Kaya POV:-
I am so happy today.
Tanish and Teja love each other, and that's what I want.
I know Teja didn't want to marry, but she is marrying because of me.
I also know Tanish insulted Teja in the past.
I knew about it when I saw the video of Akaash's proposal.
But, I react in front of Teja that I didn't know anything about it.
I don't know if she will be ever happy with Akaash.
I am not liking Tanish because of his position and money.
I like it because Tanish can give her a happy family.
Tanish's parents treated my daughter as their own.
They taught Tanish to become a good husband.
I saw how Tanish took care of my daughter when she got sick.
I know he will never hurt her.
When they look at each other, it shows love and cares for each other.
Their gaze is intense for each other.
I am taking Teja with us right now, so she can take a full bath with haldi.
I left Teja in the bathroom and waiting out with Bubbly.
Bubbly left the room as her phone rang.
Bubbly is happy with Jasminder.
Jasminder is the opposite personality of Tanish.
Tanish is an arrogant, cold, and strict personality. He wants to achieve everything which he wants.
Jasminder is a sweet, sensible, calm type of personality.
Jasminder is a shy type in romance.
Yes, Tanish always flirts with my daughter in front of us. But Jasminder never flirts in front of us. I saw them teasing each other when no one is seeing them.
It made me laugh that how opposite personalities my daughters got for their life partners.
Bubbly flirts with Jasminder in front of everyone, and he blushed.
I like Jasminder when he saved my Bubbly from gangsters and took her home with safety.
My daughters get their knight in shining armor.
I hope they didn't suffer like me.
They live happy life with their life partners.
In that way, I will die with happiness.
" Maa! " I heard Teja's voice, and I look at her in a rose color saari.
" Teju, you are looking breathtaking, dear. " I compliment her, and she blushed.
" Thanks, maa. You need to take a shower too. " Teja said, and I nodded.
I stood up, but suddenly I felt dizzy, and my balance stumbled.
But Teja held me and asked, " Maa, are you alright? Did you take your medicines before the haldi ceremony? "
I bit my tongue and smiled at Teja innocently.
She made me sit on the bed and left me in the room.
I sighed, but the pain in my head increased, and I tightened the fist in my hair.
Tears formed in my eyes and come out one by one.
Damn!!!
It hurts terribly.
Teja entered and helped me drink orange juice.
I need to drink or eat something before I take my medicine.
After two minutes, she gave me my medicines, and I took them.
My eyelids become heavy, and I lost my consciousness.
Teja POV:-
I am looking at my mother, who is looking so pale and lifeless.
I laid her on the bed comfortably and went to the bathroom to take a towel.
I wet it and wipe the turmeric from my mother's face and hands.
When I finished, I put the towel on the side table and sit beside her.
" Maa, I will not let you die with pain. That is your time to live a happy life now. You can't die now. You need to live a long life.
Maa, you suffered so much because of me.
Please, maa, give me a chance, so I can give you the happy life you deserved. " I said and sighed while looking at her with teary eyes.
" Di, I- " Bubbly entered, and before she completed her sentence.
I shushed her, and she looks at me with confusion.
I gestured her towards maa, and she nodded.
She came near me and whispered, " Why mom is sleeping right now? she didn't even change clothes. "
" Mom is tired right now, dear. Let her take a nap. " I replied.
She sat beside me and said, " Di, when she found out about her illness. Her face shows happiness.
She was happy with the fact she is dying.
I don't want to lose her.
Doesn't she love us? "
I looked at her and her eyes filled with tears.
" No, dear. Maa wasn't happy because she doesn't love us.
She was happy that her responsibilities were almost complete before dying.
Her last responsibility is my marriage which is happening because of Tanish." I replied with a cold face.
" Di, why your face doesn't show any emotions.
I want my cheerful sister, who always fights with me.
We maybe tease each other and laugh, but your bubbly nature disappeared.
Your shining eyes aren't shining anymore with liveliness.
Don't you want to marry Tanish jiju(Brother-in-law)? " Bubbly asked, and I sighed, closed my eyes for a while, and look at her again.
" Bubbly, what happened in the past made me lost interest in liveliness.
I am living but not with the same passion from when I lost my first baby girl.
You know very well how much I love children.
But, that happiness met me crushing my dignity. I want to accept and cherish that hope, but my fate snatched that hope from me.
I love Tanish, and that's the reason I am gonna marry him on my birthday. " I explained.
I hugged my baby sister, and she hugged me back with the same passion.
I know how much she cried when she found out that I had a miscarriage.
I know how much she suffered because of me.
I know how society insulted her because of me.
She suffered so much like me, and I am happy that she got a perfect life partner.
We left the room and came downstairs.
Everyone is sitting, talking, and laughing with each other.
I eye contact with mom, and she smiled at me and gestured me to sit beside Tanish.
Jassi, Bubbly, Tanish, and I sit on the same couch.
Tanish's parents and Jassi's parents sit on the second couch beside me.
My so-called father and grandma are sitting on the couple's couch.
" Teja, where is your mom? " Mom asked.
" Mom, she is resting as she got weak suddenly. " I replied with a sad smile.
Rajshree POV:-
I looked at my daughter and son, who is looking at each other.
When my son put his hand on Teja's shoulder, she becomes stiff, and Tanish gave her an encouraging smile which she returned with a sad smile.
I know Teja is getting marry to Tanish because of Kaya.
I don't know why but I felt something strange between Tanish and Teja.
They behave like something else in front of us.
Raj laughed at my intuition, but I am a mother.
And a mother's intuition is telling me that Tanish is doing something with Teja that Teja didn't like.
I saw fear and anxiety in Teja's eyes whenever she is with Tanish.
But, why?
But yes, I am happy that my children are getting married to each other.
I have warned Tanish already, so I know he will never disobey me.
Maybe Teja is anxious because of the intimation with Tanish.
I know she is suffering because of her past.
Her nightmares never left her.
I know she is taking medicines.
I think Raj is right.
Maybe I am really taking fake stress.
But, I know Teja's situation. I know how painful it is for her.
How difficult is it for her to adjust to her home and new life?
I remember my talk with Kaya when I come to know about her divorce decision.
Flashback:-
I am arranging the breakfast on the dining table.
Raj is reading his newspaper as always.
I snatched the newspaper from her and yelled, " Raj, you will never understand my words, right? "
He looked at me and pulled me in his lap. I blushed as maids left the room while laughing at us.
" You shameless man!!! You will never leave your romance for a minute.
You know very well that our son is going to marry soon still you behave like this.
When Teja comes to our house, are you going to behave like this? Huh!!! " I asked with a huff.
He chuckled and kissed my forehead.
This man surely knows how to control my mind.
" Oh, honey. You are the love of my life. When our son and daughter aren't in front of us we can romance with each other at that time. " Raj whispered in my ear and bit it lightly.
I controlled myself and stood up from his lap.
" No, my dear husband.
If you dare to pull this stunt again in front of anyone then you are going to sleep in the guest room, what do you think? " I threatened him with an evil smile.
He gave me a feared looked and nodded like an obedient child.
I laughed at his tactics, and he laughed too.
I looked at Tanish, who is looking in a foul mood.
Raj stopped laughing and look at Tanish with confusion.
Tanish didn't even greet us and sat on the chair.
" Tanish, what happened, son? " I asked worriedly.
" I am so dissapinted mom with Teja, mom. " Tanish replied sarcastically.
" What happened, son? " Raj asked.
" Mom, Teja wants me to contact a lawyer for her parent's divorce. She wants this divorce done as soon as possible.
How can he think like that?
If her parents are fighting because of some misunderstanding, so she can solve that problem.
For god sake, she is a neurosurgeon.
But, no, she is supporting their divorce decision. " Tanish explained, and Raj and I smiled while looking at each other.
" Mom, Dad, why are you smiling now? " Tanish asked with irritation.
" Because we are happy with Teja's decision.
You don't know anything about their life, Tanish.
Remember one thing, never come to the conclusion before knowing both side situation. " Raj said and I nodded.
" Tanish, it's not our side to tell you anything about their life. But, I will tell you one thing that those daughters and mother trio suffered a lot throughout their life. " I said and he looks at me with confusion.
He sighed and said, " alright, mom. I respect Teja and her mother's decision. I will tell my lawyer to make their divorce paper as soon as possible. "
We nodded and have our breakfast.
Soon Tanish left for his office and I said to Raj, " Raj, we need to meet Kaya. "
He nodded and we called our driver and ordered him to go to Teja's home and brought Kaya here.
We called Kaya and told her about it.
After an hour, Kaya entered through the door with an excited smile.
I know she is very happy that finally, she is free from that unwanted marriage.
" Kaya!!1 " I yelled and run toward her and hugged her tightly.
" Oh my, Rajshree. You became heavy day by day. " Kaya said with a teasing smile and I pinched her cheeks.
" You are becoming weak day by day. Why don't you take care of yourself? " I asked worriedly.
" Raj!!! Hello! " Kaya hugged Raj friendly.
Raj greeted her back.
Then Kaya turned and look at me with a sad smile.
We come towards the hall and sat on the couch.
" Rajshree, it's not that I am not taking care of myself.
My chances are very low to survive my illness.
My blood cancer isn't in the initial stage as Teja told me. But it's in the third stage. I have talked to my doctor when Teja was in surgery.
They told me the truth that I am in the third stage and my cancer spread to my other parts.
I am malnourished. So it's difficult for me to take the treatment. " Kaya explained and we got shocked.
" Oh, God, Kaya... Don't worry. You will be fine. I want to talk about something important. " I said in one go.
I looked at Raj and he nodded.
" Kaya, please, I want you to live with us. Please pretty please. " I pleaded to Kaya.
She got shocked and said, " No, Rajshree. I can't live here. This is Teja's husband's home. No, I can't. "
" No, you will live with us and I know Tanish didn't have any problem with your living here. You will live here or I will come with you wherever you going to live after the divorce. " I blackmailed her.
Raj and Kaya look at me with shock and I smiled internally.
Kaya huffed and said, " Fine, but then I want you to do something for me. "
" Sure, tell me, what do you want? " I asked.
" I want you to arranged a different home for Tanish and Teja as my body will become weak day by day.
I don't want Teja to worry about me and forget about her newly married life. " Kaya requested and I nodded immediately.
" Sure, after all, I want that too. " I said with a toothy smile.
