Chapter 26

Nithya was sitting on the window seat of the train traveling to Ashwin's home through train to meet him after all these years. Her life has changed a lot in all these years. Though sulking on the past isn't good ....feelings for few people never fade away.

Ashwin was such person in her life whose memories and feelings could never be erased away. Life away from everyone was lonely but still she had Dev  who was the reason she could live every moment of her life.

She thought everything in her life has ended  when her brother blackmailed her with Dev who was in casmostate.  It was that day she took the huge decision to leave everything behind for her first child, Dev.

She couldn't turn to Ashwin because he was having his issues to face. So she went to Russia when she learned that Dev was kept there by her brother.

Soon Dev started responding to the treatments and  he was returning to his ownself. 

As the days went on one day he himself came to and told me everything about Kiran,  his plan and how he trapped Dev into it. He was worried about spoiling Swathi's life moreover he became more protective towards me.

He wanted to study medicine and I supported his decision . But his possessiveness and protectiveness over me was more than anyone could imagine. He always sees people doubtfully when they approach me. His anger and his intolerance towards medicines was very bad.

It took too much of time for me to bring him out of that. She had to assure him that not everyone was bad.

Nithya's pov :

As the past rewinded in my mind I reached the railway station. As I got the address from my Anni ( sis in law) I boarded a cab and reached his home.

I was hesitant as I reached his home. Even I thought of returning back and make some sort of excuses.

Before I could execute my plan Kavya came outside. It was standing there awkwardly as I saw her. In reality which girl would like her husband's ex visiting them.

Before I could say something she pulled me into a warm hug surprising me.

" welcome back " she said making me smile. I patted her back in a loving manner.

" we have been waiting for you " she said pulling me into the house smiling happily.

As we entered the house I saw Ashwin trying the comb his daughter's hair while she was continuously messing it up. I chuckled seeing them gaining their attention.

Seeing me Ashwin smiled while the little girl hide behind his leg and peeked at me .

" Hi " I said to her not bothering to greet Ashwin.  She suddenly hid behind him clutching him tightly.

" It's not fair " Ashwin said reminding me that I haven't greeted him. I just rolled my eyes at him while he shook his head.

He picked up his daughter and came near us. Kavya has been a silent spectactulator.

" This is Nini Aunty . Say Hi " Ashwin said to his daughter.

" Hi " she said and hid her face in her father's neck.

" Oh so you know how to be shy too " Kavya said to her daughter who raised her head and glared at Kavya.

" Never mind them.. they are like this " Ashwin said making me smile more.

" what's your name ? " I asked her pinching her cheeks.

" Nithyashree " she said meekly. I was quiet after hearing the name.

Kavya went to kitchen to bring juice while stood there awkwardly.

" Dev is studying medicine " I said breaking the silence. Ashwin sat there quietly .

" why did you name your daughter after me " I asked him straightly coming to the point

" I did not.... Kavya did it " he said shocking me.

" I didn't want him to forget you. He got such a life just because of you " Kavya said placing the juice on the table.

" he is here because of his talent  " I said to her.

"  but not without you and your motivation " she said making me go quite.

Soon we had lunch together and little Nithya too bonded with me .

" Atharv wants you to get married " Ashwin said making me go quiet.

" Nithya how about we  meet eachother one day.... " I began speaking to the little girl avoiding the topic.

" though you try to avoid the topic. Your brother is hell bent on getting you married . He said if necessary he might separate me and my family.  And I don't want that to happen Nini " Ashwin said shocking me.

" what do you mean by separating you guys " I asked him.

" ask your brother who told he that " he said making me burn in fury.......
