Chapter 5

A few days later, Vihaan and Meher were coming from a meeting and were on their way to the office when Vihaan's phone rang. It was Kiaan.

"Haan bol. What? Okk mai jaata hu."

(Yes tell me. Ok I am going.)

Vihaan asked the driver to turn towards the hospital.

"Kya hua?"

(What happened?)

Meher asked worried when she heard him.

"I told you that bhabhi is pregnant right? Kiaan just told me ki she went into labour. Vir aur taiji gaye hai. Baaki sab kisi relative ki shaadi mai gaye huye hai isliye mujhe jaana padega."

(Vir and tauji have gone with her. Rest everyone is in a wedding so I have to go.)

Meher smiled widely.

"Wow! Congratulations! Aap chache banne wale hai dobara."

(You are going to be chachu again.)

She giggled and he chuckled and mumbled a thank you.

"Aap mujhe yahi drop kr dijiye mai yaha se chali jaaungi."

(You drop me here i'll go myself.)

"No way. Tum mere saath chal rhi ho."

(You are coming with me.)

"Vihaan. Mai waha kya karungi. Its your family time."

(What will i do there.)

"You are family."

Meher looked at him and he smiled.

"Mere sab dost meri family hai."

(All my friends are my family.)

Meher smiled and kept quite knowing that she could not convince him otherwise.

They reached the hospital and Vihaan held her hand and took her where Rashi, Vaibhav, Pranati, Sahil and Viraj were standing. Or more like Rashi and the rest were standing and Viraj was pacing around.

Vihaan moved towards them still holding Meher's hand in his.

Pranati and Rashi saw them and they smiled looking at each other.

They stood in front of them and Meher joined her hands in greeting. Rashi and Pranati blessed her and Vihaan said.

"Mumma ye-"

"Meher hai na."

(She is Meher.)

Vihaan smiled sheepishly and nodded. Pranati smiled at Meher and said.

"Office se aate pura time tumhare baare mai baate karta hai."

(He keeps on talking about you after coming from office.)

Meher smiled and lowered her head not knowing how to react.

"Chalo atleast dost toh apne jaise nhi banaye. Shaitaan."

(Atleast you didn't make friends like you. Naughty.)

Rashi said making Pranati chuckle and Vihaan whined.

"Taiji yaar!"

Meher giggled and Vihaan smiled looking at her.

They heard the crying of a baby. Viraj stopped pacing around. His eyes teared up hearing the cry.

Vaibhav consoled him and everyone had smiles on their faces. A few minutes later they heard another cry.

The doctor came out and informed them that it was twin baby girls.

Viraj went to see Anika while Rashi and Pranati went with the doctor for the babies' checkup.

Some time later Rashi came with one baby and handed her over to Meher.

"Mai ek baar doctor se mil kr aati hu about discharge formalities."

(I am going to meet the doctor.)

She said and left from there. Meher looked at the baby girl who looked at her curiously. She yawned and slept making Meher aww.

She felt someone hold the baby from behind and she looked back.

Vihaan stood there smiling and looking at the baby.

Meher looked at him and their eyes met. They looked at each other with so many emotions in their eyes.

Their moment was disturbed by Pranati who came with the second baby and handed her to Vihaan.

They took the babies to Anika and went out leaving the couple in privacy.

**************************************

A few days later the naming ceremony was kept and Vihaan had invited Meher. 

He introduced her with everyone and his family was really happy meeting her. 

After the ceremony Vihaan was teased mercilessly by his siblings and he finally ended up confessing his feelings for her.

"Oh my God! When are you proposing?"

This was the collective reaction he got. 

"Abhi nhi. I don't know what she feels for me. Abhi i am taking baby steps."

(Not now.)

He said making them whine. All of them had a great bond with their bhabhis and were really excited for another one. 

**************************************

It had been almost six months since Meher had been working with Vihaan. He was as usual leaving her home. He was driving the car because they have been working overtime today and his driver had already left.

They were talking about school and college memories and laughing when he suddenly smiled naughtily and said giving her a brief look.

"Waise mujhe pata chala that you love me."

(I got to know you love me.)

Meher looked at him shocked.

'How did he know?'

She too smiled mischieviously when she saw his naughty smile.

"Haww! Kaun phela raha hai ye afwaaye?"

(Who is spreading these rumours?)

She said and both of them laughed remembering the last time he asked this. Meher's smiled sadly thinking about it. That was the last happy memory she had. 

After that her father had that accident and everything started going downhill.

They reached her home and Vihaan smiled at her. But this time she didn't leave the car instead she looked at him and said.

"Andar aaiye na. Mumma would love to meet you."

(Come inside.)

"Iss waqt. I mean- won't she mind?"

(Right now.)

Meher shook her head smiling and said.

"Bilkul nhi. Wo mujhse bhut time se keh rhi thi to invite you home."

(Not at all. She had been asking me since so many days to invite you home.)

"Aur uncle-what about him?"

(And uncle-)

Meher's smile fell but she recovered quickly.

"Wo so gaye honge ab tak."

(He would have slept till now.)

Vihaan smiled and nodded and they both got out of the car.

Meher's mother opened the door and smiled seeing Meher with Vihaan. She knew about Vihaan and was also aware about Meher's feelings for him. She noticed how her eyes sparkled everytime she talked about him.

Vihaan greeted him and she welcomed him in. They had a formal conversation and then she excused herself leaving the two alone.

"Kuch lenge aap? Chai? Coffee?"

(Will you have something?)

Vihaan looked at her for a while and then said.

"I'll have coffee."

She nodded and started to go to the kitchen but he held her hand.

"Mai bana kr pilaaunga. Vihaan special."

(I'll make it.)

He said making her raise her eyebrows at her. She shrugged and showed him the way and they chuckled.

She gave him the things he required and made herself comfortable on the slab making him smile. 

He loved how she was slowly becoming more comfortable near him.

He started making the coffee while she started admiring him. He looked at her and she quickly looked down staring at the floor and didn't dare look up again.

She saw a coffee mug in front of her and looked up. He stood there smiling with two coffee cups.

She took one from his hand and he bowed dramatically making her laugh. He stood in front of her and urged her to take a sip.

She took one and the creamy and delicious flavour of coffee burst on her tongue and she sighed in pleasure.

"Wow! This is actually the best coffee i have had."

"Thank you. I am glad you liked it."
