Recap: Vaibhav's change - Anjali stubborn - Vaigha at orphanage - Meeting Arun - Vaigha faints.

Vaigha's PoV
It feels a weight above my eyes causing me to blink it continously. I tried harder and this time I could open my eyes. I looked around and saw Ananya talking with a lady. I wondered seeing that lady in a white coat. Doctor?? What happened to me? Suddenly I remembered everything and Arun's face scared me again. My vision starts again blur.

"I think she is not taking food properly. She is very weak. Make sure that she is eating at right time. And give this vitamin tablets accordingly." Doctor said giving a slip to Ananya.

"Ok doctor. I will take care of her hereafter. I won't allow her to skip meals" Ananya assured to the doctor.

What is she up to? Would she kill me making me eat too much? Do she knows that I am already gonna be killed with my brother's hands?

Doctor left and Ananya came to me taking a seat beside me. She smiled caressing my hairs.
"How are you feeling now?" She asked with care.
"I am alright."I said.
"Forget about going out alone next time. You have no idea how much I scared seeing you unconscious."she said with expressions.
"Sorry. I was just tensed. That's why fainted. Now its all ok."I said expecting her to enquire about the reason of my tension. But how can I tell? But she surprised me with her next question.

"Tension?? Tension about how to raise your kid??? Isn't it?"she asked making me stun.
"Kid???"I asked loudly.
"Yes dear. You are going to be a mother soon. You are pregnant with my niece/nephew."she shouted at the top of her voice. Her excitement was visible in her face.

But it was more than a surprise for me. Me... pregnant?? Why didn't I know earlier? Who had the time to notice all this?

I placed my palm on my belly. Suddenly I felt something special with the touch. My baby.. Vaibhav, our baby... I smiled for the first time in the last three weeks. I hadn't experience such an happiness ever in my life. I caressed my belly again and again. Each time I felt some new feelings. I imagined my baby calling me mamma and I let out a huge chuckle. Really it will be nice having a little one in my life. Imagine Vaibhav holding our baby in his arms, kissing both of us together. Suddenly my happiness turned into sorrow. Vaibhav, how badly I wants you now with me. Did you hear Ananya's words? Our baby is going to come. You should have now with me to share the biggest happiness of our life. What would be his reaction when he came to know about this? It would be a surprise for him sure. Did we ever think about having a baby till now? Where was the time for all this? We were busy thinking about starting our life. And now god has gifted us a baby to keep us together. I can't wait to let him know this news.
Happiness paved way for tears and I hugged Ananya tightly.

"Relax madam. You cant hug me like this. You should have hug your husband now. Let me inform uncle and aunty and the whole orphanage. Believe me. They will be very happy hearing this big news" she was about to go when I stopped her.

"Ananya. Pls don't tell this to anyone. Even to uncle and aunty"I requested.
"Why?"she asked confusingly.
"It should be Vaibhav who have to know this news first. I need to tell him first. So pls."I said imagining how he will react hearing it. He may first hug me, then my favourite kiss on my forehead. And then he may pick me in his arms. And what else? I giggled.

"Hello madam. There is still time remaining for dreaming. Now concentrate on your baby."she snapped her fingers bringing me back to the world.
I blushed.
"Ok I won't tell this to anyone till the baby's father know the news. But you should have to take care of yourself Vaigha. For your baby atleast."she said with concern.

I smiled and nodded.
"Let me bring juice for you."she left and I again placed my hand on my belly. I felt unknown feelings. I can't hold my excitement anymore.

"Baby, your pappa will be the most happiest person hearing about your arrival. You know what. You are the most luckiest baby. You got an amazing loving pappa. He is the best. Dont be sad. I will show you your pappa asap."
I closed my eyes feeling him near me.
A smile crept on my lips.

Next Day Morning
Sanjana was walking inside her room from one end to another. She was thinking something deeply. It's been three weeks she is staying away from Vaigha. It's true that she is equally angry with her like others. But she can't stay away from Vaigha anymore. She just want to see her atleast. So she decided it. She came outside the room and watched the surroundings. She made sure that no one is there. If anyone comes to know about her plan, she is sure that she can't go and meet Vaigha. So she decided to keep it secret. She took a piece of paper and wrote.

I will come back soon. I am going to meet Vaigha. Dont worry for me.

She took out her wallet and entered outside without getting caught by anyone. She was happy thinking that she can meet her soon. Her excitement had no limits.
*****
Vaigha dialled Vaibhav's number nervously. A smile was creeping on her lips. Finally she is going to hear her husband's voice after a long time. She is sure that Vaibhav will be surprised seeing her call unexpectedly. Exactly what he did. He couldn't believe seeing the caller ID. He immediately attended the call.

"Vaigha.....are you ok? What... happened?? Any problem there??" He was equally happy and worried. It was difficult for him to speak in this condition. He breathed heavily.

On the other side Vaigha don't know what to say. His voice made tears in her eyes and she became speechless.

"Vaigha..are you there? Or is it someone else talking from her phone?"he asked doubted.

"Vai...bhav..."she managed to speak finally.
It took some seconds for him to believe what he heard. His wife's voice after a long time. The voice he was craving to hear.
He smiled trying to control his happiness.
"Vaibhav...It's me your Vaigha."she said

Both of them became happy hearing the other's voice. They didn't know what to say, how to begin, eventhough they have a thousand matters to say and discuss. A few minutes silence helped both of them to be calm. They are now ready to talk.

"Vaibhav are you fine?" She asked first.
"Hm..and what about you?"he asked
"I am alright. Did you miss me?"she asked.
"If you were infront of me here, I would have shown you how much I missed you. I was living only to see you. You have no idea how did I survive without you my Mrs. "he said.

She was trying hard to control tears.
"Vaibhav..I am sorry..."she said.
"Sorry for what? For going away from me?? "He said with mixed emotions.
"I can understand what must be your state now. Because I am too in the same state."she told.

He didn't respond. He was still trying to register that Vaigha called him.

"What about our family? Sanju? Everyone is fine?" She asked.
"Everyone is fine here except a poor soul who married you. No one is here for me. The person who I thought will be with me throughout my life left me for my siblings"he complained eventhough he didn't mean it.

She started crying covering her mouth so that he cant hear it.
He was confused not hearing her.
"And why did you call now?"he asked to confirm whether she is on line.
"I want to see you."she said making him wonder.

He couldn't believe her words. Finally she wants to meet him.
"Are you really?"he asked still in disbelief.
"Yes Vaibhav. I want to see you today itself. I know you might be angry with me for staying away from you. But pls trust me. You can't be angry anymore. I have a big surprise in store for you. You will definitely be happy hearing it."she said confidently.

"I am definitely happy after getting this call. Seriously you made me alive again. I got my life back after hearing your voice. I am not angry with you. But don't tell me to stay away from you anymore. I am taking you back with me today itself."he declared.

She was confused with his strong words. She is not yet ready to go with him. She touched her belly and realized that she dont have right to separate her baby from its father. Still she decided to convince him after meeting.
"I am coming there."he said.
"Vaibhav not here. I will be waiting for you at the park. Pls come there."
"Ok I will be there within minutes."he said.
They ended the call happily.

Vaibhav's PoV
I quickly took a shower. I opened the wardrobe and took her favourite color shirt and jeans. I wore it fastly. I was really excited to see her again. This time whatever happens I would bring her with me. I know she won't easily agree. May be I have to use my blackmailing. But I know she will come. She loves me a lot. And what would be that surprise. Whatever it is, I already got the biggest surprise in the form of her phone call.

I took the car keys and came out of my room. That's when I saw Anjali coming fastly with a piece of paper in her hands. Seeing me she stopped at her place. She might be shocked seeing me like this after such a long time. But I can see her relaxed face too. She is the one who hates Vaigha most. But it's all a cover up. I know she loves her most. She will be happy seeing her back. There are a lot of reasons for her to show this hatred. But a few days together can change all. That's much she loves Vaigha. When the person whom we love a lot lies to us, it's not easy to forgive so easily. But everything will be ok.

"Bhai..are you going out?"she asked in wonder.
"Yes..there is an urgent meeting"I said and she gave me a disbelief look.
"See you after that.."I was about to go when she called me from back.

"Bhai..there is an urgent matter. Our Sanju.."before she completes I interfered.
"For me this is more urgent now. We can discuss all other matter after this. Bye."I left after saying it.

I was driving the car but my mind was full of Vaigha's thoughts. Goshhh...I forgot one thing. I didn't shave my long beard. What if Vaigha didn't identify me. What if she calls me bear. No problem. If she calls me bear I will tickle her with this beard. It will be funny. Her giggles and huge chuckles filled my mind.
But still one doubt.
Am I ugly with this beard? I looked into the car mirror and smiled.
"Not bad."I said.

I was about to reach the park when my phone rang. Who is this now? May be Vaigha. She may be waiting for me.
I attended the call without looking at the caller ID.

"Hello.."I said.
"Hai Mr. Vaibhav Devansh. Do you remember me?"I heard a voice from the other end which felt familiar for me.
"Who is this?"I stopped the car.
"It's been a long time we met last time. But I don't think you can forget me so easily. Arey what kinda brother you are? How can you forget your sister's ex boyfriend??"

The voice gave me shivers and my blood boiled. I hitted my palm hardly on the car.
"Arun" I yelled at the top of my voice.
"Dont be so violent brother in law. Keep calm."he chuckled.

"You rascal.."I shouted frustratingly moving my fingers over my hairs.
"Hahaha..may be you are wondering why did I call you brother in law when there is no relationship between me and your sweet sister anymore. But you gave me another chance to be Vaibhav Devansh's brother in law. I knew that my sister is your wife now." He said making me shocked.

Vaigha? How did he know about our marriage? Did he see Vaigha?

"You are so sweet brother in law. You searched for my sister and married her through tricks to get revenge for your sister's fate. Great brother. By the way did you use her? I know you have already did what you want from her. That's why you kicked her out and she is now at the orphanage. Isn't it?"

How did he know that Vaigha is staying at orphanage? Did he found her? And what crap he is talking?

"Shut...if you dare to talk more about my wife, I will kill you. Scoundrel. Dont think that every men are like you to use girls and dump them." I shouted.

"Why she is staying at the orphanage then? Dont you want her now? Regret??"he asked.

"I don't regret for what I did. I love her and our marriage is still the best thing in my life. I only regret for what I haven't done. It was my mistake that you are still alive. I haven't finish you even after you spoiled my sister's life."I said hitting my hand again.

"Cool brother in law. Keep calm. We shouldn't fight like this. You married my sister. I care least for her. Even if you marry her for revenge and if you want to dump her from your life, go ahead man. I have no problem. She is a bitch."

"I told you to not speak about my wife like that. I will kill you stupid."I warned him.

"Hahaha such a loving husband. Great."he laughed.
"Stop this. Go away from our life if you want to live more."
Arun again laughed.

"You may be wondering how did I know about all these. What to do? I saw her yesterday and that time itself I started my enquiry. And now I know everything about both of you" he said as if he did something big.

"Go to hell with your enquiry. You can't do anything with us. You are just a worm only living for money."

"Mr.Vaibhav Devansh. Talk to me carefully. I am not a fool to call you for a casual friendly talk."he said
"Then what do you want now? Why did you call me?"I asked.

"Because someone is now in my custody who is very special for you."he said giving me another shock.
What?? VAIGHA in his custody?

"Vaigha....Arun, dont do anything to her. I will give you anything. Please"I begged.

"Such a loving husband. Thinking about your wife 24 hours.. haha...but I don't have her with me."

"Then about whom you are talking?" I asked impatiently.
"I wanted to make you hear her voice. But unfortunately she don't have a voice."he laughed.

"Sanju????"I shouted.
He again laughed.
How did Sanju get into his custody? Oh god. I can't let her happen anything. I remembered how Anjali started a conversation about Sanju. But I didn't wait to hear it. Damn it.

"Why are you ill treating my little sister? Pls Arun. She is innocent. Please leave her. I will give you anything. Even my life too."I said.

"Will you give me your life for your sister?"he asked.
"Yes. You can do anything with me. But pls leave her. She is a patient. Pls don't make her tense."I said
"Then give me your wife who is your life. I want Vaigha back. In return I will free your sister." He said freezing me.

"Vaigha?? Why do you need her?" I asked shockingly.
"Hey anyway you don't have any use with her now. You left her. But I want her. Because the properties of her father are still in her name. Even if I tried a lot, I didn't get its ownership. I want Vaigha for getting that."he said and I clenched my fist.

"You rascal. If you want properties, I will give you my entire earnings. Leave my sister. And don't come back to my wife's life. You have no right on her. You are not her real brother too."

"Mr. Vaibhav Devansh. Dont be over smart. I want her. Otherwise forget about Sanjana." He said making me scare.

"Pls..I am begging you. Leave her. She is a patient."
"That's an advantage."he again laughed
I clenched my fist.
"I know you can't let your wife leave so easily. May be you will choose that useless girl over your sister. But I don't think your other siblings will do the same. I have informed them too"
It was another shock for me.
"Who first brings Vaigha infront of me, they can go back with Sanjana. Hope you will take a right decision. It's a day for you to prove that you are a good husband or good brother. Bye." with that he ended the call.

I was confused. What I will do now? One side my wife, another side Sanju. My phone was ringing continuously and I finally attended the call.
"Bhai. Where are you now? If you don't come back to home within 15 minutes, then you won't see us anymore" I heard Krithika's threatening voice and with that she ended the call.

Without thinking more I started driving car to home.
*****
Vaibhav rushed into his home only to see his sisters and brothers sitting tensed. He quickly snatched the paper from Anjali's hand. He read it.

I will come back soon. I am going to meet Vaigha. Don't worry for me.

He looked at his sibling's face. He dont know what to say to console them.

"That Arun has called us. Our Sanju is in his custody." Arjun clenched his fist while saying it. His face reflected his full anger towards Arun. Others condition was not different including Vaibhav's.

"How did he come into this? Idiot" Amar asked more to himself.

"I know. He called me too." He said in a low voice.

"Then you must know about this too. He asked your wife in return for Sanju. What's the meaning of all this? How do he knows Vaigha? Why he wants Vaigha in return for Sanju?" Amar asked angrily.

Vaibhav confused whether to tell or not. He didn't want to hide anything more from them to complicate already existing problems. He looked at Anjali's face who was looking at him impatiently.

"Vaigha is Arun's sister."he said making everyone shocked. They looked at each other and then at their brother's face who is getting ready to bear anything. No one could believe it.

"Bhai..are you mad? What are you saying? Your wife is that Arun's sister???" Arjun shouted.

"Yes. She is not his real sister. Her father's second wife's son."before he completes Arjun shouted.

"Why did you do this to us bhai? You married his sister. You married our biggest enemy's sister... how could you do this? He destroyed our ANJALI's life. Did you forget it? Are you really her brother? How could you marry the sister of the person who destroyed our family once? You already knew how much time it taken to make things normal." Arjun questioned him.

"Arjun, I didn't know that she is his sister. And she dont have any share in Arun's and her father's sins." He tried to convince them. But no one was ready to hear him. He came infront of Anjali.

"Anjali. Please believe me. I didn't marry her to hurt you. Vaigha dont know anything. Pls don't curse her. She is innocent. She neither knows anything about our family's tragedy nor that her brother is the reason for it"he requested.

"Do you want me to believe you once more bhai? I have no complaints since you married her. You chose your life. Didn't ask us. It's ok. It's your life and we don't have any right. But I can't afford one more loss. Already I suffered a lot. I want Sanjana back. Dont let anything happen to her. Remember that our Sanju is in the hands of that beast." Anjali said boldly.

"I won't let anything happen to our Sanju. I will save her."he said confidently.

"Would you save her or your wife? We know Vaigha will be your priority. We cant lose our sister by once again believing your words." Arjun said making Vaibhav angry.

"Shut up. Sanjana is my sister and Vaigha is my wife. They both are my priority. I want both of them to be safe." He shouted at Arjun.

"I believe you. I also want both of them to be safe. No one here wants Vaigha to be in danger for saving Sanju even if no one saying it loudly."Amar said making Vaibhav surprise.

"Dont worry. Arun can't play with our family anymore. I promise. I am going to save Sanju."He was about to go when Arjun held his hand.
"We are also coming with you."Arjun said.

The twins accompanied Vaibhav. They left together.
