Author's POV
TaaReyAnsh were standing in the living room of the house ready to leave for Delhi. The whole gang was present there to see them off. They hugged everyone, Rey hugged his father but before he could break the hug, he heard his father whispering,
"Take care of her Rey. She is a great girl, I hope you know that and realise that soon."
Rey looked at his father confused why he was saying all this right now but shrugged it off before hugging his mother. Taani too hugged them and they patted her head giving her blessings. Both of them hugged Ansh tightly as they were going to miss their grandson a lot. Rey embraced everyone in the gang and Taani too did at last finally moving to Swaron, Swayam kept his hand on her head saying,
"Apna dhyaan rakhna, and time to time call me."
Taani nodded and hugged him then turned to Sharon, Sharon smiled brightly and embraced her whispering,
"Take care, and jitna ho sake utna romance karna, vaha pe meri tarah disturb karne vala koi ni hoga."
She winked at Taani at the end making her pass a small smile to Sharon. She looked at Rey awkwardly before thr trio settled in the car and the driver drove off to the airport. Ansh was sitting in Rey's lap playing with his glares. Their was silence inside the car which was broken by Ansh,
"Mumma!"
A big smile graced her lips, she can never have enough of hearing mumma from his lips. Smiling brightly she took him in her arms and said,
"Yes my baby?"
He showed Rey's glares to her and she said taking them away,
"Yeh dadda ke hai Ansh, aapko isse lag jaegi. C'mon give it dadda."
Ansh looked at his mother, then the glares before looking at Rey who was curious to know what he will do, will he listen to Taani or not. Ansh smiled brightly at his mother before forwarding Rey's glare to him. Rey was amused seeing him, he listened to her just once, he is surely mumma's boy. Taani giggled seeing the amusement on Rey's face,
"Can't believe he listened to you so easily. Hum mein se kisi ne bola hota to kabhi nahi manta baat."
Taani giggled again saying,
"Yeah! Because he loves me the most, right jaan?"
Ansh looked at his mother and hugged her laying his head on her shoulder,
"Mumma!"
Her heart burst in joy hearing him, she looked at Rey hesitating and said,
"Thank you Reyansh!"
He frowned at her,
"For what?"
She smiled at him softly,
"For teaching Ansh how to say Mumma."
He was shocked about how did she know,
"Tumhe kese pata?"
And her answer made him smile widely at her,
"There's no one else who could have done this apart from you. It means a lot, the best gift ever. Thank you so much!"
He shook his head smiling at her softly,
"You don't need to, in fact I should thank you, for the gift you did for Ansh. Having his name tattooed is a big thing, thanks for treating him as your son rather than step-son."
Taani too shook her ehad,
"Ansh hamesha mera beta rahega. He won't ever be my step-son, chahe fir bade hokar he comes to know I am his step-mother and he thinks of me that way but mere liye he is my first child."
Rey hesitatingly kept his hand on hers and said,
"Ansh ke liye bhi humesha tum uski mother hogi, fir chahe usse sach pata ho ya na ho. I am sure about it, you know why?"
She looked at him waiting for him to continue,
"Because Ansh me bhale hi blood Lavanya ka ho but usme values, love and teachings tumhare honge. Or mujhe pata hai, he would be the best son and a very nice person at the same time a loving and caring individual just because he got you as his mother."
Her smile widened hearing him, she tried to look away from him but couldn't. Their gazes were locked when the driver bought them back to the real world.
"Sir, we have reached the airport."
Rey nodded and got out, Taani followed him, they checked in with their boarding pass and went towards the private boarding area. Completing all the formalities they boarded Singhania's private jet and soon in a couple of hours they landed in Delhi. Taarey came out of the airport where already a car was waiting for them, sitting inside he asked the driver to take them to their house,
"We have a house here in Delhi?"
Taani asked him confused and Rey nodded at her,
"Yeah, we use it for long business trips. Can't live in a hotel for three months."
Taani nodded, all this while Rey noticed she again went back into her sheel even after the heartfelt convo between them in the car previously. He sighed before they finally reached their destination. Taani's smile came back when she saw the house in middle of a neighbourhood just like typical Delhi. It was smaller than their Mumbai one, but it was beautiful.
Getting out of the car taarey walked towards the gate with Ansh in his arms. Rey rang the bell and a man in his late fifties opened the gate.
"Namaste kaka!"
Rey said and bend down to take his blessings, the man blessed him saying,
"Rey baba, aaiye. Aapke aane ki khabar mil gayi thi."
The trio walked in and Kaka looked at Ansh in Rey's arms, he blessed him keeping his hand on his head.
Ansh looked at Taani who showed him what to do and joined his hand in front of Kaka seeing Taani making taarey smile proudly. Rey introduced both of them,
"Taani ye kaka hain, he looks after the house and kaka ye Taani hain, meri biwi."
Taani joined her hands in greeting and bend down to take his blessings, Kaka blessed her too when Rey asked,
"Kaka room ready hai?"
He nodded at Rey,
"Haan baba, jese hi aapke aane ki khabar mili, maine pura ghar saaf karwa diya tha. Or kamre bhi theek karwa diye the."
"Thank you kaka! Hamara luggage please aap kisi se kehkar room mein rakhwa dijiye.Chalo Taani."
Rey thanked him and asked Taani to follow him, they climbed the staircase and entered their room which was right across the hall. Taani was looking at the house, admiring it. It was designed so beautifully. Everything was just perfect. TaareyAn entered the room while the servant kept their luggage. Rey said gesturing to her,
"So wifey, welcome to our new room. Kesa laga?"
She just nodded looking around but something else was going in her mind, she saw a butler passing by and stopped him asking,
"Is any other room clean in the house?"
Both butler and Rey looked at her confused, the butler nodded at her,
"Yes mam, iske sath vala room khali hai."
Taani nodded and said pointing to her bags,
"Ye suitcase please uss room mein rakh dijiye."
Rey frowned hearing her, making Ansh sit on the bed comfortably he stopped the butler who was going to follow Taani's order,
"Ruko! You leave! I'll call you if I want something."
The butler threw a last gaze at Taani before walking off, once he was out of earshot, Rey looked at Taani confused,
"Why did you ask him to transfer your luggage into the other room, ye room pasand nahi aaya?"
She tried looking anywhere but him,
"Nahi aisa nahi hai. Vo I realised yahan sirf hum dono hai, there is no need to pretend in front of anyone. Isliye I will be living in the other room, aap yahan Ansh ke sath reh sakte hai."
Pain flashed his features hearing her, he hated the fact that she didn't even want to share a room with him. He thought everything was alright when they talked in the car. Shaking his head he gained his composure saying,
"Well uski need nahi hai, you are living here with us in this room."
Taani frowned,
"Main aapse puch nahi rahi thi, I was telling you. I will live in other room."
Anger coursed through his veins and he shouted,
"Even I am not asking you. You are living in this room, END OF DISCUSSION."
She scoffed before walking towards her luggage and picking it up she started dragging I towards the gate, Rey closed his eyes trying to calm down his temper as Ansh was in the same room as them, but she was surely testing it. Without a word he walked to her and snatched the luggage from her hand startling her and walked to the walk in closet before dumping the bags there, she growled in anger,
"What the hell do you think you are doing? Let me go!"
He tried to calm his anger counting slowly under his breath and thought mentally,
Calm down Rey! I know tujhe gussa aa raha hai, but gusse se problem ka solution nahi niklega. Taani won't agree. You have to instigate her to make her stay here.
Deciding on what he wants to do, he asked her,
"Why do you wanna stay in other room?"
She huffed,
"As if you don't know, I don't want to stay in the same room as yours. Mumbai mein mere pass choice nahi thi coz I wouldn't want to hurt mom dad but yahan I am not living with you."
He looked at her, her words were slowly piercing his heart but he controlled looking at her angry figure standing there folding her hands on her chest, he copied her posture ssarcastically smiling at her and asked,
"Really, kyu? Well, mujhe pata hai why you don't wanna stay with me in same room."
He trailed of while she raised her brows questioningly, he shrugged,
"You are scared if you will stay alone with me here, you won't be able to control yourself and start developing feelings for me, you will start accepting this marriage, isn't it?"
Her head snapped in his direction, he was smirking while she just stood there frozen at his words, she was shocked that he even said this, and didn't knew how to respond to that because somewhere he was right, she was trying to protect herself. He started walking towards her taking slow steps and stood closer to her asking in a whisper,
"Bolo na wifey, am I right or am I right?"
She looked anywhere but him and said trying to sound convincing,
"Aisa kuch nahi hai."
"Aisa hi hai."
He countered back, she glared at him and shouted,
"Nahi!"
"Haan!"
"Nahi!
"Haani!"
"NO!"
"YES!"
Their voices increased while shouting not even remembering Ansh was there, when he saw his parents shouting he got scared and started crying loudly gaining the couple's attention and stopping their fight. Taarey panicked and rushed towards him forgetting their fight. Rey picked him up in his arms trying to shush him while Taani stood closer to them rubbing Ansh's back and hugging his little body slightly. They tried to calm him down, he looked at his parents with tear filled big eyes, they felt bad for fighting in front of him and scaring him, they were hugging his small body when Ansh held his father's index finger, enclosing his small hand around it and from the other hand held Taani's index finger before bringing them together and making them touch slightly.
Taarey looked at their touching hands along with Ansh's small ones and then at their baby. Guilt surfaced in them, they were seriously fighting when their one year old child was sitting with them. Rey enclosed both Taani's and Ansh's small hands in his large one startling her. He said kissing Ansh's hand who was a little calm now and resting his head on Rey's shoulder,
"I am sorry baby, Dadda won't fight with your mumma from now on. I promise. Not atleast in front of you."
He looked at Taani, she assessed his words and nodded kissing Ansh's head,
"Mumma bhi, I promise!"
And kissed his head again at the same time Rey did too holding Ansh close to their hearts. Unknowingly the string that held them together is Ansh which won't let the string break or entangle even a bit.
