Coming back to Seher has always been something Arhaan Ahmed knows he has to do at the end. She has been her final destination, always. But today, for once he is afraid, maybe because of all the things that happened in the past few weeks and all the lectures Haris had provided him with.

But along with that, he is nervous, this time he is the one coming to Seher, and hopefully, she will take him with open arms. That's the only thing he can wish for.

◆●◆●◆

Standing in front of Seher's residence only one thing is going on in his mind. In the past two years, not for once has she complained about anything to him, and there is no way she will complain to anyone else.

Today after years he realises, even though she had everyone around, she was alone.

Wo utni khud naa thi

Jitni wo meri thi

Seeing Arhaan coming inside from the front door, everyone is shocked and the only person that would be happy is not present, Saira.

"Arhaan ap yaha?" It's Sunday after all so Ruhaan is here for lunch and dinner. He asked him seeing that no one else will utter a single word.

"For a fact Mr Rizwaan, Seher is my wife."

"Whom you left for twice?" It's Zain

"Ap Arhaan ho?" Ashana asked him running towards him, hugging his legs. He sits on his knees holding her in his arms.

Her innocent eyes remember him of that 13-year-old Seher, the one he had lost his heart to way back. And today again for Ashana. Today he can feel what a father feels like to have a daughter in his arms.

"Haa princess, aur ap Ashana ho?"

"Haa.. par ap toh karwe nahi ho?"

"Who told you I am bitter?" He asked in amusement.

"Seher Mumma."

"Then maybe I am. Do you know who I am? Other than Karwa insaan."

"My baba! Seher mumma told me that."

"My princess...." Hugging her close to his chest he feels peace. A mere call of Baba means the world to him. He will be the best father to Ashana, he makes a silent promise.

The unfolded scene in front of her eyes tells her that how good father Arhaan will be. She always knew it. But seeing how easily Arhaan and Ashana accepted each other, is just like an assurance that this will gonna be fine. He deserves to know, he surely does.

"I need to talk to him, alone," Seher said. Getting the clue, everyone started leaving the hallway, Rubina takes Ashana with her, and Zain stayed a little behind as if warning Arhaan not to mess up this time.

"Seher.." Arhaan started only to cut off by Seher.

"I am pregnant Arhaan.." And that is it, she drops the bomb.

It took a few good seconds for Arhaan to absorb the news, Seher is pregnant, she is carrying a child, his child, he is going to a father, and there are no words he can say to express his happiness, he simply hugged her with that alone tear comes to his eyes, a happy tear.

"What?? That's... so. I am so happy." Taking her in his arms he just hugged her, he is home. Seher loses herself in his arms, he is home, the heartbeats of hers.

Uski mohabbat uske nafrat key parey the

Uski zindagi Seher pey qurbaan

"Leave.." Seher whispers, while Arhaan just tightens his hold. Hiding his face in her neck, he simply doesn't know what should he feel first.

So many emotions are coming into his mind. For now, he just wants to feel Seher close to him, even the idea of having a part of him growing inside Seher makes him feel every happiness. His Seher deserves the world and he will give it. Leaving her again is never an option. He is home now, and his family is here.

"Never in a thousand years Seher Arhaan Ahmed" Arhaan assures.

"It's still Seher Mirza. And leave because that's what you will do again when things go towards the south, you will simply run away, being a coward you are. Because running away from problems is easy than facing it and I have to keep doing everything why, oh because I just can't be like you and ignore the things happening around me.

I can't ignore the shit going around. But you can. You know what, this silent agreement which you have with the problem is not gonna work this time okay, 'you and your problems, both don't like each other so you simply don't face them and this is not gonna happen now.

I am pregnant, and I can take care of my baby very well along with everyone here, so if you are here to leave again then please leave this moment only. I don't want anything from...." Her monologue is cut off by a passionate kiss.

Arhaan has no other way left to shut her and calm her down, she complained, after years she is putting down her fake smiles, she coming back to herself.

All the anger, the frustration, the pain she has trapped in herself is coming to the surface now. And there Arhaan knows this is the first thing he needs her to do.

He wanted Seher to scream at him, to slap him hard but for now, she needs to calm down a bit, she needs to know that he is here and he is not leaving.

"I will not. I will not leave not this time, not even in this life. I am here Seher, I am for you, for your love, I am here Mohtarma"

"You are staying because of the baby...." Seher told him crying her heart out.

"No I am staying because of you, I didn't even know about my baby Seher for speaking out loud, you never bothered to tell me about my baby though everyone around already knows about it.

So please, listen to this and make it a clear note, I am here for you because I am afraid of losing you, you will wait for me till the end I know that but what if I am late again and you don't forget me.

Waiting for me doesn't mean that you will again take me back in your life. I agree I am everything you said about me.

But now that I am here I promise you to do my best to clear my mess." Cupping her cheeks he tells her the reason for his coming back.

He is hurt that she didn't tell him about her pregnancy, what if he is not here then, but at the same time realization hit him.

He saved himself from something worst by coming back at the right time, because even not today, or even a bit of delay would have cost him not only his baby but Seher too.

"I will not forgive you with all these sweet talks. I have been through shits alone Arhaan Ahmed and trust me this time you leave I am leaving you too." Seher warned him.

"I will never give to that chance, Mohtarma. I am not going anywhere and neither you are."

"Ashana...will stay with me."

"With Us you mean."

" I don't have room for you, wo kya hai na khud ki kamayi hai jitna hai yahi hai" As if not having an extra room will make Arhaan leave, she is just making herself clear here.

"Yeh bohot hai. And about the room, I think I already know my wife won't mind if I share a room with her." He said teasing her, still having her in his arms.

"Now you remember you have a wife too. I thought you never will." And she is back now with her complaints, Arhaan sits on the sofa nearby making her sit on his lap, holding her close to his heart.

"I never forgot you, Seher, I never will. You are my Seher, my morning that brings a new hope in me to live every day, I am always coming back to you my love, always. I know I am late but trust me this time I will do everything right. I promise that I keep my promises."

"I will not share my room with you. Tum jao na Maa key pass bada side leti hai tumhara. You know how badly she scold me when I told her that I am not telling you about my pregnancy, she even stopped visiting me since then, and you know when Zain called her to ask about morning sickness she said you won't tell because I am doing wrong with her son. So just go to her, no need to be here."

"Are you jealous Seher Mirza?" He asked in amusement.

"Shut up okay, I have Ammi with me."

"Who certainly have no idea of your mood swings. She loves you I know my Ammi, but about your mood swings, it's complicated you know."

That's true, Rubina always stands with Seher but about her mood swings no one knows, not even Saira herself is much aware of this. But Arhaan is, always been.

"Just get lost, I hate you." She is just not ready to lose her anger.

"I love you more my love." Hugging her tight he holds her close. He knows Seher Mirza in no way is gonna be easy on him now, and with pregnancy no chance, but for her, everything is worth it.

Love makes us do things, crazy things. Now the cunning businessman Arhaan Ahmed is sleeping in the living room, cause apparently last night no one talked to him and his wife just didn't let him inside the bedroom. He was so tired of all the travelling that he simply agreed.

The morning in Seher's place has always been busy. And all the noises hampers Arhaan precious sleep. He groaned as he wakes up by the constant sound of utensils.

Seeing that Rubina is in the kitchen cooking breakfast, he is taken back. Rubina Ahmed used to be the best wife and a great mother. Back in those years, when they used to live in London. She used to do everything on her own, and Ahmed Khan loves to help her.

Coming to India changed many things in their lives, Rubina's way to the kitchen is one of them. After Ahmed Ali, Rubina closed herself in a shell, she never cooked again. In haweli, there were many people appointed as a cook and for all other chaos.

Since then he never met the old Rubina, and the call of Ammi had long lost its way. It was Seher who called her Ammi, after years, and maybe from that moment Rubina made her daughter.

Now looking at this woman in front of her, who happens to be his mother, working like old days. The mere scene makes him realise what he had missed over these two years. They created a life for themselves, having each other as their sole support.

No wonder Rubina will choose Seher before him, anyone will. He worked tirelessly for something which is never required. He wanted Ahad to get all his rights, he left everything because of him, as if it was what his Abbu asked him for. But his Abbu never did something like that, and today it all makes sense to him.

His Abbu asked him to 'be there for Ahad and his Ammi', which he never did. One can't even blame a teenage boy who failed to interpret the meaning of words of a dying man.

And now as he looked around, he can understand what Ahad told him that night was utmost truth. He did everything right by marrying Seher. If he failed in everything, Seher topped in them.

She had been the one holding them together. Rubina got back to her old self, and now he just wants to call her Ammi. Ahad is back to stay near them, he endured a lot but there are some pieces of his life that no one knows. She takes all the responsibility when she should have just left. But that's not Seher Mirza. And for all this, he doesn't even know what to do. If anything, he is just not leaving her again.

She endured a lot. She lost her babies, her previous pregnancy was ectopic pregnancy which causes the miscarriage, he had all the reports with him now, one thing he is thankful about is that Seher is fine, at least physically. And this time he is here for her, for their baby.

Making his way towards the kitchen, he stands near the doorway.

"Ammi?"

"What?"

Though Rubina is a bit shocked by that call, it's been more than a decade he called her Ammi. Even it was a few years back, she would have hugged him tightly crying her heart out to him, telling him how much she had missed him over these years.

But now it's just a shock. She surely loves him a lot, but maybe now she loves Seher a bit more. And why wouldn't she? Her own son left her, but Seher didn't.

All these years, she saw her in pain. Though she complained, even never utter his name in this house, but her old eyes knows it.

For two years many proposals came for Seher, and whenever she rejected them, she felt her heart pain. Seher never deserves all this.

So when the proposal came from Ruhaan Rizwan a year back, she really considered it. For once she wanted to be a mother to Seher first. But Seher is truly her son's love and that day she proved it. She was ready with her resignation the very next day, but Ruhaan Rizwan is not someone who would lose a friend like Seher for some unrequited feelings.

When Seher told him that she is already married, he was very shamefully of his act. He sincerely apologized to her and things were back to normal. But since then, Ruhaan became a part of the family. Sunday brunches and sometimes Friday dinners at her place became a common story.

Now that Arhaan is back, she wants him to rectify his all mistakes. Maybe she will hold him again then. But that moment is yet to come.

"Actually I need a cup of coffee"

"I think you can make it yourself Arhaan, at least you can do that much."

"Yeah sure, but I want it from your hand."

"I know you are trying to mend everything Arhaan, and I really do appreciate that. But honestly, you are not alone at fault here. I failed to raise you two correctly. But Arhaan I can't change the past. I can't change the fact that I became silent for years when I should have looked after you two. What I can do is to do the right thing at the present so that you people can have a better future. Ahad is taking baby steps towards that and I want you to start taking baby steps too, and I will be there for you because no matter how much I like Ruhaan for Seher, her happiness lies with my idiot son. So make sure you don't mess it up this time."

"Yes, Ammi." Hugging her from behind he makes another promise. This time he is here to have it all by himself. He knows Ruhaan have certain feelings for his wife and for that he hated him a lot but he can't just deny the fact that Ruhaan is a nice guy who helped them anyway.

Their little moment is broken by Zoya, the new maid who stays her 24*7,

"Seher baji..."

"What????" Arhaan screamed. The fear of something happening again engulfed him. He just doesn't afford them.

Rushing towards her room, he sees Seher vomiting over the toilet seat. Holding her hair he supports her body. She looks pale and weak. Washing her mouth and brushing her teeth, she leaned back.

Now she has someone to lean back, without the fear of falling again. Her husband is her for her.

"Doctor?" Arhaan asked her.

"Morning sickness is common. Anyhow, I have an appointment today."

"I will come with you."

"Are you sure?"

"Seher we talked about it already."

"Oye hello, I never forgave you okay. So bear with it."

"I will. I always will my love." taking her lips in a passionate kiss, he is in no mood of leaving her.

Taking her in his arms, he made her sit on his lap, without breaking the kiss. Only when he feels the need for oxygen does he let her breathe. His lips find it's way to her collar bone leaving love bites, what should be just a kiss, turns out to be a passionate make-out session.

"Shit... Seher." Arhaan cursed.

"Make my breakfast today" Seher ordered.

"What?

"Make my breakfast today Arhaan."

"I was just kissing you seconds ago and here you want me to make breakfast for you? For a fact, I think Ammi made that for you."

"No, she didn't make it for me. It's for others. And yes I want you to cook for me from now on, all my meal."

"Well that's good because I think I need to take care of your meals, you and my baby need major nutrition."

"Trust me Arhaan Ahmed I will make you regret this line."

"Trust me, Seher Mirza, I won't. I only regret one thing that's leaving you, and other than that I don't. So I will make sure to fulfil all your cravings love, after all, I had seen all those PMSing for years."

"Hate you"

"Love you more Mohtarma."

-----

The first ultrasound of the baby is always special for parents. One will see their child for the first time, see a part of them which they have created together. The epitome of their love. And the moment the heartbeats are heard makes them spill tears. Their baby is growing up.

The same is the case for Seher and Arhaan and adding more to their happiness is that they are having twins. And this time there are no complications. The doctor just asked Seher to have proper rest which Arhaan assured.

For the first time in years, Seher is feeling something more than happiness. She is having twins and this time Arhaan Ahmed Khan is here next to her, this is what she had always wanted. Her childhood love, college affair, her husband and now the would-be father of her twin, next to her, holding her hands as sending a silent promise of never letting them go.

Her trail of thoughts breaks the moment she realises that they are not heading back home, but these familiar roads made her look at him again. It's been years they had left Delhi, years of that stupid college dates, years of those midnight talks and years of that kind of love yet these lanes are just the same.
