***********
Tia was feeling nervous!
She was never a girl who will get nervous no matter how bad the situation was!
Her mother was the person who influenced her life the most!
And she is ashamed of her previous self that was a replica of what her mother wanted her to be, for her own twisted desire of power!
And today she was nervous to officially meet Rehmaat again after six years.
The same Rehmaat whom she was jealous of, the same Rehmaat who she has grown to admire and think of as a Role model in last six years.
The same Rehmaat who almost choked her to death the last time they talked!
Or more like She under the influence of drugs and jealousy behaved!
She was so embarrassed to even remember her previous self, the same self that she knew Rehmaat hated!
But she was a changed person altogether!
The Love of her life now her husband and her little son changed her!
But still she felt nervous to meet Rehmaat who have seen her worst self only!
2 cute voices breaked her chain of thoughts!
"Mumma whom are we going to meet today?" Her little son Veer pouted and asked while Rehmat was playing with her rubber band.
"Well we are going to meet a really special person today. Trust me little munchkins you both will love to meet the person. Now come on let's go." She said while ruffling her son's hair.
Tia along with her son Veer and little Rehmat went towards the living room of the Royal wing.
Tia nervously glanced towards Manavi who tried to assure her through her eyes.
While Manavi placed her hand on Rehmaat's shoulder whose back was facing the trio.
Rehmaat took a sharp breath and turned.
As she turned the little duo's eyes widened!
Veer and Rehmat glanced at eachother before shrieking and screaming.
Both ran towards Rehmaat and stood exactly infront of her leaving a little distance.
To which Rehmaat bended and sat on her knees to match there height.
"Hey." She whispered softly while giving a small smile.
"Woah, Queen MM your hair are so pretty!" Little Rehmat said in Awe while eyeing Rehmaat's hair.
"Well aren't you a charming little girl!" Rehmaat giggled while softly poking the little girls cheeks.
"You look exactly same as the paintings!" Veer exclaimed while eyeing her face.
To which Rehmaat gave a confused smile.
But before she could ask anything the little ones pulled her hand and gestured her to sit on the sofa.
As Rehmaat sat down, Veer and little Rehmat made themselves comfortable on left and right sides of her respectively.
"Queen MM you saved my mumma from the bad guys by fighting them, Mumma and Baba says I will be able to fight the bad guys too if I will drink my milk and finish all my veggies as you do too." The little girl talked to her favorite Queen with enthusiasm.
As Rehmaat was her favourite Princess/Queen whose stories she listened and whose picture she saw in her Dadda's room.
"And you come to meet me as I was a good girl right. Dadda told me that you will come to meet me if I will be a good girl." She again asked to which Rehmaat was just looking at her with complete adoration! She just couldn't believe how cute the little munchkin was.
"And... And how is my little brother, Dadda said that you were taking care of him, he is missing me too right?" The little girl again asked but this time Rehmaat's face showed confusion and she looked towards her pushpa in the hope of answers but Manavi's eyes were filled with unshed tears and a pained expression as if she remembered something painful.
"He is fine dear and is missing you alot." Rehmaat replied immediately as she understood something grave happened.
"Now I will tell all my friends, I have already met my favourite Queen! You know my friend Shruti she went to Disneyland last month and met her favourite Princess Cinderella. And she was teasing me that I have never met my favourite Queen MM. But now I will tell her that I met my Queen MM." The little girl excitingly got hold of her hand and kept talking to her.
Asking Questions and sometimes answering her's.
"Princess your Dadda is calling you to his Room go and meet him. He is going to show you the gifts that he brought for you!" Rehmaat's face turned cold as she heard the voice.
"Shakti Baba but I have to talk to Queen MM." Little Rehmat pouted as her father Quickly bended on her level and said.
"Princess your Queen MM is not going anywhere you can talk to her later but your Dadda has brought those special gifts for his little tigress don't you want to see them?" Shakti cooed softly.
" Ok Baba I will go and meet Dadda, Queen MM don't go anywhere okay I will be back soon." The little girl said and ran towards her Dadda's room while Veer followed her.
" Pushpa is there anything that you haven't told me little girl was talking about her brother who was that?" As soon as the kids were out of the room Rehmaat asked her friend.
To which Manvi sighed and said
"As I already know that I was pregnant Viraj's betrayal took a toll on me. I was battling with my mental health and was suffering from mild depression and it wasn't healthy for my baby.
As days went by I got to know that I was actually pregnant with twins but my poor mental health became dangerous for my babies and I went into early labour.
I was 7 and a half months pregnant when I had to deliver my babies.
Rehmat survived but my little baby boy couldn't. He died when he was 20 days old, and his death completely shooked me. I became a living breathing corpse.
I wasn't even aware about my surrounding.
And Ma was always busy taking care of me, it was Dada who took Rehmat's responsibility.
Dadi Sa and Baba helped him but the main role was his own.
There were nannies too but he wanted to raise his niece with love and affection.
He used to spoon feed her in the starting, Rehmat used to sleep in his room he took care of her as his own daughter trust me I have never witness this side of his which I got to know after Rehmat was born.
Even now Rehmat is the closest to him.
But there was someone else too who slowly became Rehmat's second mother.
Tia, when she and her mother got to know about viraj's betrayal. Tia was devastated, she slowly became a better person and then got married and had Veer a year after I had Rehmat.
Until then even I was able to recover completely because of Ma, my family and specially specially Shakti who took care of me.
He Actually made me realised what true love is. And I got married to him 2 years after I had Rehmat." Manavi finished while looking towards Rehmaat with a tear in her eyes while Shakti had arms around his beautiful wife to provide her with comfort.
" I Still can't believe it. I thought that I have suffered a great pain but what I didn't realise was that I was actually the one who have suffer the least pain.
You were betrayed by your fiance of 3 years the father of your.... No I mean the sperm donor of your child. He was never Rehmat's father, someone doesn't become father just because the child shares the DNA with his. And than you had to live with a constant guilt that you hadn't trust your friend even though it was not even in your hands.
On top of that you lost your child Pushpa. You know Rehmat just said that I was strong,her Queen MM is strong, but what she doesn't know is that her mother is even stronger." Rehmaat said while shaking her head.
"But what about the child being with me and how does Rehmat even know that she had a brother?" She asked confused.
"I never wanted my daughter to forget that she had a brother too so from the time she could speak,she could walk and she could understand things I told her that she had a brother too.
A Brother whom she couldn't meet. And I told her that he is with Mahadev now. But she used to ask that if there was someone from the family taking care of him. So I just used to tell her that Dada Hukum was there for him Mukta Dadi was there for him and even her Queen MM sometimes visits him." Manavi said while chuckling at last!
"Mukta Aunty passed away too?" Rehmaat asked astonished!
To which Tia replied
"Mom was diagnosed with breast cancer 3 years ago and she couldn't survive,it was last stage." While having a pained expression on her face.
Rehmaat slowly took steps towards Tia and hugged her.
"She is in better place Lia!" She joked at the end.
She knew how irritated Tia used to get when Rehmaat deliberately used to call her wrong name.
To which Tia laughed little!
"Call me whatever you want now I don't get irritated that easily. You know dealing with the cranky 4 year old has made me patience level better." She joked in return too.
"Tia, Manvi can you guys please go out I have to talk to my sister!" Shakti interrupted suddenly.
"Tia, Pushpa yes do go out please I have to talk to my brother too!" Rehmaat said in a sarcastic tone while looking towards Shakti with an Angry face.
To which Manavi and Tia went out.
Leaving an Angry Rehmaat and a nervous Shakti alone.
"Okay so tell me, give me the explanation!" Rehmaat crossed her arms.
But before Shakti could say anything Rehmaat snapped!
"Save it I don't want your bloody explanation. Your explanation can't give my moments back!
I understand what have you did that day was justified. You were just trying to protect me while obeying his orders.
And I understand that completely fine maybe that 18 year old immature Rehmaat wouldn't have, but this Rehmaat does understand it!
And I am not even angry with you for that I am angry that why didn't you contact me earlier was that because I was really just some girl you just tied a Rakhi on your wrist! Who didn't hold any significance in your life that you didn't even contacted me for 6 damn years!" Rehmaat bursted while Shakti Quickly said.
"No ofcourse not you are really important you are my family you are my sister. I am Sorry I am really very sorry please forgive me?" He took a step towards Rehmaat but she took a step back.
"Sorry so you are sorry now! Okay so tell your sorry to give me those 6 years back to give us our 6 years back, tell your sorry to let me see your wedding!
I am your sister Veere and I wasn't even able to see your wedding hell I didn't even you that you got married.
I wasn't able to do all the fun rituals! I wasn't able to invite my friends to my brother's wedding! I can understand from Pushpa's side that she was not mentally that strong to invite me she was scared that if I said something that will break her already repairing heart!
But you I expected better from you I was your almost only family at the time Veere! How dare you?" She took dangerous steps towards him and almost grabbed Shakti's hair. But Shakti dogged her off.
"Now get married again come'on get married again." She whisper screamed frustrated! And she shooked his shoulders!
While taking heavy breaths she suddenly bursted into tears and said
"You will get married again Veere! This year whenever your anniversary comes, you will have to get married again and this time I will do all the fun!" She sniffled cutely.
"I was already planning that! I and Manavi got married legally in court and had a small ceremony with only family members! As we both were waiting for you! Now we will get married in a grand way as everything is going to get perfectly fine because you are back!" He said while hugging Rehmaat!
"Why didn't you and Pushpa contacted me earlier?" She whined while clutching his Shirt.
"Because of his promise! When he selflessly gave the stupid promise we all decided to follow the promise too. To redeem ourselves." Shakti muttered while stroking her hair softly.
"It's all his fault!" Rehmaat said in her mind with a bitter tone!
"But now I have my sister back. Right my idiot?" Shakti tease to which Rehmaat gave a cheeky smile and said.
"Yes Veere!"
