A girl of about twenty four years, was walking holding a plate of aloo poori in her hand and a a boy of about 20 and the other boy of about 19 years were following her.

Boy 1 : Di, what are you exactly planning to do ?

Boy 2 : Probably di wants to eat this oily aloo poori and gain lots of weight.

The girl turned around and the boys looked at her.

Boy 1 and the girl : SHUTUP, Mahir.

Mahir : Not again ! I want to go to my Anvaay bhaiya, you both are terrible.

Abhaya : Ok cut it. Now don't cry again, cry baby. Our mission is to convince mom.

Yuvi : But Di, that is your motive, what will we get from that ?

Mahir : Oh ! I'm proud of you Mr. Artist, Good question. ( to Abhaya ) What are we going to get if Badi mom agrees to help you.

Abhaya : Well... A ride in my new car... if I get one.

Mahir : That's never gonna happen.

Abhaya ( Sadly) : ya that's right. ( to Yuvi ) Mr. Artist also got a car despite being just 20. But here I am, a 24 year old girl with no personal car.

Yuvi : don't be sad Di, badi mom is the supreme court of this house you know, a sweet supreme court who helps everyone. So let’s go and appeal to her.

Abhaya : ya let’s go.

Mahir : halla.... bol.

He said stretching the word halla and raising his one hand. Abhaya and Yuvi rolled their eyes at this over dramatic bother of theirs and continued walking towards supreme court err... Shivika's room. They heard a voice saying “come in” from inside before they could even knock.

The trio entered inside as they walked in with their best smiles and the plate of Aloo poori. Anika raised her eyebrow at this as she knows very well that something is going on in these three evil minds standing in front of her.

Abhaya : Mom, look what I got for you, your favourite Aloo poori.

Yuvi : We made it badi mom.

Mahir : Especially me, you know, I'm the best.

Abi/Yuvi : Shutup.

Anika : Ok Ok stop it, three of you. I want the truth, and only truth. I know that you three are here to butter me to help you in something. ( to Abhaya) I'm getting such vibes especially from you.

Abhaya : MummaIWantYouToConvinceDadAndBhaiToBuyANewCarForMePleaseeeeeeeeeeee........

Anika : Ok. I understood that you came here to make me a fool.

Abi : No. Ok. So, I want you to convince dad and bhai to buy me a new car. Please mom don't say no. Only you can convince them. Both the billus don't deny any of your wishes.

Anika : No. A clear no. And yes your dad and bhai don't deny any of  your wishes also, except for this one. They are just protective about you. In fact that are protective about three of you.

Abi : ya. That’s why even Yuvi got a car but not me.

Yuvi ( Horrified ) : Di, don't mention it again and again. What if that car is snatched from me ? What if your evil eye gobbles my poor car.

Mahir ( over dramatically ) : Haww Di, bhai bhai na raha.

Abi ( Ignoring them and to Anika ) : Mumma please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please.

Anika : Are you selling ‘please’ ?

Abi ( a little irritated ) : mumma !

Anika ( sighing in defeat ) : Ok. I will try.

Abi : Oh mumma I love...

Anika : I said, I'll try.

Abi : I know. But I know my mumma can do anything and bhai and dad won't deny what you say. Now come, Aloo poori is hot, have it.

Anika sat and Abi neared the morsel to her mouth and Anika happily took it. Then she also made Abi Yuvi and Mahi eat one by one. They were enjoying their meal when they heard two feminine voices.

Voice 1 : Not fair, bhabi, Fun without us ?

Voice 2 : exactly. We also want Aloo poori.

Anika : you two won't change. You both are their mothers for God sake. Stop behaving like kids.

Gauri : Not at all.

Bhavya : because we will always be younger to you and we also want our bhabi’s love.
Saying this, Bhavya and Gauri hugged Anika from either sides and they had fun together.

In the afternoon, everyone came to the dining room except Shivaay, Om, Rudra and Anvaay as they were out for their own works. Tej and Shakti had taken retirement long ago and were enjoying their days with their better halves who too left their responsibilities on Anika, Gauri and Bhavya.

Unfortunately, Dadi wasn’t with them. But, she was and will always be in the heart of every single member of the Oberoi family. She will be very happy to see her family together and she must be showering them with her blessings.

In the evening, Anika was going to the terrace but she was pulled by someone. Well ! to be honest she wasn't shocked, at all. It has to be her dear husband, her Bagad billa Mr. Shivaay Singh Oberoi. And there he was, holding her between himself and the pillar and staring her. May be they are a little old now, but their Ishqbaazi is still young. They are still, the inspiration for the other couples if it comes to romance.

Shivaay : Missed me, Mrs. Oberoi ?

Anika : Ummm... not really, Mr. Oberoi.

Shivaay : Ok. I got it. You missed me a lot.

Anika : You... ( chuckled) I did miss you a lot. Happy ?

Shivaay : I'll be happy if I get a good back kissie.

Anika ( a little shocked) : What Shivaay, I don't know where do you get these ideas from. I mean Good morning kiss, then good bye kiss, good night kiss, what does this ‘Good Back kiss’ mean ?

Shivaay : A kiss that is given on returning back from office.

Shivaay smiled sheepishly as Anika shook her head in disbelief before Anika could say anything, they heard an annoyed manly voice from the other side.

Voice : Mom ! dad ! get a room for God sake.

There he was standing, the Anvaay Singh Oberoi, the junior SSO in every aspect, whether they are his hot looks, tadi ( Attitude ), anger or his workaholic nature. The young businessman who is achieving success at such young age just the way his father did, following the similar ideology that “Business mein dimaag front seat pe, aur dil back seat pe.”

Shivaay too replied in an equally irritated voice.

Shivaay : You get a bride for yourself, then you will understand the importance of Romance.

Anvaay : That's never gonna happen. Anyway, leave my mom for me at least, I wanna talk to her.

Shivaay : You mom is my wife also.

Anvaay : Mom !
Shivaay : Anika !

Anvaay : Mom, I love you the most, and you know that. So please come with me.

Shivaay : Anika, jaan I live you the most and you know that. So just stay with me.

Anika, as always, was stucked between the father-son duo. She freed herself from Shivaay’s hold.

Anika ( to Shivaay and Anvaay ) : I know, that you both love me the most, happy ? Now I want to talk to you both. So come with me.

Shivaay and Anvaay nodded like sweet kids and went with her. Abhaya, Yuvi and Mahi too followed them as they heard them talking.

In Shivika's room

Anika : Actually, I was saying that... that you should give a car to...

Anvaay/Shivaay ( Shouting ) : No way !

Anika : But why ?

Anvaay : I'll go with my princess wherever she wants to go, but no car for her. When she was driving she met with an accident and hurt her forhead. I don't want her to fall in any trouble.

Shivaay : I agree with him. Discussion over.

Anika looked at Abi who was hiding behind the door and looking at her like an innocent cat caught in the rain.

Anika : Shivaay, that happened because by mistake. A child came in her way so she just saved that child. It could have happened with you or Anvaay or any one else. Then why are you doing this to my little doll ? Don't you love her and want to see her smile ?

Anika looked at Shivaay and Anvaay as she knew it was their weak point.

Shivaay : Ok now you are trying to blackmail me emotionally, that's just not fair.

Anvaay : Yes mom. No arguments on this.

Abi came out from her hiding place and looked at Shivaay and Anvaay pleadingly but they said no without looking at her as they knew they will melt if they saw her cute face.

Anika ( after seeing her baby doll sad ) : Shivaay, Babu ( Anvaay) I don't want to listen anything. If you will refuse my daughter's wish, neither I will talk to you both nor my daughter. Now get out of my room. You can come if you want to ask which car does my doll want.

Abi squealed happily and Anvaay and Shivaay looked at each other helplessly and left the room. But after a few minutes, Avu came back and picked up Abi in his arms and took her with him.

Abi : Bhai leave me what are you doing ?

Ancaay : Don't you want a car, princess ? Shall we cancel the idea ?

Abhaya as well as Mahir and Yuvi shouted in happiness.

At night, Abhaya, Anvaay, Mahi Yuvi and Shivaay came back after the booking of a Porsche panamera as it was Abi's favourite.

Abhaya came and hugged Anika and then Gauri, Bhavya, Janvi and Pinky. She kept jumping from here to there. Pinky looked at her and smiled at the same time she got teary eyed thinking about the day she will go to her in law's house. Anika too sensed what pinky was thinking and hugged her.

Everyone had their dinner and went to their own rooms. Now, youngsters had their own rooms but still they used to meet in their childhood room where they used to sleep during childhood.

Yuvi was reading a book as he loves reading, Abi was busy in her dreaming session about her Car and Anvaay was busy in his office work as usual. Mahi came and looked at Anvaay and he just jumped on him, taking him in a hug.

Mahi : Bhai, I missed you so much. You know these two are very cruel, only you love me.

Anvaay : I have work, mahi.

Mahi ( In usual dramatic way ) : Hey bhagwan mera pyara bhai toh paraya dhan ho gaya.

Anvaay : stop being so over dramatic like Dadi ( Pinky).

Abi : Avu bhai, I think his name should have been minky like, Mahi + pinky = Minky.

Mahi : Bhaiya, look they are making fun of me, (to Yuvi) what ? Why are you laughing. You are looking chimpanzee in these long hair, long hair suit Bade papa ( om ) only.

Yuvi ( pointing his finger at Mahi ) : Aeee Don't talk about my hair or...

Mahi : or what ? I know bhai will save me from you, right bhai ? You will save your handsome, hot and dashing brother from this chaimpazee right ?

Anvaay ( Smirking) : I can do what I want. Yuvi !

He signalled Yuvi through his eyes and they started taking steps towards Mahi and Mahi started going backwards.

Mahi : Wwhat are you going to do ? Stay there. No..Nooooo

In a swift motion he was picked up from his thighs by Yuvi and Avu. They took him to the pool side and threw him into the pool. Avu and Yuvi were laughing but Abi came from behind and pushed the two in the pool. First they were shocked, but then they started laughing and enjoying there moments. Dil bole Obwroi moments were still there and their beauty was enhanced with the passing years.

Next day, as usual Shivika were caught while doing romance and now, they were being teased by everyone, especially the youngsters. That's when Abi brought out a topic that made Shivaay and Anika and the other members remember the time when they met each other.

Abi : Dad, Why isn't Anvaay bhai like you ? I mean you are so romantic and look at bhai, he can even beat the Hitler.

Anvaay glared Abi but then looked at Anika who started laughing.

Anika : You seriously think like that ? If you had seen your dad when I met him, you would have said that he is the teacher of Hitler.

Shivaay : Ok now don't go there. I agree that I was a stupid that time, but my better half changed me. She made me what I am today, she came to my life to make it beautiful. That's why I love her soo much.

Everyone went aww at such a simple yet romantic confession.

Anika : And my babu will also be an Ishqbaaz once he finds his lady.

Anvaay ( uninterested ) : Never gonna happen.

Saying so be picked up his phone and called someone. He was going outside the mansion to talk but then, he collided with someone. Well, not someone but a special one. He held HER from her waist as she was about to fall. He, with his kanji eyes, was staring HER like there was no tomorrow, Like SHE just came for him and he, for HER.

SHE was no less than him as SHE also stared in his eyes as if trying to find some precious gem. But then, the reality hit him as he realised what just happened. He made her stand properly and glared her angrily.

Anvaay : Can't you just see and walk ? Are you blind ?

The girl : haww ! Mr. Green eyes, You were the one who was doing romance with your phone and you are blaming me.

Anvaay : How dare you call me Mr.... Mr...

Girl ( With a questioning look ) : Mr. Green eyes ?

Ancaay ( closing his eyes in anger ) : just shutup. How dare you talk to me that way ? Who the hell are you and why are you here ?

Girl : Ok. Then say directly you want to know my name. I'm Devika Varma, your new neighbour.

Anvaay : who gave you a house in this locality, bloody ill-mannered girl.

Devika : Ill-mannered ? Me ? You are ill-mannered you... You BILLU.

Everyone cupped their cheeks, with their mouths turned O in shape. The youngsters were shocked as except Anika, no one dares to talk to Anvaay Singh Oberoi like that. According to them, the girl was surely dead in a minute or two. But no one noticed Shivaay and Anika's face that was glowing and their eyes spoke volumes as Shivaay intwined his hand with Anika's hand.

Shivaay ( In a voice which was audible only to Anika ) : Now, I understood why everyone used to say that we are a TAKKAR KI JODI and WHY they used to enjoy our fights.

Anika : Yes. I can see You in Anvaay.

Shivaay : And you, in Devika. By the way who she is ?

Anika : I met her in the morning, in our garden ( She smiled), She was trying to get a flower and when she saw me, she got scared. But then we bonded well and I asked her to come here and meet everyone. She and her grand parents have just shifted here.

Shivaay : And her parents ?

Anika : they are no more. She lives with her grand parents. That's why I called her here so that she doesn't feel alone. I know how I used to feel when you were not there.

Shivaay ( rubbing his thumb on her hand) : it's ok.

But their talk was interrupted by the fight sequence between The Oberoi and The Verma.

Devika : What you think of yourself, a king or something ? Listen, I know how to handle insane people like you. So you better...

Anvaay : You are crossing your limits. I don't know how your mom dad tolerate you. They must be keeping good distance from you always because you are so irrit...

Before he could say further, he was drenched in water as Devika emptied a jug of water on his head.

Devika : Don't drag my mom dad in this.

Anvaay got angry and broke his 30th phone of this month and left from there. Devika too, left from  there giving attitude to him.

Elders were enjoying the scene with much excitement as they got to live those days again, and a new hope was shining with all its glory that a TAKKAR KI ISHQBAAZI has started once again, to repeat the beautiful history of Ishqbaazi.

Seventeen years passed but the laughter is still the same, the love and little cute fights of siblings are still there, the romance of the Ishqbaaz couples is still there, the unity is still there. The most important thing, ISHQBAAZI is still their. Shivika, Rikara and RuVya are still those ISHQBAAZ who can die for each other. And remember, Four new love stories will be starting soon as Anvaay, Abhaya, Yuvi and Mahir have the same Ishqbaazi running through their veins.

LOVE DOESN'T MEAN TO LIVE A HUNDRED YEARS WITH YOUR LOVER. BUT, THOSE 'DO PAL' ARE ENOUGH FOR THE TWO SOULS IN LOVE. THESE 'DO PAL' SPENT WITH YOUR DEAR ONE CAN GIVE YOU A THOUSAND MEMORIES TO CHERISH FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.

SO DON'T YOU EVER THINK THAT YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO LIVE, TO LOVE BECAUSE EVERY SINGLE MOMENT IS PRECIOUS WHEN YOU LOVED SOMEONE AND THE MOMENT SOMEONE LOVED YOU.

The end
