WE STARTED OUR JOURNEY TO HIS NATIVE PLACE...

IT WAS SUCH A PEACEFUL JOURNEY...

COLD WINDS PASSING BY, HOT TEA AND JACKETS...

A PERFECT MOMENT AT THE TRAIN STATION...

IT WAS THE BEST TIME OF THE YEAR, TO VISIT OUR NATIVE PLACE AND ATTEND WEDDING...

NEXT DAY, WE REACHED THE VILLAGE AND THEN WE CONTINUED THE FURTHER JOURNEY WITH A CAR...

WE REACHED THE VILLAGE BY EVENING...

EVERYTHING WAS LOOKING SO BEAUTIFUL...

THE SUN WAS ALMOST GOING TO SET, SO IT WAS GETTING DARK...

WITH TIME, IT WAS GETTING COLDER TOO...

WE KEPT OUR STUFF IN OUR ROOMS...

AND AS MANY KIDS WERE PRESENT THERE, MY DAUGHTER WAS BUSY PLAYING WITH THEM...

I WENT OUTSIDE FOR A WALK...

HE FOLLOWED ME...

HE CAME BESIDE ME...

AND WE WERE WALKING THROUGH THE FIELDS...

HE SAID... HOW ARE YOU...

I SAID... I AM FINE... HOW IS YOUR WORK GOING ON...

HE SAID... GOOD...

AND THEN WE WERE QUITE FOR A MINUTE OR TWO...

AND THEN HE SAID...
I HAVE CONSIDERED COMING BACK... I AM FINDING A NEW JOB IN MUMBAI...

I DIDN'T SAID ANYTHING MUCH, I JUST SAID HMM...

HE SAID... PLEASE GIVE ME A SECOND CHANCE...

I SHOULDN'T HAVE LEFT YOU BOTH ALONE...

I REALLY REGRET LEAVING YOU BOTH ALONE LIKE THAT...

I KNOW I SHOULD HAVE RECONSIDERED THE DECISIONS I MADE, I KNOW I DIDN'T RECONSIDER THEM AND I AM SORRY FOR THAT...

PLEASE FORGIVE ME...

I WAS ABOUT TO REPLY...

BUT MY MOTHER IN LAW CAME FROM BEHIND...

SO, HE MADE A EXCUSE AND WENT BACK...

MOM WAS WALKING BY MY SIDE... SHE STARTED THE CONVERSATION BY SAYING...

SO, WILL YOU FORGIVE HIM ?

I CHUCKLED AND REPLIED...
SO, YOU HEARD US...

SHE REPLIED... YES, I DID...

I REPLIED...
IF YOU WERE AT MY PLACE, WOULD YOU FORGIVE HIM...

SHE REPLIED... YES, I WOULD FORGIVE HIM... BECAUSE WE BOTH KNOW THAT HE REALLY DIDN'T MAKE A MISTAKE...

I REPLIED... YEAH... HE JUST ABANDONED ME AND MY DAUGHTER FOR 13 YEARS...

SHE REPLIED...
HE WANTED TO EARN FOR YOU GUYS... I BET, HE WASN'T HAPPY THERE WITHOUT YOU GUYS EITHER...

I REPLIED... SO, I SHOULD FORGIVE HIM ?

SHE REPLIED...
AMBIKA, EVEN GOD FORGIVES FOR MISTAKES...

I DIDN'T REPLY AND WE CAME BACK HOME SOON...

FOR WHAT HAPPENED NEXT YOU WILL HAVE TO WAIT...
