Roshini's PoV

"Mr.Reyhaan, would you stop behaving like a kid?" I asked looking at my lazy husband.

He pouted while playing with the pillow on the bed.

Oh god. This man won't obey me anymore!

"Reyhaan, listen to me. It would take only half a day. Why don't you try to understand?"

"Why don't you try to understand me Roshini? You are not getting my point. I can't go leaving you alone."he asked throwing the pillow away, irritated and angry.

"You think that I am alone here? What about all those people you appointed around me?" I rolled my eyes at him. Ofcourse he would never listen to me. "Reyhaan, please listen. This is an important conference and you are supposed to be there. Don't make excuses in the name of our baby. I don't want you leaving important jobs in the name of taking care of me." I caressed my 6 months old baby bump.

I thank my stars everyday for having this man in my life. He never left me alone after receiving the news of my pregnancy. Except some important meetings that he can't leave. He works from home and takes care of me. From Vijay I got to know about this important meeting which he have to attend anyway. All the top companies in the state would send their representatives to attend this one and he also got an invitation which is very precious. But he shocked me by not willing to go.

"Roshini, you don't know how these meetings work. All the company heads will come and start praising their firm in their big speech. It would be boring and waste of my time, not productive at all. I don't want to go." He said coming closer to me.

"I am done with you. Do whatever you wants. Who am I to give advices to you?" I got angry and left to the backyard garden.

Pregnancy is giving me a tough time and I guess I am becoming too much annoying with Reyhaan. As a nice husband he tolerates all of my tantrums. Only he can handle all my mood swings. I feel blessed to have him in my life. And now I have his little part also with me.

I placed my hand on my belly with a smile.

I started smelling the roses. I have built this garden and it's such a relief for me. Especially when Reyhaan is busy with his work. I spent time watering the plants, taking care of them and talking with them. He filled this with many imported plants.

"Reyhaan.." I called feeling his hands around my baby bump. I turned to face him and my face brightened seeing him in his formals.

"So have you changed your decision?" I asked with a glint of amusement in my voice.

"You have changed all my plans."he winked at me.

He knelt down and kissed my belly affectionately.

"Baby, I would be back soon. Take care of your annoying mamma till that." He said and I giggled.

He then stood up and kissed my forehead.

"Eat properly. Don't let my baby stay hungry. Take care of yourself." He held my hand and we walked towards the courtyard together. He entered into the car while I waited for him to leave. He waved at me and sent me a flying kiss. I smiled blushing. I stayed there until he vanish from my sight.

Reyhaan's PoV

It has been one hour the conference has started. Everyone started talking about their company while I played with a pen least interested in what happening around me. I really felt bored. If they haven't orgnaized this, I could have spent time with my pregnant wife. But no. They had to spoil my moments. My all thoughts were about her.

Would she have eaten her lunch?

What might be she doing now?

If this self praising session has ended, I could have made a phone call to her.

"Next Mr.Reyhaan Suryavanshi will talk to you regarding his upcoming projects and the business experience he has attained at this young age."

Someone from the coordinator side announced and I stood up with a smile.

"Hai everyone..." I started by greeting them and talked about my recent projects in minimum words trying my best to not bore anyone of them. I winded up exactly after 5 minutes. Eveyone clapped and I sat down smilingly.

"Next Mrs. Srividya Suryavanshi will be talking to you..."

I heard the announcement and was shocked.

"Mom..."

I looked up to see my mother standing with a smile while sending me glares through the corner of her eyes. My heart started beating fast.

Why didn't I notice her presence all this time?

She was there sitting three seats away from me and I didnt see her. She has already saw me and didn't bother to call me, didn't talk with me.

I became a stranger for her?

She started talking and I tried to control my tears.

It has been a while I heard her talking. Her sweet voice. I started observing her and I must say she is looking very weak and lost a lot of weight. It's been many months I saw her and I suddenly started feeling guilty.

It's not like I haven't tried. But she always avoided me. She failed all my ways to reach her.

Roshini is right. It's very painful when your parents treat you as a stranger.

I continued to stare at mom while she was talking. Her ego doesn't allow her to accept that she still loves me. I know she can't hate me anyway.

Her speech has ended with a huge round of applause. I clapped with heavy heart and teary smile. I am always proud of her. She thanked everyone and sat down while turning her face away from me angrily.

I started waiting for the conference to end so that I can talk with her. All these time my eyes are fixed on her. She looked at me a few times and I tried to smile. But she immediately averted her gaze.

It has been 3 pm finally the meeting ended and I felt relieved. All of them were bidding good bye to each other, but my eyes searching for only one person. But she was nowhere found. How did I miss her?

It was then I got her glimpse through the upstairs window. What! She is leaving. I rushed to the car parking without wasting one more second. She was about to enter into her car. But I reached her by that time.

"Mom.." I called while breathing heavily.

She looked at me sternly which didn't convey any emotions except anger and disgust.

"Are you going without talking to me?" I asked helplessly.

"What am I supposed to you Mr.Reyhaan?" She asked and that was a shock to me.

Mr.Reyhaan... Would I hear Reyhu from her mouth again?

What should I do to get her back?

This is really hurting me.

How did I turn into a complete stranger for my own mother? Didn't I born from her womb?

Why she is punishing me like this?

Only because I married the girl whom I loved.

"Sorry, I am little busy." She again turned back to go. But I moved to her front blocking her.

"I know you hate me. It is ok mom. But would you care to explain the reason?" I asked looking straight into her eyes.

"You don't know?" She asked angrily.

"I don't understand you mom. You taught me to love everyone. Isn't that you? You taught me to be kind towards suffering people. You taught me all the ethics and values of life. You asked me to be selfless. Right? All the qualities in my life are because of you. And then the same person treating me like a stranger because I showed empathy to a poor soul."

"I didn't ask you to ruin your life for sympathy. You can help people without getting involved with them."she retorted.

"I married Roshini not because of sympathy mom. Because I love her with all my heart. I am a man and I can't cheat her after promising her that I am hers." I declared. "You asked me to marry her once for your daughter. Do you remember? That time you cared only for your daughter and not your son? And now I married her for myself, for having a family with her. What's the big deal now?" I asked unable to read her expressions.

She have red shot eyes indicating how much angry she is. Whatever it is I don't care. Today I need answers.

"You chose your life. I don't think I am bound to answer a stranger." She said.

"Not just a stranger. For you I am a dead body now. I know that. You already declared your son's death." I hit my hand on the car.

"Reyhaan, watch your words." She shouted.

Oh did that hurt her? But why?

"Why do you care mom? I am a stranger, right? Kill me and then you live your life." I said equally annoying.

"You are my blood. But I would accept you back only if you leave her. I don't need her between us." She said that finally.

I couldn't believe her words. Did she really say that? I was surprised.

"Do you have an idea what you are asking me for? For god sake, she is not a random girl. She is my wife, mom." I turned my face away disgustingly. "You are asking your son to leave his wife."

That was the least I wanted my mom to stoop down.

"It is me who brought you up. It is me who sacrificed a lot for you. I had endured a lot to raise three children in absence of your father. I worked hard not for me, but for your future. Can't I demand the least from you? To marry a girl of my choice." She said and I gave her an unbelievable look.

"There won't be any relation between us as long as that girl is with you. That's cent percent sure."

I felt pity for myself. I didn't want to hear this from my mother.

"Mom, you want me to leave my wife? I may leave her. But what about my baby in her womb?" I said losing all my strength.

She looked at me shocked.

"She is not just my wife now. The woman who carries my blood within her. You want me to leave my child too?"

"Reyhaan..." she called confusingly.

"You were always my role model. I felt proud in everything you did for us. But today I felt ashamed to be your son. Today you proved to me that you are a mistake and broke my illusion about you." I said and her eyes started tearing up. "Why did you brought me up after my dad's death? Why didn't you kill me?" I shouted.

"Reyhaan, stop this." She yelled.

"I am not stopping today because you should hear this. And I am not coming to you hereafter. Even if you wishes for."I closed my eyes feeling my heart aches.

She turned her face to the other side.

"I was always proud of my mother for all the reasons you mentioned. Without anyone's help you raised us. You suffered for us. In my father's absence. And you want my Roshini to suffer the same with my baby? You want my wife to endure whatever you went through?" I asked and she didn't answer.

"If that is what you want, hear this carefully. I won't leave her hand till I am alive. You may be ashamed to have her as your daughter in law. But I am proud of her being my wife. You won't ever understand her. You know what. She is the one who always prays for our reunion. It is her who insists me everyday to call you. Nobody wishes us together as much as she wants. She would be willing to leave me if that gives me my mother back. But I won't let her do that."

Seeing her still not responding I sighed.

"I am going mom. Don't feel bad for me. I would be always happy with my wife and baby. Don't curse us. It is not her who chose me, it is me who chose and fall in love with her. And I won't regret ever." I stated and walked away.

But then I stopped remembering something. I came back and stood infront of her again. She gave me confused look. I took something from my pocket which I always carried with me. It is the same letter once Roshini wrote.

"If you ever willing to leave your ego for a moment, read this." I placed the letter forcely into her palm and walked away.

I didn't turn back for once. My heart was bleeding and brain stopped working.

My worst fear came true for me.

I lost my mother.

*****
Roshini's PoV

I looked at the clock to realize its 11 pm already. Reyhaan didn't return back till now. Unknowingly a worry occupied me. He said that the conference would last only for few hours and he would be back by evening. And then where is he? He haven't called me also. I tried to call him many times. Initially there was ring, but then it has been switched off. I called Vijay inorder to get some information. But he also don't know about Reyhaan's whereabouts.

I am getting scared.

Reyhaan, where are you?

This is so unlike of you.

If I know this comes, I wouldn't have send you at the first place.

I only want to know that you are safe.

I was walking on the courtyard expecting him to be back soon. A shawl covering my upperbody to save me from cold. I was worried for him. This is the first time he is doing this to me. All the maids tried their best to get me inside and have my dinner. But I didn't eat. I can't have anything until I see him back.

What happened to my husband?

I became restless. Many thoughts travelled through my mind and I felt nervous. Tears were flowing down my cheeks.

Reyhaan, please come fast. I have noone if it's not you.

I finally sat on the tiled floor losing all my strength.

Sending me relief, I heard the horn of his car.

Reyhaan, you are back?

I smiled with happiness and stood up from the floor. His car parked infront of me and he came outside sending me blank expressions. Before he moves an inch, I hugged him crying.

"Reyhaan, where were you? You have no idea how much I worried for you. Why did you do this? And where is your phone?"I asked in a single breathe.

"Why are you here outside? Can't you see it's cold here?"he said angrily.

"I don't care. You promise me that you will never do this again. If you had taken some more time to come back, I would have died here." I cupped his cheeks.

He closed his eyes and a tear drop fell down on my palm. I wiped his face.

What is happening to him?

"What happened Reyhaan?" I asked for which he opened his eyes widely.

"It's nothing."he said plainly.

"You are lying." I declared.

He didn't say anything but held my hand tightly and dragged me inside the house. He locked the door and removed the shawl from my body.

"Did you eat?"he asked with no emotions.

I shook my head as no and suddenly his face changed.

"What are you doing Roshini? How many times should I tell you?" He shouted and I didnt see him this much angry anytime before. "Are you planning to kill my child too?"

I was shocked.

"You dont care about my child? As if the baby is only mine."he continued yelling.

I couldn't control my tears and my body felt very weak.

"Listen, this baby is the only blood relationship currently I have. You want to destroy that too?"he has red shot eyes and I started scaring.

"Reyhaan, ...why are you talking like this? I ...was worried ...about you. I couldn't ...eat. I was waiting for you." I tried to speak. But he showed his hand to stop.

"Cut the crap Roshini. Don't be childish. I can't be always with you to pamper you. It was my mistake that I cared so much for you."

Did he really say that?

I stood like a statue.

"I have left my entire family for you. Only you. And you doesn't care to protect the only family that I have now? My child growing inside you. Can't you protect my baby atleast? If anything happens to my kid because of your careless nature, you won't see me again. Remember this."

He walked away climbing the stairs to our room.

I lost all my senses.

What did I do to deserve all this?

I couldn't believe any of the words he said to me. This is not my Reyhaan.

I took slow steps towards our room. I saw him changing his dress, still in that serious expression.

"Reyhaan, I am sorry. I wouldn't repeat what happened today. I swear." I pleaded. But he didn't look at me making me more afraid.
"Please don't stop talking to me. I can't bear your anger."

He fall down on the bed resting his head on his elbows. I moved towards him and took a seat beside him. The next second he jumped up from the bed angrily.

"Can't you leave me alone for sometime? I beg you. Please don't disturb me like this. Please understand that I am also an humanbeing and I too have emotions. Please go."he shouted making me lose all the courage I had.

I didn't stay there for one more second. I ran towards the balcony and sat down there crying. I hoped he would come to console. But he didnt.

Why did he change like this? What made him like this? Have I done something that hurted him? How would I know if he doesnt tell me?

I cried hugging my knees.

I can't live without him.

If he hates me, then what would I do?

I have no life beyond him.

The thought of returning to my past haunted me. It scares me.

Why all this happening with us Reyhaan?

You knows me more than anyone. But now you treats me the same all the people have done to me.

If it's not you, I am alone.

I placed my hands on my baby bump.

No, I am not alone. I have my baby with me. I would endure anything for my baby.

"Baby, don't be sad. Your pappa loves you a lot. Its just that he is angry for some reasons. Don't hate him. Ok?" I spoke while crying.

I spent many hours at the balcony hoping that he would come. But nothing like that happened. It is already midnight and my body started shivering under the cold breeze. I stood up slowly and started walking towards our room reluctantly.

What if he is still angry?

He asked me to leave him alone for sometime.

Will he shout at me again when he sees me?

What if he leaves the house in anger?

What would I do then?

No I won't let him go.

The door was kept opened and I entered taking baby steps. Then I saw him sleeping on the bed. I closed the door and went to the bed. I looked at him with tears. I laid down beside him. Even if he wakes up and again shouts at me, I won't let him go through this alone. I pulled the blanket over us. I can't sleep today. Instead I decided to stare at him for the whole night. He appeared very weak and his face seems like he has cried a lot. I kissed his forehead gently.

"No matter you loves me or hates me, I would always love you Reyhaan. You are the only family for me. I don't know what have I done for you to hate me, I am sorry Reyhaan."

I snuggled close to him while resting my head on his heart. He stirred in sleep. I took his hand and placed it on my stomach.

"I won't let you loose your blood. The only family you have now. I would protect our baby and us. I promise Reyhaan."

I kissed his chest. He stirred again while wrapping his arms around my waist.

"Our baby loves you so much."

I closed my eyes trying to absorb all his warmth. Slowly sleep embraced me.

Reyhaan's PoV: At Morning

With great difficulty I opened my eyes. It was an eventful day yesterday and I don't have an idea regarding how to sort out many things I did out of anger and frustration. I felt a weight over my chest and my lips curved into a smile seeing Roshini sleeping on me.

Did she sleep cuddling me yesterday?

Isn't she angry at me?

I tried to move her away so that she can sleep in a comfortable way. But she has caged me in every possible way. I saw my hand around her waist. I couldn't stop smiling. I felt my baby.

How I wish you were in my arms now.

I saw the tear marks in her face and her eyes appeared swollen. I felt to kill myself for letting her cry the whole night.

I was a beast yesterday and hurted my pregnant wife in the worst possible way. I kissed her forehead and tears brimmed my eyes. Feeling my lips, she opened her eyes.

"Reyhaan.." she called in a low tone and I instantly hugged her tightly. She tried to pull away but I failed her every attempt.

There is nothing that can send me peace except this warmth.

"Rey...haan...I...I am..sorry.." she said with broken words while crying.

I was confused.

I pulled back to see her face.

Oh god. I hurted her very badly. I won't forgive myself for this.

"Why are you sorry?" I asked.

"Honestly I don't know. I must have done something that hurted you." She replied.

I closed my eyes with guilt.

"It's not you Roshini. You haven't done anything wrong. You can never hurt me."

She looked at me amused. I felt someone piercing a knife into my chest.

"It was me who wronged you. I lost my senses yesterday. I behaved cruel out of anger. But you are not the reason for any mishaps in my life. Please don't blame yourself." I rested my head on her shoulders.

"I shouldn't have hurted you." I accepted.

"Would you care to explain what happened yesterday?" She asked pleading.

I cupped her face.

"It's not a big deal Roshini. Leave that." I wanted to just don't discuss about that again.

She held my hand making me face her.

"I guess I hurted my baby too badly. I want to compensate for this." I lifted her into my arms.

"Why are you hiding?"she asked clutching my shirt.

"I am not. Please leave that." I replied.

"Reyhaan, leave me."she shouted.

I made her stand on the floor.

"You have no idea how much I worried because of you. Your baby knows how much I cried. I thought I lost you. That you wouldn't be back to me. That you hates me." She said and I covered her mouth with my palm.

"Whatever happens to me, I would never hate you. Please don't think that way." I requested.

"You did so much damage yesterday Reyhaan. First you made me worry by coming late, not informing me. Then you shouted at me. That detroyed my entire existence. And now you are saying that its nothing."she said sternly.

"I am sorry wifey. It happened. I promise it would never happen again. Please forgive me. I wouldn't hurt you both again."I promised while holding her hand.

"You are my life Reyhaan. I would never complain if you scold me. I can suffer anything for you. You know everything. All the people I have met have scolded me for reasons that I don't know. But they hates me. So its obvious. But what about you? You are the only one who loved me and don't I need to know the reason why you are angry at me?" She hugged me.

Roshini, what have I done to get you in my life?

"Roshini, please understand. You are not the reason. It's because I saw her yesterday. My mom." I finally said that.

Her face suddenly brightened.
"Seriously? And what did she tell? Did you tell about our baby? How did she react?" She asked everything together.

I can see how excited she is. But my mother is not what you thinks Roshini.

"Roshini, don't talk about her hereafter. She don't want us." I said and her face changed. "I don't want anyone who hates my wife"

She became sad and her smile vanished. I cupped her face looking straight into her eyes.

"See, we have our baby now. Our family. We can forget everything and live for our baby's happiness. Don't think about anything else that would cost your health." I tried my best to calm down her.

"I am the reason why you lost your mother." She spoke making me sigh.

I know this is coming. The reason why I hid this from her.

"I shouldn't have come between you both. I know how much you loves your mother. But then.."

I stopped her.

"Not a word anymore. I dont want to hear anything more from you Roshini. I won't let anyone separates us. And don't even think that you made me lose anything precious. I am fighting for you, for our baby, for us. I want you to stand with me in this." I said firmly.
"And if you continues this, my baby and me won't forgive you."

"Reyhaan, I would be there for you always. But please don't do this again."

"I won't. But stop stressing. Even when I told about your pregnancy, my mom didn't change her mind. She doesn't care for us. That's the truth. For me, you and my child matters most. I hate everyone who hates you and our baby. Let's live our life for us. Not for other's happiness."

She smiled while I kissed her hand.

*****
Reyhaan's PoV

It's been one week after that incident. I intentionally forgot whatever mom told me inorder to not stress Roshini. She tried her best to smile eventhough she is not completely recovered from the trauma I caused. I mentally made a note to not involve any third person in our life who may cause problems between us. It is me and her, and our baby.

On a Sunday evening, we were sitting at the backyard garden enjoying some fresh air. I took a sip of my special coffee looking at my wife admiringly. She was cutting her long nails.

"Why are you cutting that? It was very beautiful." I remarked.

"It is for our baby. I don't want to hurt my kid with my nails." She said proudly.

"As if you are gonna give birth tomorrow. 4 more months are there." I reminded her.

"That doesn't matter. I started all my preparations to welcome my baby."

"Would you forget your husband after the baby comes out?" I asked waiting for a reaction.

"What a question that was?" She looked at me wondered. "That is not even a question, I don't allow anyone between my baby and me. Even if it's you." She laughed naughtily.

"Ouch...That hurted." I placed my hand on my heart and faked hurt.

She giggled.

I love this Roshini. She should be happy, naughty and careless around me.

She completed shaping her nails and then looked at my hands.

"Reyhaan, come on. I would help you to remove your long nails."

I choked hearing her.
"I don't have long nails."

"Who told you? See yourself." She pointed towards my fingers.

"No, I won't let anyone else to cut my nails. I am afraid that it may hurt me."

"Reyhaan, you are not a kid."she was wondered.

"I would do that myself." I said seeing her coming with that nail cutter.

"Let me see what would happen if I do that for my husband." She leaned towards me and I got scared.

"Roshini..." I tried to move away from her.

For my relief the calling bell rang marking someone's arrival. I sighed.

"Finally someone is here to rescue me." I said happily.

"Noway husband. Remember you will return back to me after the guest leaves." She reminded while smirking.

"I am all yours wifey. Now please take rest. Let me see who is that." I instructed her to sit down and walked towards the entrance.

I opened the door only to freeze completely. I couldn't believe the people standing infront of me.

Is this a dream?

"Mom" it took me my entire courage to even acknowledge her presence.

Is she here to curse us again?

Before I could decipher, she welcomed me with a warm hug. It was unexpected and all the tensions and hatred we were carrying in our hearts were melted in that embrace. Finally I could see my old mother back. The one who only knows to love me. I felt her tears on my shoulder and I pulled back.

"Mom, you are crying. But for what?" I asked. "See, you are here to make me weak. By crying infront of me. My strong mother can't do this." I tried to cheer her up.

"Dayamaa, what are you looking for? Ask your sister to stop crying." I said looking at the direction where Dayamaa is standing watching both of us. She returned me a smile that reached my heart.

"Reyhu..." mom called me and I closed my eyes feeling her.

I didn't hope that I could hear this again. I felt happiness that cannot be expressed with words.

"Reyhu, I am sorry. Would you forgive your mom?"she asked with moist eyes.

I can't handle this. I wiped her tears and hugged her again.

"You haven't done anything wrong. Its me who hurted you. Anyway you came to see me. That's enough for me. I still love you mom." I said while my eyes flowing down.

"I am sorry Reyhu." She kissed my forehead affectionately.

"And you did forget your Dayamaa?" Dayamaa asked with a naughty smirk.

I laughed and moved close towards her.
"How can I forget my beaty queen?" I hugged her and she kissed my forehead.

I missed all this.

"Reyhu, where is my daughter?" Mom asked confusing me.

I looked at Dayamaa and she smiled.
"She is asking for Roshini."

I couldn't believe my own ears.

"Mom..that she is..." I stuttered couldn't complete the sentence.

"Reyhu, I have done a mistake. A very huge mistake. I couldn't understand why did you choose her. I didn't even try. I couldn't realize her value. It took me a long time for finally realizing my blunder." She was crying and it hurted me badly. "Now I understood I can never find a girl better than Roshini for my son. Even if I search the entire universe there won't be someone better than her who can love you selflessly. She is the best for you and our family."

All her words made my heart flutter. Finally my mother realized my wife's worth.

"I am aware now why did you fight for her. Why did you not let her go. I am proud of you for standing up for her." She smiled happily.

"Mom, please tell me that this is not a dream." I was so surprised.

She held my hand and placed something into my hand. It was the same letter I handed over to her the last week.

"Keep this with you. Don't miss this and the person who wrote this." She whispered into my ears.

I smiled wholeheartedly while placing it back on my pocket.

"Reyhaan..where are you?" I heard Roshini calling me and next second I saw her getting freeze on her track. She widened her eyes seeing mom and Dayamaa. I couldn't stop smiling.

I know she must be wondering whether we are fighting again. I can see her getting frightened.

No, Roshini. Our family is no more at loggerheads. It is all over. Your prayers has been answered.

*****
Roshini's PoV

I fed up waiting for him and that's why I decided to go in search of him.

Who might have came?

"Reyhaan.. where are you?" My mouth went dry and I froze on the place seeing the people there.

Isn't it them?

I saw Reyhaan smiling at me

But why?

Before I could think about any possibility, Dayamaa came to me and embraced me. She seems very happy.

"Congratulations for this little one." She placed her hand on my baby bump. I felt happy.

"You didn't congratulate me." Reyhaan pouted like a kid.

"As if you are the pregnant one." She said and I laughed.

I stole glances at the person standing beside him with her eyes fixed on my stomach. I felt uneasy.

A few moments of silence and his mother started walking towards me. My heart started beating fastly. I looked at Reyhaan and he gestured me to be calm.

"Would you give me another chance Roshini? For being your mother?" His mom's words made me widen my eyes.

"Please forgive me one last time."
I saw her teary eyes. Her face reflecting guilt. I felt helpless. I cried with her.

"Aunty..." I called.

"It's mom for you. Please call me what your husband calls me." She said making me wonder.

I looked at Reyhaan with disbelief. He smiled with tears. I could see him completely relieved after many months. He assured me with his eyes. Eventhough he don't speak about his mother often inorder to not stress me, but I know inside he was missing her badly. His mom affects him very much.

And today is that happening? What I was waiting for all these months.

I smiled wholeheartedly. Within the next moment I have been embraced by her affectionately. She caressed my hairs and kissed my head. And didn't forget to bless my child and placed a kiss on my baby bump.

Is this we call happy family?

I don't know.

"You always craved for a mother's love. Isn't it? Hereafter you have two mothers. We are adopting you as our daughter." She said smilingly.

I tried to bent down to touch her feet and take her blessings. All three of them hurriedly came to stop me.

"What are you doing Roshini?" Reyhaan asked.

"You don't do this. It's not good for the baby." Dayamaa said touching my cheeks.

"You should be always careful Roshini. Think about my grandchild before doing anything." His mother instructed. "I don't think I am eligible to bless you both. You guys taught me the lesson to love."

She gestured Reyhaan to come forward. He came to us and his mom hugged both of us together.

"Mom.." I called in a low tone and she looked at me surprised.

"That's it. That's how you call your mother." She kissed me again and Dayamma hugged Reyhaan with happiness.

"Reyhaan, I don't want you to live here anymore. Pack your bags. I am taking you both with me. To our home."

We both looked at each other.

"I want my grandchild to grow up in the same place where his or her father has been grown up." She said with moistened eyes.

"Yes Reyhaan. Moreover Roshini needs good care now. You should return back." Dayamaa said. "Roshini, don't stress about anything. It is your home. We would take care of everything there." She faced me.

"But mom? Dayamaa? I have works."he said doubtful.

"Who told you to stop working? I don't care. I am taking a leave from everything for the next four months. Both my daughter and her child need me now. You take care of our business too. I am not looking into anything." His mom said while placing her hand through my shoulders.

I chuckled.

"But..." Reyhaan gave a confusing look.

"Stop it Reyhu. You are a father now. Works second. Baby first. That's the rule." Dayamaa said twisting his ear. He screamed.

"Daya, there is no use you tells this to him. You go and help them pack. Reyhu, show her your room." His mom said making me sit on the sofa.

She sat beside me. "Let me have a chat with my daughter until you guys are ready to leave."
