Recap: Myra is shattered after Krish propose to Roshni. Keshav get her an opportunity to start with her career.

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

Vasundra and Rajan sat on either side of Myra and held her hand giving a squeeze. Naina who arrived the moment Keshav left was burning in rage and since Vasundra had explained her to hold her anger she was controlling her inner beast from thrashing Krish. At the moment her friend alone mattered to her and she would stand by her.

Naina: Myra, lets go shopping and buy something you like. Do you hear me ? We will buy something you like and please dump the clothes from your wardrobe. From now you will wear clothes to your wish. If our Myra likes simple and girly clothes then we will but that only. And for tomorrow we will buy a beautiful salwar or saree or half saree.

Myra nodded her head and Naina cursed Krish in her mind. Everytime Myra would choose a saree, lehenga or salwar Krish would stop her and impose his choice of clothes on her. Over years Myra's wardrobe was filled with the clothes she only hated.

Vasundra: I will come with you and lets have a girls day out. Shopping, lunch, ice cream and

Rajan: dinner at home. I will cook all your favourite and movie night.

Naina: Yes, the plan sounds good.

Myra's mobile blared with call from an unknown number and she answered guessing it should be from Keshav's friend. A few minutes later she cut the call and sat next to Naina.

Myra: The Principal's call. He said he wanted us at Ooty the day after tomorrow and he would also send us the tickets. He has booked a cottage close by the school for our stay so it doesn't matter if go there was a family.

Rajan: That is really good. How about we all go and I will apply leave for a month.

Myra: Appa, no. Don't risk your job. You never applied leave for more than two days all these years.

Rajan: My job or anything is not important to me more than my daughter. Lets do the packing cause we don't have time. Thanks to Keshav, he marked every second of our calendar busy for the next one month.

Keshav entered his home and was welcomed by a eerie silence. He knocked on the door of his parent's room and Vasundra opened it with a scowl expecting it to be Krish but on seeing Keshav she smiled at him.

Archana: finally you got time for your family.

Keshav: I m sorry maa. Actually I had a meeting and it was good I attended it. I got passes for music show and I just gave it to Myra since she loves singing and music shows but they all looked very aloof.

Archana: Oh, your brother gave us a shock that we are yet to come out of it.

Keshav: What happened ?

Archana: We planned for his birthday but he surprised us by proposing Roshni for marriage and she said yes. Seems like they have been in a relationship for two years and yesterday he proposed for marriage. Your uncle, aunty too knew about this.

Keshav: Any problem in that ? I mean apart from he hid from us all ?

Archana Mv: Myra is not ready to reveal to anyone so I m sorry for hiding this from you too Keshav.

Archana: No problem, it is just shocking and I felt like he betrayed me. We were like friends to him and more than us he hid that from Myra too. They both were together like.. what should I say.. he hid from her too. So it is very hard to act immediately.

Keshav: I can understand but if he wanted to get married to Roshni then we should do that. It may not be immediately but give your consent and may be after few months we can get him married that is only if he is very sure of his decision.

Archana nodded her head and Keshav knocked the door of Krish's room. Krish opened the door groggily and instantly steadied himself on seeing Keshav. The brothers hugged each others and Keshav presented him a watch that Krish wanted for a long time.

Keshav: Krish, I spoke to maa. Are you sure of your decision ? Somethings in life doesn't give a second chance so are you sure Roshni is the one for you ?

Krish: Yes bro, I m very sure.

Keshav: You called often to rant about what is happening at home and when you needed something then why didn't you tell me that you were in love with Roshni ? You could have made this easier for everyone if you informed me. Things would have been different. What now ?

Krish: Amma and appa wanted me gone for some days so I m planning to work from Bangalore for a month. Initially I planned to return Bangalore with Roshni and uncle, aunt but amma stopped me so they left alone in the morning.

Keshav: That will not be necessary. Leaving at this time will drift you and our parents so stay here with them and things will happen like the way you wanted. Do you get me ?

Krish: Yes bro and I m sorry.

Keshav: I m not the person who deserved your sorry Krish and sometimes sorry is just a plain word for the damage we do the hearts of the people who love us truly.

Krish: Amma said she has forgiven me bro. She wanted time to forget everything.

Keshav: Only if you knew Krish. Now get ready and go to Bangalore, meet Roshni and give her the comfort that everything will be ok and return after two days.

Krish: How long are you staying bro ?

Keshav: I will leave in the evening.

Krish hummed and Keshav returned to his room.

At Myra's home she and Naina were in her room. Myra was laid on the bed with her head on Naina's lap.

Myra: What will I do Naina ? I will have to see them all the time if they decide to get married anytime soon. I don't think I m strong to witness their PDA. Today morning I saw him hugging her, he kissed her. How come he didn't feel anything for me ?

Naina: Sorry to say Myra but I don't think he even treated you as his best friend. Just screaming thousand times that you are his best friend doesn't mean he actually treated you like that. Best friends share everything with each other, even things they couldn't share with family. He knew you hate Roshni still he fell in love with her or atleast he could have confessed to you sooner. what is the purpose in hiding when he has to reveal it one day ?

Myra: You were right about one thing Naina. I should have taken your advice serious and confessed my love sooner.

Naina: Do you think he would have not realized your love when everyone else could see it ?

Myra: I m going mad Naina. Really I feel like lost myself.

Naina: No, we are here for you and also Mr. hunk has got everything that will relax you at this time. I don't know why you fell for Krish instead of Mr. hunk.

Myra: Naina, please.

Naina: Alright get ready. Lets go shopping.

Myra moved to the window and saw Krish leaving in his bike. She excused from Naina and rushed to Archana's home calling for her. Hearing Myra's voice Archana scuttled to her and embraced her tightly.

Archana: I m sorry Myra. I m so sorry. Please forgive me.

Myra: Aunty, please don't say such words. No one is at fault here except me. Now, I came here on purpose. Get ready quickly, we are going shopping.

Archana: Really ? I thought you will all hate me and Madan.

Vasundra who had followed Myra, slapped Archana's back gently.

Vasundra: You treated Myra as your own daughter and our friendship is true and nothing will break us apart. Now get ready quickly. Inform Madan brother that we will return for dinner. Let him join Rajan to cook dinner.

Archana hugged both Myra and Vasundra and Vasundra explained everything Keshav did for Myra. They parted hearing a throat clearing. Keshav stood leaning on the wall with his hands folded to his chest.

Keshav: What is the special occasion that I m missing ? You three are pouring out so much love now so tell me what is it.

Archana: Vasundra was saying that you turned out to be my enemy and sending the whole family to Ooty for a month. I have never lived without seeing Myra and Vasu for more than two days.

Keshav: If that is the problem you can meet them on weekends with appa. I will book tickets for you.

Archana: No, let her concentrate on her work for sometime. I will talk to them on video call everyday.

Myra: I will come to fight you even if you fail to talk to me even a day.

Archana: You are my baby daughter Myra.

Archana was about to cry but Myra squeezed her hand gesturing Keshav who was still rooted in his place looking at them.

Keshav: Alright get ready and I will drop you wherever you want before I go look after my work.

Myra: No problem uncle, we will book a cab.

Keshav: Let me be the driver then, pay me with an ice cream when you find time from your busy schedule. Get ready now.

He returned to his room and the ladies left on their ways to get ready. An hour later Keshav stopped the car before a mall and Myra got down from the passenger and Vasundra, Archana and Naina from the back seat. They were about to leave when Keshav called Myra stopping her.

Keshav: Are you ok little one ? You haven't spoken a word from the moment we started from home and that is literally not the Myra we all know.

Myra: I m fine just nervous about taking up the new responsibility. I will be fine and thanks for asking.

Keshav: You are very strong butterfly and don't let anything get away your original self. I will be leaving and call me anytime if you need my help with anything.

Myra: Thank you ketchup.

She caught up with the ladies and they started shopping with artificial jewellery. Myra was just looking at random pieces, picking and dropping them back. One could say for sure that she was lost in thoughts and completely aloof. The ladies watched Myra and felt it would be too much to force her to reality and behave as if everything was normal so they continued along selecting some necklaces, trying take her feedback on the jewel they chose.

Archana noticed Myra looking at the couples walking hand in hand and she too felt lost her mind completely.

Naina: Myra, shall we have some food and then we shall buy some sarees for all of us. What say ?

Myra just nodded her head and they headed to the food court. Everytime they visited the mall Myra would run to the counter to buy food but right now she got settled looking at distant. Naina convinced Archana and Vasundra to be seated and she carried on to buy food.

Myra denied that she wasn't feeling hungry but Vasundra forced her to eat. She ate only few morsels and her gaze fell on a couple. The man was feeding ice cream to his woman. She felt her throat turning sore and pained to swallow the morsel in her mouth. She spit the food in a tissue paper and excused to use the washroom.

She entered the lavatory and broke into silent cries closing her mouth with her palm. A few minutes later hearing the voices of Vasundra, Archana and Naina she quickly wiped her face and walked out passing a smile to them but just a look at her puffed eyes they knew the reality so instead of questioning her they walked out holding her hand.

They entered a saree shop and this time Naina tried to keep her involved in a choosing a saree for all of them. Myra too felt bad for reflecting her mood on everyone so she was trying very hard to keep up with them.

Myra: Naina, let me see if I could get a saree in blue color in the other section.

Naina: I will come with you.

They both turned to leave but stopped when they saw Krish and Roshni selecting sarees. Krish was placing the saree on her shoulder and they were in their own bubble to see rest of the people around them. On noticing Naina and Myra still rooted Vasundra and Archana too turned to them but were shocked to see the couple.

Myra walked out of the store without a word and Archana took a step towards him but Vasundra stopper her and they ran out to follow Myra. They were calling Myra but she never stopped and just rushed out of the mall.

Archana and Vasundra caught up with Myra who was sobbing into Naina's embrace. Vasundra booked a cab and none of them spoke until they reached home. Myra crashed into her bed and was crying inspite of the ache in her chest and abdomen due to continuous crying.

Whereas Archana was in complete alpha mode to even kill her son and stormed to her home.
