Chapter Nineteen"Rey mein tumhe kabhi akela nahi chod sakti" Taani said wiping off Rey's tears. "Aur please tum yeh sab fizool ki baatein apne dimaag se hata do. No one has left you out. Koi tumhe akela nahi chod sakta mein bhi nahi, because we love you"
Rey looked at her with surprise.
Letting out a deep breath she said, "Yes Rey, I love you. Pata nahi kab aur kaise, but I have fallen for you"
"I love you too Taani, but.."
"But..?"
"You don't deserve me. You deserve someone much more better than me" he said facing his back to her.
"Aur tum kaun hote ho ye decide karne wale?" Taani turned him around harshly.
"Mein..voh..mein.." Rey started thinking on what to answer.
Taani pulled Rey towards herself and kissed him hard till he was out of breath.
"I love only you" she whispered stressing on the word only.
Rey cupped her face and pulled her into another kiss, this one being soft and passionate. He explored all corners of her mouth. He had to break the kiss as Taani was out of breath.
"I love you too" he whispered back and pecked her lips.
That night Taani stayed back and both of them cuddled together and slept peacefully.
Next morning rays coming from the window disturbed Taani's sleep and she woke up letting out a sweet moan. Rey let out a groan due to disturbance and faced the opposite side of the window. Taani smiled seeing the frown on his face and leaned down and placed a peck on his forehead.
"Good morning" she greeted sweetly.
Rey slowly opened his eyes and smiled seeing Taani in front of him with a sweet smile.
"Good morning" he said getting up and pecking her lips making her blush.
Taani tried getting up but Rey pulled her back and now Taani was lying on bed and Rey was leaning on top of her.
"Rey kya kar rahe ho..utho..college jana hai"
"Aaj college jaane ka mood nahi hai" said Rey locking some strands of hair behind Taani's ears.
"Atcha toh kya karne ka mood hai?" she asked.
"Kya karne ka?" he smirked raising an eyebrow making Taani go complete red.
"Rey chup chap uth jao" she demanded continuing to blush.
"Sirf ek condition pe"
"Kya?"
"Tum mere saath date pe chalogi"
"Rey but college hai aur principal sir ne hum holiday just one day ki di hai"
"Arre princi ko maaro gol.. I mean, princi ko beech mein mat lao and answer"
"Rey no bunking"
"Fine then mein bhi nahi uthunga. Aaj poora din aise hi rehte hai" he winked.
"Rey please na" she said making a puppy dog face.
Rey couldn't resist her cuteness and gave in. He got up setting her free. Taani rushed into the bathroom to freshen up. When she came out she saw Rey sitting on the edge of the bed with a sad face. She went and knelt down in front of him.
"Rey naraz ho mujhse?" she asked him placing her hands on his.
"No Taani" he replied looking into her eyes.
"Atcha batao college nahi jana toh kahan jaana hai?" she said pumping up his mood.
"Taani tumhe mere liye apne decisions change karne ki jarurat nahi hai" he said smiling at her.
"Mein decisions tumhare liye nahi 'humare' liye change kar rahi hoon" she said pecking his lips.
"Taani tum itne kisses deti rahogi na toh I'm sure mein aaj room ke bahar nikal hi nahi paunga" he winked.
"Shutup Rey" she said blushing at his thoughts, "abh jao fresh hoke neeche aao isse pehle ki mein apna decision fir se change kar loon"
Taani went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for the two. Half an hour passed by still there was no sign of Rey coming down. So Taani decided to check on him. She went upstairs. Taani entered in without knocking and found Rey only in his jeans. She immediately turned around.
"Taani it's ok tum yahan dekh sakti ho" he said going towards her.
Taani was about to move out of the room when Rey pulled her to him by her waist. She came crashing on his bare chest. Rey moved her hair to one side and started giving a trail of kisses on her shoulder, moving up to her neck. Taani was breathing heavily and Rey was happy to see his effect on her. He moved up her jawline and reached to her lips. She parted her lips and Rey started sucking them as though he was drinking her. Moans were escaping her mouth making Rey go out of control. They started moving backwards till they tripped and tumbled on bed. It's then they realized that it's not the right time to jump to another level.
Giving a quick peck on her lips, Rey got up and said, "I guess hume chalna chahiye."
"Hum ja kaha rahe hai?" she inquired.
"Surprise hai" saying so Rey left the room wearing a shirt and Taani followed him out.
Rey was driving continuously for the past hour. Taani was getting anxious but she was controlling her anxiety. He was driving on the sea link and Taani was adoring the view.
"Wow" She loved the view.
Rey smiled seeing her.
After the next half an hour or so of driving Rey pulled over to park in the middle of the road. She looked around and found they were at the sea shore. She looked around more and recognized the place. She had only seen it in pictures and always wanted to visit.
"Marines!" Taani exclaimed looking at Rey.
"Yes. Tumhe yahan aane ki bohot itcha thi na?" said Rey with a sweet smile.
She quickly got out the car and went near the shore. Cool breeze was blowing making her hair fly. Rey looked at her from the car and was feeling happy to fulfill her wish. He came out of the car and went to her.
"Rey thank you so much. This place is so beautiful!" she hugged him tight.
"You will not say this again ever!" he looked at her sternly.
She bit her tongue and said, "oopsie..abh se no more formality."
"Chalo" he said extending his hand to her.
"Kahan?" she asked him confused.
"Neeche" he said pointing to the rocks.
"Rey no. Pagal ho gaye ho kya!" she was baffled.
"Taani kuch nai hoga chalo. Trust me"
Letting out a deep breath she placed her hand in his and descended down the rocks. Taani tripped on a rock and was about to fall but her savior Rey caught her. They cuddled in the groove of a rock where they went invisible to the world.
"This place is so peaceful" she said.
"Hmmn" Rey said looking intently at her.
"Rey tum aise kyun dekh rahe ho?"
"Taani socho agar mein bhi chala gaya hota toh aaj shayad hum aise baithe nai hote.."
"Rey jo hota hai atche ke liye hota hai.."
"You are right! Agar yeh sab thought mere stupid se dimaag mein nahi aate toh Swayam aake mujhe tumse confess karne ke liye keh raha hota"
"Matlab?"
"Meine kuch dino pehle hi realize kar diya tha ki I love you aur Swayam ko yeh baat pata thi. In fact ussi ki wajah se I accepted it."
"Tum aur Swayam ek dusre se bohot close ho na?"
"Bohot! And that's because we are totally different from each other. Except for looks though" he giggled and continued, "aur tumne toh suna hi hoga, 'Opposites Attract!'"
Taani smiled and said, "Matlab Swayam knows that you like me"
"Even Sharon"
"Tumne Sharon ko bhi bataya?"
"Meine kuch nai bataya. It's just that both of them know me too well. Unn dono ki baat kya kar raha hoon mein..even you understand me so well. Mere bina kuch bole tum meri dil ki baat samajh jati ho" he placed a kiss on her forehead.
"Matlab teen logon ko pata hai humare feelings ke bare mein"
"Teen?"
"Ya teen, Swayam, Sharon and my mom"
"You told your mom..when?"
"Before I confessed to you. Aur mom ko mujhe batane ki jarurat nahi hoti, she understands it, pata nai kaise!"
She saw Rey drifting away in some thoughts and nudged him.
"Mein soch raha hoon ki hum sabko kab batayenge about ourself"
"Jab wapas aayenge tabhi bata denge. Also mom and dad bhi aane wale hai Mumbai"
"Great! Aur yahan bhi sab kal taka a jayenge. Hum kal hi bata denge. What say?"
"Chalega."
"Mom will be so happy on knowing this"
"And my dad"
"I love you" he pecked her.
They stayed in the same place for a long time enjoying each other's company and the peaceful weather.
"Taani, I guess hume nikalna chahiye. Shaam ko traffic bohot hota hai"
"But meko bhook lagi hai" she said with a cute pout.
"Kya khana hai?"
"Tum.."
Rey cut her midway and said, "Taani tum mujhe yahan nahi kha sakti."
She hit him on his arm, "Shutup Rey! I meant tum hi bata do"
"Atcha theek hai chalo"
Both of them got up and slowly climbed up. They walked hand in hand to the chowpaty. The aroma of food made them more hungry.
"Taani lets play a game"
"What game? Meko bhook lagi hai!"
"Sunn toh lo"
"Say.."
"Let's play a game to see who can have more pani poori" Rey said pointing to the pani poori stall.
"Game on"
Both of them started eating plate by plate of pani poori. The crowd present there was cheering for them. After about 15 plates Taani was full. She could no longer eat. While Rey was on his 16th plate.
"Rey you win. I'm full" said Taani.
Rey gave a victory smile after putting the last piece in his mouth. Taani smiled seeing him happy. Rey paid the money and they left for home. They reached home after three long hours.
"I'm so full!" exclaimed Rey.
"Idea tumhara hi tha"
"But maza aaya!"
"Pani poori se bhi neend aati hai yaar" she said yawning.
"Chalo then let's go to sleep, even I'm sleepy now."
"Ek hi bed pe?"
"Kyun? Kal bhi toh soye the."
Taani was looking everywhere other than Rey.
"It's ok Taani. Agar tumhe awkward lag raha hai toh tum bed pe so lo mein sofa pe so lunga."
"No. Tum bhi bed pe hi sona."
"But.."
Taani cut him off, "I trust you Rey"
Rey kissed her and they both drifted off to sleep in each other's arms.
Next morning.
"Kitna atcha hua na ki humari flights ki landing time same thi" said Swayam opening the door.
"Haan. Hum sab saath mein nikle aur saath hi ghar aa gaye" said Sharon.
"Lao Khushi ko do mein usse bedroom mein chod ke aata hoon" said Swayam picking up Khushi who was fast asleep in Sharon's arms.
Swayam made Khushi sleep on her bed and was passing through Rey's room when he found the door open. He opened it further and was shocked to see Rey and Taani cuddled into each other. Sharon came looking for Swayam and she was shocked too. Later Mr. and Mrs. Singhania too came up.
Due to the irritation caused by the sun rays Taani turned other side and now she was facing Rey. His hot breath was fanning her face while her breath sent shivers down his spine. He woke up and kissed her forehead wishing her 'Good Morning'.
"Awe.." Sharon's voice broke their trance and both of them looked at the direction of the voice.
Rey sprung up on seeing the four of them at the door. Taani too got up and hid behind Rey.
"Do din hum nahi the aur yahan pe kaafi kuch badal gaya" Swayam smirked.
Rey glared at him. "Mom, dad, aap dono itne jaldi.."
"Sorry to disturb you two" saying so Mrs. Singhania closed the door taking the rest out.
Rey and Taani quickly ran out of the room and went behind the others to the living room.
"Mom voh.." Rey started but was interrupted my Swayam.
"Mom yeh dono toh bohot atche dost hai isiliye.." he trailed off.
Rey took in a deep breath and said, "Taani and I love each other."
"Jaanti hoon" his mom said.
"Toh aap aise kyun dekh rahi ho?" Rey asked.
"Taani beta yaha aao" she said completely ignoring Rey question.
"Jee aunty?" Taani sounded tensed.
"Taani tum sachme Rey ko jhelne ke liye ready ho" she said and started laughing. And Taani's mouth hung open.
Swayam and Sharon joined her and Rey was glaring at them.
"Haan aunty I'm totally ready" said Taani giggling at Rey.
"Unbelievable!" said Rey.
