.His little fingers.Tugged at black and white one.Without doubt she understood.Making him wear clothes.She powdered him.Brushed his hair.Put black dot behind his ear.Ending with tight kiss.Gave him his toys.She looked at him.With deep thoughts.Pranush has always been.Link between her and Vivaan.Lately she has been realizing that more.Somehow he gets them together.In one way or other.Even his favorite color.Is black and white.When he should be going after colorful.Dresses and things.Black is Vivaans favorite color.While white is Varnas.Such was their fate.String of love.She shivered at mention of love.

One of evenings at house.When ladies decided to spend.Some time together.Varna came with mugs of coffee.Settled along with Nandini.Lata and Shivani.Men havent returned from office.

N-"Varna Amma is telling us.Her and Appas love story.How romantic.Amma did you started falling for Appa.Before or after married to him."

Shivani laughed along with Nandini.Lata hid her blush.Remembering good times.Varna played with her fingers.Mention of love have started.Doing something to her.After that big nights.Strange confession she felt more lost.She havent answered back Vivaan.Instead came back to room.Shivering and shocked by his outburst.Her thoughts werent clear to herself.

L-"In our times.Love used to happen after marriage.But what we felt.It was something so special.One cant express in words.Love isnt only liking person.Who is your life partner.It is about giving acceptance to your partner.Being with him.In every step of life.Accepting each others choices.Likes dislikes.Most importantly respecting each other.This completes vows of marriage."

N-"Your son have already.Frogotten those Amma.He islazy to pick me.From hospital.Imagine what he will do after years."

Shivani smiled and her gaze shifted to Varna.Who remained seated.Playing with rim of mug.On her hand.Coffee was still there.She could understand.Kind of dilemma she was in.

Sh-"Varna your coffee is getting cold.Have it."

Var-"Sorry I."

L-"Look at this girl.Saying sorry for this also."

N-"Varna what do you think.Being in love before marriage is interesting.Or after marriage."

Nandini bit her lips.Realizing what she has said.Lata and Shivani also sensed Varnas face changing colors.But sooner or later.Day has to come.When Vivaan and Varna.Have to be couple.They were also waiting to see.That day.

Var-"I.Dont know."

Sh-"Love is love.Before or after.How does it change.Equations of love.When you feel for person.You dont have to convey to him or her.In words.Your eyes will say that.Some emotions are too deep.Even if someone denies.Loving other.She may be denying for reasons.But her eyes or actions can never.Deny that she is in love.If you strongly feel for someone.Then its not something.Which should make you feel guilty.To love is everyones right.Its a beautiful feeling."

N-"Oh God.I should quote this.No doubt you are writer."

Shivani didnt move her gaze.From Varna all this while.She could feel her hands shaking.As she moved out of room.Making some excuse.She can never go wrong.Judging this girls heart.After she stayed with them for so long.Even if she denies.She was in love.


Vivaan didnt change his attitude.After that day.It did hurt him.With Varnas accusation.But he also knew this girl.Tries to do everything possible.To fake her words.Stopping her heart from expression.Her real emotions.But he softened abit.He didnt force her to do his work.Surprisingly she did everything.On time.Keeping his things ready on bed.For office.His breakfast ready.But she made sure.Not to do all this in his presence.She was running away.He smiled.One morning getting ready for office.Buttoning up his shirt.

V-"Run Varna.Will also see.How far you can run.Someday you have to stop."

It was late than his usual time.He takes to get ready.Varna was looking for Pranushs bottle.He was crying downstairs.Not getting his milk.She came to room in hurry.To get it and door opened.She found Vivaan standing without shirt.Facing her.For one second both eyes got locked.Varna turned around.Feeling floor moving under her feet.Why she had to come now.What was he still doing.At home.

Var-"Im sorry.I.I came to.Take Pranus bottle.He is hungry."

Vivaan smirked.Buttoning up his shirt.Brushing his hair with fingers.He walked keeping.His gaze fixed on her.He could finally.Get hold of her.Also at this embarassing moment for her.So how can he let her go.Without having fun.

V-"So.Why are you giving me explanations.Its your room.Can come any time."

She shut her eyes.She wanted to avoid interaction.With him and here.This had to happen.He saw her.Still standing in same position.

V-"You can turn this side now.Here your bottle."

Bottle was in his hand.He willingly thought.To press her more.She turned around.To get shock again.Seeing him standing in.Unbuttoned shirt.She frowned.Taking bottle from him.Reaching door.She eyed him.

Var-"If you wish to roam around.Without clothes in room.You should lock door too."

She left banging door.Which made him smile.

V-"Varna Shetty.How long will you fight.I wont let you win so easily."


Vivaan and Reyaansh returned from office.With Reyaansh carrying pile of books.Alone while Vivaan settled on sofa.Nandini gave them water.Laughing at state of her hulk husband.

N-"Instead of dumbles.Protein cans my husband.Is holding books today.Thats news to me."

R-"Its all because of Anna.Dont know why he is becoming.Weird day by day.Suddenly he starts doing yoga.Then keeping this weird hair style.Beard and now.He bought whole book shop."

Shivani came surprised to see.Books at their house.She was writer.But she never found anyones interest.In this house for reading on that level.She looked at books.Then at her son.Who was tired.

Sh-"Vivaan when did you started reading.Never told me about this."

V-"Mom you know well.How good Im at reading.Only business sections.That also on articles or magazines."

R-"Then why did you.Made me carry these all."

V-"Stop sulking Rey.Promised you treat right.Mom please ask helper.Keep them in my room.Will shift them to library tomorrow."

Vivaan left carrying his bag.To his room.Leaving Reyaansh Shivani and Nandini.With mouths open.

R-"Im telling you.Library at our house?"

Sh-"Despite of me.being writer.It never happened."

N-"Now its happening.Ofcourse for someone."


Varna didnt knew.What she was doing.Why she was doing in early morning.Tucking her stole neatly.Around her waist.She tried to pick.Heavy pile of books.Which made them land on floor.She cursed at her timing.

V-"When you cant do something.You should ask for help.It doesnt cost money."

She seethed in anger.Vivaan picked up books from floor.Set them on table.He asked her to follow him.He opened one shelf.Started arranging books there.She didnt stop glaring at him.While passing books.He was aware of her expressions.Laughed from inside.

Var-"Why are you doing all this."

V-"Good that least.You opened your mouth.Else I thought.You have taken oath.To shut it forever."

Var-"Look Im not joking.I have work.You can take someone elses help."

V-"I want your help.So pass me books.Yes those ones.New stack.Wont they look good.Here?"

She was least interested.In all this.She didnt knew why.When she woke up.Saw him getting ready.Next he asked her.To follow him on room.Which she didnt knew existed.When she had option to refuse.Being Varna she is.He knew how to make her do.What he wants.He called Shivani.Informed her that Varna will be helping.Him so that she can handle breakfast.

Var-"Havent seen you.Reading books.Why all this now.Just to waste my time."

V-"So you do notice me.Can deny that?"

Var-"No I dont.I.Said like that.Heard from others."

V-"So bad at lying.Anyways lets move on to.Next shelf.Its for another section."

She followed him making face.Here she thought she will.Wash her hair taking time today.She was made to.Be busy with him.Out of all people.

V-"At touch of love.One becomes poet.Interesting.Varna books do lie right.They write anything.Just to sell."

Var-"Person like you.Is expected say such thing only.Books reflect reality.Better than dreams."

V-"You agree to that.Hey you do read books."

Var-"yeah I do.Now keep this and let me go.Have work."

V-"You lie so well.Didnt knew.You dont read books."

Var-"I said.I do.Why will I lie.Why am I even wasting time on you."

V-"If thats case then.Why havent you become poet yet.Touch of love.You see."

He hid grin coming on his face.She couldnt show.Ounces of anger.Running through her veins.She calmed herself down.He was doing all this.Just to annoy her.She had enough.She set her stole on her shoulder.Leaving from there.When felt him holding her wrist.

Var-"Leave me.Else I will shout."

V-"What will you say.Save me.My husband caught my hand."

Var-"Listen I think.Made it clear.That night.All this wont result in anything."

V-"True.Even I thought enough.After that night.I became sure too.About something."

He left her hand.Came closer to her.She touched her wrist.Which still had feel of his touch.She frowned at him.Moving to her with intense look.

Var-"Good that you understood.Should be in limits now."

V-"Who decides the limits.Me or you.Or us both."

Var-"Will you stop.coming closer to me.This place feels so suffocated."

V-"Its not place.But you from inside.Who feels difficult to breath.Admit it Varna.Let yourself free.There is no harm.On living life.You wish to."

Var-"I dont fear any harm in life.Im content way Im.Leave my way."

V-"Our destination is same.So you will find me.Every way you choose.I will be there.Cross your path."

She tried again to go.When he played with her.Few times.Getting on her nerves.Suddenly books fell.Down from top of shelf.He caught her on time.Saving herself.Him too and this made both of them.Land on floor.Her on top of him.After few seconds they realized.They were safe.Vivaan was gazing at her eyes.They were sharp.Without any kohl.Looked appealing to him.While Varna wanted.This moment to pass soon.She was terrified to be so close to him.She tried to get up.Felt his hold around her.

Var-"its all because of you.Whatever happening.Day you entered my life.It has become hell."

V-"Give me chance.I will make this hell.heaven for you."

Var-"Leave me.Else.You dont know.What I will do."

V-"Even I want to see.What things you can do."

She tried getting out of his grip.While he enjoyed.Seeing her struggle.He winced in pain.Sensing her sharp.Nails piercing his skin.She got up.Correcting her dress.Smirked at her and left.He laid there.With pain but smile on face.


At evening all gathered together.Have tea and snacks.Varna made coffee and she needed.Someones help.Take them on tray.But all were busy.So she thought she will take them alone.When hand caught tray.

V-"I will take this.You go and seat."

Var-"I dont need your help."

Varna was Varna.She glared at him.Not letting him holding tray.

V-"Women.And their tempers."

Vivaan munched on snacks.He was concentrating on.Discussion going around.His focus was also.On Varna.Who was busy pampering Pranush.Vivaan had an idea.He dropped his coffee mug.

N-"Anna I will make.Another coffee for you.Let me clear this."

V-"Its alright Nandu.I.Will manage."

She frowned cleaning mess.He slowly made his way.Beside Varna on carpet.She was too busy playing.In her own world with Pranu.Who grinned at his father.Vivaan kissed him.Eyeing Varna.She was again.Irritated to see him there.She woul dhave moved somewhere else.If everyone werent present there.Reyaansh came and took Pranush.He was center of attraction.For everyone.For new antic he was learning.He was made to dance.While all clapped.Vivaan also participated.He could see for once.His wifes shining face.Reason was Pranush.

Varna took sip from her mug.Keeping it.She didnt realize.When he took her mug.Sipping coffee from it.He acted innocent.As if he didnt knew anything.She whispered to him.Making sure no one hears them.

Var-"This is my mug.I already had from there."

V-"Oh sorry.I didnt knew."

Var-"My lipstick mark is there.How did you.Why cant you.Leave me alone."

Vivaan smirked.At her.Making her face flush red.As he took sip.From area where her lipstick mark was visible.He relished taste.Willingly to annoy her nerves.

V-"Cant do that sorry.Not in this life time.Thanks.Coffee was too.Sweet."

He winked at her.Handing her empty mug.She banged it on floor.Keeping her face as normal.As possible.He was making it.Impossible for her.She has to find way.before he breaks her.


Small moments like these.Took place almost every day.Slowly Vivaan was taking over.Varna and wall she has surrounded herself with.She was scared.Let him enter there.She cant let that happen.She was too tired.Expressing her dislike towards him.His moves foiled by her every time.But he was stubborn.With his ways.Every time he comes up with something new.Annoy her and see that.Look on her face.He was sure.By now she still feels for him.But something was stopping her.

It was another evening.All busy having tea and chatting.Vivaan being himself.Didnt take his mug.He chose to settle for hers.When she was almost sipping on it.Others noticed that.Avoiding it clearly.Happy from inside to see equation.Between them changing slowly.Varna was fed up.She didnt knew how to stop him.or she was tired to think.Of way to make him away from her.She was fiddling with ring.On her finger with frown on face.When she noticed.His gaze on her ring.It was strong and she could.See tinge of jealousy.On him.From inside she felt different.Was he possessive of her.Has he really.Started falling for her.Or he was compromising.Give her back same love.He once couldnt give back.it was always.Which kept her back thoughts on mind.If he was showing.Sympathy towards her.

She saw him again.Having coffee and looking at ring.He didnt look pleased.With her still wearing it.Even she didnt knew.Why she was holding on to it.When everything was over.Shakthi was happily married.In life.She touched ring.Caught it on her hold.Vivaan saw that.Something break inside him.It makes him feel.Dejected and defeated.Every time he sees her.Holding on to that last piece.Of her broken so call relationship.If he can think of.Giving chance to their present.Why cant she.When she never loved Shakthi.He frowned going from there.She saw that.

He was working in laptop.At night.Sitting on bed.Varna was applying oil on her hair.It was as if.Tables took turn.She flaunted ring.In front of him.Many times from evening.Igniting him.jealousy inside him.For times he felt.If he could take that piece.Out of her and threw it somewhere.But deep inside.He wanted to wait.For day she will do that.Force cant make anything happen.

She looked at him.From mirror.It was regular.How he gaze at her.When she was brushing her hair.But today he didnt look at her.So plan was working.She was happy.Brushing her hair.

It was unusual of Pranush.Be awake at this hour.He was fussy today.For some reason.Vivaan heard his sobs.Little one hid his face.On Varnas shoulder.Rubbing his face.On her stole.She said what not.Pamper him and lul him to sleep.He adored sight.Keeping away his laptop.Varna saw him.She became conscious.Pranush has by this time.Taken her stole away.She knew his gaze was on her.She felt too awkward.With him staring.Pranush chewed her stole.When she tried to take it back from him.he burst into tears.She picked him up.Walking from one end of room.To another.Every possible way calm him.Finally she settled with.Him on her lap.Making him have water.Kissing him.

V-"I wanted to have word.With you about something."

Var-"I dont want to."

He felt shocked.At sudden insult she threw at him.But he was no less.He will teach her.good lesson tomorrow.

V-"Its about Pranu.Something important.That needs be heard by you."

Var-"Say."

V-"Appa.I mean your Appa called.Few days ago.He wants to do something.Regarding his will.He expressed.His wish to me that.He wants to name some shares of his company.Property too.On Pranus name."

Mention of her father.Brought back dull memories to her.She stiffened on her place.Vivaan saw that change.He wouldnt have.Shared it with her.Because he knew.How she was on two ends.With her own family.He was full yon her support.But it was better.If he keeps himself away.Rather interfering on father and daughter.Pranush was playing with Varnas hand.Her fingers.He found ring shining.Something new.Of his interest.he frowned trying to poke on it.

V-"Varna.I."

Var-"Why are you.Telling all this.He called you.Dont think.I need be aware of all this."

V-"You do.Because he is your son too.I havent said anything to him.But Im not okay with this.Pranu is too small now.I understand its his gesture.Love for him.But property and all issues.I dont want this."

Var-"You say to him.Why are you telling me."

V-"He is your father.Whatever happens.I thought to share with you.if I refuse him.You may feel bad.I told you my decision."

Varna thought for while.Her attention wasnt on anything.Except thinking about her family.Every time she feels.Pain on her heart.How she survives.Without talking with her father.Doesnt he miss her.He thinks about Pranush too.But what about her.It was true Pranush.Will get his right.She cant miss fact.Ramya was his biological mother.So Prakash wanted.Give her rights to him.

Var-"Its Pranus rights.Get what was Ramyas once.Let him give.Dont refuse.Well its my opinion.Its up to you now."

While both were busy.In this discussion.Didnt realize when baby did something.Suddenly they heard his voice.Crying loudly and as if.He felt choked.Varna was shocked.Her breath stuck on her throat.Seeing her life.Like that.Pranushs face became red.With eyes wet with tears.He was feeling pain.She didnt knew what happened.She rubbed his back.Calm him down.Not knowing.What matter was.Vivaan sensed something.

Var-"Why is he.Crying like this.Pranu what happened."

V-"Shit.Where is you ring."

Varna was horrified.Find it no longer on her finger.She didnt sense.When Pranush was playing with it.At one point he.Succeeded take it out.Of her finger.As her hands were already oily.Varna and Vivaan looked at each other.Sharing fear of moment.Their life.Was at stake.They felt and blank.

V-"Pranuu."
