Time is a tricky monster. It moves at ease; painfully slow when you are grieving. However, it flies by quick when you're having fun. The same happened with Singhanias. They were all dragging their days all these years and now that they were happy- they wished days would last longer.

After Jai and Shukla were punished, Tapish went to sort things out with Meera. Things went great. Both still had immense feelings and ended up forgiving each other. Meera was feeling guilty, she thought she had been too harsh whereas Tapish felt guilty for not listening to her. However, they both decided to not wait another minute mourning about what is already done. They decided to turn a new page in their lives and welcome happiness that they deserved.

Coming weekend, Singhanias and Sharmas decided to go on a family outing. This would give them the opportunity to shed the bitterness and rekindle the relationships. Tara and Vani were truly happy. Balwant was glad when he saw Mahesh had joined them on the trip too as now he won't have to deal with doe-eyed Ritu. However, his happiness did not last very long as Ritu often found ways to irritate him.

Flashback

R: Bhaisaab, apka dum nahi ghut jata aise tie me? Meeting thodi hai jo aap suit me ho??

.

R: Arey bhaisaab, aap kya roz roz Rehan ko apne saath le jaate ho sulane...lgta hai poti ki badi jldi hai apko...hain-hain?

.

R: Bhaisaab, aap na waise duble to bade hoge...Bani nahi thi toh kya khana nahi dalta tha kya apko koi?

.

Flashback ends

Balwant's response to all this would be an eye roll. The entire family enjoyed this way too much to Balwant's displeasure. He, in turn, took solace in his grandson. He had only known him for a while now and wanted to compensate for every lost hour.

The trip lasted four days. The families enjoyed themselves, for most part if you exclude Balwant's encounters with Ritu. Even they were a delight, atleast to Ritu.

Veeranshu was the only one who sometimes jumped in to save Balwant from Ritu, but that was because he was extremely pleased with Balwant. His Ballu had managed to keep his little monster away on almost all nights. While the families spent time together in the day, he was excited to have the nights private with his gharwali. He teased her and took her on dates. They went for night walks and had long talks. They made love in every corner of their couple suite and were glowing with happiness.

It was on this trip that Tara's wedding for finally fixed. Upon coming back home, Bani and Rehan went to Sharma house. Veer was more than happy to go too but his brothers made him stay.

Flashback

T: Nahi Veer, tu meri taraf se ayega. Bani ko toh wahan help krwani hai...koi nahi hai..tu kyu jaa raha hai?

V: Arey gharwali ki help krni hogi na bhai...apne hi kaha koi nahi hai wahan...

T: Aur tu bhi chala jayega to meri shaadi ki tayari kya mai khud karu?

Somehow the family made him stay.

Flashback ends

Today was the first night Veer spent alone after meeting his sweetheart after all these years. He called her.

(Italics: Phone call)

....

V: Sweetheartttttttt.........I miss you...tumhara jaana zaruri tha kya?

"Zaruri tha na sweeeeeetheartttttt"

V: Rehan! -_-

R: Hhahahaha...papa...aap bhi na mummy ke bade wale chipku ho...

V: Chup kr!..Bani ko phone..

R: Not possible..

V: Kyu?

R: Mummy mere liye milk lene gayi hai...yrr Veeru, bol na sweetheart ko ki na pilaye mujhe doodh...

V: Oye!! Do foot chaar inch! Veeru kya hota hai?..Dad hoon mai tera..

R: Aur Ballu ka malli kaka hai? Aap bhi toh apne papa ko Ballu bulate ho...maine to apse hi seekha..

V: Yahi sb seekhna..

They continued to talk/bicker for a while. Bani came with the glass of milk.

R: Oh mumma! Thank Bholenath aap aa gaye...dekho na papa kya paka rahe hai mujhe...mai toh thak hai..need to recover with sleep..bye..

B: Kya-??

Rehan quickly jumped inside the covers.

B: Badmash!! Ye nautanki kissi aur ke age krna...pee doodh chup chaap..

Rehan acted liked he was asleep. Bani started to leave and yelped as if in pain. Rehan quickly got up.

R: Mumma!!! Apko chot lagi kya??

B: Haan...dil me chot lagi...chal ab doodh bhi..

R: Haw!! Cheater!!!!

B: Chup be badmash..

V: Sweetheart? Hello, koi sun raha hai.???

B: Ye Veer ki awaz?

She spots the phone and picks up.

B: Veeranshu?

V: Sweetheart? Kbse bula raha hoon...tumhare pass toh time hi nahi hai..

B: Sorry Veeranshu, vo Rehan nautanki kr raha tha ...

R: Nahi mumma , mai nahi kr raha kuch bhi, maine pee liye doodh..

B: Good boy..ab so jao..

R: Mai Meera masi ke pass jaa raha hoon..kissi do..

He pecked Bani's cheek and made her kiss his head. Then ran away.

V: Hash!! Gaya badmash..waise sweetheart, mujhe bhi chahiye kissi..

B: Chup kro tum..kaise phone kiya?

V: Ouch! You wound me love. Do I need a reason?

B: Nahi ...not that..accha batao, how was your day?

They both chatted for a while before dozing off. A few kilometres away but together in heart.

........................................

The next morning, Bani woke up and felt an arm on her stomach. She kept her hand on it and felt the hair. It cannot be Meera or Rehan. Her eyes shot open and her heart was beating fast. It was Veer.

B: Veer!!!!!

V: Hmmm???...oh good morning Sweetheart..

B: Tumne to mujhe dara hi diya tha..

V: (yawns) vo maine suna tha Rehan Meera ke room gaya hai so mai aa gaya..I was missing you..aur phir meri kissi bhi to leni thi..

Bani melted at his puppy eyes and hugged him. Veer pulled her on top of him and breathed in her scent. It calmed him down. They cuddled for a while.

B: Accha ab choro mujhe...sb uthte honge..Rehan kissi bhi time aa skta hai..

V: Pta hai..isliye gate locked hai..

B: Kya?? Tum bhi bade smart ho..

V: (smirks) Cheel Rajkumar hoon jaan-e-man.....

B: Pr mujhe kaam bhi hai so..

V: Accha kiss dedo, phir mai chala jaunga..

Bani smiled and cupped his face. Veer's eyes widened as his gharwali agreed without hesitation or nakhra. She closed the distance and Veer closed his eyes. But instead of the kiss on his lips, he felt her lips on his head.

Veer opened his eyes and gave her a frown. Bani giggled at the disappointment in his eyes.

V: Mai to aise hi badnaam hoon, badmash tum bhi kam nahi hoon..

B: Learned from the best (winks)

V: Accha ji?

Veer smiled playfully and flipped her. Now he was hovering over Bani. She was breathless and her eyes were wide open.

V: Not so giggly now, are we?

He said and caught her chin before smashing their lips together.

......................

Bani's fingers were tracing her slightly swollen lips, fresh from the kiss. She recalled how he bit and nipped at her lips while massaging her body. She blushed red.

B: Bs kr Bani..

She scolded herself looking in the bathroom mirror and took a bath. She got dressed in a simple jeans top as today was a hectic day.

She along with Meera went for shopping and then she spoke to a lot of people regarding wedding arrangements. By the time all was done, it was dinner time. Bani and Meera entered the house.

M: Thak gaye aaj toh?!

R: Kafi time lg gaya...tum dono fresh ho jao, mai dinner laga deti hoon..

B: Maa? Rehan ne khana kha liya..

R: Arey bhaisaab ka toh man hi nahi lgta Rehan ke bina...aaj shaam ko hi driver bhej kr usse bula liya...

B: Daddyji ki bhi na jaan basti hai usme...chalo koi na..

M: Aaj phir tu mere pass so jana..

B: (in mind: aaj toh Veer pakka ayega, usse pata hai Rehan wahan hai..) uh- nahi di..vo..

M: Ohoo, kissi ko late night talks krni hai??

Unknown to Meera, Vani did more than just late night talks.

.........................

The next day, Bani was sitting with Ritu and going over the online invite's design when her phone rang. It was Daksh.

B: Hello?

D: Bhabhi!!! Jldi aaao aap..gazab ho gaya..

B: Kya hua?

D: Bhabhi jldi...ghar pr sirf mai aur Ponky hai ...baaki kissi ka phone nahi lg raha...shyd site pr gaye h...aap jldi aao..it's Rehan..

Bani excused herself and rushed to SM.

B: DAKSH?! PONKY?

P: BHABHI!! YAHAN AAO..

B: KYA HUA?? KAHAN HAI REHAN..??

Mumma?

Bani turned and saw a strange boy.

B: Aap kon ho beta?

Mumma aap mujhe nahi pehchante kya??

D: Bhabhi, hum bhi yakin nahi krte...pr ye Rehan hai..humare samne iski shakal badal gayi..

B: Kya?? Kaise?

P: Hum isske saath home alone dekh rahe they aur ye bolne laga ki ye hota to kya krta aur phir dekhte hi dekhte iski shakal badal gayi..

Bani was shocked. She moved near Rehan and hugged him. He started to sob.

R: Mumma, ye kya ho gaya..mera handsome face..

B: Shh..shant..mujhe sochne do..accha ek kaam kro...think of your face and start wishing to be that..

R: Mai yahi soch raha hoon..pr mera face!!

B: Accha idhr aa...aise hands cross kr..ab wish kr...

Soon Rehan turned back.

R: Ho gaya!??! Yay!! I am hot again!

B: Hot nahi bolte!!! Bacche cute hote hai..

R: I know! I am different..

Bani gave him a look and made him sit. She wiped the trail of tears on his face and asked the cook for a glass of juice for him.

P: Kya hua tha bhabhi??

B: I am not so sure...pr..pr shyd Rehan ke pass kuch nag powers bhi hai.. pr ek nag ko bhi shaktiyan itni jldi nahi milti...

The three were shocked and stared at the happy boy with wonder.

............................

Balwant, Veer and Tapish came home and were shocked by the news they received.

V: Mera beta sbse zyada powerful hai!!!!!!

Ba: Haan Veer , pr hume iske baare kuch nahi pata, we need to research.

B: Research kya kre? Aaj se pehle koi naagin cheel ka joda bana hi nahi hai..

They all spoke and finally decided to keep Rehan's powers in check until he grows older. They also called people of knowledge whom they knew for help and answers.

................................

The day of Tara's wedding arrived. Veer had slyly done the haldi ritual with Bani without her noticing and made sure that the mehendi put on her hands was applied to him first. Unknown to Bani, the family was also planning Vani' wedding.

When Bani descended down the stairs in her gold lehenga with Meera in red bridal, she was shocked to see the two mandaps and Veer waiting for her at one in his a matching attire.

B: Ye sb??

The family told her that since no one attended Vani's wedding, even they are going to remarry. Happy tears escaped Bani's eyes. Vani and Tara were finally wed. Ritual wise- it was a first for Vani too.

Both the couples were sent to a honey moon suite each at a reputed hotel. The family was going to welcome them the next day as Ritu was big on mahurat.

She had said: 'Bohot mushkil se in sb baachon ko inka pyaar mila hai, ab to mujhe koi risk nahi leni'

Everyone complied as it hurt no one but made her very happy.

..................................

Later that night,

V: Sweetheart?? Aaj toh humari suhagraat hai?? (winks)

B: Ek baacha hai humara? Ab kaisi suhagraat?

V: Kyu? Allowed nahi hai kya? Agar pyaar ho toh hr raat suhagraat hai..

He kissed the corner of her mouth. Bani blushed and hid her face in the crook of his neck. Veer smiled and kissed her hair and removed her pallu from her head. His fingers traced her smooth waist.

'AAHHHHHHHH'

Vani parted away and looked at each with wide eyes. They then looked at the wall behind them.

V: Tapish bhai bhi kya wild hai!!!

B: Veer! (smacks his chest)

The moaning continued. Vani cursed their supernatural hearing.

B: Hume ye raat bhar sunna hoga??

V: Isliye ghar best tha, wahan room sound proof toh hai km se km..

B: Pr aab?

As their moaning showed no signs of disappearing, Veer dragged Ban into the shower. He turned on the water.

V: Bs, unki awaz cut.

B: Pr Pani waste hoga na..

V: Accha? Ek idea hai..let's shower, no waste..

Bani tried to disagree but her words died in her mouth as Veer undid his clothes and revealed his toned body. They worshiped each other's body before entering the shower together.

Soon, the room next to theirs was frowning the same way they had been frowning a few minutes ago.

...................................

Vani made love in the shower and on the counter top before moving into the balcony in their robes and falling asleep on the balcony seat in each other's arms.

The next day, the couples got ready and were welcomed home. Veer teased Tapish a lot who was shocked and flushed thinking his brother and his wife heard them. The rituals were done properly. Post this, the couples went into their rooms. They were tired and dozed off peacefully.

In the evening, the reception party was help. While the wedding was a private affair, the reception was a large and lavish party.

Tara wore a purple-white attire while Vani wore a black-red outfit.

Everyone was surprised to see Mayuri come in with her new boyfriend- Prashant. He was a human and Mayuri's current date. They knew she had changed and helped Bani immensely. They welcomed her. Dead feelings met Ponky who stole glances at Mayuri. Mayuri too felt guilty as she had hurt him for her agenda. She apologized to Ponky for everything and they chatted for a while.

Soon Prashant got himself really drunk.

M: Ugh! In insaano ki capacity bhi ek dum third class hoti hai..

She made him leave in a cab.

P: You are not leaving with him?

M: And miss my best friend's reception, no ways!

Mayuri wished Tara and Vani.

R: Pretty masi!!!!!

M: My big boy!!!

R: You remember!!

They hugged and the family laughed at hearing their dramatic talks.

H: Congratulations guys!!

Harshkashyap too came with his now fiancé- Jenny- an icchadhari lioness.

V: Congrats to you too. Sher ko apni sherni mill hi gayi..

They all welcome guests and rejoiced.

V: Kuch soona soona lg raha hai? Dance toh hona chahiye..

B: Veeranshu, yahan pr koi nahi dance kr raha..

V: Exactly, how boring!

He smiled and clicked his fingers. A man came with a mike. Veer started to sing and sway. He did both gracefully and kept an eye contact with Bani. Bani blushed and felt special.

Sona kitna sona hai
Sone jaise tera man

Sun zara sun kya kehti hai
Deewane dil ki dhadkan
Mai Tera mai Tera mai Tera
Mai Tera mai Tera hero no.1

R: Haye!!! Kissi ki nazara na lge inhe!!!

Veer smiled and gave away the mike. He then offered Bani his hand. She took it. It was like they both were in a trance and could only see each other. A song hit the party and they began to move magically. No one could take their eyes off them. Their love radiating so powerfully than some even started to cry.

Dil ibadat kar raha hai
Dhadkanein meri sun
Tujh ko main kar lu haasil
lagi hai yehi dhun
Zindagi ki shaak se lu
kuch haseen pal main chun
Tujh ko main kar lu haasil
lagi hai yehi dhun
Jo bhi jitne pal jiyun
Unhe tere sang jiyun
Jo bhi kal ho ab mera
Usse tere sang jiyun
Jo bhi saansein main bharun
Unhe tere sang barun
Chahe jo ho raasta
Usse tere sang chalun
Dil ibadat kar raha hai
Dhadkanein meri sun
Tujh ko main kar lu haasil
lagi hai yehi dhun

Post this, they urged the shy couple- Tara. They were awkward at first but gracefully performed on khuda jaane...

Sajde Mein Yun Hi Jhukta Hoon
Tum Pe Hi Aa Ke Rukhta Hoon
Kya Yeh Sab Ko Hota Hai
Hum Ko Kya Lena Hai Sab Se
Tum Se Hi Sab Baatein Ab Se
Ban Gaye Ho Tum Meri Dua

Khuda Jaane Ke Main Fida Hoon
Khuda Jaane Main Mitt Gaya
Khuda Jaane Ye Kyun Hua Hai
Ke Ban Gae Ho Tum Mere Khuda

...........................

The guests had left. Only a handful few stayed back. Harshkashyap was one of them.

H: Bani, Veer? I have something important to say. I looked around for what you said about Rehan.

B: Kuch samajh aya?

H: Haan, I think he is dominantly a cheel right now. He had wings. He is powerful too as he phased early and his size is large. But he can also change his roop like nags. My guess is, as your child- he has both genes but one is dominant- jo dominant hai vo roop vo le paa raha hai. In this case- its cheel. He cannot turn into a nag as he is an icchadhari cheel but his naagin genes give him roop-changing powers. Pr kitni intensity hai, aur koi power hai ya nahi, ye sb toh time ke saath pata chalega...till then I recommend ki tum log isske ass pass ek Ghandhak se kavach bana do. Best part is that you guys have control of the stone so you don't need someone's help. It will help him control his powers.

Vani heard him and went through his research. It was decided that Rehan will be protected using the stone and they will handle each new day as it comes.

.........................

Later that night, Rehan was now accustomed to sleeping in his own room. This delighted Veer. Now, Vani were in there room. They had casted the spell on Rehan. Bani had changed and was staring outside the window. Veer hugged her from behind.

V: Rehan ke baare me soch rahi ho sweetheart?

B: Haan...kya hoga uska future Veeranshu? Will he be able to live like ordinary children?

Veer could sense her worry and twirled her. Now, she was facing him.

V: We knew when we fell in love that we together will be explosive, kuch bhi ordinary nahi hoga...to humari iss extra-ordinary love ki nishani kaise kuch ordinary ho skti hai?

B: (smiles) but Veeranshu-

V: Sweetheart, worry not! Kya abhi vo baccho ki tarah enjoy nahi krta?

Bani nodded.

V: Toh age bhi karega...and jo bhi uska future hoga, hum usse utna hi pyaar denge...

Bani smiled and hugged him. They both basked in the warmth of their love.

V: I love you gharwali.

B: I love you too Veeranshu. Bohot bohot zyada..

V: Chal jhutti..

B: Accha? (raises a brow)

V: Prove kro...

B: Kaise?

V: Strip?

B: Dhat! Badmash!!

Veer laughed and kissed her head.

V: Koi baat nahi, ab to hum humesha saath hi hai..aaj nahi toh kl mai manwa hi lunga..

Bani leaned forward and kissed his ear lobes.

B: What if I agree today?

She winked and slid down her kurti straps. Veer's eyes sparkled as he pounced on Bani. Soon their laughter turned into moans and thank heavens for the soundproof room that protected the ears of everyone in the house.

...............................

Vani laid in bed in the aftermath of their love. Their faces showed satisfaction and joy.

B: Isliye tumhara kuch nahi ho skta..you are too wild to let me do anything..

V: Ouch babe! Accha dobara try kr lo..

B: Shut up! I am tired..

Veer laughed and kissed her nose.

V: I was joking. Ab to saari life mai sang hoon tere, koi jldi nahi hai..uske baad bhi nahi chorunga..I will always be yours.

B: Forever?

V: Forever.
