***************************************************************************************
Author's POV
The next day (College)
Taara, Naina and Sankar was in the canteen, it was break time and they trio were having their food while chit chatting when a boy approached Taara. He was a courier boy guided by someone in the college, Taara was confused when he said,
"Mam, Taara verma?"
Taara nodded while Sanskar and Naina looked on, the boy handed her a parcel saying,
"Mam, there's a parcel for you."
He forwarded a gift box and a flower bouqet shocking both the girls. Taara asked him confused,
"For me?"
The boy nodded and passed on the stuff to her when she asked,
"KIsne bheja hai?"
The boy just shook his head,
"Mam, we were asked to keep the identity anonymous. Please sign here."
He forwarded a pen and paper and soon when away while Naina asked shocked,
"Who must have sent this?"
Taara just shrugged, "No idea!"
Sanskar was just looking on silently sipping his soft drink, Taara looked at him suspiciously as he was acting too calm. Shaking her head, she opened the gift wrapper and found a small pink cute box. Naina and Taara were looking at it with interest, and the beautiful flower bouquet that had purple flowers.
Naina said eagerly, "Taara, boz ko kya ghur rahi ho, ghurne se pata thodi na chalega usme kya hai. Open it..."
The girl nodded and opened the lid of the box only to see a beautiful intricately designed hand mirror kept backwords inside it with TS written on the back of it. Taara frowned confused along with Naina,
"A mirror? Who would give you a mirror?"
Taara picked it up not saying anything and just rotated it to see the mirror from front, Naina's brows rose seeing ita dn she exclaimed,
"Oh my god, something is scribbled on the glass, see."
True to that, there was something printed on the mirror, Taara just brought it a little close to see her reflection in the mirror and read out loud,
Iss aaiyne mein tum apni jhalak dekh rahi ho,
Sabse khubsurat chehre ka aks dekh rahi ho.
Samjh nahi paa raha hu,
Aaiyna zyada khushnaseeb hai,
Ya fir tum?
Naina was looking at the scene with mouth and eyes wide open while Taara was speechless. Naina was the first one to come out of shock and said,
"Wowwww! Taara, kitni pyaari lines hain, omg. Who can be this?"
She was thinking when she saw a note, she picked it up and said,
"See yahan note bhi hai..." she opened it and read, "The girl you just met is the most beautiful girl for me. She is the one who has my whole heart in her eyes. I can just say, I don't know if you are mine Taara, but I am yours! Forever and ever. Yours!"
Hearing the note Taara's head just snapped to Sanskar's directon knowing it was him, and there he was sitting, looking at her intently not even trying to hide the feelings in his eyes. Taara couldn't deny, she loved his this gesture. It was one of the best things someone did for her, the act was special. Very special!
And the way Sanskar was looking at her was enough to make her feel overwhelmed, he was just gazing at her as if she was the only thing left in the world. Their trance broke when Naina said astonished,
"Taara, eeeeeeeeeeeeeee, girl you are so lucky. You have got yourself an admirer. My god girl, this is so sweet. Do you know who he is?"
Sanskar smiled hearing his sister's excitement and looked at Taara who just shook her head with a smile, when Naina said with a dreamy smile,
"Awweeee Taara. I hope you find this man soon, main teri jagah hoti na main pakka haan kardeti. He must love you a lot. Itna thoughtful gift mene pehli baar dekha hai."
Sanskar smiled hearing her and looked at Taara who was avoiding looking at him, and said with a smile for the first time,
"I agree, he must love her a lot!"
Taara looked at him as he said that, both getting lost in each other's eyes while Naina was just smiling at the gift. She was a fan of this person's surprise and said,
"Uff, I don't know about you Taara, but I can't wait to meet this person. Kya lagta hai tum dono ko, would he be in this college ya or koi?"
Sanskar just shrugged while Taara was in a trance, she packed the stuff when Naina said,
"Uff pata nahi mereko aise gifts kab milenge kisi se. Anyways! It's my class time, I'll see you guys later. Byeeee!"
Naina had an additional subject which Taara and Sanskar didn't study hence she left them while the duo was just sitting there. without saying anything Taara stood up and said,
"Come with me!"
He frowned but nodding obliged knowing she must want to talk to him. The duo walked away and soon came to an empty isolated corridor which was closed for the time period as some consctruction was going on, but since there was some strike going, the corridor was empty for the time being.
They entered an empty classroom and Sanskar closed the door behind them not wanting someone to catch them here. She turned around with the gifts still in her hand and asked,
"It is you!?"
It was a statement more than a question while Sanskar just kept looking as she again said,
"It is you, you sent these right?"
Sanskar just nodded looking at her when she said a little overwhelmed, trying to hid eit behind her frustration,
"Why?? Why are you doing this Sanskar?"
He knew his any other words at the moment were baseless, they have had this discussion before and no result came out of it. Thus, he said the words he knew matters the most,
"I love you!"
Taara's breath hitched hearing him, she almost cried in frustration as angry tears along with tears of love came in her eyes. She knew she was losing the battle, the battle with him, he was winning in making her believe in his love. And it was frustrating her to no extent. She was always on edge because of it.
She just shook her head wildly,
"Why now? Why after all this time?"
Sanskar's heart pained seeing her tear stricken face, he just moved closer and cupped her face and murmured,
"I don't know, I just know that I love you. I don't know anything else. I love you. I want you. I need you. That's all I know!"
She hiccupped trying to get free form hi,, but he held her face firmly and kept his forehead on hers and tried to calm her down
"Shhhh! Taara, bas! It's ok. We'll see everything. We'll set everything straight. Koi ni agar if you can't trust me now. No worries if you don't want to gimme a chance now. Just don't be like this. Itna stress mat lo. Aise mat ho. I can't see you like this. Leave all this stress for me, humare beech mein job hi ho, uski wajah se I don't want to see you in stress. Bas, chup If you don't want me to do all this, main ye sab bhi anhi karunga. Bas tell me, what do you want?"
She whimpered hearing him, his care in his voice and the way he said he'll even stop whatever he is doing to make her believe in his love if that means she'll be stress free just stole her heart a little more. she could feel the last of the reigns breaking apart at his words and asked crying,
"Why sanskar, itna pyaar kyu?"
He just chuckled a little and said, "I know bahot zyada pyaar karta hu, fir bhi whenever I think of it, I know its still not enough. You deserve much more. I love you Taara, you are my star. My pole star. My whole world and sky's center."
She whimpered more and said something which eh was dying to hear from so many days,
"I...I love .....I love you too Sanskar! I love you so much!"
He moved back and looked ta her surprised, looking to see if she was joking or she'll still deny being with him. But when nothing of this sort happened, he asked her,
"Sachhi?"
She nodded cupping his cheek as she said,
"I believe you. I am sorry mene itne time se tumpe believe ni kiya, tumhe hurt kiya, tumhare efforst ko acknowledge ni kiya. I was scared, so scared ki kahin ye bass attract or......"
He shook his head saying, "Shh, no need to say all this, just say what I am dying to hear again..."
She giggled through tears making him smile and nodded again saying, "I love you Sanskar Singhania! I love you to the moon and back."
He grinned and hugged her tightly dusbalancing both of them for a second with the force making her laugh as she hugged him back tightly while he pulled her closer making her rise on her toes a little. The duo kept hugging each other, when they pulled back for a second. Sanskar looked at her and kissed her forehead and then her nose, wiping her tears through his thumb. She too wiped his tears and kissed his cheek making him suck a breath.
The duo gazed ta each other as the distance between them decreased and they kissed each other softly sealing their love pact. He didn't hurry, just kissed her so softly like a feather, taking her feel in while she did the same. Soon, they broke the kiss and laughed seeing the other's flushed face as he asked embracing her a little,
"Are we together now? Like officially?"
She nodded keeping her ehad on his chest, "Yeah, we are!"
He sighed keeping his hand on her head caressing it and kissing her crown, saying in peace,
"I can get used to your hugs and kisses love. Love you so much."
She nodded, "Me too. Love you more!"

Singhania Mansion
"Or pata hai uspe itni pyaari lines likhi thi, pata nahi kisne bheja tha, but bahot sundar gift tha."
Naina was telling everything that happened with Taara in college animatedly to everyone. Singhania siblings as usual after dinner and when the kids and elders retired to their rooms, were sitting in one of their hang out spots in the mansion cuddling their partners while they enjoyed Naina's story as well as the delicious glass of dessert Kanchi made for everyone.
Amna was sitting on the couch as Karan laid on the sofa with his head on her lap, Veer was getting his head massage from Ishita, Kanchi and Mishkat sat cuddling as usual next to them while Naina was lying her head in Taani's lap who was right now in Rey's arms. She was continuously caressing the siblings heads. Swadhinta was feeling pain in her back hence she was lying while Adarsh sat beside her patting her head and Twinkle and Siddhant were sitting with Twinkle head on his shoulder as Sanskar was sulking sitting in the corner. He was cursing himself for sending the gift in front of Naina and also for her big mouth who wasn't stopping herself from story-telling.
Here someone was enjoying seeing Sanskar's condition and the other one was confused.
They were none other than our Rey and Taani respectively. Taani frowned Rey smiling hearing naina's story while she knew how possessive Rey was about Taara. Swayam, Ashish and he hated when somebody tried to flirt with her, she was their baby sister. But here he was smiling and smirking continuously as patiently heard Naina.
Ye Reyansh ne abhi tak search mission kyu nahi bheja dhundhne ke liye uss ladke ko. Itna shanat kese hain?............Or itna khush kyu hain?
She frowned looking at him suspiciously, and asked in a hushed tone,
"Why are you smirking Reyansh? You are enjoying the story, aapko gussa nahi aa raha ki kisine Taara ko gift bheja?"
Rey lightly chuckled and leaned down whispering something,
"Apne pyaare devar ki shakal dekho, sab samjh aa jayega..."
Taani looked at him confused then looked at Sanskar who was sulking looking at Naina, then looking up mumbling something as if praying to God and then again looking at Naina with murderous glare. Taani's eyes widened as Sanskar hit his forehead subtly so none sees and Rey stifled his laughter seeing his brother's condition. Taani blinked her eyes a couple of times cutely when something clicked her,
"Vo gift Sanskar ne bheja tha?"
Rey grinned and nodded, she gaped like a fish, opening and closing her mouth for a few seconds then again blinking cutely making Rey chuckle and kiss her cheek while she flushed looking around if someone saw. She looked at him when he said,
"Yes mam, Taara ka admirer or koi ni, ye aapka pyaara devar hai."
Taani looked at him confused and asked, "But..but uski gf?"
Rey shrugged, "They broke up, or vese bhi Sanskar love Taara, he was never in love with Vishakha. Pata nahi iss gadhe ko kyu laga he was in love with her. And when he realised, he broke up with her and now he is busy pursuing Taara. Bichara, he is having a hard tiem coz ab meri behen isko bhaav nahi de rahi. Achha hi hai, yehi hona chahiye iske saath. Itne time usko hurt kiya hai isne..."
Taani hit his bicep lightly making him frown as she said, "To jaan bhujhke thodi na kiya. Aap bhi na Rey! Ab ye bataiye Sanskar ko kab realise hua?"
Rey said, "Humari shaadi mein!"
Taani's eyes widened and she asked, "Matlab ye sab ek month se chal raha hai."
Rey nodded as Taani looked at Sanskar, and she giggled, "Koi ni, I am sure soon they both will be together."
"Hope so!"
Rey said, both unware that the couple was now together already. Naina was saying when Rey said, deciding to tease Sanskar,
"Naina, bachha. You want to know vo kisne bheja hai, haina?"
Everybody looked at him with interest, while sanskar looked taken aback by Rey suddenly jumping in the conversation. He looked at the latters face which was screaming evilness at the moment and he gulped knowing Rey was upto something.
Ishita immeditaley nodded, "Rey, Naina kya ab to hum sabko bhi pata karna hai ki ye kon hai, itna achha gesture. Wowww!"
Kanchi too nodded excitedly, "Haan bhabhi, Taara is so lucky." She then hit Mishkat and said, "Mishu tum kuch kyu nahi sikhte uss aadmi se."
Twinkle too hit Siddhath at that and said, "Haan sid tum bhi. Kanchi jiss din vo mil gaya na, hum bolenge humare husbands ko tutions dene ke liye."
Swadhinta said, "Sahi mein bhabhi......romance ka R bhi nahi pata innhe."
Adarsh narrowed his eyes ta this line and whispered in her ear, "Oh madam, agar mereko romance ka R ni pata hota na, to jo ye tumhare andar ghar banake baitha hai vo kabhi nahi aata."
Swadhinta's eyes widened while she gestured him to stay quite and concentrated on the discussion making him chuckle. Taani was enjoying the discussion when Rey said smirking,
"Don't worry bhabhi's aapko zyada wait nahi karna padega usse milne mein..."
Sanskar gulped and discretely joined his hands in front of Rey knowing his brother guessed it was him. Rey smirked while his brothers looked at him, Rey gestured his brothers through his eyes to see Sanskar, they all looked at him and it didn't took them a minute to guess what is the matter when Sanskar looked like a deer caught in headlight.
This time Taani too joined hands and asked,
"Kese reyansh? Aap usko dhundhne vale ho?"
Sanskar looked at Taani who was biting her lips to stop the incoming smile as if she betrayed him. even his brothers stifled his laugh when Veer said, "Arre I know what Rey is saying Taani, hume bas ye pata karna hai vo courier boy kon tha. Uska baad ladka to aise mil jaeyga,"
He said clicking his fingers, and then Karan said, "Haan or vese bhi hum Singhania's hain, bilkul tiem nahi lagega uss insaan ko dhundhne mein jisne HUMARIIIIIIIIIIII Taara ko gift bheja."
Siddharth nodded, "Haan pata chalte hi aise thokenge na usse, itna maarenge, itna maarenge."
Sanskar here was imagining himself getting thrashed from all his brothers at the same time whiel Taani was having a hard time to not burst out laughing and all the other girls were sitting clueless, when Mishkat said,
"Haan, usko uski naani nahi yaad dilayi to mera name bhi Mishkat nahi!" Sanskar here thought gulping,
Saalon kuch to sharam karlo, saamne baitha hun, mere saamne mere hi maut ka plan bana rahe ho. Kya bhagwan ji konsi dushmani nikali hain Rey bhai ne mujhse.
As soon as he thought about revenge he was reminded by all the times he irritated Rey, teased him and played pranks on him. he sighed irritatedly,
Arre thik hai, ab yaad dila ne ki zarurat nahi hai kis kis cheez ka badla nikal rahe hai bhai.
Saying that he tried to block everything when Rey said something that knocked his breath out,
"Hnn, hum to karenge hi, fir aayega Ashish. Or jab usse pata chalega ki koi idiot, gadha, ullu ka pattha, namuna uski behen ke peeche hain fir to apne aap qayamat aayegi. Or hum baith ke picture dekhenge, with snacks."
Saying that he held Taani's hand and ate the dessert from her hand making her giggle softly. All brother's stifled their laugh while the girls were still trying to understand everything, as Sanskar imagined AShish beating him black and blue.
He saw Ashish's punches landing on his beautiful face, then him kicking Sanskar and at last taking him to the roof and dangling him from the corner.
As soon as the thought crossed him he got up shouting,
"Noooooooooooooooooooo!"
Everybody but the boys were startled at his shout, while Naina fell on the floor from Taani's lap in shock. She groaned whiel Taani helped her up, who was glaring irritated at Sanskar.
The boys couldn't hold their laughter anymore and burst out laughing, and the next moment seeing them even Taani couldn't hold herself back. she took laughed out loud at Sanskar's face who was sweating.
The girls were wearing puzzled expressions as they saw the boys tumbling and falling in laughter. Amna spoke from everybody's behalf and asked,
"Kya ho gaya, tum sab aise kyu hass rahe ho?"
Karan tried to hold his laugh and say,
"Bcoz baby...vo....vo banda...banda or koi nahi....ye...ye devar hai tumhara."
The girls besides Taani looked at SAnskar shocked,
"Whatttttt!"
The boys nodded still laughing when Twinkle said,
"Hum samjhe nahi? Sanskar tu Taara ka secret admirer hai..."
Sanskar looked at her and then slightly nodded, when Naina said,
"Hawww, Sanskar bhai, aap Taara ke admirer hain. Matlab aaj vo gift aapne bheja tha....Vo shayari vala. Kahan se churai?"
Naina looked at him doubtfully making everybody laugh while he narrowed his eyes and showed her a fake slap, Rey laughed and said,
"Main batata hu...."
He told them everything, even the part where the boys were teasing Sanskar, the guy looked beaten at the end when everybody was laughing at him with tears in their eyes,
"Hahaha! Very funny!"
Mishkat said, "We know dude, tu kya bata raha hai."
And again there was a bout of laughter whiel Sanskar looked at them with mouth open, he said,
"Han han, bade maze aa rahe hain na meri lene mein. Yahan baithe baithe do bar bypass surgery ho gayi thi meri, almost upar pahoncha diya tha aap sabne. Maarenge, thokenge, mene kaha saare apne hi bhai ke dushman hain."
All laughed hard hearing his words, their stomach's hurting when he said,
"Han han hass lo, main bata hi nahi raha ki Taara ne aaj mujhse kya kaha..."
This caught everybody's attention, Taani asked him with the most earnest and cute face,
"Kya? Kya kaha sanskar? Bata na?"
He smiled and went near her pushing Naina who sulked, and side hugged Taani as he told everybody they are together now and Taara is his official girlfriend. Now this was surprising for everyone, even Rey. He asked,
"Sach?"
Sanskar nodded, Ishita narrowed her eyes,
"Achha ji, or aap ye khudse hume kab batane vale the?"
Sanskar made an obvious face and said, "Bhabhi abhi batane vaala tha, but ye bolne de tab na..." saying that he slapped the back of Naina's head who pouted as he spoke, "Aate hi parrot ki tarah bolne lagi, mereko mauka hi nahi diya. Toti kahin ki."
Naina whined hearing him and said,
"Bhai dekho na..."
Saying that she side hugged Siddharth who hit Sanskar, "Oye Bandar, khabardar isko kuch bola."
Nains smiled and hugged him tightly while Sanskar rolled his eyes, when Kanchi,
"Ohho devar ji aap to bade romantic nikle........waah!"
Sanskar blushed as everybody started teasing him when the teasing turned and Swadhinta said,
"Lagta hai romance genes Karan bhaiya, Rey or Sanskar ko chhodke sab Singhania's mein missing hain."
Karan, Rey and Sanskar laughed as the other Singhania men rolled their eyes muttering, "Whatever!"
