Destined to be yours

Chapter 74 | Confrontations

Ahana nodded as she buried her face in Neil's chest trying to forget the subject. Some moments of silence stayed between the couple before the phone's ring tone broke the silence. Ahana sighs as she picked up her phone and answers the call.

Ahana:"Hello?"

Rajeev:"Ahana"( She heard Rajeev's voice from the other end freezing her on her spot while Neil looked on confused )

Ahana:"Ra...rajeev?"

Neil looked at Ahana's shocked as she stared towards him with a conflicted face. Anger rose in Neil as he understood Ahana's conflict. Neil held Ahana's hand as he signaled her as if asking her if he should talk to Rajeev. Ahana shoke her head as she calmed herself down.

Ahana:(Cold stern voice)"What do you want"

Rajeev:"Ahana. you....you got to meet me. I"

Ahana:"What more is left Rajeev. You. "( Before she could complete Neil held her hand and nodded no)

Ahana looked at Neil confused as to why he stopped her. Anger boiled in Ahana remembering all the revelation that were made that day. Rajeev's deeds came in her thoughts one by one but she didn't say anything. She knew Neil had a reason for his actions. She may not know it now but she trusted him. Ahana closed her eyes trying to relax herself before she put the phone on speaker.

Rajeev:"Ahana I know i shouldn't have talked to you like that but you need to realize that I just.... You got married dammit. Ahana was my love that weak that you moved on so fast"( Ahana could feel Rajeev controlling his tone to the best he could. She also understood the fact that he knows nothing about the fact that she knows everything)" Hello ba...I mean Ahana?"

Neil looked at Ahana who was emotionless at the moment. She wanted nothing to do with this man and his fake acting was making her anger raise more. Plus her mood swings weren't helping. Neil pulled her in his embrace as he rubbed her shoulders with his hands trying to calm her down as he encouraged her to answer.

Rajeev:"Ahana? You there?"

Ahana:"What do you want Rajeev "

Rajeev:"I ..  I want to meet you. And Ansh. It's been long Ahana. I want our family"

Ahana:"There is no our family anymore Rajeev. I have moved on if you forgot."( Ahana cut Rajeev off as she spoke in a stern voice)

Rajeev:"Ahana please...just onces I...it's important Ahana."( Neil frowned not liking the idea while Ahana thought of something)

Ahana:"Okay"(She answered shocking Neil  and Rajeev)

Rajeev:"really... great how about..."

Ahana:"Tomorrow...I'll send you the location. Bye"( Ahana cut the call)

Neil:"Why would you do that Ahana. You....  you can't meet him. Ahana you know how dangerous he is."

Ahana:"I have to Neil. It's the only way. I need answers Neil. And At one point I have to confront my past if I want close it. "

Neil:"You don't get it shona it is dangerous. He...he can harm you..plus your pregnant. No...I...I...can't let this happen. No way in hell you meeting him."( He said expressing his fear)

Ahana:"Heyy...it's  okay Neil. I'll be fine I promise. You will be there with me Neil. Just not next to me but you will be close. I know nothing will happen to me as long as you are there"( She said  cupping his cheeks as she tried to reassure him)

Neil:"No Ahana. No matter what I can't risk your life nor our baby's"

Ahana:"Neil...listen to me..."

Ahana tried to reason with Neil but he just got up and left to the balcony for some fresh air. Ahana sighed as she looked at her phone then the back of Neil figure. She texted Rajeev the location and time for tomorrow before again gazing at Neil. She knew he won't like this but she had to do this for her parents. For Aarti. For her family...For Neil...and for herself.
