"Saharsh, Ruhi! Chalo tayyar hone. Abhi daddy aayenge cake leke" I call my two little babies inside the bedroom and they come running towards me.

"Mumma chocolate cake na?" Ruhi asks. "Nahi pineapple" saharsh whines.

"Chocolate!"

"Pineapple!"

"Dono laayenge daddy" I say before they both start fighting.

I still remember the day when these two precious gems came in our lives.

3 months after our marriage, I took the pregnancy test when I missed my periods. Daadi was with me at that time and I was thrilled with the news.

When Randhir came back from office, I had told him that he was soon going to become a father and he had squealed in joy, hugging me so tight. It was the happiest I'd seen him. Soon we told the news to everyone over dinner the next Sunday.

Everyone was so excited and happy. I swear I saw tears in dad's eyes. He has now changed so much.

During the tests, we got to know that I'm carrying not one but 2 lives inside me. But that didn't scare us. In fact we were more happy. Twins run in Randhir's family so that was expected.

Unn nine months me mujhe Randhir se aur pyaar hua tha. He was always there for me. Whenever I felt sick, he was by my side taking care of me. Mere mood swings toh itne jhele the usne. Raat ke do baje jab mujhe gulaab jamun khaane ka mann hota tab vo bichara bina complain kiye, kise bhi restaurant se dhund ke laata.

Could I ask for a better husband?

During the day of the delivery I was so much in pain. Randhir was scared for his life. I remember how he couldn't see me in so much pain and kept shouting at the doctors to make it go away. Agar mai tabhi itne dard me nahi hoti toh Randhir ki haalat dekh ke bahot hassti.

But when I delivered the babies, it felt like everything was worth it. All the morning sickness, all the cravings and mood swings and the pain. All worth it.

Randhir itna roya vo din. He kept repeating how much he loved me. His hands were shaking when he lifted our little girl. How I was crying tears of joy when I had Saharsh in my arms for the first time.

He kissed my forehead and told me that I've given him the best gift. And I'd said that our little family is now complete.

Looking after two babies was going to be difficult so I quit the job. I wanted to give all my attention to both of them. I didn't trust any nannies to handle my angels.

"Mumma! Harsh ne mujhe dhakka diya" I hear Ruhi's voice from behind me and when I look behind she is on the floor and started crying.

Hey Bhagwan ye ladka!

Harsh looks at me with panicked eyes and hangs his head in shame. "Mumma maine dheere se diya tha. Vo girr gayi" he says and goes to pick up his sister.

They may fight every minute but they love each other to the core. He slowly dusts her skirt and she smiles wiping her eyes. My heart melts looking at them.

I remove their clothes and dress them up. I zip up Ruhi's cute pink frock and look at her. So beautiful.

When I look at Harsh, he has already put on the shirt and is struggling to button it up. I pull him towards me lightly and button them.

Itna tamasha kiya tha isne ke isse daddy ki tarah hi shirts aur jeans chahiye. He hates wearing t-shirts. Kehta hai ke ab vo bada ho gaya hai aur daddy ki tarah hi shirts pehnega.

Daddy's boy!

"Mai ghar aa gaya" comes a voice from outside and Ruhi runs outside and Saharsh follows.

I smile and go outside to see both our kids jumping around Randhir and asking him to pick them up.

"Daddy ko andar toh aane do" I say and take the big plastic bags from him.

"Hey baby" he says and kisses my cheek. He looks at my blue dress and smiles with a twinkle in his eye.

"You look beautiful" he says. "Can't wait to take that dress off you" he slowly whispers in my ear so that only I can hear him and I hit his arm shyly as our kids look at us with confused expressions.

"Mai kaisi lag rahi hu daddy" Ruhi asks and does a little twirl for him. "Very beautiful, princess" he says and picks her up.

"Mai aapke jaisa na daddy" Harsh hops on his back and Randhir chuckles. "Ha ha. Mujhse bhi behtar" he says.

I keep the cakes in the fridge and hear Randhir and our kids squealing and laughing outside. My lifelines.

After a few moments Randhir comes and hugs me from behind. "You really do look beautiful" he says and kisses my neck. I lean into his touch and turn around to look at him.

"I love this dress" he says playing with the strap of my kurti. "I love you" I respond and he smiles, his chocolate brown eyes looking at me with so much love.

He captures my lips in his and gently kisses me. When I start responding to his kiss, his kiss becomes more urgent and passionate as his fingers tangle in my hair and he pulls me closer.

"Randhir" I breathe out, my lips still touching his. "Sab aate hi honge. Bachhe hai ghar pe" I say but my voice sounds really weak and my hands are not ready to let go.

"You gotta be firmer than that Mrs Shekhawat" Randhir says and gently bites my lower lip.

The door bell rings and Randhir groans in irritation. "Damn!" he curses. "Kya timing hai".

I chuckle. When I go out and open the door, it's Vidushi and Parth who is carrying their one year old little girl Dhriti. She is sleeping.

"Oh my god Vidushi, Parth, come in come in" I say and Vidushi hugs me and Parth gives me a side hug.

"Buaa!" Ruhi and Saharsh scream in unison and come running towards us. Vidushi bends down to hug them.

"Aww mere bachhe. Happy birthday" she says and they both say thank you.

We all sit in the living room and I pour them some orange juice.

Randhir comes from behind and pulls Vidushi's hair and she yelps in surprise. Ye dono abhi bhi aise hi hai.

"Of course it's you! Dishu daayan" he says as she hits him.

"Daddy, daayan matlab kya?" Saharsh asks innocently and Parth chokes on his drink as Vidushi glares at her brother.

"Ye jo tumhari buaa hai na, usko pyaar se daayan bulaate hai sab" Randhir answers with a smirk.

"Ha? Toh mai bhi aapko daayan buaa bulaau?" He asks with innocent eyes and Parth and Randhir start laughing loudly and even I can't control my laughter.

"Bahot hassi aa rahi hai tumhe. Zameen pe sona hai?" Vidushi threatens Parth and he immediately stops laughing.

All this commotion makes Dhriti slowly open her eyes as she looks at everything around her with wide eyes.

"Mumma ye bilkul doll ki tarah hai na? Please mujhe bhi isse godi me lena hai buaa" Ruhi says.

Vidushi makes her sit on the sofa and places Dhriti on her lap. She gurgles some words and laughs when Saharsh starts making funny faces looking at her.

After some time, daadi, dad and mom arrive and Aryan and Kritika with their son, Yash, come too.

Both the cakes are cut and we all sing happy birthday. Three years already. Kyu itne jaldi bade ho rahe hai mere bachhe.

When we sit together for dinner, I look around to see all my favourite people in one room and suddenly get emotional. I've never had a family. But now I have one. A big happy family right here with me in this same room. What did I do to deserve such a beautiful life.

"Hey Sanyukta, everything okay?" Randhir gently squeezes my hand when he sees that I'm quite.

"Yes yes. Just feeling really happy" I say.

Dinner is really fun. Dad, Vidushi and me keep roasting Randhir. Randhir keeps saying ke uske dad usse jyada mujhse pyaar karte hai and I always laugh on his face.

Daadi is completely fit and fine abhi bhi. She still stays with the kids in the orphanage run by Randhir's social institute.

It's going really well and Randhir has received many awards for his good work and Little Smiles has now become really renowned in India.

Aryan and Kritika are expecting one more baby and Kritika is 6 months pregnant so they leave early due to Kritika's sickness.

The others are staying here overnight and finally when all the gifts are opened, we all decide to go to sleep.

I check upon everyone and have a little talk with daadi. Then I go to see whether my babies are already asleep.

I see that Randhir is already in their room and Ruhi and Saharsh are on either side of him.

"Daddy, Dheer aur Yukti ki story aaj wapas" Ruhi says placing her little head on his chest.

"But Harsh ko superhero ki story sunni hai na" he asks looking at saharsh.

"Nahi daddy. Mujhe bhi pasand hai vo story" he answers and he too places his head on Randhir's shoulder.

I literally melt at this beautiful sight. Meri pyaari si family.

"Bahot saal pehle ki baat hai. Ek bahot hi bade Kingdom me ek Rajkumar rehta tha jiska naam tha Dheer...."

Randhir starts the story, the same one which I love too, and I stand there transfixed listening to my husband who is telling our story to our kids as they fall asleep.

"... Dheer ko toh ho gaya pyaar. Fir kya? Ziddi Yukti ko bahot bahot manaaya. Apna pura dil saaf kiya. Aur fir Yukti ko bhi Dheer se pyaar ho gaya. Vo dono ki shaadi me pure kingdom ne jashn manaya. Then they had two little beautiful kids. Jinse vo bahot pyaar karte the.."

"Aur vo bhi apne mom dad se bahot pyaar karte the na" Saharsh says half in sleep and Randhir smiles.

"Ha.. vo bhi unse bahot pyaar karte the. They were the best babies in the world" Randhir nods.

"And they lived happily ever after.." Ruhi whispers beside him with her eyes closed.

"Yes they did" Randhir ends the story and I smile as he kisses Saharsh and Ruhi who are already asleep.

I tip toe to our bedroom and make the bed. My eyes fall on the small photo frame on the bedside table. I smile and pick it up looking at it closely.

It's the picture of the fair where Randhir had declared his love for me on the Ferris wheel.

Kitne saal ho gaye ab. Tab pata bhi nahi tha ke itne aage tak aayenge hum. We both are smiling like goofy idiots. Me in that little white dress. Randhir's arm casually slung over my shoulder. He looked so handsome that day in his white t-shirt and the denim shirt jacket over it. His love declarations have always been so special.

Oh what days those were.

College ke din sach me bahot achhe the. Alag hi waqt tha vo. But uska matlab ye nahi ke ab ki life kuch kam hai.

Shadi ke paanch saal baad bahot kuch change ho gaya hai. Humari relationship bahot change ho gayi hai.

Pehle jaise har time Randhir ko dekh ke meri heart beat fast hoti thi, ya vo jab meri taraf dekh ke hassta tha, tab jaise butterflies se lagte the pet me, ab waisa nahi lagta.

Ab butterflies feel hone band ho gaye hai. Aur jab usse dekhti hu tab heartbeat fast nahi, balki ek alag si shaanti milti hai. Jab vo mere aas paas hota hai tab ek secure feeling aati hai. Calmness. Peace.

Jab hum cuddle karte hai, meri heartbeat slow ho jaati hai. Sote hue uske dheemi saanson ki aawaz mujhe comfort deti hai.

Our relationship doesn't feel like a roller coaster anymore. It feels like home.

Ab har raat hum ek dusre ko chipak ke nahi sote. Bilkul ek dusre ki baaho me vagera. Nahi. Ab bass side by side comfortably sote hai. Kabhi alag alag side face kar ke bhi.

Lekin aisa jab bhi hota hai tab hum dono aadhi neend ke ek dusre ki taraf sarak toh jaate hi hai.

Koi raate aisi hoti hai jab Randhir aadhi neend me mujhe apni taraf kheech leta hai, tightly, closely. Ab usse bhi aadat ho gayi hai na. Jaise mai uska comfort hu.

Kabhi kabhi subah jab sunrise bhi nahi hua hota, aur meri aankh khul jaati hai, mai uske chest pe sarr rakhti hu aur uske heartbeats sunnte sunnte wapas so jaati hu.

Kisses ab romantic aur fiery nahi rahe. Lekin ab itne saare hote hai. Bahot bahot bahot.

Kabhi garmiyo ke mausam ke thandi kisses hote hai jab ice cream khaate hai hum. Kabhi saath me bake karne ka soche, aur muh pe aataa chipkaa ho tab funny kisses hote hai.

Ab hote hai 'baby mai office ja raha hu' kisses aur 'mai ghar aa gaya' kisses.

Ab alarm ki jagah sleepy morning kisses hote hai jinse din ki shuruwat hoti hai. There are kisses before sleep and kisses jab khana achha bannta hai.

There are kisses because mai bachho aur family ka itna achha khayal rakhti hu. Aur 'I am very happy ke humari shadi hui' kisses.

Kisses hote hai jab hum bachho ke saath koi animated movie dekhte hai TV pe aur unse chhup ke ek quick kiss ho jaati hai.

Ab space ki koi baat nahi rahi. Cupboard me kabhi mera dupatta uske pants ke beech rehta hai aur uska shirt mere kurtis ke beech.

Ab har time ek dusre ko lovey dovey text messages nahi hote jisme hum likhe ke hum ek dusre se kitna pyaar karte hai. Kyu ki ab toh vo given hai. Vo phase se ab bahot aage badh gaye hai.

Balki ab humare khud ke hi ajeeb se inside jokes bann gaye hai. Public place me jab koi kuch funny ya wierd kare tab mai aur Randhir ek dusre ko ek look me hi sab kuch samjha dete hai.

Humari alag si ek private duniya ho jaise. Sabse alag.

Ab itna time saath me ho jaane ke baad relationship fairytale nahi hai. Fireworks aur sparks nahi. Balki ek shaanti bhari life hai. Jaise background me continuously koi bahot hi melodic soothing si tune bajj rahi ho.

Ye life jisme bahot saara pyaar hai, hassi hai, care hai, khushi hai, kabhi kabhi jhagde bhi hai. But sukoon hai.

Bahot sukoon hai.

And I love it.

"Kya soch reli hai itne der se? Kab se apni hi duniya me khoyi hui" I hear Randhir's voice and see him leaning on the door frame.

I let out a laugh. Sab change hua but ye nahi. Ye kabhi nahi hoga. He will always be my Randhir and I'll always be his Sanyukta.

"Tere se shaadi kar ke pachtaa reli hu. Ye pet dekh kitna fulaa hua. Bhaalu maafik ho gayla hai" I say when he comes inside and I pat his stomach.

He is still very much in shape ha. Mera sexy drool worthy Randhir.

"Khud ko dekh bey tu. Shadi ke baad itni fuul gayi hai. Tarbuuz kahi ki" he says and sits on the bed in front of me.

"Achhaa? Itna pareshaan hai mere se? Toh vo de na merko. Kya bolte usko? Divorce divorce" I say and fold my hands.

"Terko divorce deke kidhar jaayega re mai. Merko tu aise hi moti pasand hai. Aur tere alawa iss 27 saal ke bachhe ko koi jhel paayega?" he asks and leans closer so that our foreheads are touching.

I smile and peck his lips. "I love you Randhir" I say.

"I love you too Sanyukta".
