First of all, I loved the update. I must admit that I was rather shocked to read the initial section because I couldn't figure out how or why Taani would get drunk. Then I guessed that it might be someone else's doing.
Rey's jealousy really had me smirking because it makes it all the more obvious that Taani's is extremely important for him and her enjoying some other male's company was just torturing him. I hate seeing Rey or Kunwar Amar sad but the possessiveness and jealousy sometimes are needed for us to realize the important of some people in out lives.
As far as Taani's assumption that he was her imagination goes, I can completely believe it because she loves him so much that she could easily imagine him all around the place.
What I loved the most was how Taani opened up to her imaginary Rey and the shock that Rey received on hearing Taani describe him as nice and proclaim her love for him. It was blissful. The emotional quotient was so profound when he pressed her for information and to understand why she was hiding her love for him. It was really good. The realization that his love loved him so much so that she would put herself through pain and distress to keep him safe really shook him.
The news about Taani's pregnancy only accentuates the entire scenario and I honestly loved how you wrote their interaction and I definitely appreciate Taani's admittance of having belonged to only him from the moment he kissed her. He needs to hear that from her lips. It is very clear that they have enemies and probably highly turbulent times ahead and its essential for Rey to know how much Taani loves him as it'll be his strength in fighting against all odds. I also hope to see Taani realize that Rey loves her just as much as she loves him and that they are together in this battle. I especially loved Rey's promise to protect her and their baby and to make sure that no one harms his family.
Also, Taani's outburst at Nicky was very nice. I loved how Rey loved watching her claim her rights as his wife. His romantic approach has me looking forward with anticipation for the next update Amy. I can't help think that Taani will get lost in the moment and his charm and just feel his love and not think about it. However, the moment she thinks, she's highly likely to pull away. I'm going to wait and watch.
I also appreciate the PM.
