Recap: Reyansh gets to know he is the father of Ishu babies. Kiran reveals about the night at Maldives.
***************
Reyansh ran out of the room and pulled out the gun from one of the guard. They were shocked when he pulled the trigger and the blood splashed but sighed in relief when the bullet hit a guard’s arm. Mithun had hit Reyansh’s arm resulting in the bullet piercing through the guard’s arm.
Mithun: I m sorry. Get him treated and two of you get in with me.
Mithun entered the conference room dragging Reyansh with him and the guards followed him. He instructed the guards to clear Kiran’s body and once they were out Mithun slapped Reyansh hard on his cheek.
Mithun: How dare you thought of killing yourself Rey ? Did you think of Vaishu and your muffins? What will happen to them if you leave them ? She has found someone to love her after so many years of pain and here you wanted to leave her again in agony ?
Reyansh: I can’t … I can’t face her…I destroyed her. She thinks me as her hero but in reality I have turned out to be the worst villain of her life. How will I tell her that it was me who forced her in her unconscious state ?
Mithun: what about your babies ? You loved them so much when you never knew they were your blood but now after knowing they are yours do you want to leave them ? What did they do to deserve a life without a father ? Do you think they will survive a day without you ? Do you want Ishaan to be another Reyansh ?
Reyansh: No, no no that should not happen. My muffins .. my babies.. my son and my daughter deserve only the best thing in their life. Mithun, I .. I m going mad at myself. I will die without them.
Mithun: Rey calm down. Lets return home now.
Reyansh: No, I m not going anywhere. Vaishu will hate me and I can’t see that from her eyes.
Mithun: You can’t keep hiding forever Rey. Just listen to me. She will be upset, angry but she loves you as much as you love her. We will explain everything and give her time. She will come around and even if she doesn’t you don’t have a go other than waiting for her to forgive you but stay by her side. Don’t shut her out Rey. You both need each other and most of all Ishu babies need their mother and father in their life.
Mithun wiped Reyansh’s face and dragged him to the elevator. He called up Lakshman and gave orders to clear their path to the study and restrict anyone from entering the wing of Reyansh’s room and study except for Asha and Kajal.
As they arrived Mithun dragged Reyansh to his study but stopped as he saw Kajal in the living.
Kajal: Good thing you called me already.
Mithun: I m taking him to his study and you get Vaishu a few minutes later.
Kajal hummed and looked as they proceeded to the study.
Vaishu was tensed and looking at the time every now and then as it was the first time Reyansh had gone out without a call or message to her. She caressed Ishu babies hair as they were sleeping peacefully.
Vaishu: What is with your father today that he forgot to even message me that he is fine? I don’t know why but I can feel something is not good. Just one message will soothe my heart.
She stood in the balcony to get some fresh air but frowned when she saw all the cars parked.
Vaishu: Reyansh had returned ?
She quickly walked out of the room but stopped when she saw Mithun dragging Reyansh to the study. Vaishu followed them and saw Reyansh sitting on the couch holding a paper in his hand. His hair was messed, the button in his shirt was ripped and she gasped when she saw blood sall over his shirt.
Vaishu: Ansh…
Hearing her voice Reyansh closed his eyes letting the tears but did not raise his head to look at her. Vaishu sobbed and crouched before him and was about to touch his cheek but Reyansh placed the paper in her palm.
Vaishu: Ansh, what happened ? There are blood on you shirt and you are scaring me saying nothing. Why are you not looking at me ? Ansh open your eyes.
Mithun: Vaishu, look at the report in your hand.
Vaishu read the contents of the DNA report and her hands started trembling as she slumped on the floor and tears rolled her cheeks without any emotion on her face. Kajal entered the study and pulled Vaishu to her embrace patting her back.
Vaishu did not speak and looked at Reyansh who had his eyes on the floor. She then turned to Mithun with tears in her eyes and lips wobbling.
Mithun explained everything that happened at Maldives. Still Vaishu had no emotion on her face and she saw Reyansh on his knees with his hands folded before her as he cried.
Reyansh: I.. I m sorry Avi…
He couldn’t complete his sentence when he saw Vaishu turning away from him. Vaishu hugged Kajal crushing the report in her hand.
Mithun: Vaishu, I m not justifying what Rey did or I m not supporting just because he is my friend
Again Mithun couldn’t complete what he started as Vaishu walked out of the study. Reyansh was about to follow her but Kajal and Mithun stopped him.
Mithun: Give her some time Rey. This is not something easy for her to accept or forgive you immediately. Didn’t you see she is not in senses to hear anything now. Kajal will stay with her and we will talk once she vent out her emotions. She hasn’t shed even a drop of tear yet. She is like traumatised.
Reyansh: She needs me Mithun. I can’t leave her just like that. She is broken and her heart is shattered.
Kajal: That is because of you Rey. Listen to me now. Your presence will break her more. Give some time please. I will go take care of her and you can meet her when she feels better.
Reyansh: what if she leaves me ? I can’t imagine a life without her and my muffins. I won’t disturb her and stay at a distance but I want to be by her side. Promise I won’t speak a word until she is ready to punish me in whatever way she wants.
Reyansh ran out like a mad man with Kajal and Mithun running behind him. Reyansh saw the door was closed and tried to enter the passcode but started hitting his forehead as he remembered Vaishu had changed the passcode and hadn’t let him know.
Mithun: Enter the passcode Rey. Kajal will take care of Vaishu.
Reyansh: She changed the passcode some days back and refused to let me know.
Mithun cursed their fate and started banging on the door.
Mithun: Vaishu, please open the door. Promise, me or Reyansh won’t enter just let Kajal to accompany you. Please Vaishu I beg you. We are scared please open the door.
There was no response and Reyansh sat on the floor leaning on the wall next to the door.
Reyansh: Its all because of me. If only I had lived a disciplined life nothing would have happened like this today. I m just an animal who doesn’t deserve any love yet she gave me everything but what did I give her ? Pain is all I gave her.
Kajal: Believe in your love and I m sure you will not be disappointed.
Mithun was about to bang the door but Kajal stopped him.
Kajal: Stop it Mithun. Babies must be asleep and Vaishu is alone inside in not so good mind to take care if they start crying.
Mithun: What if she ?
Reyansh fell short of breathe hearing Mithun’s words and immediately Mithun patted his back.
Mithun: Rey nothing will happen to Vaishu. She will be fine. I m sorry to scare you. Please relax man. Think of your Vaishu and muffins.
Kajal: She is a strong girl Reyansh and would not give up so easily. Calm down please. You need to be strong to face her and plead for her forgiveness no matter however long she takes to forgive you.
Kajal sent messages to Vaishu which went unread. She tried calling her without banging on the door yet there was no response.
Vaishu sat on the floor with her knees pulled to her chest and shed silent tears. She didn’t know what was she feeling. She felt totally blank and it was like her mind was not ready to accept the truth and the reality.
Reyansh got up and started screaming for Lakshman and Asha who came running immediately.
Reyansh: Lakshman, break the passcode of my room now.
Lakshman: Yes sir…
Lakshman opened his i pad and started his work. It took a few minutes but he did succeed and Kajal opened the door but the sight before her broke her heart. Reyansh felt his heart stopped for a second as he saw her broken state. He was about to enter but Kajal stopped him shaking her head and entered with Asha.
Kajal closed the door and sat next to Vaishu caressing her hair but there was no response. Asha got to know everything from Kajal and sobbed for her children praying god to give them strength to overcome the pain. Early morning Ishaan started crying for milk yet Vaishu was in her place without reaction. Asha made bottle and fed the babies.
Morning Asha bathed Ishu babies and informed the maids to keep the breakfast ready. She walked out and Reyansh looked at her with hope in his eyes. Asha patted his arms with tears.
Asha: She hasn’t spoke a word yet Rey. Stay strong and she will come out of this. Go fresh up and have some food. Do you want to scare your babies with this blood shirt ?
Mithun: Rey, aunty is right. Come with me and be ready to face her when she makes up her mind to allow you. Ishu and Ishi will want to hug you and you cannot be wearing this shirt with blood.
Reyansh: Did Ishu and Ishi have their milk in the morning ? Asha maa did you inform the chef to prepare breakfast for them and Vaishu ? Give Ishaan’s car to him and he will have his food without troubling you and Ishi..
He broke down and Mithun hugged him as Reyansh continued to sob on his shoulder.
Reyansh: My babies Mithun.. they are my babies.. my muffins are mine..
Mithun: shhh lets go get refresh.
Mithun pulled Reyansh to the next room and pushed him in the washroom. Reyansh discarded the clothes and stood under the shower. He screamed feeling a sharp pain in his head as the water drenched him completely.
He emerged out wearing a track pant and T shirt still holding his head. Mithun who came back after a quick bath saw him screaming in pain holding his head.
Mithun: Rey, what happened ? Rey look at me..
He quickly called Lakshman with the medicine box and gave a pain killer to Reyansh and made him gulp forcefully.
Mithun called Kajal and informed her about Reyansh’s condition which started scaring him. Kajal cut the call and crouched before Vaishu who was still in the same position from the night.
Kajal: Vaishu, look at me.. I know this not any easy thing for you but let out your emotions. Don’t hold them and hurt yourself more. Reyansh is in pain Vaishu. He is hurting. Are you listening to me ?
When there was no response Kajal slapped Vaishu which made her gasp and she looked at Kajal panting heavily.
Kajal: Let out your pain Vaishu. Cry, scream, break the things but please be in senses.
Vaishu hugged Kajal and burst out crying pouring out all her emotions out. Kajal the real friend waited patiently stroking her back until she stopped crying but her hiccups didn’t stop.
Kajal: Vaishu, do you think Reyansh would have forced himself on you in his conscious state ? I m not supporting him and it would be your decision to forgive or punish him. I don’t need to say and you know how much he loves you and what will he be without you and your babies. I meant yours and his babies.. his muffins. I can see how broken you are and Reyansh is not less Vaishu. We are scared to see you both like this. Take your time to either forgive him or punish him but don’t shut him out because that is killing him. you have Ishu babies to look after.
She took Vaishu to the washroom and closed the door for her to bath. She returned to the room and saw Asha had returned with breakfast and feeding the babies who were holding Reyansh’s photo in their hands.
Vaishu came out dressed in a simple saree and Kajal shook head on seeing the water dripping from hair. She made Vaishu sit on the vanity stool and started drying her hair. Vaishu’s eyes fell on the photo frame on the vanity which had Reyansh hugging her from behind. Vaishu broke into sobs again and moved to the bed and hugged Ishu babies.
48 hours passed with both Reyansh and Vaishu crying over their fate unable to face each other. Mithun lost his cool when Reyansh started screaming holding his head for the 3rd time but it was Vaishu who was now tensed when she saw Ishaan and Ishika crying over everything and refusing to eat.
Kajal: Vaishu, its been two days you ate something and you haven’t fed the babies the whole yesterday. Can’t you see that they are crying for Reyansh ? Why do you keep them away from Reyansh ? Don’t you know how much he loved them even when he was not aware that they were his blood ? Now the moment after he got to know that they are his babies you are keeping them away from him. Ishu and Ishi’s bodies are warming. They are getting fever without Reyansh beside them and Reyansh screaming in pain. Mithun is scared to see him like that.
Vaishu’s mind was blank for a moment that she forgot everything except for what she heard from Kajal. Her babies are suffering without Reyansh who is also in extreme pain. Her lifelines were suffering and that ached her the most than the pain she was going through.
Vaishu: No… no..I m not keeping them away from him. I didn’t do intentionally Kaju. I can’t see them suffering from any pain. I m sorry. What should I do Kaju ? Please help me…
Kajal: Shhh, I know but please let them meet Reyansh. They will be fine meeting him and You don’t have to talk to him, you don’t have to forgive him but meet him once Vaishu. Please.
Vaishu who was hiccupping now carried Ishika and Ishaan and Kajal opened the door. Looking at the door being open wide for the first time after that night Reyansh stood with his hands trembling and he closed his fist as he saw Vaishu not meeting his eyes. He felt his heart aching to see her all broken and shattered. His lips wobbled as he got to see his muffins after the hell of 48 hours.
Ishika and Ishaan, both showed their hands to him to be carried but what shocked everyone was the first word Ishika uttered.
Ishiika: Appaaaa
****************
A/N:
What should Vaishu do now ? Considering they both were victims and from the way he had cared for her, loved her and Ishu babies, should Vaishu forgive Reyansh or punish him and leave his life for what he did to her though he was also victim of that night ?
Please like and comment
Take care and Thank You
