[NOCOPY]Helloooow !!!

Yes, I am back after three days trip to Luxembourg and Dinant (Belgium).
I had a wonderful trip with my friends. I think the craziest I ever had. I really have crazy friends and  that's probably why I always write on trips and crazy friendships. It was a last minute plan trip to celebrate our brithdays that's why I couldn't update the next chapter even though I had it in draft. I am still quite busy now so I didn't actually have time to proofread. Forgive me for the grammatical errors. I am also not satisfied with the writing.

Harini is brought to the CN and she met Devyani and the rest of the family.
Unlike in the show, I wanted her to know about her mother and her condition before the wedding.
Her agreement was very important before the wedding.
I really wanted to show her closeness with Virat. She made even Samrat and Luna awkward but Luna is smart she knows how to handle a kid.
I wanted Devi Harini story a bit different. Harini wasn't sent to an orphanage otherwise it would have been impossible for me to write about Kaku and Ninad not being punished. Kaku didn't actually drug her own daughter it's just that she went through trauma.

I don't know if I did justice to Virat and Sai's emotions. They have started to question themselves.
The realization will happen soon. They need to tadpo a little.

The end of this chapter is dramatic but it's for a reason. We complain that Veeru in the show doesn't open his mouth unless things go out of hand and here I make Virat express openly which sometimes you don't like it. For example when he expresses what he doesn't like about Sai or when he scolds her for her behavior or even when he gets angry with Samrat. I like the muh pe bolne wala Virat of this story rather than the maun vrat Virat of the show.
Sorry if you don't like that but that's the Virat of this story.

Thanks for reading and sorry for the delay.

The pride and reputation that the Chavans were so keen on showing off came to an end. Samrat was embarrassed and angry. He had taken an oath to fight against the bad while his own wife and uncle were THE bad. Virat put the bags on the table, unaffected by the events going on.

« Aayi, I want you to prepare a special lunch. », Virat requested.
« Why ? Is someone coming today ? », Ashwini asked.
« Yes, someone very special. », Virat replied.
« A colleague or a friend ? », Ashwini asked.
« Someone more special than that not only for me but everyone. », Virat replied.

Before he could give any other explanation, Pulkit along with Harini entered the Chavan Niwas. Virat asked Karishma to get Devyani meanwhile he bent down on his knees to introduce himself to the little girl.

« I am Virat. », he said.
« I know who you are. », she replied surprising him. « You are the police uncle who came to my house. », she added which made him smile.

Bhavani was losing her patience and her interrogation started. Who was the girl ? What was going on ? What was Pulkit doing there ? Virat was amazed that his kaku didn’t guess it already that the little girl was her granddaughter. Karishma came back with Devyani.

« This police uncle and I want to introduce you someone. », Pulkit said to Harini. « You see the woman over there ? She is your Aayi. », Pulkit pointed his finger at Devyani.

All the Chavans were shocked. Ninad and Kaku looked at each other. They had completely forgotten that Devyani had a daughter. Harini was only a few months old when Bhavani, Ninad and Omkar forcefully brought Devyani back home separating her from her husband and daughter. Devyani begged for her daughter but Bhavani made up a story that Harini died in an accident. She didn’t want a granddaughter who had the blood of a servant. Depression, shock, medication all together made Devyani lose her mental stability. A younger Devyani holding her four months old daughter flashed in front of her eyes bringing back her lost memories.

« Harini… », Devyani almost whispered her name. She then looked at her mother angrily and approached her dangerously, « YOU SAID MY DAUGHTER WAS DEAD. »

She shoved Bhavani. Ninad caught her from falling. Bhavani was shocked while the rest of the house couldn’t understand anything.

« What ? », Virat asked shocked. « What did you do kaku ? »

Pulkit explained how the trio took Devyani away from them. When he got the false news about Devyani getting married to someone else he was heartbroken and angry too. He could understand her decision to leave him because of family pressure but he couldn’t understand how could she stay away from her daughter. Now that the truth came out he understood that Devyani was fooled the same way he was by the same people.

« You separated a mother from her daughter and then made her believe that her daughter was dead ? », Virat asked disgusted.
« We had to. », Ninad replied.
« Wooow !!! », Virat clapped. « You too baba ? », he asked then looked angrily at everyone, « Who else knew about it ? »
« No one else Veeru, no one else. No one can stoop as low as this trimurti gang. », Shivani said.
« That’s a lot kaku. You separated two lovers and a mother from her child. You also drugged your own daughter. Now I am wondering if you aren’t the one behind Pulkit’s kidnapping and the one requesting Pakhi to do things for you ? », Virat asked.
« Virat leave it. It’s not worth it. We have something else to do. », Pulkit said.

Pulkit walked up to Devyani and held her hand. He brought her to Harini to introduce her to their daughter. Harini hid behind him and held him tightly. Having a mother suddenly was too shocking for her. Pulkit moved her and told her that she didn’t have to be scared. Her mother will never harm her. She looked at Devyani reticent but Devyani hugged her tightly. After they broke the hug, Pulkit made Harini sit on the sofa and he sat next to her. He explained her mother's condition for which she has to be the big girl and accept her the way she was. As Harini looked a little unpleased Virat walked towards them.

« I am your mama and you are my niece. », he then introduced the rest of the members. « This is your Mohit mama and this is your Samrat mama. There you have my Aayi which is your Ashwini nani… »,
« Wow such a big family. I never had a family before. », Harini replied.
« But this big family is yours now. », Virat replied.
« Really Veeru mamu ? », she asked excitedly.

Everyone burst out laughing excepted Bhavani and Ninad.

« My twin. I also call your Veeru mamu as Veeru. », Shivani joined them and highfived with her.

Virat brought the bags from the table and gave them to Harini. She got happy seeing all the toys, dresses and chocolates. She hugged Virat and looked at Devyani. She wanted to accept her but she wasn’t ready yet. Pulkit and Virat understood and didn’t force her to accept Devyani.

« Harini, your Aayi and I are getting married again. She will start living with us after that. Do you have any problem ? », Pulkit informed his daughter.
« If she doesn’t bother me then I don’t have a problem. », she replied.

Pulkit, Virat and the rest of the Chavans were relieved. Ashwini, Shivani, Mansi and Sonali showered her with love then Ashwini and Karishma went to the kitchen to cook all the things she wanted to eat. Samrat and Mohit were happy to know that they had a niece. Samrat called Luna to inform her about his new happiness. Luna paid a visit to meet his niece. When he presented his best friend to her, she questioned « Is Moon your wife ? ». The situation was a little awkward for both but then Luna sulked and hit him.

« See, she is calling me Moon too because of you. », she said.
« Moon is called Moon. Do you want her to call you Chandni ? », he asked jokingly.
« Ahhh I give up. Your Samrat mama is mad. Don’t listen to him. Listen to me. I am Luna. », she talked to Harini.
« No don’t listen to her. », he signed her.
« Who wants this, listens to me. », Luna said taking out a little box from her pocket.
« This is bribing. Virat became the favorite mama by gifting so many gifts and now you too. », he sulked.
« How old are you both ? », Harini asked with seriousness making everyone laugh.

Virat was tossing and turning in his bed unable to fall asleep. Sai’s absence was making him restless. He wasn’t really used to spend the night without her. The only few times he did were during his missions and their fights. This time she was gone forever. He got up and walked up to the table were she used to study every night. He sat on the chair and still could feel her presence. Resting his head on the table, he recalled their fights, their teasing, their emotional and romantic moments. He lifted his head and got up. He visualized her in her beautiful red saree in her sleeveless blouse. She looked so beautiful. He then imagined her in her blue saree, the one he had gifted her on her birthday.

Virat left early in the morning. He reached DIG’s apartment and rang the bell. Sai opened the door and was surprised to see him. Both stared at each other for some time before he took the permission to enter. « No point. », she said but let him come in anyway.

« Please Sai, come back home. », he requested.
« I am a burden on you. You said that I am a nightmare. I give you tough time so why should I come back ? », she asked.
« We both do and say things we don’t really mean it. I was stressed, scared and tired. I didn’t mean what I said. I need you. », he said.
« You have hurt me alot, Virat Sir. I can’t forget what you did to me. I can’t return to someone who doesn’t respect me and manhandles me. », she explained.
« I know I was wrong but I didn’t have any other choice. You were so stubborn about reuniting Devi Tai with Pulkit that you didn’t have the patience to let me handle the matter. »,
« Please Virat Sir, let’s not be a burden on each other. We don’t understand each other and end up hurting one another. I was anyway going to leave the house after five years. It just happened earlier than planned. », she requested him.

She walked towards the door and opened it. She told him to leave. Devastated he left the place. Sai closed the door and let herself slip down to the floor in tears. Not returning with him was a tough and the right decision but it was hurting her.

« Sometimes in love you have to compromise, sacrifice, accept the things you don’t like, forgive and forget unless the mistake of the other one is too big. », Shivanya, the DIG’s daughter said.
« There is no love. », Sai got up wiping her tears away.
« These tears are for someone who just took your responsibility, ofcourse ? », Shivanya rolled her eyes.

Sai didn’t have any answer and went to her room. While putting her books in her bag, she recalled Shivanya’s words. Why was she so heartbroken ? Wasn’t it the best solution for both their mental peace. If it was the best solution then why was she crying ?

Virat was having a hard time to focus on his duty. He was completely heartbroken that because of others wrongdoings they were having misunderstandings. Her impulsiveness and his harsh actions made it worse. « Why are you feeling so bad when the deal between you two was for five years only ? If she has decided to leave before five years then what’s the big deal ? », he asked himself but he didn’t have any answer.


In the following days, the Chavan brothers were busy organizing their only sister’s wedding. She was happy that she got her husband back and that her presumed dead daughter was actually alive. Harini came to visit her new family a few times. She enjoyed the pampering from her uncles. Even though she spent the least time with Virat he was still her most favorite uncle. There was a special bond that the two had that no one had with her. Her « Veeru mamu this, Veeru mamu that… » was music to the ears. Whenever she was around him, she helped him forget his pain and he missed Sai a little less. Virat was silent with his kaku, his baba and his elder brother.

« You have to bail out Omkar and Patralekha. », Bhavani tried to convince him.
« I am not going to do anything. I can’t let them go scot free because they are my family. Be happy that I am not taking any action against you and baba because I don’t have any proof. But I don’t feel any respect for you anymore and maybe that’s the worst punishment you can ever get. », Virat replied.
« I agree that I shouldn’t have lied to Devi about her daughter but I was thinking only about the reputation of the Chavans. I didn’t drug her, believe me. », she explained.
« You maybe didn’t but you are responsible of her condition. You are a mother too. Can you imagine the pain one can go through after knowing that her daughter is no more ? You mentally tortured her. You made her lose her mind. You didn’t do anything to fix her because you knew she would go back to Pulkit once her senses back. », he replied.

Virat didn’t want to talk to her. He was already furious to know that his perfect family was actually not so perfect. He went to his room and opened the wardrobe to get his nightwear. His eyes fell on her red saree. He took it out and walked to the bed. Hugging the saree, he recalled that moment when the family teased them about Sai being pregnant when actually she was only sick.

« Get her back if you are missing her so much. », Samrat said from the other side of the door.
« You need anything ? », Virat asked standing up.
Samrat walked towards him, « We may have a few differences but we still care for each other. I know that you want her back. »
« I want her back or you want her back ? », Virat questioned.
« Get her back. », he patted him on the shoulder and left.

Virat put her saree back in the wardrobe and after changing went to bed. He couldn’t fall asleep. Hundreds questions were roaming in his head but he didn’t have the answers. And finally when he fell asleep he dreamed about her.
Samrat on the other hand called Sai and requested her to come back at least for Devyani’s wedding celebrations. Sai refused to come back as she wanted to move on but she wished the best for her.
The next day when Samrat explained Devyani that Sai refused to attend the functions, she was sad and blamed Virat.

« She ran away because of you. », she shoved Virat. « You don't deserve her. », she added.
« Devi Tai, leave it. No point telling him anything. His ego is bigger than everyone's happiness. », Samrat stopped Devyani.
« Woow Devi Tai you too. I understand Samrat's frustration towards me because nothing is like before between us but you ? Today when I need you, you are angry with me while I was the one who always stood by you. », Virat said with welled up eyes.
« Stop taking advantage of her mental condition. Learn to accept and take responsibility of your mistakes. », Samrat stopped Virat.
« It's between me and my sister. I would like you to stay away. And what mental condition are you talking about ? What did you do to fix her problems ? So far you never cared about her. Who is using whom, tell me ? », Virat lashed out.
« Stop fighting you two. », Devyani cried.
« Samrat dada, Virat dada please calm down. », Mohit intervened.

The entire family came running to the living room hearing the brothers fighting.

« Devi Tai, you should be angry with your new favorite brother for uncuffing Sai and helping her escape. I agree I shouldn't have locked her in the room but I could have handled the situation if people listened to me. », Virat contined.
« Arey chal, you can't handle your wife. You are jealous that she is smarter than you that's why you do things by force. », Samrat retorted.
« As if you could handle yours. Even by sitting at home you couldn't understand what she was up to. », Virat replied hurt.
« Virat. », Samrat shouted raising his hand to slap Virat but stopped midway.
