The plane landed at Andheri Airport. Varsha and Rohit got their luggage back and this was the time for goodbye they guessed.
Asleep Sammy was carried on his shoulders by Rohit. Her father managed to manage a big suitcase in one hand and a sleepy baby in the other and also carry a bunny bag of Sammy.
Since Varsha had only one bag of hers she insisted on carrying Sammy on her shoulders till they are out because Rohit was whining about his paining hands a day before.

He's been carrying Sammy all the way, to relax his muscles and stretch a little the idea of Varsha carrying her for a few minutes wasn't bad. He soundly gave the tired angel on Varsha's hand, she made sure to not hurt her in any form and carry her comfortably. Samaria moved a little but adjusted herself back.
The little one seemed so tired due to constant travelling.

Rohit and Varsha made it out of the Airport. The security guards came behind at first Varsha didn't like their presence of following her out, but when she saw the paparazzi running towards them like a bunch of sheep, she could only thank the security to be present there. They were pushing the fans and paps out of their way. Varsha isn't used to such things. She doesn't like her privacy getting humiliated in such a way.

She's been a charm to the fake click baiters and reporters fast a few days since the rumours started. Through they slowed down a little but didn't completely stop.
Virat warned her to stay away from Rohit became of such a media presence who can degrade her image within a shrink of a second. Rohit and Varsha both were assigned the same flight to Mumbai and she does think it's her last meeting with them.

After settling down in Andheri Versova to her shared apartment with Virat. She has planned to search for a job and focus on her carrier which needs to be started from the initial base. Get her life straight and try to forget her past.

They reached out of the doors. There was already a Van for Rohit waiting out, Varsha didn't book any. It would be hard for her to catch one when these barking dogs (the author means paparazzi) keep following her shoving their cameras on her face.

Rohit insisted her to come with him in the van. He will drop her around and leave for Borivali.
Varsha was shy to accept it but there was no other option left.
The driver opened the doors of the car, First Rohit went in, then gently took Sammy from Varsha's hand and laid her down in between. The girl still managed to sleep even after the little chaos like the Thursday market took place.
After Varsha was in, the driver closed the door and ran the car leaving behind the smoke and Paparazzi.

Rohit got out as soon as Versova came by. Varsha took her bags from the trunk. They stood beside the car. Sammy was still in deep slumber. The night was silent and two-three dogs were Roaming around. No sign of a person. Versova is a mostly quiet area compared to a flooded area of people which is called as Andheri.

The city of Andheri was actually very Andheri. The dark gigantic sky and cold breeze gave goosebumps to Varsha.
There stood the two adults.

Rohit was awkwardly shifting his gaze here and there. He wanted to say a lot of things to Varsha, but his vocabulary formed weak at this moment.
Varsha broke the silence,

Varsha - thanks for trusting me with Sammy. I know it is very hard for you, she's a big responsibility I had a great time with you guys.

Rohit - I should be the one thanking you. You were a stress relief pill for me.

They both chuckled lightly at his comment. He isn't lying tho, she indeed reduced his stress.
Stress was the only problem to the outcomes of his bad performance but as soon as he got a stress relief pill aka Varsha, he instantly hit it big.

Varsha - I wish I could bid a goodbye to Sammy, I don't want to wake her up. Can you please give these to her.

She handed him a big well-decorated envelope. Rohit took it from her hands and examined it. He nodded his head. They both looked at Sammy, a big smile plastered on their face. She's such a pure and innocent soul. She deserves everything.

One night Varsha couldn't sleep with the thought of how much is it going to affect Sammy when she grows up and finds out the reality of her mom. It would be so disheartening. It would disturb her a lot. God, please give strength to this girl for what she has to face.

Varsha - by the way, she made this, that day when you left her in my room.

She handed out a white folded paper. Scribbles made by Sammy was included in the paper. It was the drawing Samaria made of father and daughter, while a father is protecting his child from the problems.

Rohit's eyes were filled with water and his lips curved into a proud smile. His cheeks puffed out when he saw that.
A picture said many words.

Varsha - Toh chalo fir, bye.

She gave a sad smile and went further to enter " Delusional heights ". Varsha stopped in her tracks after she was called out by Rohit.

He came forward and hugged her last.
They engulfed each other in a warm embrace. He muttered a soft thank you in her ears. She hummed in response. They let go of each other and both went different Directions.

The car took off to Borivalli and Varsha's steps to Versova.

They are going away from each other or coming close towards each other?
