Here's part 24, hope ya'll enjoy it!

===============================================================================

In around 3 hours they reached Delhi, first they dropped Preesha off at her house. She thanked them and bid the trio goodbye. Then, it was only Aryan, Ishqi, and Ahaan in the car- There was an awkward silence but then Aryan said, "Ahaan, what's your address pehle tumhe drop kardete hai"

Ishqi: Woh actually Aryan, Ahaan abhi mere saath mere ghar aa rahe hai, so hum pehle tumhe drop kardeinge-

Aryan: Oh- he replied and started driving to his house- 

Aryan couldn't stand Ishqi's and Ahaan's closeness. Jealous was a mild word for what he felt, he really liked Ishqi and planned on proposing her after Raina and Ryan's wedding but Ahaan's entry had changed everything. Even before Ahaan re-entered Ishqi's life Aryan knew there were slim chances of her accepting his proposal but now all the chances seemed to be killed. 

Ever since Ahaan had come Ishqi seemed to be distant from Aryan. He agreed that Ahaan brought happiness back into Ishqi's life but still, he loved her and couldn't stand to see her with someone else. 

He drove back to his house while Ishqi and Ahaan were being all "coupley" in the backseat- Now, Ahaan was laying in her lap and she was massaging his head cuz he had a headache. They both seemed to be having the best moment of their lives ~ But Aryan needed to know their backstory to determine if he actually stood a chance, even if there was a 0.1% he was willing to take it. 

He put on his friendly facade and said, "Ishqi, Mein tumhe itne saalon se jaanta houn but mujhe abhi tak tumhari aur Ahaan ki story nahi pata...best friend houn, itna toh baatao"

Ishqi smiled- While Ahaan opened his eyes and sat up on the car-seat, "Humari story bohot ajeeb tareeke se shuru hui thi" Ishqi giggled- 

Ahaan grinned, "She stole..no no..borrowed my car"- 

Aryan: But why?

Ahaan: Because she had helped 2 elderly people in eloping and their families were behind them- 

Aryan laughed- "That honestly sounds like something Ishqi would do"

Ishqi: Hmm, and phir meine innke office ka sheesha thod diya tha-

Aryan: Kyun? he asked surprised-

Ishqi: Waise hi, gusse mein- she laughed-

Aryan was now kind of interested, "Phir?" he asked- 

Ishqi continued,"Hum dono ek dusre se bohot irritate hote the, we met coincidentally 3 times but phir humein pata chala that the person I was getting married to is Ahaan's best friend! My fiancee, Mayank decided that he wanted our wedding to happen with Sonu and Raj's. We both hated that idea but Mayank ki wajah se adjust karna parah- Humara milna bohot barh gaya aur jhagrah karna bhi!"

Ahaan: But phir I don't know when I developed a soft corner in my heart for Ishqi- Mujhe isski bohot fikar hoti thi, jaab yeh aas paas nahi hoti thi toh I used to feel restless-

Ishqi: Jaab bhi mujhe koi problem hoti thi toh yeh forun woh problem solve kardete the...Humesha mera saath dete the- Meine aapne fiancee ke liye jo love list baanai thi usske saare points usske bejai inhone ne tick kardiye- 

Ahaan: I also made a list, "Anti-Ishqi list"- The purpose of it was to ensure ke woh Ishqi kabhi tick na kar paye but on the day of Mayank and Ishqi's mendhi my name "accidentally" got imprinted onto her hand instead of Mayank's! That was the day I realized that she too had checked off all the points on my list. 

"The feelings I was developing for Ishqi scared me so to avoid them I called my girlfriend to the weddings, taake mein usspe focus karpoun and get over my feelings for Ishqi"

Ishqi: Phir decide hua ke shaadi resort se hogi and hum saab wahan chale gaye but during the way AVM ki gadhi kharab hogayi, we decided to take the train but mein bathroom mein phaas gayi, he came to look for me and we both missed the train...Mera fiancee aur inki girlfriend ne already train board karli thi so they went to the resort and we were stuck in the middle of no where!

Aryan: Wow! Kitni happening story hai tum dono ki!! Ahaan ki girlfriend thi aur Ishqi ka fiancee and tum dono ko ek dusre se pyaar hogaya! Pehli baar aisi story sunn raha houn! But whose AVM? now Aryan was genuinely interested in the story and he himself was rooting for Ishqaan- 

Ishqi: Ahaan Veer Malhotra ka short form AVM..mein inko wohi kehti thi-

Aryan: Oh- okay continue-

Ahaan: Phir Ishqi ne pregnant hona ka drama kiya, humein lift mil gayi and the man who gave us a ride dropped us at a lodge...Wahan par sabko lagah ke hum dono husband-wife hai so we only got one room....Lekin, humara AC ke temperature ko lekar phir jhagrah hogaya and the remote broke...Ishqi bimar hogayi and-

Ishqi: And he took care of me the entire night ~ Phir subah hum resort gaye, mere fiancee ne supposedly mere liye ek party organize ki thi, wahan kissi ne meri drink spike kardi aur mein drunk hogayi...Inhone mera dhayhan rakha aur nashe ki halat mein meine aapni feelings confess kar di-

Ahaan: Uss raat ke baad saab badal gaya! The feelings I had for Ishqi, which I'd kept hidden from everyone grew really strong! But denial and family values ki wajah se I didn't say anything- 

Ishqi: Hmm, and the next day was my wedding! Meine shaadi thod di because my fiancee turned out to be a creep and I didn't given anyone a reason. Then, 6 months Ahaan and I didn't meet, he hated me but we met again in the resort when he was getting married to his girlfriend-

Ahaan: Hmm, phir I got to know the truth about why Ishqi broke her marriage, Ishqi decided to leave for Singapore and that same day was my wedding..In the mandap I realized I love Ishqi and I ran from my wedding to the airport to stop her. 

Ishqi: Phir confession hua, saab ko pata chala....kuch problems aai lekin humari shaadi ka din aagaya...

Ahaan: Uss din meri ex-girlfriend ne Ishqi ko kidnap karwa diya- but Ishqi being her amazing self reached the venue on time and we finally got married!

Ishqi: Yes! Waise kahani batane mein bohot lambhi lagti hai but all this happened within a span of 7 months!

Aryan: Oh my god you guys! Mujhe nahi pata tha ke tum dono ka itna deep connection hai..wow! he felt bad for thinking so lowly about Ahaan, he realized they'd both been through a lot to be together- 

Aryan: Oh! Time ka pata nahi chala but mera ghar aagya! He got out of the car, grabbed his luggage, bid Ishqi and Ahaan goodbye and left. 

(I'm not gonna make the emotional part way too long cuz I'm not that good at writing sad scenes. Also, images of Ishqi's house are on ch 1 :)

Ishqi moved up to the passenger seat while Ahaan drove the car, Ishqi's house was just a mere 5 minutes away from Aryan's. "Waise, it felt good to relive all those memories again" a smile graced her faced as she looked straight ahead. "Indeed" Ahaan replied- 

The rest of the car ride was quiet, soon they reached Ishqi's house. Ahaan was vastly impressed by how large and beautiful it was. He beeped the horn and a few seconds later the gate was opened by Ishqi's house-help. Ahaan parked the car in her driveway, Ishqi's staff greeted her while she politely asked them to keep the luggage inside the house. 

She'd called Sonu & Kartik as well...Ishqi wanted Savitri to have the moment with her kids she deserved. 

Before the duo went inside  Sonu and Kartik also arrived....Ishqi greeted them and they all stood by the main door, Ishqi rang the doorbell and the door was answered by Savitri, she was stunned to say the least. "Undar chal ke baat karte hai"- Ishqi said and they all walked in. 

Once they were all seated in the lounge, Ishqi patted an extremely emotional Ahaan on the back, "Jaiye, aapni maa se baat kijiye"

He gathered some courage and walked over to his mother, someone he had misunderstood badly, someone who deserved an heartfelt apology. Savitri was also very emotional, Sonu grabbed her brother's hand and they advanced towards their mother. 

Savitri immediately understood that everyone now knew the truth about Durga Devi...Ahaan started speaking in a broken yet calm tone, "I'm sorry maa, jo aapke saath hua woh nahi hona chahiye tha...kissi ke saath aisa nahi hona chahiye...I'm sorry meine aapki baat nahi sunni...aapko itna kuch sehna parha" 

Sonu: I'm sorry too maa, hum aapke baache hote hue bhi aapke liye kuch nahi kar sakke..sorry

Savitri pulled both her kids into a tight hug, "Nahi baccho, tum dono maafi maat maango...jo kuch bhi hua uss mein tum dono ki koi galti nahi thi"

They tore from the hug, "Aur aab toh saab kuch theek horaha hai na, hmm" she said while she wiped their tears- 

Everyone in the room was emotional as well, they were all vastly glad that Ahaan & Sonu were now reunited with their mother. 

Sonu: But bhaiyya aagae kya?

Ahaan knew exactly what Sonu was specifically asking about, "Kal hum saab Malhotra mansion mein mile ge and phir decide kareinge ke aage kya karna hai...Jis ne galat kiya hai usse saaza bhi milegi", he announced-

To lighten the mood Kartik said, "Arrey mein bhi houn!" he walked over to the trio  touched Savitri's feet and she blessed him wholeheartedly. Just then Aaishaan ran downstairs.

"Mummaaaaaa" he said while running over to Ishqi and engulfing her into a tight hug- "I missed you soooooo much" 

Ishqi: I missed you too beta! she said kissing his forehead while everyone adored them-

They tore from the hug and Aaishaan turned around, he saw Ahaan, Kartik, and Sonu and gave them all a big hug as well...

Then, dinner was ready so they all had dinner together, bonded over stuff, and enjoyed each other's presence. Ishqi asked Sonu, Kartik and Ahaan to stay over for the night. They agreed and Ishqi showed them their respective rooms and everyone went to sleep in their room's since they were all pretty exhausted.
