Suhani pat her shoulder and wipes her tears, "then let it go Jhummi, leave your past behind, give her a chance to heal you, she accepted her sins and now she really wants to be a good mother for you and Neel, then why you are finding a way to damage yourself again, forget everything and focus on your career and on your dreams, only remember one thing, how much hard work you had done for the scholrship and for admission in this college, stop running your mind in all this and just be yourself, think about the trip now, we will have a lot of fun okay", said Suhani "now give me a hug and smile", she continued and hugged her, Jhummi wipes her tears and hugged her back, "you know last night Ayan called me and i thought it was you, without checking the number I burst out on the call, I felt really stupid, what he will be thinking about me, why the h.e.l.l i am like this", said Jhummi in frustation and Suhani laughed, " why you are thinking, whatever he is thinking, let it be, I am very sure he will understand you instead of judge you", said Suhani and Jhummi smiled.
Ayan was also sitting in the, he was watching Jhummi but Jhummi couldn"t see him, Ayan was listening to her talks as the boy whom Raghav hired was sitting just next to Jhummi"s bench, Ayan felt really sad for her, he could still hear the sobbings of her from last night, he knows everything about Jhummi and her past, he knows how much she suffered all those years, a few weeks ago he met Jhummi"s mother on a journal store, her mother was looking so frustrated and she was crying and yelling on a phone call, Ayan was standing just near her, he listened to all her talks, she cut the call in anger and went inside, she asked for rat poison and she paid the shopkeeper and started running in madness, Ayan had felt the pain of losing her mother, he felt the miserable time of his life, Jhummi"s mother seems a good person, Ayan started following her.
Ayan followed her until she reached her house, she was crying continuously, she went into the kitchen and poured water in a gla.s.s and unwrap the poison, she was about to eat that but Ayan pushed her hand, Jhummi"s mother got panic to see him, "who are you, and how you came inside and why did you stop me", her mother managed to yell on him, Ayan felt so sad to see her condition, tears build up in his eyes, his mother"s accident and her memories started flashing in his mind, Jhummi"s mother become rigid to see a strangers reaction her condition.
