Ashwin's pov:

" This is her " I gave the picture to Atharv.

" It's from the cctv right " Atharv asked me and I nodded my head.

" I hope God brings her infront of us." I said sighing. While Atharv was in deep thoughts.

" what are pondering over " I asked him.

" when the time comes I will tell you brother in law " Atharv said to me. I chuckled sadly hearing his words.

" I have lost that dignity Atharv " I said being ashamed of myself.

" Fine... then I will call you as ex brother in law " he said grinning ear to ear. I gave him a hard look.

" It's not funny Atharv " I told him.

" meet Nithya once in a while Ashwin.  She needs time to accept her new life without you and its taking a toll on her " Atharv told me of Nithya's situation.  I  have been maintaining my distance from her after that incident as it's not right .

" but... " Atharv cut me off before I could finish my words.

"In the future there will be a time when I will cut off every ties between you both . I won't let you contact her at any means and I won't ever change my decision Ashwin.  The day that girl enters your life Nithya will exit from your life officially until then all I'm giving you a little time to spend with eachother.  Make use of it. You won't see her ever until I wish " He said his decision. 

I know as a brother he has to take few decisions for his sister's life's well-being and I support him wholeheartedly in that.

" I will talk to her " I said nodding at him.

After  the conversation I drove my car towards the home that Nithya and I dreamt of living together for our whole life. We had lots and lots of plans for our future.  We dreamt of growing our family in that home. I wiped away the tears that came past my eyes thinking of every dreams that are just gonna remain as a dream.

As I reached there I went in and saw her laying down on the bed staring at the ceiling blankly.

" Nini... " I called her. She looked at me for a few seconds and then again stared right back into the ceiling.

I went near her and sat on the floor holding her hands. We sat there in silence.

" we have to accept the reality Nini. This is what our future is meant to be.  Maybe in the future you will find a man who will love you more than his life " I said breaking the silence.

" so you are trying to say that you never loved me more than your life. Am I right Ashwin " She asked me. I could sense sadness, hurt and anger in her voice. I sighed leaning more on to the wall.

" life sucks Nini.... there isn't anything that you don't know about me and my past. I have seen it with my own eyes how bad dad use to treat mom. I don't want that girl to face that. What if she gets a husband like my dad and ends up like mom. I don't want that." I said closing my eyes.

" life sucks Ashwin... when I think I would be living a life without you.....anyway let me get you something to eat " saying that she left towards the kitchen while now it was my turn to stare blankly at the ceiling.....
