*Several years later*
Reyansh was 29 years old now. And today was his wedding.
He was getting married to his mamu's best friend's daughter.
They have known each other all their life and so when their parents suggested the idea of marriage they agreed without much argument.
Aanchal was so happy seeing her little baby who was all grown up now getting married.
He was well settled in his professional life and now was getting settled in his personal life as well.
Both Mishkat and her loved Ahana like their own daughter. Aanchal shared a good bond with all the kids and was famous among them as their 'Shameless Bua'.
According to them she always spoke without any filter which was true to some extent.
But the kids loved her no matter what.
Ahana was happy to get such a cool mother-in-law.
Aanchal was taking Ahana to Reyansh's room for their wedding night.
After making her sit properly she said.
"Waise toh mera comment krna achha nhi lagega but still enjoy your night."
(Me commenting won't be appropriate but still..)
She smiled cheekily. Ahana tried smiling but her nervousness got better of her and Aanchal smiled softly.
"Relax! I trust my son. Agar tum comfortable nhi ho toh wo tumhe haath bhi nhi lagayega. Just tell him everything openly."
(If you are not comfortable he won't even touch you.)
She said caressing her head and Ahana nodded visibly relieved.
Aanchal left the room and saw Reyansh moving towards the room.
"Bhut nervous hai wo. Make sure to make her feel comfortable. Give both of you time and remember to always respect her Reyansh."
(She is very nervous.)
She said and he nodded with a smile.
"I'd never do anything to make her uncomfortable mumma. Trust me."
He said and Aanchal nodded caressing his head.
"I trust you mera bachha. Ab jaao. And enjoy the night."
(Now go.)
Reyansh chuckled and shook his head. His mother was never going to change and he wished so too.
An year had passed since Reyansh's wedding and last week Ahana had announced her pregnancy making everyone bounce in happiness.
Afterall it is the first grandchild of the family.
The happiness was doubled by Aditya and Khushi's wedding planning going on.
Aanchal and Mishkat had taken up the role of her parents so she doesn't feel their absence and they also feel like they were marrying off their daughter.
The moment they did her Kanyadaan Aanchal felt something and she got teary eyed.
"Aaj hamari beti ki bhi shaadi ho rhi hoti na Mishkat."
(Our daughter would also be married now right Mishkat.)
She whispered to him and he round his arms around her pulling her close sideways.
"Ye bhi toh hamari beti hi hai na. Bhagwaan ne ek chheeni toh dekho kitni saari de di."
(She is also our daughter only. God took away one so he gave us so many.)
He said pointing towards Khushi and the other Singhania girls.
She nodded and hid her face in his chest trying to control her tears.
Somedays the loss seemed a lot.
Months passed by and Ahana was in the delivery room. Her shouts resonated the corridor while Reyansh paced around worried. Aanchal was trying to calm him down.
Mishkat smiled remembering his time. When Aanchal was delivering Reyansh. He too was very scared and nervous while his mother tried to calm him down.
A smile formed on his face remembering her. They lost her many years back. Reyansh was very young at the time but he remembered how he cried seeing his dadi lay motionless while everyone around her was crying.
The little boy cling to his father and cried in his arms. The little boy who was all grown up now and was about to become a father himself.
His smile grew when he heard a loud wail and saw Reyansh stop at his spot.
His son was a father now. The nurse came out with the baby and handed the baby to Reyansh.
Mishkat and Aanchal stood behind him and awwed at the cuteness of her. It was a babygirl.
"Mumma look! She is here. So small and fragile. Mai isko protect toh kr paaunga na?"
(Will I be able to protect her?)
He asked and Aanchal nodded kissing his head.
"Bilkul mere bachhe. You will be a great father. Just like your father. And you are going to be her hero. I am so happy for you meri jaan."
(Ofcourse my child.)
He smiled witb tears in his eyes and the nurse came to take the baby to general checkup.
Aanchal followed her and came back after the checkup. Ahana was awake by now and Reyansh had helped her sit by support.
She looked tired but was glowing. Her eyes lit up seeing her baby.
Aanchal handed her to Ahana and she placed a soft kiss on her head.
Reyansh round his arms around her and they admired her with a soft smile.
Aanchal and Mishkat looked on with a smile on their own faces.
"This is not fair Reyansh."
Ahana suddenly pouted and Reyansh chuckled knowing what was coming.
"9 mahine isse apne andar mai rakhu and she comes out looking just like you."
(I keep her inside me for 9 months and she comes out looking like you.)
She complained and everyone laughed.
"Mumma."
She called softly gaining Aanchal's attention and said.
"Aapki beti wapas aa gyi."
(Your daughter is back.)
She said and Aanchal's eyes teared up.
"K-kya?"
(W-what?)
She whispered and Ahana smiled calling her forward.
"Aaiye. Mumma papa. Apni guriya ko pakadenge nhi?"
(Come. Will you not hold your daughter?)
Mishkat looked away trying to control his tears and Reyansh smiled handing her to his parents who sobbed seeing the little girl.
God was indeed the best planner! He took away their one daughter and in turn gave them so many each year. There could be no one better than him.❤️
