Hey guys! Firstly, a big apology from me to all of you readers! I know I've been so terrible at updating on time, but until mid-December, I was super busy with exams. After that period, I kept trying to write the part but for some reason, I had lost my flow.
So this part is SUPER long to try and make up for that delay. I hope you guys enjoy it and forgive me as well :)
Enjoyy <3

"Don't do this to me Randhir. Don't give me hope," I said dejectedly.
"Maybe I want to?" he said coolly before leaving me there, breathless.

I followed behind him, still grasping the reality of his words. He held the main door for me and we were soon walking towards Vidushi's apartment.
The silence, this time, felt comfortable, though it really just ended up encouraging my questions to surface, loud and clear.
What did he mean by that? Did he really see a future for us? Together? The last thought made me smile. There couldn't be anything else that could make me happier, or so I thought at that moment any way. Only to be proven wrong at the very next instance though.
The sight in front of me melted my heart: Randhir patting Riaan's head, their hands clasped together as he led Riaan towards me.
"Look who's here!!" he chimed. "Mommy!!" Riaan exclaimed and hugged me. I lifted him up in my arms, "How are you baby??"

He flashed a semi-toothless grin to his mother. I turned around and smiled. Farzi as a mother was everything I had imagined and beyond.
Walking into the kitchen, I could feel myself grabbing the attention of the couple of the hour. Vidushi raised her eyebrow at first, but as Sanyukta walked into the kitchen behind me, she smirked. I initially bit my tongue to wipe that smile off my face, but then I gave up. Why did I have to pretend I was unhappy? In fact, I hadn't felt this much in sync with my feelings in years, nor with myself either. An arm snaked around my waist, and even though I knew it wasn't her, just an image of that crossing my mind brought with it a new surge of ecstasy through my body.
"What's up Shekhawat? Someone has been smiling quite the bit tonight," Vidushi smirked. I pulled her into a headlock, "Why bother asking when you already know the answer?" I rolled my eyes, not without adding another smile though.

Parth offered to drop Riaan and myself home again, and I of course accepted. But before leaving, I went to see Randhir who was standing in the balcony. "Randhir..." I trailed off, not knowing whether it was appropriate to ask him or not.
"Yes?" he looked at me as I stopped beside him.
"Are we okay now? I mean, not like together, but like..." I was incessantly rambling on, but he smiled, "I think we are!"
I smiled in response, mainly to myself though. I turned around to look at Riaan, who was fast asleep on the couch, and then looked back at Randhir, recalling just how well they had gotten along earlier on. The recollection sparked a warm feeling to engulf my body, involuntarily leading me to smile.
"I really missed you Farzi," he spoke with his eyes fixated on the view. "Even when things were going well, I never really felt happy. It always felt as if a piece of me was missing. As if it was this gaping hole that was just getting larger with every passing moment!"
