Chapter 18 (a)
Taani snuggle into his arms, a sigh escaped her lips, liking the feel of being in warmth of his arms. Rey dropped a peck on her head and tighten his arms around her.
"I am hungry." She murmured softly.
"What do you want to eat?" Rey asked her, caressing her hair lovingly.
"I want McD's burger and coke." She answered cutely with a cheeky smile. Rey let out a soft chuckle at how cute she was. Rey grabbed his cell phone from the side table and order their meal from McDonald's.
"Taani, i am thinking of joining dad's office, since college is over. " Rey tol her.
"Its a good idea." She muttered thoughtfully.
"Will you accompany me to office?" Rey asked her.
"Then you won't be able to work." She giggled softly, making him smile at her response, it was true though. She was laughing but then, her smile faded away and sadness returned back in her brown orbs.
"Rey, don't you think i am being selfish. I shouldn't smile, because of me, our baby died. I don't have right to live my life so happily." She mumbled sadly.
"No, taani. You are not selfish. You weren't at fault and you have all rights to live happily, you deserve happiness. You were not responsible for our baby's death, it was unfortunate and completely that bas***d's fault but that doesn't mean you should stop living. Even our baby would want you to get all the happiness. Our baby is in better place and its time you accept it." He whispered softly. He held her tightly in his arms. Taani closed her eyes, a lone tear escaped her eye. She hugged him tightly, sharing her pain with him.

"Kriya, you here?" Rey was surprised seeing her at his doorstep at this time of night.
"Rey, i wanted to talk to you. Can we?" She whispered softly.
"Sure. Please come inside." He replied back politely, taani was sleeping in their bedroom, he was going to sleep as well but the door bell ringed and he found kriya when he opened the door. At first, he wanted to shout at her, but didn't, realizing it will be rude.
Kriya followed him behind as he walked inside and they both settled down in living area.
"Now say. What do you want to talk about?" Rey asked her.
"About us." She whispered shyly, confusing him.
"What? What about us, kriya?" Rey questioned her, deep down he had some idea where this conversation was leading to.
"You know why i left, i never wanted to, but i had to and i regret leaving you. The time i was away from you, all i could think, was about you and thats why i came back. I wanted to ask for forgiveness from you and confess to you, that i love you. I loved you then, i love you now and I will love you, always. Will you give me a second chance, please?" She confessed truthfully and honestly, hoping he would reciprocate her feelings.
Rey knew it was coming, but he also knew what he has to answer. There is no confusion in him, he knows what he want. He want taani and he is not letting her go for anything or anyone.
"I respect your feelings, kriya, but feelings are not mutual. After you left, many things has changed in my life. My feelings has changed and i don't harbor any kind of romantic feelings toward you. Sorry, kriya." He gave an apologetic look to her, knowing whatever he had said, had broke her heart. But he had to do it, he can't give her false hopes. She was the girl he liked once, she had sacrificed alot in her life and he would want her to move on in her life and get all the happiness she deserve, but he can't give her any happiness as she expects. His own happiness lies in taani, the girl who is sleeping inside his room, who is sole reason of his existence.
Tears accumulated in her eyes. His every word pierced her heart.
"I guess, its my own fault. I shouldn't have let you go at first place, i should have fight for you." Kriya mumbled sadly, cursing the moment she decided to leave him and the city. If only she had fought for her love, if only.
"Kriya, we can't change our destiny. You and I, were not meant to be." Rey told her, feeling bad for her, but truth had to be told. He didn't want to give her any false hopes. There is nothing between them, nor ever can be. Taani was the only girl he had ever loved and will always love.
"I understand, Rey." She whispered brokenly. And before Rey could say anything to her, she got up and left from there hurriedly. Rey sighed, he closed the main door of the house and walked back in his bedroom.
