He was a man of little words, so nothing more was said, but his heart was wrung with pain. Dev knew that his parents would never force him to do anything against his heart, but they would be desolate if they lost Akash's child as well. Dev's mother had already been admitted several times in the hospital since Akash's death. Dev's father showed strength and resolution because that is what was required of him to keep the family strong, but age had caught up with him in the previous year, and even he wouldn't be able to bear such a big blow. And Bhumi, what about her? Dev knew that Bhumi was nowhere to be blamed in this matter. It wasn't unfair of Bhumi to want to go back and live with her parents; there was no future for her if she were to stay here.
