Recap: Roshni's secrets are out and Keshav take help with Inspector to arrest her.

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

Krish and Naina were shocked hearing about Keshav from Varun. Krish gulped and scooted to the edge of the seat while Naina was beyond shock and saw Myra sitting without any reaction.

Keshav: Varun, you may leave and I want her under custody at the earliest. 

Varun hummed and left from there. Krish and Naina looked at each other astound.

Krish: Why didn't you let us know about your job ? We thought you were working in the software company which you joined after college.

Keshav: I didn't want my family to be under risk because of my job. Now shall we start the next enquiry session ? My wife deserves explanations for a lot of things you have done.

Krish: Myra, I m really sorry. Everything I said that day was true except for the final part. I hurt you a lot unintentionally but now I have realized my mistakes and I m repenting for it. Please forgive me.

Myra: I forgive you but I will never forget what you did. You could have handled in better way and why should I have suffered so much because of your infatuation, jealousy and possessivenes ? I m not a person to hold grudges but we can never get back like old days. Lets live our life in our ways.

Naina: Myra, please give him a chance. All these days he has done nothing but crying over your lost friendship. He really miss you and did everything only for you.

Myra: Easy to be said than done my dear friend. Let me ask you something, do you have anything to confess to me ?

Naina: No Myra, we confessed everything to you ?

Keshav: What about your marriage ? Why did you get married ? Don't tell me all those love story because by now you should have guessed what I m capable of.

Naina: We don't love each other. The day when Myra went missing I found Krish in a park. He was crying and later he confessed everything when I confronted him. My parents were worried that I m not married and my mother was forcing me to marry her nephew. We got married to solve all the problems and help each other.

Myra: You got married to him to escape the arranged marriage and to save me ? Good, I m so happy to have a friend like you. Let me tell you something that happened in mine and Ketchup's life. We both have been in love with each other for years but our stupidity failed us to realize that and now after all these years we have realized and confessed our love. 

Keshav: Let bygones be bygones and don't let whatever you both did and happened so far ruin your present and future. Transparency is much needed in a relationship and I think you both are matured enough to know the meaning of marriage and relationships. 

Myra: Do you have anything to confess now ? May be think over and in the mean time I will check on Shishimaru. Ketchup can you order food for us. I m hungry and couldn't eat since Varun was in a hurry to get me here.

Myra walked over to the backyard and Keshav followed her placing order for food. Shishimaru barked and wagged its tail looking at Myra and Keshav. Myra carried him in his arms and he started licking her face.

Keshav leaned on the wall and was recording Myra and Shishimaru's moments.

Myra: Ketchup, Will it be ok for you if I make a decision for our life ?

Keshav: Ofcourse little one, You are entitled to decide anything for our life. Even I have something to discuss with you but we shall talk about that later when we are alone.

Myra: Alone ? What is running in that pervert mind of yours ?

Keshav: Just thinking if I should use my tie instead of belt this time. What do you say ?

Myra laid Shishimaru in his basket and ambled to Keshav and pinched his arm faking a glare.

Keshav: Is that a yes Mrs. Keshav ?

Myra: Lets get inside and see what your brother and my friend are upto now.

Keshav and Myra sat opposite to Krish and Naina. Keshav was holding Myra's hand on his thigh and playing with her fingers as he watched Krish.

Krish: I have confessed everything bro. 

Keshav: Now that everything is fixed what have you both thought about your marriage ? You might have married for convenience but it cannnot continue the same for the rest of your life. Both of you will need a partner to support you in every way so where do you see yourself in the future ?

Krish: I have suffered enough and I m not ready for a relationship now but that doesn't mean I will abandon Naina. The words love and friendship had caused enough damage in all our life and that is because of me so I m not ready to tie her in the name of these relationships but she will be my responsibility. I m ready to give a chance to this marriage if she is ready but I need some time. I m beyond broken and honestly I need help to heal myself so rest is her choice. I will respect her decision and abide with it.

Myra: I have been very transparent with you Naina. I have shared everything with you and if you remember back then I confessed that whatever I felt in the past was just an illusion. It was Ketchup I have been love from the beginning. Wasn't it you who adviced me to not delay on confessing my heart then what happened to you ? One life Naina, don't regret it later. I feel this is too late for you too. I m sorry for the damage I caused in your life. Please forgive me.

Keshav: People who are matured enough and married for years doesn't hold a stable married life these days. We see so many couples walking out of marriage just like that. Back then you three were young to decide your future. Its normal for youngsters to have feelings or crush when you were in school, in college but Myra and Naina, you both were matured enough to not impose your feelings on the person rather you choose to hurt yourself. It might be late but not too late when things are getting clear. Nobody is hurting other's feeling here. Everything is falling into place. Do hold back any grudges about the feelings or your friendship. Your friendship was true and you all cared truly for each other and never doubt that. 

Naina: You hacked my mobile ?

Keshav: I don't regret it. Its my duty and happened to know your history.

Krish: What is it Naina ? I don't want anymore problems because of all these hide and seek games. We all suffered enough for this life.

Naina: It was in the past Krish. I had a crush on you.. fuck it.. I liked you very much but I let go of my feelings when I knew Myra was in love with you which obviously was a misunderstanding we got to know now. Later when Myra suffered in her life I started hating you but when her hunk, sorry I mean your brother got married to Myra I let go of all the grudges against you because I only wanted Myra to be happy. Few days later Myra realized her true love but that didn't change anything in me because you were engaged to Roshni.

Myra: Why didn't you agree to any potential groom your parents arranged for you ?

Keshav: I think you should have a talk in private about this.

Keshav held Myra's hand and they entered his study. Naina was fidgeting with her fingers and Krish was still in a shock hearing her words. 

Krish: Why didn't you agree to any of the proposal ?

Naina: I thought I was over you years ago but I was wrong. Like how the destiny brought Myra and your brother together even after years, my destiny tied me with you but that doesn't mean I m forcing you into this marriage or I used you when you were in critical situation. I agreed to marry you only to solve the problem and save Myra so ignore anything I said now and I will agree to any of your decision. 

Krish: Do you love me Naina ? I m not a good person, I have caused problems in all our life. I have hurted everyone who loved me. 

Naina: Love doesn't see good or bad and the heart only knows to fall harder for someone when our mind opposes it. Yes you caused so much problem and hurt everyone, even I hated you for that but beyond all that I liked and admired the friendship you and Myra shared. You might have been jealous and possessive of her but amidst that there was a true care behind that and that is why Myra couldn't hate you compeletly and wanted to hear from you the reason behind your that stunt. If you could care and feel so much jealous and possessive of your friend then I m sure you will the best partner to your wife. You will care her the most, you will love her beyond everything in this world.

Krish wiped the tears and held Naina's hand.

Krish: I m sorry, I thought you were the only person I haven't hurted but seems you were the one I hurt the most by now. 

Naina: No, I never let anyone know about what I felt for you. Even today they got to know only because your brother hacked my mobile. 

Krish: You know what I m today right ? I .. I m in pieces Naina, Even if I want to reciprocate, I will only fail you. I lost hope in me and my life. 

Naina: Let me revive your soul. 

Krish: What if I fail once again ? I will never forgive me for ruining your life.

Naina: Give me a chance and we shall start fresh, heal slowly, progress a little and build a future together, stronger and better for us.

Krish: Do you trust me that I will become a better person ?

Naina: Aren't you already a better person now ? You became a better person the moment you said that you weren't afraid of death and was ready to give your life for protecting the people around you and love you so I trust you and if you trust me too then give us chance else I won't force and we shall part ways.

Krish: Will you move on if I let you go ?

Naina: I would have done that long back if I could but seems like destiny has other plans for me.

Krish: Will you wait until I become the person who deserve you and your love ?

Naina: Only if you promise to not give up trying.

Krish: Promise, help me please. It hurts a lot Naina, I want to come out of this. Please help me.

Naina hugged him and Krish wrapped his arms around her and broke into tears.

Naina: We will fix appointment with a phscyiatrist and I will be with you in every step of building our future. 

Krish mumbled a thank you and Naina smiled patting his back. Keshav and Myra returned to the living and turned away on seeing Krish and Naina hugging each other. Without disturbing they walked out and sat on the porch with Myra leaning on his shoulder waiting for the food to be delivered.

A few minutes later they heard footsteps and saw Krish and Naina at the threshold.

Myra: So ?

Naina: We talked.

Myra: So ?

Naina: Myra please don't give me the taste of my own medicine now. I confessed everything and we will work on our relationship. He needs help and I will be there for him.

Krish: I'm sorry, I hurt you all. Please punish me until you feel to forgive me but please don't neglect me. I will be nothing without you all.

Myra: I m at fault in the first place. I m assumed everything and everyone acted based on my words. If I had been clear on whats happening around me then me and Ketchup would have been married long back, Naina would have not suffered with her one side feelings.

Krish: No, I m at fault. I should have been mature and not brought that bitch into our life but I didn't know she was planning all these and I fell into her trap.

Naina: It was my fault too, I should have been mature and analysed everything properly but I supported Myra and assumed things on my own too. So we all are at fault.

Keshav: No, you were all just teenagers and you can't expect to have a maturity of adult people. People at 26 find hard to name their feelings and need help and you were only 16. You three cared for each other and tried to not hurt each other but everything happened unintentionally so forget everything and focus on your life.

Myra: I m so happy for you Naina. Let this be the first and last time you hide something from me or sure I will abandon you in future. And me and Ketchup will always be available anytime to help and we are family so we help each other.

Naina: But please no more hacking our mobiles in the future.

Keshav: I can't assure you that. If I sense a problem then sure I will do my part to handle that.

Krish: But there won't be any problem in the future. Thank you bro, for everything you did to me. Anyone in your place would have hated me and threw me out of their life but you always backed me. Do you forgive me bro ? Do you forgive me Myra ?

Keshav: I forgive you for everything you did, even the reason behind hiding the blackmail but I won't forgive you for the way you tried to send me and Myra out of home.

Myra: Ketchup is right. We will be a family and care for each other but things will not be the same as before atleast not anytime soon.

Krish and Naina understood she needed time and decided to wait until she forgave Krish completely. Krish nodded his head and felt a bit relieved for clearing out everything.

Later once the food was delivered they finished eating and returned home. Madan and Archana were happy to see their children walking in all smiling and holding hands. She ward of the evil eyes to them and let them go to their respective rooms.
