Ira's pov -

I released Mum and said, "Now you tell me what are you doing here? I mean are you okay ??"

"Please be strong, actually I am suffering through leukemia at the last stage." Mum's reply gave me a huge shock.

"M-- m-- Mum. Are you sure ?? What are you saying ??? How could you say this ????" I got angry.

"I am telling the truth. I wanna stay with you in the last days of my life." Mum said.

"Please stop it, Mum." I stand up and my rib bone gives me so much pain. I held my pained area and said, "Uuh." Mum and Aayu both hold me.

"What happened to you ?" Mum asked.

"Ira fell on the chair's handle and fractured on rib bones," Aayu said. I am still holding my lower chest. Mum starts crying.

"I am fine, Mum," I said in a cracking voice. Aayu made me sit beside Mum and said, "I am calling Sana to talk with the doctor here. Then we will take Mum home. Sana will take care of Mum. What say ?" I nodded and said, "Come to me." Aayu comes to me. I put my arm around Aayu's waist and said, "Mum, this is Aayana and I love her. She is the love of my life." When I said this Aayu looked at me with surprised eyes.

"I know." Mum's reply shocked both of us.

"You know how?" I asked.

"I saw both of you that day when you went to a movie," Mum said.

"What !! You didn't call me !!!" I said.

"I didn't call you because That day I was informed that I am at the last stage. So, I was confused as to whether I should tell you or not." Mum said.

"I am so sorry, Mum. I wasn't there for you. But you still look the same as 16 years ago. Mum, I will talk to Sana; she is the best. I am sure she will find some way to recover you. I can't lose you, Mum." I couldn't control myself and just cried.

"I talked with many doctors. Nobody responded very well. So there is no hope. They told me the maximum I can survive is for 2 months. Sorry Iru, I left you. The day I saw you on TV that you are a business tycoon. I feel so proud of you. But I didn't have the courage to meet you as I left you." Mum said.

I just hugged her and said, "I just got you. I can't afford to lose you, Mum. I will die. Till a few hours ago I thought that I would stay with you the rest of my life. But you just gave me this news. Now tell me what should I do ?? Should I be happy that I met with my mum after 16 years or Should I be sad that I am going to lose you very soon? Why does God do this with me ??!!"

"I am sorry. I snatched your mum from you." Mum said.

"No mum, you didn't have any choice. Okay, leave this sad talk. You are with me, that is enough. We will face the rest together." I said. Then Mum calls Aayu to her by hand. Aayu sits on the opposite side of the bed as I am using the other side. Aayu's bandage is showing through the collar of the tops. Mum asked me, "Don't you take care of her ??"

"What !! What did I do ??" I asked in confusion.

"Why is she with a bandage ?? That's why I said this." Mum said and smiled.

"She is such a caring person, Mum. It's just... She wasn't with me at that time. I know if she was with me, this wouldn't have happened." Aayu's lines made me emotional. How much Aayu trusts me...

"That's good. Thanks for coming into my Iru's life. May God give you all the happiness." Mum said.

"Thanks to you for bringing Iru into this world. We missed you a lot. Is there anything you wanna share with us ?? Because your eyes are saying something." Aayu said. Then I look at Mum.

"Yeah, I wanna tell you something but will say later. Now take me home. I am getting bored here." Mum said and we both nodded. I leave the room.

I talked with the doctor and thankfully he knows Sana. Then I talk with Sana about everything, then Sana talks with the doctor. He gives me all the paper and discharges Mum. Finally, I can take Mum home.

I return to the cabin and the view gives me huge pleasure. Mum and Aayu are hugging each other. Wow, the best thing ever.

Aayana's pov -

Iru left the room to talk with the doctor. Then Mum held my hand and said, "Will you be able to stay in this relationship ??" Mum's question hits my reality.

"Mum, I really love Iru." I just said this, I couldn't say more.

"I know that I am just concerned about both of you. I know how it hurts when you get apart from that person whom you loved the most in this world. I can't see both of my children suffer through heartbreak." Mum said. It makes me so happy that she considers me as Iru.

"I will always try my best to be with her," I said.

"Please don't. That will hurt you more." Mum said.

"What do you mean, Mum?" I asked.

"It hurts when you try but fail," Mum replied.

"That means you are sure that we are not gonna be together ??" I asked again and my eyes got teary.

"I am just showing you the reality, my child. I don't have any intention to hurt you. I know I can share this with you. Iru won't understand me. She is like me and I know how I am." Mum was saying.

"I won't be able to live without her," I said.

"May God give you that permission. May this society accept you. This is the only prayer I will do till my last breath." Mum said.

"Please don't say this. Iru really loves you. It will be tough for her again to lose you. Please be brave. If you want, your body will respond better." I said this and Mum pulled her to me. We hug each other. Mum's heart is the same as Iru's.

"Hey, what is going on without me ??" Iru said and both of us broke our hug and looked at her. By seeing our faces Iru's smile faded away and she again asked, "What happened? Is everything fine ?"

"Yeah fine. It's a secret between us. Why should we share ??" Mum said.

"Oh ho. I am a stranger !! Okay, I am happy with that also if you both are happy. Aayu, I called Aunty and said that you are gonna be late as we found Mum. I will drop you at home after we take Mum home. Is that fine ??" Iru said.

"I don't wanna go home," I said.

"Baby, we just got home today. How can I keep you with me ?? Uncle and Aunty also wanna be with you, right? Don't worry if it is late, I will drop you. Okay ?? Now let's go." Iru said and I nodded. Then Iru sat beside Mum and said, "Thanks for accepting Aayu. Thanks a lot."

Thanks to God.

We found Mum.

More than that Mum accepts me.
