Roshni's P.O.V.
.
We were sitting in the living room when Titly came and spoke up, “Vai, let's go.”
Getting all shocked and scared, I asked her, “Where?” only to get a questioning and confused look from her as she uttered, “Where else! Office obviously. What did you think, Api?”
I couldn't bring myself to utter anything other than turning my head left and right. Then she looked at Ruhaan and spoke up, “Si..I mean Vai, we have an important meeting today.”
Ruhaan was still looking at Titly being confused. Seeing that, Titly again uttered, “Besides being your sister, I am your secretary too, remember?”
I didn’t know why but hearing her saying that, Ruhaan smiled heartily while nodding to her.
Giving that thought a break, I thought in mind, “It will be better. In Titly’s absence, I will get time to talk to Ammi and convince her somehow.”
Taking their leave, they left the house and I felt my eyes getting watery. For a moment I thought Titly was going back to her real house, her home leaving us forever.
Wiping my eyes, I turned to Ammi only to find her staring at them with teary eyes. When I spoke up, “Ammi, what's the matter? Why are you being like this?”
Ammi kept staring at me for a while then spoke up, “I am feeling tired, Roshni. I will get some sleep. You too take some rest.”
Before I could say anything, Ammi left to her room leaving me all puzzled. I again sat in the living room and kept thinking about it. Ammi was behaving somewhat oddly.
I didn’t get to decide how to tell all this to ammi as I was getting afraid of something bad happening to her.
Though I was searching for Titly’s family for all this time but when he was in front of me, the brother of Titly, now I was getting afraid of losing Ammi.
What should I do! While thinking all this, I forwarded towards my room. Taking out a picture of Tithy, I kept staring at her and didn’t get to know when tears started rolling down from my eyes.
I kept sitting on my bed like that until I heard Ammi calling my name as she entered the room.
I put the photo frame under the pillow and turned to her. While walking towards her, I uttered being concerned, “You okay, Ammi?”
Without replying me, she wiped the tear of my eyes making me got all startled and before I could say something after getting myself together, Ammi walked towards the bed and took out the photo frame of Tithy.
Then as she kept staring at it, her eyes also got watery. And with that teary eyes, she turned to me and spoke up, “Is Ruhaan really Titly’s brother?” making me got shocked again.
I couldn’t get myself to utter anything as I kept staring at her with a disbelieving look.
She looked at the picture again and spoke up while caressing the photo, “Did you really think I wouldn’t get to know whether she was really my Tithy!”
“Ammi, how did you” I walked towards her as I spoke up only to get stopped as she uttered in between, “You are forgetting Roshni, Tithy was my daughter and I was her mother. How could I not know!”
I sat on the floor while crying with a thud as I spoke up, “I am sorry, Ammi. I am sorry. I just, I just”
Ammi picked me up and hugged me as she spoke up, “I know dear why you did that. Though I got really angry to know your doing but when I saw you crying holding Tithy’s picture and explaining to Heer why you couldn’t bring yourself to tell me all this and how you met Titly and when Heer convinced you that it was not your fault and how Titly ended up getting Tithy's face and later when I saw how heartily you kept searching for Titly’s family, my anger melt down.
I tried to tell you many times that I knew all these but just at the mention of Tithy, you changed the topic direction or Titly interrupted us. That’s why I couldn’t get to tell you.”
Hearing Ammi, I hugged her and spoke up while crying, “I was afraid of losing you ammi. That's why I didn’t get to tell you myself. I am sorry Ammi. Please forgive me.”
Ammi turned me to face her and while wiping my tears, she spoke up, “Roshni, I am not angry with you dear. And look now I am also fine and the Almighty, Himself made Titly’s family came to her.”
Then I spoke up, “Right ammi. Now it’s our turn. Titly and Ruhaan helped us in many ways. They helped me to get my family well. Now we have to help her to get to her family. We have to try to make her remember her past. And for this we need to take her to that house where she used to live. We need to shift there, Ammi. As without us, Titly who is our Tithy now won’t move in anywhere. When all things get cleared, Tithy becomes Titly, we can just leave.”
Hearing me, Ammi nodded but in no minute she spoke up as if she remembered something, “But Roshni, whatever the matter is it’s true that you are Ruhaan's wife now.”
Hearing her, I thought for a moment and spoke up, “Ammi, Ruhaan married me because he didn’t want to see Titly sad then. Though that time he didn’t know, she was his sister Titly. And besides I don’t know how Titly will react and think of me when she will get her memory back. I am just getting ready to face the reality. If needed, we will just get out of their lives. Ammi, you will be with me, right?”
Ammi nodded and spoke up, “I will always be with you dear. I am really lucky to have you as my daughter.”
I smiled hearing her and spoke up, “Ammi, let's do packing. When they comes back from office today, we will shift then as I will be busy from tomorrow as I also need to go to office then.”
By the time we were done with our packing, it was almost evening. We sat in the living room to take some rest when we heard the calling bell.
I opened the door and Titly and Ruhaan entered. Titly was back in her older self with blabbering and Ruhaan was smilingly hearing that.
Seeing me, Titly spoke up with a smile, “Api, you know what happened? Today when I was” but got stopped when she saw the luggage in the living room and uttered being shocked, “Are you going somewhere?”
“Yes, we are going your home.” saying this, I turned to Ruhaan only to find him utterly happy but hearing Titly uttering shockingly, “My home? What are you saying api?”, I turned to her and again spoke up, “We are shifting to Ruhaan's house for the time being dear.”
She nodded and I spoke up again, “Go and check your room in case I forgot something important for you.”
“Okay.”, saying this, she left to her room and Ruhaan got near me to thank me, “Roshni, I don’t have the word to thank you.”
I spoke up, “You don't need to thank me. It’s you to whom I am thankful.”
Right then Titly came there and spoke up showing me a photo frame, “How come you are forgetting this api? It will always be with me.”
It was a family picture of us including Heer. Seeing the picture and hearing her saying that, my eyes got teary. And Titly got close to me and while wiping that, spoke up, “What’s this api? You don’t look good in tears and I don’t like my sister like this.”
I hugged her smilingly and after sometime we all left the house behind and forwarded towards Titly’s home to help her get her memory back.......
