Recap: Akhil recieve call from Kamini that her father was in critical condition at hospital.

************************

Akhil and Jhanvi arrived at the hospital and reached the floor where Kamini was crying standing by the door and Rajendran was sitting in one of the chairs. Akhil sat next to Rajendran and whispered dad getting his attention.

Akh: What happened ?

Raj: He collapsed suddenly. Liya found him and screamed looking at his condition. We got him here. 

Akh: Did something happen bothering him ?

Raj: We did spoke and nothing much. I got to know the truth and he too got to know some truth and now there is nothing left between us.

His eyes fell on Jhanvi who was standing not meeting his gaze. Akhil saw him and squeezed his hands.

Akh: She knows dad. I told her everything. Give her time and sure she will forgive you and accept you in her life. She is an angel and doesn't hold grudges against anyone.

Rajendran walked towards Jhanvi and knelt before her holding her hands. She tried to move but Akhil stopped her and sighed her to listen to him.

Raj: I m sorry Jhanvi, Any of my words will not justify what I did for you. I was so cruel to you and I accept there is no difference between what your grand pa and I did in our life. But life teaches lessons in the most unexpected way that we think better to take this life down rather than living. But now I don't want to take my life down because I have already lost my first love, your mother Lalitha and I lost all these years of loving you and protecting you instead I was the one to make your life a hell. I m a monster and deserve the most cruel punishment. I will endure any of your punishment for me Jhanvi ma but please don't shut me from your life. Give me one chance to repent for all my mistakes. Please ma...I beg you....Give me one chance.

Jha: If you loved my mother truly then you would have not believed others words in the first place. My mother left you on her own for your own goodness because she loved you so much. Even after going through only pain still she trusted grandpa. Both my mothers knew only loving everyone and sacrificing for others so I can never hate anyone being their daughter but I don't think I can forgive you for what you did for the maid girl Jhanvi. 

She yanked her hands and moved away crying  badly. Akhil squeezed Rajendran's shoulder.

Akh: Give her sometime dad, she is hurt but will come back to you one day and sure she will forgive you. She doesn't know to hold grudges on others. She only knows to love everyone.

Raj: I know, she is like her mother and I will wait for the rest of my life for that moment.

Liya was in still in her car in the hospital parking holding the crushed papers from her grandpa's diary. Her hands trembled and tears were unstoppable as she read the contents from the paper and many more from the diary. She saw her mobile ringing with Naren's call and she wiped her tears and answered his call who was waiting for her in the hospital entrance. She placed the diary in the dashboard and met him as they arrived at the floor. 

Doctors came out and Kamini and Akhil rushed to him to get to know about grandpa.

Akhi: Doctor how is he now ? Nothing to worry right ?

Doc: No sir, he is not stable and his pulse is getting low slowly. He is asking for Jhanvi and Liya. Please let them meet him and we are sorry. We doubt if he could make up this time.

Akhil turned to Jhanvi who slid down the floor hearing from doctor. Raj panicked at her state nd tried to move close to her but before him Akhil took her in his embrace.

Akh: Jaan, you should meet him. You are an angel love. Give him what he wanted and let him go in peace. 

He helped her stand and walked with her upto the door. He sighed Liya to join Jhanvi and they together entered inside the ICU where the old man was lying with all the tubes and equipments connected to his body. The loud sound of the alert from the patient monitor indicating his dipping pulse made Jhanvi and Liya's hand to tremble and unknowingly they held each other's hand which gave a peaceful smile on the oldman's face but the tears did not stop rolling from his eyes.

He raised his hand and caught their entwined hands and mumbled sorry to both of them.

Jha: Get well soon grandpa. Don't worry about anything.

His eyes fell on Liya and she gulped hard and they heard him saying sorry to her.

The flash was alerting that he was losing his pulse and they screamed calling the doctor. As soon as the doctor entered inside they ran out crying hugging each other and with in few minutes doctors informed that the old man's soul left his body. 

Kamini broke down and Naren side hugged her consoling her. Akhil called everyone and informed about the loss. Ram and Kabir arrived at the hospital and within a short time the formalities were completed and old man's body was taken to Kamini's residence for his final rites.

Though Rajendran stayed quite he did formally announce the demise of his father in law, the EX CEO  of KLR groups which made many business elites to turn up to give their last respect for him.

Chakravarthy, Sheela, Isha, Sita and Kamala arrived there and consoled the crying Kamini, Jhanvi, Sita and Liya. Akhil approached Rajendran to let him know that he was supposed to do the final rituals but he refused to do it.

Akh: You cannot do this to him dad. You cannot punish him this way. Jhanvi herself forgave him and she will never forgive you if you don't this right of yours. You know how much she loved grandpa and if you don't do his final rituals then you will lose every chance of getting her in your life.

Raj: Did he die because of me Akhil ? Did I rekindle the guilt in him which took his life ? I could not get over that my Lalitha is dead and I have a daughter who suffered for years because of me and now this old man has only added to my grief.

Akh: No dad, please don't blame yourself. He died because he was fighting his disease for years and it was his time. We cannot change the past but the furture lies in our hands.

Akhil finally convinced him and they came out and Rajendran saw the friends of his father in law who were paying respect. Jhanvi's eyes fell on a person who looked familiar but she could not recognize. She felt like she has seen him years back with grandpa. She called Ram and informed him about the person and he assured to find his details.

Later Rajendran did all the rituals for his father in law and Jhanvi though wanted to stay back to console Kamini and Liya who looked devastated she decided to leave and informed Akhil.

Raj: You both can stay here. Rooms has been arranged already. Akhil you can bring Saira from your home.

Jhanvi squeezed Akhil's hands who understood her discomfort that she had never stayed in Kamini's home. She only worked and stayed in the staff quarters. He sent Jhanvi with Kabir and Chakravarthy and faced Rajendran.

Akh: Sorry dad, give her time. She has never stayed over here and it may create doubts to Sita ma and others. Whatever happens we don't want to break Sita ma's heart. Nothing will change the fact that she is Jahnvi's mother so please understand.

Akhil reached Jhanvi and they drove back to penthouse. Liya was in her room sitting on the floor hugging her knees to her chest. Neetu was speaking to her but Liya sat without responding to her. Naren entered inside and informed Neetu to leave and he would take care of Liya. He sat next to her and pulled her to his lap.

Nar: Liya baby, let out your grief. I cannot see you like this. I can understand your pain but shutting yourself will only push you into depression. I cannot see my love in such state. 

He turned her face and kissed her forehead and she shut her eyes letting the tears. She hugged him and cried over his neck.

Liya: Sorry Naren, I m so sorry....Please forgive me....I won't cry anymore and hurt you.

Nar: Calm down love. Why do you say sorry to me...Just relax and now have some food. You need to sleep, look at your face. I want my love back.

He fed her food from his hand and she laid on his lap while he patted her to sleep. Once she was asleep Naren informed Kamini and left to his home. 

Next day Akhil was in kitchen preparing food for jhanvi when Ram came over. Akhil informed him that she was in the garden and Ram went straight to meet her.

Ram: How are you rose bud ?

Jha: How would I be ? The man whom I thought so great turned out to be opposite...

Ram: Whom are you saying ?

Jha:No, its just I m talking about grandpa. He left us and i did not expect this. He was the last person who could have helped us about Naren's parents death but he is no more. Where do we start now Ram ?

Ram: We still have someone to help Rose bud. I found the details of the person Anvi. He is Dr.Kailash a famous psychiatrist in chennai and also a well trained hypnotherapist. But he stopped practising hypnosis released a notice in regard to it after two months of Naren father's death. May be co incidence but still we can try to know if he knew something. After so many years why would he come and that too after grand pa's death ?

Jha: Exactly..but how do we meet him now. Akhil is not going for business it seems.

Ram: I will call kabir to distract him for the day and we will go meet him.

They reached the dining when Akhil called them for breakfast. Before they could finish breakfast Kabir called Akhil and informed him to reach office to settle the dicussions with the shareholders.

Jha: Akhil, you should go to office and get that addressed. I wil be fine and I m planning to go to temple with Ram and will be back soon. 

Akh: No angel, I want to stay with you and everything can wait. I m not leaving anywhere.

Jha: i want to meet Liya too Akhil. She looked worse yesterday. Not sure if everything is ok so let me do things to distract my mind. 

Akh: Will you be ok going there alone ?

Jha: Nothing has changed or will change so don't worry or I will call you after reaching temple then you can join me to Liya's home. 

Akh: Alright sounds good. I will get going then.

He kissed her temples and informed Ram to take care of her and quickly got dressed and left to his office. Ram and Jhanvi gave Saira to Isha and kamala before they left to meet the doctor. They reached his residence and waited in his living. Dr. Kailash greeted them and asked the reason for their presence at his home.

Jha: Doctor, my name is Jhanvi. I saw you yesterday at our grandpa's funeral. 

Doctor: You are his grand daughter ? I could not recognize you.

Jha: No actually I m not his grand daughter but I have seen you some years back with grandpa. I don't remember any of the family members taking treatment for pscycological problems so thought of knowing how you know our grandpa. 

Doc: What are you exactly expecting from me child ?

Jha: My answer will depend on what you have to say about the realtion between you and him .

Doc: He was the one whom I should have never met in my life. He was the one who made my dreams shatter.

Jha: We are trying to find a person who was a behind an accident years ago. I thought grand pa would help us to find the person but he passed away before we could confront him. But we found that you were a famous hypnotherapist and you stopped practice exactly after two months of the accident we are talking about. It may be coincidence still if you knew anything related to it through our grandpa can you let us know. The information you give will save many lives.

They watched his face turning pale and he excused from them went to his room and returned with a file in his hand which looked like a patient's file. He gave the file to Jhanvi and Ram and sighed them to open it.

Jhanvi and Ram opened it and the biggest shock of their life was in the file.
