Be ready for the blast (;

Enjoy reading (:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

True to her words Vaish did gave a tour to Abhay when he came to Delhi and the couple explored lots of places together. Abhay was excited to know about her childhood and also to eat the homemade food.

Their wedding was a blast. Unlike other brides Vaish wasn't crying, in fact she was snorting when Abhay got emotional and hugged her mother and her mother dearest made a promise to him that she will visit them as much as they can and if they cannot then he will come with or without Vaish.

Vaish huffed at their dramatic goodbyes and hugged her father who was also smiling. She expected him to be a little bit emotional but no in these few days that they have spent together, her entire family has become so close to Abhay that it felt as if they knew him for so many years and as much as she pretended to be jealous from outside, she can't help but feel happy about it.

They were supposed to go to Mumbai where they will have another grand reception. That reception was organised by Pooja aunty for her business associates but Rehan and Sanaa were taking care of it. So they can't come to attend the wedding in Delhi and she didn't force them to as coming here meant facing her old family and she didn't want her friend to even remember a thing related to them. She was glad that now she was practically a family with them.

While Pooja Aunty was excited for reception, Vaish was excited for the next day; when they were having a reunion. Rahul and Pakhi have arrived in Mumbai to attend their wedding but all of them knew that they can't talk much in the reception so they have decided to do a get together next day. She and Sanaa decided to introduce Abhay and Rehan to their friends and also to spend some quality time with each other.

After that she and Abhay have decided to go for their honeymoon. They were going on a Europe tour and both their family have given them holiday for one month. She was excited to explore Europe with the love of her life but for now she wanted to meet her friends including that idiot Kabir. He was so getting a slap from her and then may be a hug too.

She could have gotten ready earlier but her husband was distracting her too much by giving a free show of his body. He was trying to seduce her and even though she pretended to be not affected by it; she was feeling hot from inside even though ac was on.

Abhay chuckled seeing her nervousness. She was getting affected but she was so stubborn to admit that. It was fun to tease her and he can't help but smile at her. Who knew that the ever so confident Vaishali Khanna Singh will become nervous just by seeing him without his shirt?

"Are you alright, Fireball? You look like you are burning?" Abhay teased her and Vaish let an angry curse in her head.

"You are right Abhay! I'm feeling too hot. May be Mumbai weather is not suitable for me. I think I should wear my red dress. What say husband?" Vaish asked smirking. Now it was Abhay's turn to burn red.

Red dress.

That damn dress.

He was planning on burning that red dress which started all this. Make no mistake his wife looks beautiful in everything she wears but that dress made her look like goddess. That was the dress she was wearing in Vegas. The dress because of which she was offered three drinks including him. Luckily for him she rejected the other two and saved him from committing two murders in Vegas. But he has decided that she was not going to wear that dress in any public place. That dress was reserved for their dates.

Vaish knew that and she deliberately mentioned that to get a reaction out of him and she was not disappointed. He walked towards her in a predatory manner and she looked at him like an innocent child, she never was.

"You wear that dress once Fireball. I'm not going to stop you from wearing that and you know that. But I will make sure that we won't leave this room and you know that too. So decision is in your hands." He whispered near her ears and Vaish shivered at the intensity of his words for she knew he was saying truth.

And she was tempted to take his offer of staying back!

God! She was behaving like a wanton and she was enjoying it.

She looked at him with all these thoughts in her eyes for now she didn't want to hide anything from him and saw the reflection of her thoughts in his eyes. A look passed between them and not being able to stop himself anymore he pressed his lips to hers and devoured the sassy mouth of her which always tempted him with sinister thoughts.

Vaish was lost in his kiss and every damn thought left her mind.

***

They were officially late for that get together but turned out all their friends were late.

Birds of same feather flock together!

Vaish Abhay and Rahul Pakhi entered the restaurant at almost the same time. They were just seated when they Sanaa and Rehan entering the restaurant and with the way Rehan was holding her in his protective embrace and walking beside her; the inner romantic inside Pakhi swooned.

But the other three got suspicious, for the way Rehan was holding Sanaa; it appeared as if she was some porcelain doll which will break down if not handled properly. The couple spotted their friends and went near them. Sanaa hugged her friends and even shed few tears which made everyone shocked because the Shenu they knew never cried.

Rehan immediately wiped her tears with his handkerchief and this time Pakhi whistled not caring for anything. Though they were in private section yet Rahul hushed her and everyone finally settled down and laughed at her antics before a formal introduction.

"No need to get worried guys! It's just happy tears, this feeling of meeting you all after so much time is so overwhelming and my hormones are making me all emotional." Sanaa said.

"Hormones." Pakhi whispered and Sanaa sheepishly smiled at her gynaecologist friend.

Pakhi looked at her suspiciously. She has not seen her from long time; that's why she was not able to see the change in her body otherwise she would have recognised it at first; not because she was a gynaecologist but because she was her best friend.

Rehan whispered something in his Angel's ears and she smiled. Pakhi's attention shifted to him. She loved Rahul to death and it was true love and given all the options in the world she will pick up Rahul without any doubts. But Rehan really was a gentleman and no one can deny his charm. She was happy for Shenu because she finally got what she deserved, from the very beginning. She has seen Sanaa's struggle from the start and more than anyone she knew her pain, for she was her roommate in hostel during their college.

Rahul on the other hand was busy observing Abhay. That man knows how to dress up smartly, he could say that. But what really made him curious was how did he handle Vaishali? That girl is a drama queen, no doubts and Abhay looked so sincere... How will his friend live with such a serious person?

"Where is that monkey?" Pakhi asked in a fake angry voice but everyone could hear the excitement in her voice.

"Yeah! Where is that idiot? I have to beat him up! Don't tell me he is so scared that he won't come in front of me." Vaish said in a joking manner and everyone laughed but not Sanaa because she had a feeling that he was near.

"Scared and me? In parallel universe; you devil incarnation!" Kabir said in a playful tone and everyone but Sanaa turned to look at him.

Vaish walked to him first and made an angry face but he just held his ears and gave a smile. An untold apology passed between them; a look of understanding and realisation and Vaish can't help but hug him tightly.

Because till now she was seeing only Sanaa's pain but seeing him; she saw another version of him; like he has matured beyond his age. His eyes were holding so many emotions and she was unable to decipher them. She didn't even tried to because she knew only one person could understand Kabir's twisted emotions and that person was currently sitting with her back turned on him.

So she did the only thing she could. She hugged him tightly with all her strength to show her support. He was her friend, from childhood and she can't hate him no matter what because he has taught her so many important things about life.

Kabir has not realised yet what all he had missed but seeing all his friends in front of him; he realised what he missed in the years he was gone and his conscience once again warned him against the idea he had in his mind for today. He saw them few months back when Vaish's wedding drama happened but that time he was in too much hurry to leave and they were busy with Vaish's matter. But today they had all the time to realise each other's pain.

He playfully ruffled Vaish's hairs and she swatted his hand and laughed. Next was Pakhi and she looked at him for two second before doing unexpected.

She hugged him and that was surprising because they were always fighting or teasing each other. Today he saw what everyone told them both. They had this unique bond where they don't support each other by good words but have their own ways of making the other person feel better. She will tease him to the point where he can't help but forget everything and reply to her in her own language with all the sarcasm of the world dipping from his tone.

"Four eyes finally became two eyes! Not fair. Now how will I tease you?" He asked and she immediately kicked him and smirked.

"I'm still four eyes only. Just wearing the things they call lenses. One could argue that being a doctor you should know about them but then again we all know your I.Q.!" Pakhi replied and Vaish clapped at her perfect reply.

Next was Rahul.

He didn't say anything to Kabir. He just looked at him and Kabir felt guilty for leaving his best friend without any contact.

"You should not have done that. I didn't deserve that." Rahul just said and Kabir's guilt doubled. 

He almost decided to leave his plan for tonight because he knew the consequences of it. It will destroy everything once again.

"I'm sorry bro." Kabir finally said that and came forward to man hug him.

"We will talk about it later. Right now be normal." Kabir whispered in his ear and Rahul nodded before smiling and turning to everyone.

"Meet Abhay, Kabir." Rahul introduced them and Kabir turned to Abhay and shook his hand.

"Are you sure?" Kabir asked and Abhay got confused.

"Are you sure that you want to handle this drama queen for rest of your life? I can still arrange an escape plan for you!" He said and realisation dawned on Abhay that he was just pulling her leg.

"Not a chance dude!" Abhay replied looking at Vaish who was making faces at Kabir.

"Good." Kabir was satisfied by his answer and hugged him and whispered in his ears, "Hurt her and you will face us before her family."

Abhay nodded understanding his warning but he wasn't the one to be scared of them.

"Hurt my wife and Shenu again and you will not be able to warn anyone else again." Abhay said, keeping his voice down when everyone started sitting and even though Kabir was surprised to hear his sweetie pie's name from Abhay's mouth he didn't show it and nodded stiffly.

That's it. He won't hurt them today. May be some other day but not today. They all are too happy. He can't spoil their happiness. He smiled arriving at his final decision.

The waiters arranged for a chair and call it destiny or fate that his chair was beside his sweetie pie. Her husband was sitting on one side of her and he was sitting on another side. Everyone noticed that but no one said anything.

Not wanting to make the atmosphere awkward they both smiled at everyone but themselves. Kabir and Rehan just nodded at each other.

Sanaa was keeping quiet in front of him. It was surprising because he was the person to whom she has expressed herself the most but today even when they were sitting next to each other; they could feel as if there were miles between them and this bothered her a lot.

She became surer of her decision. She has discussed it earlier with Rehan and even he thought that it was a good idea. She can't live like this.

She can't stay away from her Bir. She can't ignore him. Whatever he did was in the past and they have already wasted many years because of that. Now she didn't want to waste any more time.

She has finally decided to forgive him. She will talk to him after this dinner is over. She looked at Rehan and he understood that her decision was positive. She was going to forgive him and he smiled at his Angel's maturity. He didn't want his wife to be stressed.

She was going through a beautiful phase in her life and he wanted someone from her side of family too. Someone who genuinely cared for her and Kabir was the one because he has seen her from childhood.

Kabir looked at his sweetie pie's face. She looked different. She was glowing. He was happy to see her happy. If being with that businessman made her happy then he will tolerate him for her sake.

But his smile soon turned to a frown when he noticed that waiter served her juice. In all the years he has known his sweetie pie she always drinks black coffee without sugar but today she was drinking juice; which was really weird.

He knew that her habit has not changed in all these years too because when she visited him, she ordered black coffee. She didn't like any other beverage no matter how much anyone forced her. Then what changed today?

He looked at her carefully. She has gained weight and he was happy that she was taking care of herself and eating properly. He finally noticed her swollen foot because she has opened her shoes and his eyes widened.

This can not be happening!

He closed his eyes and silently prayed that whatever he was thinking was just his thinking and not truth.

Sanaa could feel his eyes on her and she was praying that he didn't realise about her pregnancy before she tells him. She wanted to tell him first and then forgive him, forgetting everything about the past.

The dinner was a good affair and they all talked forgetting everything until the dessert was served.

Fruit salad; Sanaa and Kabir's favourite dessert. Kabir had ordered it. She happily picked it up but Rehan suddenly stopped her and told her something and her eyes widened before she kept it back.

Rehan offered her, his ice cream and she smiled and took a bite from that.

Kabir finally closed his eyes and accepted the truth. She didn't eat her favourite dessert because it was having papaya. He clenched his fists before arriving at his final decision.

Sorry mom!

Sorry sweetie pie!

As everyone was getting up, he saw his sweetie pie coming to him. He knew that look. She was going to forgive him and he knew why. She needed an emotional support at this time of her life but he was going to disappoint her.

For a fleeting second his heart reminded him about the childhood image of her. The memory of how they met for first time passed through his mind and a lone tear escaped his eyes because what he was going to do now was going to destroy everything once again.

Why does it have to be so difficult? He wanted to be greedy for one second and hug her tightly and accept whatever she was offering but he knew that now was not the time, especially when she was in this condition.

Sanaa noticed the tear in his eye and then the determined look. She knew that look. She knew what it meant. She knew what was coming, something which she won't like. She knew he knew.

She silently begged at him to look at her once and not do whatever he was going to do but that only made his decision more firm. He can't, he just can't.

So he turned towards his side and saw Rehan standing there and talking with Rahul and Pakhi and walked towards him with a determined look and a clenched fist.

Kabir turned Rehan in a forceful manner and Sanaa knew what he was going to do but before she or anyone could do anything; he punched Rehan.

Sanaa just made a loud sound and hurriedly walked towards Rehan's side. All their friends came and stood near him while Rahul was holding Kabir back.

Kabir was not feeling sorry for the punch. He wanted to give it to him and he didn't regret it. What he regretted was that it all had to happen in this manner, at this time and place.

"You! You did it purposefully right?" Kabir shouted and he was really angry.

While others were just confused.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Abhay shouted.

"Have you lost it completely you idiot?" Vaish was also angry.

Whereas Rehan was just calm. He looked at his Angel and saw her getting distressed and that alarmed him more than that punch.

He immediately got up and made her seated in his place and gave her the water he was drinking.

"It's alright, Angel! I'm fine. You are a doctor. See for yourself that everything is alright? I can see you and I can feel us." He whispered; pressing his hand on her abdomen and now everyone's eyes widened.

Realisation dawned upon them that their friend is expecting.

Rehan then turned to Pakhi and said, "You are an OBG right? Please check her. She is scared. She just completed her first trimester." He said and Pakhi immediately nodded moving towards Sanaa but she stopped her.

"I'm alright. She can check me but a second before that. Let this man complete his questions." Sanaa said and looked at Kabir emotionlessly.

That single look broke Kabir. She didn't even call his name.

Everyone looked at Kabir questioningly.

"He did it purposefully. He got you pregnant so that you are now tied up. You can't do anything but become dependent on him for everything. You are the leader of SMC, a renowned neurosurgeon but now you won't be performing any major surgeries for a while now. Your career will get a setback. While he will be busy making money you will become a housewife for him. This is the mentality of these businessmen that I hate. I despise them. Now he has one more advantage over you, your child. He will use it as your weakness." Kabir ranted and everyone looked at him shocked over his mentality.

But Sanaa started laughing humourlessly.

"You are so funny. You know you were the one who taught me the lessons to learn from my past but not become a prisoner of it. But what I'm seeing today is nothing but a man who is prisoner of his mind. A man so lost in past that he can't see his present. He can't see anything around him. He can't differentiate between people. A man so blinded by his hatred that he can't look at anyone with a clear mind.

You think just like Mr. Malik took advantage of your mom; every man will take an advantage of the woman who loves him. I and Rehan are lawfully wedded. We want our whole lives together and this happiness together and I'm not going to explain anything more than that to you because you are too small minded to understand the meaning of love and trust.

And my career getting a set back? Are you serious? There is a thing called maternity leave and it is there for a purpose. I, like millions of other women on this planet know how to manage my personal and professional life together and with a partner like Rehan and family like mine, I will definitely do that.

I pity your sick mentality Kabir Malik Shah. Don't show me your face again. You really proved that you are your father's son!" Sanaa said her final words and Kabir was shocked. 

The last sentence hurt him the most.

His Son.

That was something he never wanted to be.

He looked at their faces once again and captured the final memory before turning back to leave.

"And one more thing Mr. Malik." Sanaa said and he turned to look at her.

She stood up with Rehan's help and looked straight in Kabir's eyes, "He doesn't have one advantage over me but two. We are having twins." She completed and Kabir stilled.

He immediately turned his face and hurriedly walked away; not wanting to give anyone any chance to understand him.

Now he was clearer than ever, what he did was right.

He smiled darkly.

He has cut off the last piece of rationality in his life. Now there won't be any voice of reason, no one to guide him or support him. Hell! No one could even understand him and his twisted ways.

He got a message while driving and he opened it and the contents shocked the hell out of him even though he saw it coming.

He stopped the car in an abandoned area and closed his eyes. Whatever that happened today was not all bad. He smiled widely after a long time. It was all going good; just the way he wanted it to be.

He came out of the car and sat over the hood to take a deep breath. A sweet voice entered his ears and he smiled more if possible.

All for her because of her and only her.

He read the message once again and whispered...

"Turned out that we really are similar Sweetie pie; our timings are so damn similar. The day you gave me the news that I'm going to Uncle is the day I want to tell you that...

You are going to be an aunt too."

***

Boom! 

What just happened? I don't know...

But I sure as hell want to know your reactions to this!

Sweetie pie gonna be an aunt?! *Shocking* Right?

Who is the mother ??!

Twins for Mr. and Mrs. Siddiqui!

And let's not forget Kabir's stunt... He did it purposefully even after knowing all the consequences... This is the twisted mind I'm talking about!

His book is gonna be too much fun for me and I'm going to post a chapter soon but it will begin from beginning with lots of flashback (:

Till then keep on voting, commenting and sharing and please tell your opinions about the story as the next chapter is going to be the last chapter for a while because after that I will write about Kabir!
