Next day morning she left to office, she was nervous and also hesitated, didn't know how to react, how will she face him. At the entrance, Taani looked at Aditya who was talking to the staff smiling, she was staring at him, when he saw her, she immediately looked away, after a min when she looked again, she didn't find him, she looked around, Adi was watching her from far smilingly. She entered inside, she collided with Sanvi, "are kya hogaya,kidher khoye hue ho, or chehre pe barah kyu baje hai", "nothing", "accha listen, Sir tumhe bola rahe hai", "mujhe par kyu", "woh toh andar jaa ke baad hi pata chalega" teasingly as she know about the proposal, Ritvik told her, Taani hesitatingly went,Aditya looked up, "Ms.Taani yeh iss document mein errors hai isse ek bar check kar lijiye" handing her files, she kept looking at him,'yeh itna normal kaise behave kar rahe hai' she thought, "Ms.Taani" called out loudly to get her attention, "hmm yes sir" she took the file and hurriedly went out.Taani kept her thoughts aside started working, she completed the work, she got call from Anvi

Taani - wow bhabhi apne itna sab kuch kar bhi liya, your the best
Anvi - I know, chalo finish your work bye
She cut the call smiling, she got such loving people maybe to meet this amazing people she had to go through the miseries.
Arjun called Adi to his cabin to explain about the same, the meeting with Taani.
Taani was having her food during lunch alone as Sanvi went to washroom, she saw Adi looking at her intensely she was looking nervously at him, her heartbeats raised, at his intense gaze. He walked to her, she fisted her dress, he went passed her, saw her fisted hands and smirked at his effect on her.
Here Adi got ready came to Taani's home, she opened the door, he was mesmerized "you look beautiful" he complimented, "thank you" blushing she said. "Aap bhi", "what beautiful" teasing her, she shook her head, "no you look handsome" said in a soft voice, "thank you" he said smiling at her

They sat on the chairs where the arrangements are made, "this looks so nice" Adi said looking at the arrangements,
Taani - yeah bahut accha arrangements kiya hai bhabhi ne
Adi - ok before we go further I want to confess, I really like you from the moment I saw you in office, but knowing you daily my feelings grew more stronger, you don't have to say anything about it right now, take your time let's know eachother more better
Taani felt a lil overwhelmed, liked the way he said everything without hesitation.
Adi - aapke hobbies kya hai
Taani - I love cooking or aap
Adi - I like singing
Taani - you sing
Adi - yeah I play guitar too
Taani - wow, will you teach me, I used to sing in school competition then as I grow up I got stage fear
Adi - I would love to teach you, that's ok you can overcome with it, well even I used sing in competition in school, college now when I get some time I sing in concerts too
Taani - wow that's great, maine aaj tak concerts pe nahi gayi ho
Adi - ok then next concert I'll take you, will you come
Taani - I would love to, with a smile
Adi - umm if you don't mind me asking why did you agree to this proposal
After a moment of hesitation, she said, "woh tauji or taiji said and I know they'll always wish good for me, so I agreed", Adi smiled gently at her honesty,
Adi - you don't have to worry, we will proceed only when your comfortable ok
Taani nodded smiled a lil, she thought it's better to tell him about her past, looking her in thoughts, Adi kept his hand on hers, "Taani what happened you are ok", "umm yeah woh mujhe kuch confess karna hai", "yeah say", "woh" she looked unsure how to say, " Taani relax if you aren't comfortable then it's fine baba" gently rubbing her palm with his thumb, "nahi aise baat nahi hai,I'm comfortable with you", " ok let's sit there" pointing to the sofa, he didn't leave her hand ,sat " ab boliye jo bhi bolna hai, remember I'll never judge you ok", Taani felt relief with his statement, " I used to love someone" she blurts out, he looked surprised, "do you still love him" asked hoping to be a 'No', "No" she said immediately, "won't you ask, what happened" looking at him , "no I believe it's your past and as I said I'll never judge you for anything or anyone", she couldn't hold herself, her tears started flowing, he panicked looking at her tears, "hey what happened", she brokedown and told him everything that happened in the past, her ex, her brother and his friends behaviour towards her, the reason for the breakup. Adi took her in a hug, she hugged him, hiding her face in his chest,

a comforting hug is all she wanted from so long, all this emotions were bottled up in her, she didn't wanted to talk about it to anyone, actually she didn't have anyone to talk, but Adi felt like a home she craved for. Adi kept caressing her back, pecking her hairs,let her cry because this was needed, she need to empty her pain,
Adi - bas baccha you cried enough, don't waste your precious tears on them, pecking her forehead
Taani looked at him with love from his chest, he kissed her eyes, he thought to distract her mind, "I never had any serious relationship, matlab I had gf but we were not serious about it" Taani just hummed, "Taani baccha look at me" cupping her cheeks,she looked at him, "you can't hold on to people who didn't value you, you need to let them go, they were the people who went in search of gold and lost the diamond and your Kohinoor, the most precious, ab har kisi ke naseeb mein kohinoor toh nahi hota, right" rubbed his nose with her, she giggled, "I like you" blurted giggling, "what" he looked shocked, "yeah" she said chuckling at his reaction, he hugged her tighter, "you make me so happy Jaan", she blushed on 'jaan', coming out of hug he saw the blush on her face, he looked in her eyes,then on lips, he moved close and asked in his husk voice "may I" she closed her eyes in anticipation, he smiled and took her in a ever so gentle yet passionate kiss. After breaking the kiss,she hid her face in his chest to hide her blush,he chuckled
they sat in the comfortable silence, he realised it's late, looked at her,found her asleep,he smiled carried her to her bedroom, made her laydown gently tried not to disturb her sleep, he looked at her caressing her cheeks, she look so innocent, he was furious 'how can anyone hurt her,the way her ex and her brother did, she's so loving and kind' pecking her forehead,left from their locking the door.
Adi went home and found the younger clan waiting in his room to know what happened, he told them everything, they were happy to know they both like eachother, but also were furious to know about her past,felt proud on her, the respect for her grew more.
Swayam tried to ask his father,lot of times, he didn't get any response, either his father would not receive the call or would cut his calls saying he's busy, his mother too was very hurted from his behaviour, she refuse to talk about Taani to him.
