"Mere birthday ke din tum mujhse naraz rahogi?" Rey asked her with a cute pout.
"Kabhi nahi!" Taani instently replies.
"that's like my sweetheart" Rey gives a peck on her forehead, she closes her eyes, feeling the moment.
"Rey, Dad ka call aaya?" Taani asked, Rey nodded negatively.
"I knew it, Dad will forget your birthday." Taani said with a angry face.
"Easy sweetheart, he must be busy, you don't worry, he'll call." Rey said and started taking step towards her and Taani was taking back steps.
"Rey, you are getting late." Taani said to him.
"For?" Rey asked.
"For office!" Taani said and her back hits on wall.
"Today, No office!" Rey said and keeps his both hands around Taani on wall.
"Why?" Taani asks.
"Because.." Rey says.
"Because..?" Taani asks in confusion. Rey comes near her ear and licks it.
"You still want me to go?" Rey whispers sudductively in her ears.
"Yes! Rey jao or else." Taani warns him.
"Or else?" Rey asks with a smirk.
"Or else, one arm distance for 2 weaks." Taani says, Rey looks at Taani with wide eyes.
"What?" Rey shouts.
"3 weaks!" Taani said.
"You can't do this!" Rey said.
"1 month" Taani said, Rey closes his eyes and takes a deep breath, then picks his bag and was about to leave, but Taani pulls him towards her and kisses his cheek.
"Come soon!" Taani says, Rey niether gave any expression nor said anything and leaves.
"What Taani? Ho gaye na Rey naraz.. ab manana padega!" Taani says to herself and gets busy in her work.
Rey reach his office and comes to his cabin. Everyone was wishing him, suddenly his phone rings. He thinks that its Taani's call, to irritate her more he don't picks it, he don't even sees the caller ID.
"1 month one arm distance!? Really? You will get punishment for it my sweetheart, wait n watch!" Rey thinks and smiles.

"I am damn sure, vo Taani tumhare sath hogi isiliye you aren't picking my phone. Varna why you'll ignore my phone? Haina Rey? Bas aaj ka din phir my journey of becoming Mrs. Kria Reyansh Singhania from Miss. Kria Ghai will start." The girl is Kria. She comes near Rey's picture and careress it.
"Happy Birthday Rey!" Kria says and smiles evily. Suddenly her phone rings, she don't sees the caller ID and picks the call, she thinks its Rey.
"Hey Rey, Happy Birthday!" Kria says.
"Rey?" A unknown voice came from other side of phone.
"Tum? Bolo kya kaam hai?" Kria said.
"Vo, I called to inform you that your work is done! But my money haven't reached me yet!" The caller said.
"You'll get them soon shivam! Now stop irritating me!" Kria cuts the call.
"If I'll not get my money then you'll never get your Rey, Kria. Mind that!" Shivam said with evilish look.

In Evening, Rey comes back and was about to ring the door bell but before he rings it, the door opens and there she was standing in a red and black designer saree looking beyond beautiful. He was looking at her with a intense look, but he comes to his senses and remembers that he was angry on her. He pushes her aside and step inside. She looks at him a disbeleave.
"Rey, I am sorry!" Taani says, holding her ears, head down. Rey looks at her and his heart melts but he maintains his angry face.
"So, You want forgiveness?" Rey asks and keeps his bag on table, loosens his tie. Taani nods her head in positive.
"Tou get ready for punishment!" Rey says and Taani eyes popped out in shock.
"Rey, you'll give me punishment?" Taani again asks not able to beleave what he said.
"Yep!" Rey comes near her, their nose were touching to each others.
"Fine, I am ready!" Taani closes her eyes. Rey just smiles at her and kisses her nose.
"Princess, why are you so cute?" Rey says with a smile and hugs her.
"Matlab you were not angry at me?" Taani asks with a questioning look.
"Tumse bhala koi angry reh sakta hai?" Rey broke the hug.
"Rey, aap na bohot bohot bohot bure ho. You know, I was so tensed. Pura din main soch rahi thi ki aapko kese manaungi but you, you were just joking. I will not talk to you!" Taani says and pushes him and goes to her room.
"Taani, sweetheart please listen to me. Please open the door." Rey pleads from the other side of door.
"I don't want to talk to you!" Taani shouts back. Rey pleads again but she wasn't opening the door, then Rey decided to get inside by window.
Rey knocked the window, Taani confusingly opens it. She was shocked.
"Rey, aap yaha? Kese? Kyu? Aapko chot lag jati tou?" Taani asks her all questions in one breath.
"Taani, help!" Rey said. Taani helps him to get inside.
"Sorry!" Rey makes a puppy face, holding his ears. Taani hugs him. They both were lost in each other when Taani's phone rings. Rey looks at her irritatingly and she picks the call, it was of sharon.
"Sorry to disturb you Lovebirds, but everyone is waiting for you and your husband.
Where are you both? Kahi raste mein sunsaan road ko dekh kar shuru tou nahi ho gaye?" Sharon teased her, Taani blushed hard, Rey looked at Taani confusingly.
"Shat up, we are coming!" Taani said and both hungs up the call.
"What happened? Why you were blushing?" Rey asked her with his one eyebrow raised.
"Nothing! Lets go!" Taani said and both leaves to the party.

A old man, dressed in a 3 peace suit steps down from a black BMW. He looks at his watch and it was showing 9 O'clock. He entered in a hall, lights were off. As he entered all shouted Happy Birthday, lights on but all became sad as it was not Rey.
"Namastey Karan uncle! Sorry, we thought you're Rey." Swayam came infront and touched his feets.
"Its okay, but where are they? Haven't they reached yet?" Karan(Taani's dad) asked getting little bit angry.
"Vo Uncle, we called Taani.. She said they are on their way." Swayam tried to defend Rey as he knows the truth, about Karan not liking Rey, especially for Taani.
He just let them marry because of Taani's wish or should say her stubbornness. He is in her blood. She can't even think a day without him and same goes with Rey. His small world starts from her and ends on her.
"Guys! Rey is here." Sharon shouted as Taani messaged her about their arrival.
Again lights were off, all hided included Mr. Shikhawat.
*
They both entered in the hall, holding each others hand. Taani suddenly kissed on Rey's right cheek, Rey leaved her hand and was about to kiss her but he found her missing.
"Taani!? Where are you?" Rey shouts.
All comes out and shouts "Happy Birthday". Rey was not shocked because he expected something like this only.
"Thanks guys!" Rey said but he was finding her. He was waiting for the surprise which she promised, will be the best gift for him.
"Taani ko dhund rahe ho?" Sharon hugs him and asks. Rey smiled sheeplessly.
"Sabar ka fhal meetha hota hai bestfriend." Sharon teased him, Rey passed a glare to her.
"Reyansh! " Karan called him, All got busy and Rey excused himself.
"Hey Dad!" Rey greeted him with a smile.
"Happy Birthday! Sorry, I know I am late but-" Rey cutted him.
"Its okay dad. I know from always your first priority is work and believe me I Love your this kind of nature. " Rey replied with a smile on his face, sometimes his this kind of behavior make Mr. Shikhawat to think, how can he cheat anyone.
"Where is Taani?" Karan asked feeling her absence.
"I also don't know. She came with me but I don't know where is she!" Rey replied to his question. Karan nodded and leaved Rey alone. Rey felt sad as still their was no improvement in their relation.
