37: Together
Before reading further I would request all those who are Sanaa and Rehan's fans to go and read the bonus chapter Bliss that I have published few days ago in DTBT as this chapter will have a spoiler for that couple.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Abhay and Vaish were inside Sanaa and Rehan's mansion.
Both of them were feeling nervous. They were planning to confess the truth to their dearest friends and were scared of their reaction.
So this is how it feels like to confess the truth, Vaish thought and sighed; thinking about the time when she will have to confess the truth to her family.
Her family was on Europe tour and she had called her father's secretary to make sure that the news about anything happening in India doesn't reach to them.
They were coming back in next few days. They had booked their flight to Mumbai so as to spend some time with their daughter. She was delighted at the aspect of seeing them after three months as she missed them terribly but other part of her was scared of their reaction.
She hoped that before knowing the truth they at least meet Abhay with a clear mind and start liking him. That will make the truth easier for them as well as for her and Abhay. Abhay has also talked to his aunt and made sure that the board of directors don't spill anything to media.
She was bought out of the trance when she heard Sanaa's laughter. She saw Sanaa and Rehan coming from stairs, with Rehan holding her hand and carefully watching their steps. He looked at the stairs as if they were a war zone and was holding Sanaa as if she was the most precious thing in his life, which Vaish had no doubts was true.
But still he looked over protective and on the top of that Sanaa didn't stop him or something but was just laughing.
Abhay too noticed his friend's extra careful behaviour but brushed it as normal part of his over protective behaviour.
Sanaa and Rehan saw them and Sanaa whispered something in Rehan's ears to which he frowned but nodded.
Both the couples looked at each other, then at their partners. Abhay and Vaish were standing close just like Sanaa and Rehan and were giving each other a look which didn't miss the other couples' eyes.
"Abhay." Said Sanaa.
"Vaish." Said Rehan.
Both of them looked sheepishly at them before smiling fully and jumped to hug their friends.
What was more surprising was the fact that Abhay hugged Sanaa and Vaish hugged Rehan.
Both Sanaa and Rehan returned the gesture, understanding that finally their friends have realised their feelings.
After a minute, they all settled and Sanaa asked the question.
"How and When?"
Vaish looked at her and smiled.
"You both know that I got into a drunken marriage in Vegas with Mr. Stranger, right?" Vaish asked and immediately got three replies.
"You told him!" Sanaa and Rehan were surprised.
"You told them?" Asked Abhay accusingly.
"She is my best friend, of course she knows. I know, Rehan knows because she knows and what she knows definitely he knows." Vaish replied to Abhay and turned to their friends.
"Obviously I will tell him before being all lovey dovey with him. No secrets in a relationship, right?" She said simply shrugging.
"So you guys were advising me to go behind a married woman?" Abhay asked in a fake accusing tone.
"Abhay, we didn't mean it like that." Sanaa said and sighed. Rehan immediately started rubbing her hand and said, "Angel, don't take any stress. It's not good for you."
"And Abhay we advised you to accept your feelings after knowing that Vaish's marriage was a drunken marriage and she was planning to take a divorce from Mr. Stranger." Rehan said the thing which Sanaa heard from Vaish.
"You were planning to take a divorce from Mr. Stranger?" Abhay now accused Vaish and Vaish just face palmed herself mentally.
This was not what they initially planned.
"Shouldn't you be happy, Abhay? She is ready to leave Mr. Stranger for you. That's how much she loves you." Sanaa asked now feeling confused.
"If you love me why will you divorce Mr. Stranger?" Abhay asked and Vaish having had enough of his nuisance stood up in front of him.
"You two keep quiet and don't speak a word until I'm finished and you..." She said turning to Abhay, "I was thinking about that before I know the truth and if you as much as dare to blame my friends for giving some sensible idea to your useless mind then I will think about it again."
And then to they received the greatest shock of their life when Abhay Singh just nodded and sat silently.
"Shenu, Rehan thank you so much for advising us; we really needed that. Thanks a lot for supporting us and making us see the things clearly. We really owe you and that is saying something because I don't say thank you to my friends but this time I just can't stop myself." Vaish said and both Sanaa and Rehan smiled at her while Abhay grinned like a kid, for he was falling for her more than ever.
"Now as I was saying earlier, about my drunken marriage in Vegas with Mr. Stranger. I know I said that I will divorce him if needed but it's no longer needed." Vaish said and made a dramatic pause, just to see the expression on their faces.
Abhay was grinning like a monkey.
Sanaa was confused but didn't say a single word.
And Rehan, well she has to give that man credit for keeping his face neutral even when there would be so many questions in his mind.
"Because I love Mr. Stranger." Vaish deliberately used Mr. Stranger.
Sanaa's eyes widened but Rehan looked at her for a second, and then looked at Abhay who was still grinning while eating an apple.
Now Rehan's eyes widened in realisation.
"Abhay is Mr. Stranger!" He shouted.
"What? How can you say that Rehan?" Sanaa asked surprised.
"Look at them Angel; she is saying the truth about Vegas without any regret. She doesn't want to divorce Mr. Stranger because she loves him and look at that monkey; he is sitting so calmly all the while eating an apple without any care for this conversation.
He loves her so much that in his party when I called her Vaish he was jealous of my friendship with Vaish but now she is openly declaring about her marriage with some Mr. Stranger and he is sitting as if nothing happened.
He was not surprised about her marriage but shouted when I said about her divorcing Mr. Stranger.
That means only one thing, he is Mr. Stranger." Rehan explained and Sanaa looked at Vaish to say something to oppose Rehan's word but she was silent.
Now that was another shock as Vaishali Khanna is never silent.
"Oh My God! You guys got married in Vegas in drunken state?" Sanaa finally asked Abhay, who proudly grinned before saying yes and then loudly, burped.
Vaish felt like strangling Abhay. He was not helping her at all.
"But how is it possible and how come you didn't recognise each other?" Sanaa asked frowning.
"Wait a minute, you guys really didn't recognise each other or were you just doing your drama?" Rehan asked with a stern expression on his face.
"Well... about that bro..." Abhay said slightly rubbing his neck.
"I kind of knew about her from the day one but she realised it only yesterday." Abhay finally spoke and Rehan's face hardened.
"You were playing with her, weren't you?"
"No bro! Have you gone mad? Why would I do that with the woman I love?"
"Oh really? Then why didn't you tell anyone about your marriage? You ran away from Vegas like there was some fire! I thought it was because of that incidence with Pooja Aunty. Me and Angel; comforted you but you can't even speak the truth!
Tell me one thing Abhay; if not for Angel you wouldn't even have met Vaish! If you haven't met her you would have run from this marriage throughout your life because the Abhay Singh I know hates marriage. You hide the truth from your friends and family" Rehan said the hard truth.
There was a silence for few seconds. Sanaa was still digesting the truth and Vaish was worried sick after seeing Rehan's reaction, because his words hit her hard. Even though he was saying those words to Abhay still she can see her parents' face in his and can hear those exact words, "You hide the truth from your family Vaishali!"
Abhay was rooted to his place. Rehan's words were true. He could feel his fireball getting stilled. He knew that she must be thinking that her parents' reaction will be the same.
And she was right because they did the mistake in the past but now they wanted to come clean and make a fresh start, so he took her hand in his and looked into Rehan's eyes before saying,
"You are right, Rehan. I hated marriage. The idea of marriage made me sick and the thought of staying with one woman for rest of my life was boring." He could feel his Fireball becoming more still.
"But you once told me that when I will find the right person that all my doubts will fade away and she is the right one for me because with her everything falls in place. I hated marriage but marrying her made me realise the value of marriage. Nothing in the world gives me more satisfaction than the thought of staying with her for rest of my life. She made me let go of my guilt which I was carrying from past twelve years. She made me realise that relationships and commitments doesn't bound me but makes me free. With her by my side I can achieve anything and share the happiness with her. Also, I can now embrace my failures too because she will be with me no matter what happens. Forgive me bro, if I hurt you or Shenu but that was never my intention." He said.
He then looked at Vaish and gently whispered near her, "Never doubt us, Fireball. We can do everything together, whether it's our family or friends."
