Part 14

"Paapa..." Swayum dropped his bag and just ran and hugged Rishi who was lost in thoughts looking out the window. Rey stood at the door.

Rishi turned and hugged him tight. Tears were running down from both eyes.

"Paapa... voh... voh mere saane hi the... but mujhe.. patha nahi chala.. voh... voh.. mere apne maa aur behan..." Swayum's words were breaking. On seeing his father he again lost it and break down...

Rishi kept silent but nodded his head with tears in his eyes and patting Swayum's shoulder...

"I want them back paapa... I will bring them back..." Swayum said to him

"Beta mei tumse yeh bhi keh nahi saktha ki mujhe maaf kardo, kyuki mei jaantha hai ki mei iske laayak nahi hai... voh sab kuch hone ke baad mei yaha nahi rahna chaahtha tha.. aur mujhme itne gussa aur nafrat tha Kushboo se that I never wanted to let her find you and come near you in any way, so even I changed your name from Ansh to Swayum... Mei toh itna heartless tha that meine sach jaanne ki koshish bhi nahi kiya. Ab mei uski puri nafrat ka laayak hai. Its all my fault." Saying this he broke down.

Swayum looked at him

"Paapa, ab yeh sab baatein karne se koi fayada nahi hai, Past is that have happened and we cant go back and change it. So now we have to look forward to present what can we do do erase the shadows and wounds of the past. we will woo them back.. mujhe pura barosa hai." Swayum said determined. Rishi patted his shoulders in tears. 

Thats when Rishi saw Rey standing at the door. He was looking down. Feeling a gaze at him he looked up and saw Rishi looking at him, but his guilt was not making him to meet Rishi's eyes, whatever the thing is, he is Taani's father.

Rey entered inside 

"Uncle I can understand what you might be thinking, I know for my deeds I can never seek forgiveness... But, I can rectify that, I will woo her back, I promise I will keep her happy till I close my eyes forever, and we will have a happy life with our baby (Rishi looked at him). Believe me uncle I am not doing this out of any sympathy or just a rectification of my mistake, but out of love. I Love Taani with all my heart." Rey said 

Rishi had a weak smile.

"mei bhi kon hu beta to forgive you, even I have done similar mistake. You know, mujhe nahi pata tha mera ek beti hai, aur mei ek baar bhi nahi dekha use, and now when everything is in front of me, sabkuch bigad gaya hai, my little girl is married and is going to be a mom soon... i missed her birth, each and every moment of her growth, pampering her, along with that Swayum too had missed his sister.. all because of my fault, its good that unlike me, you decided to rectify it before its too late. I wish tumhe aise dard na sahna pade, jab apne wife aur bache ko hamesha keliye kho jaye. I know tum aise nahi hone doonga. mein tumhare saath hai. I can completely understand you that whats going inside you. I trust you" Rishi said

Swayum came to them and Rishi hug both. 

"Swayum, I want to see my little girl." Rishi said as he was restless to see her once the moment he come to know about her.

"Haa, Paapa, I will take you there" Swayum said

"Par Khushboo.." Rishi doubted

"Let us see" Swayum.

Swayum took out his mobile a took Taani's picture and showed it to him.

"Paapa just look, bilkul maa ki tarah hai.., koi nahi keh saktha she is a soon-to-be-mom." Swayum said. Rey smiled.

"Meri beti" Rishi traced his fingers through the photo. Tears rolled down from his eyes.

****************

Taani was lying in her mother's lap all tired in crying, Kushboo is also in tears. 

"Taani its not good for you to cry like this, go and fresh up" Kushboo said and Taani went to fresh up. Kushboo decided to talk to Rey.

Door bell Rings.

Kushboo open the door only to see Swayum

"Swayum tum... kya hua" She asked in concern. But Swayum was silent. He just stared at her. 

"Okay come inside" She felt strange and told to come in and turned.

"MAA...!!!!!" 

Kushboo stopped in her tracks, she just froze for a moment. And turned slowly.

"MAA.." Swayum call her again with unshead tears in his eyes. Her heart started to beat fast. This is not a dream. The she saw Rishi and Rey standing behind him. Rishi patted Swayum's shoulder.

"An... Ansh.." She called, tears started to fall from her eyes. Swayum nodded his head in yes.

She saw a 9 months old baby smiling at her...

She just ran to him, caress his face, kissed all over his face and hugged him like her life depends on him and so tight that she is not going to let him go again. 

"My Baby.." She said and was crying

"Mein itni buri maa hai ki apni beta saame khade hote bhi pehchaan na paayi.." She broke the hug and said cupping his face

"Nahi maa... please aap ro mat" Swayum said wiping her tears.

Thats when Taani came down and was shocked to see the scene. 

"Bhai..." These words came out her mouth.

Everyone looked at her direction. Khusboo went to her in happiness 

"Taani.. Ansh.. tumhara bhai..." Kushboo said, her words were breaking

"Ansh...?" Taani was confused and shocked.

"Haa Taani. And apni maa ko maaf kar do that I never said you have an elder brother. because even I never knew if I can find him and I dont want to hurt you more." Khusboo said.

"I know maa, i can understand you." She said in tears but with a smile

She ran to him and hugged him. He placed a kiss on her forehead. After a while they broke the hug and khushboo  was continuously talking and was asking what he will love to eat and all... and went to kitchen to make something special for him. 

Taani smile, thats when she saw Rey standing outside.  

"Beta.." She turned to see the man standing near Rey and swayum. He was having tears in his eyes, words was not coming out of his mouth... rey understood this.

"Taani, tumhare paapa" Rey said looking at her. 

"Paapa..?" Taani said questioningly looking at Rishi, then at Swayum. He nodded his head in yes.

She took slow steps near him.

He just cupped her face and pulled her in a hug, Taani was too shocked to hug back.

"But yeh sab kuch kaise..?" Taani was still in shock and confused as today also Swayum was with her while returning back and what happened in some hours. Swayum understood her and told her everything.

"Mujhe.. mei... mera galthi hai yeh sab and tumhe uska saza mila. mujhe pata nahi mei kaise tumse maafi maangu." He broke the hug and said holding her both hands.

"Nahi paapa... jo hona tha hogaya.. aap mujhse sorry mat bolo, I always felt need of you with us when we were having tough times. But maa kabhi bhi aapke baare mei nahi baat ki aur nahi kaha that I have a brother too. There was time I was angry at you even sometimes at maa tooo, but even if I never see you also, I loved you paapa, and still I wanted you and bhai with us. All these yeas we are apart, and now when got made us meet means, we have to be together. and yeh naraaz se phir bhi hum door hi rahonge and mei voh nahi chaahtha, and the truth is mein kisi se bhi naaras nahi hai, na aapse aur maa se. Now all I want is us together forever." Taani said.

rishi hugged her and kissed her forehead.

"Aap chalo andar.." Taani looked at Rishi and said without even glancing at Rey and that hurt him a lot.

"No." Khoshboo shouted as she came to call Swayum and Rey inside she saw Taani calling Rishi inside.

"You cant. And i will not let you take any of my children away from me." Khushboo said looking away.

"Maa please stop this... aise naaraz mat kijiye, i want my family. please maa mere liye." Taani pleaded.

"No Taani, uski galthi hai sa.." Khushboo was about to say.

"Haa maa, hoti hai galti sabse. Paapa se galti huyi hai, and he admit it. Aur maa paapa ki tarah aap bhi same galthi ki hai. Paapa ne bina sach jaan ne ke koshish karke aapko chod diya, Aur aap bina sach jaane Rey se revenge kiya." Both Khushboo and Rishi was silent now. Khushboo know Taani is right. She had done the same mistake Rishi have done. So she dont have the right to blame him. Because of her mistake her daughter is still suffering.

"Taani tum bhi yeh galti kar rahi hai, as bina sah jaane, you are pushing me away. And i cant blame you too, bcz i have done the same, without trying to know anything, I too destroyed your life, badi galti hui hai mujhse. But I will woo you back Taani" Rey said in mind. 

"Taani its not easy for me... I need some time.." Khusboo said finally, as now again she dont want to hurt her children.

"Kushboo take your time. I will wait for you."  Rishi said. Kushboo just turned away and tears were running down from her eyes. Rishi went and sat in his car.

"Swayum I think I should leave too" Rey said looking at Taani.

"Reyansh tum bhi aavo aur dinner karo." Khushboo said as she also wanted to talk to him.

"No maam, its mom-son-daughter time. You people need this. and its okay. Swayum see you at college" Rey said and went without looking at Taani. She felt a little pain.

Rishi was about to start the car, but Rey came that time and went with him.
