Rhea's POV

"Hey Rhea!!!", sakshi hugs me tightly while i somehow try to get away from her tight grip.

Sakshi is my second best friend after pallavi.
Pallavi and sakshi are room mates as pallavi got transfered from Delhi to Gwalior just a few days before.
Sakshi and i were school mates since class 6th while pallavi was my college mate.

"Hii sakshi", i reply as she finally leaves me .
Sakshi is the sweetest soul but it will take her some time to realise that she actually crushes rhe person while hugging.

I see pallavi running towards me and engulfs me in a big hug

"Hi pallavi!", we hug

"Hi babes!..missed you soo much!", pallavi replies

All of then get inside the house.
As i get inside, i get awestruck seeing such a beautiful apartment.

Its one of most girlish apartment that i have come across, all the curtains are pink and so are the cusion on the grey sofas.

There are teddy bears and other soft toys spread on the small racks.

The kitchen is wonderful and it has every cooking instuments presents, thats because Sakshi is a chef.

There three rooms, having magnificent interiors.
Sakshi's room has a huge round bed with white and light curtains.
The wall is pink and yellow.
Her room has a huge dressing table and study table.

"Sakshi your room is heaven!", i speak

"Ahh...thanks rhea!", she smiles.

"You know sakshi has made lasagna!", pallavi speaks while i jump with happiness.

"Wow!!", i reply giving a small kiss on sakshi's cheeks

Sakshi takes me to another room, just next to hers.

"Ok rhea,  this going to be your room while you stay here. You freshen up while i will serve you a yummy breakfast!", Sakshi speaks while i nod softly

Sakshi and pallavi leave then room while i close the door from inside.

I then brush my teeth and bath quickly. I wear a yellow tee and black capris tieing my hair in a messy bun.
As i start to unpack my bags, i see the letter.
Its the same letter maa (vivaan's mother had written).
My hands tremble while i open it.

She writes,

Dearest Rhea,

If you are reading this letter then that means then that its been a month since i have left this world.

It was many years when you were about 9 years, and vivaan was 10 years old.
At that time my son abeer was just 3 years old.

I always wanted a daughter, but the day abeer was born i cried because i was confident that my second child will be a daughter.

Abeet had turned 3 years old, Thats when i met you. You had beautiful eyes and a heart melting smile.

From that day onwards i always thought i have a daughter , i was no more sad.
Vivaan was always a bit immature child, i remember he was scared of swings.
Thats when you holded his hand and made him face his fear.
After that you never left his hand and each passing year you made me realise that you were the girl who will be perfect for my little prince.

Slowly and readily vivaan and you were inseparable and my bond with you also grew deeper.

And then, one day everything came crashing down.
Naina's death.
I did not knew that vivaan would fall for naina and not you.
And when i tried to accept it, naina left the world.
Slowly all the happy times stsrted to detor.
Your and vivaan was completely destroyed while my son was turned into a lifeless individual.

I know all that happened and why naina had accident but i decided to keep mum about it

After vivaan's dad and i had a divorce, i lost my old son forever.

And finally i was found to be affected with cancer.

I made my mind to get both of you married. I agree it was a selfish decision but i knew evn though you both hate each other but still both of you have a unsaid connection since childhood.

Rhea, vivaan is my son and i know him very well.
There is only one girl that ruled his heart before and after naina, that is you.
Naina was just a small part of his heart.
It was his guilt that made him what he is today.
Rhea, please take care of vivaan and dont lose him.
You both are meant for each other Both of you have to realise before its too late.
May god bless you always and remember i am always there with you.

Love,
Maa.

My eyelid becomes wet , and as i letter end i find my self trembling deep into pool full of memories.

Those beautiful childhood memories, that golden part of my life.

Maa, knew about naina and all that happened after naina died?

She is soo true, vivaan was always so close to me and i had promised to be by his side

But giving vivaan a chance will be like hurting myself because he will never realise any of his mistake, or will he?

Oh god! Why is this so tough.
Maybe i should wait for a day more and then contact vivaan.

Or as mom says, make him realise the truth by telling him what i feel.
Mom says vivaan loves me?
But then why has he never confessed?

Can love get anymore complicated?

"Rhea???..come fast!..", sakshi screams knocking the door with all her might.

I hurriedly keep the letter inside my bag and run towards the kitchen.
