A guy and a girl are sitting on the sea banks at the beach. It's their favorite place. The guy is sitting leaning on a big rock while the girl is sitting beside him, leaning on his chest. She looks at him.

"You're all set. Now what's the plan?" she asks.

"Of course!!  I'll meet your parents!"  the guy replies calmly.

She jumps apart and looks at him. A small smile is playing on his lips. It's hard for her to believe him.

"Sachi! You're serious?"  She looks at him, her eyes wide open.

"Yes! I'll tell mom about you." He says.

"But, you need to meet dad first! Mum will agree, but dad! I'm doubtful."  She says fearfully.

" I'll convince him. Don't worry. Afterall, he loves you so much. And he'll want your happiness only." the guy says softly.

She smiles at his words. Surely, her father loves her and he'll do anything for her happiness. She hopes that her father will agree and approve of her choice. She leans against him and pecks his lips lightly, before gazing at the sky.

*****

On the other hand, a girl enters the beach premises and a guy follows her inside.

"Listen! Aisa nahi hai jaisa tum samajh rahi ho!"  He holds her wrist.

The young girl  jerks his hand and glares at him.

"I don't want to talk to you! Tum jao, us Ishita ke paas hi jao!!  Huh!"  She frowns at the guy and moves ahead towards the sea banks.

He smiles at her words. Is she angry because he was talking to some other girl, or is there any other reason behind it? He fastens his pace and again meets her, walking with her.

"Why are you angry?"  he asks.

"Maine kaha na mujhe tumse baat nahi karni. Tumhare paas toh time hai hi nahi mere liye."  she says angrily.

"Arey! Par mujhe toh tumse baat karni hai. Tum aise yahan kyun aa gayi!"  he asks.

" as if you don't know!" the girl glares at him angrily.

He smiles, he knows the reason though. He holds her hand and pulls her close, such that she dashes against his chest. He cups her face and she tries to jerk him, she is really angry. But, he takes a chance and seals her lips with his. She's shocked at the moment but begins to respond after a few seconds. They share a soft yet passionate kiss - all full of love.

They part the hug and he looks at her - - mouthing the three words she wanted to listen to, from him. She glares at him for one time, but then hugs him, reciprocating her feelings, and they spend some time together.

*****

A  big bungalow stands tall in the most posh area of Mumbai City. It belongs to an ace Businessman, Viren Goenka. He's well known in the business world, and he's a down to earth family man as well. He glances at the watch for the umpteenth time, and this time, his wife, Bulbul chides him.

"Stop watching the clock, Viren." she says as she sips her black coffee.

"Arey, par wo dono aayi hi nahi abhi tak!"  he reasons , concerned about his darling daughters.

"Toh! Tum aise ghadi dekhoge toh bhi wo dono jaldi na aayengi." Bulbul replies calmly.

"Arey par, 9 baj chuke hain, wo dono aayi kyun nahin!" he asks worriedly.

Viren is not only a focussed businessman, but a great family man. His life lies in his daughters - - Anamika and Raina who are fraternal twins. Though the girls are twenty years old now, yet he treats them as little babies, and keep them in his hands. Their wishes are always fulfilled, though, their wrong demands are never fulfilled. He's worried because his daughters aren't home yet and his wife is calm. Well, she's been this way because she has seen her father very protective of her and her mom has always been calm. Well, these two are behaving the same as Bulbul's parents used to behave - - caring and protective of her.

"Why don't you take a walk, Viren! Aa jayegi wo. Apne friends ke sath gayi hain na! They'll be back soon."  Bulbul says, trying to calm her hubby.

But, a father is never at rest. He wants to see his girls at home, in front of his eyes. Meanwhile, they hear the sound of the main gate.  Bulbul smiles.

" Lo! Aa gayi tumhari betiyan! " she says.

The two girls enter the house and  smile at their parents. They glance at each other fearfully. Maybe, he will scold them for being late.

"Sorry dad! Time ka pata nahi chala! Isliye late ho gaya!"  Both the girls - - Raina and Anamika say in unison.

"Acha where you two were!"  Viren asks, looking  at them.

Both the girls share a glance. Did he notice if there is anything wrong with them? Or did he get it where they have been all the while - - on the beach?  What if he gets to know that they were not with any friend but boyfriends!! Both the sisters glance at each other and begin to speak slowly.

"Bataya toh tha daddy!" Raina clings on his back.

"Haan! Sneha ka birthday tha na. Fir sneha, hum dono aur sneha ki mom beach par chale gaye they"  Anamika says hugging her dad.

"Sneha ki mom ne hi drop kia hume!"  Raina replies cutely.

"Aur yahan tumhare dad ko tension ho rahi thi. Ab toh you're fine na, Viren?" Bulbul casts a look at her hubby.

" Uffo dad! Itni tension na liya karo." Anamika says as she plops on the couch.

"it's not good for your health. Abhi hum nai chahte hamare handsome daddy fat ho jaye. Tension se problem ho sakti hai na dad!"  Raina says.

"Tumhare dad ko kisi cheez ki fikr nahi hai, betu! Apni health ki bhi nahi! Kitna samjhati hun, samajhte hi nahi!" Bulbul says keeping her hand on his head.

"Relax mom! Dad tab samjhenge jab unko competition milega!"  Anamika grins.

" Aur competitor bhi."  Raina says teasingly.

"Ek nahi do!"  Anamika says, but she bites her tongue, as soon as the words leave her mouth.

Oops! The wrong is done. Did she just give him a clue that there is someone in their lives? She hopes Viren doesn't interrogate them further. But he looks at them.

" Kiski baat ho rahi hai??"  he asks looking at both the girls.

" kisi - - kisi ki nahi dad!" the girls again say in unison, gulping down their throats.

"Hum toh aapki baat kar rahe they. Aapko apna dhyan rakhna chahiye." Raina says..

"Haan! Aur mumma ke sath time spend karna chahiye."  Anamika says, much naughtily.

" Aur kya!  Aaj aapke pas kitna sara time tha!" Raina says.

"Sara time toh tension mein nikaal deta koi!" Bulbul murmurs and the girls giggle.

Viren looks away , he knows what his daughters mean. Raina gives him a push towards Bulbul.

"Dekho meri mumma kitni udaas hai!  All because of you. Very bad!" Anamika says as she hugs Bulbul.

"I didn't expect this from you, Mr. Goenka!"  Raina says seriously.

"Arey what  did I do? Mana time kam hota hai par I love your - - - ." Viren says, but a phone ring disturbs them.

It's Raina's phone and she cuts it, seeing the caller ID.  Viren glances at his daughter. It's unusual for him, because it's her best friend calling, and she has cut it.

" Arey! Why did you cut it? Tum hi kehti ho Preesha har baat ko dil se laga leti hai. Aur ab tumne phone cut kardiya."  he says, taking it as the mentioned girl.

"It wasn't Preesha, Dad!" Raina says.

" Toh! Itni raat ko kiska call tha!!!" Viren questions again, something leaves him stirred.

Any caring father would doubt, Viren looks at Raina who gulps her throat. Anamika keeps her chin on her sister's shoulder.

" I know it wasn't Preesha, but declare kyun kia! Ab dad ko kya bologi, behna!" Anamika whispers in Raina's ears.

Raina bites her lips, she should not have said those words. She finds Viren staring at her, and Bulbul looks at them.

"Ye kya ho raha hai?? I mean, tum dono kuch chupa toh nahi rahi na!!"  Bulbul rolls her eyes at her daughters.

"No mom!" Both the girls say nonchalantly.

"Toh kya chal raha hain?"  Viren rolls his eyes at them.

"Wahi jo aap nahi karte, Dad!"  Anamika says making a face.

" Maine kya nahi kiya?"   he rolls his eyes.

"Mauke ka Fayda nahi uthaya aapne, Dad. You wasted a golden opportunity, aaj toh Mumma bhi ghar pe thi."  Raina says meaningfully,

" You're so boring, Dad!" Anamika makes a face.

"Main toh hamesha hi kehti hoon, tum dono ko toh samajh hi nahi aata. Hamesha dad ke peeche ghumti rehti ho!"  Bulbul plays along.

" Obviously mumma! Ab dad aapke peeche rehte hain, toh hume toh unke peeche hi rehna padega na!"  Anamika shrugs her shoulders and shares a high five with Raina.

Bulbul looks at her daughters with an open mouth. Oh! They are being way more naughty than they should be. She slaps on their arms.

" Tum dono kuch zyada nahi bol rahi? ". She rolls her eyes, though, trying to hide her blush.

"We say the truth!" the girls speak in unison.

It's a habit of the two girls, they speak certain things in unison. Sometimes they enjoy it and play along with their father. Right now, the two girls are giggling. Bulbul shakes her head and looks at her husband.

"Samjha lo dono ko. Bahut shaitan ho gayi hain. Aur meri toh sunengi nahi." she says to her husband.

"Aapki baat dad sunenge!"  Both the girls say in unison and then rush towards their room, giggling, leaving their parents to their own selves.

******

The girls enter their room. Their room is not a simple one, but there are two gateways in the opposite directions, which leads to two different rooms.  The one they have entered is a small room, with a bed and a  television where the girls spend time  watching television or movies. Else, they have their own rooms. But the two of them can't stay away from each other, so they're almost together - - every time, every moment. They jumped on the bed, closing the door. Meanwhile, Raina's phone rings, and a concerned voice fills her ears. She smiles but then shushes.

"You landed me in trouble today!" She says.

" You know dad, kitne sawal karte hai!" Raina says over the pbone.

Meanwhile, Anamika snatches the phone from Raina's hand,who glared at her.

"Exactly! Aaj hi" THE END " ho jana tha!  God saved us!"  Anamika says.

"Tumhe kya hua? Maine tumhe call nahi kiya!!" a masculine voice from the other side fills the room.

"Meri behna ko toh kia!  Tumhara dost toh call bhi nahi karta mujhe!"  Anamika makes a face.

Raina glances at Anamika and snatches her phone from her hand.

"Jao apne boyfriend ko shikayat karo! Mere ishaan ko pareshan na karo." Raina says.

Anamika makes a face while Raina continues her call. It's Ishaan - - her college mate and boyfriend too. He's the one she spent her evening with. After talking for a while, she disconnected the call. She changes into casuals - - and runs to her sister's room who's now lying on the bed, talking over the phone. Raina smirks, she snatches the  phone.

" Vineet! You should fix times, you know! To Call Ana! Nahi toh wo mujhe pareshan karegi."  Raina says jokingly.

"I even have a better idea.." Raina says but Anamika snatches her phone.

"Jaake so ja! Mujhe baat karne de!"  Anamika glares at her sister.

"Na Na! You did the same. I'll  also do." Raina says teasingly.

"Talk to Dad, Vineet! Fir isko le jaao! Ye mujhe bahut pareshan karti hai!!" Raina says teasingly.

Anamika glares at her and Raina jumps off the bed and Anamika throws the cushion at her sister. Raina runs out of her room,and Anamika sighs.

She's been talking to Vineet, her best friend, and boyfriend too. He's the one who promised to meet up her dad for their relationship. Vineet's been a genuine friend to both the sisters. They talk for a little while and  they disconnect the call.

*****

Viren and Bulbul are in their room. Bulbul is applying oil in her hair  while Viren is sitting on the bed. He's lost in Thoughts when Bulbul chides him.

"Ab kya hua tumhe?" she asks as she sits on the bed.

"Tumhe nahi lagta, Raina aur Ana kuch chupa rahe hain." He says.

"Haan Haan!  Tumpe gayi haina! Tum bina baat itna soch rahe ho!" Bulbul slaps his arm.

"Arey par!!"  he says but his wife pulls him towards herself, sealing his lips with hers.

Oh! She's not in a mood to hear him.

*****

Anamika marches into Raina's room. The girl is reading a book. Anamika snatches the book from her hand.

"Arey give my book!" Raina glares at her sister.

" Nai! Main tujhe satati hoon na! Ab dekh!" Anamika jumps off the bed.

Raina runs behind her trying to take the book. But a paper slips off the book. Before Raina could catch it, anamika holds the paper..

" ooh! Love letter! Ab main Ye padhungi."  Anamika says.

" No! Wo mera hai! " Raina shouts.

" take it if you can!" Anamika says teasingly and  runs out of The room.

"Ana! Give it back!" Raina shouts.

"Noo! Main bhi dekhun love letter."    Anamika says.

" Acha fir main dad ko Vineet ke baare mein bata deti hoon" Raina says teasingly.

That's the only way to stop her darling sister. Anamika glances at her.

"Noo!"

"Yess!". Raina says teasingly and runs out of the door.

Anamika drops the paper and runs behind her sister.

"Raina noo!" she shouts..

"I will tell dad! Mumma papa!" Raina knocks on the door of her parents' room. Anamika is pulling Raina back but the girl is adamant.

*****

Viren and Bulbul jump apart, as they hear the knock. Viren grimaces, his oh so beautiful moment is spoiled-- again because of his daughters. Bulbul pushes him to open the door.  As he opens the Door , Anamika and Raina enter the room.

"Dad! Ye Ana!!" Raina begins to speak but Anamika puts her hand on her sister's mouth.

"Arey! Ye kya hai??" Viren glares at them.

"Kuch nahin dad!  Aise hi!". Anamika makes an excuse.

"Nooo!" Raina pulls off Anamika's hand.

"Dad! You should know it…" Raina says.

Anamika glares at Raina who passes her a teasing smile. These two are pulling pranks on each other.

"Dad! Is ne bhi aapse kuch chhupaya!" Anamika points at Raina.

"Toh isne bhi  chhupaya!" Raina  points out at Anamika.

Viren looks at both The girls. He's confused.

"Baat kya hai?" he asks.

" Kuch nahi hai Viren. Dono hume satane aayi hai! Koi nayi shaitani sujhi hogi! Isliye keh rahi hoon, ladke dekhna shuru kardo! Fir sataye apne pati ko." Bulbul says while looking at the girls with  the corner of her eyes.

"Noo! Humko nahi karni shadi!" Both the sisters say in unison.

"Acha bachu! Shadi ke naam pe dekho kaise ek team ban gayi hai.."  Bulbul says.

"Baal vivaah is wrong, mum!" Anamika says as she hugs her father.

" We can't let you do the wrongs, Mum!" Raina says  innocently and hugs Bulbul.

"Achaa jii!  Tum dono itne bhi chote nahi ho!" Bulbul says.

"Han ab wo aap dekho but we are still daddy's little girls!" they say in unison as they climb up the bed.

"That's true! But ab bahut derr ho gayi! Jao so jao." viren pats their heads.

"That's what we're doing dad!" Anamika pulls him on the bed.

"yep!  We're sleeping together today." Raina chuckles and pulls Bulbul on her side.

"Arey! Par yahan kyu!!" Viren sighs.

" Hamari marzi! You have to adjust daddy!"  the two girls say in unison.

"Why me!" Viren whines and  looks at Bulbul. She's laughing at his condition.

"these are the perks of being a dad." She says.

The two girls are now cuddling each other. A small smile is playing on their lips. Viren and Bulbul  smile at them. Surely, these two are their little treasure, they'll cherish all their life. They kiss their heads and lie on their respective sides, their hands entangled, from over their two daughters. Their life is surely happy and blessed.
