Aw, my heart is racing! The scenario I imagined of TejRan visiting Mahabalipuram in Chennai has come true. I wrote a short trip from my imagination, picturing them exploring Mahabalipuram and then staying in a nearby resort. But seeing them actually walking hand in hand there fills me with indescribable happiness. Touchwood...
ENJOY READING❤❤
The day passed quickly. Karan finished his shoot by evening and joined Teju.. They went to a nearby restaurant and had a perfect dinner.. Later, as they found themselves alone in the comfort of their room, Karan's thoughts drifted to the weighty matter they had been avoiding: informing their parents about their current status.. Karan's voice, soft and tender, broke the silence, reaching out to Teju like a gentle caress..
Karan : Laddoo..
Teju lifted her gaze from where she had been resting against his shoulder, her fingers absently tracing patterns on his hand..
Teju : hmm..?
Karan : tune ghar mein sabko batake aayi na?
Reality struck her as she realized she hadn't informed anyone about her arrival. She sat upright, her widened eyes meeting his, blinking rapidly. Frowns creased her forehead as tension gripped her heart.
Teju: Maine kisiko nahi bataya, Sunny. Vahaan sab mujhe dhoondh rahe honge. I haven't spoken to any of them since you returned. Pata nahi kya kar rahe honge... Appa... Appa kaise hain? Unke health ke baare mein bhi nahi pucha... Oh God... Main kaise aise careless rehti hun?
Tears started forming in her eyes as she started panicking.. Her hands trembled as she frantically searched for her phone, the panic causing a rash to form beneath her right ear.. Seeing her taking stress, he pulled her towards him and hugged her tightly.. He felt her body tremble against his chest, her tears dampening his shirt as she sought solace in his arms.
Karan : shush.. calm down.. sab thik hi honge.. abhi tak tumare Omi bhai ne sab pata chal gaya hoga.. usko pata chal gaya hoga ki tu yahaan aayi hai mujse milne.. Appa bhi thik hi honge.. Just take a deep breath and relax..
Teju : nahi sunny.. main kyun aisi hun?.. Why can't I be responsible towards my people?.. Ek bhi kaam thik se nahi kar rahi hun.. Appa ko bhi khush nahi kar pa rahi hun.. Tuje bhi khush nahi rakh pa rahi hun.. Mere carelessness ke vajase humara baby..Why sunny?.. Why can't I handle anything? .. Nobody deserves someone like me..
Karan : chaped khayaegi aise baat karegi toh.. bilkul chup rehna.. uss vakth tumara priority main tha, isliye tune nahi bataya.. It's fine.. hojata hai.. Uske bareme mat soch..chal abh hum unse baat karte hein.. They would be worrying about us.. Unko bhi toh reason batana hai..
Teju : I can't disappoint them.. Agar Amma ko pata chalega toh voh sad hojayenge.. Appa ko abhi batana sahi nahi hai.. He is in last stage of cancer.. Sudharshan uncle ne bola tha unko stress nahi dena hai..
Karan : Tuje kya lagta hai abh appa stress mai nahi hai?.. Agar aise delay karenge toh aur stress feel karenge.. Don't you want to talk to Appa?.. Unke health ke bareme nahi puch na hai kya?
Teju's breath caught in her throat as she absorbed the weight of his words. she replied with trembling voice..
Teju : I want to talk to him..
Karan's smile softened
Karan : Phir.. Baat karte hein na..
Teju pouted and made scared faces.. Karan chuckled looking at her and cupped her cheeks, playing with them.
Karan : Kya hogaya mera laddoo ko?
she leaned into his touch.. his thumb brushing gently against her cheek.. Her breath caught in her throat, the weight of her worries spilling out in a rush of words.
Teju : Maa aur Papa mujse baat nahi karenge toh?.. They might be angry on me.. Will they accept me?
Karan : Accept you?.. You are their daughter.. Kaise accept nahi karenge?.. Aur ye accept vali baat kahaan se aayi?..
Her eyes glistened with unshed tears as she struggled to voice her deepest fears
Teju : Nahi.. voh... voh miscarraige ke baare mein unhe batane se... mujhe lagta hai ki... ki voh mujhse nafrat karne lagenge..
Karan : Tuje kyun Utpatang khayal aata hai.. Chill baby..
Teju : hmm.. wait?.. utpatang khayal?.. seriously, Sunny?... Main yahaan apni dar batarahi hun aur tu chill karne ko bol raha hai..
Karan : Seriously, Laddoo.. tumhare dimag mein humesha aise khayal kyun aate hain.. tum ho hi itni pyaari... why would someone hate you?.
Teju, with tears : I don't know, Sunny.. sometimes... sometimes fear makes us think the worst.. aur vaise bhi, I left without informing them.. Appa ko meri sabse syada zarurat thi.. Main nahi reh payi unke saath..
Karan : tum reason bataogi toh sab manjayenge.. Appa, he will understand everything.. He loves you.. unko bhi pata hai ki tum bhi bohot pyaar karte ho..
Teju nodded slowly, her tears still flowing but her heart feeling a bit lighter with Karan's comforting words. She drew in a shaky breath, trying to compose herself.
Teju : hmm.. tu sahi bol raha hai.. I need to talk to them.. I owe them an explanation... And... and I hope they'll forgive me...
Karan wrapped his arms around her, holding her close..
Karan : That's my strong girl... abh call karein?
She nodded, her heart racing with nervousness... As he initiated the video call, she took a deep breath, steadying herself for the conversation ahead.. He dialed the video call to Sreetu.. After a few rings, Sreetu appeared on the screen, her face lighting up with a radiant smile at the sight of Teju and Karan together..
Sreetu called out to their family members.. She watched as Sreetu gathered everyone to join the video call, her nerves coiling tighter with each passing moment.
Sreetu : Maa, papa, amma, appa.. Sab idhar aayiye.. Bhai and Teju on the line.. Omi bhai...
She turned towards TejRan and waved at them..
Sreetu : hi bhai... Hey Teju.. Are you mad or what?.. Aise kon bina batake out of India jaata hai?.. I was scared not seeing you in the house..
Teju immediately held her ears and made a puppy face..
Teju : I'm sorry Seenu.. Main uss vakth sirf Sunny ke bareme soch rahi thi.. I couldn't think about anything else..
Sreetu : phir bhi.. Atleast ek message karti..
Karan cleared his throat, reminding them of his presence in the conversation..
Karan : helloo.. Mai bhi hun yahaan..
Sreetu : Haan toh.. Stay there.. Muje kya?.. Vaise Teju, tell me all the details of TejRan's ruthna manana diaries..
Teju : it's a long story.. Mai baad mein batati hun..
she nodded in understading.. Soon Karan's parents and Teju's parents along with Omi joined the video call..
TM : Teju..baby..
Teju : Amma...
Tears cascaded down their cheeks.. Sensing her distress, Karan gently took her hands in his own, offering a reassuring touch. He pressed a tender kiss to her palm, his gesture speaking volumes of his love and support for her..
Karan : shush.. it's okay..
She nodded to him and took a deep breath..
TM : Ni epdi ma iruka?... Ippo paravalaya? (Tu kaisi hai?.. abh tum thik ho?)
Teju : Nala Irukan maa.. ( Mai thik hun).. How are you?.. Appa, Maa, papa sab kaise ho?.. Bhai, aap kaise ho?
TD : we all are fine, Teju..
Omi : Tu toh mujse baat hi mat kar.. I'm really pissed off at you..
Teju : Bhai.. Please.. Maaf kardo.. Look here.. Me and Karan are back together..
Karan : Maine toh breakup kiya hi nahi.. Hum alag hue the kya?..
Teju : nahi.. Voh.. Rehne de.. Omi bhai, please maaf kardo na..
Omi : Nahi Teju... You hurt me a lot.. Maine ye umeed nahi ki thi, ki meri behan mujse kuch chupayi hai.. I thought we were close.. Muje laga hum dono sirf bolne keliye bhai behan nahi, asal mein bhai behan hai.. Par nahi.. You didn't trust me.. baat tumari galti ki nahi hai.. it's not just about you and Karan.. you left without saying anything... You made us worry... I was so angry... By facing everything alone, you made me realise that I'm not your brother..
Omi's words weighed heavily on Teju's heart, each one like a dagger piercing through her. She felt the sting of his disappointment and the depth of his hurt, knowing that she had caused him pain beyond measure..
Teju : Bhai... I know I messed up... I should've shared everything with you.. Trust ki baat nahi hai Bhai.. Ye mera dar ki baat hai.. Maine apne insecurities ko itna build hone diya ki voh muje aapse, Seenu se sabse dur kardiya.. Uss incident se bahar nahi aa paya main.. aap humesha mera bhai ho, sirf bolne keliye nahi bola hun.. I mean it..
Her voice trembled with emotion as she spoke, her eyes pleading for his forgiveness.. She wished she could erase the pain she had caused him, to turn back time and make different choices... But all she could do now was lay bare her regrets and hope that he would find it in his heart to forgive her..
Omi : It's okay bacha.. rehne de.. I understand.. I forgive you.. Bas, agli baar aise mat karna... Samjhi?
Teju : promise bhai.. Thank you, bhai.. Muje samajne keliye..
KM : bacha, now how is your health?.. Doctor ne kya bola?
Teju : Mere.. Mere ko.. Koi.. Pro.. Blem nahi... hai.. Maa..
Her voice wavered slightly as she spoke, the weight of recent events still bearing down on her.
KD : We know everything beta.. Seenu ne bata diya..
she looked Sreetu through the screen..Sreetu held her ears and asked sorry to her..
TM : Seenu ko kuch mat bolna.. Bachhi ne at least hume tumare bareme bataya toh sahi.. Par tune toh apni amma se bhi share nahi kiya..
She lowered her gaze, feeling a pang of regret for not opening up to her mother when she needed her the most..
Teju : sorry amma... voh .. I... I didn't know what to do... I felt so lost and alone... Muje sab kuch process karne mein time laga..
KM : bacha.. tum akele nahi ho.. hum sab hai tumare saath.. kaash main tera khayal rakh pati, toh ye sab nahi hota..
Teju : nahi amma.. miscarriage meri vajase hua hai.. muje aap sabko batana chahiye tha.. agar maine bataya hota toh aap sab mere khayal zarur rakte aur voh sab nahi hua hota..
Sreetu: Acha chalo, ab yeh emotional drama band karo... bhai, aap kahaan ho? sabki baatein sun rahe ho ki nahi?
Karan: Seenu... Main toh bas aap logon ki family drama mein kho gaye tha...
Sreetu: Arey wah, drama queen aur king... Chalo, batao ab sab kuch... Hum sab sunna chahte hain...
Karan : kya batana hai?
Sreetu : vahi joh Teju ne apko kaise manaya.. kuch toh ki hogi na..
Karan : bohot kuch kiya.. You know.. Usne pura ek boat rent pe li aur uspe decorations kiya tha.. Main Rann bhai aur Prince ke saath V&A waterfront gaya tha.. vahaan boat ride pe gaye the.. Main bohot sada hua mood pe tha, aur jab uski boat dekhi, I was gone..
Karan's eyes sparkled with fond memories as he recounted the surprise Teju had planned for him..
Teju : aii.. Ruk.. Voh toh pura roh pada muje dekhhe.. maine uskeliye ek balloon note ready kiya, usme "I'm Sorry" likha tha.. Muje laga Sunny mera muh bhi nahi dekhega.. Par usne muje baat karne ka mauka diya.. meri baat samjha.. aur usne muje samjaya bhi..
As Teju spoke, her voice trembled slightly with emotion, reliving the moment when Karan had forgiven her, and their bond had grown stronger. KD and KM smiled looking at each other.. Once Karan was a guy who doesn't forgive someone easily.. it takes weeks to manao him.. but for Teju, he is different..
TM : Tune sahi nahi kiya, Sunny.. Tuje isko aur tadapana chahiye.. uss raat kitna stress diya isne hum sabko..
Karan : Main toh usko maaf nahi karne vala tha, par jab uski puppy face dekha, main flat hogaya.. kaise maaf nahi karta issko..
As Karan spoke, a smile played on his lips, remembering the moment Teju had melted his heart with her apology.. Despite the initial hurt, he couldn't resist her genuine remorse, and his love for her had triumphed over his anger.. He leaned in and planted a gentle kiss on Teju's cheek, causing a blush to spread across her face..
Karan : haan.. Pata hai Maa, Papa.. I was amazed by her.. Voh chahti toh sirf muje message ya call karke sorry bol sakti thi.. Par usne kisi ko bina bataye, yahaan Cape Town aake joh ek anjaan country hai, yahaan aake mere resort ke opposite hotel pe room book karke, Rann bhai ko uski side karke, sab kuch plan karke muje surprise diya.. Can you imagine?... Pura ek boat pe "I'm Sorry" likha tha... kon karta aisa?.. maine kabhi aisa experience nahi kiya tha mere poore life mein..
His voice was filled with admiration and affection as he spoke about Teju's gesture, his eyes reflecting the depth of his love for her.. She smiled shyly, feeling overwhelmed by his words and the love he showered upon her. She reached out and intertwined her fingers with his.. He smiled warmly at her, his love for her shining in his eyes.
Sreetu: Wow! Teju ne toh sach mein surprise diya... Tum dono ka toh yeh trip memorable ho gaya...
Karan: Haan, bilkul... Teju ne mujhe sach mein khush kiya...
Teju's heart swelled with happiness as she listened to Karan's words and felt his affectionate gaze upon her. She couldn't help but blush at the praise, grateful for the opportunity to make him happy.
Sreetu: Achha, ab aur batao... Kya aur kiya tumne?
Teju: Well, after the boat surprise, we explored the streets of Cape Town together.. Karan took me to this quaint little cafe by the ocean where we had the coffee.. Then, we went for a long walk along the shoreline, holding hands and watching the sunset. It was magical...
Karan: Yeah, it was amazing... Phir humne kuch baatein kiye the.. aur Street performance dekhe the.. Laddoo toh puri bachi hogayi... And then, we went for dinner and returned to her room.. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect day...
Their families listened with smiles, happy to see the love and joy radiating from the couple.. Omi, who had been listening quietly, chimed in.
Omi : Dekha Appa.. They are back to their usual form, all lovey-dovey.. Main bohot khush hun tum dono ko vaapas aise dekhe.. Just remember, Main humesha tere saath hun.. No matter what..
Teju smiled at Omi, feeling touched by his words
Teju : Muje pata hai Bhai.. Love you so much..
Karan : Appa, aap kaise ho?.. Tablets theek se le rahe ho na?
Teju : arey haan.. Appa, aap kaise ho?.. Sorry, Main aapse bhi bina bataye hi aagayi.. Aapko meri sabse syada zarurat thi, par main aapko chodke yahaan aagayi.. I'm sorry..
TD : I'm fine Karan.. koi baat nahi Teju.. Actually main bohot khush hun.. Problem solve karne bina tum mere saath rahegi, tab main stress pe hoga aap dono ko leke.. par jabse tumari khabar mili, tabse man halkasa feel horaha hai..
Teju : I'm so grateful to have such a understanding parents and in- laws.. Papa, aap ko kuch nahi kehna?
KD : bohot hai kehna ka... Jab tu vaapas aayegi, tab main ek din keliye tumare time churaunga mere liye..
TD : Aye.. nahi.. Teju vaapas aane ke baad main usko apne paas hi rakhunga.. I want to spend some time with my daughter..
KD : aise kaise?.. Voh meri beti hai.. Muje bohot baatein karni hai uske saath.. Main toh nahi dunga
TD : nahi nahi.. Voh mere paas hi aayegi.. Haina Teju.. Appa ke saath time spend nahi karoge?
KD : Kya Teju?.. Teju toh muje hi choose karegi.. Right Teju?
Karan, feeling possessive towards Teju, wrapped his arm around her, pulling her close..
Karan : Chup.. calm down.. kisiko nahi milne vali hai.. Main usko akele vahaan nahi bhejne vala hun..
Teju chuckled at her possessive peoples..
Teju : Papa, Appa.. main toh dono ke saath time spend karungi.. ek din appa ke saath aur ek din Papa ke saath.. thik hai.. khush?
KD : haan, ye thik hai.. haina Sunil?
TD : haan..
Karan : phir mere saath kab time spend karegi?
KD : khoteya...tere saath hi toh reh rahi hai.. aur kitna time chahiye tuje?
Teju: Don't worry, Sunny. Tumhara bhi number ayega. We'll figure out something special for us too..
Karan grinned, leaned in to place a gentle kiss on her forehead..
Sreetu : Dekha Teju.. inka apna shuru hogaya.. muje toh teri chinta horahi hai.. shaadi ke baas toh ye sab aur bhi bad jayega.. tab kya karegi?
Teju : tab muje bachane ke liye mere dono moms hai, aur Omi bhai aur Meri pyaari nanad ji bhi hai.. voh sambhalenge.. uske liye toh abhi bohot time hai..
TM and KM : chalo... bass.. bakwas kardiya na.. abh meri beti ko sone do.. Muje pata hai, abh vahaan raat hochuki hogi.. dono sojao.. thik hai?
Teju and Karan nodded, bidding goodnight before ending the call.. As the screen went dark, Teju leaned back against the bed, a soft smile lingering on her lips.. Karan wrapped his arm around her, pulling her close, sharing in her contentment. They whispered sweet nothings to each other, cherishing the warmth of their togetherness as they drifted off to sleep, knowing that whatever may come, they had each other and their families by their side.
