Herambh, Pranali and their young daughter Keya were a nuclear family living in the city of Pune ....
They were married for over a decade...
Having known each other for that long they knew exactly how the other would react....
Early in marriage Pranali had larger than life expectations from Herambh
She wore rose tinted glasses and believed that Romance Passion Zing were supposed to be a part of their connection as a rule....
She found it difficult to step out of her fantasy world into reality that city couples experience....
She thought over and dreamt of probabilities and options of she being with other men had she not married early...
She secretly sulked being stuck as a one man women in her early twenties....
She enjoyed whatever attention she received outside marriage...
Had an online fling....
Herambh came to know about it....
There was confrontation allegations and chaos....
She apologized and got back to being together with him...
It took time to regain his trust but eventually they got along and settled....
With the birth of Keya their equation changed....
Herambh as the man of the house went ahead to prove himself well in his profession meaning to bring home all comforts to his wife n kid....
He worked hard strived his best to do well at work...
Pranali had home and Keya to look into....
Herambh always pushed her to make her use her talents to their fullest potential....
However Pranali chose to be laid back and a bit negligent to her own self development....
She felt that Herambh did not give her any attention and their relationship lacked spark....
She somehow exuded vibes that portrayed her as an unhappy lonely housewife....
On one hand she managed Keya and the household successfully while grieving about having no companionship in marriage....
She was active on social networking as a way to pass time and get out of her loneliness
She came across Sarang who she had befriended on the basis of many mutual friends....
It was the first time ever that he complimented her genuinely...
They got speaking...
Having found many common interests they exchanged numbers....
They shared their life stories and their current statuses....
Sarang was married but stayed away from his kids n wife due to conflicts...
Pranali stayed together with her husband....but wasn't sure if it really was a 'marriage'....
They connected, they met, they shared everything, they formed a bond....
Neither of them could get out of their marriage and stay together....
Sarang had nothing to lose, he stayed alone and welcomed Pranali's presence in his life with open arms...
He looked forward to her company....
Virtually and actually....
Pranali on the other hand lead dual life....
Stayed as a wife with Herambh while being a soulmate to Sarang...
This juggling act goofed up....
Herambh always kind of knew about Pranali's commitment issues....
One night he confronted Pranali about Sarang's presence in her life....
Pranali first denied...
Herambh then presented her with printouts of all the mails and chats which she had as a proof....
She had no option but to agree to the allegations....
Herambh told her that by breaking his trust and cheating on him she had not only made him extremely upset but very angry and he felt hurt...
He shook her to reality...
He told her that she wasn't a teenager to be gushing over new men every few months....
Herambh and Pranali had known each other for more than 11 years by then....
He questioned her about her integrity....
About the reason why she had a riving eye....
He gave her options....
Of packing her bags and leaving to go to Sarang and settle down with him...
Herambh told her that he will move on with Keya, get remarried and settled....
Keya would always be with him Herambh sternly said....
He also told her that if she wanted to stay back she had to stop all contacts with Sarang and be a one man woman in a committed marriage....
Had it not been for Keya, he would never have considered taking Pranali back, he said...
Herambh also told her that he was considerate enough to allow her to say a proper and final bye to Sarang if she choose to come back...
He warned her that one more fling, another affair or a flirt would cause him to take firm and final action....
He would pack her bags and send her out of the house if it ever repeated again....
Pranali listened....
She said sorry for have caused hurt to Herambh....
She slept that night. Surprisingly peacefully....
Woke up....unfriended Sarang from her friends list....
Bid adieu to him over the phone...
She just told Sarang what happened...
No questions were asked no explanations were made....
She submitted all her online passwords to Herambh as an agreement to stay in the trust zone....
What she had was beautiful...
What she now has...well it has to be beautiful...
It's how she ll look towards life and her perspective about satisfaction and contentment will signify how she leads her life ahead....
Fidelity, cheating, trust, grief, love, marriage are all faces of a dice that life might throw at us....
It's how we move forward when its our turn to play will decide where we eventually land up....
All tales needn't be happy or sad or successful or a failure...
Tales just happen....
Just like life....
