Mohabbat Ki Hain, Gunah Nehi

Memories

A few weeks later, Roshni was missing her family so she and Aman went to Ahmed Mansion for a few days. She was now four and a half months pregnant. Rhea welcomed them happily as her pregnancy buddy would be with her for a while. Karan who came home from work was very surprised to see them and they all talked until late night. 'Do you remember what we had to do that time when you both fought?' asked Karan. Roshni looked at Aman and smiled looking down. Rhea asked 'why are you two smiling? What happened?' 'Rhea, these two weren't even looking at each other properly let alone talk to each other for two days so we had to lock them together in a room until they reconciled.' 'Wow, a room? Together? Roshni, what exactly did Aman do that you guys became friends again? asked Rhea winking with a double meaning. Roshni blushed and said 'nothing like that Bhabhi. He just did the three things that I asked him to do.' Aman gulped when he remembered her three strange and random yet cute demands. Karan, now curious asked 'what demands?' Aman smiled and said 'they were weird but they were cute.' 'I can't stand this suspense any longer. You have to tell me. What were they?' Aman looked at Roshni and smiled. 'I had hold my ears and say "sorry", I had to say "Roshni, you are the most beautiful girl in the world" and I had to do something else that she said but also never said.' 'Said but never said? What does that mean?' 'It means that she partly said what I had to do but not fully or to who.' The three of them looked at Roshni as if asking what the three things were. She smiled and held Aman's hand. 'Khanbaba do you remember when this happened?' Aman thought for a while and said 'around three months before you left to study law.' 'You have already completed the third task Khanbaba.' Aman looked at her in surprise. She continued 'I had realised my feelings for you at that time. The third demand was for you to say "I Love You". I didn't tell you at that time because I wanted you to realise it yourself and do it and you did.' Aman recalled the moments in which he realised his love for her, his confession and their Nikkahs. They had come such a long way together and they had so long to go.
Karan and Rhea looked at each other and thought about their own journey. The first time they met each other was in an orphanage during childhood. Karan got adopted by Mansoor and Salma because they weren't able to have their own kids. They loved him like their own son even after Roshni, their own biological child was born but there was always a part of him that missed his old childhood friend. They met again during college and got reacquainted with each other and soon their friendship blossomed into love. Rhea was accepted into the family wholeheartedly by everyone. There was a time when she was depressed by the fact that she had no one with her but after the marriage she found herself surrounded by people who she could call her family. People who actually loved her. She loved them too and she could do anything for them. Karan held her hand when he saw her getting emotional. She looked at him and their intertwined hands and smiled. He lifted their hands and kissed her hand. 'Get a room you guys' said Roshni breaking their little romantic moment. They came out of their trance to see RoshAn grinning at them. 'Oh please, we don't do even half the amount of PDA you guys do everyday' said Karan who was a bit annoyed at the way she broke their moment. Roshni stood up and said 'too bad. They younger ones have the right to do it' and ran in a not so fast manner as she didn't want Aman to start freaking out over her. The other three looked at each other and started laughing, amused by her antics.
The next night Aman woke up to Roshni sitting up in bed and crying. He immediately got up and started asking her if she was alright. 'Rosh what happened? Are you ok? Is it hurting? Tell me. I'll go call the ambulance right now.' 'Khanbaba I'm ok but they're not.' 'Who are not?' Roshni inhaled and said 'Meredith.' 'Which Meredith? Is she your friend?' She shook her head and said 'no Khanbaba. Meredith from Grey's Anatomy. Her husband died. How can Mc'Dreamy die like that? What about her and her children? What will happen to them now?' Aman looked at her and raised his eyebrows. 'Roshni you knew from five years ago that he dies. We watched it together remember.' Roshni continued crying and said 'but still. How can he die? What about the children? They youngest one didn't even get to see him or know him.' Aman chuckled at his wife's mood swings and hugged her. He reassured her of everything being fine and they fell back asleep.
