Recap: Varna faints and Ishana decides to stay back-IshRan conversation-Sharan's father confronts Sharan

At Night
Sharan's POV

I had dinner with my entire family. Both Veena and Varna are happy now. Isha was very nice to me in front of them, so yeah me too but one thing is dad didn't talk with me. His silence is killing me second by second.

I know that I deserve it so I shall wait for a proper situation to talk to him. If I talk now, I might just do more damage and he might hate me more. I promised to never hurt Isha but I broke it in front of him, he is never going to trust me again.

I completed my dinner and then sat down to do some office work in the living room. When I walked back into the room, I saw Isha sleeping on the floor. Still.

It hurts me seeing her like that but I also didn't want to disturb her. I knew that she hadn't slept a wink yesterday and she needed the rest so I did the only thing I could do. I took another bed sheet and spread it on the floor, on the other side of the bed and promptly went to sleep.

Well somebody has to punish me for my mistakes.

In the Morning
Ishana's POV

I slept a bit more into the day than I usually do but in my defense I hadn't slept in two days. I stood up from the floor and looked at the bed only to see that Sharan wasn't there, I frowned in confusion, the bed didn't look slept on.

I moved towards the washroom only to stop in my tracks after two steps. Sharan was sleeping on the floor. The sight melted my heart. What is he doing here? Why didn't he sleep on the bed? He gets back ache when he sleeps like this.

The whole family suffered because of him, he too should suffer a little. With this thought, I walked into the washroom. When I returned back to the room, he wasn't there anymore. I glanced towards the balcony and found him there.

I went to the kitchen and prepared coffee for everybody. I then gave the said coffee to them, my rude husband included. We didn't want angels to know that there was any problem between us. Sharan had breakfast and left to his office as usual.

At the Office
Sharan's POV

Isha always tries to understand me even when I don't do the same. Without me telling a single thing she understood my problem with that women my sisters called mother.

What have I done to her? All I do is hurt her. When she asked for the money, I ended the conversation assuming that she was here only for my money. I assumed things without even making an effort to ask her about it.

Sharan you made a very big mistake.

Will she ever forgive me?

Just then my assistant entered my cabin.

"Sir, someone is here to meet you" he said.

"I don't want to meet anyone now" I replied.

"Sir they are here from a long distance. It will be very difficult for them to come again another day" he said.

"I am not in the mood to meet anyone. Ask them to please come on another day"

He turned to leave but I stopped him.

"Wait, wait. Where did they come from?" I enquired.

"They said that they are from Krishnapuram sir"

Krishnapuram! The name of the place caught my attention. Why are they here? I asked him to send them in. I looked at the man and woman who had walked in. They looked familiar but I couldn't place their names.

I offered them seats across from me and they settled down into them.

"Do you remember us son?" the lady asked me.

"I am sorry ma'am. I saw you both somewhere but...." I searched for words but came up empty.

"It's okay son. We know that you are a busy man. I am Kesav and this is my wife Seetha. We were Isha's neighbors back in Krishnapuram. We attended your sisters' birthday celebrations too" the man said patiently.

"Okay, I remember now" I replied comfortably.

"We are hear to give our heart-felt thanks to you" he said confusing me.

"Thank me? For what?" I almost jumped out of my chair.

"Don't be so modest son. Why are you behaving like you don't know anything? Our son's surgery has been fixed with the money that you and Isha dear have given us" the women said, her eyes slightly damp with tears.

"Please tell me more about it" I requested them.

"My son has been suffering from chronic kidney failure for the past one year. He had survived until now through continuous dialysis which was funded by Isha or her parents till their death. The doctors asked us to arrange for a transplant immediately if we didn't want to lose our son" the man explained. He looked on the verge of crying.

"Neither of our kidneys' was a match. When we had informed Isha about this at the birthday party she had agreed to help us" the lady picked up from where he left.

"Agreed to help, meaning?" I asked in confusion.

"Her kidney had been a match and she agreed to donate it" the man said shocking me to the core.

"She also agreed to support us monetarily when she got to know about the cost and how we might not be able to arrange it on time" the lady continued.

I understand everything now. If my father's words yesterday shocked me then this was beyond anything that I could bear. Isha took that money to help save someone's life and what did I do to her?

I am feeling extremely guilty and sad for my behavior. I was beyond rude when I had treated her like a maid. More than anything I hurt her. I questioned her self-respect.

Do I have the right to live? She is ready to sacrifice her life for someone and me?

"We have always treated Isha like our own daughter and we wouldn't want one of our child to suffer for the other. So we found another donor. The surgery is fixed for the fifteenth of next month" I released the breath that I didn't know I was holding and relaxed.

I was proud of my wife for her decision but I am also relieved that they didn't want her kidney anymore. I don't want to drag her to a surgery table, maybe I am possessive.

Oh! OH! OH!

I have made a lot of mistakes and I don't want to hurt her anymore in life.

Thank god!
