The next day Meher went office earlier than usual. 

Vihaan came and asked the receptionist whether Meher had reached and told him to immediately send her in his cabin.

Meher was informed about the same. 

She took a deep breath and knocked on his door. Hearing no response she sighed and entered.

She saw him leaning on the table with his back towards her. She could feel his anger.

He turned around and folded his arms in front of his chest and leaned on the table.

"Explain! Kabse chal raha hai ye?"

(Since when is this going on?)

Meher looked down and said.

"Ek mahina."

(A month.)

Vihaan pinched the bridge of his nose and asked again.

"Kya zarurat thi?"

(What was the need.)

"Personal reasons."

He was getting irritated now.

"What personal reasons?"

He asked calmly though he was anything but calm on the inside.

"I don't think i am liable to tell you that, Sir."

He went near her and stood directly in front of her.

"Don't give me that bullshit Meher. I am in no mood of jokes."

She didn't say anything and just looked down. He cupped her face and made her look up.

"Tell me Meher. What is it? Mai jaanta hu kuch toh baat hai otherwise tum aise hi toh koi part time job krne nhi nikal jaaogi. Please tell me."

(I know it is something else you won't go for a part time job just like that.)

She broke down and told him everything. Her father's accident. How their condition started going downhill. How they dealt with it. What the doctor told her. Everything.

By the end of it she was a sobbing mess. He held her tightly in his arms and consoled her.

"Bataya kyu nhi kabhi Meher? Kitni baar puchha maine kabhi nhi bataya."

(Why didn't you tell me Meher? I asked so many times you never told me.)

She pulled back slightly and said.

"Isliye nhi bataya. I didn't want your sympathy Vihaan."

(For this reason.)

She said and started getting out of his arms. He didn't let her and held her tight.

"Sympathy nhi hai. I am proud of you ki tumne itna sab kuch itni strongly face kia. Kisi ko kabhi bhi ye pata hi nhi chala ki kya ho raha hai tumhari life mai. I am so proud of you Meher. You are so strong."

(Its not sympathy. I proud of you that you faced so much so strongly. No one could even know what you were going through.)

He said everything with genuinity that she started crying again. He hugged her hard and they stayed like that.

After some time Meher realised what she was doing and started pulling back but he tightened his hold.

"Vihaan chhodiye mujhe."

(Vihaan leave me.)

He just hummed but didn't let go.

"Vihaan please. This is not professional."

"I don't care. Just stay."

He whispered making her heartbeat go frantic.

She pulled back slightly and looked at him.

"Kyu? Why do you want me to stay?"

(Why?)

She whispered and he smiled looking into her eyes.

"Because i-"

She cut him off by keeping her hand on his mouth.

"Umm-mujhe nhi janna. I have to go."

(I don't want to know.)

She started to free herself but he spoke anyways.

"I love you Meher."

She stilled and closed her eyes. She had wanted to hear this forever but she could not do this.

She shook her head and said.

"This is not possible. Ye nhi ho skta Vihaan. We are not possible."

(This can't happen.)

"Kyu? You don't love me?"

(Why?)

He knew she too had feelings for him but was not accepting due to some reason.

Meher shook her head and said.

"Aisa nhi hai Vihaan. Its just-we are not possible. Hum saath nhi reh skte. Mai apne parents ko nhi chhod skti. Aapko bataya hai na maine papa ke baare mai. Mai kaise- wo log akele pad jaayenge. Mai upar se-"

(Its not like that. We can't live together. I can't leave my parents. I told you about papa right. They would be left alone. And moreover-)

He cut her speech off by placing a brief kiss on her lips making her eyes widen. 

He cupped her face and said.

"Kitna bolti ho tum."

(You speak so much.)

She bit her lower lip and looked down blushing. 

'Did he just? I think he did.'

She couldn't understand what happened. 

"Do you trust me? Sirf dil rakhne ke liye mat bolna."

(Don't say just to keep my heart.)

"I trust you." 

She said making him smile.

"Then trust me. I promise sab thik ho jaayega. Aur rahi baat mumma papa ko chhodne ki. Mai tumhe abhi shaadi krne ke liye thodi bol rha hu."

(Everything will be fine. And about leaving mumma papa. I am not asking you to marry me right now.)

He said teasingly and she hit his chest.

"I promise hamari shaadi mai uncle tumhe khud mandap tak chhodne aayenge. Aur nachenge bhi."

(I promise in our wedding uncle will bring you to the mandap. Aur will dance too.)

Meher felt tears brim in her eyes again and she hugged him. 

"Ab toh bol do pyaar karti ho ya nhi?"

(Atleast say right now you love me or not?)

She chuckled and said.

"I love you."

He held her tighter and they smiled in each other's embrace.

**************************************

Vihaan showed her father's reports to Reyansh and he got to know that the doctor was fraud and was giving him only vitamins and no treatment was going on. 

Meher was so angry. She had been working hard all the time and that doctor was eating her hard work. 

They filed a case against him and Reyansh took responsibility of her father's treatment.

Vihaan didn't want to hide anything from their families so they both announced it to everyone. The youngsters were so excited that they were already making plans for marriage.

It took about two months to settle the case and in the end they won and the doctor's license was terminated and they were given compensation.

Her father was getting better. He had started showing movements in his fingers and could form a few facial expressions.

Meher and Naina had cried a lot when they saw him recovering. They have waited 11 years for this day.

**************************************

Ajay was recovering well and Vihaan and Meher's relationship was going on smooth. 

Vihaan was in his cabin. He was in the office early because of a meeting. 

He heard the door open and saw Meher entering with a smile. A smile formed on his face seeing her smile.

She settled in his lap and he looked at her amused. He held her waist and she hugged him hiding her face in his neck.

"Thank you so much."

She said kissing his cheek. He smiled amusedly.

"Okkkkk. Kis cheez ke liye thank you bola jaa rha hai?"

(What am i getting thank you for?)

"Aapne jo kuch bhi kiya uske liye. Aapki wajah se papa atleast baith toh paate hai. Maine toh umeed hi chhod di thi."

(Whatever you did for that. Because of you papa could sit now. I had lost all the hope.)

He smiled and caressed her cheek.

"Don't go back there. Ab sab thik ho raha hai. Just be happy."

(Now everything is going fine.)

She nodded and smiled resting her head on his shoulder. 

"Waise bada sukha sukha thank you chipka diya tumne."

(You said very dry thank you.)

He teased her and she smile biting her lip.

"Haina! Mujhe bhi laga. Hmm sochte hai."

(I know right! Let's think of something.)

She pretended to think and smiled naughtily leaning near his ear.

"Go on a date with me?"

"Haww! Tum toh badi tez nikli. Chalo itna keh rhi ho toh mann rakh leta hu."

(You are very fast. I will keep your heart if you are saying so much.)

He said and both of them laughed.
