Rishi and his wife greeted them as they entered the shekhawat mansion.
"Aw, my baby, how are you?" Rashmi picked up her grandson in her arms and kissed his cheek. Reyaan wiped his cheek and look at his mother who laughed, knowing how much he hates getting kissed by people.
"Reyaan, she is your nani and he is your nanu." Taani introduced them, pointing at Rishi & Rashmi.
"I know them, mumma. I have met them before too and i like them." Reyaan smiled at them cutely. Rishi & Rashmi smiled at him, who is spitting image of their daughter when he smiles. They all moved to hall and settled there, they indulge themselves in normal conversation, no one talked about past, they lived the happiness of reunion.
Due to his efforts, she was getting her lost happiness back. Everything was coming back to normal, and she was getting all the love and happiness she deserve.
Little Reyaan was enjoying getting pampered by his mother's parents. Swayum has gone out with his wife for dinner, thus they couldn't meet.
*
After having dinner with her parents, and spending some more time with them, They all moved toward the exit and stopped when they spotted Swayum & His wife coming. Taani look at her brother and his wife, who were spitting fire at her
"Dad! What she is doing here?" Swayum asked his father, who glared at his in return.
"Dad, did you forgot what she did to us? Because of her swayum and our friends lost our academy." Sharon stated, she look at Rey, it hurt her more that Rey, instead of supporting his friends, was supporting taani when he knew she is at fault.
"She is daughter of the house, and no one has right to question her. Yeh ghar uska bhi itna hi hai jitna swayum ka hai." Rashmi answered before Rishi could, this time, she won't let anyone hurt her daughter.
"It wasn't because of her, we lost our academy, it was all seema's doing. She was jealous of her lifestyle thus she did all that to take revenge from her." Rey told them, but he could see they are not convinced.
"Oh please! Rey, don't give this revenge crap. We are not gonna believe. You can be with a traitor but we can't." Sharon retorted while glaring at taani, who stood unaffected, watching the drama.
"Mumma, lets go. I don't like this aunty." Little Reyaan said, though he couldn't understand what elders were talking about, but he surely wasn't pleased by the way sharon was looking at his mother, and also, the incident from 2 weeks back played in his mind when sharon shouted at taani, it angered him more.
"Reyaan." Taani warned her son, Reyaan pouted cutely at his mother.
"Stop scaring my poor son." Rey warned taani, feeling his son's behavior absolutely right. He could understand what he must be feeling because he himself was feeling same, angry on swayum and sharon. Taani rolled her eyes at the possessive duo of father & son.
"Swayum, Sharon, you both are no one to decide if she should come or not. Her father is still alive, she doesn't need your permission to come to her own house. Whatever problem you both have with her, I don't care. Keep it yourself and out of this house." Rishi's stern voice boomed, taani look at her father.
"Papa, its okay. I won't come if they don't like it."
"No, taani. I did a mistake years back by punishing you for something you never did, but not anymore. Because of their problem, i'm not going to keep you away from us. You will come to this house whenever you want, and you will be treated with respect and love, like a daughter should be treated in her house." Rishi said to his daughter, Rashmi look at her husband with pride and happiness twinkling in her eyes.
"I don't want to lose my daughter again, promise me that you will come here often to meet us." Rashmi stepped forward and held her hand. Taani squeezed her hand, assuring her.
"I'll maa."
"And you, Reyaan? You will also come with your mumma, right?" Rashmi asked her grandson, who looked thoughtful but agreed making them smile. Taani hugged her parents, rey took their blessing so did reyaan who copied his father, making rishi and rashmi laugh at his antics.
Taani and Reyaan walked out of the house, Rey followed them but stop at the entrance and turned to swayum and sharon.
"By tomorrow morning, you will get proof of her innocence." Rey told them in stern tone and left from there.
