3x15: I'll be right beside you
Rana was in her room, her face buried in the pillow. She sighed, turning to look at the doorway when she heard footsteps.
"I brought आप some food", Jasper whispered as he handed her a burrito. "I know how आप like these."
"I do", Rana कहा softly as she took a bite with a tired smile on her face. "Thank you."
Jasper bit his lip before speaking: "You're leaving?"
"I am", Rana nodded. "I'm sorry. I know आप don't want me to. But it's what's right for me. It's what I have to do in order to... to be who I am."
Jasper कहा nothing for a while, just stared into अंतरिक्ष until he sighed: "Yeah, I know."
Rana blinked. She had been waiting for resistance. "Just like that?"
"Just like that", Jasper said. "You see, I've spent years chasing you", he smiled. "And it's all been worth it. But now I finally see that... if we're meant to be together, just like Atie and Liam and Robb and Rachel are, we will be together. In time. But for now", he took her hand, giving her a sad smile. "I'm letting आप go."
Rana blinked back her tears, giving him a shaky smile. "It doesn't mean I don't प्यार you", she whispered. She wished she had the strength to say the actual words to him. But he knew. Of course he knew.
"I know that", Jasper said, holding her hand tight. He let out a tired laugh. "I think I've always known that." He looked at her. "And just because I'm letting आप go, it doesn't mean I don't प्यार you, too. It doesn't mean I want आप to go."
Rana nodded, smiling sadly as Jasper came to press a किस to her forehead. "Goodbye."
A few days later Atie and Liam were packing their bags, getting ready to head to college.
"We'll see them again for the wedding, and way before, too", Liam कहा as he basically had to carry her to the car. "Stop feeling nostalgic."
"I can't help it", Atie groaned, sitting in the shotgun seat, staring out of the window at Robb's (and now Rachel's, too) apartment building. "I'll miss them all."
"And we will see them again", Liam कहा as he started the car.
"Do आप think your parents will be okay with this?" Atie asked.
"If they won't, I don't care", Liam shrugged. "But yeah, I do. They're my parents, after all."
Atie smiled. "I'm really glad I didn't let आप get on that plane that day."
"And I'm really glad I didn't go on that plane that day", Liam smirked.
Atie chuckled, taking his hand in hers and चुंबन it. "I प्यार you. And I'm gonna make आप happy, Liam."
"You already have", Liam said, giving her a quick किस before turning his eyes back to the road. Now they could finally be happy, together. Just like they had wanted for such a long time.
Rana, Atie, and Rachel were standing in the airport. It felt a bit like deja-vu.
“I can’t believe you’re leaving again?” Atie said.
Rana smiled, “Hey, this time you’re leaving too.” Rana smirked.
Rachel groaned, “Ugh, don’t remind me. Both my sisters are going to be gone.”
Rana laughed, “Well, at least now आप have wedding planning and a man to keep आप occupied.” Rana winked.
Rachel laughed, “True. Speaking of, two months on the 17th, Scotland. आप better be there.”
Rana laughed, “Do आप really think I’ll miss your wedding? Besides I'm maid of honor.”
“Hey, not fair!” Atie screamed. “I’m maid of honor!”
“Oh my god.” Rachel laughed, “Both of आप idiots are maid of honor! Happy?”
“I’m actually going to miss both of you.” Rana smiled.
“I’m gonna miss आप like crazy. और than पिज़्ज़ा, पिज्जा when I’m hungry.”
Rana smiled and hugged her little sister.
“Did आप talk to Jasper?” Rachel asked.
“Um, in the hospital and I texted him before I left. It’s just easier that way.” Rana कहा shrugging her shoulder.
Rachel nodded her head, “Mary Margaret and David?”
“They seem to be doing good. They named the girl Sophia.” Rana smiled. “They कहा I could see her anytime I was ready, but आप know….”
“Yeah.” Rachel nodded her head. “Well, everything is going to work out eventually.”
“Sure.” Rana कहा smiling not really believing her. She then heard her plane being called. “Well, I need to get going.” she smiled. “Rach, don’t be too much of a freak and Atie study hard but have fun too, okay? Bye” She कहा giving both her sisters one last hug. “Love आप both.”
“Bye.” Rachel and Atie कहा waving to their sister.
Rachel sighed walking into her and Robb’s apartment. Robb smiled when he saw her and Rachel sat down अगला to him on the सोफ़ा, सोफे sighing.
“How are you?” Robb asked.
“Both my sisters are off to college and on their own.” Rachel smiled. “I can’t believe how fast things changed.”
Robb laughed, “Yeah. So I talked to my father today.”
“Uh oh.” Rachel half joked. “How was that?”
“He was really happy for us.” Robb smiled. “And he’s so excited for the wedding and to have another daughter.” He laughed.
Rachel smiled, “That’s great.” She then hesitated, “And your mother?”
Robb smiled, “Well, I’m not going to lie and say she’s ecstatic या anything, but she did agree to come to the wedding and be nice.” Robb laughed.
Rachel laughed with him, “Well, that’s a start.”
“Yeah.” Robb smiled. “I’m really happy.”
“Good.” Rachel smiled, “Because me too.”
