Falling in love again : Sai Joshi!! Part 9

That night since Sai was really tired she fell asleep sooner.Pulkit had made a WhatsApp group to understand about Sai’s trauma! HE added Vikram,Satvam, Samrat, Madhuri, Devyani, Swathi, Mohit, Karishma, Shivani and Usha! Samaira and Harini were sleeping together with Sai !Pulkit messaged everyone to come in the garden !Setting up a small bonfire all of them sat in a circle!That’s when Pulkit asked Vikram to continue from where he had stopped! That evening Dadi Ma who was extremely happy with Swathi’s recovery called Sai in her chamber where each and every member of the Royal Family was present! She presented her a beautiful Saree and a watch ! Sai was stunned she refused from taking them as she felt That she had just done her job but Dadi Ma persuaded her to accept those as a token of thanks ! Dadi Ma then recollects and told Sai that once when she had been to Pune with her infant son Vijayendra for a police training academy opening there was a fire which broke out in the room she was staying and her infant son was caught in the room at that time one of the trainees jumped into the room not bothered about his own luge and rescued her infant! Though she couldn’t thank him personally she had a heavy heart filled with guilt for not being able to thank him or even meet him personally!She wanted to get away from the guilt and when destiny was allowing her to thank someone she didn’t want to miss the opportunity! Sai accepted the gift with a smile acknowledging Dadi Ma’s emotions! While walking across the hallway she stumbled upon the photographs hung in which a particular photograph caught her attention! It was that of her Aaba who used to train police officers! When Dadi Ma saw that Sai was keenly seeing the photograph she went and told that it was when she had gone for the inauguration of the Police Training Academy in Pune and the man who was standing behind her ,That is Kamal Joshi had saved her son’s life! Usha noticed that tears had started forming in Sai’s eyes and quickly went to her and that’s when she saw the photo.

Looking at the photo Usha was stunned she exclaimed that it was their Kamal Dada! Hearing this the Royal Family was confused to which Dadi Ma asked how did they know Inspector Kamal Joshi to which Usha replied that Sai was his only child his entire world revolved around Sai and Sai’s world was her Aaba! But unfortunately when Sai was 18, he went for a mission in which he laid down his life !Sai was shocked by his sudden demise she didn’t know what to do and had lost the zest to live . Hearing this the Royal Family felt extremely bad for Sai and then Dadi Ma hugged Sai and kissed her forehead ! She requested Sai to stay in the Royal Palace itself until she completed her residency! Sayantani who found a Daughter in Sai also told that she should not consider herself as an orphan as her mother that is Sayantani is still alive hearing this Sai felt happy and immediately hugged her ! Hearing that Sai would not be leaving the Palace brought relief to Vikram’s heart which had been aching since morning

Dadi Ma even let Usha stay with Sai in the Palace! Usha had started a small cafe in Jaipur where she used to sell Maharashtrian snacks and food ! Soon it had become very popular and many people used to buy snacks and have food dates at the cafe! When Sai was returning to the room she felt she was being followed and when she turned around she was surprised to see Vikram ! She smiled at him and moved her hand forward and asked him if he would be friends with her! Looking at her hand he held it and said he would love to be friends with her but he didn’t want to start friendship on the basis of a lie ! Hearing this Sai was shocked ,that’s when Vikram said that he liked Sai the day he had seen her it was love at first sight for him and he also told that he wouldn’t force himself on her or pressurize her to like him and would be happy if she was friends with him ! Sai was surprised to hear about Vikram’s honest confession and smiled ! She said that lets be friends! Vikram felt pain in his heart when he realized that she just considered him as a friend but felt happy that she atleast initiated the first step of friendship! HE bid her goodbye and was preparing to leave when he heard something that startled him!

Inside Usha who had heard everything chided Sai for not accepting her feelings she told her how long will she keep running away from her feelings she needs to move on from the past she cannot let it haunt her present and her future! If she kept carrying the Babbage of the past she will never be able to see the bright side of her life that Bappa would have created for her!Sai agreed and said that she did like Vikram and had started falling in love with him and his company but she was scared that if she let her guards down she would be completely broken and she didn’t want that to happen ! Hearing this Vikram realized that Swathi was right as he understood that Sai had made walls around her heart due to some past incidents which have left scars on her heart and mind and she is unable to get over it ! His heart somersaulted on hearing that she too liked him and went to Satvam’s room to celebrate this news! In Satvam’s room heating about Vikram’s confession and the talk between Sai and Usha ! Satvam and Swathi felt happy for Vikram but were concerned on how to open up or learn more about Sai’s past ! It was decided that the next day they would speak to Usha at her cafe and try to help Sai overcome her past!
