Yaariyan

This is my first story on India-Forum... It's based on the current D3 track. I really don't like the way Taani is being portrayed so I thought I'd write up story in which she stood up for herself and took more control of her life. I hope you like it. It starts from the D3 team saying Taani can't criticize them since she doesn't know dance (April 15th/16th)

New Characters:


Aryaan Chopra: Taani's best friend since they were babies. Aryaan is the son of Taani's father's friend Vijay. He is also in 2nd year college ' like Taani, but he lives in Delhi. He is studying business and he also loves music and sings really well. Taani tells him everything via email, chatting, etc. Rey doesn't know about Aryaan except from when Taani mentions him sometimes. Aryaan still calls Taani by her childhood nickname Tanu.


Nidhi Chopra: Aryaan's little sister who treats Taani like an older sister as well. She's in 12th grade at St. Mark's High School in Delhi and is very sweet. Ever since the death of her and Aryaan's mom, she is closest to Taani. Everyone calls her Choti which is a short form from when Aryaan used to call her "Choti Taani". She is exactly like the bubbly, klutzy Taani from before. She loves making others happy and lives life to the fullest even though she has asthma.

Vijay Chopra: The owner and CEO of Chopra Industries, Mr. Chopra is a very well-known businessman. He was very close to Taani's father and that's why his kids (Aryaan & Nidhi) are so close to Taani and her family. Since Taani's dad died, he is Taani's father figure whom she calls Chachu.

As well as the D3 group and Tauji...

Concept:

As Taani faces hard times with her friends in St. Louis and finds that her Tauji's over-conservative views are creating obstacles for her, she reaches out to her childhood best friend Aryaan. When Aryaan sees that Taani has lost her carefree happiness, he and his sister Nidhi set out to bring their Taani back. But how will Rey react when he sees Taani's closeness to Aryaan? Will these two inseparable friends be forced to sacrifice their friendship?

I hope you guys like it and plz let me know if I should continue with this concept. All criticism is welcome, just no bad comments about TaaRey or D3 plz.

So guys, this is the first actual chapter of Yaariyan... I hope u all like it!
Chapter 1:
In St. Louis – with Taani...
When Taani criticizes the D3 team on their dance, they insult her saying that she shouldn't talk since she knows nothing about dance. This hurts Taani, but she hides her feelings and tries to move on.

*Taani to herself* Yeh log sahi hi toh keh rahe the Taani, iss mein bura maan ne ki vaja hi nahi hai. Aur tum ne unne daata bhi toh tha. Kyun itni hyper ho rahi hai tu? Agar unne teri criticism sahi nahi lag thi hai toh criticize maat kar.

Somehow she convinces herself to calm down, but she's still worried about Tauji finding out about Rey's dancing and all the seminars. So she sits in the library and gets on her laptop to do some work on the seminar planning. Then she sees a Facebook notification pop up: Ary_001 is online. A wide smile spreads across her face as she quickly gets on Facebook.
Purple = Taani and Blue = Aryaan
Aryaan! Kaisa hai tu?

Tanu!! Me teek hoon... Aur tu? Tera woh BOYFRIEND kaisa hai?? ;)

Uff... Pooch mat, itni pareshaaniyan hai yaar. Kuch samaj mein hi nahi aa rahi hai.

Kyun? Tu teek toh hai na? Waise mujhe lag raha tha ki kuch gadbad hai, varna tu ne email ya call kiya ho tha... Kitne din ho gaye tujh se baat nahi ki maine.
Haan yaar… Lekin kya karu, kaam hi itna hai aaj kal. Ek toh woh GS ke saare kaam, upar se ab Tauji bhi aaye hai. Aur Tauji ko dance bilkul bhi nahi pasand hai toh Bhai aur unke beech arguments hote rehte hai.

Tera boyfriend bhi dancer hai na? Yeh toh double pareshaani ho gayi yaar... I'm sure tu ne apni Tauji se Rey ka dance chupayi hai.

You know me so well Ary... But me aur kya karu? Tujhe toh pata hai na, maa toh khud ki bhi faisle nahi leti, jab se… Agar Tauji ne mujhe Rey se door rehne ko kaha toh ??? Yeh soch ke bhi dar lag thi hai.
So kab tak chupane ka irada hai? Ghar mein odd toh lag tha hoga na?
Woh toh hai, kabhi kabhi subah hone se dar thi hoon… Kash tu yahaan hota yaar. Tu stress karne se mujhe rokh pata.

Idea!!! Kyun na subah tu mujh se phone pe baat kaarte kaarte run pe jao, jaise hum dono saath mein jaate the? Me yahaan run pe, aur tu wahaan.

Perfect hai... Aise toh stress kam hoga aur tujh se baat bhi kar paongi. Toh kal subah 6:45?

Teek hai, kal baat karthe hai... Bye Tanu!!

As she closed the Facebook window Taani felt strangely peaceful, as if all of her problems were solved. But really it was just because she could actually open up to Aryaan without worrying about him misunderstanding her. They'd known each other forever, and their level of understanding made it feel like he could read her mind. Even though they did fight and lived so far apart, they still acted and thought like one person.

In St. Louis – with Rey...
When Rey went to the Rehearsal Hall, he knew something was wrong right away. Vicky, Neha, Amar, Bharat, Simmi and Rinni all looked ashamed and Sharon-Swayam looked angry.
"Kya hua guys? Tum sab iss tarah..." He asked as he approached the gang.
"Dekho na Rey, abhi abhi Taani ko paata nahi kya suna rahe the yeh sab." Swayam said agitatedly as he eyed his friends angrily. Because no matter what, Taani was his little sister and he would always protect her.
"Taani ko! Oh god guys, hamesha aisa kyun karthe ho tum log." Rey said, before running out to find Taani.
*In his head* Waise bhi woh kitni tense thi aaj, apne Tauji ko lekar... Kaha hogi? God I hope woh teek ho!
He raced through the halls, checking the fire escape thinking she might have gone there to avoid attention. Then, as he dashed past the library to the media room he saw her. But the funny thing was she didn't seem upset, instead she seemed really happy. He smiled to himself as he saw her help another girl who was trying to hold way too many books at once. She looked in his direction and then smiled widely, gesturing for him to wait for a minute. He watched fondly as she went with the girl to help her before running back to meet him.
"Kaise hai aap?" she asked laughingly after she had caught her breath. But Rey just smiled, seeing that she was truly happy after so long.
"Arre me kuch pooch rahi hoon, jawab deejiye na. Aise kya dekh rahe hai aap?" she asked, snapping him out of his trance.
"Tum sach mein itni kush ho? Matlab mujhe toh laga ki Vicky aur baki sab ne tume sunaya toh..." he tried to ask her carefully, but he watched as her face fell.
"Actually, me bas uss baat ko bhul na chathi thi. Tho hum iss baat ko avoid kar sakthe hai please?" she spoke the words lightly, but Rey saw that this really was bothering her. He felt a flash of anger directed towards his friends, why did they have to hurt her when they knew she was already sensitive? But seeing her watching him, he smiled and decided to deal with them later.
"Abhi toh mujhe rehearsals ke liye jaana hoga, lekin kal subah mile? College se pehle, so koi hume disturb na kaare?" Rey asked apologetically, he really didn't want to leave but he had no choice. He wished he wasn't so busy all the time, but he was trying to make sure he didn't neglect their relationship. He didn't want to lose Taani, no matter what he would have to do.
"Nahi Rey... Kal subah kuch kaam hai, lekin jab yeh NDC ki pehli elimination ho jaye toh hum araam se milenge." Taani replied understandingly. Rey was a little worried by her answer, and found himself feeling like she was avoiding him. But he quickly covered up his confusion with a sweet smile, not wanting to worry his angel any more. So he just nodded and raced off to rehearsals.

In Delhi – with Aryaan...
*Thinking to himself* Kuch toh pakka baat hai Tanu, tu kabhi itni low nahi ho thi ho. Teri joh baatein pehli koi rokh nahi paata, aaj wohi baatein kaarne ke liye itna zyaada force kaarna pad raha hai. But I promise you, me sab teek kardoonga aur teri khusiyaan doond ke wapas laonga. Ab tu bas dekhti ja.


In TaaYam's house – with Taani...
"Thank you so much Krishnaji! Aapne meri aur Ary ki baat karvaiye aur meri saari tension ek pal mein door bhag gayi. Kal subah se bhi dar nahi lagtha, in fact me toh chathi hoon ki jaldi se subah ho jaye aur me phir se Ary se baat karoon. Ab mujhe wishwas hai ki bohot jald baaki sab bhi solve ho jayegi. Aap bas aise hi meri madat kijiye. Goodnight!" Taani murmured to the small idol she kept in her room, before switching the lights off and going to sleep.

Promo: "Ek minute! Matlab Di ne aap se baat ki, lekin mujhe contact karne ki koshish bhi nahi ki?? Ab toh me Di ko bohot daatongi." Nidhi quickly dials Taani's number, but when the phone is picked up on the other side...

Chapter 2A:

So my chapter was too long for me to post in one part so I'll put up part B later today.

In TaaYam's house – with Taani the next day...
RIIING! RIIING!

Taani's hand shot out and shut off the alarm as she rose from the bed smiling. Then she realized something and laughed. "Good morning Krishnaji! Thank you ki aaj itni dino baad mera subah khushi se shuru hua hai. Please aisa kuch kijiye ki aaj ka pura din aisa hi rahe."

She quickly checked the time and then grabbed her laptop, only to see that there were new messages on the school's website. Tears filled her eyes when she saw the rude comments that were being directed towards her. She scrolled down and then gasped at a particular comment: OMG! I DON"T EVEN KNOW HOW REY PUTS UP WITH THIS STUPID SMALL-TOWN B****H. HE SHOULD JUST DUMP HER, SHE'S NOT EVEN PRETTY AND SHE DEFINATELY CAN'T DANCE! SHE'S JUST A TALENTLESS CONTROL FREAK! Seeing this, she slammed her laptop shut and murmured the question that had been haunting her for days: "Kya me sach mein itni buri hoon?"

But then she took a deep breath and reminded herself that Ary – who she could really talk to, was waiting for her. She then quickly went to get ready, in one of her older outfits that was really different from how she dressed nowadays.

(I'm not allowed to post links so you can check out the Roxy make it up tank on polyvore . com.)

*In her head* Me kitni alag lag thi hoon aisi outfit mein. Lekin mera yeh side toh yahan kisi ko nahi pata... Ary kya kar raha hoga? I'm on time, par mujhe pata hai woh sahabzaade ab thak sapne dekh rahe honge.

She then laughed to herself before grabbing her phone, headphones and slipping quietly out of the house. Her legs started moving in the steady pace she was used to as Taani relaxed into the feeling of jogging again. It came naturally to her, as she'd been doing this for years. Popping in her headphones, she dialed Aryaan's number.

"Hey Tanu! Kaisi hai tu?" Aryaan said happily, but she could tell by his voice that he was still waking up.

"Me toh teek hoon, lekin tu abhi tak so raha tha kya?" she asked, laughing fondly at her best friend.

"Haan, abhi 10 minutes pehle hi utta hoon. Lekin me thayaar ho kar nikal gaya hoon ghar se. Abhi jogging shuru kar raha hoon. Aur tu?" Aryaan replied in his usual defensive way.

"Me bhi 5 minutes pehle hi ghar se chup kar nikaal gayi. Woh Tauji wala drama avoid karna tha." Taani replied quickly, rather than stopping to think over her words like she had to in college. From there onwards, they continued their casual conversation throughout the run. It wasn't until she got home that Taani realized 45 minutes had already passed. By the time she finally got ready, even Swayam had left for college.

In St. Louis – with Swayam...

When Swayam entered the college, he quickly messaged Rey to meet him in the boys' locker room.

*In his head* Kal se Rey ko poochna tha ki Taani teek hai yah nahi. Aur aaj subah bhi Taani itni subah chali gayi thi ki baat karne ka mauka hi nahi mila.

Seeing Rey waiting there for him he got straight to the point, "Rey, kal kya bola Taani ne? Matlab woh zyaada hurt nahi hui thi na?" But even saying it like that, he felt ashamed that he had to ask his sister's boyfriend about all of this. He should have been the one to talk to Taani the other day, but these days everything had become awkward between them. When Taani and Sharon were upset with each other, he'd chosen to support Sharon. Now, he could see that although Taani had forgiven him she didn't trust him as much.

"Mujhe bhi pata nahi hai yaar, kal tho teek lag rahi thi lekin woh iss sab ki baat nahi kaarna chathi thi. Abhi tak aayi nahi hai, lekin me ussi ka wait kar raha hoon kab se. Kal bol rahi thi ki kuch kaam hai, aur uska phone bhi busy aa rahi hai." Rey replied worriedly, as his forehead creased with worry. It was obvious to Swayam that Rey really did love Taani, and even though that still felt odd to him he was really happy for both of them.

"Ek minute, Taani toh mujh se pehle hi nikaal gayi thi... Agar college nahi aayi toh phir kahan hai?" Swayam said, realizing that something was definitely wrong. Just then, his phone vibrated with a new message: TAANI – Bhai, Tauji mere saath college aa rahe hain, please kuch kijiye!

"Oh s**t! Taani ko Papa chodne aa rahe hain!" He exclaimed as he realized that Taani's lie could be caught now.

"Oh god, hume sab ko warn kaarna hoga! Chal!" Rey said, springing into action and dragging him to the rehearsal hall. "GUYS!!" Rey shouted, getting everyone's attention immediately.

"Kya hua? Sab teek toh hain na?" Sharon asked, making Swayam's head turn automatically.

"Actually haan," Swayam responded, "Mere dad Taani ko chod ne aa rahe hain, aur unne yeh nahi pata lag na chahiye ki Rey bhi ek dancer hain."

"Lekin iss mein secret types kya hain Swayam?" Aashi asked innocently, as the others murmured the same thing amongst themselves.

"Guys woh hum baad mein baatayenge, lekin abhi ke liye please iss baat ko yaad rakho." Rey said pleadingly.

"Lekin..." Vicky started to say indignantly. But Sharon cut him off, "Sure Rey, joh bhi baat hain woh wait kar saktha hai." she said, her voice ringing with finality.

In St. Louis – With Taani...

*In her head* Hai Krishnaji, kisi bhi tarah bacha lijiye mujhe aaj.

As Taani walked through the college with her Tauji, she was amazed to hear so many people referring to Rey as the basketball captain, AGS and stuff like that. Then, when the dance team came up to them and acted as though nothing had happened yesterday, Taani knew that this had to be her brother's plan. "Accha waise ab mujhe chal na chahiye, meeting hain aur aaj me Delhi ja raha hoon so baad mein milta hoon aap sab se." Tauji said, smiling at all of them before leaving.

"Bhai kahan par hain?" Taani asked, immediately after he was out of earshot.

"Media room mein hain Rey ke saath." Sharon replied automatically. Taani smiled her thanks before running over to the media room. Seeing her Bhai, she ran up to him and hugged him.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you so much Bhai! Aaj agar aap nahi hote toh pata nahi kya hota." She exclaimed thankfully, trying to convey her gratitude for what he'd just done for her.

"Arre apni choti behen ki khushi ke liye itna toh karna padega na? Aise kaise me kuch bhi hone doon tere saath, mere bhi toh kuch responsibilities hain?" Swayam said laughing, then he looked between Rey and her and casually walked out.

In St. Louis – With Rey...

Seeing Taani so happy and the way she hugged Swayam filled Rey with a sense of relief. Not only because he knew that their secret was safe, but also because Taani-Swayam were okay again. By helping him and Taani, Swayam had fully made up for the entire incident with Sharon. Taani was so innocent that now any remaining awkwardness had disappeared. When Swayam left the media room this time, it was so different from a week ago when he'd left this room upset. But Rey could also see that Swayam wanted him and Taani to talk about this situation with Swayam's dad.

"Taani, iss baar toh hum bach gaye lekin agli baar kya karenge?" he asked softly, taking Taani's hand in his and sitting her down so they could talk.

"Woh toh mujhe bhi nahi pata Rey, ek baar mein hi me itna dar gayi thi me. Agar aisa phir se hua toh me toh pareshaani ke maare mar jaon…" Taani trailed off as he lifted a finger to her lips.

"Aisa sochna bhi mat," he said as he perched himself on a desk beside her, "agar aisa kuch hoga toh sirf mujhe." He said, kissing her forehead softly. Taani looked at him for a minute before throwing her arms around him and starting to cry.

"Bohot buri ho…oon na…me?" Taani sobbed into his shoulder, shocking Rey to the core.

"Taani, kya keh rahi ho? Yeh sab tumhari galati nahi hai, agar tumare Tauji ki thinking old fashioned hain to hiss mein tum kya kar sakthe ho? Aur yeh sab toh humare rishte ko protect kaarne ke liye hain so it's about both of us." He said comfortingly as he stroked her hair. He looked at the door and then pulled her out of the room and the two of them slipped into the fire escape without being seen. Then he sat down and sat her next to him. He kissed her eyelids, wiping away her tears with his thumb. Taani hugged him again, clutching his neck tightly as though she couldn't bear to let go. They stayed that way for at least 10 minutes before Rey took Taani's hands and separated them. He kissed both of her hands, holding them in his own.

"Please don't cry Taani, I can't see you cry." He said, his own voice laced with pain for Taani's suffering. Taani gasped when she heard his pain and looked up at him, cupping his face in her hands. Her hand moved softly over his face and she kissed his cheeks softly. Rey turned Taani around to face him and they both sat there with their foreheads together. He kissed Taani's forehead, and then his lips lingered over hers for what felt like ages. He looked into the eyes of his angel, and only after he saw her acceptance, he pressed his lips to hers. And in that sweet kiss they both found peace.

So guys here's the second part to the chapter, sorry for the bad links but I'm not allowed to post links as a Newbie.

Chapter 2B:

Aryaan-Nidhi's house in the evening ' With Aryaan'

"Arrey Kaka yeh Choti kahan pe hain?" Aryaan asked as he thought of a way to mess with his little sister.

"Choti bitiya toh kamre me hogi Aryaan baba. Kuch kam thi school ki." His Kaka replied, smiling at him as though he knew what was about to happen.

"Oh Choti, me toh tujhe baatana bhul gaya. Aaj teri di se baat ki thi maine, lekin tujhse baat kaarne se pehle hi jaana padgaya usse." He said, faking an apologetic smile as he waited for her reaction.

"KYA!! Di ne aapse baat ki aur mujhse kaarne ki time nahi thi? Ab toh me unne bohot daat lagaongi." Nidhi (Choti) exclaimed as she pulled out her phone and dialed Taani's number.

TaaYam's house ' With Taani..,

*In her head* Hai Krishnaji, aaj sab ki madat lene ke liye Bhai aur Rey ne bol diya ki poori baat batayenge. Lekin hum kehenge kya? Please, please, please humari madat kijiye! Me aur koi problem nahi handle kar paongi.

DING DONG

Taani ran to open the door and saw everyone at the door; she took a deep breath and then let them in. The gang sat in their usual positions and her Bhai (Swayam) brought out some food. They all looked at them expectantly, so Taani began to explain what had happened this morning.

* * * * *

"So what you're saying is Swayam apne dad ke against ja kar dance kar sakta hain and tum unne yeh bhi nahi baataogi ki tumara boyfriend dancer hain?" Sharon asked accusingly, staring daggers at Taani.

RING RING Taani's phone went off (Nidhi/Choti).

She automatically slid her finger across the screen, meaning to cut the call but accidently answering it.

"Me samjhi nahi, aap aise kyun bol rahe ho?" Taani asked, surprised at the venom in Sharon's voice.

"Sharon meaning ki if Swayam doing ladaiye for dance why you aise not doing." Neha said, trying to diffuse the situation.

"Exactly Taani, tum aise types karoge toh Rey hi nahi humare poori team ko musibat types ho sakthi hain." Aashi said softly, her voice the kindest as she still liked Taani a lot.

"Haan Taani yeh sab nonsense mein tum dono ko hi nahi hum sab ko problem ho sakthi hain. Aur tum Rey ko iss tarah problem mein kyun dal rahi ho?" Sahron said, looking accusingly at Taani.

"Sharon'" Rey started to say tiredly.

"Oh please yaar, ab yeh mat kehna ki sab teek hai. Tu hamesha apni girlfriend ko support kar the ho that's why yeh problem hui hain." Vicky said tauntingly as he glared at Taani.

"Dekh Vicky, mujhe paata hain ki yeh sab nonsense hain lekin ab toh humare paas aur koi option nahi hain na." Rey said, the annoyance in his voice stunning Taani.

*In her head* Matlab ki yeh sab aap ke liye nonsense hai Rey? Teek hain'

Taking a deep breath, she turned to face the love of her life. But she hid her emotions carefully, turning her face into a cold mask to hide behind. "Ek option hain," she said coldly, "Tauji wapas aayenge aur me sab keh doongi. Aur uske baad woh joh decide kaarenge wohi hoga." She watched desperately for Rey to react, wanting him to comfort her. She'd backed down so many times, forgiving him and then fixing his mistake. Now all she wanted was for him to show how much she meant to him.

"Matlab kya? Agar tumare Tauji ne yeh keh diya ki mujhe chod do toh wohi karogi?" Rey asked, sounding shocked and hurt.

"I don't know Rey." Taani said quietly, her eyes widening when she realized that the words were true. Then she turned on her heel and went to her room, not caring what she left behind. Frustration took over and she threw her phone onto the bed, ending the call that had been running without her knowledge. (BG tune Gustakh Dil)

Music

Taani walks to her window and sits on the sill, looking out as she remembers the time Rey came in through her window and proposed to her.

Gustakh dil,

Dil mein mushkil.

She remembered her happiness, her shock at seeing him that night when she'd been talking to his picture on the computer.

Mushkil mein dil.

"Kya hum galat the?" She murmured to herself, feeling shocked at her own words.

Gustakh dil,

Thoda sangdil,

Thoda buzdil.

She remembered every time he hurt her, and found herself questioning why she'd forgiven him. Rey had only ever caused pain to her.

Dard ke dar pe,

Tehra hain kyun?

Sazaaye sazaaye yeh khud ko kyun deta nahi?

She flashed through all of their bad memories as a couple: him leaving to Goa, yelling at her for Sharon, blaming her of getting Sharon fired and then standing by as his friends insulted her now.

Hasne ki dhun mein,

Rota hain kyun?

Sahi kya galat kya yeh kuch bhi samajhta nahi.

"Understanding aur pyaar hain, lekin izaat' Aur trust?" She said, gasping as she realized that she'd always backed down and followed him.

Gustakh dil,

Dil mein mushkil

Then she remembered all the problems she'd had with her friends, and realized that she'd backed down EVERY SINGLE TIME.

Gustakh dil.

Aye dil' Aye dil' Aye dil'

Taani closed her eyes, resting her head against the window frame as tears trickled slowly down her face. Her dream had always been to find love, but now it didn't seem that great.

Hain barf si,

saanson mein,

Aankhon mein dhuaan dhuaan.

But when her eyes closed, she saw Rey smiling and her friends and her enjoying themselves. She didn't know what to believe anymore, her dream world had been shattered and replaced by a cold reality. She thought of how she'd felt when she was in Jodhpur, adoring Rey for the emotion behind his dance. Even her Bhai had seemed like the most perfect person possible back then. But now'

Yeh har pal kyun,

Khele hain,

Ghum ka, khusi ka,

Juaa, juaa?

Now she could see that her Bhai, her Prince, they were all lies. Lies that she'd been telling herself and trying to make become true; they were just childish, stupid lies.

Yeh umeedo bharaa,

Yeh khud se hi daraa.

"Agar khwaab toot hi gaye hain'" Taani murmured to herself, rising from the windowsill, "Toh unne kyun rakhoon?" she said, quietly opening her cupboard and tearing out Rey's pictures. Then she took a match and burned them, dumping the ashes out the window.

Suljhe daago mein,

Uljha hain kyun?

Saalahe saalahe yeh khud ki bhi,

Sunta nahi.

Now she was unsure of what would happen, but she knew that she would be the one making the decisions. She was done with letting others control her and that was for sure. Wherever she went, whatever she did and everything she said would be by her own choice.

Gustakh dil,

Dil mein mushkil.

But she also knew that she'd never stop loving them all, even if they hated her. Even if it killed her to love them, she still would. "Unhi se toh shuru hui thi meri kahani... Lekin ab isse me khud likhoongi."

Kyun baaton hi baaton mein,
Phisalti hai zubaan zubaan.
Kisi shana theher thi hain,
Behak thi hai nigah nigah.

Now Taani would love and care, but first for herself.
Ye kaise kab hua,
Ye keh do kyun huaa.
Girta nahi tho,

sambhalta hai kyun
Jhukaaye jhukaaye yeh magroor,

Jhukata nahi.

Because somewhere down the line she'd forgotten that she needed to put herself first. She wouldn't act selfishly, but not so selflessly it became foolish.
Gustakh dil,
Dil mein mushkil,
Mushkil mein dil.
Gustakh dil.

Sorry for the tiny chapter + I didn't include Taani's decision yet because I want to add things in between.

Chapter 3:

In Aryaan-Nidhi's house – With Nidhi the next day...

"Good morning Krishnaji! Aaj aapko meri madat kaarna hoga, meri pyaari si Di ko kush kaarne mein. Kal jo maine suna tha woh toh aapko bhi pata hai na? Aur aapko yeh bhi pata hain ki humare parivaar mein Di se hi roshini hain, khaas kar mere liye? Akhir Maa ke baad Di ne hi jeena sikhaya, toh woh khud iss tarah... Acha nahi lagta mujhe. Toh aaj Bhai, Papa aur Badi Ma ke saath kuch plan karne waali hoon me. Aap bhi mere saath denge na?" Nidhi said in the fast-paced way she'd picked up from Taani, racing around the kitchen efficiently. Everything from the way she moved, spoke and even the way she cooked was a copy of what she'd seen Taani doing. After all, Taani was the closest thing she'd had to a mom for a lot of her childhood.

FLASHBACK:

There was a little girl lying on the bed in her parents' room, where she used to lie with her mother and listen to her beautifully singing her special lori. But today she was crying, because her mother was gone. Her brother walked into the room and he slid to the floor beside the bed crying softly as well. Then, they heard the sound of payal (anklets) ringing and someone came running into the room.

She raced into the room and the little boy stood up, a smile on his face for the first time in days. "Taanya... Yahan kaise aayi tu?" he said, his voice shaking as he wiped his tears.

"Kyun? Mujhe pata hain ki Chachi teri Maa th... thi lekin meri Chachi bhi t… thi so me bhi aagayi. Aur mujhe Taanya naam nahi pasaand Aryaan, tu apna special naam hi bol... Tanu aur baaki sab Taani bolenge." Taani said, her eyes motioning to the little girl on the bed and telling her friend to go along with her through her expressive brown eyes.

"Accha teek hain drama queen, tujhe Tanu hi bulaonga. Waise tune Nidhi ko dekha hain kya?" Aryaan asked, immediately understanding what to do. He looked at her to continue but instead sher wiped the tears from his face. They both paused, and the little girl on the bed looked up.

"Nahi yaar, ek ladki hain bed pe par woh Nidhi nahi hain… Nidhi toh hamesha smiley smiley rehti hain." Taani said, while simultaneously making funny little pouty faces.

"Arrey lekin uskeliye kitchen mein uska favorite khana hain… Chalo hum hi khaalete hain." Aryaan said with a shrug. But then Nidhi (the little girl) ran past them to the kitchen…

FLASHBACK ENDS

"Tab se aaj tak aapne meri khayaal rakha hai Di, ab time agaya ki me aap keliye kuch karoon…" Nidhi murmured, smiling to herself as she started thinking up a plan.

In Rey's house – With Rey…

Rey paced back and forth around his house, Taani's words ringing in his ears. His face was contorted in disbelief, he still had the same expression on his face that he'd had from the night before. He was in shock, and it was so bad that he didn't even hear the doorbell ringing repeatedly from behind him. Then a voice came from outside his door, "Rey door open karo, me hoon… Sharon!" His best friend yelled, breaking him from his trance. Sighing tiredly he opened the door, and taking one look at the sympathetic face of his friend he pulled her into a hug. He held on tightly as the shock faded away and was replaced by pain.

"Oh god Rey," Sharon breathed sadly, pulling away and dragging him to the couch to sit down, "I knew ki tujhe bura laga hoga lekin tum tho… You can't just do this to yourself Rey, this isn't good for you." Sharon looked straight at him, and he could see his haunted face reflected in her eyes. Seeing this he snapped…

"Toh aur kya karoon Sharon? Taani ko pata hain ki me usse kitna zyaada pyaar kart ha hoon. Aur who bhi toh mujhse pyaar kart hi hain toh aisa kyun kar rahi? Baat karne ki koshish kar tha hoon toh bol thi hain ki mujhe iss baare mein baat nahi karni… Kam ko lekar sab ko apni dushman baana rahi hain, aur ab apne Tauji keliye yeh nayi drama. Matlab who kya expect kar rahi hain, ki me kushi se apne passion ko chod doon? He said, his voice broken and desperate. Sharon didn't say anything, she just hugged him and held on until he calmed down…

In St. Louis – With Taani…

*In her head* Aaj tujhe Delhi wali Taanya ki tarah behave karna hai Taani, kuch bhi kar lekin mast rehna hain. Akhir agar dance team ko parvah nahi hain NDC kit oh unne aise hi rehne de. Samjane se kuch nahi hone wala, bas professionally unhe bata ki karna kya hain aur chali ja. Tere liye yahi teek hoga.

RING! RING! Taani's phone went off breaking her out of her thoughts. Aryaan's name flashed on the screen and she smiled automatically, quickly answering the phone.

"Hey Ary, kya chal raha hain? Abhi toh baat hui thi ek ghanta (hour) pehle…" She said, reffering to when they'd spoken to each other while jogging.

"Kya karoon Jaan, dil hi nahi lagta tere bina." Aryaan sighed dramatically from the other side of the phone. Taani rolled her eyes, but then burst out laughing at her best friend's randomness. At the same time the D3 team passed by her, but she was so laughing so hard she didn't even realize.

"Uff, meri bhi kuch aise halat hain… Lekin kya kare, responsibilities se bandhi hoon. Agar nahi hoti toh bhaag ke tere paas aati!" She replied, her tone equally light and flirty – in a friendly way. She was so tied up in talking to Aryaan that she didn't even notice Rey turn to stare when he heard her say that.

"That's my girl! Ab no more rona dhona Jaan. Bas ek baat yaad rakho, meri Jaan ki ek tear Aryaan ka zindagi ka ek din ki tarah hain. Then I know you won't cry…" Aryaan said, filling Taani with strength with his words, because she knew he was behind her 100%.

"Promise yaar… Baad mein phone karoongi, bye!" Taani said cheerfully, a smile lingering on her face. Even as she entered the Rehearsal Hall, she just kept smiling and laughing a little at the thought of Aryaan's words.

In St. Louis – With Swayam…

When Swayam saw Taani walking to the Rehearsal Hall, he stiffened as he expected the worse. But he was also confused, as he'd also heard Taani in the hallway. When she walked in, he was stunned and he saw the same emotion on everyone else's face. Taani was smiling blissfully, as if she'd forgotten what happened yesterday.

"Excuse me," Taani said, walking in and getting everyone's attention, "Mujhe bas aap sab ko inform karna hain ki NDC ki pehli eliminations next week hain so VP sir ka kehna hain ki aap sab ko rehearsals increase karna hoga. Date final hogi toh who bhi bata doongi." Saying this coolly, she walked out without looking back.

"Guys woh kya types tha?" Aashi said, voicing the question that was on everyone's mind. Aashi looked to him, but he just looked at Rey because he didn't have any answers.

"I don't even know anymore." Rey said brokenly, staring at the place Taani had been standing a minute ago with a blank look on his face.

* * * * * * * *

*In his head* Hai bhagwan! Ab kya hoga?
