NOT EDITED
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Everything started one year ago, Rishaan, but trust me you were not involved any of this. I never acted in front of you I was all by myself. You are my only happiness in my life. My love for you is not an act. I really love you and always will." She pauses but Rishaan doesn't say anything. She sighs and continues.
"Mishal, is my twin brother. We were like two bodies one soul. We use to do any work together, having siblings of different age group will have a different bond but the the bond twins share is like a different which can't be explained. He is always over protective, caring and naughty. He is a all in one package for me.
He fought with our parents to let me study further, he is like a pillar between me and our parents. After our studies Mishal was placed in your company and started working there. I was not allowed to work, they started to search alliances for me. Even Mishal tried to make them understand but all in vein.
What happened After few months of joining was like a big blow on our faces. One day instead of him, his body came home. It was very unusual death. Police were telling that it was an accident but we understood that it isn't. I was very adamant to know what happened. Then I found a pen drive in his room in which a video was recorded. Which says about all the illegal activities done by your parents and a small note along with that telling your parents came to know that he found out that what they were up to and that can be a problem for him.
Now, everything is clear for me and I wanted revenge from them. That's why I joined in their company and wanted to get into their good books. But marring you or falling in love with you was never a part of the plan. Our plan is to only getting close to them and slowly getting to know their secrets. But it was a shock for us when your parents came with a marriage proposal to our home.
I know from the beginning that you were not involved in any of these things, forget involvement you don't even know what they are up to. What do you think the real reason behind they choosing me instead of any other girl.
They thought that I'm an innocent, naive girl who will listen to their each and every word, and can be manipulated very easily. My parents, grandparents convinced me to marry you saying that I can get access to all their personal details and can gather proofs.
But I didn't marry you for that reason, my heart always says that your a very good person and I will be happy with you. Don't ask me how? I just know.
I know you will hate me after doing that evil thing to your parents, but for once think from my point of view. They are not good to be your parents. You grew up in your maternal grandparents home instead of your parents home. You are very different from your parents.
I just took my revenge for my twin brother but there are so many people whom they killed, but just there is no proof of it.
I know it is not good to tell a son that their parents are murderer but it is the truth." She finishes, by now treats are rolling down their cheeks.
"Can I hug you!!??" He asks out of nowhere.
First she is confused but immediately she takes him into her embrace.
Both are crying their heart out!!!
"I never accused you of arresting my parents, cuz you can never arrest them. " He says.
"I thought you used me to get only your revenge." He tells her.
"I would never do that! I love you!!" She tells him while cupping his face.
"I thought you will leave now as you are done with your revenge!!" He tells her lowering his gaze.
She makes him look into her eyes and says... "You are my husband, no matter what I will never leave your side." She tells him more like assuring.
He gave her a small smile. After few minutes which seems to be like ages.
"Umm..... Rishaan, what did you mean by 'you can never arrest my parents'??" She Asks him confused.
He sighs......
"They are not my parents, they are my chacha (father's younger brother) and chachi (father's younger brother's wife)." He pauses and looks at her. She is having a blank expression on her face, she doesn't know what to say.
"My biological parents died in a car crash when I was very young, that's the reason why I grew up in my maternal grandparents home. When they passed away, chacha and chachi adopted me." He tells her.
"When you told me about killing your brother, there is a high possibility that the car crash is also pre planned murder by my uncle and aunt." He tells her sadly.
She hugs tightly comforting him. This is the most shocking news she ever got in her life.
"I am sorry!!" She says, he shakes his head in negative.
After few minutes they go to their room and sleep took over them.
——————————————————
Night at 12 o'clock.........
Mahira wakes Rishaan....
"Rishaan.... wake up!!" He just stirs in sleep
After struggling of 5 mins he wakes up.
" Happy Birthday to ME" She wishes herself waking him up.
He chuckles at her childish act but....
"If you are going to wish yourself... why did you wake me??" He asks her faking anger.
"Cuz you forgot my birthday!!" She tells him. Now she is angry. You definitely can't win an argument with wife it's better to surrender. 😂
He smiles sheepishly at her and he wishes her. They shared a sweet kiss.
"Now, where is my gift??" Mahira demands.
He sheepishly smiles at her and tells that he forgot.
"What do you want tell me? I will give you anything." He tells her.
"Ok then I will ask you when I want it." She tells him.
"Fine!! So, now where is my return gift??" He Asks her leaning forward, expecting a kiss or more than that, but she back away.
He shows his puppy eyes to her.She is blushing deep red.
"What?? You know I'm too innocent, I can't give you what your asking." She says shyly.
He looks at her like she has grown two heads.
"Yeah right!!!! You are TOO INNOCENT TO HANDLE!!!" He tells her and starts tickling her.
This turned into a love making session for them.
After few hours....
They are just covered in think sheets. Her head is on his bare chest and he is playing with her hair locks.
"I want to tell you something!!" Mahira says.
"I am listening." He says.
"I think I am pregnant." She says closing her eyes. Not getting any reaction from him she opens them.
He is just sitting with a blank expression on his face.
"I think I heard you wrong!! Repeat again!!" He Asks her confused, she sighs.
"You are going to be a father." She again tells him.
A tiny tear escaped from corner of his eye.
"Are you serious!!??" He Asks her still not believing.
She happily nodes her head.
He immediately hugs her and started crying.
That is the happiest news he ever got.
After few minutes he releases her from his hug and starts talking to his child, as if it can listen to him.
"Oh god!!! The baby will be like a tiny bean." She tells him unable to see his drama.
"I know!! You are forgetting that you are speaking with a doctor!!" He tells her.
She shakes her head in disbelief.
Next day morning........
She asks her gift from him during breakfast.
"I want to move from this place, Rishaan. Let's settle some where else!!" She Asks him.
He immediately nodes his head in understanding.
"I will do the arrangements." He tells her leave from there not before instructing her to take rest.
"Don't forget you are having doctor appointment at 2 o'clock. Be ready at 1:30pm I will come and get you." He tells her. She nods her head.
—————————
After 9 months.........
A lot of things changed in these nine months.
They finally found out that the reason behind Rishaan's parents death is his uncle and aunt and he broke all his ties with them and they shifted to another city.
Among all the worst things, their baby girl is the best thing ever happened to them.
They started living with their small family happily.
Life is not bed of roses. They have faced many difficult situations but they had each other's back.
