Chapter 18

Chapter 18

Mira and Aastha took Riya to Manik's room as instructed by the elders.

Seeing the room decorated for their first night, Riya got slightly nervous.

Aastha heard Ronak's cry and  she went downstairs to Ronak, leaving Mira alone with Riya.

“ Riya!!”, Mira said, sitting near her.

“ I am scared”, Riya said nervously.

“If you feel uncomfortable, tell Manik. I am sure he will respect your feelings”, Mira said,giving her a smile.

After a few minutes,Mira went out and left with other members of Raghuvanshi family to their house.

Manik entered the room and saw Riya sitting on the bed, waiting for him.

“ His wife ... .His Riya”, he whispered and made his way towards Riya.

He sat near her and placed his hand on her,“Riya!!”

“ Ji”, Riya whispered.

“ You are looking beautiful”, he said, looking at her face, whose eyes were lowered due to shyness.

Her cheeks turned red hearing his compliment.

“ Thank you”, she whispered softly.

“ Won’t you let me see your mehendi ( henna)?”, he asked her.

She moved her hands and showed him her henna filled palms.

“ Is my name written in your hands?”, he asked her, caressing her mehendi filled hands.

She felt shiver running through her body, when she felt his fingers caressing her henna filled palm.

“ Yes”, she replied.

“ Where is it?”He asked her, wanting to see his name.

“ You need to find it yourself”, she whispered.

“ What if I find it?? Will you give me a gift?”, he asked her, raising his eyebrows.

“ I didn't buy any gift”, she said sadly.

“It's okay. You already have the gift I want”, he said to her.

“ I have?”, she asked him, feeling confused.

“ Yes!! And get ready to give it to me. Because I have found it. Here….”, he said, caressing a particular area, where his name was hidden in henna design.

“You found it so easily”, Riya complained.

“ Now it's time for my gift”, he said to her.

“ What do you want?”, she asked.

“ Your friendship, your truth. I want to become your best friend with whom you can share all your worries and with whom you don't hesitate to say anything. Every relationship is based upon love, friendship and trust. I want to start this new relationship with friends. So will you become my best friend?”he asked her with a smile, extending his hand for a hand shake.

Her eyes got wet hearing him. She feels blessed to have him as her husband.

“ I will”, She said, shaking his hand, with wet eyes.

“ I think we should change and sleep. I am feeling so tired”, he said, yawning and stretching lazily.

“ Come!! I will help you with your hair and jewellery”, Manik said.

Soon both of them changed their clothes and went to sleep.

Next day,

Mira was coming downstairs when she collided with something which felt like a wall.

“ Wall?? In the middle of the corridor?”Mira thought and took a step back to look at the object.

Her eyes widened seeing Adhiraj in front of her. She noticed something in his eyes for a second before his eyes turned blank.

“ Sorry”, she mumbled, tucking her hair behind her ear.

He didn't say anything and went from there.

She shrugged her shoulders and went downstairs, where everyone was sitting in the hall.

“ Tara Bhabhi,My company has a new project and I was thinking of taking you as the main model. Your last project was famous which has impressed everyone”,Kiara said to her.

“ Actually, I am taking a break for one year before continuing my modelling career”, Mira said nervously.

“ Why suddenly?”Kiara asked her, feeling shocked. Not only Kiara but everyone else were also shocked hearing this, since they know how much modelling matters to Tara.

“ Just feel like it”, Mira said, shrugging her shoulders.

“ Chachi .. Bua….. please help us in our school project”, Aarav said, running towards them with his brothers.

“ I am sorry baby, but I need to go to work”, Kiara said to them.

“Can I help you after some time? Actually I need to take Ronak to the hospital. He is having a fever”, Aastha said, feeling sad.

“ It's okay”, Ahaan said with a sad face.

“ I am free. If you guys want,I can help”, Mira said, offering her help.

Kavya and Nandini, who were about to offer their help,keep their mouths shut after hearing Mira.

“ Yes, please”, Aarav asked.

“ Let's go to the room”, Mira said and four of them left towards the triplets room.

Shweta, Nandini and Kavya were happy seeing the shift in Tara's behaviour towards her children.

All of this was heard by Adhiraj also, who had come downstairs to go to his office.

He saw Mira going with triplets towards their room. He was looking at them, thinking something deep.

Mira went to the triplets' room and helped them with the project. They spent good time together  working, joking and laughing.

In the night,

Tonight triplets decided to sleep with their father. They were lying in the bed with Adhiraj and telling him what they did today.

“ She was very funny today. We enjoyed a lot in her presence”, Aarav told his father.

“ Dad!!”, Ahaan said, looking at his father.

“ hmm”, Adhiraj said, asking him to continue.

“ Don't you think she has changed suddenly. In the past, she never cared about us, never spent time with us but now, she is helping us with projects. Moreover that night, she told us a story to make us sleep”, Ahaan said to him.

“ Yes!! She has changed a lot”, Adhiraj replied.

“ We like her now. She is so nice to us and does things for us which our friends mother's do for them.”, Ayush said to him.

Adhiraj was listening to them attentively.

“ We were thinking…..can we…”, Aarav tried to say something,but he was feeling hesitant because he didn't want to hurt his dad.

“ You three want to call her Mom, right?”, Adhiraj asked them, raising his left eyebrow.

“ How do you know?”Ayush asked him.

“ I am your father and I know what you guys think and want in your life “, Adhiraj said, looking at them.

“ So can we ?”, Ayush asked, nervously.

“ If you guys want to call her Mom, I have no objection”, Adhiraj said to them.

“ Thank you,Dad”, They said and hugged him tightly.

He returned their hug with a smile on his lips.
