Chapter 6

Swayam wakes up with a pounding headache, he remembers his conversation with Taani last night and he feels like shit again. I can't lose her, I won't lose my baby sister. Determined to get his sister back, he goes and gets ready for college.

TaaRey

"Taani me niche hoon, tum ready ho?" Rey asks sitting in his car outside Taani's building, "Haan bas door lock karke aati hoo-" Taani's gag can be heard in the phone next. "Taani? Taani tum theek ho?" Rey gets worried and jumps out of his car goes and enters her flat, he sees the door open and hears flushing noise from the bathroom, he goes in and sees Taani on the bathroom floor, he kneels next to her, "Taani tum theek ho? Do you need to go to the dr? Kya puch rha hoon, we are going to the dr, come on" Rey says making Taani stand up, "Rey sans toh lo, and no I don't need to go to the dr rn, bas morning sickness he" saying this she goes towards the sink and washes her face and start brushing. "Oh, are you sure you are okay tho?" Rey asks still a tiny bit worried, Taani nods, smiling in the mirror at Rey's care. 

They come out of the bathroom and Taani picks up her fallen bag, "Chale college?" She asks, "Arey ruko, you puked your breakfast out right? Thoda khalo pehle fir nikalte he" saying this Rey tugs at Taani's hand and makes her sit on the dining table. "Rey mera bilkul man nai he abhi kuch khane ka, me baad me kha lungi na" Taani tries to make him understand, "Taani you can't roam around on empty stomach, kuch khana nai he toh thoda juice pi lo" Rey says and goes towards her fridge and takes out orange juice and pours it into a glass and hands it to her. Seeing him so caring towards her makes Taani emotional, "kya hua?" Rey asks looking at her a bit confused, "kuch nai bas hormones are turning me into a cry baby" Taani replies. "Isme hormones ki kya galti he, tum toh pehle se hi crybaby ho" Rey says with a smirk teasing her. 

"Me crybaby hoon huh?" Taani says making an angry face, "nataunki mat karo aur jaldi se yeh juice pi lo chalo" Rey says. After she finishes her juice they leave for college. 

They enter the college hand in hand, they walk towards their class and the gang (except Swayam) is already present there. Seeing Taarey together confuses the gang, "inka toh breakup ho gaya tha na?" Vicky says, "Sathme dekhke lag toh nai rha" Nil says. "Rey idhar betho" Sharon says looking at Rey.

"Aap unke sath bethiye me yaha beth jati hoon" Taani says while gesturing towards his friends, "Me tumhare sath beth rha hoon" he says looking at her, "Sharon me yaha theek hoon" he says smiling towards Sharon and takes a sit next to Taani. Taani is surprised but doesn't show it, Swayam enters and seeing Taani he goes straight towards her, "Taani, tu theek he?" Swayam asks, "Muje kya hua he" Taani says feeling a bit alarmed thinking did he find out about her pregnancy, even Rey feels a bit alarmed. "Nahi mera matlab toh ese hi generally puch rha tha" Swayam says sheepishly. Taani feels irritated, "Muje aapse baat nai karni he, itna nai samaj aata aapko?" hearing her Swayam feels bad and he is about to say something but the professor enters so he goes and takes a sit next Sharon. 

During the class Taani feels a bit guilty for talking to Swayam so rudely but thn remembers his behavior towards her which makes her angry again. Rey seeing Taani upset and not knowing what to do, grabs her hand and holds it under the table. The gang sees it, Sharon thinks yeh Rey kya kar rha he, parso toh itna terrified tha Taani aur uski pregnancy ko leke, shayad Taani baby abort karne ke liye maan gyi hogi. 

Swayam who also sees Taarey holding hands feels a bit uncomfortable and looks away

As soon as the bell rings, Taani is the first one out of her sit and seeing this Swayam also follows her out with the rest behind him. "Taani bachcha baat toh sun meri" Swayam grabs her elbow making her stop, "Hath chhodiye mera" Taani says furiously. 

Swayam doesn't let go tho, "nahi, tu mujse pehle baat kar, if you want to scream at toh scream at me, slap me if you so want to but please don't leave me like this Shona" hearing Swayam beg like this shocks everyone, "Kyun? Jab muje aapki zarurat thi tab aap the mere sath? Yeh na emotional drama mar karo and don't call me Shona" Taani says angrily. Sharon gets angry listening to Taani's words and seeing how they are hurting Swayam, "Taani yeh kya battameezi kar rhi ho tum Swayam ke sath" "Sharon" Rey and Swayam shout at the same time. Taani roughly tugs her hand away from Swayam's grip, "Toh ab aap muje sikhayengi ki muje apne bahi se kese baat karni he?" Taani says furiously, "Haan, can't you see how you are hurting him with your foolishness? Ek toh woh bina uski galti ke tumse itna mafi mang raha aur tum ek spoiled brat ki tarah behave kar rhi ho" Sharon retorts back. "Sharon bas, you don't have any right to talk to Taani like that, Taani uski baat mat sun, look at me, ghar chalna bachcha please" Swayam says looking at her, the gang and Sharon look at him shocked, he has never talked to Sharon so rudely before. 

"Me kahi nai ja rhi aapke sath, aur woh mera ghar nai he" Taani is getting worked up and seeing this Rey takes Taani's hand, "Taani shant ho jao, tumhe stress lene se mana kiya he na?" Rey says trying to calm her down. "Muje class ke liye late ho rha he, I am going" Taani says to Rey and leaves. "Taani sun toh-" Swayam gets interrupted by Rey, "Swayam give her some time, woh maan jayegi but tu agar use force karega toh woh aur bhadak jayegi" Rey tries to make him understand. "Aur agar nai maani toh?" Swayam says with tears in his eyes, seeing his condition the gang gets angry at Taani for making their friend this upset. 

"Yeh Taani ka kuch zyda nai ho rha? Uski wajah se Swayam even shouted at Sharon" Vicky says, "Haan nai toh kya, aur yeh Rey bhi uske piche piche bhag rha he subah se, Taani ne kuch toh kiya he warna woh toh usse breakup karna chahta tha" Simmi replies. "Sharon gusse m ghar chali gyi he aur Swayam bhi kitna udas lag rha he, yeh sab us sali ki wajah se ho rha he" Bharat says. "We have to do something about that girl, we aren't going to let her take away our friends" Vishakha says and the gang agrees with her. 

Singhania House

"Toh bataiye Ranvijay, kya urgent baat kehni thi tumko?" Rishi asks, "Rishi muje tumse Taani aur Rey ke baarein me baat karni he" Ranvijay replies, "Taani aur Rey? Tum Taani ko kese jante ho?" Rishi asks surprised, "Woh Rey mera beta he and Taani aur woh ek dusre ko pasand karte he" Ranvijay says. "WHAT?" Rishi shocked. Ranvijay fills him up on everything. 

"Rishi bhai muje pata he bachcho se bahot badi bhul ho gyi he, khas karke mere bete se per humme unhe abhi support karna chahiye, especially Taani ko, she has already gone thru so much aur uper se pregnancy complications" Rey's mom says, hearing the word pregnant and Taani together makes Rishi extremely uncomfortable but he even though he is angry at her he can't even imagine abandoning her and so agrees with Rey's mom. "Aap sahi keh rhi he Nainaji, but muje Taani ki bahot fikar ho rhi he", "Tu uski tension mat le, woh ab se humari bhi beti he aur hum use koi pareshani nai aane denge." Ranvijay says to Rishi, "Yaar mene kabhi nai socha tha ki college ke itne saalon baad hum ese milenge, hum ab samdhi banne wale he" Rishi and Ranvijay hug. Naina smiles looking at them. "Bachcho ko bula le?" she asks and they nod.

College 4PM

"Rey woh me aapse kehna bhul gyi thi, meri aaj 5 baje dr se appointment he for a regular checkup" Taani says to Rey, they are in the FE. "Arey koi baat nai, classes wese bhi khatam ho gyi he, chalo hum clinic hi chalte he aur fir waha se dinner karne" Rey gets a call from his mom asking him to come home with Taani, "Mom woh actually Taani ki dr appointment he 5 baje, hum waha se directly hi ghar aajayenge" and they end the call. "Chalein?" Rey stands and holds his hand for Taani to hold on to and they leave hand in hand. 

Clinic 

"Taani mene pehle bhi tumse kaha tha that your stress level is too high, you need to stop being so stressed or it won't be good for the baby" her dr says hearing this Rey and Taani both get tensed, "Is it really serious dr? What would you recommend? Also she can barely keep her food down, can't you give her some medicine for that?" Dr smiles hearing concern in Rey's voice. "I will recommend to do some meditation exercises and to try not to be in stressful situations. You have to take extra care of your wife Mr Singhania and yes I will prescribed you some med for the puking" Dr says, hearing the wife word makes Taani blush and Rey smiles like an idiot. "Don't worry dr, I will take care of her." "Dekhiye me aapko darana nahi chahti but too much stress can result in a miscarriage" hearing this both get shocked. They leave the clinic, "Taani tum please kisi cheez ka stress mat lo, mene kaha he na me sab sambhal lunga" Rey says worriedly "I will try not to Rey, I don't want to lose our baby" Taani says with tears in her eyes, "We aren't going to lose our baby okay, esi baatein socho bhi mat, we are going to have the most perfect daughter, just like you" Rey says as they sit in his car, "Beti kyun? Beta kyun nai?" Taani asks, "Kyunki ladke bahot shararti hote he and wese bhi muje tumhari jesi beti chahiye, tumhe beta chahiye?" Rey asks, hearing Rey talk so affectionately makes Taani happy beyond her imagination. "Muje bas ek healthy baby chahiye" they smile looking at eachother.

'ringring' "Mom ka call hoga, zara utha lo" Rey says while focusing on the road, "Sharon ka he" Taani says in a small voice. "Lao, doh muje" he parks the car on the side and picks up the call "Haan sharon, kuch kaam tha?" Rey says a bit dryly as he is still upset with Sharon's behavior towards Taani in morning. "Kuch kaam ho toh hi call karsakti hoon me tumhe?" Sharon says irritated, "Sharon me aur Taani abhi clinic se aaye he, we are both tired, me tumse kal baat karta hoon" and Rey hangs up the call, he starts the car and they go to his house.

Sharon pov, I think Taani got the abortion, well atleast Rey toh happy hoga but poor Taani having to have gone through this. I will call Rey later ask how she is. Wese bhi pata nai usse mujse kya problem he, she talks so rudely to me. 

Singhania house

"Yeh toh Tauji ki car he" Taani says scared, "Taani what did we just talk about you stressing? Mene kaha he na ki me sab sambhal lunga, tum tension mat karo" saying this he takes her hand and goes into his house. "Taani" Rishi says and hearing his voice Taani tries to hide behind Rey.
