She didn't even remembered her past life that she had spent in all those years, she had been away from us.
For all she remembers is her – Aaru. We don't know who that person is.
But seeing her reaction to the name, we guessed it to be her child.
But how come she like that and where is her child and husband then?
We know none of it.
All we followed is what the doctor had advised us to.
He had asked us to create a happy and peaceful environment around her.
To get her some freshness.
And what other than a complete family could be happy and peaceful environment for her?
Therefore we brought her here, plus we wanted to reveal all this to you too – in person.
I am sorry, Nishi for hiding all this important things from you from past few weeks, but I had no other choice." Pallavi finished, her voice choking up as she laid her side.

Aradhana, who was listening to all this with moist eyes – finally let her tears fall down as she shook her head in negative, "Don't apologize, di. It's okay.
I understand that whatever you did was meant for everyone's good.
And the best thing is that we got our Shanu di back. I can't ask for anything else." She said while embracing her sister in a bear hug.
Abhira smiled at the duo, but curiosity got better over her and she bluttered out, "AD, can you shed some light for me too?"
Vansh too chimed in, "Even I want an elaborate explanation."
Naksh chuckled at her and then with a deep sigh, he added, "It's a long story, a really long one."
The silence that followed was deafening, each face portraying the silent war they were facing inside their mind.
Seconds passed, followed by minutes; but none spoke.

Aradhana finally broke the silence, recalling her family's history.
"Our little Rai's family was completely devasted after Dada ji's death. Dadi was in a very bad state. She fell terribly ill and there were no signs of her recovery.
Tau ji and Papa ji weren't doing well either. They thought that by time, the things will finally settle down.
But that didn't happened. Even after some eight months of his demise, nothing changed. Dadi ji's health was getting worse day by day, she even slipped in partial paralyses.
It was then, that Tau ji and Papa ji decided to move abroad for her better medical treatment and change of environment.
They left their high – paying jobs here, and the family shifted to our property in Cape Town.
There they started up their own business. The time flew by and like that four years passed. But things didn't go into right place.
Their business did survive but didn't thrive; they were on the verge of extinction.
Tau ji and Tai ji had been married for eight years, but still they weren't blessed by bundle of their joys.
Even Maa and Papa had completed their five years of marriage and still our family was longing for a child.
Broken but beautiful?? (13)
