Important Background Information:

This FF started as a predication at the Vivaah forum. Soon I turned into an FF and people started liking it.

I decided to move it here bcz the show is ending; hence the forum closing, so better off here in case I continue..

Well anways, this story is about this lovely couple Tanya and Raj. Their love evolved after much complications.

Meet Raj (Yuvraj Malhotra) -- A foreign business man from Canada. His entry was made as the guy who was suppose to marry and fall in love with Trishna (Tanya's sister). Eventually he did fall for her and she fell for him. Things get in a mess, his non-related brother comes to India. Turns out he is the owner of the company and Raj only a mere employee. Because of this the mother is enraged and refuses to accept Raj-Trish relationship.

Meet Tanya -- A simple, innocent, loving, desi girl. She is the perfect daughter, sister, and all around person. With that kind of aura she was bound to attract trouble; and she does. A local gunda-- Kahniayah "falls" for her and tries everything to get her to himself. One night he rapes her and forces to announce this unless she marries him.

Meet TAAJ (The couple) -- Tanya and Raj became friends, best friends in fact while the Raj-Trish love circle. He helped her so much. He's stood up to the gunda from time to time because he cares for her. When he found out Tanya's rape and how she planned to marry him. he comes and beats him and marries Tanya. Now we find Tanya pregnant as a result of the rape; but Raj won't let that ruin her, he promises to care for her and the baby as his own.

-:LOVE BLOOMS:: PART ONE:-

Tanya and Yuv are out shopping maternity clothes. Around the corner of the store we see Kaniayah he thinks I don't why or how but something or someone brought me here, and I'm going to find out right now. Back inside the store Yuv gets a call, he tells Tanya brb, at the same moment he walks away K comes in smiling. Tanya finds something she likes and puts it in front of her, K sees her and grins walks over and hugs her from the behind. Tanya says raj tum kya kar rahai ho...and turns around, she goes black&white and backs away and bumps into the rack, she starts hyperventilating and says tum? he reaches for her and she shrieks don't touch me! He replies how could be away from you now? we're even more connected than before; more than I ever imagined us could be so soon. Raj comes back; he goes black&white Kah. says pranaam raj bhaiyah! yuv gets furious, he says tum! Kah says ha main hoon. Yuv shouts at him to get away from his wife. He says you have no right; tumhari biwi is carrying MY baby. Yuv is disgusted, saying that will never be your baby, ever, not as long as I live, and I swear you will not touch one hair on MINE AND TANYA'S BABY! Kah says well your death can be arranged and I and Tanya can live with OUR baby meaning Tanya's and mine. yuv is about to punch kah and he is about to punch yuv; Tanya yells for them to stop. Tanya yells at kah: how dare you come back, maybe you didn't learn your lesson before, and don't you dare touching raj ever or no one will be worse as me. yuv is shocked. she says it's me you want, so leave raj alone. I won't stand anyone saying or even looking at him badly, he like bhagwan to me. Yuv is shocked, he tries to come in between Tanya and Kahniayah in a protective stance ready to save Tanya if he's required to (with his sexy serious intent on his face). Tanya: "Nahi Raj, aaj mein Kahnaiyah ko sabaq seekhaungi" Kahniyah chuckles "Sabaq kya, mein toh kuch bhi kar suck ta hoon tumhare liya Tanya, you got me wrapped up around your fingers" Yuv grimaces, he has the urge to shout out but from the corner of his eyes he sees Tanya step up, angry as fuhh. he decides to let Tanya continue, if anything comes close to being dangerous for Tanya he'll rescue her out to safety. Tanya "don't you think what you've done is plenty? enough is enough! do you have no limits? morals? well let me tell you, I won't stand back anymore, I've had it up to here with you! do you honestly think I'm going to let you come back and ruin my life now that things are getting good? you must be out of your mind! get out here, disappear out of my life forever, this is your last chance, because this is the last of nice Tanya you'll ever see" yuv is surprised; Kahniyah is amused and smiling, he puts his hands up and says "oh I'm scared, Tanya don't beat me up, no please spear me, I promise ill change" and laughs. Tanya is boiling with anger, she cant hold it in any longer and goes up to kahniyah and kicks him in his "man business" He goes down in pain yelping "What you've done is wrong Tanya, you can't leave me, we're meant to be, even bhagwan can't break us, so why are you and your "pati" trying to separate us? tum jo bhi karo, I'll come back again remember that, yeh mera vaada hai. I'll get you back Tanya, very soon too, watch me! Yuv can't take it anymore he shouts out "tum Tanya ko kuch bhi nahi karonge, suna? kuch bhi nahi!" people stare at them. Tanya comes up next to Yuv "Raj, calm down, mein handle karti hoon" Kahniyah gets up; out of reflex Yuv pulls Tanya back, She comes back up "Raj you've done so much for me, I think I can handle this one on my own please" and moves 2 steps more forward. She gives kahniyah the evil eye, to that he replies Tanya mein tumko fight nahi karna chata, mein to sirf tumney layne aaya hoon, haven't you missed me one bit" Tanya sort of snarls and shrieks "NO! How could you even mistake such a thought, your a janwaar! Who could miss you, who can care about you, or even simply like your presence?" kahniyah "why are you talking to me like that, after that wonderful night we had (rape flashbacks)... he looks at her and says your caring our child don't forget that, that's our "pyaar" ki nishani...and reaches to touch her face...but yuv stops his hand "Don't you dare touch her! Don't you even look at her! If you mess with even just one little piece of hair on Tanya's head, may god have mercy on you! Because nothing can stop me from finishing you off" Tanya looks at him awed and shocked. Kahniyah says "waah kya show, kitna pyaar kartay ho tum tanya ko" they both look at each other embarrassed and then back at kahnaiya, he continues "it's a crime and now your going to pay for it.." goes to punch yuv but yuv again stops him, yuv says "last time kuch learn nahi kiya? phir lesson aapu tumko? if that's what you want here'" he punches his gut, kahniyah staggers back. more crowd forms "kabhi learn karta nahi, kyu?" punches his eye. the manager comes and asks what's going on? he comes through and looks at the three, he shouts for security and tells them to kick them out, he will not allow such violence, especially in a maternity store, where mothers and there child can hurt. Before going their separate ways he threatens for his return.

Back at home, Trish is waiting anxiously for Yuv, Rajdeep once again shouted out at her about trust issues and she has to find out what he's hiding. She hears the door open and runs there, Yuv's home! She see he's not alone, oh yeah him and Tanya went shopping, how could she forget! She asks them how did it go? They look at each other as if something happened and not something good either. She asks them what happened, they looked at each other and Yuv said nothing. Trish is suspicious but she'll save that for later right now she has rajdeep issues to figure out, but she can't be rude in front of Tanya. She tells her sis she wants to see what they bought (it was a good thing Tanya had found some outfits before Kahnaiyah ruined there afternoon!) while Tanya is showing her outfits Trish hints Yuv that she needs to talk to him and he nods. He tells Tanya to go lay down, she's had a tiring day. She nods Ok Raj.

As she turns to walk to her room, she stumbles into the sofa and trips. Yuv watches this in slow motion and runs to her, catching her mid-fall. They stare for a minute, interrupted by Trishna clearing her throat. Both blush and then Yuv helps Tanya up. Raj asks Tanya "Tum theek toh ho naa?" Tanya is lost in her thoughts, hears Yuv say something "Huh?" So Yuv asks again "Are you okay?" Tanya replies "Ha, mein woh sofa nahi dekha" Yuv looks at her worried and thinks she's been through so much and she is just beginning to learn how to smile again. Now all the sudden yeh Kahnaiyah comes back, he just doesn't know when to stop, I mean enough is enough! He just doesn't understand what it means to stay away! It's not fair, bechari Tanya! I won't let him even look at her wrongly next time, nothing will stop me from teaching him the lesson he needs, he's going to learn to cost to pay for thinking of MY Tanya like that... Tanya's voice interrupts his train off thought and grabs his attention towards her, "Raj tum theek ho, you look worried, is something bothering you, maybe I can help...He smiles at her and reassures her that he's fine and that he's just worried about her condition, and says let me take you to our room. Tanya replies saying she's fine, she can walk by herself, their nothing he needs to be worried about. Raj "No! I'm coming with you, I just don't want anything to happen to you" he puts his arm around her back and walks her upstairs to their room. He helps Tanya get in the bed and pulls the blanket over her. They stare at each other, frozen for some time, till Tanya has to sneeze. She thinks to herself nahi, please don't come out and tries to keep it bottled in, but she couldn't ahhhh chooo! She looked like a little 6 year old, sounding like one to sneezing, Yuv laugh and smiles. He then asks her if she's getting sick or it was just a sneeze and touches her forehead. She says it was just a sneeze, really she feels well. Yuv is getting off his knees but notices a piece of hair strand near Tanya's eyes (brought up by the sneeze :D ) he kneels back down and remove the strand from her face and puts it behind her ear. They stare for some more, tills Yuv's knees can't stay much longer. He gets up and tells Tanya to rest and not to worry about Kahniyah, because he won't let him anywhere close to her. Tanya thinks I'm so lucky to have a husband like you, you never let me worry or let one tear trop fall from my eyes. Thanks so much for all that you do, but I promise you too, I won't let him hurt you either; we're together now, as "ek" (one). She smiles at him and he smiles at her, starting to walk towards the door Yuv keeps picturing Tanya's face when he was removing the hair strand, when he reaches it he looks at Tanya smiling and walks out.

Yuv goes downstairs and sees a worried Trishna lost in thoughts. He walks up to her "Kya hua Trishna?" She's still lost in her deep thoughts "Trishna, kya hua?" this time she hears him and she looks at him. Her eyes look teary as if she's about to cry "everything Raj, everything" Yuv: "Will you tell me at least, maybe I could help" Trish: "Rajdeep ki pas photos hai ek ladki ki saath, mujhe lagta hai kuch hua tha woh dono ki beech, woh mujse kuch chupa raha hai" Yuv "It can't be what you're thinking, he's not like that, I know him, he wouldn't do anything like that, woh tumse pyaar karta hai, he loves you a lot Trishna, trust him, if there was something like that he would tell you don't you think?" Back at Tanya's room. Tanya is thinking how can she get Kahnaiyah away from her and a phone rings. She looks around to see where it's coming from, she spot Yuv's phone on his nightstand. She is deciding whether to pick it up or not? And decides to take it, Raj won't mind... "Hello" "Hello...Tanya?" Its Rajdeep calling. "Ha, Rajdeep" "Raj hai waha?" "Ha, he's downstairs, should I get him?" RD: "Actually, nahi, don't worry about it, just tell him to be at the office by 3, we have a meeting at 3:15, aur tell Trishna I love her very much" Tanya smiles "ok" RD smiles "thanks, bye" " ok, bye" Tanya looks at the clock which read 2:35, she thinks that she better tell Raj he has to get to his office in 25 mins. She climbs out of her bed and is walking downstairs... Back to Yuv/Trish convo... Yuv" Let the past go, what matters now is that he loves you and you love him, and I suggest you just move on...Tanya's walking, she reaches the bottom of the stairs, she sees Raj and Trish talking and stops mid-track. She watches and eavesdrops...Yuv takes trish's face in his hands and says "Don't cry, don't even think about it, trust me, I'm been there for you before, I'm here now and I'll be there in the future, whenever you need. The love you share is real, I'll prove it, and that's all that matters, the other girl means nothing, just a good friend, and nothing will ever change that okay?" Trish: "What about Tanya? what if she finds out about this'?" Yuv: "She doesn't need to know anything and she won't either, why make her more worried than she already is?" Tanya goes black & white shocked! She backs away still shocked, bumps into the wall, and thinks nahi! Asa kuch nahi hai! Raj wouldn't do that! Di wouldn't either, she loves Rajdeep! No! there's nothing going on like that between them two...then what are they talking about? Raj was worried earlier but he said it was about my health, and besides this isn't something Raj would be worried about. And di's crying, why would she cry if it was Raj's problem'could it be her problem? Is this about Rajdeep and her? About him and another girl? It's can't be, jiju loves her... But what if it is the situation? If it is then why would di tell Raj but not me? And why would Raj not want me to know? What would I be so worried about that I can't help my own sister? Don't they trust me, or is it something that I shouldn't trust them with? No! I need to find things out soon...So many questions are building up, I don't want to accuse them...She starts to walk toward them... Yuv: "Chalo, before someone sees you like this, no more worrying ok?" They turn around to go to their rooms and see Tanya standing there...Yuv and Trish go black and white... Yuv: "Tanya' tum yahaan kya kar rahi ho? You should be resting" Tanya "woh toh mein ka rahi thi, but Rajdeep called, to remind you about the 3 o'clock meeting" Yuv "oh! mein toh woh bhool he gayye, what time is it?" looks at his watch "oh no it's already 2:45 I'll be late! ek min, ill go get my briefcase" Tanya nods and turns to Trish "di kya hua? Are you okay? You look upset, what happened?" Yuv stops and turns around and sees Trish looking at him. Tanya "Di..." Yuv walks back to Tanya and holds her shoulders "kuch nahi hua Tanya, Trishna's just worried about Rajdeep, he's not feeling well today" Tanya: "he sounded fine on the phone" Yuv hands drop, Tanya stares at him for a sec and thinks what is this about? If it's about Rajdeep why are they acting like this? She turns to Trish "di don't worry, he'll feel better soon, he sounds fine on the phone, he even told me to tell you he loves you a lot" and smiles at her hugely. Trish blushes and smiles at Tanya and says "you're right I'm worrying for no reason" Nupur "Trishna! Come here! Hurry!" Trish makes a face "Ha" excuses herself to Tanya and Yuv and walks towards the kitchen. Yuv: "I'm leaving to go to the meeting, I'll come home as soon as possible, you just rest, don't stress over Kahniyah, I won't let him hurt you, ok? And if anything happens, I mean anything call me ASAP!" Tanya nods. Yuv: "good girl" he imagines a good-bye hug but snaps out of it, and leaves smiling.

Tanya goes to her room and thinks about what all happened today and falls asleep. She dreams about old Yuv/Trish moments and imagines new ones also. She's picturing yuv about kiss Trish and wakes up! She looks around hyperventilating. She feels Yuv side of the bed and see's he's not there, then she realizes she feel asleep after he left for the meeting. She looks at the clock -- 6:55, they will be home soon'then remembers the dream again. She asks herself why is she imagining these things? Could it really be happening? What if it is? No! They wouldn't break my trust like this! Then why do I feel bile in my mouth thinking this? What is this feeling? I've never felt this way before'Is this normal? What is this? Trish interrupts her train of thought by entering the room. "Tanya bachaa, chalo dinner time" and holds out her hand smiling. Tanya nods, smiles and grabs hold of her hand and climbs out.

Everyone is at the dinning table, including Raj and Rajdeep. Tanya goes to sit next to Raj and he smiles at her as she sits. He thinks even right after she wakes up she looks beautiful. Why can't I help but smile every time she comes in front of me like this. And whenever she's not there all I do is wonder what's she's doing. Thinking is she's okay at the meeting; Rajdeep almost killed me trying to break me off my day-dreams. All the sudden his hearts starts pounding and he tries to figure out why'then he see why...Tanya is smiling back at him. She's going to give me a heart attack if she continues to smile at me like this. Rajdeep starts talking about the meeting and tries to keep Yuv in convo. Yuv looks at his plate, he ran out of rotlis so he goes to grab one. At the same time Tanya reaches out for it also. Their hands touch and they stare at each other, caught in their moment they don't realize any thing but the other person in the background plays

Thoda sa pyaar hua hai, thoda hai baaki They continue to stare. Till Rajdeep clears his throat and says he would like to take on if they are done take some. And laughs. They both let go and give to Rajdeep.

Dinner is over and everyone is in their rooms sleeping -- except Yuv. Yuv is looking at Tanya sleeping, thinking she's looks to innocent like this, but even sleeping she looks stressed out (her eyebrows are raised in a worry line) he reaches out and fixes them and smiles (music playing:

Thoda sa pyaar hua hai, thoda hai baaki) He's just about to turn to his other side to sleep when he sees Tanya's mouthing something. She watches intensely curious at what's she's dreaming, but soon he's finds out it's not dream but a nightmare...Tanya's shaking, twisting, seeing the horrible night Kahniyah took her and held her "captive" she jerks up screaming NAHI! Yuv immediately jerks upwards too, his smile turned into a hard-line, he holds her shoulder. "Tanya kya hua, tanya calm down" Tanya pushes him off saying "Don't touch me, don't, let me go, move!" and covers her ears and squeezes her eyes shut as she hears kahnaiyah's voice laughing and congratz her of their "suhaag raat" Yuv: " Tanya mein hoon Raj....Tanya Raj hoon...tell me what happened.." She opens her eyes and looks at Yuv and breaks down crying and hugs him. He holds her tight "shhhhhhh...I know what this is about, shhh don't cry, I'm here now, I'm here to protect you. I won't let him do anything to you" He cradles her, rocking her ever so gently "shhhhhh mein hoon naa'calm down...I'm here now" Tanya calms down slowly, the whole time still cradled against Yuv. She realizes this, hugging him tightly and backs away. Yuv is surprised, arms still out in the position he held Tanya, looking hurt a bit that she let go so soon. He grabs her again (but not the same as before just holding her) and wipes her tears. "Go to sleep, I won't let anything happen to you, ever, I can't stand to see anything happening to you..." He looks a bit furious and in a lighting moment holds Tanya "can't breath, I'm suffocating" type of hug for a while -- Tanya's is just staring at him thinking what is with Raj -- after he reassures himself he lets Tanya go (not completely though, still holding her shoulders) smiles and leans closer and KISSES her forehead. Both are shocked, the anger and kiss came from nowhere, Yuv blushes and looks away. Tanya is staring at him, sort of smiling; she stops though as she watches Yuv turn to face her again. They look at each other thinking did that really happen? (its huge b/c they don't love each other either, and this is a big step up, they are growing that love, ahhhhh it's so cute! I love imagination, lmbo!) Both are still in an eye lock till Yuv speaks up "Tanya mein woh..." he couldn't continue he tried to think and Tanya sees that "Raj woh..." They both look at each for a moment forgetting what they were thinking and then Yuv says "Good night" and Tanya nods and says g-night to him too. Both lay back down, facing away from each other picturing the kiss in their heads over and over (both one time), while they picture it they turn to look the other one (like the kitchen scene but while they are laying -- Thoda sa pyaar hua hai, thoda hai baaki).

-:LOVE BLOOMS:: PART TWO:-

Few days pass and each day Tanya feels more insecure, Yuv has met with Trish a couple times and Tanya's beginning to feel jealous. Just this morning she saw Yuv hug Trish'little did she know it was only a comforting hug, and that Yuv was only being a good friend and jiju. Tanya was boiling inside, so to take her mind of things she decides to clean the house. Yuv is at the office wondering what Tanya's doing. He thinks to himself "we haven't had a good conversation for a while! Tanya used to tell me everything, forget talking she won't even look at me straight! What's wrong with her? Is it me? Someone else? Kahniayah? No, it's not him, I'm positive, if it was him, Tanya would come to me ASAP. Can it be that kiss? He thinks of that night. I didn't do it on purpose'it just sort of happened' And besides even if it was on purpose mujhe haq hai. I'm her husband! He feels awkward thinking this. He gets up saying "I have to get home and see her." He walks out, RD: Raj, tum kaha ja rahai ho? Raj turns slightly answering "Meri biwi ko dekh ne" thinking: you know the one that you can kiss w/o them getting mad at you; and leaves.

At the house Yuv sees Tanya, in his mind he tells himself --ok raj, take a deep breath and walk up to her and just tell her we need to talk. He takes a deep breath and walks towards her... but as soon as he saw her face all the anger rushed out of him, he felt calm all he sudden and tried to figure out how this happened. Yuv: "Tanya mujhe tum se baat kar ni hai" Tanya says "abhi nai, mein busy hoon" with a bit of a 'tude and walks around him, avoiding eye contact to keep tears from coming out. Yuv notices the water bucket, wondering Tanya's cleaning? Something is bothering her. He grabs her arm, she stops--still making no eye contact, Yuv walks around and faces her, still holding her free arm. Tanya "Raj chodo, meraa kaam kar nai do" Yuv: "Tanya, kuch kaam nahi hai, we both know you're only cleaning because something is bugging you, now tell me kya baat hai?" Tanya: "kuch nahi, ab chodo please" in her mind "let go before I cry please, I don't want you to see this, because even I don't know why I'm so emotional these days, I don't know my moods anymore, I can't control my feelings! what is this mess?" Hesitantly Yuv lets go, still staring intensely "okay, kuch asa nahi hai toh mein bhi tumhe help karoo" Tanya:"nahi mein kar ti hoon na, you must be tired just coming from the office, tum rest karoh" Yuv grabs the bucket "I'm not tired, besides this will give us a chance to talk together too, now that's what I call a 2-in-1 deal" and laughs softly. Tanya heart thuds thinking "god what was that? what just happened" why is my heart reacting this way?" grabbing the bucket back "we'll talk later" Yuv yanking even harder now "ok, but I still want to help" Tanya "its okay really, I don't need help" yanking even more. Both struggle trying to get hold of the bucket alone, Yuv yanks with extra bit forces...splash all over himself! Tanya "Dekho kya hua, wait here, I'll get a towel" While walking back with the towel she slips on the water, Yuv turns his head and see Tanya falling, catching her, but as he caught her he looses his footing and slips dragging Tanya down with him. Yuv: " Tanya tum theek toh ho?" she replies "Ha, aur tum?" Yuv: "mein toh theek hoon, but I'm beginning to think tha you're clumsy" laughing so beautifully that Tanya had to look away, not only because of the embarrassment but because his laugh made her heart skip a beat. (music playing:

Thoda sa pyaar hua hai, thoda hai baaki) Once he stopped she looked back up at him, he was smiling at her hugely, her heart skipping a beat once more. She couldn't help but smile back blushing along with it. Water drips from Yuv hair falls onto his face, breaking their stare. She wipes his face with the towel, the whole time Yuv watches her intently, she gazes back while drying his hair with the towel. Yuv turns away, leaving Tanya shocked only to sneeze two seconds later. Tanya: "Raj tum sick ho jao gay, mein dawaa le ati hoon" He swallows his pill while Tanya holds the cup as he drinks the water from it, peering into each others eyes. Water starts to spill form the cup and they look to find the cup not at raj's mouth anymore, Tanya's getting the cup upright the same time Yuv hand flies up to fix the cup too, they're hand in hand. Tanya looks up at him and tells him to change into dry clothes while she puts the cup away, he releases his hand.

Yuv is in the bathroom with a different pair of pants on, looking around to see where he put his shirt. Not finding it there he goes back to the bedroom, maybe he dropped it on his way to the bathroom. He sees it on the bed and walks towards it. Tanya enters lost in thought going the same way. Yuv bends and picks his shirt up, Tanya almost reaches the bed...Yuv turns [everything goes slow-mo] Tanya bumps into him falling on the bed, along the way tripping Yuv who falls on top of her. On top falls his white shirt covering their heads to their shoulders, they share and eye lock; Tanya's heart races as she holds on to Yuv's shirtless body (she asks herself why does my heart always race when's he's around? Its pounding so loud I bet he can hear it. Why does my heart always skip a beat when he smiles or laugh? I've seen people smile and laugh why not with them? What's this feeling? Why am I feeling it?) Yuv lost at Tanya's touch, feeling dizzy and dazed, his skin burning where it meets hers, feeling better then good, setting off a strange aching in his heart. The place where her arm touched his back felt more alive than the rest of his body. (Realizing that he asked himself-- Why does even a simplest brush of her fingers have this kind of effect on me? I've been in love, had butterflies, my stomach done summer-saults, but I can't help but feel this is completely different, new, maybe even more? How can one masoom ladki make me feel this way unintentionally and have no clue she beginning to have that kind of power over me?) Just then Sanjana comes and interrupts "oh sorry, bhaiyah" giggles; both raj and Tanya break from the eye lock and look through the shirt at her, neither removing it. "Really sorry, maybe I should have knocked, anyways dinner is ready, so when you two love bird are done come downstairs" and giggles her way downstairs. Both blushed and look the other way, Yuv turns to tanya "I'm sorry, mujhe dekh na tha mein kaha ja raha tha, come on I'll help you up" he moved the shirt getting up something stopped him midway-- the edge Tanya's saree got stuck in Yuv's stopwatch. He looks down at it and then her, removing it but still keeping an eye on her, puts his shirt on, helps her up. Yuv "Ready?" she nods and both walk downstairs together.

-:I THINK I'M FALLING FOR YOU:: PART 3a:-

Everyone gets up from the dinner table, fully satisfied. Everyone is turning to leave to their rooms, when Sanjana calls for their attention. She announces that she has been nominated as a homecoming queen at her high school. Everyone cheers saying that's wonderful! "Bas ek choti si problem hai" Rajdeep "Woh kya hai?" Sanjana "Mujhe slow dance karna ata nahi" her smile turning into a small confused frown. Rajdeep "Bas itna hi? Don't worry, Raj tumhe sikaye ga, won't you raj?" looking at him pleadingly. Raj "I would love to teach you Sanjana, but maine bahut khaiya hai" holding his stomach "aur waisey bhi, I'm not that great of a dancer myself, Rajdeep why don't you teach her" Rajdeep is surprised "Raj, your such a bad liar, bhool gayye college mein tum always 1st place aathay dancing mein? Why wouldn't Sanjana learn from the best?" Sanjana "Bhaiya, please? Tum aapni di se ab pyaar ni kar te?" making a puppy dog face. Raj falls for it badly, smiling "How can I say no to that, come let's go" Sanjana smiles hugely "Yes! Thank you, thank you, thank you, this is why I love you so much" and hugs him. Tanya thinks "Raj is so sweet to everyone, that's why it's so easy to love him" Everyone smiles; Rajdeep, Trishna, Tanya, Sanjana, and Raj walk to the living room.

Rajdeep puts in a CD; "Woh Pehli Baar" starts to play. Raj "May I have this dance, Ms. Sanjana" Sanjana smiles "Yes" and takes his hand. He tells her to climb on his feet first. And they dance like that for a few moments. Then he lets her down and instructs the basics. Soon after a while she gets it and is happy. Sanjana "Bhaiya, I didn't know you where this smooth with your moves, no wonder bhabhi fell for you" and giggles. Raj looks over to Tanya who is one the loveseat watching him. Both blush. The song changes to "Kuch na Kaho", eveytime he can Raj looks over to Tanya, who is still watching him. She looks so angelic sitting her all innocent like that, thinks Raj, God I swear I can see a halo on her head, I've never seen someone so angelic and innocent, so beautiful...He looks and Sanjana and sees Tanya's face on her instead. He looks over to Tanya on the couch and back at Sanjana, who still looks like Tanya. Blinking a couple of time, he looks over to back to the loveseat and sees Tanya, who looks a bit worried, he smile letting her know he's fine and smiles. Sanjana notices all this, and says "Bhai, I think you missing my bhabhi too much, I saw you confused, and I think you were seeing bhabhi face on me, correct?" Raj blushes and looks at Tanya who is blushing back, but with a slight smile on her face, a bit smug, in fact. Raj "Woh, ahhh nahi toh..." Sanjana "Like bhaiya said, you're a horrible liar, and for that I'm punishing you, but I shouldn't even call it that, your actually going to it, hold on" She goes over to Tanya "Bhabhi, come here" she takes Tanya's hand and brings her over to Raj. Raj and Tanya face each other, and look back to Sanjana, who then says "What are you to looking at me like that, I seriously don't have to explain do I? Arre baba I brought Tanya bhabhi here so you two can dance, since you two couldn't take your eyes of each other, or in bhai case imagining the other's face on others, now I'm giving you a chance to be together" smiling. Worried and uncomfortable Tanya speaks "Sanjana, asa kuch nahi hai, tum Raj ki saath dance karo mein toh bas sonay ja rahe thi" Sanjana smilingly pleads "I can't let you do that bhabhi, all I'm asking is one dance with bhai please, don't let him suffer like this please, you should have seen him looking at me to you, back and forth, I'm sure you've noticed, besides it's bhai punishment, so please?"

Tanya looks over to Raj for some help, but he just smiles nodding as if to say its okay, I want to dance. They both stare into each others eyes and soon Tanya finds Raj's arms around her waist, holding her delicately and perfectly. She looks down at his arms and back up at him, he's smiling at her, giving her a rush. Letting go of one of his hand he lifts Tanya's hand and puts them on his shoulders, moving his arms back in place at her waist. Tanya a bit uncomfortable looks to Sanjana who winks at her, moving to dance with Rajdeep. The songs moved on to "Ek Din" while listening to the words Tanya realizes she's moving with the beat to it with Raj. She looks up at him to meet his gaze, which never left her face. Seeing Tanya's eyes on him, Raj curled his arms around her pulling her tighter against his chest. When Raj smiled at her again, she realized something, she wanted him to like her, to think kind things about her, she wanted him to care about her, but a different kind of care, not the kind he has for her now. Slowly the music starts to fade, their family start to fade, it seems like nothing in the world matters at the moment. All they see is each other's faces, all they hear is their heart beating quadruple times faster, all they feel is the arms of the other person, and soon they stop moving. Just standing, arms around each other, eye to eye, lost in the moment. It was so comfortable being like this, no tension no stress, no worries no sorrow, no nothing, just him and her, bounded tightly against each other. Without realizing they were inching closer to the point that there is no room in between them. Raj leaning down only half and inch away from Tanya's face. They can feel each other's cool breath upon their face. And right then and there Raj kissed Tanya, right in front of everyone, but both forgot the audience quickly. This was so easy and right, no confusion, no objection, no division, just him and her, melding into one.

And then they hear someone. Breaking away they hear someone finishing a sentence "'you do in a room, alone" They look at Rajdeep, slowly just moving their faces and not their bodies. "Oh look, Mr. and Mrs. Malhotra are done, yeh sab kar na tha to room mein ja na that guys, Sanjana is still here you know" Sanjana offended "Ey, bhaiya I'm not a kid anymore if you haven't noticed, I see things like this at school all the time, hmmp" Rajdeep "Ok, ok, sorry" looking back at Raj now "the was one hell of a kiss, I have to say Raj, I've never seen you so.. So' well you know like this, and I'm happy for you but still guys" Raj and Tanya look are embarrassed, they look back at each other and blush. Not knowing what to do or say, they separate and look at Rajdeep and Sanjana, Trishna must have left. Raj finally speaks up "Sorry, guys, I... I... I don't know what happened" and looks down. Sanjana " Oh don't be ashamed bro, it's okay, I know you too are newly wed things like this happen, to be honest I was surprised to see this, I haven't seen you to lost in a moment like this, well besides earlier today" and giggles. Rajdeep surprised "Earlier today? What? Kya hua?" Sanjana "Oh, don't be noisy bhai, go to bed, it's late" Rajdeep "You're right, it is late, well lets all hit the bed" and looks at TAAJ smiling. All walk to their rooms, saying good night.

In the room, both Tanya and Raj have changed. Both are climbing on to the bed and feel a bit awkward. They can't decide whether to lay down or not, afraid they might get too close and freak the other one out. Raj then speaks "Tanya, about earlier...woh...I'm sorry, I don't know what happened, I didn't mean for it happen..." He then thinks but somehow I feel glad'glad that it happened, and maybe she does to, because if she's didn't like it, she would have stop me right? After a while Tanya replies back "I know you didn't mean for it happen, it's...ok" She thinks He didn't mean for it happen, he doesn't feel for me like that, then why didn't he stop kissing me? Why am I guilty for slightly liking it? Should I be? Raj " I know I made you uncomfortable tonight, but I owe you a comfortable night of sleep, I'll sleep on the couch tonight, I don't want you feel awkward because of me" Please stop me, let me sleep with you on the bed, I promise to behave, please I just want to be with you. Shocked at hearing about him sleeping on the couch she replies "I don't want you to have to sleep on the couch because of me, it's not fair, I'll be fine, but if you feel uncomfortable I'll go sleep there" Please, don't go sleep there, I just want to lay next you, feel your presence, please don't sleep away from me. Raj "I won't make you sleep on the couch, especially not in your condition, I go, I'll be fine, I'm okay with it really" No I'm not, stop me again please. Tanya reaches out and grabs Raj's hand, he looks at her hand and in the inside he is celebrating, Tanya is worried he may not like her doing this, but still holds on, he looks back up just in time "You're not going to sleep on the couch, your okay and I'm okay, so there no need, really" Silently pleading him that he'll change his mind Raj "Are you sure?" Tanya "I'm sure" Raj smile and lays his pillow and blanket back on the bed. Both lay down and say good night. Facing away from each other they are celebrating their "victory" smiling both see FBs from earlier and the kiss and fall asleep.

-:I THINK I'M FALLING FOR YOU:: PART 3b:-

That night Raj and Tanya share something precious...Everything is fuzzy and dizzying, as it gets clear we see that it's mid-afternoon and there's the sound of children's laughter nearby. The house has a nice aroma of food cooking. Walking further into the strange new home, we come to the living room. Three figures can be seen, a tall buff man whose arms were around a small petite woman, who's holding a beautiful little baby girl. The man speaks up and the voice sounds very familiar "God, I must be the luckiest man in the world right now. I got a beautiful wife that loves me dearly. An angel sent from above as my child, which I cannot believe is so precious, she goes after you completely, the same innocent eyes and smile, they way that see looks at me, and just by looking at her all my sorrows, my worries goes away and all I'm left with is happiness. Thank you so much" the woman voice familiar too "No, thank you, it's only because of you that I had the courage to do this, your the reason why I'm happy, the reason why tears don't drop from my eyes, the reason I'm always smiling now. And even she's starting to have that kind of power over me" Walking a bit further we get a clear view of the couple. "Speaking of her, Tanya she's asleep, lets put her to bed, here I'll do it" Tanya "No it's okay, I got her, besides I don't want to move her too much she might wake up" Tanya walks over to their bedroom to a pink crib with little elephants on it, she gently lays the baby, and rocks the crib. Raj walks behind her and whispers "God, she's such an angel, never troubling, or crying without reason" he's got the biggest smile on his face. Tanya turns around and looking at his smile she smiles too. He puts his arms around her snagging her closer to him.

He kisses her forehead gently and smiles with not only his lips but his eyes too. Laughing Tanya asks "What was that for?" and lovingly Raj replies back "Because ever since they baby's been born I haven't got to do that much, and to tell you the truth I missed it terribly. You know that I love you right? I love you with all my heart, and I won't stop loving you till my heart dies out. Even then I'll continue to love you." He leans in to kiss her. She quickly puts her hand over his lips. "Raj, tum kya kar rahe ho?" He kisses her hand and she pulls it down. "Jo ek pati apne biwi ki saath kar saq ta hai, kya mujhe haq nahi hai?" He frowns and gives her puppy dog eyes and sort of whimpers. Tanya shakes her head "Yeh sab mere par kuch effect nahi hogi ok mister?" to that Raj replies "Oh yeah? I know something that will though, hold still for a minute and close your eyes" and smiles mischievously. Tanya suspiciously asks "Kyun?" Taking Tanya's face in his hands he closes hers eyes, slowly moving his fingers from her ear down her jaw to her throat and back over her lips. She trembles "Raj..." "Shhhh…" he moves his lips across her throat and up her jaw closing in on her lips. Just a 1/16 inch away from her lips she opens her eyes. Shocked he moves his head up, looking into her eyes. She turns to run away but his hand grabs her back spinning her back into his arms. His hands moves up slowly to her faces and she closes her eyes again. He turns her around so she's facing him, closing in the space between them. Slightly quivering Tanya speaks up "Raj, ek minute please" takes a couple of deep breaths and cups his face in her arms. She leans inwards, so close that both can feel each other cool breath breeze their faces. She gets a 1/4 of an inch close to his lips and suddenly moves to his ears and whispers "Gotcha!" and quickly runs out the room laughing. Raj still leaned like he's about to be kissed processes the joke and turns to catch Tanya "That was not cool Tanya, come back here, I wasn't done with you, tere toh, watch out once I catch you, you won't have a chance to escape the third time that's a promise." She runs to the living rooms screaming "Raj, nahi, don't" laughing. The sofas trap her in between as she looks for an escape he catches up behind her and puts his arms around her waist. "You want to play games huh Tanya, alright let's play a game I call..." and he starts tickling her "tickling Tanya! Kesa laga mere game huh? Tell me" tickling her even more. Jerking and moving everywhere Tanya tries replying "Ra..aj Staaa..oppp, pleeeeeease" Falling to the ground she laughing crazing. Enjoying it still Raj gets on the ground with her and stops tickling her for a moment. "Toh? Did you have fun? Because I had fun. Now I'm giving you the option to pick a game. One the kissing game, which is personally my favorite" smiling even more mischievously "and two we can continue playing our tickling game, which one?" Finished laughing Tanya looks up at Raj. Both look into each others eyes for second. Raj helps her up and both stand up hand in hand. Tanya walks closer towards Raj "I definitely don't like game #2" leaning in closer towards his face "and game #1 sounds so tempting, I might just take your offer" Raj laughingly grabs Tanya and pulls her on the couch with him. Arms around her, looking deeply into her eyes, he kisses...

...his pillow. Taking his lips of his pillow he realizes that was just a dream. His arms still around the pillow on his chest he thinks Was that really just a dream? Would Tanya and I be like this someday? Is the baby she's carrying the reason behind all this love? Is this baby going to make our relationship like an actual husband-wife relationship? Will I love her like that? Something tells me I'm all starting to, but that's not true everytime I'm around her I feel weird sort of uncomfortable, not like how we use to. Is this suppose to happen? What am I feeling? Is it normal? Does Tanya feel it too? He puts his pillow aside and turns to Tanya whose still sleeping. The dream was right about one thing she is so innocent and sweet looking, even sleeping she has a beautiful smile. Kash...No this is right.. He turns back around. Noticing this Tanya opens her eyes slowly Thank god he turned away. That was weird, and the dream I had was weirder. What was it trying to tell me? That one day Raj and I would be like that? That one day we may…love…each other? I can't think of this like this. I need to get ready, I have stuff to do, I can't lay here dreaming of things that are not in my hands and not likely to happen. I mean Raj does not feel that way for me, it was already clear Trish di was his one and only. Shayad mein... this dream is killing me what am I suppose to take it as? The symbol that the baby I'm carrying is meant for. What? It was no doubt that they both had the same dream. Both relive the dream. Tanya when she was making breakfast and Raj while he slept again.

Tanya walks in with the breakfast and lays it on the nightstand. She's reaches to wake Raj up when he grabs her "Gotcha! I told you once I catch you, you won't escape me again, well this time you won't escape, vaada hai meraa. He pulls her down on the bed and rolls over so she's underneath him with no room to escape. Raj smiles and opens his eyes, catching his breath. You can tell she just took a shower with her wet hair and the smell of her shampoo and body wash overwhelmed him. He takes deep breath leaning closer to her closing his eyes "You smell so good in the morning you know that. It's one of things I can't get over about you. You always smell so nice" He opens his eyes and see Tanya with a mixed reaction of confused, surprised, worried, and a bit scared. "Tanya, you know when your tensed you beautiful little eyebrows wrinkle and it's the cutest thing ever" He kisses them. He cups his hands around her face and leans in and kissed her nose. Running his nose down her jaw line to the throat and back up. He looks at her intensively and smiles. "I love you so much but you always known that, but I love saying it to you, I love you, I love you, I love you." He kisses her cheek, going closer and closer. He kisses the tip of her lip. Tanya pushes him back "Raj tum kya kar rahe ho?" Raj taken aback answers "What do you mean?" trying to move away "Tum hosh mein toh ho na? Mein Tanya hoon" Raj looks at her confused "Ha, I'm fine, and of course your Tanya who else am I suppose to expect? Tanya sometimes I think you overly stressed out, here sir daba ta hoon" Tanya puts her hand in front of his "Nahi Raj I don't think your fine, mein perfectly theek hoon" Raj just continues to look at her.

After a moment the room looks different but familiar, not the room they were before, when did they get here? Raj then realizes what happened. Did I just kiss her like that and tell her I love her and all. This isn't the dream. Oh god! This is horrible! She's going to think of me differently! I'm not forcing anything on her! I was...just...lost in the dream. God what's happening to me..? He speaks out loud "Tanya, woh mein....I'm soooo sorry... I don't" He moves aside so she can get up "I'm so sorry, mein...I wasn't myself the past few minutes. I don't…I don't know what happened. I promise I wasn't trying to do anything to you. I wasn't thinking of you like that, I'm so sorry, forgive me Tanya, please, I'm sorry" Tanya please forgive me. I know I promised to behave and this pushed the limit but I didn't even realize that I was doing it like last time. Please I won't be able to live with you ignoring me. I need to see you and talk to you. And I know I made it hard to do those with what I did. But it wasn't my fault technically. God why I am I doing things like this? Why do I get so lost and caught up at the same time? Tanya's answer brings his attention back "Raj...woh...I know..I know you didn't do it on purpose...I'm ...I'm not mad at you...and I won't ask how or why this happened, but please...please be careful...the..ummm..next time..okay?" While getting up she thinks What's going on with Raj these days? What's going on? What's happening to me? Why do I feel so..sooo...I don't know happy when he's around...I don't know how to describe it but it makes me feel so high and keeps me grounded at the same time. What is this called? Why did Raj do that? How? He says he doesn't think of me like that. Was he thinking of someone else? But when I said it was me, he said who else should he expect. Does he feel what I feel? How will I know? When will I know? She gives Raj his chai and their hands meet. Both look up at each other and feel weird and awkward, Raj lets goes of his hand looks down. Tanya lays the cup back "I'll just leave it here, drink it before it gets cold" and smiles so she wouldn't be rude and excuses herself. Raj thinks she's forgiven me, and happy. Yet I'm still unhappy why is that? What do I want? Why did my heart jump when our hands met? Could I be beginning to want her. To like her as my..myy..and snaps out of it. I got my answer Raj doesn't like me that way, he proved it when our hands met. Then how come I got an adreline rush when we did? Does he not feel it too? Is this feeling...l...love..no! And she walks out of the room.

-:THE WAKE UP CALL:: PART 4:-

Tanya's at the bottom of the stairs when Trishna calls her over. Trish smiles at Tanya hugely "Baccha go back upstairs and change into something cute and tell Raj to change too!" Confused Tanya asks "Per Kyun?" Trish smiles more "Kyunki hum movies ja rahe hai. Rajdeep and I, and, you and Raj." Tanya eyes widen "per di.." Trish cuts her off "unh uh" shaking her head "no excuses Tanya, I don't want to hear them, you're going and that's final!" Tanya opens her mouth to speak but Trish stop her but putting her finger up "I said no, Tanya please, we haven't went to the movies since we've been married, not only is a chance for us to go out and do that, but we get to be alone with our husbands. Besides RD asked mom if Raj and him can take the day off to go with us and she approved. And if you're not back back down here in 30 minutes ready with Raj I'm not talking to either of you, got it?" At the release of Trish's finger Tanya takes her chance to speak up "Per--" but is cut off again. Trish turns her around "Nope!" and gently pushes her towards the stairs. "Remember 30 mins!" RD comes and holds Trish "Hello beautiful, did you talk to Tanya?" Trish smiles at him and replies "Yes I did, I just sent her to her room" RD lets go of Trish "You know, I didn't realize that Raj and Tanya love each other so much . I mean the way held each other while dancing and that kiss! Boy was it passionate!" Holding Trish and messing around he continues "You know you never kiss me the way Tanya kisses Raj" Trish didn't laugh along actually she was shocked "Tanya kissed Raj? They kissed?!?" Pulling her closer RD replies "Yeah it was stunning. I mean one second they're dancing and suddenly they seem oblivious to us and next thing we see is them lip to lip. I've never seen Raj so..so..so you know passionate! Ever since he's meet Tanya he;s never been the same, she's changed him so much!" Trish "Raj isn't the only one who's changed, Tanya has too. Tanya's never felt for someone like this wit h anyone" RD smiles "That's why they got married, because they're just meant to be" Trish ponders over and this and comes to the conclusion I'm glad they feel that way about each other, they deserve to be happy. RD continues "Rab ne bana di Raj aur Tanya ki jodi" both laugh.

Back at TAAJ's room, Tanya finds Raj dressed and ready. He sees her and automatically smiles, he walks up to her and is about to bring his hands to hold her but remembers what happened earlier and looks down. Man how did I let that happen? I mixed dreams with reality . It's so overwhelming what she does to me. Looking back up to her he continues lost in his thoughts Look at her talk, those soft, warm luscious lips, so welcoming, tempting and inviting. Tanya waves her hand in front of him breaking his thoughts "Huh? Kuch kaha Tanya?" exhaling Tanya replies "Raj how are you going to help me when you're not even listening?" Raj "I'm sorry, I was just thinking about yo--work, but I'm listening now, tell me, what's wrong, are you ok?" Tanya "Yes, I'm good, and are you dressed to go to the office? Because that that's what I need to talk to you about. You're not going, di wants us to go to the movies with RD and her. I've tried everything to excuse us but she just won't listen.." Raj becomes tensed " I know RD just came in earlier and told me, that's why I am dressed up. But I'm confused I thought you'd want to go, I know how much you love to go out and watch movies. So I just thought'but we can cancel if you want, thiers no point of going if you're not going." Does she not want to go because of me? Does she only stay close-by because we're married? Has she never dreamed us more than buddy-buds? Am I the only one who feel their stomach do summer-saults when we're close? But then again I don't expect her to, how can we plan on forever when we didn't even plan on each other? Tanya watches as Raj's lips form into a frown slowly, she reaches out her hand and places it on his face, hurt " Raj, I'm sorry. I'm always making you sad; you never make me sad. I promise I'm going to stop starting right now. We're going to go the movies, here I'll get ready okay?" Removing her hand slowly I want to brighten up your day like you do with mine just by looking at me, I want you to smile when you see me, I don't like seeing you sad, it hurts to watch, especially when I am the reason behind it. But starting now whatever makes you happy goes, I'll make sure you won't feel one ounce of sadness. Raj stops her hand from letting go completely, placing his hands on top "No Tanya, I'm going to force you, if you want to go we'll go, if no that's okay too, all I care is that you're happy" and smiles I don't want you to go because you feel obliged to, I want you to go with me because you want to! Am I forcing myself on her too much? I'll control my urge to be around you so much. I'll have to try I know it's not going to be easy because for some reason the thought of being away from you for so long disgusts me. He loses an internal battle: an urge to touch her face; cupping his hands tightly on her face still imagining the thought of being away from her, seeing her eyes widen he releases the force in his grip, but still holding on. Feeling her warn face radiant under his hands made him smile "I'll change, don't worry I'll think of something to excuse us from the movies" shocked at hearing this Tanya answers back "No! I mean you're a great person. You're the best friend anyone can ask for and the ideal husband every girl wishes for. You're always of thinking of others before you, always such a gentlemen. But you never do what makes you happy--" Raj cuts her off "Making you happy is what makes me happy, don't you see?" smiling hugely She thinks I'm great! But does she like me like me, she used friend and husband in a sentence how will I ever now if she feels more for me, does she feel what I do? Looking at Raj's smile Tanya couldn't help but smile either; his grin was lighting up her in her yes, dancing to the beat of heart thunder underneath God he's so beautiful when he smiles like that, I don't ever want to see it disappear "Don't change Raj, I want to go to the movies" a whisper bearably yet so seducing that Raj gets caught up in a trance whispering back "your wish is my command" and if it were possible to do so both of their smiles widened. Tanya inching closer with Raj following her pursuit, filling in the gap in between each passing second.. DING! DING! DING! Snapping out of each others trance they hear the clock ding 3 more times. I was now six and Tanya has 10 minutes to get ready, realizing this she drops her hand from his face and he does the same. Looking at her hands Tanya tells Raj brb and changes ino a gray and pink saree. She walks in smiling, a breeze blows by ruffling Tanya's hair. To Raj time freezes, everything goes blurry around him, clarity focusing only on Tanya, smiling ever wider see Raj, giving Raj the biggest thrill in his stomach, like being on a free fall. She walks over and winks coming closer as he reaches out his hand to touch her face, a reassurance to make sure he wasn't dreaming. It was defiantly her, lightly running his fingers up and down her jaw line. He takes a deep breath, taking in her sweet fragrance, Tanya holding herself still. God, how can anyone ever be so appealing? If I could just.. He leans in unintentionally and kisses her.. Raj! Raj! O0o0o Fo! Raj! How is she talking while we're' He opens his eyes to find himself almost lipping Tanya's hand. He straightens up quickly; Tanya "Jaane kaha aap baar baar kho ja te hai. Lately every time I'm around you, you're always..you're off in some distant land. Kaha aap mere khayaalon mein lost toh nahi ho ja te na?" laughing at her joke; Raj on the other hand become very serious, what Tanya just said were true and he was almost caught "Ha per mere fault nahi hai, tum ase roj dress karongi toh ase he kuch hoga na?" Tanya is shocked. Oh my god! Did I just say that out loud? Oh my god! Kya karoo mein? Idea! He chuckles quickly as if he was joking back and Tanya loosens. "But seriously, you look beautiful today" both stare at each other and aankhon hi aankhon mein plays.

Trish comes in then "Tanya! Ready ho gayi?" Spotting her she speed walks over. She pulls Tanya, breaking their eye-lock. "Wow, kit ne beautiful dekh ti ho tum. Raj keep her with you at all time or god knows I might snatch her up for myself" winking playfully. RD enters next "Ready Raj?" Raj turns around "Ha" RD "ok to chale?" Everyone nods and they head off to the theater to watch RNBDJ.

The previews start and RD, Trishna, Tanya, and Raj get settled sitting in that order on the very top right hand corner. With a large popcorn and large drink with two straws in between each couple. Trishna elbows Tanya softly "Oh my gosh! This is so fun. We're finally here, I been waiting for this movies for so long" laughing. Tanya smiles back "I know" Trishna turns her attention back to RD and the both chat about something. The light turn down, the movie is about to start. The producers title's come on and Tanya and Raj are left feeling at bit awkward. Both think of what to say, neither can come up with anything; both thankful that it was the movies that was chosen, at least both have an excuse not to talk and pay full attention to each other. It felt so different though, never like this before. Their was some strange electric current flowing through between Tanya and Raj at the moment, and the darkness made the moment even more intense. Both sat there and wondered why, they both have been in the darkness together, even alone, then why does it feel so striking in here now? Both look at each other, eyes meeting, both caught looking at each other, and quickly turn. Both of their hearts racing now, pounding. Both thinking what do I do? Just then they are saved, the titles start and the movie begins. For a while they try to concentrate deep into the movie, watching both it and the other person from the corner of their eyes. Soon they relax a bit, and start fully paying attention to the movie. Raj slouches down, getting himself comfortable. Raj reaches in the for the popcorn and starts munching; Tanya doing the same.

In the movie Taani is getting ready for her wedding preparations, too busy in thought she bumps into Suri, both hold an eye-lock and Suri falls for her--love at first sight. He feels awkward as she loves someone else. Soon Taani's father has a heart attack and worried for his daughter he asks Suri to marry her. Both agree tearfully.

The part sinks in both of their minds. Brining FBs of their marriage, a marriage on compromise, protection, sadness. Raj looks over at her sadly and turning his attention back to the movie, at the same time he looks away she looks at him, sad too but for a different reason. Both are awkward at the moment. They concentrate hard on the movie. Eating popcorn more excessively. They both try hard as another electric current flows through. Goosebumps rise on both of their arms, ignoring it both reach in the popcorn at the same time. Hands meet and both look at each other. They're hearts are pounding again, and both are frozen. Tanya tries to move her hand but can't seem to do it, meanwhile Raj is again lost in thought I may have been in love like Taani but I swear saving you was more important that the love I felt. And if I could I would do it over again, the only problem what that would be you suffering again, that I would not be able to take again.. He squeezes her hand tight in his. She gulps and finally is able to fins her hand. She moves her hand around his, breaking the grip. He looks down and back up, whispering "Sorry, thought it was the popcorn" he grabs some and turns around quick. Meanwhile Tanya is still staring at him No Raj, I'm the one who's sorry. I'm sorry that like Suri I was the reason that you can not be with the one you love. She goes back to watching the movie too. Time flys by with the movie still playing.

The movie comes to the part where Raj is introduced as Taani's partner. Both practice their dance moves. Couple of scenes fly by and comes to the part after Raksha Bhandan. Taani and Raj are dancing and afterwards Raj declares his love for her.

Both Raj and Tanya get goosebumps watching this. Tanya shivers and rubs her hand over her arm to make the goosebumps go away. Raj is looking at her, his hairs too stand up at the tip of arms. Tanya warming up a bit looks up to make sure Raj does not notice, only to find herself meeting his eye. Another chill runs down their spine and at the same time their heart races giving off a warm eerie in the inside. It was if a volcano was active in them, eruptifying heat in it's self in contrast to the cold hard cover of it's body. Both go to grab popcorn to keep themselves busy only to meet hands in the popcorn tub. Both look up at each other and remove thier hands out, continuing staring at each other with the heat/ice conjoing in them.

RD thinks of a joke watching the scene turning his attention to them, only to find them again in a eye-lock. He laughs quietly and the trio look at him all losing their concentration to whatever they were watching. He whispers as so not to disturb anybody watching the movie "Tum dono movie ko dekhne aaye ho aur sirf ek dono se?" laughing and continuing on "Mein toh yeh scene ke dekhte tum dono ki yaad aye aur kehna tha tumko, par tum tu ek beeja ke aakh mein lost thay" chuckling again once more "You know since we are on that topic anyways, let me just say it. Raj Tanya I mean no offense but this is too funny. You remember when Sanjana asked you to help her dance and later she set you too up and then you too..uhh kissed? Well don't you think that's almost just like the movie? I mean look at this, they are dancing, loving each other, and they even have your names! Taani and Raj -- Tanya and Raj. If I don't know any better, I could have swear they stole your love story. Well almost, and plus you too loved each other and married" All three are speechless not knowing what to say, do RD says "Am I right? Why is everyone looking at me like that?" Tanya looks down and at the same time her stomach twists feeling a bit nauseous; she looks back up coving her mouth and says "I have to go to the bathroom" Trish looks at her and says "Here I'll come with you too, you shouldn't go alone" RD then crosses his arms to his chest and giving them a "oh please" kind of look saying "Oh come on, Tanya you know I didn't mean it like that, I'm sorry" Tanya looks at him and says "It's not like that, I feel nauseous that's all, I have to go, and di it's okay I'll go alone, watch the movie I don't want you to miss it because of me" She is about to turn to leave but Raj grabs her hand, speaking up "Tanya, I don't want you to go alone, I'll come with you" getting up. RD burst out with another comment "Awe so cute, they just want a moment to themselves again, go ahead, but do come back before the movie finishes or the money went to waste" chuckling again. Raj was about speak up but Tanya squeezes his hand as if to tell him to keep quite. He looks at her nods and leads her down the stairs, sliding his hands down till he grabs hold of her hand.

They walk out of the theater holding hands. They walk together towards the women's bathroom in silence, once there Raj lets go of Tanya's hand. He turn around and faces her "Tanya, I'm sorry, If RD said something and it made you feel uncomfortable, I'm sorry" Tanya blinks and replies "It's okay Raj really, stop saying you're sorry, I know you don't mean for any of this, I understand RD doesn't know, mhmm?" "Raj "Okay" gesturing his hand to the bathroom door "Do you have to go or was it just'" Tanya sighs "I.." stuttering "have to go" She walks around him brushing against him a bit; he turns and watches her walk in the bathroom. Tanya walks up the mirror and hold on the edge of the counter for balance; looking in the mirror she thinks to herself Raj saw me with goosebumps, did he feel it too? Was I the only one to feel that electric current? Why am I always feeling different around him now? What's going on? Why am I-- her stomach twists in that same way as earlier. She takes in a sharp breath and holds her stomach the way a pregnant woman does. She looks down at an makes a face--not in a bad way but not in a smiling way either. She moans and pain look Is it kicking me? What's going on? Her nausea back again. Meanwhile Raj is on the outside looking at his hand; his hand was tingling and it was trembling a bit also. His shoulder where Tanya brushed by was tingling too; slowly and tremblingly he touches his shoulder and thinks to himself I am feeling something, and it close to love I know, but I can't put a name to it, I'm not in love, I can't be, can I? I need to talk to Tanya, tell her what's going, but would it bother her? Is she feeling it too? Tanya is still in the bathroom taking in sharp breaths and starting to feel better. She thinks she needs fresh air and decides to do that and walks out. Raj see Tanya walk out and lets his hand fall of his shoulder he take in a breath and waits impatiently for her. She walks up to him and barely whispers "Raj can we walk out, I need fresh air, please" Raj looks in her eyes intensely "Are you okay" Tanya nodded and walks towards the door, Raj following his pursuit.

Tanya walks out, taking in quick deep jagged breaths as if it hurts to breathe, like her lungs can't expand, like her ribs crushing. Bending over a bit placing her hands on her knees she tries to breathe deeper as if she's out of breath after a marathon. Raj concerned goes over to her and holds her, bends down to face "Are you okay Tanya? What's wrong? Should I call the doctor? Tanya..?" A few seconds tick by and Raj grown impatient, he is about to ask again, but Tanya's breaths slowly return to normal, she straightens up and so does Raj. She looks over to him, "I'm fine Raj, I'm just out of breath sometimes, but it's fine" Raj still not convinced replies "Are you sure? We can still call the doctor if you want. In fact I'll take you the hospital for a check-up, besides the baby needs to be checked-up soon anyways" She sighs and says "Raj really, I'm okay, maybe it's a normal thing when you're pregnant, we'll go on the day of the check-up, please let's just go inside, please" Raj is still hesitant but decides not to argue for Tanya's sake. He lets her walk in front of him in case he needs to catch her fall if she becomes dizzy or something.

The sit back down in their seats both Rd and Trish notice, only this time RD does not have comment. Tanya notices Trish's hand on RD's lap and thinks maybe that's the reason why he's not saying something. Raj is still too busy worrying about Tanya but decides to drop it. All of them go back to watching the movie without saying anything. It's at that moment that Taani grows to love Suri (rather than Raj) as she discovers his passionate love for her. And soon the movie ends. RD and Raj are getting up but Trish stops them "Let's wait for the theater to clear" RD nods and they sit back down. As the theater clears RD finally says something "Well you two didn't much while doing whatever, just the most important part where she declines her love for Raj and goes with Suri! But it's okay ,we'll just buy the DVD so you can watch that part. The room is almost empty shall we leave?" Everyone looks and nods getting up. Walking down the stairs RD gets a call. He excuse himself and Trish fills them in what they missed. RD comes back "Raj drive my car with Tanya, Trishna and I have to go to see a client" Raj confused asks "A client? This late? How will you get there?" RD answers back tiredly "Yes a client, he is refusing a proposal and this is the only time I can talk to him because he leaves for the US tonight. I need my good luck charm (referring to Trish) and Mom is waiting out with a car" Raj is still confused and just says Oh. RD waves them bye and they leave.

Tanya and Raj look at each other not knowing what they should for a while. Then Raj remembers and says "Let's go" This time Raj leads them to the car. Raj opens her door and lets her get in and then walks over to his side and sits down. He starts the car and they leave. Tanya is shivering and it does feel rather cool in the car. Raj notices and goes to turn the heat on. After a minute or so Raj notices that the heat is not working and still is cold. He pulls over and takes off his jacket. Tanya is wondering what he doing and soon finds out when he goes to put it around her. She leans forward as he slides it on her and she looks at him. "Thanks" she whispers and Raj nods. It takes all that he can to turn his attention back to the car so he can drive them home. Tanya stops shivering and calms down, and Raj relaxes. They come to a close road sign "Shoot!" Raj bangs his hand on the steering wheel "We'll have to detour, we might be a little late Tanya" He does not look at her because he realizes that every time he does look at her he gets so mesmerized and can not stop the urge. Tanya on the other hand looks at him and thinks You know RD was right a little bit, that movie does define us some way. Like with Taani Raj is my Suri and in him Rab dikhta hai. He is like Rab and I'm thankful. He takes care of me and loves me the way Suri did with Taani--confused faced--wait no not love, Raj doesn't love me, he cares for me.. Wait he doesn't love me.. Will he ever? Will we be like Taani and Suri? And if it's not love what am I feeling? In the movie Taani was feeling something like this towards the end about Suri, she called it love.. So am I in love? Do I love Raj? Is this what I have been feeling for him? Love?

Her thoughts are broken, the car is shaking on the bumpy road. "Soooorry roooaadd bummmpppy haaii, hooold onnn tooo someethinggg" Tanya is shaky and hold one to the arm handle next to her and Raj holds on to his. The road gets even worse and the car shakes more, frustrated Raj hits the accelerator more and the car jerks; both of their hands fall off in between and the brush. The bumpy road soon comes to end but Tanya's nausea just begins. She feels sick again and moans like in the bathroom. Raj hears her and looks over at her "Sorry Tanya, the bumpy road is over now, are you okay?" But before Tanya can answer she is taking deep breaths and yells out in pain feeling the "kick off the baby"--without the baby kicking--again. Raj looks over at her yelling "Tanya! Tanya tum theek to ho na? Tanya! Tanya tumhe kya ho raha hai? Tanya'" The kicking pain stops and Tanya is only left breathing sharp now, as best as she can "Mein..theek..hoon..it's..just..the'baby..kicking" Raj "Tanya mein tumhe hospital le jaha raha ho, you really need to go, I'm worried out you" Tanya reaches her hand out with looking she finds his leg and place her hand there "Raj please, I'm fine I don't want to go, I just want to rest, please just take me home, please" Raj looks down at her hand and back up at her "Tanya I really think you should see the doctor, but I won't force you, we're almost home so just relax now" Thinking Pssssh relax! How the hell can I relax? You screaming in pain dammit! What am I suppose to do? Just sit here and watch? All evening you been screaming and having attacks or whatnot and I'm not suppose to take you to the doctors? You're so stubborn at time you know that? But this is the last time you'll ever be! Next time this happen I don't care what you say, I'm rushing you to the ER, drag you if I have to! For God's sake I love you too much to see in you in pain like this! making a face wait did I just say I love her too much? Did I say I love Tanya? Do I love her? Had I always known I loved her? I was thinking love, but it couldn't have been! I never felt this way with Trishna.. This is different, it feels so normal but so intense. It make me feel soo I don't know different. Me but not me, love but not love. Wow love! I love Tanya! I feels right to say it! Tanya I love you! I love you Tanya! Yeah it sounds right. He looks over at her smiling, but it soon disappears as he sees her head leaning on the window with tears rolling down on her precious little face Now I know why it kills me to see you suffer, I love you, and now that I know that I can't handle this anymore. You have been in so much pain for far too long and it's over. I'm about to change that. Kasamh se! At the moment he drives in through the gates to their house. He parks the car and gets out, slamming his door. He walks over to Tanya's side mad. He sees her through the window wiping her tears and softens up, he feels a punch in his stomach, but he ignores it as he opens here door, softly speaking "Tanya, are you okay? We're home, let's go in" Tanya nods without meeting his eyes and gets out the car. He closes the door and turn to walks with Tanya. Tanya feels a little lightheaded and walks ad if she were drunk, Raj watches her worriedly, she's about to tip over but Raj comes rushing behind "Sumbhal ke, Tanya" He keeps his hands there to support her; one on her shoulder and one around her waist. He walks her into the house and up to their bedroom.

He walks her over to her side of the bed and gently tucks her in. Trying all that he could to not get upset about her condition. Nothing really major happened Raj, don't get mad. If she yells in pain then react and take her, but not now, calm down, she's fine, just a bit dizzy I bet. He tries so hard to convince himself, with his hands in a tight fist he walks over to his side of the bed. He lays down and without looking over at her he says "I know you're going to say you're fine, but if I hear you scream in pain, I'm taking you to the hospital, not because I like upsetting you, but just to make sure the baby is fine, okay?" He turns off the light and tells her Good Night. But he couldn't sleep for over 2 hours, thought running through his mind. He kept seeing her teary eyed from the car ride, the painful screech she made at the theater and how she almost fell dizzy. And he tried his best to block it out but no success. After an hour and a half of torturing pain he forced himself to see the happy ,smiling, breathtaking, version of Tanya and promised himself that he will see her like that very soon. Doesn't matter what he has to do but he will do it, because he loves her.
