Thanks for reading and your comments.

*************************
If you have read my previous chapter...recently I am watching korean drama..and I heard "Open Arms" song by EXO... and fell in love with it.

Whenever I hear a song it reminds me of Rayna and Aaryan.

Is it just me or writers mostly experience this?

So I wanted to share a song and lyrics with you because when I hear this song I imagine Aaryan singing this for Rayna and I just wanted to share it.

P.s.The underlined lines are the lines I felt Aaryan singing to Rayna.

Lying beside you, here in the dark
Feeling your heartbeat with mine.

Softly you whisper, you're so sincere
How could our love be so blind

We sailed on together
We drifted apart
And here you are, by my side.

So now I come to you with open arms
Nothing to hide, believe what I say.

So here I am, with open arms
Hoping you'll see what your love means to me.

Living without you, living alone
This empty house seems so cold.

Wanting to hold you
Wanting you near
How much I wanted you home.

Now that you've come back
Turned night into day
I need you to stay.

So now I come to you with open arms
Nothing to hide, believe what I say
So here I am, with open arms
Hoping you'll see what your love means to me.

(Almost underlined the whole song😀)

(I have attached the video of the song below if you want to check)

If you all know can you all please suggest me some korean romantic songs like "open arms"?Pleaseee....

Rayna's POV

"I will go from hospital to my house directly."I said as I packed my bag.

"Okay...as you wish."he said and he seemed upset.

"Are you upset?"I asked.

"Ofcourse I am upset.We should get married soon."he said.

"What?? get married?where is my proposal?"I asked.

"Sh!t !"he exclaimed.

"You have not thought about it right?"I asked.

"No..no..it's not like that.Let's go.You are getting late."he said and left the room hurridely.

Wierd man.

"Call me when you reach home after work."he said as he bid me goodbye.

"Good morning Sir."I greeted doctor.

"Morning."and behind him was doctor's sister who took my place when I was at leave.

She takes pottery classes in a studio nearby her house but luckily when I asked for leave she was free as the course ended and new students will join next month.

"I am here to take my belongings."she said.

"Yes sure."I said and stepped aside as she was collect her things which were on the desk.

My mobile rang and Arjun was calling me.

"Good morning."I greeted Arjun.

"Morning."

"Arjun think once again."I said when he said that in two to three days he will give the resignation letter.

"Okay I know you will not listen to me.We all will meet soon before you leave the state.I hope you find love after leaving this place."I said as I know he will not listen to me.

"So why did you call me early in the morning?"I asked.

"I will check with Aaryan and tell you.You will leave next week right?"I asked when he said he was calling me to make dinner plans before he leave.

"Okay bye I will call Aaryan and tell you.I hope you will be happy there and you find someone who loves you as you deserve it."I said but he didnt say anything other than bye and cut the call.

I sat on the desk after she left the place.

Come on Rayna,back to work.

*************************
As I waiting for an auto I saw Aaryan leaning against the car.

"What?why are you here?"I asked.

"I totally forgot about Monica till I went to the daycare to drop the kids."he said.

Sh!t !

I have also forgotten about her.

"Thank god..she was busy talking with a parent and didnt notice me.I want us to pick the kids up so that she can see that even though she tried to break us we are together."he said.

"But she didnt try to break us Aaryan.She just took oppurtinity of a situation."I said.

"Whatever....I just want to show that we are together.Let's go."he said as he opened the door of the passenger seat and I sat inside and he also went and sat on the drivers seat.

"So how was your first day of work after the holiday?"he asked.

"Boring."I said.

"By the way why are you not writing stories?Today only I was checking so many people are asking you to update."he said.

"With all the things happening I am not able to write."I said.

"Rayna your readers dont know what's going in your personal life..they are eagerly waiting for you to update..and if you are not in the zone of writing atleast leave an authors note or something."he said.

"Okay...I will either leave a chapter or an author's note."I said.

"That's like a good writer."he said as we reached the day care and got out of the car and walked towards the daycare where the kids were standing with Monica.

"Hi Aaryan."she greeted him as she looked at us.

"Hi Monica."Aaryan said.

"You are with her?The one who was saying negative things about Piya?"she asked and Aaryan told the kids to go and stand near the car and they ran towards the car.

"Dont say such things infront of Piya."he said as he held my hand.

"We both heard what she was saying yet you are holding her hand."she said.

"Why is it hurting you Monica?"he asked.

"Because I love you and I thought one day you will love me too but everything changed as she came in your life."she said looking at me.

"Even if she didn't come in my life..I would have never loved you."Aaryan said.

"Why Aaryan?why cant you love me?"Monica shouted and started crying and Aaryan looked at me.

"I love the kids so much..I can do anything for you and the kids then why not me..why her..I thought I can confess my love for you but here you are holding her hand."she was crying continuously.

"Go and say something."I mouthed him.

"I will not go and console her."he said.

"I hope you will get someone who will give you all the love and respect you deserve."he continued and took my hand and left the place but I jerked my hand from his grip.

"She is crying Aaryan."I said looking at her crying hysterically.

"I know Rayna.Let's go."he said as I asked her and the kids to sit in the car and today Piya also sat at the backseat with me and Surya.

I was really angry at him.

She was crying so much.I was not asking him to go and hug her but wanted him to sit beside her and talk with her.

The whole car ride was silent.

"Will you not invite us to your house for evening snacks?"he asked.

"Yes..we will go to mommy's house."Piya exclaimed before I could say something.

"Let's go."I said and Aaryan parked the car and we were walking towards elevator.

"Mommy are you angry?"Surya asked and I smiled at him and picked him up.

"No my big boy I am not angry."I said as I kissed his cheek.

"Mommy I am a big boy."he said making me laugh.

"I know but you are not so big that I can't pick you up in my arms."I said.

"And me?"Piya asked and Aaryan picked her up.

"Happy?"Aaryan asked to Piya.

"Yes."

We entered the elevator and I typed the number of my floor and we were all silent.

"Why are you upset?"Aaryan asked me.

"As if you dont know."I said.

"You left her crying there."I continued.

"So what you wanted me to do..go and hug that girl."he whispered angrily in my ear.

"No.I just wanted you to talk with her."I said and he didnt reply anything as we reached our floor.

I unlocked the house and went inside.

"Finally.Back in my home."I said to myself.

It's a nice and different feeling to come in our house after so many days.

I turned around to see Aaryan just looking at me.

What happened?

Why does he seem angry?

Now what did I do.

Anyways I should be angry at him .

He should not be angry at me.

I asked the kids to fresh up and after they got freshened up I freshened up and sat beside them while Aaryan was in the washroom.

"So how was your first day of school after so many days?"I asked Piya.

"I was feeling so sleepy."she said and I laughed.

"Teacher said tomorrow she will give me all the missed work."she said.

"Okay.And what about you Surya?"I asked.

"Today was boring mommy."he said with a pout making me laugh.

"Okay you both watch Tv.I will prepare something for you."I said and went in the kitchen and Aaryan came and stood beside me.

I made  french fries for them and served them and the whole time I was silent and didn't talk with Aaryan.

"Wow.Thank you mommy."they said.

"Welcome.Enjoy."I said and went to kitchen to make coffee for us.

"Why are you standing here?Go and sit with kids."I said.

"No I want to stand with you."he said.

"Okay.As you wish."

I said and prepared coffee and was pouring them in a cup.

"Aah..sh!t."I screamed as coffee fell on my hands.

"Sh!t !" Aaryan screamed and took me to the wash basin,opened the tap and held my hand under the water.

"It's paining so much.How does it happened?"he asked.

"I dont know."I said and was on the verge of crying as it was paining so much.

"Wait I will go and buy cream."he said.

"I have cream in my drawer."I said and he took me to our room,took the cream out and applied it on the area which was burn.

"What happened mommy?"kids asked in unison as they come to see me.

"She burned her hands.Sh!t it must be paining so much."Aaryan said and I looked at him to see him crying.

"Sh!t !We should not have come here."he said.

I was surprised to see him crying and kids were looking at him.

"Surya and Piya I am fine...and it will be okay when I will apply colgate.You can go and have your snacks."I said and they left the room.

"Aaryan I am fine.Why are you crying?"I asked and then he looked at me and I realized that he didnt even know that he was crying.

"I am not crying."he said and wiped his tears.

"Sh!t ! It must be paining so much."he continued.

"Okay I accept I was crying but it's because of you.I was crying because you were in so much pain and you were crying."he accepted.

"There Monica was crying so much and you didn't even look at her and now you are crying just because I am crying?"I asked.

"Because I dont love her.I love you."he said.

"I am not a good person Rayna if your defination of good person is helping everybody."he continued.

"Aaryan."

"No.Listen to me."he said cutting me off.

"But I can't sleep peacefully if my family is upset."he continued.

"So if you want me to go and console Monica or make her understand,I will never do that and for that if you think me as heartless then its fine."he asked.

He is unbelievable.

"I am sorry."I said.

"I know you wanted me to make Monica understand but I said what I said..I am not that man to go and console her Rayna and I can't act...when I looked at her crying for me I didnt feel anything...what should I do..."he said.

"But when you cried it ripped my heart into two pieces and I didnt even realize I was crying until you told me."he continued and I hugged him tightly.

"I love you."I mumbled in his hug and he wrapped his hands around me and pulled me closer to me.

"I love you too Rayna."he said.

"Aah."I shouted as my hand was burning and he broke our hug.

"Are you okay?"he asked.

"Yes."

"We are staying here tonight and for next few days."he said.

"What?why?"I asked.

"Dont you want us here?"he asked.

"No it's not like that."I said.

"But your expression said you dont want us here."he said.

"No.I was just shocked.What about their school uniform,books and many other things?"I asked.

"I will go and bring them.You can't do any work with your hand and you will not even take care of the burn properly so we will stay here to make sure you are okay."he said.

"By the way dont you like to stay with us in our house?"he asked.

"Why?"

"Because earlier you were so happy as you entered the house."he said.

"Oh...so that's why you were giving me the angry look."I said.

"It's not like that Aaryan.It's my house and I have spend many years here so it's natural that I feel more comfortable here."I continued.

"I hope one day you get comfortable in our house too."he said and I smiled.

"Wait I will go and tell the kids."he said and left the room.

*************************
Will Arjun leave the state?

What do you think of Monica?

So...she loves him..poor Monica..like Rayna said :(

Do you think he should have gone and sat beside Monica and console her as she was crying so much?

Did you expected that he will cry...Actually he himself didn't expect it..

Is Aaryan right about what he said to Rayna?
