Taani SS: Moving On (updated pg 9)

"The Truth"

The breakup had clearly opened my eyes. It had forced me to find my true self again and as much as I wanted to be mad and angry at Rey for saying those words...I thought maybe he was right. Maybe he was right when he pointed out that I had no ambition and I was a woman without a passion. But, that was all to be together with him and had barely anything to do with me being unpassionate.

I DID have a lot of passions...I was passionate about singing, cooking, editing...heck I was even passionate about my business management degree. But, I failed to recognize that in this world everyone needs to prove their stature...and if that's what it takes then that's what I will do.

"Taani beta, I'm home," I heard him yell and prepared myself to execute the plan. I laid out the dinner and informed him that bhai would be late due to rehearsals.

"Tumhara din kaisa tha?" Like always he asked me but this wasn't what I was waiting for.

"Accha tha Tauji," I replied still hoping that he would ask about Rey.

"That's good. And how are your friends?"

"They are all fine...busy with their NDC rehearsals."

"Oh I see...and what about Rey?"

There it was...the question I had been eagerly waiting for. I had prepared myself well for this part...now only if it goes as well as I imagined it to be.

"He is also busy with rehearsals," I replied casually while Tauji stopped eating his dal and with shocked expressions asked, "REHEARSALS?"

"Umm..haan woh Rey is actually also a part of the dance team." My heartbeat was increasing but I kept a calm face.

"WHAT?! But...but..."

"Tauji why does it matter to us what Rey is doing? No doubt that he my AGS and he is intelligent and a great basketball player but that also doesn't stop him from being good at dance. He is good with studies, sports and dance. But again, why does it matter to us...please let's just finish our dinner."

Tauji just nodded after calming himself.

Phew! Well that was done with. Though I know Tauji will find the whole thing hard to digest but at least he knows of Rey's passion.

Now the second thing and the most difficult ... ending the rift between bhai and Tauji. How will it ever happen? I had no idea.

Funny na? I just had a breakup yet here I am planning all these things, but these things I had to do for my family and for myself. This person "Rey" has haunted too many years of my life, it was time that I moved on and thought of other things.

I was exhausted from the day. Too many things had happened. I took my teddy and hugged it tightly hoping that it would somehow fill in that little empty space in my heart. Unfortunately, it didn't and before I could realize I had tears streaming out of my eyes. Rey Rey Rey Rey. It hurt so much to even think of him. Enough Taani! You had promised that you would move on...stop being a cry baby!

Right...moving on.

"NOTE"

So I know that this might not seem like the Taani that we see in the show but I honestly feel that the Taani we got in beginning was supposed to be this light bubbly character who didn't really have this much drama in her life. I am upset with the current track where I only see Taani crying and covering up her sadness. I don't want that. She needs to truely move on to build her persona. Anyway...this is just going to be my version...so if you like it...please READ, COMMENT and LIKE!

-Cheers!
