Rehnuma ❤️

Chapter 13

They went out, Rithvik was saying that he would stay in the hospital with Adi, they saw Rey approaching, "Can I meet Taani once?" asked politely, Rithvik wanted to deny as now Taani don't need any stress, but Arjun nodded, he went in after knocking,
Adi asked again, "you want anything" she shaked her head in 'no', "I'm fine Adith please stop worrying" before he say anything, they heard the knock, Rey entered, Taani didn't knew what happened, so was amazed with his visit,Adi knew he would come to meet her once, "tum theek ho" asked lil hesitated but he's voice and eyes held concern which is visible, she nodded, "I'm sorry Taani for everything I know this is not the right time but before I go I wanted to apologize" making them wonder 'where he's going', "I know my sorry won't change anything but I won't be able to moveon without apologizing to you, meri galtiyon ke liye shayad tum mujhe kabhi maaf nahi karo par shayad ek din jab hum kabhi phirse kahin mile toh you won't look at me with hatred, I know I never trusted to you enough but I always respected you,maybe you would never want to remember me but I'll always cherish the little time I had with you, you'll always remain special and I'm genuinely very happy for you, I'll always be your well-wisher Taani and I swear ab se I won't disturb your life" it was the first step, the most important and difficult one but he felt light after he said all this, like some burden moved, Taani was happy that he realised what she was trying, she knew it won't be easy for him to say that but still he did that made her feel good, Adi was also surprised with his words, the little interaction he had today with him, he can say he's not that bad of a person maybe some things and people are not meant for them, people do mistakes and the one who realise his mistakes, own it and try to rectify is the brave person.
"Maine aapse pehle bhi kahan tha I don't hate you and I would never hate you, it's true that maybe I don't trust you now but I always had respect for you and aaj aapke liye izzat badh gayi hai, you're trying to rectify your mistake that's really good, aap moveon karoge toh I'll be genuinely happy and even I'll always wish you good" said smiling weekly making him smile at her, she's selfless and she taught him love is selfless not selfish for the first time he felt immense proud of her and happy that she was a part of his life maybe a closed chapter but a special one. He turned to Adi, "I'm sorry for my friends deeds, and I don't have to say but Taani ka khayal rakheye, she's a gem, I wish you both good luck" he said with a small smile, Adi patted his shoulder, "All the best to you too, take care" said Adi genuinely, he was never insecure or felt jealous of him because he knew Taani was his but he felt anguish for him earlier because he hurted Taani, now today whatever happened he was the only person in the gang who was genuinely worried for her and also the way he slapped his friend and took stand for the right made him softer for him. Before leaving Rey turned to Taani and said with a slight smile, "apna khayal rakhna", she too smiled at him and said "aap bhi" he nodded and left. He came outside and saw Arjun and Avni standing, he turned to Avni and said, "thank you jo aapne bola that was actually needed", she was amazed with his words, "I hope tum genuinely ab jo karo sahi karo" he just nodded and left from there. "Arjun aapko kya lagta hai yeh wakaye mein sudhar gaya"asked still looking at his retreating figure, "uski ankhon mein hamesha hi guilt dekhta hai unlike Swayam, today what he did I can say woh ladka utna galat nahi hai, standing against his friends it takes guts jo ki Swayam mein bilkul nahi hai" said Arjun with anger for Swayam, he was very disappointed from Swayam not once did he try to ask for Taani's health, he went behind his friends as Vicky was bleeding a lil because of the punch, he always choose his friends above her even when she's lying inside on a hospital bed, he couldn't stand that guy, he felt really bad for taani but he's there for her now, she doesn't need a brother like him. Avni understanding what he might be thinking kept her hand on his shoulder, they moved to home, after informing Adi and Taani. Adi and Taani were sitting in the comfortable silence,today's incident exhausted them, Adi was holding taani, he feeded her soup after showing lot of tantrums she finished it and she was falling in sleep due to the medicines. Adi asked Rithvik to be with Taani till then he would get Taani's things, Vikku said he'll ask anyone to get but he denied saying he'll get it no issues, Vikku was unsure but he let it go, stayed with Taani.
The gang boys except Rey and Swayam were sitting in a club, they were hurt and anger with all the happenings. Rey's behaviour hurt them the most, how could he hit his own friend and he said his ashamed of them,'did he really mean it', they were very disturbed. Swayam stayed at home, he wanted to meet Taani but Sharon said him he could go tomorrow and meet her, there are many people take care of her, here they have lot in their plate to deal with, one Vicky was injured, second the gang is disturbed, third they know they're in trouble and are tensed for the consequences, and lastly Rey is missing, after the hospital incident they didn't find him, Sharon tried calling him many times but he didn't pick, sent a message that he went to meet his parents, after that he's phone is off. Sharon felt something is wrong but she couldn't pin point it, so for now she let it go.
The boys coming out were standing, out of nowhere someone came masked up and dragged Amar with him, all the others chased him and they ended up themselves in a dark room, where Amar was tied to a chair, they immediately rescue him, they tried to open the door but it was locked, suddenly a flash of light fell on them,they closed their eyes and opened it again and the lights were on. As they open their eyes their eyes popped out, they saw a chair, and a man sitting on it like a king and he's none other than 'Aditya Solanki', the Hulk. Aditya had a cold expression giving the devilish vibes, he glared them sending shivers of fear. "Kya laga tha tum logo ko meri Taani ko hurt kar ke bach jaoge" making them sweat, they knew it's hard to get out of here safe. "Tum logo ko laga jaise pehle bhi Taani ke saath bura kiya or koi kuch nahi bola ab bhi same hoga kyu" looking at them said,even though he's talking calmly but his voice held the coldness. They were looking down, "Haan ya Nahi" asked loudly making them flinch,they nodded furiously. He stood up, "sorry to burst your bubble, but this time it's not happening or ainda aisa na ho isliye punishment is important" said smiling a lil more like a mocking, they looked at eachother with fear. He looked at his man, they nodded, he moved to the door, he turned to them "and yeh baat iss room se bahar nahi jani chahiye" making them gulp. He left, his men hit them making sure not to injure them bad, just a small lesson that would take weeks time to recover.
Adi went to Taani's home, he went to freshenup,he was standing in the shower closing his eyes, he had flashes of a 'girl wearing white dress and praying to God standing in temple, then her sitting on a bench and crying, her stole which fly away and he found it, her crossing the road and boom', he opened his eyes immediately came out, got dressed up and took Taani's things left to hospital. He entered the room to find vikku sleeping on the sofa, he put a blanket on him, came to Taani held her hand kissed it "I won't let you happen anything", pecking her forehead slept holding her hand.
Rey went to his parents home,Delhi. They were surprised with his sudden visit, usually he would inform before coming. He told them everything that happened, they knew a lil about Taani as he said earlier but didn't knew the later part, he told about the mistreatment to her by him and his friends, the fake breakup plan,her leaving,her engagement and finally he apologising to her. He's parents were disappointed earlier with the way he treated a innocent girl, they scolded him for that but were happy that he realised his mistakes and apologised. "Rey, pyaar mein insaan ko badal nahi jata, everyone has flaws, you can't keep changing them agar tum change karte rahe toh woh insaan hi nahi bachega jise tumne pyaar kiya tha" said his mom, "yeah mom you're right, lately but I have realised it" lowering his head, she hold his hand, "I'm proud of you Rey,galti har koi karta hai but accepting your mistake and trying to rectify is difficult and you're doing it" said his dad, "Haan beta dekhana ek din tumko Taani bhi maaf kardegi", he smiled at her even he hope for the same, he looked at his dad, "Dad I want to do MBA and also can I join office" making him shock, "Rey are you serious, you kept denying when I asked now what happened", "Dad I know I did deny, I was doing it only because I can put my full focus on dance but I was always interested in business jiske wajah se you kept telling me to do MBA, Dad I promise dance won't affect my studies"keeping his thoughts. "But Rey dance, studies and office, you can't put so much pressure on yourself, tum MBA karo with that keep doing dance after studies you can join business directly"his Dad said trying to be practical, "Dad that's the thing I don't want to join as 'Reyansh Singhania', as your son, I want to start from the scratch like a normal beginner without any favorism and about taking pressure, I'll go for MBA online so that I would attend office regularly and about dance, then whenever dance needs me I'm always there" said trying to convince. His parents were extremely proud that their son wants to make his own identity, they hugged him making him happy, this was the first time he could see his parents eyes held pride for him and for that happiness of his parents he could do anything.
Next day Taani was discharged, she was taken to Solanki's home for taking better care of her and also She,Sanu and Rishu would leave London in few days so everyone wanted to spend some family time. Arjun and Avni were taking care of her medicine, Vikku,Sanu and Rishu kept her entertained as Adi didn't let her get down of bed. The elder ladies were cooking healthy food and the elder men kept checking on her, so she could rest as much as possible.
The gang came to college, Girls were shocked to see bruises on boys, they asked but before that they could say anything VP called them in the cabin. VP Sir looked furious, "how could you guys do this", they looked a lil confused, "oh itni jaldi bhul gaye I'm talking about locking Taani in store room" clearing their confusion, "I always knew you people were mean to her, you're behaviour wasn't hidden to anyone but now what she left the college ab kya baki reh gaya", "we are sorry sir" said Vicky, "I'm not the one you should be apologising, go and say sorry to Taani, itna sab kuch hone ke baad bhi she didn't file a complaint against you people" said glaring them, "you have to know this, authorities tak baat pahuch gayi thi, they wanted to rusticate the boys but 'Arjun Solanki' convinced them saying it would destroy your career, jiski tum logo ko zara si bhi kadar nahi hai and authorities have sent complaint letter to your parents so deal with it" dropping bomb on them.

Precap : "my one call and all your events will be cancelled and tum logo ka career shuru hone se pehle hi katam" said smirking, the gang begged to not let it happen.
(Who's the girl in the flashback, did Adi had someone in past?)
