Out Of Sight, Always In Mind!

Chapter 40

Keya and Krish went to the airport to pick up Simran's parents after office.

"Welcome to India Uncle! Welcome back Aunty," Keya exclaimed as she hugged them.

"Hope you had a good flight," Krish said.

"Yes my child," Simran's dad said.

"Baby I had talked to your father about the apartments in the colony," Simran's mother told them when they sat in the car.

Keya replied, "Yes aunty but Vansh's mum has strictly told us to take you guys there. She wants you to stay with them."

"That's really sweet of her but we don't want to be of any trouble to them," she said.

"Don't worry Aunty. The Rathods are good people. Atleast meet them once before deciding anything," Krish assured them.

"Alright if you kids say so but it would be better if we stayed at our own place," Dad said.

"Here we are," Keya said as they entered the gates of the mansion.

"This was your house right?," she was asked.

"It still is. The Rathods are staying here since theirs is under construction," Keya replied.

As they got down from the car, a driver and few servants immediately approached to carry the luggage and park the car.

"Come on in," Keya said as she led them inside.

Gauri and Reema were sitting in the living room when they arrived.

"Welcome!," Reema got up and went to embrace Simran's mother.

"I wish I had known the reality at Simran's baby shower. I don't know how to thank you both for forgiving us," Reema held her hands together infront of Simran's parents.

Simran's mother caught her hands in hers and said, "Mrs. Rathod you don't need to apologise for anything. You didn't know about the baby. Simran tells me on the phone how much love you have been showering upon her. I should be thankful to you for accepting my child."

"She is a wonderful woman. You've raised her so right," Reema said.

"The talks can wait," Gauri interrupted, "Please come in and make yourself at home."

Reema and Gauri told them about the preparations for the next day. How had they planned a small naming ceremony for the baby and the welcome home party.

Aanya, Varun, Vivan and Vansh walked down the stairs together.

"Here are my boys," Reema said.

Vansh immediately went up to the parents and touched their feet.

"I'm So..," before Vansh could apologise for his deeds, Simran's father kept a finger on his lips and said, "What's done is done. What's now is all that matters. Your place isn't at our feet but here in our heart."

Saying so, he hugged Vansh and showed his acceptance. Their daughter used to talk to them daily and tell them about everyone.

"Thank you Uncle!," he said.

"Call me Dad," he corrected him.

Everyone in the room felt extremely happy for Vansh.

Varun and Vivan introduced themselves and so did Aanya.

"Simran talks the most about you two," her mother told Varun and Aanya.

"I'll take your leave guys," Vansh told everyone, "Tanya has been in the hospital all day today."
