Hope this is good :* Happy Reading !

"Niti, tell him to move away.. nahi toh.." said Tushar stammering through the sentence.

"Nahi toh?" asked Parth in a challenging tone, stepping towards Tushar.

Parth was a tough guy, muscular guy but Tushar was not a bit muscular. If Parth would have wanted he could have punched Tushar's teeth down his throat right there, but it seemed like he was up for play..

"Parth please!" I stepped in and placed my arms between the two men opening them wide, "Please don't start it off now.." I looked at him with a pleading expression. He looked back at me, assuring me that he wouldn't create any fuss.

"Tushar please, listen to me." I pleaded him. He had been looking at me already.

"Tushh, He is the father of my child. I cannot keep him away from the baby, no matter what! He has the right over the baby, it's our baby Tushh.." I hoped for him to understand this.

"Kya matlab? Tu iske saath chalegi? Ye aaya hai and now you will fall in love with him again? Haan?" he asked me getting angry.

"She never stopped loving me, Tushh." said Parth. His tone awfully sarcastic.

"Main baat kar rahi hoon na!" I looked at him and spoke, gritting my teeth. And then I looked back at Tushar. "Tushh, aisa nahi hai.. Ye toh bus.."

"Ye toh bus kya!?" he interrupted me in between, "Niti you cannot play with my feelings like that!" I knew he was hurt, "Main har baar teri har situation mein tujhe support karta hoon, iska ye matlab nahi ki tu meri friendship ka undue advantage legi!" he shouted not caring about what I had told him about keeping quite.

"Tushh advantage...? Nahi yaar atleast listen to me!" I pleaded again.

"Yes, advantage. Tujhe jab meri zaroorat thi.. I was there for you, I agreed to marry you because I knew you needed me ! Maine tere baby ko bhi accept karne se mana nahi kiya but still.. Why didn't you tell me ki ye vapas aa gaya hai!? Haan?" he asked me. I could feel the pain and hurt in his voice.

"Tushh main.. Vo.. Batane wali thi tujhe.. Maine kaha tha na..."

"Ohhhhhh that is why you.." he looked at Parth and then back at me, ".. He is the reason why you wanted me to reconsider my decision and this is the reason why you wanted to call it off? This is why you wanted me to backout.. Right?" he held my arm and pressed it tight in anger, not caring about Parth's presence there.

"Watch it dude!" Parth pulled me away from his grip and made me stand behind him. "Don't you dare hurt her." he said with firmness in his voice, it was more of a warning for Tushar.

"Hah! Says the guy who hurt her the most! Nice..." Tushar came back with a confident sarcastic reply. "I'm no more scared of you Parth, so you better keep away from her." he looked at Parth eye to eye.

"You shouldn't be bro! Chill.. I'm not here to break your teeth, not in a mood for that.. I'm here for her and for our baby." he said holding my hand in his.

"Niti.. Do you want to marry me?" Tushar ignored Parth completely and again looked at me avoiding the Effiel Tower standing in front of me.

"Tushh... I.." I moved away to get his view and looked at Parth, he had been looking back at me, wanting me to answer.

"Yes or No? Just answer me." he was strict in his tone.

I was absolutely sure of what I wanted, who I wanted.. Parth. He was the only man I had ever loved and still did. He was successful in his mission, he had been able to persuade me, to.convince me, to make me his one more time. My mind raced back in time, back to the months I had spent with him in Mumbai, back to the pain he made me go through, back to the days when I cried all night long wanting him to come to me and it stopped at when he came back, the reason why he came back echoed in my ears. The incident that took place in the morning flashed in front of my eyes reminding me how much I needed Parth, how much I loved him and that I couldn't be without him. I survived two weeks, in pain and agony but I couldn't live an entire life without Parth.

"N..no." I said gathering a lot of courage.

"Okay." he said plainly.

I looked at Parth and he looked at me, that wasn't what we both were expecting.

"Okay." he said again.. cold, plain and expressionless.

"Tusha..." I took a step towards him but before I could say or do anything he opened the door and dashed out.

"Shit! Parth! He'll tell.." I ran behind Tushar.. He was already halfway down through the stairs.
"Tushar!!" I called him as I hurriedly ran down the stairs. Suddenly my foot slipped and I was about to tumble down if he wouldn't have been there.

I screamed in fear and shut my eyes tight. I heard my name being taken by the people in the hall. But none of the voices mattered. My heart skipped a beat. My hand went immediately over my tummy, protecting my baby and I felt a pair of strong arms holding me by my waist, tight.

"Are you crazy!?" I opened eyes immediately on hearing his loud voice. "Gir jaati toh!?" he shouted again. His eyes widened in shock, his face was pale. He made me stand straight and pulled me into a tight hug. Tears rolled down my cheeks, my heart was beating fast, my breath became heavy. I held on to him tight and cried.

"I'm sorry.. I'm.. I'm sorry Parth." I said digging my face in his chest and letting the tears flow. I wouldn't have broken out hug if mom wouldn't have pulled me away from him.

"Leave her!" shouted my mother and pulled me away from him.

"Niti.. Are you okay? Tu theek hai?" asked my mother and cupped my face wiping the tears.

"Ha.. Haan." I said not looking away from Parth who was standing just two feet away from me. I wanted to hug him again and cry, I was scared, a lot! I would have tripped and fell down if he wouldn't have been there. I would have lost our.. baby ! Tears kept flowing down my cheeks and I ran into him arms once again and clung to him tight not caring about even a single pair of eyes that were looking at us. He put his hands lightly around me and patted my back to calm me down. "Parth I'm sorry.. I am so careless! Agar baby ko kuch.." I looked up at him but he wasn't looking back, instead he had his gaze fixed in front of him.
I turned back to look at what he was staring at and I froze. I didn't notice the people. There was Mom, Dad and Tushar's mother too. I met my mother's gaze staring at me badly. I felt a tap over my shoulder and turned to look at it. It was my sister, her eyes assured me that no matter what happens today, she will always support me. Next my eyes looked at Parth who was now looking at me too.

----

"You said you sent him away! You said I could trust you!" shouted my mother in front of everyone. I was seated on the couch in the living room after the incident that had happened a few minutes ago and Parth was standing a few steps away, right in front of my eyes along with my sister.

"Kya hai ye sab Niti?" asked Tushar's mother. "Who is this guy?" Well maybe my so called to be mother inlaw did not watch my show. And she definitely didn't read newspaper. "Tushar do you know about this?" she turned to look at her son who was seated with me.

"Niti ka boyfriend. The guy who got her pregnant and then left her to rot alone!" he said in the roughest tone of his. I looked at him in shock. Though I knew he would say something like that only and also that whatever had happened a few minutes ago, they all were an audience to it but I still thought he wouldn't just say it all like that. I wanted to kick his ass and throw him out of my house! ".. And I don't know for what for he came back!" he looked at Parth angrily but Parth's gaze was fixed onto me. He too was scared after all that happened, he loved me and our baby a lot and he went through the same fear that I did, he was scared.

"What!?" exclaimed his mother. I didn't know Tushar was such a coward person. I always thought that he always understood me and my situations and he was a mature person but no! He proved me wrong. He was nothing but a cry baby! All the concern, all the care, it was all fake. I didn't realise it earlier but I did now. My sister had been right about him all my life and I like idiots had ignored her! He couldn't keep a secret to himself! He couldn't react maturly and listen to me! He had to create a scene in front of everybody! If he would have cared a bit more, he would have stopped to hear me out but he didn't.

"Pregnant?" after a long silence I heard my father's voice. Everything inside me broke once again. Just his voice, just one word he had said. But the shock in his tone, hit me like cold ice.

"Mrs. Arora.." my mother folded her hands, "mujhe maaf kar dena maine aapko itni badi baat nahi batayi.. Lekin please aap ye rishta mat todhna, please." my mother pleaded to her, her head hung down in shame.

I didn't move my eyes away from my father for even once. He too had his eyes fixed on me. It was as if we were conversing through our eyes. I could see his heart break, I could see his pain, I could see the disappointment all of it in his eyes. I wouldn'thave looked away from him if my mother wouldn't have said such an absurd thing. What she said made my focus shift from my father to her.

"Mom aap ye kya bol rahi ho!?" my sister being my voice, spoke for me. "Did you not see just now!? Mom how can you even think of something like that! Kya aapko dikha nahi how much concern and love this guy has for her!?" she shouted demanding an answer.

"This guy is not worth her!" my mother replied back with the same high pitched voice as that of my sister.

"Aunty.." it was the first time that Parth said anything but was shut up by my mother's stare.

"Bhaisahab, kya hai sab? Itne saal purani dosti hai aapki aur humari and aapne iss tarah.. jhoot bola humse?" This was exactly what I had feared. My father had absolutely no clue about this and yet he had to be answerable to the world. I felt so terribly ashamed of myself.

"Aunty aap unse kya pooch rahi hai.. Apne pyaare cheeku se pochiye! Sab jaanta hai ye bhi!" my sister replied for my father too.

"Tushar!?" shouted his mother demanding an answer.

"Mom main kya karta, main toh bus Niti ki help..." he looked at Parth for a second and, "... Iss ladke ne Niti ko chodh diya tha mom, akele.. Pregnant! Vo akeli thi mom and vo meri bachpan ki dost hai.. Also I love her isliye maine.."

"Wow! Amazing! Vo teri bachpan ki dost hai? Aww.. You love her!? Awww! Toh aaj kahan gaya tera love!? Haan!? Toh kyun bhaag aaya neeche haaan!?" Parth launched at him and grabbed his collar, "Tujhe jab pata hai vo pregnant hai phir bhi you bloody ran out of the room! She followed you dammit! Girte girte bacchi hai vo! Agar kuch ho jaata usse ya hamare baby ko toh kya karta tu haan!?" he shouted at Tushar's face in anger.

"Parth kya kar rahe ho! Chodho usse!" I got up from my place and tried to pull him away from Tushar. "Parth!!" I shouted but he didn't yet leave him.

"..pata hai main kya karta? I would have dig your grave right here!" he boiled with anger.

"Parth! Chodho usko!" this time it wasn't me stopping him but my mother.

"Aunty agar kuch ho jaata toh usko!?" he said still loud in his tone, leaving Tushar he faced my mother.

"Tumhein pehle sochna chahiye tha na ye sab! Usko jab akela chodh kar chale gaye the tab kahan tha tumhara pyaar aur concern!?" she demanded an answer to which he kept shut. "Koi jawab nahi de sakte tum! Hai he nahi koi jawab tumhare pass! Kyun aaye ho vapas!? Kyun!?" she shouted in the loudest pitch, her voice shaking, tears formulating in her eyes.

"I love her Aunty. I love my baby, I love Niti. I realised my faults thats is why I came back." he said looking towards me, my eyes were already fixed on him.
"I realised..." he continued, "what is her importance in my life. She is the only person who can make me go mad with anger and she is the only person who can calm the storm inside me. She's the only face that can bring a smile to my face, she is the only sunshine that I want to wake up to every morning and she is that last starlight of my beautiful nights." tears continued their passage down my cheeks while my lips curved in a smile he shifted his gaze from me and back to mom, "Aunty, I know maine galti ki hai, lekin I have realised my mistakes and I am back for my love. I'm back for my small family."

"Bus Parth, bahut drama ho gaya tumhara! I don't want you near my daughter or her baby! Get out of my house!" his words might have worked wonders for me but for my mother, she was tough as a rock.

"Mumma please!" I cried more as she literally pushed Parth towards the door, "Mummaaa!"

"Mumma please vo ro rahi hai please!" my sister tried speaking for me again.

"Nahi Radhika! I know what I am doing!"

"Papa please don't let her spoil Niti's life please papa stop her! Last time you didn't, iss baar please papa please!" my sister too cried and pleaded dad for help while she comforted me. I don't know why but my tears were uncontrollabe, this pregancy thing was not going good with me.

"Aparna wait." finally he spoke! Finally after a long silence from his side, my father stopped my mother. He walked up to me and held me in his arms.

"Papa please.." I said, my voice was cracking and fading with every word I said, "please.." I cried digging my face into his chest.

"Look up.." he said and I did what he said, "Do you love him?" he asked me meeting my eyes, he knew I that anyone could read the truth from my eyes. I kept looking at him and didnt say a word. I dig my face into his chest again and wrapped my hand around my tummy.

"Mrs. Arora.." he left my side and walked up to her, "I'm sorry, but we are calling it off. My daughter doesn't want to marry your son." he folded his hands but his head was held high. "Your son doesn't deserve her love, he's a coward, that we all saw today. Kabhi itne saalon mein laga nahi ki tum aise ho Tushar beta.." he said.

"Aap nahi, hum thodhte hai aapki beti se rishta, aur aapse bhi..!" said Tushar's mom in anger and left the house with her son.

It was just the five of us now.
I was still crying badly, my sister was rubbing my back to comfort me. My eyes fixed on Parth and his on me.

"Ye aapne kya kiya? Do you even know what this guy did to Niti!?" said my angry mother.

"Aaparna please! Let me handle this. Tumne apne mann ki kari thi 2 saal pehle and look what that has got you today! Nothing! Abhi bhi Radhika yehi hai, and tumse baat bhi nahi karti seedhe muh!" saying that dad moved mom away and stood in front of Parth.

"Do you love my daughter?" he asked in a strict tone.

"Yes sir." said Parth looking straight into his eyes.

"How can you assure me that you won't leave her again?" he asked.

"Sir, I will never leave her ever again. It was a mistake, some misunderstandings, my insecurities and my past that took over me but now I have left it all behind, I will not leave her. Never." he said still not breaking his eye contact.

"Are you also an actor?" my father never watched even a single episode of any of my shows, neither did he ever read any of the gossips columns in the newspapers so he didn't know about Parth and I being co-actors.

"Yes, but I am studying for architecture too. I will have my exam in another 3 months and then I shall get my degree." he answered every question without fail and without breaking his eye contact.

Hearing that my father turned around and looked at me, "You can stay here, with Niti, but in the guest room. And you have to prove yourself to us, that you won't leave our daughter like you did earlier and that you are capable to take care of her and your child."

That was enough said to bring a wide smile on my face, my heart smiled. I ran into my father's arms thanking him for what he did "Papa thank you thank you thank you!!" I hugged him tight still crying.
"Just because you love him and because I still trust you princess." said my father planting a peck on my forehead.

"Thank you, Sir." said Parth.

My sister too jumped in for a hug but mom was nowhere to be seen. She went into her room the minute dad started talking to Parth. But, one step at a time, we can convince her too.

----

"There is the guest room", I pointed towards a room that was just in front of mine, about 10 steps away. "You sleep there tonight!" I turned to look around by he was nowhere to be seen.
"Parth....? Parth..?" I looked left and right but I didn't see him anywhere. Suddenly I was swept off my feet and into a muscular pair of arms, carrying me into my room.

"Parth papa ne bola hai ki tumhe guest room mein sona hoga, waha jao!" I put my hands around his neck as he walked into my bedroom.

"Lekin mere baby ko bhi toh uske papa ke sath rehna hai..." he said making that cute adorable puppy dog face which he knew I couldn't resist.
