Priya, Sudhir and Shipra are in a discussion.

"I am done, I don't want any support from anyone. I can take care of my kids and myself. That's enough for me." Said Priya strongly.

Priya continued, "I am happy that you have come here to see us. I am pleased to know that Ayesha and Karthik are settled in their own lives."

After a pause, Priya said, "Also, I was surprised to see that you have forgiven Ram. I am glad you guys were in touch with Peehu all the years but this will not change my decision."

"Priya beta, it's not like we have forgiven Ram so easily. He came to us in search of you after you left him, we blamed him like anything. We accused him of doing something wrong with you. It was tough for us to believe his words so we went to Pune where you used to stay and enquired the neighbourhood about your sudden disappearance. We even spoke to your maid and the people who were in your contact during that period. We found nothing against Ram, in fact we got to know that you both were in love and no one has any clue that you both were not married." Sudhir explained.

Shipra added, "Slowly, we understood Ram and his change in the behavior. He was not like before; he has changed for the good. After you left, we have been in touch with Ram and his family. They never stopped us from meeting Peehu. In fact, we are always there for Peehu as her grandparents. We missed you so much, Ram did not stop his search for you but no luck."

Shipra continued, "Don't spoil your life dwelling in your past. Forgive and move on in your life."

"Sorry Maa, it is not as easy as you think. I am happy with my life so please leave me alone. I do not want to discuss this anymore." Priya said unmovingly.

Sudhir and Shipra looked at each other helplessly.

"How long will you manage alone? You need a husband and your kids need a father." Shipra spoke after a while.

"I don't need anyone, Maa. Please don't pick up this topic ever again." Priya said strongly.

"If you have decided everything already then there is no point for us to stay here any longer." Shipra turned to pack her things swiftly.

Sudhir sighed deeply in helplessness.

"Maa, don't try to emotionally blackmail me." Priya said, holding her mother's arm to stop her.

Shipra withdrew her hand and looked straight into her eyes before saying, "Remember my words, whatever Ram or we did to you in the past is wrong but whatever you are doing now is blunder. I hope it will not be too late for you to realize that or else you will regret it for a lifetime."

On the other side,

Ram was in the play area with the kids. He was looking after the kids as they played with their friends in the colony.

People around there were looking at Ram and some of them have identified him as 'The Ram Kapoor', business tycoon.

A few of them said that they noticed Ram with Priya & her kids multiple times from the past few days. They were gossiping about what must be the relationship between Ram Kapoor & Priya.

Aryan came running to him, "Papa, I need water."

"Okay, let me go and get your water bottle. Do not go anywhere, play around here and be together." Saying this Ram moved towards the lift.

Ram does not have any idea what is going on in the house. Priya was in serious discussion with her parents about them.

Shipra and Sudhir were packing their luggage when Ram entered the flat and noticed them.

"Maa, Papa, where are you going?" Ram asked.

"We cannot stay here anymore, Ram. Priya has decided what to do with her life and we cannot support her in this." Shipra was angry and upset.

"We won't be able to tell the kids and upset them. Please handle them after we leave." Sudhir said to Ram.

"Please don't leave." Ram said, trying to stop them.

"It's good that we leave instead of troubling Priya." Shipra taunted.

"Priya, please stop them." Ram told Priya. Priya did not say anything.

While Shipra and Sudhir leave, Shipra turns to say, "Just remember, you are always welcome home no matter what." Shipra said, looking at Priya before they left.

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

"Priya, what's happening? What did you say to your parents?" Ram asked, throwing his hands in the air.

"This is all because of you. My life would have been better if we never met." Said Priya making Ram speechless.

"I gave birth to your child and that was supposed to be the end of our deal. I should not have get carried away with my emotions and moved on with you. That's the biggest mistake I have committed." Priya blurted out.

"What did you just say?" Ram narrowed his eyes.

"Please leave me alone. I don't want you in my life." Priya shouted and entered her room.

Ram was furious and followed her.

Grabbing her arm, Ram pinned her to the wall making her look into his eyes.

"Do you mean to say that it was all just a mere attraction between us? Whatever moments we shared; was it all because you got carried away with your emotions?" Ram squeezed her, making her wriggle.

"Answer ME!" Ram's voice was deep while his eyes were full of rage.

Priya couldn't make eye-contact with him.

"Let me go!" Priya withered under his cage.

"I won't, until you answer me." Ram declared.

Ram added, "How many times did you get carried over with your emotions? Was it the first time we made love or the second or the third... or...?" Ram gritted his teeth.

"Shut up, Ram!" Priya shouted.

"Why? Why should I shut up? I am just saying what you meant." Ram replied.

Ram was in his rage mode and completely hurt by Priya's words.

"Were you just involved with me to fulfill your physical needs?" Ram's words were too much to handle for her.

"Stop it, Ram!" Priya shut her eyes tightly, trying to control her emotions.

"Don't you love me at all?" Ram asked, his eyes were red with mixed emotions.

Priya turned her face away.

Ram squeezed her, making her wince. "I need answers."

Priya was not even ready to look at him.

Ram raised his hand and made her look at him holding her chin. "Listen to me carefully."

Priya had to look at him.

Ram continued, "Never ever talk about the deal again. I made mistakes, I realized, you forgave me and we both moved on together. So, stop blaming me for the same thing repeatedly." Ram stated clearly.

"I haven't separated Peehu from you after delivery. Did I?" Ram asked.

Priya was just gazing at him.

"Answer me, damn it." Said Ram, looking straight into her eyes.

"I don't want to hear anything." Priya muttered.

"If Peehu was the result of my deal, then what about Aryan & Amaira? Aren't they symbols of our Love?" Ram asked.

Priya couldn't answer.

"How could you think that I would have separated you from Peehu? I have said nonsense out of anger because Natasha attempted sucide. I was not able to handle the situation and I vented out my anger on you but I did not mean it. Just because of my words and you have seen the documents does not mean I would have taken Peehu away from you. I totally forgot about those deal documents; they were just mere waste papers for me." Ram said.

"You could have discussed it with me. You could have fought with me for keeping the papers safely. I would have shredded them away in front of you. But you chose to disappear without my knowledge." Ram shook her.

"If I were the ruthless Ram Kapoor, I would have taken away Aryan and Amaira too. I am not gonna do that because ... I LOVE YOU." Saying this Ram released his grip on her.

There was complete silence in the room for some time.

Moments later, Ram started, "I thought you would be happy seeing me and Peehu here. I thought I will win your heart again if I keep trying my best but no, I am wrong." Ram took a deep sigh. He wiped out the sweatbeads formed on his forehead.

"I am trying to come closer to you and you are running away from me. If that is what you want then fine. I cannot keep trying to convince you all the time and I am done asking for forgiveness." Ram had tears in his eyes.

"I promised your parents that I will not leave you alone ever again but I cannot keep up my promise since you are not happy with me. I cannot see you hurt because of me anymore." Ram muttered.

Ram continued, "The worst part is you never cared about Peehu's feelings, you left her alone that time and you are not even realizing the impact on her after all this. That time she did not know who her mother was but now she knows. You only want Aryan and Amaira with you but not Peehu."

"Never mind, I will make her understand." Ram replied.

"Give me time till today, I will pick up Peehu from the school directly and take her to the Kapoor Mansion tomorrow and you can pick up Aryan and Amaira and lead your life as you please." Ram mocked and left from there.

Tears were rushing down her cheeks as Priya stood speechless.
