Between Two Hearts 

"The Court grants permission for divorce under mutual concern for Mr. and Mrs. Hooda – and as decided the custody of their children Adya and Aarush . Adya's custody will go to Ms.Sharma and Aarush custody will be going to Mr.Hooda"

Hooda Mansion After One Month in Delhi

"Papa" Aarush holds his palm tightly as He looks down "I want to meet Adu please"

"Aarush –Behave –We are not going to meet her or Your Mama –So it's better you forget them" He yells at the Little boy and swiftly removes his hold on his palm and walks out of the Mansion .

The Little boy runs into his bedroom while pushing his little frame into the fluffy bed once he shared with his twin sister . The cries of his filled the four walls as he tried muffling his sobs . curled up he cried for the days where he longed to be held by his parents fondly but all he'd ever witnessed was the screams and the curses they threw at each other not caring about him witnessing their fights . In the deafening silence it was his twin sister he would hold onto as they would hug each other and cuddle to sleep . His Adu would ruffle his hairs during the nights where he would cry when their parents would strangle each other with words .

"It would be okay Aaru—We are going to be okay—You have me and I have you –that's enough for us" She would whisper them into his ears while holding him tightly against her little frame .

Aarush always did wonder how could his twin sister be so strong and smile despite not getting the love of their parents? They were just six but he always felt like he was younger than Adya . Now that she is taken away by his mother he is left all alone by himself

"I miss you—Adu" He cries holding their picture close to his chest where they had taken it during their birthday last year She had wrapped her right arm around his shoulder while kissing on his cheek . Few minutes older to him she always adorned the hat of the elder sister who protected him from all the problems that come by.

"Champ" Aarush blinking by his tears while batting his lashes up to see the owner of the voice . If Adya was his other half . His Chachu was and will always be the father figure in their life .Whenever their parents would clash it was their Chachu who would walk into their room with three plates of food despite the tiring and the exhausted day he would have gone through.

He would cocoon them in his embrace and wipe away his tears and kiss their temples "It is going to okay" he would whisper just like his Adu and feed them while time to time wiping away his pearl tears that would drop .

As much as His Adu was strong when His Chachu would hug her , her tears would drop down from her chocolate –dark brown orbs . More than him Adu was close to his Chachu , She was taken after him She loved Art while he had a interest in dancing just like his Maasi. She loved eating Bananas with a Mug of Milk just like his Chachu and He would just laugh at them as they looked no more than monkeys . He loved Daal Chawal and Golgappes just like his Maasi . His Chachu always slept with them in their room whatever time it was he gets home from work.

"Chachu" Aarush claws to his lap while sobbing leaning onto his chest "Mama took away My Adu –I need her Chachu—Papa isn't letting me go to them"

"Where is My Big Boy?—My Champ—How can you cry for this little thing? –Even I miss Adya –We are going to meet them soon"

"Sachi?" He asks with smile while his Chachu wipes away his tears that kept falling despite him trying to control

"Muchi" He pinches Aaru's little nose making him scrunch

"No pinch my nose Chachu"

His Chachu laughs at him and pinches again and act Aarush hates a lot but his Chachu just loves to irritate him .

Aditya ends up coughing loudly as Aarush gives him glass of water "What happened Chachu?"

"Nothing"

"Someone might thinking about you" Aarush says then giggling he says "Might be Maasi is scolding you"

His Chachu looks at him while giving him a fake glare "Only that Your Maasi knows to do – is always pick up on me"

"When can we see Adu and Maasi –Chachu—it's been a Month Chachu –I miss them a lot!" He asks sadly while playing with his Rolex watch which was draped around His Chachu's wrist

"Soon Champ" He hugs his Chachu tighter feeling him letting out a sigh

After Few Hours

Aarush sits on the hall while trying to solve the math's sum.

"4 multiple 3 is 11 " Aarush tries counting with his fingers but fails He pouts "If Adu was here –Adu would have helped me" He mutters sadly "Let me ask Chachu"

He slumps down huffing on the couch with his palms tucked under his chin "Chachu left for work –can't you remember Aarush? He asked you to be good boy? Didn't he?"

"Papa" Aarush calls see his Papa walking in but soon frowns finding a woman clinging onto his Papa

"Aarush"

"Papa can you help with this sum?" He walks up to him with the book in his hand and holds his wrist

"Baby –I thought we could have some pleasurable time but seems like your son needs you"

"Oh no baby –you are my first preference " He replies while kissing the lady on her lips not caring that his son was watching him disgustingly

Aarush looks away as angry tears wells up seeing his Father walking away with the lady not even bothered to reply while give him a glare. He throws his book angrily and runs to his room. Each day his Father would bring a new woman and take her to his room . Aarush didn't know what his Father does with that Woman the whole night but the next morning the lady would leave with his father .

He always slept with his Chachu for the past month in his Chachu's room . He drops on the bed angrily while cuddling to the pillow furiously punching the pillow angrily due his father's actions

"What's wrong Aarush?" His Chachu hugs him from behind .

"Why is Papa like this Chachu? –he always brings an Aunty home and I don't know what he does even" He cries. Aarush could see his Chachu palms bunching in a fist angrily

'You wait here-I'll come soon" His Chachu kisses on his forehead while pulling the duvet over him and walks out leaving him alone .

***

He knocks the door furiously – His knuckles turning white as his eyes were boiling with fire . The door opens and he hears an irritated voice coming from the other end

"What the F*ck—Why the hell are you disturbing?"

"Aren't you even ashamed to bring a random woman home everyday that too front on your own son?"

He waves his hands dismissing annoyed "This is my House and My Room why do I need to care? And son – I do not give a damn about the son of that B**ch!"

"Are You freaking real Yash?" He yells angrily "That little boy is so broken and longs that one day you would see him with love and care But You –Disgusting!"

"Just Shut-up Aditya! I do not care about him or his Mother or neither anyone—I am a free bird and I can do anything !"

"Then Why the hell did you ask for his custody?" Aditya spits at him his blood boiling seeing the appearance of his brother who was all sweaty his hairs messed up while his shorts hang dangerously low on his hips and with scratches on his naked torso

"For My Ego!—I wanted to show my ex-wife even I had a right over something which she gave birth too !—and why are you even bothered anyways? –are you here to give me a lecture of how to be a good father?"

"Five minutes Yash! –Dress up decently and be down –if not I wouldn't hesitate to walk in and pull that –lady of yours out" Aditya threatens him and walks down the stairs as Yash punches the wall angrily .

Yash was Married to Pooja Sharma due to his late father Harshwadan Hooda's wishes of Merging with the Sharma's .He felt attracted to Pooja on their first meet and it was the same with her –not even caring about the party that were on full swing they made out on their first meet and later on they got addicted that they wanted to marry off soon . First few months of Marriage went fine with their lust and desires for each other but it turned ugly when she found out she was pregnant . They didn't wanted a child so decided to abort but unlikely their fathers found out and threatened to disown if they killed the child . Soon differences and fights broke out each day and when the child was delivered . They wanted to divorce but their fathers didn't allow them too . So they did what they only had left , to throw words at each other not caring about the twins who longed for their love and then a year back their fathers met with an accident who traveled in the same car and died on the spot . Not having anyone to cross in their paths they filed for divorce and got separated.

"What did you want to talk about late night?" Yash asks groaning while sitting next to Aditya

"It is about Aarush" Aditya replies

"What about that thing?" Yash asks disinterestedly

"Stop calling him a thing-He is your child for god sake!"

"Can we just finish it off soon?" Yash dismisses his reply and asks

Gritting his teeth Aditya replies calmly "I do not like you bringing random woman home!"

"This is my home—"

Aditya cuts him off "I have the half right to all the properties"

Yash controls his temper "What do you want me to do?"

"I told it before!"

"I am going abroad!" Yash says

"Then Aarush?" Aditya asks raising a brow

"I am going to send him to a boarding school—I cannot take him with me probably –If I do he would circle around me annoying the hell"

Aditya grits his teeth "Let me get this thing right –Go wherever you want to –but Aarush is not going to a boarding school—Take care of Our businesses abroad but I need my Share returns on time and Dare you play the fool –I would talk to the Board of Directors and Get you removed from the CEO position—I'll take care of the business here and send your share returns on time—Got it?"

Yash nods disinterred "Whatever –I am leaving tomorrow" He says and rushes to his room to continue the business he left halfway

Aditya looks at him disgustingly Although Yash was elder to him by two years they never shared a good bond –Yash was always the playboy type and Aditya hated it –playing around with woman's feelings –when His Dad had suggested of Marrying Pooja to Yash Aditya had been apprehensive knowing Yash isn't the marriage type but when he had coincidently witnessed them making out behind a pillar he had thought they might work out but it never happened. He always felt sorry and bad for the twins who craved for their parents' love – He always tried to fill that place in their hearts by giving them the love but with the divorce –the twins got separated –How he wished he was in India when this happened? He would have stopped –Now he is trying to locate where his Ex-Babhi Pooja left with Adya

"Aarush—It is going to be a new start for both Us from Tomorrow-" Aditya kisses his forehead who was sleeping with tear stains dried on his cheeks while pulling Aarush on top of him and patting him softly .

***

In Mumbai

"Finally –Let me breathe the air of Freedom" Pooja laughs while taking a gulp of Vodka

"Have Some Zoya" Pooja pours another glass as Zoya walks in angrily

"Why did you take the custody of Adya?" Zoya asks straightaway with her hands tried around her chest puffing out in anger .Zoya was angry at herself that she had to go to Bangalore for One of her College Programs during this time –If She was here she might have done something and not let the twins get separated"

"Is that even a question? –I am her mother after all!"

Zoya lets out a mocking chuckle "Mother? – Had you even once lived for its definition?"

"Okay fine!—I wanted to show that Moron that's why I took her custody!"

"Didi –Stop this –Your ego would destroy you one day –You had separated Adya from Her twin brother—It's a sin!"

"Oh Shut—up I don't care about his daughter nor his son !—Just let me live the life I want too !"

Zoya looks at her surprised and disgusted "Has Papa brought up with this values di? –How good did he bring us up then why are you like this?"

"Ya yaa his Values and ideologies only destroyed me –I could have got my freedom long back but he didn't let me!"

Pausing Pooja Continues "I need to dress up –Rajveer is coming over –We are going for a date—and don't wait up for me the whole night –I might not turn up" she ends the last bit winking making Zoya annoyed as she stamps out of the room .

Adya wipes the tears that were freely falling as she caresses her twin brother's face "I know you are in pain Aaru –I can feel you despite being miles apart—I miss you too Aaru -- Please hold down My baby bro—Your Adu would come to you soon"

"I miss him too" Adya tilts her head to see her Maasi sitting next to her . She hugs Zoya tightly as Zoya runs her fingers through Adya's hairs and kisses on her forehead

"Why did they do this to Us Maasi? –If they hate us they should have let us alone but no for their own fights they separated me from Aaru—My poor boy he would all crying and –"

"Your Chachu would take care of him – You know that naah?" Zoya tells lovingly while kissing on top of her head .

Adya looks up with her eyes full of tears "He would—I miss him to Maasi"

Adya tightens her hold around Zoya's stomach If not for her Chachu and her Maasi she would have broken long back as much she tried to be strong front of Aarush she would breakdown when her Chachu or her Maasi would hug her . She too craved for her parents Affection. Her Maasi would always pick them up from school and spend some time with them playing and taking them out of lunch and ice-cream . Her Maasi would always tell her to be the strong girl she is and protect her brother when She isn't around . Her Chachu and Her Maasi do not get along well they always end up bickering like Tom and Jerry but it would be adorable so she and Aaru would always sit with a cup of ice-cream and enjoy them bickering . They fought always for silly reasons .

"Who fights for what color we –I mean Me and Aaru wear for the day they had decide take us out together ?"

Maasi loves Salman while Her Chachu likes Sharukh khan –So always a Planned Movie day goes with She and Aarush watching an action movie of their Maasi and Chachu !

When Maasi comes over to stay-that's a different story—Maasi and Chachu would bring snacks when they come home and they would fight on what She and Aarush should eat first. And What She and Aarush does it to take the packets unknown to their knowledge and have them. Aarush had his Maasi's traits and love for Golgappes while She was like her Chachu .

And Don't start on their passion "Dancing and Art! –Maasi ends up spilling all his paints and breaking his canvas into two while Chachu ends up breaking her Music CD's . and She and Aarush had to chide them where they would listen like kids caught red-hand and clean each other's things and buying new ones and gift each other with glares that would end up heating each other's blood .

They get along only in one as they would chide her parents for fighting front of them. When She and Aaru would be sad and down they would hug them close and mumble "Everything is okay babies—We love you" and during that particular day they would play with Her and Aarush giggling and laughing but still taunting each other but it would always be fun and cute .On their insistence Her Maasi and Her Chachu would share a friendly hug but Still She or neither Aarush could understand what happens when they hug . They would still in their places and look into each other's eyes lovingly and Adya could swear that they would hear their breathing so loudly and then they would leave each other awkwardly and not talk to each other for that particular time .

"Can We meet them Maasi?" Adya asks softly while sniffing back her tears

"We will –soon my baby" Zoya says while kissing her cheeks "Now where is my strong girl?—Come now let's have lunch then how about we watch 'Finding Nemo?"

Adya shakes her head looking down "Finding Nemo is his favorite Maasi—I do not want to watch alone –I want My Aaru Maasi-please"

"Oh My baby girl—"Zoya hugs her hurriedly as Adya bursts out crying again from coming to this world with each other by their side from growing up to holding each other and loving each other –how would it be easy to be parted? Adya and Aarush had been each other's half

"I'll tell you a little secret?" Zoya says softly as she carries Adya in her arms who was crying .

"Haan" Adya says while sniffing

Zoya places her on the counter top and pinches her nose "Maasi" She whines while rubbing her nose She hates when someone pulls her nose

"You and Chachu are the same" She grumbles still pouting as Zoya stops remembering the man with horns who always likes to always trouble her

"No we aren't" Zoya says scrunching her nose

"Ya ya" Adya rolls her eyes earning a tickle from her Maasi

"Okay-okay—Fine—You both are not" She giggles and says trying to make peace asking her Maasi to stop. Zoya stops as the little girl sticks her tongue out

"Now tell me what's the secret?—Is Aaru and Chachu coming to see us?" Adya asks swiftly too happy with the thought. Zoya shakes her head making the sparkle in her eyes fall

"The?" Adya asks sadly as Zoya leans in more

"Walls have ears" Zoya says with her eyes big looking around moving more forward to the little girl making Adya giggle cupping her mouth .

"You are such a drama queen Maasi—Chachu is right"

"He said –I am a Drama Queen?" Zoya asks raising her brow while glaring at Adya

"He did" Adya giggles not sacred about her Maasi's glare

"What else did he tell?" She asks annoyed

"That You are A Ziddi (Stubborn) – Short Minion! – Wild Billi (Cat) –Many more Maasi I can't remember" , Adya tells while dangling her legs on the kitchen top and pushing away her bangs that were falling off her forehead . She giggles seeing the murderous glare on her Maasi's eyes Sorry Chachu She giggles loudly making Zoya narrows her brows

"Your Chachu is a Chuha (rat) –He is a Grownup Buffalo who doesn't even know basic Manner s—Who pulls a girl's hairs? –Your Chachu does it when he is angry—such a angry bull always ready to pounce on me –He had grown horns on his head – That Jahanpannah –Urghh—I so hate him—He thinks he is handsome but he is such ugly pig!"

Adya giggles loudly as Zoya goes on scolding her poor Chachu who by now might be coughing badly . Zoya stops as Adya's giggles dies down . She looks Adya who was fiddling with her fingers sadly

"I miss Chachu –Maasi'

Zoya sighs "No one loves me—Only Chachu" She fakes an anger

"Ohh Maasi—You are such a baby just like Chachu says" She throws her little arms around Zoya's neck

"What does your Chachu say?"

"You are a Bachcha" Adya giggles seeing Her Maasi all worked up ready for the second round of scolding her Chachu

"What's the secret Maasi?" She asks quickly stopping her Maasi from throwing beautiful words at her Chachu

"I am going to move to Delhi" Zoya says

Adya removes her hands around Zoya's neck as she looks the other side puffing out in anger while tying her little arms around her chest "You too are going to leave me –go then"

Zoya laughs while pulling her nose making Adya make faces "Yes I am going—" Adya looks at her intently while holding onto her breath "But I am taking My Doll with me"

"Sachi (Really)?" Her eyes widens surprised as she throws herself on her Maasi happily

"Muchi" Zoya laughs seeing the little girl's excitement as she hugs her tighter

"But Mama?" Adya moves back from her embrace and asks sadly

"She gave me permission" Zoya tells happily She doesn't care Adya whether you live or not but I cannot break your heart but saying the truth—your parents only got your custodies the satisfy their egos – My Poor Babies –Don't worry Maasi is going to love you like my own—On God's grace if we get a chance to meet Aarush we will take him too with us and move away –Your Maasi can take care of both of you alone"

"I Love you so much Maasi" Adya kisses on her cheeks hardly making Zoya chuckle "Now Maasi not Chachu's side?"

"Ahh—Maasi—that –" Adya scratches her head She would always take her Chachu's side while Aarush was on his Maasi's side

"I am always team Maasi but Chachu would feel bad haina so I used to pretend like I am on his side"

"My Naughty girl has started lying too" She tells in a muffled voice while pulling Adya's nose who scrunches her nose swatting her Maasi's palm making Zoya giggle

"Chachu ki Chamchi!"

Adya giggles while hugging her pouting Chachi .

Delhi

It's been a Week Since Zoya and Adya moved out of Mumbai and settled in Delhi . It wasn't easy to settle in a new place and get used to the people around plus Zoya was a known face to everyone . She is One of the Billionaires Second Child and people around did wonder why she is living a small apartment with the middle class people .

Zoya took hand of Her Papa's Business in Delhi. Zoya had admitted Adya to the same school and in the same class Aarush studies and that was going to be a surprise to Adya . Zoya had collected details through her private detective who had reported to her saying "Yash is currently abroad"

Currently Zoya was getting dressed to meet Aditya who she had ringed up few hours back nervously whether to talk to him or not , given that they share a dislike to each other .

"Hi" Aditya waves at her soon as he witnesses in the café looking around for him

"Hi" She gives a meek reply while taking the opposite

"How are you?" He asks her

"Good . You?" She replies back

"How is everything going?" He asks back

"Screw it Aditya –We know we aren't here to talk about Us!"

"Can't You be Civil for once?' Aditya frowns

"Actually it is awkward to have a civil conversation with an equally awkward person"

"You haven't changed –Not even bit!" Aditya replies amused making her make faces at him

"How is Adya –Zoya?—I miss my little girl " Aditya asks sobering up with a smile remembering Adya

"She is all good and she doesn't miss her Chachu at all" Zoya tells winks making him chuckle

"Grow up –Young lady"

" Ahh You too Man-Child" She sticks her tongue out making him chuckle

"How is Aarush?"

"He of course misses his Maasi "

"Apparently he has to-after all I am the One and only Beautiful Maasi he has"

"I can't see one around" Aditya looks around the restaurant tilting his head sideways

"What?"

"Beauty"

Zoya narrows her eyes as she slaps his palm which was placed on the table "I so hate you"

"As if I said I loved You Baby Bunny"

"Hey—Stop calling me Bunny!"

"Then is Baby Fine?" Aditya asks leaning towards her with a wink as her mouth goes 'O' shaped

"Bohot Badtameez hogaye Aditya (You have become too mischievous)" Despite trying to control herself from smiling her eyes sparkles up as she pushes him back earning a small chuckle from him .

"Adya misses Aarush –Aditya"

"Aarush cries asking for Adya at nights" Aditya says sadly

"It is their birthday in two days – How about You bring Aarush with You and I bring Adya with me? –We will take them out"

"That's sounds so good – So A Birthday Bash it is!" Aditya says smiling

They did not know when time passed discussing about the kids and the surprise they are planning to give the twins. Zoya walks out of the café followed by Aditya .

"I wish I could come meet Adya/Aarush" They both tell simultaneously and chuckle

"We'll give them a surprise" Aditya says smiling as they walk to the parking lot .

"Zoya" Aditya calls her as she opens the car door to get in

"Yes"

Zoya gasps as Aditya takes her in a quick hug "Take care" giving her a soft kiss on her cheeks he walks away smiling as She stood there shocked with her jaw hanged down and a palm placed on her cheek

"What just happened?" She mumbles while getting in - a rosy tinge appears on her already rosy cheeks as she drives home with a smile adorning her lips .

Zoya picks Adya from her friend's place . Adya plays with Zoya's mobile while driving back home as she asks Zoya "Did You meet Chachu , Maasi?"

Zoya stops the car with a screech surprised and shocked as she turns to look at Adya "No baby—Why?"

"No You have gone all red and you are grinning like an idiot – that always happens when you see Chachu"

Zoya blinks her eyes shocked as she composes herself Am I all red? No naah Zoya –that too seeing that Jerk –Naah ! Never "I am not—that too seeing your Chachu never!" She replies defensively

"Maasi" Adya whispers and using her fingers she asks to come closer as Zoya moves closer

. Adya cups her ears as she whispers softly "Kuch Kuch hota hai—Maasi"

"Adya' Zoya jaw hangs open as she looks at the little girl with her eyes wide open shocked "Stop watching movies"

Adya giggles "Don't lie Maasi –You look at Chachu like as if he is someone –Like The Beauty Looks at the Beast"

"I AM NOT" Zoya tells loudly making Adya shake her head as she says sticking her tongue out "Ziddi"

"Adya!"

***

"Chachu" Aarush hugs Aditya by his leg making him laugh loudly

"Champ –how was your day?" Aditya asks carrying him and settling himself on the couch with Aarush on his lap

"Good-I met my friends –" Aarush goes on telling about his school day but stops suddenly as he tells in a low voice "One boy teased me for not having both parents and they laughed at me"

Aditya hugs him "If Adu was here –she would have beat everyone and chided them"

"Oh Champ – that's okay –We are going to be Fine My Big Boy"

"Now give me a smile" Aditya says cupping his face in his large palms

"Ahh that's like my boy—Now give Chachu a Kiss"

"Eww No Chachu—I am Big Boy and Big Boys Don't kiss Chachu's "

Aditya laughs out loud "But You Give Maasi "

"I didn't say Big Boys don't kiss Maasi's" He tells shyly

"Maasi ki Chamchi" Aditya mocks at him

"I miss Maasi" He tells sadly and stops and says "Chachu did you meet Maasi?"

"No" Aditya tells quickly and nervously "Why?"

"I can smell Maasi's perfume on your shirt"

"When I hug-" Aditya bites his tongue and says "Why from all around only your Maasi would be using this Perfume? –this is –Ya My New Business Partner she hugged me"

"No Chachu—this is Maasi's—Maasi likes Aloe-vera Perfume and –"

"So what –everyone would use naah ?" , Seeing the little one opening his mouth he says quickly "Why do you talk too much just like Your Maasi? "

"Phir se Maasi (Again Maasi) " Aarush teases "Do you like her Chachu?"

Aditya looks taken aback with the little boy's question as he remembers the time when he kissed Zoya . Why did I do that?

" No naah never –Not that Ziddi (Stubborn) –No way" Aditya shakes his head

"Ohh Chachu –grow up –stop lying –you look at Maasi like Charming looks at his Cinderella"

"Really?" Aditya asks surprised of himself but he shakes his head and says "Naah –Not at Ziddi like that –and Aarush stop watching Disney Movies" He puts Aarush on his feet as he walks up the stairs

"Kuch Kuch hota hai Chachu" He shouts while laughing

"Nothing" Aditya shouts back but soon finds himself grinning but shaking his head walks into his room "Kya karo haaye –Kuch Kuch hota hai " Aditya hums as he stands under the shower .

***

"Why are we here Chachu?" Aarush asks sadly while sitting on the bench in the park with his hand tucked under his chin as he watched the children play.

Today was his birthday and he missed Adya more than badly . It was Adya who would wish him first , she was up before everyone and would Thank him for being her brother with a kiss on his cheek and then His Chachu followed by his Maasi will wish them . Their Parents never turned up or bothered to wish them but they would be present for the Birthday party which was thrown just for Show off but today Even his Chachu hadn't wished him and He had been waiting for his Adu's call which never came .

Aditya smiles and sits beside him mirroring his actions with his palms tucked under his chin with a pout "Why is My Big Boy sad?"

"Can you remember what day is it Chachu?"

"Today is—" , Aarush looks at him happily but his face falls hearing his Chachu say "Monday"

"I thought it's Sunday" Aarush mocks at him and looks away

Oh god Zoya? how much should I wait? Aditya wonders while looking at the watch

***

"Maasi Where are we going?" Adya asks sadly while looking out of the window No one wished –I miss you Aaru—Happy Birthday Brother She wipes the tears which were coating her dark brown little orbs

I am sorry baby girl –Wait for few more minutes Zoya taps on the steering wheel impatiently seeing the traffic ahead of her How long She mutters cursing under her breath seeing Adya's sad face

"To meet my friend"

"Ohh" Adya's face falls

"Maasi do you know what day is it today?" She asks hopefully

"Hmmm—I remember –it is Salman Khan's birthday?"

"No—His birthday is on December 27th" Adya makes faces and turns away as Zoya giggles silently

"Why are you closing my eyes Maasi?" Adya asks pouting as Zoya guides her

"Ohh Adya Can't you keep quiet for a minute?"

She giggles and says while taking a step ahead "It is you who cannot be silent for a minute—Chachu calls you Chatterbox!"

"That Giraffe only knows to call me names" She mutters annoyed

Aditya who was sitting with Aarush witnesses Zoya coming from the side . Slowly he moves away from Aarush and tip-toes towards Zoya. He taps on her shoulder . Zoya tilts her head and tries to talk but Aditya places his index finger on his lips asking her not too. She nods as they walk forward silently

"Maasi" Adya calls and says giggling "What happened when I mentioned Chachu you went silent – Kuch Kuch hota hai Maasi?" She asks giggling

Aditya looks at Zoya surprised as Zoya shuts her eyes tightly embarrassed 'Shut-up Adya"

"Kuch Kuch hota hai Zoya" Aditya whispers on her ears as his lips unconsciously brush her ears . She feels tingles as she tilts her head silently feeling ticklish still not taking her hands of Adya's eyes

"I was calling you Buffalo" She whispers back putting up an annoyed face

"Agree Baby—I am handsome that you find it hard to resist" Aditya whispers back

"In Your dreams Mr. Flaw"

Aditya rolls his eyes irritated and opens his mouth to say but stops as Adya interrupts "Whom are you talking to Maasi?"

"No one –No one haina" Zoya laughs a little nervously "To myself—haan –myself"

Stopping few feet away from Aarush who was busy making holes in the grass Aditya and Zoya glance at each other as they squeal as she takes her hands of Adya's eyes "Surprise"

Aarush who hears the sound tilts his head up – The shine in his eyes appearing as Adya blinks her eyes opening . Their Faces mirror the same feeling . The feeling of love and longing . Aarush runs towards her and stops just a feet away as he whispers while a tear slides down

"Adu?" It came out more like a question as still he couldn't come into terms that his twin sister was here Finally

"Aaru" She cries out his name in happiness as she throws her arms around his neck hugging him tightly as Aarush ends up crying loudly hugging her back

"Happy Birthday Aaru" Just like the old days Adya wishes him while kissing on his cheek and hugging him again

"Happy Birthday Adu" He kisses on her cheeks

"I missed you Aaru/Adu" They chorus while letting out a chuckle happily as they hug each other again

Adya missed him more than anything. They were each other's half . For Aarush being away from his half felt as if he was empty and numb with no one around to raise his hopes high. The moment he hugged her that feelings vanished.

"Why did You cry so much Aaru?" Adya asks while wiping his tears with her little palm .

"How did you know?" Aarush asks shocked

"I would always feel like you would call me crying" Adya says with a small smile

"Even you were crying" Aarush pouts back "I kind of felt it" He continues while hugging her again .

That was the kind off connection between them, a thread linking both together they had which was more beautiful and in the most sophisticated possible . It was strange but alluring to both of them .

Zoya didn't know when she had ended up hugging Aditya tightly while looking at the twins crying in happiness in awe . His head on top of hers while looking at the adorable munchkins with a smile .

"They are adorable aren't they?" Aditya asks softly

"They are love" Zoya whispers while looking up at him . She inhales a deep breath seeing how close they were inches away from his lips . She moves back awkwardly as Aditya looks everywhere but at her .

"Happy Birthday My Bachchas" Zoya shouts bending down taking them in her embrace

"Maasi this is what you were hiding?" Adya asks with her arms tightly wrapped around Zoya's neck . Zoya nods with sheepish smile

"I love you more for this lovely surprise" Adya places a hard kiss on her cheek making Zoya chuckle as Aarush kisses her on the other side overwhelmed with affection

"That's not fair" Aditya whines as the twins move back and pass a look at each other .

Adya and Aarush hugs Aditya by his legs making him let out a chuckle as they tackle him onto the ground . He laughs as he falls on the ground . Adya sits on top of his stomach as Aarush in the grass holding his wrist

"We love you too Chachu" Adya and Aarush squeal as Adya kisses on Aditya's cheeks.

"Not You Champ?" Aditya asks rolling his eyes making Zoya let out a chuckle

"Eww Chachu –Boys do not kiss Boys"

"Oh Chachu let me give you his share of kiss too" Adya tells with a giggle while kissing Aditya's other cheek .

"Okay Bachchas Time for Cake Cutting" Zoya claps calling onto them

"Cake Maasi?" They ask chorusing while scratching their head finding none around

"Surprise" Aditya and Zoya squeal showing them a bunch of their school mates walking in with a cake in hand and another two holding a banner "Happy Birthday Twins" with their pictures and the rest with Balloons and Pompoms in hands with their parents . The Lights go on around the bushes that were decorated with various colors which looked made the environment look more enchanting

"Happy Birthday too You –Happy Birthday Dear Adya and Aarush—Happy Birthday to you" They sing as the twins cut the cake together

Adya takes a piece and feeds Aarush first as Aarush does the same with Adya . Adya and Aarush pass a look at each other smiling Mischievously Adya walks to her Chachu as Aarush comes to his Maasi . With one last glance they end up smearing the cakes of their Chachu's and Maasi's face .

Adya and Aarush giggles loudly along with the other kids . Zoya and Aditya pout glaring at them. In next second the cake was smeared on the twins faces by their Maasi and Chachu

"Chachu/ Maasi" They whine chorusing as Zoya and Aditya run as the twins chase them with another piece . The other kids giggle cheering up as they too end up playing the same as the cake fight goes on.

Aditya runs past a tree as he stops and hides behind the tree. Zoya who was running giggling is pulled by Aditya in a swift . He pushes her back to lean towards the tree as She looks at him nervously

" What are you doing Aditya?" She asks almost in a whisper

He smears the cake in his palm hardly on her face taking her by surprise . She gapes angrily at him as he laughs loudly holding his stomach until tears stung .

"White Devil" He teases in next second She had pressed her palm on his face making him shut his mouth once and for all. Zoya jumps in her place giggling like a little child

"Ugly Bhoot(Devil)" She sticks her tongue out and runs but he is quick to pull her by her duppata to himself , He places arm around her waist from behind as he looks at her with mischief glint in his eyes

"No –Aditya" She shouts seeing him trying to rub his cheeks on her hairs . She shuts her eyes tightly making a cry face as he leans closer . He drops a kiss on her cheeks and walks away just like that leaving her still and frozen in her place with her eyes popping out of her sockets

"He is gone Mad" She mutters under her breath still feeling the tingling feeling despite all the stickiness on her cheeks due to the icing of the cake .

The Twins enjoy their day with their friends playing , running around and climbing on their Chachu's head . Pulling their Maasi pleading her to dance and pushing their Chachu to dance with their Maasi who had reluctantly danced as a couple .

Once the night falls Adya and Aarush hug each other almost in the verge of tears as the feeling of emptiness fills them they have to go separate ways

" Chachu please can't Adu stay with me?" Aarush lips quivers as he asks

Aditya sighs that wasn't the case if his Ex-Babhi knows she is going to create a ruckus

"Maasi can we go with Aaru-- Maasi please?" Adya tugs on Zoya's duppata

"It's night Adya –we could meet them in the morning" Zoya tries to reason but the dam breaks as Aarush starts crying hugging Adya

"Don't leave me Adu"

Zoya sighs and signs Aditya to come to aside "What are we gonna do Aditya? I can't see them like this"

"Zoya—if You don't mind Can I take Adya today?"

"I can't leave her alone –she is under my care –You send Aarush"

"Don't pick on a fight—I can't see the kids sad" Aditya reasons annoyed

"Okay fine –I'll come along with Adya for tonight"

"Bachchas" Zoya calls them out lovingly but they do not leave each other in the fear of separation .

"Adya we are going with Your Chachu and Aarush—Happy?"

"Maasi" They throw their arms around her neck making her fall on the grass as she lets out a joyful chuckle "We love you"

"Ya yaa Now Your Chachu would be jealous" Zoya teases seeing Aditya standing pouting like a toddler making Adya and Aarush giggle

"You are such a baby Chachu –Grow up" Adya teases asking him to carry her as she kisses on his cheek.

"Aarush—Come I'll carry you" Zoya opens her arms but Aarush shakes his head

"I am a Big Boy Maasi " He tells proudly while holding her hand making Aditya roll his eyes

"Big Boy –Only when Maasi wants to carry you—Liar --- Tell her She is too tiny and weightless to carry you"

Zoya scoffs at him in reply making Aarush giggle. Zoya and Aditya sit on the back of the car as Aditya asks the driver to drive to the Mansion and had already called one of his employee to drop her car at his place .

Adya and Aarush who were sitting in the middle continue saying excitedly the fun they had in detail to their Maasi and Chachu who were listening to them intently. Finally exhausted they fall asleep . Aditya pulls Adya onto his lap letting her lean onto his chest . She clutches his shirt in his fist making him look at her fondly "I missed you doll" He whispers kissing on her forehead . Zoya smiles while ruffling Aarush's hairs who had placed his head on her chest and wrapped his arms around her waist and was asleep within minutes .

"I wish we could find a way they could be together" Zoya says after a minute looking up at him

"I wish too" Aditya replies staring into her eyes making her look down with a blush remembering him kissing her . Aditya looks away with a grin playing on his lips Why did I kiss you ?

Adya and Aarush come awake with a start as they reach the Mansion. Aditya carries Adya who was still sleepy while Zoya holds Aarush by his arm who walks in a sleepy state .Once reaching their bedroom . Zoya changes the dress of Adya while Aditya does to Aarush .

Adya and Aarush settle in the bed now fully awake as Zoya and Aditya walk in after changing their dresses . Likely Zoya was able to find one of her Didi's night suit which she had left behind .

Aditya kisses on their foreheads "Good night Kids—Sleep tight" He says and turns to go as Adya holds his arm "Where are you going Chachu?" She asks innocently

"Hmm—Your Maasi would sleep with you both while I in Mine"

"Let's sleep together Chachu please?" Adya shows her puppy eyes followed by Aarush who plead him continuously .

Aditya looks at Zoya helplessly as Zoya looks awkward "Sleep here " She says in a meek voice as the kids pull Aditya happily with a squeal "Please Chachu –See Maasi to gave permission"

Zoya and Aditya stretch themselves on the ends with the kids in the middle . Aarush hugs Zoya while Adya sleeps on top of Aditya .

"Chachu" Adya calls him "You didn't gift us"

"Maasi you too" Aarush says now sitting up

Aditya and Zoya pass a look at each other "We got you gifts Bachchas we thought to gift later on" Zoya clarifies as Aditya nods along with her .

"Chachu and Maasi We need something from you both—Will you give us?" Adya asks hesitantly now sitting on the bed . Zoya and Aditya sit up looking at both the twins who looked nervous as they nod

"Will you Be Our Mama and Dada?" Adya's question surprises them as they look at the twins with the eyes wide

"Aren't we like already?" Zoya asks hesitantly

"It Is Maasi but –" Adya trails off "Can we call you both Mama and Dada?"

"Oh Bachchas you can" Aditya says letting out a chuckle pulling Adya and Arush into his embrace .

"Sachi?" Aarush asks letting out a surprised squeal

'Muchi" Zoya pulls his nose with laugh as he rubs his nose making faces at her

Adya opens her arm as Zoya to join the hug. Aditya and Zoya look at each other as the kids hug each other close

"That means we can always be like this—as a family!" Adya tells happily while kissing her Chachu and Maasi while Aarush kisses his Maasi's cheek. Realization hits Aditya and Zoya as they look at each other shocked and surprised They kids want them to marry not to just call them Mama and Dada. They look away feeling awkward as the kids sleep in the middle as Aditya and Zoya has trouble sleeping with the hazy thoughts running in their mind .

Aarush sleeps on top of Zoya hugging her and as Adya hugs Aditya. Zoya runs her fingers through Aarush's hair lost in her thoughts as she tilts her head to see Aditya turning to look at her . Zoya looks away as She hears Aditya let out a sigh.

***

The next day Aditya walks in to the Kitchen to make himself a cup of coffee he sees Zoya already brewing hers and one of him .

They lean on the counter while taking a sip of their coffee ,

"Let Adya stay here with me" Aditya breaks the silence

"What does that mean?" Zoya asks narrowing her brows angrily .

"You heard the twins yesterday right? –they want to stay together"

"I'll take Aarush with me" Zoya reasons while running her tongue of the rim of the coffee mug as Aditya stares at her lips which suddenly looked tempting . He looks away as she tilts her head to look at him

"I will not leave Aarush with You"

"What makes you think that I would leave Adya here?—She is my responsibility "

"Zoya—don't try to pick up a fight! –how long will you have Adya with you? – My Ex-Babhi doesn't give two cents to Adya – and One day you will Marry someone –then where will you leave Adya?"

Zoya scoffs at him "I'll marry the man who would accept the twins"

Aditya rolls his eyes "Where does that man exist?"

"If I give you Adya what would you do with the twins?" Zoya asks testily

"I'll have them with me" Aditya replies shrugging his shoulders while taking another sip

"So you won't marry?" Zoya asks leaning forward sideways raising her brow

"I won't die celibate –of course I'll marry one day!"

"Celibate?" Zoya whispers slowly with her eyes big

Aditya pulls her nose as she swats his palm away while rubbing her nose making faces at him "It's been years Zoya I did it" He quotes the last words with a wink making her move back all flustered

"So do you think She " Zoya makes face while air quoting 'She' "Will agree to have the twins?"

"She will – I'll marry someone who agrees "

"Yaa Yaa-I will marry someone who agrees" Zoya mimics his words as He rolls his eyes and smacks the back of her head softly as she slaps on his arms making him let out an 'Ouch woman"

"Can We be more serious?" Zoya asks seriously as Aditya nods with roll of his eyes asking her to continue "Separating twins is a sin –I can't see Adya crying each day for Aarush neither Aarush crying for her—I cannot come and stay here to everyday—"

"Neither Can I stay in your place everyday" Aditya interrupts her earning a glare from her

"What do you think about what kids suggested?" Aditya asks her

"I always knew you had an eye for me—agree that I am beautiful!" Zoya says flaunting herself making him laugh

"I can't find a beauty around"

"You buffalo!" Zoya shouts with her hands on her hips

"What do you think about that?" Aditya asks again with a giggle

"I'll die a thousand deaths than marry a Jerk like you!"

"Neither do I – Wish to marry a Wild Cat!" Aditya says

"Zoya—We are having a serious discussion" He reminds her sternly

"We can't even stand each other for a minute –How do you think we could survive in a marriage?" She asks him

"Zoya –We can survive –and it is not for Us For the Twins!"He reminds gritting his teeth

"Okay fine –Only for the Twins!" Zoya says thinking thoughtfully after few minutes

"You agreed just like that? " Aditya asks shocked and with a teasing look he takes a step forward "I always knew you found me S*xy and handsome!"

Zoya lets out a mocking chuckle while poking her index finger on his chest pushing him back "In Your nightmares"

"Oh My Princess –Let me See how you resist a Charming Prince like me"

"Don't fly so high your highness –None knows when you'll flatter" Zoya pokes her index finger while mocking him . He holds her finger and pulls her into his arms making her go still in his embrace

"What happened – Princess?" He teases and places soft kiss on her cheek and walks away whistling leaving her shocked .

***

Zoya places the pancakes on the table as the twins come down. Aditya carries Adya in his arms as she keeps on telling the tales she did with her Maasi in the past month . Aarush hugs Zoya by her waist as she bends down and kisses him on his forehead .

The twins have the pancake while bickering which each other completely forgotten what they asked for the night before .

Zoya looks up from her plate at Aditya asking him to break the news . Aditya blinks assuring "Adya –Aarush" He calls them fondly showing his arms for them to come and sit on his lap

Adya rushes first as Aarush follows with a pout "Big boys don't sit on lap Chachu" He whines cutely making Aditya pull his nose

"Only today" Aditya request cutely making Aarush sighs making him chuckle

"Adya remember you asked Us for something?"

Adya nods with a shine in her eyes as Aarush looks Aditya at expectantly with a full smile on their faces "Me and Maasi--" He drags purposely making the twins impatient

"Decided—"

"What Chachu?" Adya asks annoyed as Zoya grins looking at their cuteness.

"Become"

"Go away Chachu " Adya whines trying to get down impatiently making Aditya laugh as Aarush stills looks at Aditya patiently

"Aww My Doll—got angry?"

"Shoo—shoo Chachu" Adya tells dramatically waving her hands but Aditya tightens his hold on her pulling her back and kisses on her cheeks hardly

"Please Chachu?" Aarush asks hopefully

"Your Mama and Dada" Zoya completes making the kids squeal in happiness as they hugs Aditya tightly

"Sachi?" Aarush asks rushing to his Maasi

"Muchi" Zoya says pulling his nose as he hugs her tightly

"That's mean we can stay here?" Adya asks Zoya hopefully still hugging Aditya

"Haan Baba –but after Me and Your Chachu Marries"

"We have a Wedding Maasi?" Aarush asks as he eyes sparkles

"Yes Champ" Aditya replies kissing Adya as she giggles as he stubbles pricks her face

"First Shave Chachu" She tells in between her giggles pushing him back

"Is it a Church Wedding Chachu?" Aarush asks making Zoya look down at him

"You like to see a Church wedding Baby?" Zoya bends down to his level as he nods

"Haan— Yes Maasi – Like Cinderella and Charming" Adya tells dreamily cupping her cheeks

"Then a Church wedding it is then" Aditya kisses on her cheeks

After breakfast the kids start bickering about what they were .

"See their happiness Aditya" Zoya tells leaning onto the door frame looking at Adya and Aarush already planning what to dress.

"Their happiness is what matters –Zoya" Aditya says standing right behind her

"Why a Church Wedding ?" Zoya teases making him whisper on her ears while brushing his lips on her ears

"I get to kiss the bride"

She lets out a gasp making Aditya chuckle as he walks inside the room and sits with the kids who bounce on him making him laugh throwing his head back

Zoya ties her arms around her chest with a soft smile playing on her lips looking at Aditya talking to the kids so affectionately .

"I'll be happy with you Adi" She whispers to herself and soon blushes on the thought as she walks towards them as Aarush calls her to join . Aditya winks at her before going back to Adya who was asking his choices of selecting a frock for her for the wedding .

***

Zoya feels all jittery as she decked up in her wedding gown looking all beautiful . She feels her palms sweating with the thought of him kissing her She wasn't ready yet! . Within a week Aditya had arranged as Adya and Aarush had made a fuss of staying away from each other .

"Zoya" Aditya walks in to her room as her friends leave the room giggling while pulling her leg that her groom couldn't wait for few minutes that he had rushed in.

Aditya walks up to her and bends down on his knees and takes her palm in his "Nervous?"

Zoya nods in her sitting position "Me too' He chuckles making a small smile appear on her lips

"Zoya –We do not have the legal custody of the twins and I really do not think My brother neither your sister would turn up to take them given that they didn't even ask who we are marrying when we informed them about the wedding neither did they ask about the kids – but I wanted to ask is it only for the twins?"

"I don't know" Zoya mumbles "Didi and Jiju might have made them but it was Us who held the twins in our arms first remember ?"

Aditya nods as the sweet memory flashes front of his eyes , Adya had wrapped her tiny finger around his index finger and even to today he couldn't get to remove the spell she had bewitched on him .

"It was Us who named them –Aditya" She reminds him with a smile and her eyes pooling in tears "It was Us who heard them call 'Maa' and 'Paa' First –We saw them take their first step—We saw them fall and they always looked up for us to pick them up despite having their parents around –I always wanted to take the twins and take them away so My Bachchas don't get to witness their parents trying to kill each other –but I couldn't –it wasn't easy because You were there to love them and take care" She pauses for a minute

"You know I always wanted Adya and Aarush to call me 'Mama' instead of Maasi—It was me who helped them grow and now when I am getting a chance –I do not want the opportunity to slip away" She stops wiping away the thin layer coating not to smudge her Mascara

"I can't promise to be a perfect wife –but I had already taken an oath to be good mother to the twins – if you are having a second thoughts –Don't marry me Aditya --"

"Sshh" Aditya places his index finger on her lips "I don't love you baby—But One day I am going to fall head over heels with My Wild Billi-I swear" He winks kissing on her cheeks he walks out with a smile fully happy with the decision he took of marrying her .

Zoya places her palm on her cheeks as she looks down grinning "Why the hell do you always kiss me?" She pouts while looking at her reflection in the mirror which was flushed and red – with her naturally adorned blush by a certain Beast.

Aditya and Zoya exchanges vows while Adya and Aarush squeal in happiness who were dressed exactly like their parents .

"You may now kiss the bride"

Aditya turns to look at Zoya who had lowered her eyelashes nervous while her lips quiver . He bends down as she closes her eyes feeling his warmth close to her face . He tilts his head and kisses on her cheeks and moves back as her lips curve upwards with a blush adorning as she opens her eyes hearing their friends and associates hooting loudly .

Adya and Aarush walks towards them and tug them to bend down "What Champ?" Aditya asks ruffling Aarush hairs

Adya locks her arms around Zoya's neck .

"Aaru Now" She says softly as Aditya and Zoya pass a curious glance

"Mama/Mama –Dada/Dada" They chorus together softly as happy tears well up in the twins orbs as Zoya pulls the kids into her embrace crying in ecstasy

"Mama" Adya calls once again as Zoya cries . Aditya hugs her as his own eyes wells up in happiness

"I am okay doll-I am just happy" Zoya says chuckling as Adya wipes her tears

"Dada" Aarush hugs Aditya tightly making Aditya laugh seeing how sensitive the little boy look up . Aditya knew how much Aarush longed for Yash to at least pass him a glance . he did long for his Dad to come cuddle him to sleep or either feed him and now that he was getting a chance to call him 'Dada' the little boy has got so emotional .

"Aaru—Stop crying –See Everyone are seeing –My brother is strong naah?" Adya calls him sweetly as Aarush nods hugging Adya

"I feel like crying Adu" He says with his lips quivering once again and tears pooling. Adya's own eyes wells up as she pulls her twin brother to her embrace Their longing for Parents to call their own is fulfilled by their own Chachu and Maasi .

***

Zoya walks into Aditya's room still in her wedding frock as she removes the veil of her head and she sits on the stool front of the dresser looking at her reflection . She looks down to see the ring sparkling in her finger on his name . Her lips curve up in a grin

"How did we end up like this Adi?" Zoya talks to herself lost in his charming eyes which held her hand as Bhavya's father gave her hand to him . Bhavya's father was like a father figure in her life for Zoya after she lost her father .

Aditya opens his room door as Zoya turns around with a jerk , he locks the door and takes predatory steps towards her making her gulp

"I thought to help me bride" he tells with a wink as he bends down front of her and takes her hand in his .

He runs his thumb over her ring finger as she feels tingles itching on her skin What is he doing to her ?—Didn't she dislike him? –They fought like long-lost enemies each time they met–then why not now?

"I didn't get to kiss the bride" he tells slyly inching closer to her as she looks down flustered and nervous as he leans in more . Zoya clenches her hands on either sides of her frock Push him away Zoya Her mind screams him

"Adi" She calls nervously Zoya gasps feeling his lips on her throat

"Pervert" She yells pushing back making him laugh out loudly

"You got your tongue back?" Aditya asks laughing

"What does that mean?" Zoya asks with her hands now on her hips

"I thought that wild billi got lost somewhere and shy version of Zoya was sitting over here"

"Me and Shy—Naah –Not for you"

"Are you tempting me to make you shy Zoya?" He asks running his eyes over her eyes down to her lips and down her throat to her sexy V-shaped neck-lined which gave a slight hint to her milky cleavage

"Pervert" Zoya scoffs at him following his eyes as she places her palm on her cleavage .

Aditya sighs rolling his eyes as he leans forward and drops a quick kiss on her palm letting her hand fall off taken aback by his romantic gesture . Zoya gulps her hard as she moves her head up as he lips come in contact with her cleavage . He presses' a deep long lingering kiss as she sucks in her breath her hands bunching his suit on his broad shoulders

"Only Yours" He whispers back pulling back while tucking the fringe that had come of her bun , she opens her eyes looking at him flushed as she opens her mouth

"Per—"

He lets out a chuckle interrupts "Only Zoya's pervert" He winks at her as her mouth goes 'O' Shaped shocked .

"Pervert" She pushes him back " Stand few steps away from me –I know kick boxing"

Aditya takes a step deliberately "You can't even stop me –Zoya" He challenges tugging on her wrist as he pulls her into his arms and kisses on her cheeks .

"Get ready –it's time for Mahurat" He leaves her and walks out of the room leaving her all flustered .

Zoya places her palm on her heart soothing it as it drums hammering loudly "Stop doing this to me Adi .

"I so hate you" She whines looking at her reddened face in the mirror

Zoya comes down in red sari as Aditya was in sherwani. Adya hugs Zoya complimenting her how lovely she looked . Aditya and Zoya had decided to have a simple wedding in the temple according to their tradition too with only their friends and cousins around .

***

Later that day night . Zoya and Aditya pushed into the room by their friends while passing them tips on how to spend the whole night and locked the door from outside .

"Let's sit?" Aditya suggests scratching his neck while showing the bed . Zoya looks down with a smile seeing how cute and embarrassed he looked .

They sit in silence next to each other as the awkwardness feels them . In the evening teasing her was easy for Aditya but right now he was a nervous wreck and he didn't want to make her uncomfortable by freaking her out .

"I need time" Aditya hears her meek voice saying Did she think that I would pounce on her?

"I did" Zoya replies as he turns to look at her shocked

"I did think you would pounce on me but mind me Aditya I would use my boxing skills'

"Did I talk that loud?" He asks confused as she nods rolling her eyes seeing His Wild Billi back and his Shy biwi gone he decides to tease her

"Where will you punch if I touch you here Zoya?" He asks placing his palm on her waist as she lets out a silent gasp and she struggles to push his palm. He pinches on her waist as she glares at him yelping

"Stop harassing your wife – Monkey" She yelps while trying to push his hand off

'Monkey haina" He bites his lower lip and with a tug she was under him on the bed .

"Don't –I'll kick your 'thing" She warns while placing her palms on his chest stopping him from pressing himself on her

"That 'thing' has a name Zoya" He laughs winking as she looks down feeling shy

"Ahaan—Wild Billi knows how to be shy too?" he teases while kissing on her cheek

"Stopping kissing there—I feel something –something -happening" She tells in a flow realizing she bites her tongue

"What is happening –Zoya?" He teases with a sparkle in his eyes as he slides to left and balances his head on his elbow and looks at her who was lying next to him

"Nothing –Is happening !" Zoya tells hurriedly while brushing her palms on her cheeks trying to rub off of the redness that had settled on her cheeks .

Aditya pulls her palm back "That won't go " he teases while looking at the woman in front of him .The sindoor , the magalasutra and the ring in her finger with his name . She was truly a beauty –He did get attracted to her –but never knew he would end up marrying his wild billi who always fought with him . Destiny has its own way of bringing two hearts together .

"Shut-up" It comes out shyly as she pushes him back seeing him laughing

"I so hate you" Zoya yells at him

"But your blush says otherwise" Aditya tells with a wink

A knock on their door interrupts them as Zoya makes her sari correct and opens the door .

"Mama" Adya and Aarush hug her tightly by her waist as Kunal and Arjun comes running behind

"Bachchas We told not to disturb Mama and Dada right?"  Arjun tells them as they pout looking at Zoya

Aditya comes into appearance as Adya hugs him tightly "Dada can we sleep with you both tonight?"

"Yes" Aditya says smiling while pulling her up into his arms and kissing on her chubby cheek making her smile

"Mama --Arjun Chachu told that you both will not be sleeping tonight so not to disturb" Aarush says pulling Zoya by her wrist as she bends down to his level . Kunal and  Arjun were Aditya's friends since childhood

Zoya looks at Arjun with her eyes wide , "He told you both will be playing the whole night" Adya completes turning to Aditya . Aditya ends up coughing badly as Zoya looks at Arjun glaring

"Arju—they are kids"

"Hmm—Babhi—I—"

"Can we also play with you Dada?" Aarush asks Aditya in excitement

"No" Zoya tells horrified making Kunal let out a chuckle . Aditya glares at him asking him to shut up .

"Mama—Dada –Shall we sleep?—I am tired to play" Adya yawns while placing her head on Aditya's shoulder and hugging him by his neck.

Aditya smiles affectionately as Aarush pulls his arm sleepily "Will sleep Dada?"

"Let's throw Kunal Bade Papa and Arjun Chachu out first" Aditya tells winking making Arjun make a cry baby face

"So mean" He mutters and walks away with Kunal making Zoya and Aditya chuckle .

Aditya places Adya in the middle but she holds his wrist "Dada I want to sleep in the end" She shows her puppy eyes as he nods She moves to the corner as Aditya stretches himself in the middle . She snuggles close to him making Aditya smile That was one of the habit Adya hadn't given up since she was two .She was a cuddly bear and needed someone to hug her to sleep .

Zoya helps Aarush change into his night suit as he hadn't up to now . Once done She takes him to brush his teeth and she tells Aarush to get to bed and she will join once she changes into her night kurti.

Zoya blushes while tugging the sari pleats from her shoulder remembering him trying to get close to her . She changes into her kurti as she walks out and sensing her around Aditya looks up and shakes his head "Why did you change?"

Zoya narrows her brows despite the blush which was making no stone to turn up on her cheeks "My work" He actions removing his sari with his hands making her mouth him a "Shut up " as she grins blushing heavily

"Mama—come soon naah" Aarush whines sleepily

Zoya walks up towards the bed and sits to stretch herself on the corner but stops as Aarush holds her palm "I'll sleep in the corner Mama?"

Zoya looks at Aditya nervously sleeping next to him—no- "No Baby—You will fall" She tries to reason despite the mischievous look in Aditya's eyes

"I am a Big Boy Mama –I won't' Aarush tells stubbornly "Please ? –Please—please" He pleads adorably making Zoya sigh

"Okay" Protect your Birdie God—that Romantic creature might plan something

Aarush almost pushes Zoya towards Aditya . She stills as their shoulders brush . Aarush places his head on her shoulder

'Good night Mama –Dada" He whispers sleepily while giving Zoya a kiss on her cheek and falls asleep within minutes on her shoulder . She smiles lovingly before ruffling his hairs .

"Where is Dada's Good night kiss?" , Zoya feels ticklish as he brushes her stubble on her neck . She looks down to see him looking at her with affection with a hint of tease on his chocolate brown orbs

"Aarush is asleep" She tells nervously "And Adya too" She tells quickly pleading with her eyes for him to move away as his breath was hitting onto her neck arousing desires .

"So Mama give Naah?" He teases while brushing his lips on her ears

"Please Adi" She whispers while closing her eyes as she feels her palms going cold

"What Please Baby?"

Zoya opens her eyes slowly to see him pressing his cheek on top of hers

"Twins are here" She reminds him breathlessly making him smile against her cheek

"So—I wasn't planning to do anything –What's running in your mind Billi?" He teases as she pushes him back with a blush and fake glare

"I –so hate you "

Aditya presses her hard kiss on her cheeks making her close her opened mouth as she stares at him "Your eyes says otherwise –baby"­

"Good Night –Birdie" He winks before going back to his pillow and hugging Adya closer to him and brushing his shoulder against hers nudging her out of her thoughts as she runs her fingers through her cheeks and looks away with a blush .

***

Few months passes by since their marriage . Zoya could not sill get used to the romantic gestures of Aditya . She was ready to tackle his fighting side but Not his flirty pervert side but secretly she loved his ways but then again they still fought like Tom and Jerry for all the silliest reasons where the twins would shake their head at them stopping their fight.

That day Adya and Aarush comes home excitedly and tells Zoya and Aditya about the upcoming competition coming in their school . It was Art and dance respectively . Aditya suggests both of them to take part in Art whereas Zoya on dance . They both end up picking a fight as Adya and Aarush look at them sighing with their hands on their forehead as they walk up to them patience gone

"Grow up kids" They say with their hands on their hips Aditya and Zoya stop their fight to look down at the twins

"Your Mama is the kid over here!" Aditya accuses pointing his finger at her

"You – Machar (Mosquito) –You are the one who is irritating" Zoya scoffs back and the fight would continue like no tomorrow

"Mama – Aarush will be participating in the dancing competition and Me would in the Art competition!" Adya tells her decision

"Anyone can dance –Adya – throwing hands and legs up in there –but Only a Good Artist can draw" Aditya says flaunting while pulling his collar up

"What? –Do you know how many forms of dances are there even? – Why Am I even asking a Donkey like you?"

And their fight goes on while Adya and Aarush walk out of the room with their badminton rackets knowing their Mama and Dada would not have plans of stopping any time soon .

"I so hate—you" Zoya yells at last and stomps out of the room .

Aditya looks at himself and talks to himself confused "Did I piss her off way too much?"

Shaking his head he says "Chalo Naah Adi—let's go calm my Birdie!'

Zoya curses under her breath while cutting the vegetables irritatingly .

"Aww-stop hurting the Poor Onions"

"Get—lost—before I stab you with the knife " She warns angrily while holding the knife tightly and crushing the onions stabbing it murderously

Aditya hugs her from behind by her shoulder she struggles "Go away Adi"

"You look hot –when you are angry" He teases while placing his chin on her shoulder

"Get lost –Aditya Hooda"

"Where will I go leaving Mrs.Aditya?" He flirts back despite her poker face her lips twitches upwards in a smile but she presses her lips on a thin line

"I can see you smiling Birdie –Stop faking " He teases and kisses on her cheeks making her chuckle

"Zoya" He calls her as she turns around in his arms . He tucks the fringe behind her ears as he says " Anyone can dance" She raises a brow "But My Birdie does the best!"

"So cocky ! and Cheesy" She sticks her tongue out and pushes him back making him laugh

***

Zoya tries his number continuously but "it isn't reachable" She looks at the time it was half past 9 and the heavily pouring rain was increasing her fears . He had left His Office at 7 and it takes only half hour to be here but still he was missing.

She looks at Adya and Aarush who were equally fretting and worried for Aditya .

"Mama –Where is Dada?" Aarush asks her worriedly

"Dada will come – Baby –Adya take Aarush and go have dinner"

"No Mama –we will wait until Dada comes" Adya says sadly while looking at the door hopefully .

Aarush and Adya had made Fettuccine Alfredo White Pasta and Baked a Chocolate Cake as A Surprise for their Dada's Birthday which was tomorrow with the help of their Mama

Zoya runs to the door as she hears the calling bell from the hall. She opens the door to find Aditya all wet drenched in the heavily pouring rain. She gives way for him as the twins rush towards him

"Why did you get late Dada?" Adya and Aarush asks simultaneously

"Bachchas –Let Dada clean himself up first"

Aditya nods with a smile ruffling the twins hairs he walks to his room to clean himself up .

"Mm—Damn hungry" Aditya comes whining like a child into the dining area making Adya chuckle .

Zoya places the plate front of him and asks while taking the dish to serve him "Where were you Adi?"

"I met Mahi on the way and we wer—"

Aditya looks shocked as Zoya slams the dish on the table suddenly "You were freaking enjoying with her –while I and the kids were worried something happened to you—you could have just called once—Do you know I had all the negative scenarios running in my mind— When I got call saying accident from a wrong number my heart stopped beating for a minute – I was on the verge on dying thinking something happened to you –but you were freaking enjoying your time with that model girl friend of yours!!" Zoya yells at him in a raised tone with her blood boiling as tears were ready to spill out , she marches out of the hall while wiping rubbing off the stubborn tears that kept falling

The twins look scared as their lips tremble with tears threatening to fall witnessing their Mama shouting at Dada. It reminded them the old days where Yash and Pooja would fight. They shiver while tightly clutching each other's hands . Unable to contain they end up sobbing gaining Aditya's attention who was taken aback by Zoya's outburst. Aditya runs towards them .

"Ohh—Bachchas that –is fine –okay—Mama is just a little angry—okay" He hugs them tightly

"Sorry Dada—Mama was scolding you because of us right? –we only kept troubling her asking where are you" Aarush tells in between crying and hiccupping

"Ohh—Champ –No –Mama Is angry because Dada did a mistake –I should have given a call and told her naah?"

Adya nods while her tears fall continuously "You both will not go away like Yash Papa and Ishu Mama right?"

Aditya wipes her tears with his thumb and kisses on her forehead as he hugs Aarush by his other arm. Adya was sitting on the chair while Aarush was standing next to Aditya .

"Baby—Me and Mama love you both so much –to let you both go—You both are our life Bachchas"

Aditya pulls them into his embrace and caresses their back until they ease . He pulls back seeing them calm

"I'll talk to your Mama and come? –Like good babies complete the dinner okay?"

"No—We will wait for both of you" Adya tells hurriedly as Aarush nods along with her.

Aditya walks in to his room to find Zoya curled up in the bed while punching the pillow as angry tears stream down . Mahi was Aditya's ex-girlfriend who he met after years . Mahi had spoken to Aditya friendly in the recent wedding function of  Arjun who had invited her as she was related to Bhavya in some way which he didn't know . Zoya had been all cool but at the end when leaving She had kissed on his neck front of Zoya and walked away waving him a bye . That irked Zoya who had been throwing daggers at Aditya for one whole week almost ready to kill him if he accidently even spoke to her . It took him days to calm his Birdie and make her understand that no one else mattered to him like his Birdie.

"Get lost" She yells as he hugs her from behind and kisses on her cheeks

"My Baby is angry" Aditya coos on her ears as she beats his arm trying to remove it off from her waist .

"Don't Baby-me –Go and do that with your model girlfriend "

"But I want to Baby – My Birdie"

"Don't play innocent—You spend hours with her and now coming to Baby—me"

"Why do you care what I do with her Zoya?" Aditya asks skeptically removing the sweaty wet fringes which had struck to her cheek due to her tears , He continues "You hate me right?"

"Because I LOVE YOU Idiot!" She yells pulling him by his collars while getting on top of him

"I care because –You are My husband and I do not like any other Woman clinging to you like a leach—Only I have the right to kiss you or to do anything with you –Samaj ji tum?—Tum mere ho—Sirf Meri Aditya (Do you understand? –You are Mine –Only Mine Aditya) " She tells possessively and clearly as she pushes him back and gets down from the bed but she is pulled back into his chest with a tug .

He rolls taking her under him "Ithni Possessive ho tum? (This much possessive)" He asks her amused with a his eyes sparkling

Zoya bites her tongue realizing what all she had said in anger . Seeing her looking at him in embarrassed and a nervous look he says "I was coming home –then I met Mahi whose car had broken down—Her husband had a panic attack and She was sobbing unable to find a transport so I helped her –I tried calling you but there wasn't any network"

"She is married?" Zoya whispers shocked . Aditya pulls her nose with a chuckle

"She is –years back "

"Then why did she kiss you?" Zoya asks suddenly getting angry

"My Possessive Birdie –that's kind of her way of greeting " He chuckles as Zoya makes face

"I don't appreciate it"

"I'll make sure Only My Zoya kisses me" He winks making her blush as she lowers her eyelashes .

"How is her husband now?" Zoya asks suddenly feeling guilty

"He is fine"

"Ohh—My Bachchas –Did they eat?" Zoya asks guiltily remembering her snapping at him front of the twins

"They were kind of scared—when they saw you shouting—they thought we would end up like Yash and Babhi"

"Oh—god—I am such a Bad Mama " Zoya pushes him and rushes towards the dining area to see them with their head on their table and playing with the spoon sadly .

"I am sorry" Zoya pulls them into a hug as she says crying "I am sorry"

"Mama --Don't cry" Aarush and Adya hug her tightly and wipes their tears "You are Best Mama haina?—and Dada told it was he who did a mistake that's why you scolded him"

"Forgive Dada Mama –Our teacher says we should forgive anyone who asks sorry"

"Dada is Forgiven " Zoya tells with a slight chuckle

"Don't Fight with Dada like that Mama –I got scared—like Ishu ma-"

Zoya places her palm on Aarush's mouth stopping him "I will not leave your Dada nor I will leave my Bachchas –We are a family haina? "

'I Love you Mama" Aarush and Adya says hugging her tightly

"Now come let's eat" Zoya hushes them

"Dada come" Adya calls him who was witnessing the scene with a smile

Aditya takes a spoon of the Pasta while moaning.

"Dada is it tasty?" Adya asks hopefully

"It is" Aditya says winking making Adya and Aarush squeal in happiness

"See Mama –I told naah Dada will love what we make"

"My Babies made this?" Aditya asks amused "That's why it is tasty—if Mama makes – " Aditya ends the last bit winking at Adya who giggles as Zoya smacks Aditya's head with a frown

"Don't come behind me—asking for food"

"Ohh Birdie –I was saying it is tasty –whatever you make – isn't it Aarush?"Aditya pleads through his eyes asking Aarush to agree with him

"No –Mama –Dada was saying whatever you make he cannot even swallow it down his throat"

Zoya turns around and glares at Aditya who glares back at Aarush as he sticks his tongue out

"You feel vomit-tish—when you have something I make?" Zoya asks tying her arms around her chest

It was just once that Zoya had ended up adding more chilly and forgotten to add salt in the curry she cooked as she was in a rush to attend an urgent meeting in the office. As a joke he had told Aarush. Who knew that this boy would be Mama ki Chamchi

"No—Birdie—Baby—Your hands are magical—your food are heaven—who can tell as such?" Aditya tries to make peace as Adya and Aarush giggles , back to their cool mood as they enjoy their Dada getting an earful as they have their pasta .

"Happy Birthday Adi/Dada" The twins shout along with Zoya pull Aditya out of his sleepy state . He gets surprised and is taken aback as he hugs the kids and kisses Zoya on her forehead slightly thanking them . The kids gush out on how long it took them to bake the cake and to do the icing decorations Aditya had kissed them affectionately saying that he never had a tasty cake in his life ever like this . The twins gift him a handmade card which read "Happiest Birthday to the Best Dada in the World" – words were not enough to express how he felt at that moment . Adya and Aarush might not be his blood but they were bonded to him by their love .

Zoya gasps feeling an arm snaking through her waist as soon as she closes the room door .

"What does Mama gifts Dada?" Aditya asks huskily making her turn around in his arms . Brushing her fingers on his stubble she presses her lips on his chin for the first time with a smile .

Zoya takes a step back as she walks to the dresser and comes back with a rose in hand and forwards it to Aditya with a rosy tinge acquiring her cheeks "I LOVE YOU"

"Love You too" Aditya lets out a surprised chuckle while pulling her into his arms and brushes her nose with hers making her grin.

"Only that?" he asks like a kid pouting as Zoya shakes her head with a blush and takes step backwards and runs into the washroom.

Aditya waits impatiently as minutes tick by darting his eyes once in a while towards the washroom door . He hears a shuffle and the door clicks open. Aditya looks intently as she places her foot and then the door opens as she steps out with her eyes tightly embarrassed and shy as Aditya looks at her surprised from head to toe .

She was dressed in a magenta color satin gown which had thin straps which was draped around her shoulders and a deep neckline giving Aditya hints of the flesh that lay beneath . He gulps hard as he takes step towards her knowing he wouldn't be able to control . Using his forefingers he lifts her chin up slightly to see her blushing .

"Zoya" He calls her visibly surprised with a nervous chuckle escaping his lips

"I Gift Myself to You" She whispers looking down shyly

Unexpectedly his hands drifts towards her hips settling there as he pulls her closer and closer . Zoya takes a sharp intake as She finds herself pressed against his warm chiseled chest . Must he be so perfect? She wonders while looking up with her innocent orbs

"We—Can't—" Aditya trails off not knowing to how to tell her that they do not contraceptives right now.

Zoya bites her lower lip as she pulls her hand from behind while bringing it to his eye level

"Condom?" Aditya whispers visibly surprised as She nods biting her lower lip blushing

He smiles as he bends down his breathing quickening so as hers as he nuzzles her neck with delicate kisses as she parts her lips a moan escaping her lips . She urged herself to push him away but she couldn't . Her limp body trembling uncontrollably as his fingers drummed making patterns around her hips over the satin . His head angles slightly to a side as his lips came and closer to hers . A look into her eyes asking for permission she nods surprised as her own lips part . Their breaths mingle as her heart fluttered inside her chest. His arms circled around her drawing her closer as the stain gown pool to the ground a gasp escaping her lips as his hands and lips roamed freely around her bare torso and soon she found herself drenching in blissfulness as his skin came intact with hers . It was between Two hearts and two bodies which entwined as one soul as love filled moans echoed through the four walls .

***

After a Year

Zoya walks out of the washroom with her eyes filled with tears . Aditya rushes to her and stops right front of her as He looks at her worriedly trying to decipher what those tears were trying to saying

"Positive" Aditya hugs her as tears streams down her cheeks

"Oh—baby you scared me" Aditya soothes her back trying to calm her

"I am Pregnant" Zoya whispers as she looks her with her eyes welled up

"We'll get through –All is Well" Aditya whispers kissing her hairs

"We had decided not to have a baby right?" Zoya asks him almost ready to cry

"We had Zoya but He had decided to give us one so we should accept this little bundle with open arms and We had fears, whether we would differentiate between twins and our baby but Zoya – Adya and Aarush, are Our kids –we might have not made them but we were the ones who brought them up –blood or not –Our love for them will never change –So now be happy – Mama" Aditya cups her face in his palm making her smile

"Congratulations Dada "Zoya whispers shyly while hugging him now feeling more light.

***

Zoya was in her sixth Month, She goes out with Adya to do baby shopping as Aditya and Aarush has decided to go to the court to play football.

"Oh –baby—I left the bag in the café—I'll get that and come in few minutes—stay in the car okay?" Zoya strictly orders Adya as she gets down from the car.

Zoya comes out of the café with the missed bag in her hand she stops on her tracks seeing Pooja coming in the opposite way "Didi"

Pooja stops as she says "Oh my god –Zoya –You here?"

She hugs Zoya who hugs her back hesitantly.

"You are pregnant? –how many months?"

"6" Zoya replies meekly

'Where is your husband?"

"He is—at –work—" Zoya says quickly

"How are you?" Zoya asks

"I am fine—I am here with Rajveer –He might be waiting for me –I am going –take care" Pooja says and walks giving her another hug

"You didn't even once ask about Adya—How could you didi?" She mumbles under her breath and turns around to see Adya who had stopped few feet away with her eyes big

"Adya—baby –why did you come out?" Zoya asks her worriedly

"Is it Ishu Maa—Mama?" Adya asks softly

"Yes" Zoya tells the truth rather than telling a lie

"Did She ask about me Mama?" Adya asks with hope

Seeing Zoya not replying Adya looks down sadly while hugging Zoya "It's okay Mama –I have You"

Zoya caresses her hairs as she hugs her by her shoulder The Twins never forgot Yash nor Pooja –somewhere they hoped that one day they would meet their parents and at least once would be able to receive their love- On Pooja's and Yash's birthday the twins would pray for their well being . Zoya and Aditya would feel jealous that they wished they gave birth to the twins because that was the only thing that was having a thin line between them but the twins would hug them tightly and thank them "Thank you for being Our Mama and Dada" –and all the thoughts would vanish away where only love would exist

***

After few months

"Mama –Can I hold her?" Aarush asks hopefully mesmerized by the little bundle in his Mama's arms .

Zoya looks at Aarush and Adya who look at her cutely – Her eight year old first joy bundles. She leaves her eyes from them to look at the little girl in her arms . She was just few days old and has already wrapped her family in her tiny fingers .

Zoya nods instructing Adya and Aarush to sit in the middle of the bed . They sit crossed legged as Zoya places her little girl in the arms of Aarush

"Hold her head" She instructs "Carefully" Zoya still has her hold on the baby's head as Aarush and Adya look at her in awe .

Adya's eyes goes big surprised as she lets out a adorable smile as the little girl curls her tiny fingers around Adya's pinky finger .

The Little one yawns slightly as she opens her eyes ever so slowly while kicking her leg in a tiny jagged motion . She stretches her hands softly as looks up and opens her eyes to at her sister and brother . Then she gives them a small smile before yawning and going back to sleep

"Mama –She smiled at Me" Adya squeals

"No—She smiled at her brother" Aarush points at out as the twins bicker who the little one smiled at .

"She is so cute Mama" Adya coos with the little one now having the baby in her lap

"Anaya Aditya Hooda" Aditya calls her carrying her from Adya's lap as he holds the little one gently in his arms.

"Anu" He calls her as she smiles in her sleep

Zoya sits next to Aditya placing her head on his shoulder as Adya and Aarush make noises giggling as the Little bundle looks at them in awe.

***

After 7 years

"Leave me –Rihaan!" Adya yells trying to remove the hold Rihaan has on her

"I like you Adya" Rihaan says for the nth time

"I don't Rihaan – please leave me"

Before Rihaan could say anything he lets out an ouch as he leaves his hold on her hurriedly . He looks down to find Anaya poking him with her pencil

"Touch my didi –next time –I'll pull those two sockets out of those eyes!" She threatens and takes hold Adya's arms she tells authoritatively "Come didi –Let's go—None Can Touch Anaya's Didi!"

Adya follows behind her with a smile as she stops Anaya "Why did you do that?" She asks trying to maintain a poker face looking at her 7 year old Sister .

"How dare he touch My Didi!" She fumes placing her hands on her hips

"Aww—He wasn't troubling Me -Anu—and My bunny don't tell Aaru Bhaiya or – Mama or Dada okay?" She requests

"Okay –But-next time he troubles you –tell me –I'll beat him" Anaya says showing her arms as if ready to fight making Adya laugh and hug her bunny boo to calm the little one .

In Paris

"We shouldn't have parted ways " Pooja says sadly looking at Yash who hugs her tightly

"I am sorry—I should have understood you more" Yash says regretfully

They had been seeing someone else for years and broken up but after years when they stumbled across each other in the club—high on alcohol they ended up making out – old sparks had returned and they had decided to give their marriage a second chance.

"Our kids" Yash reminds her

"How is Adya?" He asks her

"She isn't with me" Pooja says and continues "Maybe with Zoya"

"Aarush?" She asks Yash

"With Aditya" Yash sighs

"Let's get our twins back and start a new life" Yash says as Pooja hugs him with a nod

"Let's return to India tomorrow" Pooja says as Yash pulls her for a kiss .

In Delhi

"Adya – Where is –" Zoya stops dead on her tracks finding Pooja and Yash walking in hand in hand with a smile

"Jiju—Di" She calls them out shocked

"Zoya—You here?" Pooja asks surprised finding Zoya in the Hooda Mansion

"Zoya—Where is my watch—" Aditya stops looking up sensing the silence around.

"Yash?"—Babhi?"

"How are you Aditya?" Yash asks greeting him with a hug but Aditya doesn't hug back shocked least expecting them here that too together

"Zoya—you haven't answered my question" Pooja tells with a smile

"Hmm-Didi—I married Aditya"

"Ohh- Wow –that's amazing" Pooja says surprised

"Where is your baby?" Pooja asks with a smile

"They are—" Zoya fumbles

"How –you both—together?" Aditya asks quickly sensing Zoya's nervousness

"We are together!" Pooja and Yash tells at once

"Where are the twins?" Yash asks as Aditya and Zoya pass a look at them

"We are here to take them" Pooja drops the bomb

"Dada—Shall we leave?" Adya comes with Aarush all set to go for their outing

"Dada?" Yash looks at Adya surprised

"Adya" Pooja calls her moving towards them and pulling them in a hug.

"Hmm—Ishu Maa" Aarush moves back not at all happy witnessing them here

Turning to Aditya and Zoya he asks them "Mama –Dada-What is Ishu maa and Yash Paa doing here?"

Adya hugs Aditya not at all happy to see them here .

"We are your parents-Why are you calling Your Chachu and Maasi as Mama and Dada?" Pooja asks shocked

"They are Our Parents!" Adya and Aarush says sternly and loudly in a clear tone

Pooja lets out a sigh as she says sadly "We know we did a fault but we are here to take you both with us—let's be a family again"

"Zoya Mama and Aditya Dada and Anaya are Our Family" Adya tells sternly

"Zoya—what spell have you casted on my kids?" Pooja yells at her " Give my kids back to me Or"

"Or?" Zoya asks visibly surprised

"We might have to use the legal way—the custody is on Our hands" Yash completes "I need my kids back or lets meet in Court" He warns

"Didi –Please—They are my life" Zoya pleads holding Pooja by her arm

"They are my kids –Zoya" Pooja removes Zoya's arm as she says

"Please Didi"

Adya and Aarush look at Yash and Pooja we tears streaming down their cheeks

"We might have to come with Police –Aditya—We would do anything for the twins" Pooja warns

"We'll come with You" Adya tells making Zoya and Aditya look at her shocked and tears welled up "Don't do anything to Dada or Mama"

"Adya –Bachchas –Don't do this –Mama will die without you btoh" Zoya cries hugging her tightly .

Aarush hugs Zoya tightly "They will take you and Dada to police Mama" He reasons crying

"No –What come may—We will get through" Aditya says sternly looking at them

"You both are trying to instigate my kids—they are ready to come with us" Pooja says yelling at Aditya

"Dada – We are going with them today –and You will bring us back legally – and then none can separate us" Adya says hugging Aditya as she sobs clutching onto his chest

"Don't go—please—See Mama is crying – and Anaya—She will break down if she doesn't find her Didi and Bhaiya when she is home"

"Let us to go Dada—Only for now—We will be back" Aarush says understanding what's running in Adya's mind . Knowing Pooja and Yash—they would go to any lengths to get them and they do not want their Mama and Dada to get hurt in the process-they had given them parents love and the kids didn't want to hurt them in return

"Bachchas" Zoya hugs her them as she cries "Take care of Dada –Mama" they say and kiss Zoya and Aditya once before leaving with Pooja and Yash as Zoya falls on her knees crying , Aditya hugs Zoya –his own eyes welling up seeing his kids going away from them ..

***

"Are you both happy now?" Aarush shouts loudly throwing away suitcases once they were in Yash's house

"Aaru –control" Adya tries to calm him but he pushes her slightly and turns to look at Pooja and Yash who looked at him

"I Hate You both!" Aarush shouts at them loudly and stomps inside the house with Adya running behind him calling onto his name "Aaru"

"They'll come around" Yash says and walks to his room leaving a shocked Pooja by the sudden outburst of Aarush

"Aaru" Adya hugs him by his arm who was sitting on the bed while clenching his palm

"We'll have to wait –Aaru—Dada will take us back" Adya says crying

"Why are they doing this to Us?" Aarush asks her as tears fall " They left us –not even caring whether we die—Mama and Dada did not even leave us—hell they married just for us -- every little thing they did was for us—then why did we have to leave them Adu—Mama was crying her heart out Adu—why did we give them this pain Adu?"

Adya cries hugging him "All is Fine –Aaru—Dada and Mama will come for us"

"Anu—oh god—I hope she doesn't the cry the whole night" Aarush tells panicking worried for Anaya .

"Anu –would be strong –Aaru—she has too- for Us "Adya tells muffling a sob as she hugs Aarush more tightly and he hugs back placing his head on top of hers

***

"Aaru Bhaiya –Adu didi—Where are you both? –Stop playing hide and seek—see Anu is back home from the tour" Anaya calls them out cheerfully as she searches for both of them . Not finding them around huffing she walks towards her parents room.

"Mama –Dada—See Anaya is home !" She walks in with a smile to see Zoya sitting on the ground with her head placed on Aditya's lap who was sitting on the bed as she cries

"Mama" She calls worriedly rushing towards them

Zoya wipes her tears seeing Anaya and composes herself "Mama-Why are you crying?" She asks worriedly while hugging Zoya by her neck

"No—I am okay" Zoya's voice cracks as another sob escapes her lips

"Mama don't lie—Dada –why are you too crying? –Where is Adu didi and Aaru Bhaiya ?—I brought gifts for them too"

Hearing Adya's and Aarush's names Zoya lets out another whimper as she sobs clutching her heart

"Mama you are scaring me" Anaya says quickly on the verge of tears "Dada –What happened?"

"Anu—Badi maa – "

Anaya nods knowing who is Badi maa – Zoya and Aditya had made sure to tell Anaya the family members and how they are related .

"Badi maa- Bade Papa—took Adya and Aarush away" Zoya yells in between her sobs

"What are you saying Mama?" Anaya cries asking not believing her own eyes

"How can they take Bhaiya and didi ?" She yells in between her own sobs as Aditya hugs her seeing Anaya trembling

"Don't cry Baby—We will get Bhaiya and Didi back soon" Aditya assures her

"No—I want My Bhaiya and Didi back NOW !—they promised to give me gifts when I am back from tour—Dada get ready—We are going to bring back Bhaiya and didi" Anaya tells determinedly wiping her own tears

"We can't Anaya" Zoya says hugging her

"No Mama –We can –Come lets go—Bhaiya and Didi won't have dinner without us – they might be crying –Come lets Go" Anaya says pulling Aditya and Zoya with her out of the house .

***

Adya and Aarush walks out of their room as Pooja calls out for them .

"What now?" Aarush barks at her as Adya holds his arm

"Aaru—Is this what Dada and Mama had taught us? –we can't disrespect them"

"Let's eat" Pooja calls them with a smile despite the sadness she was feeling right now seeing her own children distanced from her.

"No—We are not hungry!" Adya tells calmly but in a stern tone

"I have made –"

"What have you made?" Adya yells at her "Do you know what do we even like Maa? –Do you – No you don't – Did you even bother to feed us? –We would starve during the days you both would fight—it was Chachu Our Dada fed us ? –" She yells fighting her angry tears remembering those old days which gave them pain

"Leave all that – Have you even once sat with us when we had meal? –No Maa you didn't !"

"You both were busy in fighting in each other but – now coming as if you both were loving parents" Aarush scoffs at them angrily

"Is this the way to talk your mother?" Yash roars angrily walking up towards them

"Oh here comes the Father Adu – Weren't you ashamed when you brought a random woman home each day and even kissed her in front of me ? I was so little –You both pushed us away –It was Chachu and Maasi who took us and brought us up—They were there for us when we cried during the nights longing and craving for parents love—they made us happy –married for us and became our parents " Aarush yells at Yash angrily while clenching his fist

"Adya – I—" Pooja tries to speak but is cut of rudely by Adya

"You were what—Did you even bother to know whether we were alive or dead!" She spats at them angrily while rubbing her tears furiously

"No—You didn't but Maasi did – She became my Mama –and remember always was and is and will be Our Parents is Aditya Chachu and Zoya Maasi—You both just made us –but they brought us up"

"Do you know something else?" Aarush says gritting his teeth "They refused to have another child fearing –they would end up differentiating us and their child –but When Maasi was pregnant with Anaya she cried in fear – They are that Ishu Maa—but You both—left us to die!" When they were small before Zoya got pregnant with Anaya they had overheard once them talking about having children and they had seen Zoya crying sharing her fears with Aditya when she was pregnant back then they couldn't understand what was their fear exactly but when they grew up they knew what it was and since then Adya and Aarush vowed not to hurt them even in the slightest way and love and protect Anaya without letting any harm reach her .

"Bhaiya –Didi"

Aarush tilts his head to see Anaya standing right at the entrance and calling out to them . As soon as her eyes falls on them she rushes to Aarush and hugs him by his waist .

"Why did you leave me –Bhaiya? –Anu can't stay away from her Didi and Bhaiya –why?" She cries "I brought gifts too and you both left me alone—Don't You love Anu?'

"Anu—Stop crying Bacha—My Little Doll—We love you " Aarush kneels front of her as he wipes her tears and kisses her .

"Didi" Anaya throws herself on Adya crying as Adya sobs loudly clutching Anaya tightly.

"Didi—pleasegive my kids back" Zoya cries folding her hands front of Pooja

"Oh –Shut—up—you both have casted a spell on them!" Yash roars angrily

Aditya kneels front of Yash "Please give my kids back—I'll touch you feet if You want too"

"Dada-" Aarush and Adya rushes towards him and pulls Aditya up hugging him tightly "What –are --you doing Dada? -- How can You just fall on someone's feet?" Aarush almost yells at him crying

Yash looks at Aditya shocked knowing how much pride Aditya has and never would beg for anything but today he was on his knees for the twins he made .

"I would do anything –for my babies" Aditya tells in between his tears as he clutches them as if his life depended on them . Anaya hugs them from the middle as Zoya leans on Aditya's back crying

"Please—Give our kids back" Zoya pleads blinking back her tears

Anaya wipes her tears as she walks towards Pooja and Yash "Badi maa – Give my Bhaiya and Didi Back!" She orders at them

Pooja narrows her brows looking at them Little woman in front of her "If not?" She challenges

"I would do anything for My Bhaiya and Didi—They are Mine –and You have no right to take them from us—Can't You see how much They are crying? – See my Mama and Dada re crying too because of you both—Give My Bhaiya and Didi black!" She orders with her hands on her hips her eyes red and puffy from all the crying .

Pooja lets out a chuckle as she says "Do you know little girl—Your parents didn't want to have you—"

"Ishu Maa" Adya shouts stopping her "A Word more – I would forget that You gave birth to Us" She threatens as she pulls Anaya close to her .

"We would kill ourselves if you do not give our legal custody to Zoya Mama and Aditya Dada" Aarush threatens

"Aarush" Aditya chides "Don't talk nonsense"

"What can we do Dada ?—This pains to be away from you all" Adya says pointing at her heart as she cries clutching Aditya

"Dada is here—I would take you both back—soon" Aditya says kissing on their temple while caressing their hairs

"Yash—I'll transfer my shares to your name –just give me the legal custody of the twins'

Seeing him looking at Aditya shocked Zoya too says turning to Pooja "I would give my life for my babies—what is there do with the properties—I'll transfer my shares on your name"

Pooja and Yash pass a look at each other as they let out sigh and nod " We'll give the legal custody of the kids to you and we do not need any properties we have our own" Yash too nods agreeing with Pooja

"We wished –We could be a family again but—" Pooja hugs Yash sideways as her eyes well up "I wish we could have been the parents my twins wanted at least once" She muffles a sob looking at Adya and Aarush who had snuggled on Aditya's arms

"Can we hug our kids once before you both leave?" Pooja asks hopefully

Zoya nods pushing Adya and Aarush. Pooja clutches them tightly as she kisses them on their temples but the kids do not hug back. Yash too hugs them .

Zoya walks towards Pooja and says "Adya and Aarush always waited on their birthdays with hope that one day you both would turn up and wish them –hug them once and on Your birthdays they always prayed for both of your wellbeing and –wait a minute" Zoya wipes her own tears as she walks out and comes back with a bag in hand "Each year they brought gifts on your birthdays hoping to give you both one day—They never forget you didi –or Jiju—still they love you – but –" Zoya is interrupted in the middle

Adya holds Pooja by her arm as she says looking at Aarush and Yash "I am sorry Ishu maa- for yelling like that –and so is Aarush too Yash Paa –Despite everything we both loved you and will always will –but We love Dada and Mama more than everyone –They live Us – Maa we would always drop by whenever we get time to meet You and Yash Paa but we can't live away from Mama and Dada"

Aarush too nods along with Adya as they walk away with Anaya .

Aditya hugs Yash as he says "You gave my life back to me"

"Didi you can always come see them" Zoya tells as she walks out with Aditya .

Pooja hugs Yash as she sobs "Why did we behave so badly with the twins Yash? –See the love they have for Aditya and Zoya—I wish we had kept our differences and loved them –today we could have lived us one happy family"

"It was My mistake Ishu—I am happy that Aditya and Zoya brought them up –see the love and happiness our kids has—at least we could live the rest of our lives knowing that our kids are happy"

"Dada –Mama" Adya and Aarush calls them before getting into the car

"We love you" They hug Zoya and Aditya tightly sobbing "It feels like ages since –we are away from you but in reality it was just few hours"

"No one loves you-Anaya—It was Anaya who brought Mama and Dada to take her Bhaiya and Didi back home but No one even says 'Love you' for Anaya—Poor Anaya" Anaya talks to herself huffing out with a pout and making a sad face

"Drama Queen!" Aarush pulls her nose making her rub her nose while making faces

"We Love Anu—Anu is the strongest girl-nah who protects her Bhaiya and Didi" Aarush carries her in his arms and kisses on her cheeks making her giggle

"My Little Doll" Aditya carries her from Aarush's arms and kisses on her cheeks "Thank you for dragging us here"

"Uff—Dada –Anaya is a Smart girl—she knows that Badi maa and Bade Papa would give her Bhaiya and Didi back when Anaya asks something –None Can Say No to Anaya!" She praises herself

"Ufff—Ya " Adya rolls her eyes with a chuckle as she kisses Anaya "My Little bundle"

"Let's get home—it's already night" Zoya reminds and pulls Anaya's nose making her whine .

Once home Aarush says "Dada –Will sleep together?"

Zoya and Aditya pass a look at each other and nods . "I'll make our beds in the terrace" Adya says with a smile

"I'll help didi –Dada" Anaya says joyfully excited with the thought of sleeping in the open space

"Everyone can sleep—but first lets have dinner—I'll make something soon" Zoya says sternly as she walks into the kitchen

"And I'll help Mama" Aditya winks at the kids as they giggle

"Arrey—Give me some work naah" Aarush says with a pout

"Oh—Bhaiya—You can come help us" She says pulling him up with her

After dinner The kids make the beds on the floor and sit in the middle as Anaya sits on Aditya's lap talking about the tour as they listen to her with a smile .

The kids fall asleep as Zoya stands up walks towards the end of the terrace and looks up at the starry nights . Aditya hugs her from behind as she leans towards him with a smile .

"I Love you –Aditya" She whispers making him kiss on her cheeks

"Love you too—Birdie" He whispers back hugging her tightly as both of them relax in their embrace calming their racing hearts due to the events which happened few hours ago.

"Didi "Anaya whispers tapping Adya whose eyes were dropping

"Yes—Anu?" She whispers back looking around and smiles seeing her Parents hugging so without disturbing she turns giving her attention to Anaya

"I met Rihaan Jiju"

"Jiju?" Adya whispers shocked

"Haan—He gave me a chocolate asking to give you—so that it melts your anger away"

"Why are you calling him Jiju ?—and why are you talking to him? " Adya chides her

"He asked for Sorry and brought me an Ice-cream and he asked me to call him Jiju when I called him Bhaiya as he would be one In future"

Adya gasps hearing her "Don't call him Jiju –Neither you are talking to him again",

Anaya nods and asks quickly "Then the chocolate? – Why waste it Didu –Anaya will have it –you don't worry" She says haughtily and goes back to sleep leaving a gaping Adya .

Adya closes her eyes and soon grins Rihaan and his tactics –Not happening with me Rihaan!

"Why are you blushing Adu?" Aarush asks who comes awake with a start not finding Zoya next to him .

"Hmm-nothing"

Aarush searches for Aditya and Zoya seeing them hugging and smiling whispering something to each other , He turns to Adya and tells her" See them Our Tom and Jerry has turned into Lovebirds!"

Adya slaps his arm chuckling "They are Our Mama and Dada" She chides but grins remembering how Aditya and Zoya used to fight .

"Adu—I love you "Aarush says pulling her in a bear hug making her chuckle

"Love you too Aaru" She chuckles seeing his sudden affection

"No one loves me" Anaya murmurs in her sleep

Adya and Aarush pass a mischievous look at each other and pulls Anaya up making her shriek grabbing Aditya's and Zoya's attention and kisses on her cheeks either sides "We love Anu—one much-too much—so so much!"

Anaya giggles as Adya and Aarush tickles her . Aditya and Zoya look at the kids affectionately as they chuckles seeing Anaya now on top of Aarush tickling him as Adya was trying to pull the little one off Aarush .
