Recap: Lavanya and chief Secretary of the opposition party threaten Vaishu and Mithun.
*****************
Mithun watched as Vaishu went through the file and she smiled widely looking at Mithun who had no clue on what was running in her mind.
Mithun: Why did you need the details of the celebrities who are trending in every state ? If you are thinking about giving them money then you should know it is highly impossible with the security and again paying them alone will not help us Vaishu.
Vaishu: We don’t need to pay them right away Mithun bro. Contact them through the opportunity they are waiting for and sure they will work for us.
Mithun: Stop being influenced by Rey, Vaishu. I don’t get what is running in your mind.
Vaishu: Voting starts at 7 in the morning and all the celebrities from each state whom we have selected will cast their votes by 7.30 with complete media coverage. But their costume should have the colours of the flag of your father in law’s party. It may not be costume specifically, it could a band, cap, a mask anything that provokes the public that their favourite celebrity is in support of the current government.
Mithun: This is fucking excellent plan. God, what are you even Vaishu ?
Vaishu: I m not done yet. Our Reva ( Reyansh and Vaishu) shippers are so eager to get a glimpse of Ishu babies very badly so we are doing a photoshoot of Ishu babies and we will upload the photos just an hour before the polling starts.
Mithun: You want them to wear similar color clothes to match the flag ?
Vaishu: No, a step ahead. Isn’t it Fish the symbol of the current Government ? So our Ishu and Ishu will hold their dolphin plush in the photoshoot.
Mithun raised both his hands in air and bowed before her which made her chuckle.
Vaishu: Stop being dramatic. I still don’t know if this will work but nothing is wrong in trying.
Mithun: Are you kidding ? I don’t even doubt a single percent of losing the election anymore Vaishu. So anything else I should do ?
Vaishu: First tell me have you done something on your part to help your father in law ?
Mithun: I have directed all our PR teams to work on taking down any memes, surveys that favours the opposition party. They will promote current government with unknown identity.
Vaishu: Smart Mithun bro. The last thing is post the picture of ripped plush of Ishu babies and ED officials at our manor on mine and Reyansh’s social media accounts the night before the polling day.
Mithun: This was not at all in my list Vaishu. Tell me honestly that you learnt political science or you have an active politician.
Vaishu: Stop teasing me and remember the most important thing is there should not be any media disturbance when we I mean you, me and Reyansh reach the venue to cast our vote. He shouldn’t get to know about anything that is happening around us so we will dress up normally and wear mask and coolers to hide our identity. Also we will not use any posh car.
Mithun: I have been with Reyansh since primary school but I couldn’t learn so much from him. Here you have been with him for few months and all I see is Reyansh himself in you.
Vaishu: You have been with him as a rock support Mithun bro. Before I came into his life you would go to any extent for him and even now you do that. The thing which changed is you let the fear of his life that made him your weakness but to me he is my strength and that doesn’t mean I m not scared of his life. I m scared to the extent that you could never imagine but the determination to fight for him and keep him safe kept my fears at bay. I can’t let myself weak at this situation and lose my Reyansh. Losing him is losing my life.
A tear slipped from her eye and she gulped stopping from the sob escaping her lips.
Mithun: Have you forgiven him completely Vaishu ?
Vaishu: My life had never been the way I wished it to be. When I thought there won’t be anyone for me in my life I got to know that I was pregnant with Ishu babies. When I thought there won’t be peace and love in my life anymore then Reyansh came into my life. He gave me everything that I haven’t even dreamt of. Again when I thought I have got everything a girl would want in her life then the reality came crashing up on me that it was Reyansh who destroyed me that night. There wasn’t a second when I used to curse that man assuming he ruined me on that night but the day when I got to know that I was pregnant with Ishu babies I stopped cursing him not because I felt he did good even in the disgusting way but all my thoughts were clouded with only my babies.
Mithun bro, will you help me ?
Mithun nodded his head and like a child Vaishu sat before him on the floor with excitement but her tears said the other way.
Vaishu: Should I feel galled that Reyansh who ruined me or should I feel happy and content that my Reyansh is father to Ishu babies and not that barbarian ?
Should I feel ashamed and disgusted that I was destroyed or should I make peace with my heart that I lost it to Reyansh the man I m madly in love ?
A part of my heart is still unable to forgive him because nothing could justify what happened to me and at the same time the other part of my heart blames me that it will be injustice to not forgive him for everything he had done to me and Ishu babies.
When I couldn’t punish the people who had given me nothing but pain then how could I punish the man who gave me only love from the moment he entered my life ? He could have left me on the road and looked after his business but he saved me, gave me life, love and care and how would I be able to punish him ?
I m annoyed that he couldn’t he live a disciplined life. Also if I consider him as impure then wouldn’t it go the same to me too if it was someone else instead of Reyansh that night? Do I even have the rights to question his way of life ?
Once we promised each other that we won’t ever have a discussion on our past. I really wished we met each other long back and everything happened in a different way. I will never deny the fact that I love Reyansh and will always do until I breathe my last and he is father to Ishu babies.
We both had been victims and had endured a lot in life and now when life has given a chance for us to be the solace for each other’s solitude will it be wrong of me to forgive him ? Will I be low of myself if I forgive the man ? Too many thoughts and end of the day I m fighting against me and I m not hating Reyansh but I hate myself because I feel like it was my curses that Reyansh is suffering today.
I couldn’t talk to anyone and I don’t know what I want for myself but one thing is sure that he is my everything and there is no Vaishu without Reyansh.
Mithun caressed her hair and took her hand in his palm and squeezed to comfort her.
Mithun: “There is no Vaishu without Reyansh“, didn’t you realize that you have forgiven him already from whatever you said now ? Like you said neither Reyansh nor you are at fault Vaishu and its not even fate’s play. Criminals and bastards made you both victims. If someone has to reap then it is that bastard and he will sure get punished for that. Once Reyansh recover from his stress and anxiety attacks then he will show everyone’s place for what they had done to you and Rey. You get me Vaishu ? Don’t feel bad for anything and just focus on your future with Reyansh and Ishu babies.
Vaishu nodded her head shedding tears and Mithun wiped her tears shaking his head.
Vaishu: Thank you so much. All these days I had bottled up everything and felt like my heart was ready to burst anytime. Now I feel a lot better bro. Reyansh has given me a brother, a friend and mother too. What will I do without you all ?
Mithun: You will forget this brother when you leave this room and meet that lover boy. Now even Ishu babies are not leaving his side and teasing me calling him appa all the time. Tell me when will they call me mama (uncle) ?
Vaishu: Ishaan has just started calling me amma and Ishi is yet to call me that bro but don’t worry we will train them very soon and form a team against Reyansh.
They chuckled and Vaishu left the study but before that Reyansh who had come in search of her exactly the moment she started pouring out her emotions, returned to room and laid closing his eyes pretending to sleep.
Vaishu entered the room and made bottles for Ishaan and Ishika as it was their feeding time and would wake up anytime. Reyansh sat up yawning and Vaishu looked at him with a smile, one with more clarity in her eyes and he could see the excitement in them like it used to be back then.
Reyansh: you woke up soon ?
Vaishu: Yeah, just now and thought I will prepare bottles before your son and daughter start crying for it.
She laughed a little loud and Reyansh couldn’t avert his gaze from her.
Vaishu: Go refresh and I will get coffee for you. Are you going for a walk ?
Reyansh hummed and entered the washroom. He splashed water on his face and stood before the huge mirror leaning forward with his palms rested on the counter.
Reyansh Mv: How much my angel has been suffering all alone and I couldn’t be with her or do anything to take away her pain. How could have I done that when it was me who had given her all the pain ? After all these she has forgiven me but here I couldn’t even get over my anxiety attacks. I wish better I could hug you and kiss you until I lose my life rather than staying away from you Avi but I m selfish Avi. I m so selfish that I want to live as many years with you. I want to love you with every fibre in my body and raise our children like you wanted them to be. I will be patient to let all this happen in our life Avi. I will not let you alone in this cruel world anymore and above all I will kill that bastard torturing every second of his life. I will skin him out and make him pay for everything he did to us. Its my promise Avi papa (baby).
He grit his teeth and felt the pain shooting in his head. Moving to the shower cubicle and shutting his eyes he stood under the shower holding his head grunting in pain.
Reyansh Mv: Calm down Rey. Your Avi needs you. Your son and daughter need you. You have to be patient for them.
Reyansh entered the room dressed in tracks and vest and drying his hair with a towel. Vaishu who was pacing fidgeting her fingers rushed to him and stopped without nearing him.
Vaishu: Ansh, what happened ? Are you ok ? What took you so long ?
Reyansh smiled and throwing the towel on the couch he sat on the bed taking the coffee in his hand from the night stand.
Reyansh: Calm down Avi. I m completely fine. Just felt like taking a long shower before joining my son and daughter in the garden.
Vaishu felt a difference in the way he spoke since the night that took a toll on their life. She saw him smiling genuinely and that reached his eyes which made her feel happy.
Reyansh: Avi, come with us and muffins will be happy to spend time with us together.
Mithun entered the room and stood with his hands on his hip glaring at Reyansh and then turned to Vaishu giving her too a glare.
Mithun: when will you both realize that I m their uncle and I play an important role in their life ? Its my right to spoil them and here you both are trying your best to keep them away from me. You Mr. Reyansh better give my niece and nephew to me or be ready to face the consequences.
Reyansh and Vaishu looked at each other and walked out carrying Ishaan and Ishika while Mithun stood looking at their disappearing figures.
Mithun: Shame on you Mithun. But I won’t give up so easily on my Ishu babies. I will fight for my rights.
He walked out to follow them and saw the couple smiling at Ishika who had finally called Vaishu as amma.
Vaishu: Mithun bro look Ishi has called me amma. I m so happy.
Mithun Mv: And more than happy for you all.
He smiled and ambled to them taking Ishaan from Reyansh and made him sit over his shoulder as they all reached the garden to spend the time together.
