Ketki:

We are in the car, going to the Chauhan mansion. Rudra is sitting beside me, talking to someone on call. We are going to complete our remaining rituals today. I felt the car stopping, indicating we had reached.

I heard my side of the door opening, Rudra held my hand and helped me out of the car.

"We'll stop by a place and then go Chauhan Mansion"

I was confused but trusted him. He led me somewhere. As soon as we walked through the door, a smell hit me-the smell of medicine. We were in the hospital, but why?

Rudra let me room, and he helped me sit down.

"Oh you guys are finally here"

I recognized the voice, it was his friend Devansh.

"How are you bhabhi"

I simply nodded,

"Well that's good to hear so Bhabhi we have good news for you"

Devansh continued,

"We had an accident case yesterday and unfortunately he couldn't make it but he had signed up for eye donation, we can proceed with the surgery as soon as possible"

I was confused as hell hearing him. Was it that simple? Then why did it take years for Dada and Baba to find donors?

My hand automatically went to Rudra and I held his hand tight. He simply caresses my hand with his thumb pad.

"You'll have your eyesight by tomorrow Mrs Chauhan.. that's my wedding gift for you"

I felt like crying, was it finally im gonna get my eyes back?

My grip on his hand tightened,

"Are you telling the truth?"

I asked not believing him. He pats my hand assuredly.

"Yes, Mrs. Chauhan I made a promise to myself, and im fulfilling it now.."

My lips curled into a wide smile, finally, I was gonna have my eyesight back, im finally gonna see again... finally, im gonna see Rudra... finally.

Rudra:

Finally, the smile I wanted to see. Her smile is priceless, I just want her to smile like this and im gonna make sure.

Her hold on my hand was still tightened, she was trying to calm down. I rubbed her back until her breathing was normal.

"Your father and brother will be here soon, are you ready for the surgery?"

I saw her nodding, and she went to prepare for surgery with the nurse.

I looked at Devansh,

"How did you manage it overnight?"

Devansh just shrugs

"You asked me for a favor for the first time, how can i let you down... it's done in secrecy only trusted staff knows about it"

I knew Devansh and Zayn would do anything for me if I asked for it, I was grateful to have them in my life.

After the surgery, her father and brother had reached the hospital. They were talking to her.

Samarth walked to me,

"Thank you"

He spoke curtly, I simply nodded.

"I know you'll treat her well, after tonight she'll live a new life a proper life"

He continued, I can see samarth trying to control his tears. And I did something I would never do. I patted his shoulder a friendly pat.

"If my sister was alive im sure you would have treated her well too"

I spoke and walked away from there leaving samarth alone. I walked into the room chashni was staying in hospital.

Her eyes were wrapped in a white bandage, and it would be opened the next day.

I settled down on the small stool near her bed. And there it is her sweet smile, how does she even know that I am here?

I held her warm hand in my cold one.

"You okay?"

I nodded,

"Will I get my eyes back tomorrow?"

I held her knuckles near my lips and kissed her knuckles, I saw her cheeks turning red.

"Tomorrow you'll see you'll be able to see your father your brother-"

"And also you"

She cut me off, my heart quickened knowing that she felt something about me too.

"Now go to bed hm?"

She shook her head,

"I am so excited I won't be able to sleep"

I helped her lie down despite her denial,

"Just lay down and wait for tomorrow hm everything will change once you wake up"

I covered her properly with the comforter and was about to go to but she held my hand.

"Stay with me"

I smiled and sat down on the stool again,

"Did you eat?"

She asked me, and it suddenly hit me that I hadn't eaten anything i was so into the surgery and arranging things that I forgot to eat.

"I'll eat later"

She turned her head in my direction.

"But you haven't eaten anything since morning"

I smiled again,

'too much smiling in just one day Mr Chauhan'

"You go to sleep Mrs Chauhan, I'll go eat later"

She held out her hand,

"My phone"

I gave her phone to her and she dialed an emergency number. I heard her calling the person on the other side dada means she had called her brother.

She asked him to get food for me. She handed back the phone to me.

"You shouldn't skip food, next time I don't want you to skip food in any situation"

I smiled and I kept her phone aside,

"Okay Mrs Chauhan"

I saw her smile satisfied.

"Ketki, can I ask you for something?"

I saw her nodding,

"I know you only make blueberry cheesecakes on special order, can you make one for me..."

She was about to reply when we heard a knock on the door. Samarth walked in with take-out food.

He handed me the parcel,

"You go eat till then I'll stay with her"

I unwillingly got up and sat on the couch eating food while chashni and samarth kept on talking about random things.

Ketki:

Next day:

Today my bandage would be removed, and I would see again, i would see.

the ophthalmologist was removing my bandage while Baba, dada, Rudra, and Devansh stood there.

Soon the doctor removed the bandage.

"Mrs. Ketki, slowly open your eyes"

I heard the doctor speak, I was so nervous about it.

I took a deep breath and slowly opened my eyes. But everything was a blur to me. My vision was blurry.

"Doctor, my vision is blurry was the surgery not successful?"

I heard the doctor giving a light laugh.

"No, Mrs. Ketki. Your surgery was successful; it's the effect. Your vision will go back to normal; give it some time."

I closed my eyes again and slowly opened them. I saw my baba and dada clearly in tears.

"Baba.."

I whispered that I saw him after years, and honestly, he looked old. Was it because of me? He gave me a small smile.

My gaze fell on an unknown man... but he didn't feel unknown. I knew him; he was the same as how Arya had described him, I recognized him. He is the one whom I desperately wanted to see. He is my husband.

"Rudra"
