AUTHOR'S POV:

Sufian distributed sweets to the entire hospital before taking his son and daughter in law with their babies to the Khan House with dhol and bands. The whole house was decorated with lights and flowers making people think if the other Khan siblings were getting married.

A brightly smiling Sehmina ran in the entire house instructing for each and every thing to be perfect. She personally called each and every elder Sehgal to invite them. Being a parent who was away from her child for nearly a month connected to their pain too along with understanding Sharika's side.

She welcomed them whole heartedly making them home while Rehnuma and Sahid designed and decorated a room for their niece and nephew. It was no less than a celebration of a festival why wouldn't it be the ruler was coming with his blessing and heirs.

The cars parked as they stepped outside standing beside each other with their little ones in their arms. Rehzaan held his daughter in his one hand securingly and held his Jaan's hand in the other while Sharika held their boy glancing towards each other they took a step forward.

Both the families welcomed them with Vidit and Vidyut embracing Rehzaan and seriously apologizing for their deeds but the damage was already done though she didn't held grudges against them she didn't even cared "Beta tumlog yahi ruko main pehle tumhari nazar utar deti hu!" Sehmina said as she took some red chillies rotating over their heads before and throwing them in burning fire.

"Aajao!" she said softly wiping the corner of her eyes. He tightened his hold on her hand while she caressed her thumb over his palm as they took a step inside their house. Sahid along with Raghav and Raman bursted party popper in their welcome.

Her eyes turned teary looking at all the family love she was getting knowing very well her children will not suffer the same fate she did "Bhabhi jaan aap to rone lagi!" Sahid teased standing infront of her she shook her head in denial "Main hu na.....why do you stress so much huh?? I know I am not as good as your brothers but itna bura bhi to nahi hu na!!" he said dramatically embracing her in a side hug she giggled at his antics.

"Did you think of some names for them or just like Riks inhe bhi baby hi kehne ka iraada hai?" Ranveejay teased with a smirk their faces flushed while other chuckled "Socha hai na!!" Rehzaan said diverting the topic "RIMAYA and SHAYAAN!!" Sharika beaned looking at their babies.

The families took the name consecutively to set it on their tongues. Rehnuma and Sehmina took the babies from them making them sit and kept the babies in Mohini and Reshma's lap "Nani, Nanu hai aap milenge nahi inse!" Sehmina said in a comforting manner they nodded awkwardly taking them in their arms.
Vidyut and Vidit joined their wives to spend some time with them.

"They are really nice and creative but what do they mean?" Ridhi asked after a brief pause "Rimaya means loving care of god and Shayaan means intelligent and courteous!" Rezhaan replied "Also Rimaya is similar to Rehzaan just like her looks and nature thats exact copy of him and Shayaan is similar to Sharika just like his nature and looks that matches with mine!" Sharika gleed.

They talked for sometimes with her passing glances to her parents and Chachu-Chachi in between "Finally I too have cousins....but Zaan uncle you made me wait for so long!" Veer pouted making them chuckle "Veer you know patience's fruit is tastier!" Mihir replied making him frown.

"Now you should rest come!" Rehzaan said taking her with him towards their room "Babies?" she whispered softly "I will bring them really soon let them too enjoy a little bit!" he passed her a smile which she reciprocated.

"Sharika!" her father called stopping on her steps she turned he opened his mouth to say something but she cut him in between "I am too happy to spoil my mood and honestly I don't want any sorry or explanations because I don't need them to have a contended life. I am happy with what I have and in haste of having more I do not intend to losse what I haven also our babies are your grandkids and I will not keep them away. You can meet them whenever you want I won't even stop them from going to Sehgal Mansion and as much I know my husband even after all this he will take them their happily and I am okay with it!!" she said in a calm and composed tone and turned back.

"What about you?" Mohini asked "When it never mattered in all these years how does it matter know.......I am sorry but I can't play this happy daughter's drama anymore! I will be there in times of need or if ever something wrong happened but don't expect me to be there in your happiness or mine. I am contended with my real world and have no wish to get involved in the fake one again......at least till it is not about someone I love!" turning she went towards her room.

"She is just angry will be okay in sometime!" Rehzaan said to less the tension but in his heart he too knew how serious she was about this because it was not the anger but the loneliness of her childhood that she feared would enter their childrens childhood too if she kept on holding her past.

He entered the room sometime later with Rimaya and Shayaan in his arms she was sitting on the bed with her back resting on the headrest sleeping as he walked closer he saw the broken frame in her hands with a old picture of the Sehgal family she was just 3 or 4 years old.

His heart ached looking at her. Slowly keeping the frame away he kept Rimaya and Shayaan in her lap who giggled as soon as came in contact with their mother. Her sleep disappeared looking at her babies in her lap and she realized that she had dozed off with the frame in her lap and he is replacing the old painful and lonely memories with new and happy ones.

"Come hear!" making him sit beside her she kept her head on his shoulder as he wrapped his hand around her waist looking at the babies and then at him she whispered "The family I always craved of!" "The love that I never believed on!" he whispered back looking at her and the babies.

Shifting a little closer they looked at each other for a brief second before she blinked in consent and he kept his lips on hers slowly and gradually soveruing the moment without the hurry of world just them and their love. The kiss that was soft and slow filled with patience and contentedness just like their story.........THE STORY OF THEIR LOVE, HER FEARS AND HIS DELUSION!!!

Heyy Reader!!!!

With this we come to an end with His Delusion

They got a happy ever after....they fixed each other and became best version for each other but some wounds don't get filled just like her family's.........it's not possible to forget and forgive always but does that makes us cold-hearted???

A very big thank you to everyone who became a part of this journey and invested their time. It won't mind if I continue to write......this book and this journey will be the most precious one.

P.S - It was not just a story came out of my minds but something more than that it!
