Chapter 9

"Taani tu theek he?" Swayam asks as they walk towards their class, "Haan bhai, umm can I ask something?" Taani says nervously. "Puch na", "Do you think Rey is happy? I mean aapko lagta he ki woh regret karenge going against his friends?". "Yeh tum seedhe Rey se kyun nai puch leti?" Rey says from behind Swayam and Taani, "Rey I-", "Taani I love you, I love our baby, I want to spend the rest of my life with YOU. Isn't that enough? If they are my real friends thn they will stand by me and if they don't thn I guess its their loss" Rey says shrugging his shoulders. Taani and Swayam both can see how hard Rey is trying to be nonchalant, how hurt he is by his friends words but they don't want to upset him more so they don't comment on his fake smile.

"Its more thn enough, I love you too Rey-", Taani is interrupted by Swayam's awkward coughing. "Haan haan, class chalo warna yeh yahi vomit kar dega sala", Rey says drily pointing towards Swayam, "Sala kise bol rha he tu?" Swayam retorts back, "kal shadi ho rhi he meri teri behen se, tuje sala nai toh kya bulaun?" They bicker and enter the class. The trio take a seat with Taani in the middle and the gang comes in seeing Taani smiling at her bf and brothers antic, "zara dekho toh ise, ese behave kar rhi jese iski wajah se humara pura group lad nai rha" Vicky says bitterly, "babu Taani is pregnant, we shouldn't be mean to her rn Neha thinks" Neha says.

"Muje toh lag rha he ki she did this intentionally taki yeh Rey ko fasa sake" Vishakha mutters, "guys please can we just take a seat" Sharon says and they all take a seat, seeing the gang makes Swayam and Rey angry at their earlier behavior while Taani feels a little guilty thinking because of her they are all fighting.

After class, they all walk out, Taani, Swayam and Rey in front, the gang hears them talk, "Shona canteen chalte he", "Nai na bhai, subah itna sara khaya tha, ab nai khaya jayega kuch bhi" Taani whines, "ese kese nai khaya jayega, you need to have something every few hours, ese muh mat banao aur chalo" Rey says and they drag her to the canteen.

The gang is sitting at a different table stealing glances at the trio, "Swayam woh VP sir ne kaha he ki the exchange students are arriving on Monday, we will have to show them around.", "Haan I got the msg too, Taani don't play with your food" Swayam says looking at Taani disapprovingly, "bhai ab nai khaya jayega na" Taani pouts, "theek he bas yeh juice khatam karlo fir hum ek class bachi he woh attend karke ghar chalte he" Swayam says pushing the juice glass towards her.

"Woh actually muje kuch kaam he, toh tu aur Taani meri gadi leke chale jana, yeh le keys, me tum logo ko baad milta hoon" Rey says handing the keys to Swayam, "aapko kya kaam he?" Taani asks, "Kal ke liye tumhari Taiji tumhare liye toh kapde le aayi but muje mere liye bhi kuch lena padega na? And mom ne kuch aur cheeze bhi mangwayi he" Rey replies. "Toh tu gadi ke bina yeh sare kaam kese karega?" Swayam asks, "arey yaar tum itne sawal kyun puchte ho? Kar lunga na me manage" Rey says a bit irritatedly, "theek he dude, itna chhid kyun rha he?" Swayam asks, "me kaha chhid rha, tu chhid rha he" saying this Rey gets up and quickly kisses Taani on her forehead and runs before Swayam can react.

Taani is looking at Rey's retreating figure with wide eyes, "yeh kisi din bahot maar khane wala he mere hatho" Swayam mutters and hearing him Taani blushes. "Class ke liye chale?" They both leave.

Swayam and Taani get back to their house in the evening at 7pm, Tauji and Taiji had gone out for a dinner with Rey's parents, Swayam goes to his room and Taani to her's.

Taani opens her door and finds a bouquet of roses on her bed, with a dress laying down next to it with a note, she quickly picks the note up,

'Wear this dress and up come on the terrace, aur haan apne bhai se zara chhupke aana' ~Rey

Taani smiles reading the note, she quickly looks at the dress which is an blue anarkali similar to the one she had worn on their first date. She changes and quietly goes to the terrace, the terrace door is open.

The sight infront of her surprises her....



Rey is standing next to the marry me balloons, seeing her walk in freezes him, he gets lost in her beauty.....

"Rey?" Hearing her snaps him out of it, he quickly gets down on his knee and pulls out the box of ring, "will you do me the honor of calling you my wife for the rest of my life?" Taani has tears in her eyes and she just gets on her knees and hugs him tightly. "yes, a million times yes, I love you Rey!"

Rey closes his eyes and a small tear roll down his cheek, he breaks the hug and makes Taani wear the ring and thn kisses her with passionately to she responds back with same intensity.

Rey breaks the kiss slowly and makes Taani stand up, he picks her up in bridal style walks her towards the mattress setup and lays her down without breaking their eye contact.

They make love with the stars as witness to their passion.....

Short note
