TRUE LOVE ALWAYS FINDS IT WAY HOME CHAPTER 4B & Epilogue A&B P - Page 2

Part C

Maya knocked on the door and give Yash the clothes there were tears in her eyes she mouthed sorry to him and left to meet G3 who was speaking to her sons and Aaman "Pankaj tell your bauji I am truly sorry for all that has happen, but if he cannot forgive me I understand. My grandson is afraid of me I represent a demon to him; I never wanted that I always dreamt of holding Yash's son in my arm, playing and showering my love on him just like my other grandchildren but I am sych a foolish selfish woman my baby was with me all those weeks and I did not recognize him I refused to pay attention to that innocent soul and give importance to others who are not mine."

"Ma you are doing it again discriminating against innocent children the twin my not be related by blood to us but they have lived with us since their birth, you accepted their mother as Yash's wife and them as his children; you loved them for four plus years how can you stop loving them now what is their fault just because their biological parents are Aaman and Aripta who are strangers to us? Ma Aaman has proven that he is no less than a brother to us his brotherly love for Aarti and Yash give us all the extra strength to continue our search not to give up when all seems lost. So how can you say the twins are others they are ours your granddaughters too; Yash and Aarti's daughters also mine and Prateek's Ma look what your poor lack of judgement because we almost lost Aarti bahu and Ansh Yash's love, his family, his reason for living; he was already separated from them for five years by those cruel vulgar people; and when he found them and got back his happiness it was violently taken away again now this time for weeks by his ma and bua ji" expounded Pankaj

"Ma if you want to stay away from us it is okay by me as long as you understand your mistake and try to change for the better. It will take time for Ansh to get over his fear of you but with our love and care he will. Right now he needs his parents and his siters to help him heal" said Prateek "Aaman bhayia can you allow Yash and Aarti to have the girls with them."

"Prateek it was never my intention to permanently separate them from Aarti and Yash I am their father and I want what is best for them. I love Aarti as my chote sister and you all are my brothers how could you think I would want to cause more harm than help I know how much you all love the twins and have accepted them as yours. Yash is a different story but I am confident that with all your help he too will accept them one day especially if they help heal Anshu. I have already called my parents they will bring the girls to Bhopal soon."

"Aaman beta I don't know you or your parents but I would love to get to know you all better if you permit, and I apologies for misjudging your friendship with Aarti bahu and her character."

"Auntie Aarti is the one you should apologies to too not me, she is the one who was hurt by your behavior"

"Bhabhi Aaman beta is right we should start by apologizing to Aarti bahu but not in Anshu presence."

In Aarya's room all showered after days of poor hygiene Aarti was drying her long hair and Yash was creaming and dressing his boy. Ansh still clung to his papa and said "papa you are really here right this is not a dream if I go to sleep you will still be here right you won't leave right."

"Yes my champ I will still be here, now time to feed my boy with some hot food and then the doctor will check both you and mama"

They all went to a nearby restaurant G3 and Maya sat away from the group so not to trouble Ansh but Aarti saw them and her give them a weak smile of acknowledgment to which both ladies smiled back.

The trip to the doctor cleared Ansh and he got prescription for vitamins and minerals but Aarti needed a full physical she looked too frail they were told to return the following day for the blood results. Prescriptions for vitamins and minerals were given, also advised to eat every four hours and have nutritious snack in between meals.

Yash hugged Aarti close to him and kissed her all over her face just to make sure that she was really there Ansh was with his uncles playing and they were showering him with so much love and they brought gifts for him and his sisters reassuring him that they were safe they even call Aaman's parents for the kids to chat all cried and expressed how much they miss each other; then they took the phone to Aarya and Aarti chatted with her princesses it was very emotional. As usual Maya was close unseen observing everything she wanted Ansh to hug and kiss after all he is part of her too her bhayia's SP's grandson.

That night Ansh hugged his papa and slept Yash so wanted to hold his wife close to him but right now their son needed him more so he had to settle for a quick kiss when Ansh fell asleep. But Ansh slept was disturbed by his reoccurring nightmares of two witches with sticks chasing his ma and himself; first he started to groan then toss and turn finally screaming out leave him leave his ma! Yash got disturbed by this outburst Aarti told him that Ansh get them nightly since they were thrown out by G3 and Maya. Yash was concerned for his little son the mental trauma his baby went through all because of the aggressive behavior of two ignorant women. Yash watched how Aarti held on to their little champ and rocked him back to sleep Yash took both his wife and son into his protective arms "Aarti when we return home we will get Anshu so professional help" Aarti agreed with this suggestion.

The following morning Aarti had her follow up appointment the results showed that she was pregnant by one month Yash was overjoyed while Aarti was worried she spent the last three week almost starving what nutrition did her little peanut get in these first weeks of gestation would that affect his or hers development? The doctors told that she was anemic and under nourish she was prescribed more medications, and to visit her doctors for follow up treatment.

They told the happy news to the family who was ecstatic Yash vowed to take extra care of his darling wife. Ansh was happy he was going to be a big brother again and immediately declared that he will have a brother. G3 prayed for another grandson and the health of Aarti, Maya hoped that this additional new will make SP heart soft and welcome them back home.

The brothers and Aaman drove back home to Bhopal they allowed AarYa and Ansh to have a couple of days alone family time, while G3 and Maya took the train back home. G3 had discussed they she wanted to go to the ashram where Aarti and Ansh were she wanted her sons to give a donation to the place and both Maya and her would spent some time there serving the lord Maya was not all that keen she had enough of the poor life but knew that SP would not accept her without G3

Aarya did some shopping Aarti wanted to buy some things for her girls as gifts; they visited a couple of tourist attractions for Ansh's enjoyment but he said "Papa next time we visit here my sisters will be with me and I will enjoy more"

This brought tears to Aarti's eyes she knew how much Ansh missed his sisters she looked at Yash for his reaction and he said "Anything that makes my champ happy is fine by me they miss you too I am sure of it. Would you like to speak to them?" and he looked at Aarti

Yash made the call the kids were excited to speak to each other and Aarti again had happy tears then she spoke to her angels who cried that they miss her and she promised to see them soon.

Aarya took a flight to Bhopal two days later Paridhi was waiting at the front door with Arti along with SP the brothers, Aaman. his parents and the twins. They were welcomed in and SP hugged his son and grandson while Aarti was hugged by Paridhi and Aaman's mom the girls climbed up on her for their hug and kisses they missed her so much then the grabbed Ansh hugged and kiss him they made Aarti and Ansh promise never to leave them again, all the adults observed the emotional reunion of the kids all had tears in their eyes the innocence of these babies were threatened by the selfishness of two women G3 and Maya.

Aarti asked about Vidhi bhabhi and Pankaj told she is spending time with her family as punishment for not supporting Aarti and Ansh

Aarti wanted to say something in Vidhi's defense but Yash stopped her and said leave it to Pankaj bhayia he will sought out their problem. Yash lead Aarti to their room which Paridhi and the servants had tried to arrange.

Yash told Aarti to rest that from the next day she can decorate the room as per her taste.

Chapter 1 Part B

G3 observed Aarti reaction to Yash and misinterpreted she thought that the poor orphan widow is a goal digger and a shameless woman to stare at a strange man like that during their first meeting.

The rituals started both mothers did their part then Vidhi did hers the rings were brought and Yash placed the ring on Aarti's finger, then Aarti placed the ring on Yash finger she was confused he did not recognize her how come Yes it was almost five years but still was it all that bad, she noticed he moved his hands quickly away as if he was struck but current or a sudden wasp's sting. At least he give some indication that he is alive and not a robot.

Shoba said that AarYa should talk in private and SP agreed but G3 was against stating what was the need they are going to be married and will have all their lives to talk? SP told that they can talk and give his wife a look to shut up.

Aarti took Yash to the gardens they just stood there looking at no way in particular Yash ji I was told you have two daughters twin

Yes Aarti ji they are four years old and I was told that you have a four year son

Yes he is my pride and joy my Ansh Aarti looked at him closely to observe for any reaction with this information he had no reaction not even when he mentioned his daughters. What is wrong with him she wondered was he in some sort of accident and have amnesia, is he ill with some mental problem? What is his story? Aarti looked at him closely he was even more handsome than she remembered, his body looked leaner but his clothes revealed his well-defined muscles no wonder her married friend Mansi was drooling over him.

Aarti ji I am sorry to hear about your former husband he died before your son was born I am told; my wife died in childbirth we were not married long; but I want to tell you that she is the love of my life my soulmate I cannot be the husband that you want because my heart belongs to her my Aripta but I will try and be a good father to your son and all I ask is for you to be a good mother to my daughters and a good bahu to my parents.

Aarti was heartbroken Yash had forgotten about her and now his heart belonged to his wife Aripta tears came to her eyes Yash noticed her tears and said I am sorry if I hurt you but these are the facts love true love happens only once in a lifetime and my true love is Aripta.

Who is this Aripta Aarti wondered and how is it that they have four year old twins when Ansh is four years old and Yash was a part of her life when did he meet this Aripta the only person with that name that they both knew from the past was the daughter of the people Aarti rented a room from, could it be her.

They we called back inside for G3 to interrogate Aarti; Ansh came from preschool and he called his mama while running to wards her. All stated at the little boy who resembled his mama even his voice had the same husky tone, but there were also some familiarities that SP recognized as Yash's the way the boy stood and smiled at them, then came and greeted them "This is Ansh my son he is four years old a big boy" and she looked for any reaction from Yash who smiled back at the boy and said "come here Hello I am Yash your step father after your mama and I get married you will call me papa and you will have two step sisters to play with okay"

Ansh stared in amazement at Yash and ask "will you play games with me and teach me stuff like my friends papa does?"

"Yes I will try my best" was the honest simple answer Yash give he felt a strong emotional pull to this boy stronger than with the girls whom he avoided most time because he just felt no connection with them, they were just there a part of his life and his family thought it was because he loved Arpita and blamed them for her death

Aarti was confused and nervous for those two weeks she tried to find out what was wrong with Yash she spoke to Prateek who told that Yash was in an accident five years back and he suffered amnesia had to learn all about his family again, but his wife pregnant Aripta was there with him that he did not even remember her then she died in childbirth.

Aarti asked where this accident was and he said Yash was on his way home from the airport and the taxi was broadsided by a truck Yash got damaged but Aripta was saved a miracle since the driver died on the spot. Aripta's family contacted us with the details.

Oh no Yash was on his way home to tell his family of their marriage and her pregnancy with Ansh and then after that she heard nothing more from him she thought that he had abandon her and her baby. Prashant felt sorry for her and offered marriage and took her to his parents in Indore then after four months abandon a seven months Aarti divorcing her and marrying his love Neha. Prashant's parents only found out the truth that Ansh is not their grandson a few weeks ago from Neha this lead to them wanting her out of their lives but were descent enough to find a husband for her, and father for Ansh instead of throwing them into the streets homeless.

The wedding came around after two weeks it was a grand affair because it was a double wedding Yash younger brother Prateek also got married

After the post wedding rituals Yash carried Aarti to his room, in there she saw Aripta's pictures yes it was her the same girl her ex landlord's daughter, Aarti wondered how come she claimed to be Yash's wife when she was having an affair with Aarti's friend how did she find her way here in Bhopal and claim Aarti's place in Yash's life?? Why did she do this big lie and where are her parents? They were not present for the wedding today or for any of the rituals.

When Aarti met the twins during the pre-wedding rituals she noticed the resemblance to someone familiar but thought nothing of it now at that time; now it made sense as she give it some more thought the girls resemble their mother and their father did Yash also noticed the resemblance that is why he does not show them love. Aarti had noticed the indifference Yash had to the girls it was like they did not exist for him no matter how much his family tried to get him to bond he just did not care for them but with Ansh he happily chatted away much to the annoyance of G3 and Maya.

That first night in the bed room Yash said there is the couch you can sleep there if you want or take some sheets and make a bed on the ground I will not share my wife's bed with you. It is bad enough that we have to share a room for appearance sake but that is all my wife's things are to remain in its place you are not to touch any of her stuff. Do I make myself clear?

Aarti wanted to cry and shout that I am your wife your first love and wife the mother of your son Ansh but he looked so serious and dis interested in her that she said nothing just watched him take a towel and go into where she assumed to be the washroom.

Yash had to get away from her as quickly as possible her presence was making him have strange feelings his body was reacting to her presence he noticed it from the very first day their engagement; from that night he started to have strange dreams of him and her in bed in a strange room in a strange house and surroundings; he never had any such dreams with Aripta or even felt like touching her during their short marriage; he always thought that it was because of his accident and her complicated pregnancy were the reasons for him not getting intimate with her. But with Aarti it was so different lust at first sight he smirked, sure that is all it is and he went and had a very cold shower.

When he came out Aarti had spread a sheet on the ground and had removed her jewelry, and dupatta she had her towel and change of clothes in her hand Yash ji where the washroom is he pointed in the direction ad she went to have her bath. Yash thought wow she is beautiful but should keep her hair open, he mentally scolded himself then looked at Aripta's picture and said sorry. Yash took his place in bed and dimed the lights.

Aarti came out she had no clue where to put her things so she left them on her bags and made her way to the sheet on the ground she used a towel as her pillow and went to sleep.

Yash observed her actions but said nothing he thought she placed the wet towel on her bag very sloppy of her, and I don't recognize that sheet and why did she not take a pillow or cushion.

Part C

Yash felt a sense of shame making her sleep on the floor but he did offer the couch he consoled himself she choose not to use it, and he wondered if she was comfortable lying there he was sure the tile was cold. He continued looking at her thinking why do I care Yash eventually fell asleep to be woken by her singing and doing arti in the far corner on the room her voice familiar this scene seems so familiar to him it is as if she sensed him turn around and smile Namaste Yash ji I am going to tend to the children then go to your ma for the rituals and she left the room with toiletries and clothes for Ansh.

Aarti met a servant along the way and asked to be showed the children's room Ansh was awake lying on the floor and the girls asleep on their bed Ansh ran to her mama I slept on the floor why you put me there

Beta good morning I did not put you there maybe you fell during the night anyhow come and go to the washroom I will wake your sisters up. The girls were surprised to see her they first thing they asked her was if she will beat them because they don't want to share their room or bed with a boy.

Aarti said that she will not beat them but they should wake up and get ready for the day she will be back and she went and checked Ansh in the washroom she assisted her son listening and answering his questions, then she helped the girls get ready for the day.

Aarti made her way to the kitchen G3 was not pleased because she was late for the rituals and Paridhi was also not there as yet. Ma ji I was helping the children get ready for the day but the older lady still was angry complaining that all she knows is how to make excuses.

Paridhi finally arrived and they did the rituals Paridhi had no clue what to do and Vidhi tried to help her but G3 and her female relatives would have none of that and they taunted the new bahus.

They commented about the breakfast and sweet dish and give their gifts of course Aarti got small cheap gifts compared to Paridhi

SP give his new bahus diamond jewelry sets and for Ansh a gold chain and id bracelet with the name Ansh Yash Scindhia engraved in it. This shocked G3 and the relatives, he bold acceptance of the boy as his own.

Yash ate his food the sweet dish and two of the curry tasted so familiar the texture, taste, aroma he is so familiar with it like he had a many of times before but where and how?? Even when she served him before his mother intervened it was like she knew his likes and dislikes his preferences but how he was so confused. Aarti closeness was driving him insane he needed some air some space from her, so when his bauji said that they had to go to the office he welcomed the idea with open arms

For the next month Yash tried his best to avoid Aarti while she did her best to be a good mother to the kids and bahu to the family. SP liked this bahu she was respectful and kind took good care of the kids and them; quietly helped Vidhi bahu with the cooking; she too took the insults from G3 and Maya and said nothing just like Vidhi but Paridhi tried her best to dodge housework and made numerous excuse to visit her mother friends and the latest to finish her collage course SP knew that she was still working as an RJ and G3 allowed her to go but he was waiting to see how long G3 was going to support Paridhi and if the three of them would ever tell him the truth Prateek he considered to be a weak boy allowing his wife to rule him, and not having the guts to tell his father the truth.

Flash back SP Version

Little did his family know that before SP gives his consent for the marriages he had some investigating done about both bahus and their families Aarti came to his attention when he saw her at the temple he was there with an old friend and Aarti mistakenly bumped onto him she was very respectful after and his friend recognized her because she did some freelance work for him and he knew the Dubeys because they lived in the same location, then he met her at a wedding he was the event planner at she was the best friend of the bride and good things were said about her and her son SP saw the boy and was immediately drawn to him he looked so familiar that he loved the boy on sight and wanted him as his grandson. Then he met the Dubeys spoke about the proposal with them he told about his son's life and they told him the truth about Aarti; their son's relationship with her how Prashant met her, why he married her and left her, the truth about the baby's father and her first marriage. How they want to go and live with their son and bahu who is now expecting their own child; but felt obligated to find a home for Aarti since she has no relatives of her own it was SP idea to tell all especially G3 that Aarti is a widow. SP on a hunch asked the Dubeys for a shirt of Ansh because he wanted the size of the boy so his wife could by clothing to gift the child. While Shoba went to get the shirt SP saw a small car next to him on the sofa unseen by Dubey he took the toy car and placed it in his pocket. After SP left he put his plan into action Yash's hair brush the toy car and shirt was taken to the lab he wanted a DNA test done the technicians explained that they will try their best but don't hold much hope. Lucky for SP little Ansh had cut his finger while playing with the car so there was some dry blood to test also the shirt had a couple of strands of hair on it Shoba did not realize that Ansh had worn the shirt folded it back and placed in it in the draw The results came and it proved his hunch right Ansh is his grandson his yash's son and aarti is his first wife, SP never liked Aripta and he did his own investigating of her family and it all made sense now Yash secret life in Delhi the greed he saw in both Aripta and her parents eyes, why he could never find any record of a marriage certificate for Yash and Aripta but found one for Yash and Aarti. Why there were no photos to show their marriage; why despite everyone telling Yash that Aripta is his wife he could not connect with her everyone her parents including said give it time that it was because of his accident he felt like this. Aripta and her parents convinced him and the family especially that Aripta is the love of his life his true soulmate the fabricated a story how it is love at first sight how they are unrepeatable and the confused Yas fell for it hook line and sinker, so did the foolish G3 but he SP never trusted that family and they realized this so they kept their distance from him. They stayed until Aripta's last rights only returning for the naming ceremony but asking for the girls a couple of time for the year to holiday with them. SP made sure that he was the one to take and bring the twins back because he wanted to observe them, last year on another hunch he did a DNA test and found out that the twins were not Yash's he confronted Aripta's parents who told the truth to him how Aarti was their renter and a friend of Aripta's boyfriend. That they met Yash through Aarti and were present at their wedding; that Aripta was pregnant and abandon by her boyfriend; how they were in Bhopal searching for Aripta's boyfriend when luck had it they saw the accident and recognize Yash went with him to the hospital when the Scindhias came the assumed that they were friends of Yash and when he called for his wife G3 assumed that it was Aripta, then when it was discovered that Yash had amnesia we saw their opportunity for wealth and a family for their daughter and they took it. Aripta's father forged a letter claiming that it was from Yash's parents to Aarti refusing to accept their marriage and child claiming that Yash had died in a mugging the victim of a fatal gunshot. SP was disgusted at them and threatened them with imprisonment for fraud but he had to find Aarti first that made him start the search for Aarti and the grandchild but he searched in Delhi not thinking that she would be here in Bhopal or even Indore then god answered his prays and he found her and his cute naughty grandson. The twins he felt sorry for what kind of a life would they have with grandparents as greedy manipulating as Aripta's parents so for humanity sake he kept them in his family and his mouth shut.

End of Flashback

Aarti he knew that she is an accountant with a good reputation she would be an asset to the family business but that meant breaking the family's tradition of stay at home bahus but then again G3 was allowing Paridhi to work he would have to do something and soon.

Yash was still avoiding Aarti and being his old work alcoholic self and avoiding the girls but Ansh he made time for the boy in the evenings even bathing and putting him to sleep, he would put him to sleep in bed but somehow Ansh would wake up on the ground in the mornings.

Aarti continued to sleep on the floor and keep her bags hidden in a broom closet in the washroom; the day after their marriage she opened the cupboards to find a place to pack away her stuff and saw it filled with Aripta's and Yash things. Aarti thought for someone who lived with him for only a few months she sure accumulated a lot of expensive things, then from the little she knew of Aripta this was expected. Yash caught her there and yell at her for intruding on his and his wife's private things, he insulted her so badly that Aarti ran into the washroom and cried her heart out; who could she go to too talk she was all alone, who could she complain too that another woman stole her life her love her son's life his name and legacy. From that day she never opened any more doors or draws of that cupboard she would iron his clothes and Ramdularie would hang them up or pack them in the draws.

Yash was upset after he yell and insulted Aarti he wanted to run after her and comfort her but he felt if he did that it would be insulting to his Aripta that he would be committing a big sin by holding Aarti giving his care and comfort to a stranger so he just stood there waiting for her to come out of the washroom but instead he heard her sobbing when she did come out after some half an hour her eyes looked red and puffy he was sitting on the couch with his laptop and she walked passed him not even giving him a second look. For the rest of the month she only spoke to him when it was necessary and it concerned the children, she made her bed lied down and covered her head, got up early every morning prepared for the day did her prays, go attend to the kids and help Vidhi with the house work.

The girls were so young and starved for a mothers love at first they rebel against her but Aarti was patient. While both G3 and Maya never missed a chance to insult the poor orphan whose caste was unknown and she was secondhand goods. In their eyes she was a cheap s**t a goal digger; that he son would grow up to be a criminal because Aarti was a bad mother with no values look at G3 three educated business men for son

SP had enough of their behavior he pretended that he was unaware of their taunts on Aarti because he was hoping that Aarti presence that trigger off some memory in Yash and he would remember and defend his wife and son but sadly that did not happen. G3 and Maya were careful and choose their words which they said to her in his presence.

SP during dinner told that he was sending Aarya and kids to Mumbai for a six weeks' vacation to their beach house there. That they had to leave early morning for their flight; G3 wanted to complain but one look and a raised hand from SP stopped her in her tracks

Aarya was not pleased but SP told that they are newly married and Yash has been working nonstop for over four years so he is due for some vacation and the children needed to bond with their parents

Friends i want to finish this first as the ideas are still freah in my mind then i will update my pending stories 😆 so i may update give frequent updates during the next week 😆 do read and enjoy 😆

sorry for the mistakes

Part D

The girls played with Ansh they questioned him about where was he, they told that they were with nana and nani in Mumbai, they commented about how thin Ansh was and also mama if they weren't getting food where they were; if it was a bad place, why did they go there, they spoke of their dream with the witches grabbing mama and Ansh if the witch was the one whom sent them to the bad place. They said that they thought that mama had left them just as their first mama did; they believed that they are bad girls that is why their first mama left them when they were babies, and papa don't love them then now their Aarti mama left them and papa sent them away as punishment.

The adults heard the innocent talk of the kids and Yash told about his wish to have a professional speak to Ansh SP said that all three kids needs help judging by their conversation all the adults agreed

Aarti told Yash that they need to speak with the kids and that they should play with them while getting them ready for bed, encouraging them to say how they feel. Yash agreed because he was feeling guilty about what the twins said.

Aarti took the girls and bathed them she played a game with them while bathing them and they laughed and jumped in the tub causing a mess but Aarti did not mind her girls were happy they told how nana ji bathed them every day and she sang to them while dressing them. They also said before mama came daadi ji, daadi bua ji or tayi would bathe and dress them but would not play with them only chachu and taya played and told stories also Ramdularie Kaka would tell stories to them.

They hugged their mama and cried begging her never to leave them again that they will be good girls so papa will also love them. Aarti hugged them close and told that she will never leave her angels again because she loves them so much, and that papa loves them too, it is just that he is scared to show it because he fears them leaving him too like their first mama but with their help and love he will no longer be scared.

But mama he loves Ansh and plays with him why? Is it because he is a boy?

Aarti told that their papa don't know how to play with girls because he has no sisters and no girlfriends growing up so they will have to be patient and show him how to play with them. This made the twins feel much better especially when mama said that they three will help him talk and play with his girls.

Yash was standing at the bathroom door and he heard the conversation, he was deeply affected by the longing in the girls voices he may not be their biological father but he is the father figure they known all their young lives, and it is only right that they would seek love and acceptance from him.

That night the kids wanted to sleep with their mama so Yash had the idea of placing the mattress on the floor of the kid's room and all five would sleep together there.

The girls held on to Aarti and Ansh his papa they wanted a story and Yash quickly made up one based on their family with a very happy ending Again Ansh had his bad dream but it was not as horrible he held on to his papa tightly and his little body trembled until he fell asleep; as if on que the girls also had their moment where they cried and call out for their Aarti mama but also fell asleep when they heard her voice soothing them back to sleep Aarya looked at each other with understand this whole incident has a bad impact on their angels and they need to seek professional help soon for their angels.

The following days the kids barely left their parents for any lengthy periods; they played with Aaman and his parents who stayed back because they wanted what is the child psychologist diagnosis and treatment; their uncles and dada ji showered them with so much love but they still wanted their parents close to them.

SP got them an appointment with a child psychologist who spent a couple of hours playing with them she got them to role play their family with dolls and through the dolls they acted like their family members.

The psychologist told AarYa that they kids are affected deeply by their home life and she needed more sessions with them, that the twins fear their father, and the grandparents makes them feel loved sometimes and then other times they feel rejected by them. They love their new mama very much and the don't ever want to be separated from her that during the three weeks separation they thought that they were bad girls that is why she left and took their bhayia and their papa was angry with them so he sent they away. They said that the cried and prayed every day for their mama to return so that papa would bring them back home and they could be a family again

Ansh feels the loss of his papa strongly; the three weeks separation make him fearful because he did not have his papa in the early years of his life and he fears losing his papa again now after finally finding him; he is also traumatize because his new daadi ji and bua daadi ji don't love him they don't speak or play with him and they call him and his mama all sort of mean names; one night they woke him up and threw both his mama and him into the rain and chase away them from their papa.

The three kids call their grandmothers the evil witches after the fairy tales they are read.

Aarya was heartbroken after the Dr showed them the cd of the session the kids were acting out their family roles to the letter of every ones character.

The adults discussed what the Dr said and Prateek observed how stressed AarYa were that was not good for Aarti so he arranged with Pankaj and Aaman for them to take the kids for the reminder of the day and night. SP, Paridhi and Aaman's parents joined they took them for playtime in the park, then a movie and dinner then again for a nice long walk in the garden of the hotel they had dinner in lucky for them there was a play for kids taking place in the same garden and the little trio enjoyed themselves their mind was distracted from their parents and the fell asleep. Prateek took Ansh to sleep with him and Aaman took the twins.

Aarya was grateful for their time alone they spent the afternoon in bed loving and exploring each other to their hearts content, followed by a leisurely bath enjoying their private time together rebuilding their relationship brick by brick on the firm foundation of love, trust, support and respect for each other.

Yash worked with Aarti in the kitchen cooking their favorites dishes but that progressed slowly because he back hugged her most of the time and rained kisses on her neck and face, holding her hands as she stirred the pots. Only after some gentle scolding and fake anger on Aarti's part did Yash sit at the table and help cut vegs for the salad.

They had their dinner on the terrace adjoining their room enjoying the night's sky, reminiscing about their time before their marriage in Delhi their courting day, the plans they had for their happy future then of course all the problems they faced in the last five years during their forced separation; vowing to always stand by each other in all the good and bad times, they spoke about their kids and came up with the conclusion that it is in every one's best interest if the twins live with them and when they are old enough they will tell them the truth.

Aarya were sitting in their front garden enjoying the night when the family returned the kids fast asleep Prateek told that they would take care of them for the night giving Aarya more time alone to enjoy.

That night in their room they again had a hot steamy passionate encounter completely satisfied they slept in each other's arms happy and secure in their love.

Paridhi spent her time since Aarti return apologizing for her behavior she helped with the house work told Aarti that she will help with the kids and allow Aarti to rest as Drs said she needed to eat regularly and take rest.

Pari told about the problems she had with the responsibility of the house thrown at her together with looking after bauji who was so worried about Aarti, Ansh and Yash, she had to make sure all his medications and meals were taken on time and be the punching bag when he became frustrated over not finding both Aarti and Ansh; that she too had to mentally mature and stay strong for her broken family this made her understand the error of her ways of not defending Aarti and Ansh against their saas and bua ji, also not making the effort to make friends with Aarti before instead of being a very self-centered child.

Paridhi told her about Vidhi bhabhi and the argument with Pankaj bhayia; she even contacted Vidhi so Aarti could speak to her. Vidhi cried and beg for forgiveness and Aarti being the kind soul forgive her, she even spoke to Pankaj bhayia on Vidhi behalf but Pankaj believed that Vidhi needed some more time away he wanted her to fully understand what life is for a woman with no family around to help no support from your friends just you alone in the world to fend for yourself and her father agreed with his point of view.

Hi all sorry for the mistakes 😊

Part E

The month slowly passed the kids started school kindergarten and they loved it; every day they would come home all excited and share all that they learnt with their proud family.

Aaman and his parents had extended their stay by a couple of week and now they communicated with the kids via skype daily.

Aarti was given a clean bill of health and Yash could not be happier he started going back to work full time and of course Aarti helped in any way that she could be it with the designs or with the accounting of the events. Aarya loved spending time together and during their breaks a quick romance of passionate kissing which left them gasping for fulfillment but with a beautiful promise for the night that is if their naughty kids don't demand to sleep with them.

G3 and Maya were doing charity work and staying at the ashram when Aarti stayed they heard many stories of abuse by in laws to their bahus for various reasons, abuse of women by their husbands, elder brothers, and fathers. There were also victims of rape.

G3 and Maya's heart broke by the different stories they heard ad saw the broken hurt women fight to regain their dignity; the innocent kids dirty playing about; there were classes available to teach the basics of reading and writing which some of the mothers taught, G3 and Maya helped with the cooking, and they did some sewing with the other ladies which they sold in the market to earn extra money.

The Scindhia ladies at first told no one about their brutal attack on Aarti and Ansh the bahu and grandson of their family but as time passed they felt the need to confess so they told the pundits of the ashram and begged for forgiveness from both the pundits and god, but they were told that forgiveness would have to be given from Aarti and acceptance from their family; that they must truly be remorseful for their actions and do penance from the heart not just to please man but to please god before they can find true inner peace and continue to live a good life with their family.

Aarti missed G3 and Maya she even asked SP to forgive them and bring them back home but Pankaj and Yash told her that G3 wants to stay away until she attains self-peace and Ansh will not be to traumatize by their presence.

Prateek and Paridhi were trying to have a baby but no luck thus far they thought it was due to stress from all that were taking place in their family why Paridhi could not conceive. They however babysat for AarYa one night per week so they could have a date night.

Yash always made plans for date night anything from dinner and dancing, to going to the movies or theaters. They would sometimes go for long romantic drives after diner or settle for a private dinner cooked by Aarti enjoyed in their room followed by a romantic movies then their own romance in bed.

Yash enjoyed slowly tormenting Aarti by removing her clothes and giving hot searing kisses to all her exposed parts then lifting a nude Aarti into their bed before slowly removing his clothes then when he joins her in bed continue his torture of slow drugging kisses while his hands explored her body caressing until she moan and beg for complete fulfillment but the devil in him will allow his mouth to give her divine pleasure in her most private sensitive places, then when he entered her with slow thrusts until she wrapped her legs around his waist digging her nails into his backs moving her hips demanding more from him and matching his rhythm to their own sexual song of their moving bodies.

The following day Aarti decided enough was enough she wanted Vidhi home it was two and a half months since she was away from her family and Pankaj bhayia did not seem interested in bring her home; so Aarti asked him if he no longer loves his wife. Yash scolded her saying that was too personal but Pankaj said no he will answer he told that they have lost the romance in their marriage and were slowly growing apart plus she had hurt him so badly with her behavior towards Aarti and Ansh. Pankaj agreed that she is a good mother and a good traditional bahu perfect for their family, but in trying to please their family and emulate mummyji she had lost her way; but if she has truly learnt her lesson he will take her back for their children.

The family was shocked by his disclosure and Yash asked if there was someone else in his life and Pankaj said yes but nothing physical as yet just meeting after work for drinks or dinner, he further shocked all by stating that the lady in question was also married but bored with her husband.

Yash asked Pankaj not to do anything that would bring shame and further suffering to the family; he further continued that Vidhi bhabhi made a mistake she used poor judgement in supporting her saas over wrong reasons but she is a good bahu to the family, an excellent mother, please give her another chance and who knows they may fall in love again in time.

Pankaj said he don't know about falling in love again but she will be here for their children and for the sake of the family's reputation; if anything happens between him and his lady friend he will surely keep it under wraps because the lady herself wants to keep it discreet.

SP listened to his son's confession and he understood his feelings since he too experienced the same with G3 they live together, the family and society accepts them as is but privately they are just two strangers who happen to be married for nearly forty years with sons and grandkids G3 performs her part and he does his and no one is any wiser about their true relationship.

Bauji why don't you say something asked Yash

Beta your bhayia is a grown man he has to live his life as he pleases but he needs to discuss this with Vidhi bahu, they have to come to an understanding and make their decision suitable for them and their kids. If your ma was here she would have a different opinion and demand that they stay together for society sake, and Pankaj would have to be extra discreet with his after work activities.

About a week later Pankaj met Vidhi and told her his about his changed feelings and his new lady she was heartbroken and tried committing suicide but some kids saw her trying to drown herself and call out and she was saved by a man out for a jog he took her to the hospital. The guy recognized her as his boss's daughter and informed him who informed the Scindhias.

After a couple of days Pankaj took her home but their relationship did not change he was momentary afraid for her while she was hospitalized but back at home life continues as before.

Aarti baby bump was showing and Yash loved rubbing her abdomen and talking to their baby; the kids too also followed their papa saying that their baby brother will get to know them and love them as much as they love him. Aarti would say and if the baby is a girl wont they love her just as much "of course we will mama" they chorus.

Aarti raging hormones were in full force and Yash was more than willing and able to satisfy his darling wife, the doctors told her pregnancy was progressing along nicely. They tried new ways to satisfy their needs as Aarti's belly grew the chair became a favorite with Aarti on top riding her Yashu to their peak of passsion, Sometimes it was comfortable for Aarti to be on all fours and Yash would carefully enter her from the back. Yash tried his best to be careful he tried controlling his urges, he made sure Aarti enjoyed herself and reached her peak, this was very difficult for him because he loved his hot wife so much and wanted so much to be with her and climax with her but his vigorous thrust caused by too much excitement sometimes caused pain when they were finished in her tender areas.

The washroom was a no zone for fear of an accidental fall only platonic showers much to their displeasure but the safety of Aarti and their baby came first. She was now seven months pregnant her friendship and bond with Paridhi and Vidhi were growing; Aarti encouraged them to enjoy life outside of the house and family, with SP permission Paridhi had a twice weekly radio program, Vidhi accompanied Aarti shopping and to charitable events for the orphanage and other NGOS which Aarti helped with the organization.

Pankaj and Vidhi were on speaking terms, they had decided on separate rooms but when their kids returned from boarding school they maintained the appearance of a happy couple in front of them and slept in the same room Pankaj never shared about his lady friend and no one asked. Vidhi did a makeover with Paridhi's help and she was learning to love herself and enjoy life she began reading again, and did some computer courses, all were happy with the slowy emerging new confident Vidhi even Pankaj begun to take notice.

The kids were much improved Ansh's nightmares were decreasing and he started asking when daadi ji and bua daadi ji would be coming home that he misses them.

Aarti was now a week away from delivery and she wanted G3 around for she was the closest to a mother she had; so she pleaded G3 and Maya's case before SP every day until he agreed because he loved his Aarti bahu like a daughter. They family organized a baby shower for Aarti and she wanted G3 and Maya present.

Yash and Prateek went to the ashram and spoke to G3 and Maya to return home that Aarti needed and wanted her there even the kids were asking for them. Maya was happy to return home she had enough of this life and if she had to be nice to Aarti then so be it after all she is the mother of her favorite nephew Yashu kids his son his Ansh and with a little luck another boy.

G3 was hesitant but the boys looked and sounded so honest plus Yash called Aarti and she too cried and asked G3 to return before the birth of the baby.

SP was not all that happy to have the ladies home but he did warn them to behave otherwise next time no amount of pleading from the kids will make him allow them to return into the house.

The ceremony went well Aaman and his parents were there, Vidhi parents even the Dubeys came from Delhi.

The following day Aarti had labor pains and hours later she gives birth to a perfect healthy baby boy. The family was over joyed Yash has another son and the teasing started if they will go for baby boy number three.

Hi all sorry for the mistakes i did this in a hurry

Part F

The naming ceremony was a grand celebration because Aayu was here and Ansh did not have a naming ceremony done by the Scindhias so they wanted to make up for that with Aayu.

Aarti did not want this she just wanted a small ceremony with the family and the pundit but SP said that it was a time for celebration.

The house was well decorated and all the relatives were invited along with close friends. Aarti and Yash came into the hall with their Ansh and Aayu the twins were in the arms of Aaman laughing away with him and chatting with his parents.

After the pooja everyone lined up to give their blessings to the baby and present their gift Aarya stood close to his cot admiring their little one who was very quiet throughout the event. Ansh stood holding his papa's hand and observing everyone who came close to the cot.

Dinner was served and then there were the entertainment traditional songs and dances by a local group where everyone joined in; followed by an open dance floor Yash made sure he danced every romantic slow song with his beloved wife.

Maya was patiently waiting her turn to hold the baby in her lap she loved her nephews very much Ansh was still a bit apprehensive of her but he stood close enough to her observing how she held his baby brother and spoke with him "Ansh beta come here sit by me" she invited little Ansh cautiously came closer and sat but he never allowed himself to be distracted from his baby brother lying comfortably I their bua daadi ji lap.

G3 came and took a surprised Ansh onto her lap and begun talking to him, Aarti noticed and gestured to Yash who immediately came over he still did not trust his ma or bua ji with his sons; but Paradhi and Prateek came to their rescue and said that they will stay with the kids and AarYa should continue to enjoy. G3 and Maya understood the protective instinct of the boys they still did not fully trust them around the boys, and their new attitude to the twins did not help; it was very difficult for them to accept that Aripta and her parents were frauds, and that the twins are not biologically related to them, also they could not fight their nature of fully accepting children not of their blood, although they were trying but acceptance was very difficult.

Vidhi was the perfect hostess mingling with all while Aarti tried but she was becoming tired easily plus she had to keep her eye on her kids, and her Yashu wanted to keep her close to him, although Aaman and his parents helped with the girls she did not want to leave them with all their responsibility.

Pankaj had brought in alcohol to have with his brothers and male guest in the garden while the ladies enjoyed inside. No one suspected that his lady friend were there among the guest she mingled well with all present and her husband remained clueless to her friendship with Pankaj; the man had drinks with Pankaj and spoke about their youthful days as friends, while the lady was very friendly with Vidhi asking her about her family life, her kids. A clueless Vidhi answered all honestly because she knew the lady and considered her a friend. The lady told Vidhi to try and have a life outside of her family her saas and soap serials, that by expanding her horizon she would have so much more to discuss and share with her husband instead of just family matters, she even went on saying that she is bored with her husband because they have no interest in common, and the magic of being a young in love married couple went away; but she is fortunate that she has her job and her own very interesting friends. That helps to keep her going in her marriage and with life with her in laws, plus now that her kids are entering their teens they don't need her that much again she had taken up additional hobbies.

As the weeks passed Vidhi became more confident and asked if she could assist them with office work SP said okay he needed a personal assistance she can have that job part time since he to only worked part time pre-retirement he wanted to give the business over to his sons, whom had the youth and stamina for expansion.

At first Pankaj was proud of Vidhi trying to broaden her interest but she had a difficult time with the changes SP loved to go out of town for his meetings with new clients and business partners and Vidhi accompanied him; but if SP was a strict father as an employer he was worst he demanded excellence and she had to be professional at all times with her choice of clothing and her mannerism. Vidhi was learning all about this side of her FIL the businessman who demanded the best performance from his employees and especially from his sons; he had a reputation to maintain and high profile clients to satisfy. As time passed Pankaj begun to become angry because he believed that Vidhi was neglecting her duties as a good traditional bahu, he was becoming jealous by all the attention and praises she received from their clients especially the men.

Aarti continued working with Yash part time and she spent her time at home with the baby also getting to know G3 and Maya who continued to work with the NGO, when they weren't spoiling baby Aayu or playing with Ansh. The twins felt left out but Aarti made up for that by playing with them or keeping them with her in the kitchen chatting when she helped Vidhi and doing drawings with them.

Aarti went for her physical and the doctor give the okay to resume her sexual marital life Yash was overly excited but Aarti wanted to wait a couple of days complaining of fatigue she wanted to sleep and she believed that her body needed more time to recover.

Yash was disappointed but he loved his wife and if she needed time then so be it. What he did not know was that his minx of a wife had special plans for them she had arranged with Paridhi and Vidhi to look after the kids for a night, expressing and bottling her milk for Aayu.

That night Aarti invited Yash out for dinner at a posh hotel followed by dancing then she told him that they were going on a long drive because it had been a while since they were alone. Yash complied to all his wife's demands because he was enjoying their night out, then Aarti made him drive back home all were sleeping when they arrived home and they quietly made it back to their room Yash noticed the glowing lights from under the door when he opened it there were scented candles lit all over the room, and the bed was decorated with rose petals, Aarti back hugged Yash and asked him if he liked it.

Yash said he did but he thought she was tired and needed more time to heal. Aarti pouted that was not what she hoped for Yash saw the disappointment in her expression and lifted her up into his arms spun her around smiling at her expression of surprise and said I knew you were up to something when you invited me out for a date after clearly stating that you feel tired and needed more time to recover.

How can you say that I am innocent I just wanted to spend some time alone with my hot hubby; if my sisters in law have an over active imagination with romance on their minds how am I to be blamed if they decided to decorate our room and texted me a picture during dinner.

Is that so well I will just go and tell them how much I love them okay andhe gently placed her on the bed and headed for the door. Yashu all right you win it was my idea so do you really like?

I Love it my darling and I love you bending down to claim her lips for the start of a passionate night.

Aarti woke up during the night and admired her darling hubby he looked so young and innocent in his sleep with a cute smile plastered on his lips, his closed eyes were moving in REM like he was having a good dream. Aarti could not resist and she moved towards him and kissed his eyes and then his lips which he responded in his sleep in a gentle kiss full of love, his hands automatically pulling her closer to him, Aarti felt his hard manhood against her body and giggled even in his sleep he is ready.

Aarti carefully removed herself from his hold and quickly made her way to knock on Paridhi door to get her Aayu who had woken up and was fussing for his mom he wanted to be breast fed not from any old bottle and was about to start bawling when he sensed his ma presence in the room. Aarti quickly left with him in her arms and begun feeding her little man.

Yash having sensed the absence of his wife woke up and went in search of her finding her sitting near the pool looking out through the window at the clear night sky light up by a full moon she was feeding Aayu and talking to him about his papa. Yash stoos admiring his beautiful family and thank god for reuniting him with his precious wife and kids.

Both Aarti and Aayu senses his presence the baby momentary stopped feeding and cooed for his papa then latched on again Yash came and sat beside Aarti holding her in his arms and the baby reached his tiny hands to his papa they both smiled and admired their little prince.

"Yashu he is starting to look more like you as he is growing"

"Another handsome man in our family"

"You just love yourself now aren't you?'

"Of course and my beautiful family, my gorgeous wife give me two handsome sons and may be with a little luck a beautiful princess like her in the future."

"Yash we have two princesses already and you want another"

"True but we are not their biological parents they look like Aaman and Aripta I want a princess that looks like you sweetheart" and he kissed her "Our very own daughter with your beautiful features and talent for art. I am sorry honey but as much as I am starting to love the twins I know they are not ours and one day Aaman would want his daughters with him."

"Yashu I know that one day we will have to give them to him but only if they agree and only if his wife is a kind loving woman who accepts them from her heart"

"Well in that case they are never leaving us until they are adults" said Yash

Aarya took their sleeping prince and placed him in his cot and they snuggled in bed kissing and talking until they fell asleep.

The following morning their three naughty kids woke them up complaining that they were neglected by them last night and demanded to spend the entire day with them.

Yash was not a happy man he wanted to spend the day enjoying with his wife because he too was feeling neglected by his wife now his kids disturbed his plans instead of a nice romantic move the kind Aarti liked they would have to see a kids friendly show, instead of a romantic day in the park with the two of them having a romantic picnic now one with noisy kids demanding for them to play games with them. The kids demanding her attention during the day and Aayu at night.When will he have his time Yash wanted Aayu to magically grow so he would need Aarti less and Paridhi or ma could take care of him so they could start working on baby number three.
