A week passed by. Mithi was in better health now. Ruhana was checking her up. Rajat and Purvi were also there. After the checkup, she turned to Purvi…

“ Bhabhi aapko Mithi ka khaas khayal rakhna hoga. Abhi thodi weak hai.” she said.

“ Don’t worry, i will take care.” she said.

Ruhana then handed a paper to Rajat..” yeh kuch dawaiyan hai. Aap mangva lijiyega. “ she said.

Rajat nodded and Ruhana was about to go when Mithi held her hand. She turned back to find Mithi smiling weakly at her. Rajat and Purvi left the room. Mithi looked at Ruhana….

“ Kyun kiya ye sab?? Mar jaane deti” she said.

Ruhana smiled….” Kisi ke jhoothe pyar ke liye sachchi dosti nnahi kho sakti main. Aur...aur main jaanti hoon tum Vineet se bahut pyar karti ho.”

“ pyar toh tum bhi karti ho usse.” she said.

SHe smiled lightly…” karti thi. Par ab nahi karti. Jise mere pyar ki kadar nahi, main kyun uske liye dukhi houn. “ she said.

“Lekin uske family wale? “ mithi asked.

Ruhana tapped on her cheeks… “Unki chinta mat karo. Main unhe mana lungi. “ she said.

Mithi smiled weakly…” kyun kar rahi ho aisa? “ she asked.

“kyunki tumhari khushi Vineet se hai. Tum aaram karo. Main aati hoon. “ she said and moved out of the room.

Vineet was standing outside the room…

“Mujhe mithi se milna hai. “ he said for the umpteenth time.

“thik hai jao. Par usey takleef mat dena. “ she warned him.

He nodded and entered inside the room. Mithi was sitting on the bed. She saw Vineet entering in. She was upset…

“kyun aaye ho? “ she asked.

“I'm sorry mithi. Mujhe samajh nahi aaya ki main kya karu. Ruhana ke sath sath tumhe bhi hurt kar diya. “ he said tearily.

“tum apne pyar ke liye kuch bol nahi sake. Kaise karu main tumhara yakeen?” she asked.

“Mithi… I know I was at fault. But.. Par I love you… You know that. “ he said.

“toh jaake apni family se baat kyun nahi karte?” she asked.

He rubbed off his tears… “aaj hi baat karunga. Bas tum mujhe maaf kar do. “ he asked.

Mithi gave up, for she knew, she couldn't live without him. She pulled him in a hug. She cried in his embrace. He placed a soft kiss on her head and asked her to take care and left for home.

Singhaniya Mansion

Ruhana entered inside and Manvi rushed to her…

“howz she? Wo thik hai na? “ she questioned..

Ruhana smiled… “she's fine. Bas thodi si weakness hai. She'll be fine. “

Manvi sighed… “thank God!! Main darr gayi thi. “she said.

“Acha hua usey kuch nahi hua. Aapne bahut acha kaam kiya hai Ruhana. “ Vandana said while patting her head.

“maine acha kaam kiya, yeh main tab maanungi jab aap Mithi ko is ghar ki bahu ke roop mein sveekar karengi. “ Ruhana said.

“wo ladki is ghar mein nahi aayegi. “Asha said.

“Toh thik hai ma… Aaj se main bhi is ghar se sare rishte todti hoon. “ Ruhana said sternly looking at her.

She wiped off the vermillion off her head. Asha was shocked. She raised her hand, but ruhana held it…

“hath mat uthaiyega. Jo maine aaj kiya na yeh mujhe tab karna chahiye tha jab aapke bete ne mujhe aur is shadi ke rishte ko najayaz kaha tha. Aapki hi tarah aapka beta bhi ziddi hai. Samjhi aap! “ she shouted.

“kabhi toh izzat se badhke apne bete ke liye soch lijiye. Meri zindagi aap barbad kar chuki hain. Apne bete ki mat kijiye. Wo mithi se pyar karta hai. Let him be happy. “she said.

Asha was silent. Ruhana moved towards Vandana…

“Main nahi jaanti kya sahi hai aur kya galat…. Lekin main ye bojh wala rishta aur nahi nibha sakti, Dadi. Vineet Mithi se pyar karta hai. Please usey is ghar mein le aaiye. “ she said.

Vandana looked at her…. “aisa hi hoga. “ she said.

Ruhana smiled tearily. At the same time, vineet entered in. Ruhana looked at him and opened up the wedding chain she was still wearing. She kept it back in his hand…

“ye meri nahi mithi ki amanat hai. Acha laga jaan ke ki tum kisi se toh sachcha pyar karte ho. Khayal rakhna uska. Chalti hoon. “ she said and left the house.

Few days later…

Mithi was completely fine.. As promised to Ruhana, vandana brought Mithi home as their daughter - in-law. She turned to Asha…

“Bahu tumhare aashirwad ki raah dekh rahi hai. Kayi baar bachche hume sahi raasta dikha dete hain. Jaise Ruhana ne hume dikhaya. Tumhe shukriya bolna chahiye usey. Dekho tumhara beta  kitna khush hai! Jaiye unke pyar pe apne aashirwad ki muhar laga dijiye. “ she said.

Asha looked at her son. He was happy. Even Mithi was. Manvi was chatting happily with Mithi. Asha went to them and pulled both Vineet and Mithi in a hug. They smiled and took her blessings. A small function was arranged for Mithi’s homecoming.

Vineet's room

Vineet entered inside the room after disconnecting the call. He saw Mithi standing near the window.

He went to her and hugged her. She smiled…

“fursat mil gayi? “ she asked.

He smiled as he kissed on her shoulder… “tumhare liye toh Humesha fursat hai. “ he said.

“jab mumbai jayenge na tab bataungi tumhe. Kitni fursat hoti hai tumhe. “she said turning to him.

“kya bataogi tum? “he said pulling her closer.

She knew what he was upto, and so she pushed her and ran towards the other side of the bed. Vineet followed her, but she was quick enough to climb up the bed. But he turned to the other side and caught her, leading them to fell on the bed.

They burst out into laughter. Vineet was over her and she had her hands round his neck. He  settled the strands of her hair behind her ears and pecked a kiss on her forehead. She smiled…

“I'm so happy Vineet. Hum sath hain aur is baar Maa ka aashirwad bhi. “she said.

Vineet smiled as he remembered what led to this happy moment of his life. His trance was broken when mithi cupped his face closer to herself. He glanced at her and sealed her lips with his. She was surprised at this sudden act of his but started responding. She entangled her fingers in his hair as he deepened the kiss by sucking her lower lip, making an entry in her mouth.

After a long, passionate kiss, he parted from her and glanced at her. She blushed and turned her face to the other side. A naughty smirk covered her face.

She looked at him with questioning gazes while he started tickling her while placing soft kisses around her belly button. She chuckled with his touch and they dived into their love land.

Vineet and Mithi United.
Did Ruhana forgive Vineet?
