Ram takes Ishaan from hospital to home.

Ram (thinking): - Juhi is correct, it's all my fault. I should have taken care of my kids instead of going behind Priya. What am I doing? Priya left us for another man but still I am giving importance to her. I shouldn't have done this, what is happening to me? She still has the same effect on me when I am around her. My heart takes precedence over my mind. I can't think straight when I am with her. I have to take a right decision otherwise my kids will be affected badly too.

First of all I should apologise Juhi, she is looking after my kids like a mother and being a father I could not take care of them properly. I am not giving her any previlages, am I doing any injustice to Juhi? Priya is my bitter past, she broke my trust; she made fun of my love and cheated on me. Should I forget Priya and move on in my life like she did? Oh god! I cannot even think of moving on with anyone.

Other side, Priya POV:
What is going on in my life? Ram is angry with me but at least he is in front of me. He is my man, I love him so much but I cannot tell him the truth. I never wanted to separate myself from my love but I was forced to do it. It is true that I never tried to contact Ram as I was scared to see Ram and my kids in danger. I can't risk their life as their safety and well being is my utmost priority.

Does Ram really move on with Juhi? By the way who is this Juhi? Why am I getting this feeling that Ram is lying to me because whenever I look into his eyes, I can only see love for me. Though he illtreat me, I can understand his emotions which he is covering under name of hate.

Ram definitely should know about Riya's identity. All I need is time to disclose the matter to him calmly. Ram will take away Riya from me if he gets to know the truth. I cannot afford to loose my daughter too. She then remembers the dreadful day that changed her entire life upside down.

Flashback:
Priya's life was filled with happiness and love. Ram and Priya were like made for each other and they were blessed with twin boys. But suddenly one day Priya was kidnapped by few goons. She begged them to free her instead of showing any mercy they covered her mouth, tied her to the chair and locked her in the room.
She believed that Ram will come to save her but soon she realised it was near to impossible. She was worried about her sons, only a mother can feel the pain of separation with kids. Priya burst into tears hoped Ram would come as her savior. Alas! It did not happen and she was away from her husband and sons on the very same day.
 
Days passed and kidnappers released her threatening her to not to meet her family ever again otherwise she will have no one alive in her family.
Even the smallest of the thing can help those in dire need and she comes to know that she was pregnant with Riya. When she was all alone in her life, this news gives her reason to live. Priya wanted to convey this good news to Ram but then she stopped remembering the kidnapper's warning.
 
After few months,
Priya took her bundle of happiness in hands and Riya resembles her father. Priya has no one around her to take care except Ved. Circumstances have made both of them meet in hospital where Priya used to come for checkup and Ved used to come with her wife for checkup. Priya, Ved and Ved's wife Ritu have become friends and they used to spend time together. Ritu had got pregnant after so many treatments as she had some major issues to become a mother. She was so desparate to have a child.

Destiny had other plans, Ritu had delivered a baby boy and soon he died with in no time due to the complications in delivery. From that day itself Ritu has become mentally unstable and Ved has to admit her in the mental hospital for her treatment. Priya can understand Ved and Ritu's pain. Priya and Ved used to take Krishna and Ritu to the mental hospital. Both were sailing on the same boat.
They happened to share personal things and became good friends in no time. Ved used to help her in every matter. Infact, when Riya was born, he was the one who hold Riya first. He used to take care of Riya like his own child. He gradually came out of depression of his child death spending time with Riya.
 
Priya comes out from memory lane.
 
In Kapoor Mansion,
Ram reached home carrying Ishaan in his arms. After having dinner, he put Ishaan and Ayaan to sleep. He remembers the day when he saw Priya for the last time.
 
Flashback
Priya: - Ram today I am planning to go out with Neha for shopping.
Ram: - And you know that I will not allow you to go.
Priya: - I am not going alone, Neha is coming with me
Ram: - No you are not going anywhere.
 
Priya: - Please Ram, I am bored at home. I will go out when Ayaan and Ishaan sleeps and will be back in 2 hours. Ram encircle by her waist and tugs towards him. So madam is feeling bored...no issues. Today I will solve this problem too.... He slightly kisses on her lips.
 
Priya: - You know what you are only one track minded, always thinks about the same thing.
Ram: - What should I do? You are the reason for it. I can't help.
Priya: - Don't change the subject. I feel like I lost my freedom completely after marriage.

Ram: - What???
Priya: - Yes, true. I used to live my life on my terms. You don't let me go anywhere alone. I feel so frustrated some times.

Ram tighten his grip around her and said "Before marriage you are Priya Sharma and now, you are Mrs Priya Ram Kapoor. You cannot go like this".
Priya grabs his collar and said "Please darling...you are my sweet hubby...right. I promise I will be back in two hours."
Ram: - Ok baba...But call me before you go.

Priya jumps in happiness and hugs him tightly and kiss him on his cheeks.
Ram: - Here. Says pointing his lips.
Priya (happily): - Yess.... saying this she kisses his lips.
Ram comes out from his trances. Priya wanted freedom...freedom from me and kids.

Priya did not return after that day. When I asked Neha, she said she did not meet Priya. Why did I allow her to go alone? I tried every possible way to trace her down but everything gets over when I received a hand written letter from Priya stating she is leaving and there is no need to find her as she is not gonna return and left with another man. She did not even mention about Ayaan and Ishaan.

I could not believe Priya left me for another man, when I see her with Ved it kills me to the core.
 
The humiliation from the friends, from the society I faced I cannot forget that and the only person who stood with me at that time is Juhi, a common friend.
 
Juhi is correct I should start thinking about myself and my sons. Juhi who selflessly stood with me during my bad time, who love my sons endlessly.
 
She is the one who saw Priya with one man. In a CCTV footage I saw Priya in a shopping mall with a male; his back is showing in the footage he must be Ved and Priya is smiling and talking to him and then she disappeared with that man. I could sense their proximity is definitely is much more than friends have.
 
Juhi used to come home regularly to spend time with Ayaan and Ishaan who are uncontrolled by me at times and needed a mother figure. She was the one who helped me to come out of the depression.

Ram comes out from his flashback. He covered kids with quilt and comes out of the room.
 
He stands at the entrance of Juhi room. He heaves a deep breath and knocked the door. Getting no response, he again knocks the door and slowly open the door.

He saw room's lights were off and the only light shining on the room was the moonlight. Juhi is standing near the window looking outside. He goes near her and stand beside him. Juhi is well aware of his presence.
Ram: - I am sorry Juhi.

Juhi said nothing and wipe her tears.
Ram then turn her towards him and take her both hands in his.
Ram: - Juhi I am sorry.... he paused and closed his eyes and then slowly open his eyes and looks at her. I am really sorry for my behavior I should not have yelled at you. You are the one taking care of Ishaan and Ayaan.
Juhi looks at him and said its okay Ram.
Ram: - Thank you. Bye Good night.
 
In the midnight,
Ram lay on the bed and closed his eyes to sleep but Priya, her daughter Riya, is keep hovering in front of his eyes.
Riya...her face, smile, her touch everything he feel like she is belonging to him.
He came out from sleep and sat on the bed.

Ram (to himself): - Why I am thinking of Riya? Why am I feeling so fragile infront of Priya and Riya. I feel something whenever I see Riya.
He remembers how he instantly connected with Riya.

Ram: - Something is there which Priya trying to hide from me. Why do I have a soft corner about Riya? When Priya is happy with Ved then why did she allow me to come near her again? If she left me for Ved then what is going on now? I need to control myself and I need clarifications from her. This time Priya has to speak up and tell me her intensions. Time has come to take a wise decision to sort the life.
