Chapter 35
"I am gonna miss you alot, Kabiraa!" Taani cried softly and hugged kabir tightly.
"God! Woman, since when you started being so senti?" Kabir snickered, earning a slap on his arm from her. Kabir chuckled and hugged her tightly. More than anyone, he will miss her, its been almost 4 years they have been friends, best of friends to be precise.
"Way to ruin an emotional moment." Taani muttered under her breath, she broke the hug and went to Navya and Alina. She hugged both of them.
"I'll miss you too, Dude." Kabir walked upto Rey and hugged him.
"Me too. I will miss you being a pain in my ass." Rey grumbled, they both laughed.
"If thats the case, then i will be visiting you both soon."
"Anytime, Kabir." Rey smiled at him, they were their only family from past few years and it wasn't easy to go away from them.
"Zaalim pati, Take care of my beautiful." Kabir said to him, glancing at taani who was busy with navya and alina.
"I will." Rey narrowed his eyes at him.
Rey placed his luggage in his car. After a teary farewell, Taani and Rey left for mumbai.

Avantika did the arti and welcomed both of them inside. Taani tighten her grip on rey's hand. A chill ran through her spine, it was first time she has entered this home as daughter-in-law of the house and Rey's wife. She was happy, finally his family is accepting her as his wife.
"Rey, take her upstairs in your room, she must be tired after journey and its not good in this condition." Avantika said to her son, who nodded in response. Avantika asked servants to take their luggage upstairs in their bedroom.
"Come." Rey turned to his wife, who was standing beside him with tired face. He led her upstairs in his bedroom.
"Reyaansh! I am so happy today-" Taan beamed, she threw her arms around him and hugged him tightly once he closed the door the room of their new bedroom. Rey smiled at his wife and embrace her tightly.
"So am i, kitty. Now you take some rest. My kiddo must be tired too-" Rey mumbled, he placed his palm on her lower belly, rubbing it slightly.
"I will, and you also go and spend some time with your parents. They will feel good." Taani said to him, knowing the more he will spend his time with his parent, the more he will be comfortable with them, again. There is still awkwardness between him and his parents, which she wants to go away.
"Yeah! I will." Rey muttered, he scooped her in his arms and made her lay down on the bed then he himself sat on the edge of the bed beside her.
"Call me if you need anything and be comfortable." Rey placed a light peck on her forehead. Taani smiled as he walked out of the room.

Rey was seated in hall along with his parent, they were talking about random stuff when avantika brought up taani's pregnancy topic.
"Rey, which month? And hows baby doing?" Avantika asked him. Rey look at her, feeling happy to see his mother keen on knowing about his wife and baby.
"She is in her third month and baby is doing good." Rey answered his mother, smiling ear to ear while talking about his baby.
"Rey, i know whatever happened in past, shouldn't have but we are sorry for the things we have spoke about her." Avantika apologized.
"That was all in past, mom. Forget about everything and lets start a new." Rey kept his hand on hers, assuring her. Avantika nodded slightly.
"What about you business, Rey? Will you be able to manage everything from here?" Ranvijay asked his son, he was very much impressed by him. In just few years, he had built his own empire and brought it on top.
"I will manage, dad." Rey smiled at his father.
"By the way, I have called kriya home, i want to confront her why she filled your ears against taani-" Rey informed them, the anger was bubbling up inside him for kriya. Avantika and Ranvijay look at him, they were curious too, to know about kriya. Why she did what she did?

"Get up, kitty." He crooned in her ear, earning a slight moan from her.
"Let me sleep."
"You can, but after you eat something and take your medicines." Rey told her, this time in little stern tone. Today his mother, herself has cooked some delicious yet healthy meal for taani, which is good for a pregnant lady.
After lots of attempts, she finally woke up from her peaceful slumber and sat on the bed with a pout.
"Why do you disturb my sleep always?" She pouted in annoyance. Rey let out a chuckle and kissed her pouty lips, which brought a small smile on her face.
"Have your food then we will go downstairs, Manik & Nandini are coming over for dinner." Rey told her, taani nodded making him smile.
