All of them came to Tanya's room. They sat there comfortably and the discussion continued.
"I still can't believe how easily Reeva  lied to us about Tanya  coming with us on the bike," Jordan  asserted.

"Just stop it now, are you two going to talk about the same things again and again, tell me something else," Tanya  interrupted, getting up from the bed.

"Oh yes Tanya , the receptionist told us that the pregnant lady, whom you helped before, gave birth to a girl and they both are healthy, and they have also conveyed special thanks to you," Illahi  informed Tanya  and chuckled.

"Really, wow this is good news," Tanya  exclaimed.

Asher and his mom went to reeva's room and ring the bell. Hearing the bell Anicka  opened the door and became nervous seeing them there.

"Anicka , go to my room for a while," mrs. Mehta  ordered handing her the room keys.

Anicka  took the key and left quietly with her head down.
After Anika  left, Mrs. Mehta  and Jahaan  went inside the room.

Seeing them Reeva  and her mother, both became nervous. However, reeva's mom was a smart woman and so she immediately greeted pretending to be surprised.

"Oh! What a pleasant surprise! Mrs. Mehta , how come you are here? I heard Tanya  was found. I am so glad she is fine, poor girl," She exclaimed.

"I am here to talk to Reeva . I don't need to ask anything right now, Reeva , I need an explanation," Mrs.Mehta  announced ignoring Reeva's mother's fake pleasantries.

"Umm... ahh...Mrs. Mehta , It was just a prank," reeva  stammered and replied casually. Seeing Reeva  respond casually even in this situation, Jahaan  got angry.

"Prank?! Do you have any idea what could have happened if she had anxiety issues or any such problem? This is a new place for her, what if someone took advantage of her and something bad happened to her? Do you have any idea what could have gone wrong?" Jahaan  yelled.

Reeva and her mom were both were surprised to see jaahaan  in this state. It was the first time they had ever heard Jahaan  shout.

"You are lucky that it was Tanya  who forgave you without any explanations, otherwise if it were someone else, she could have complained to the cops," Mrs. Mehta  spoke.

"You all need to calm down now. Reeva  is ready to apologize to Tanya ", said reeva 's mom trying to handle the situation.

Hearing this, Reeva  was shocked and stared at her mom. But before she could say anything, Reeva 's mom interjected, "Now please, Mrs.Mehta  and Jahaan , you both must go and rest, today's been a very exhausting day for everyone."

Hearing this and satisfied with the upcoming apology, Mrs. Mehta  and Jahaan  left the room.
As soon as they left Reeva  looked at her mother infuriated.

"Mom! Why did  you say this, I will not apologize to that Tanya . Who is she and why should I apologize to her?" Reeva  shouted, getting agitated.

"It's because of you that things have gone so bad. So to fix it back, you need to apologize. But don't you worry, I will tell you how to get Tanya  out of Jahaan's life for good. Just think of this apology as the first step toward the goal," assured reeva 's mom.

Jahaan and Mrs. Mehta  came out of the room, and Jahaan  took the elevator to go to his floor. Suddenly, Mrs. Mehta  spoke from behind,
" Jahaan ! DO YOU LIKE TANYA ?" Jahaan froze after hearing this.
"Mom what are you saying, there is nothing like that," Jahaan  answered without looking back. There was a hesitation in Jahaan 's voice.
