This morning was beautiful. It brought with it a ray of love, a ray of happiness. It was a new day in their lives, a day of new and fresh beginnings. A day that would be etched in their hearts forever.

Ye ek nayi subah thi, ek aesi jiske rom rom mein mohabbat ka ehsaas tha. Ek aesi subah jismein na koi gile tha aur na hi koi shikwe, thi toh bas beshumar mohabbat.

(Payal and Lavanya were helping two brides get ready. The brides that woke up this morning with a heart mixed with emotions of happiness, excitement, and nervousness. Brides who were ready to welcome a new and lovely addition into their lives. Our Meera and Bani.)

Meera was dressed in a pastel green lehenga. With it was a dupatta that had pink flowers embroidered on it and a heavy border. She was wearing a lot of jewelry with it and looked like a bride descended from above. She looked and felt the most wholesome and heavenly in it.

Bani on the other hand was wearing a classic heavy red lehenga with gold work on it. Lavanya was helping her put her bangles on. She looked completely mesmerizing.

Lavanya- Hayee... Tum dono ko dekh kar toh aaj Haider aur Veer ko kahi dil ka dohra hi na pad jaye.

Bani- Dhat! kuch bhi bolti ho.

Lavanya - Ohho, abhi toh shaadi hui bhi nahi par abhi se full on patidev ki side li ja rahi hein! Kya baat hein! (she teases Bani)

Bani-Lavv!!

Payal - Really, aap dono bohot khubsurat lag rahi hein!

Meera/Bani- Thank you Payal! (They both look at each other and smile.)

Lavanya - Aaj Meera ka chehra kitna glow kar raha hein...Nahi Payal?

Payal - Ji...(she chuckles)

Meera-Lav!

Lavanya - Waise, I love this heartbreak to heart attack transformation.

Meera- Lav ki bachi...tu ruk abhi!

(Lavanya runs away from Meera's side, laughing.)

On the other side of the house, Veer and Haider were getting ready.

Aman - Ohho, kya baat hein... Hamare bhaiyon ko toh dekho.

Akash - Aaj hamare bhai paraye dhan banne wale hein (he says teasing a fake sad expression)

(Aman laughs)

Veer - Hogaya tum dono ka...

Aman- Abhi kaise? Abhi toh bhabhiyon se milna baaki hai

Haider/Veer-Kyaa??

Haider-Meera aa rahi hai kya??

(he says not able to control his excitement)

Veer- Sweetheart! Chalo chalo milne chalte hain!

(he blurts out)

Akash- Dekha! Bola tha na! Bhabhi ka naam bhi nahi liya aur dono ke kaan khade ho gaye. (he chuckles)

Aman- Aap dono nahi, hum milne jaa rahe hai. Aap toh ruko idhar! Hume mana nahi haii, apko hai! (he says teasing them both.)

Haider- Not fair! Aur vaise bhi, hume pata hai tum dono bas hume chidhane ke liye Bani aur Meera ka naam le rahe ho. Asal mein toh kisi aur se hi milne jaa rahe ho!!

(Veer says, trying to turn back the teasing.)

Veer- hahah! Pakad liya na tum dono ko! Baap se hoshiyaari nahi beta!

(Veer and Haider laugh)

Aman- Chalo maana, hum apni apni mohotarmaaon se milne jaa rahe hai. Par atleast hum mil toh sakte hai!!

(he sticks his tongue out, teasing Veer.)

Veer- Tu ruk! Abhi bata hun tujhe!!

(They all break into laughter, truly cherishing this moment.)

***
(Veer and Haider walk out and approach on their respective mandaps.)

(After a while, Payal and Lavanya accompany Meera and Bani downstairs. Veer and Haider's eyes were fixed on their brides. They both looked absolutely breathtaking. Meera and Bani also look at them and a smile appears on their face.)

(The priest starts chanting the mantras. Then the couples get up for the Jaimala rasam.

As Bani is about to put the garland on Veer, Aman lifts him up.)

Aman - Itni aasani se nahi mam!

(Everybody chuckles.)

Akash - Bilkul... (He says lifting Haider up) Aap sab mohtarmao ko thodi mehnat karni padegi. Bichare hamare bhaiyon ne itna wait kiya, thoda aap dono bhi karo!

Tapish - Accha...toh hamari beheno ke bhai bhi kam nahi. (He says lifting Bani up)

Virat - No doubt! Challenge toh aapke liye hein... Humari beheno ko mala pehanwakar toh dikhaiye! (He says, lifting Meera up)

(Both the couples have cute banters. As one tries to put the garland on another, the other person would move back.
Bani tries putting the garland on Veer. For a second he stops moving backward and Bani feels that she had probably won but that's when Veer acts out a flying kiss. Bani stops for a second, taken aback. Taking advantage of the situation Veer puts the garland across her neck.)

Bani - Tum... Tum!

Aman - Ohho... Humara bhai jeet gaya!

Bani- Ye cheating thi...

Veer - Maine kya kiya sweetheart? (he says innocently)

(Everybody chuckle looking at the lovely duo and their cute teasing and bonding.)
(Haider and Meera also finally put the garland across each other.)

(They all settle down on the seats and the priests tell them to tie the mangalsutra and fill the vermillion in the bride's hair partition.

Payal lifts up the veil on Meera's head and Haider puts the sindoor on her head and ties the mangalsutra, looking at her with utmost love, respect, and sincerity.

Lavanya then lifts Bani's veil and Veer looks at her with affection. He then fills her partition and some vermillion falls on Bani's nose.)

(Bani rubs her nose cutely to remove the vermillion and Veer chuckles seeing her reaction.)

Lavanya- Arey Bani, hata kyun rahi hein? Waise bhi kehte hein ki agar naak par sindoor gire matlab pati zyada pyar karta hein.

Veer- Arre toh yeh batane ke liye sindoor girne ka wait kyun karna. Yeh toh mein aise hi bata deta.

(Everybody chuckles)

(Veer and Bani smile looking at each other.)

(They then have the kanyadaan rasam.)

Veer- Aaj bhale hi hamari shaadi ho rahi ho, par Bani utni hi aapki hai jitni meri. Mein bas uski zindagi ka ek hissa banunga, jo har kadam par uske saath rahega.

He says and a smile forms on Bani's face. Her respect for him that day increased even more and somewhere a thought came to her mind. If they ever have a daughter, Veer would be a perfect dad spoiling his daughter for good. (a chuckle leaves her mouth)

Rakesh looked at his son-in-law proudly. He did the rasam for both Meera and Bani.

(They then get up for the pheras, making promises that would last a lifetime.)

Haider - Main wada karta hu Meera, ki inn saare vachano ko main apni anthim sans tak nibhaunga. Phero main bhale kabhi ek aage hota hein aur doosra pheeche par zindagi main hum humesha ek dusre ke saath chalenge, har kadam par, yunhi hathon main hath dal kar.

Meera - Main bhi wada karti hu Haider ki main puri zindagi ye waade nibhaungi. Ek patni ke saath saath, main aapki dost, saathi, humdard aur humraah, sab bankar rahungi.

(Bani and Veer also take seven rounds around the holy Agni. Each round they took tied them up for eternity.
They all smile and then have the bidai ceremony.)

(Meera and Bani hug Rakesh. This moment was very emotional for all three of them.)

Haider - Aap sab ro kyun rahe hein? Aapki betiyaan aapse dur thodi ja rahi hein...Bas unki life main ek khubsurat sa addition hone ja raha hein, isiliye bidaai rokar nahi muskura kar kariye.

(Rakesh hugs Haider)

Balwant - Bilkul Rakesh bhai sahab! Bahu nahi beti lekar ja rahe hein hum.

Rakesh - Main bohot kismat wala jo mujhe aese damad aur samdhi mile hein. Aaj Rajvee bhabhi aur Tej hote toh woh bhi bohot khush hote...

(They all smile, reminiscing Meera's parent's memories, and take the blessing of all the elders.)

(The girls then take both the brides to their rooms. The guys were very eager to see their brides. A chapter of their life had ended and a new one was about to begin.)

***
(Haider enters his room which was decorated with flower petals and scented candles. There was an aroma of lavender filling the room. He felt very nervous but there was a feeling of wholesomeness inside him. He was finally married to his Meera. They were each other's now.)

(He then looks at the lady sitting in the center of the bed with a veil covering her face. His wife. As she hears his footsteps, her hold firms on her ghagra. Haider could see her partially through the veil and could make out that she was nervous.)

(He moves towards the bed and lifts her veil. She doesn't lift her eyes and continues gazing downwards.)

Haider - Beautiful!

(She lifts her eyes slowly.)

Haider - You look beautiful Meera!

(He says and starts removing the bangles from her hands. Meera's heart races as she mutters.)

Meera -Tha... Thank you, Haider.

(While removing the bangles from her hand, he kisses it. He lifts her other hand and whispers in a husky tone.)

Haider - Apne shauhar ke liye koi compliment nahi?

(He says, keeping his eyes on her bangles while Meera gazes at him with her doe eyes.)

Meera - You look goo... Good...

Haider - Just Good...? (He kisses her other hand and places it down.)

Meera - I mean gre... Greatt... (she says in a soft tone)

(Haider moves closer to her lips but Meera turns her face, feeling shy.)

Haider- Do I have your consent Meera?

(Meera nods, feeling too shy to speak)

(Haider slightly traces his fingers on her bareback while Meera closes her eyes feeling his touch. Haider kisses her back.)

Meera- Hai... Haider.

Haider - Hmmm... Boliye?

(He slowly whispers in her ears while untieing her necklace.)

(Meera felt ethereal. She couldn't even answer him. She felt shy yet radiant. Haider slowly removes her earings while kissing her cheeks. She blushes.)

(He slowly starts undressing her while Meera keeps looking at him. He unhooks her blouse and pulls it down gently. Haider looks at her and kisses her forehead. Meera felt butterflies in her stomach. Haider looks at her with a sensuous yet loving gaze. She was beautiful. They both lie on the bed. He was on top of her. He captures her lips and she responds to it with the same passion. He then undresses while Meera closes her eyes.)

Haider- Look at me jaan. (He says kissing her again) This body... This soul... is yours to love, to cherish for seven lifetimes. I am yours.)

(Meera looks at him. They were now together with nothing between them. )

Haider - I love you Meera.

Meera -I love you Haider.

(She then gets hit by a foreign sensation filled with both pleasure and pain. They both were completely one now. They had completely surrendered themselves to each other. The night took a blissful turn and two souls became one. One forever.)

***
(Veer starts moving towards his room. He couldn't even put into words what he felt. Today his sweetheart became his wife. His wife. The very realization of this felt surreal to him. Many people think that getting married meant claiming the other person but for him, marriage was a bond which was built upon giving yourself to the other person.)

(Bani was in the room, her heart was pounding expeditiously. This was the day they both had waited for, for them to be each others forever. It was indeed a beautiful feeling. She felt very nervous and her eyes went on the milk kept on the table. She gulps it down in one go and gives herself a pep talk.)

Bani- It's okay Bani. Tu chill kar. Sab kuch thik se hojayega.

(That's when Veer enters and sees his bride with her veil lifted and the milk glass empty. He tries controlling his laughter and speaks.)

Veer - Kya ho jayega sweetheart?

(Bani gets shocked hearing his voice and puts the veil back on her face while putting the glass on the table. She was very very embarrassed.)

(Veer chuckles softly and move towards her. He slowly lifts her veil. She wasn't looking at him and was rather nervously playing with her chunni. )

Veer- Sweetheart... (He says while holding her hand.)

Bani slowly lifts her eyes and answers - Hmm...?

Veer - You look stunning! (he says dropping kisses on her jawline.)

(Bani just keeps looking at him with anticipation while her gaze lowers, feeling shy.)

Veer - Look at me, Sweetheart... I don't want you to lower your gaze... I want you to look into my eyes and tell me what you want...

(He says gently nibbling on her earlobe while she moans slowly.)

(She looks at him but gets up from the bed feeling extremely shy. As she takes a step forward, Veer holds her dupatta, stopping her from moving further. He moves closer to her and kisses the crook of her neck. Bani grips his hair gently from the side. He drops the dupatta and gets on his knees, kissing her belly.)

Veer - Tell me sweetheart what do you want?

Bani- Vee... Veer...

(He keeps dropping kisses all over her body while a kind of rush spreads all over her. He gets up, capturing her lips in a passionate kiss. They move a little forward and fall on the bed with Bani on top of Veer.)

Veer - Tell me sweetheart... (He whispers sensuously in her ears).

Bani -I want you!

(she says being confident. She didn't know how she felt so forthcoming but Veer was capable to revive all her sides.)

(As she says this, she slowly unbuttons his kurta while he keeps looking at her. He loved this bold side of hers. His good girl turned bad only for him. With that thought, he switches their position, now him on top of her, and undresses her. It was both their first time and he wanted to make it special for her.)

(Physical intimacy was something that was sacred to both of them. He makes her lie on the bed and kisses her forehead.)

Veer -I love you gharwali.

Bani-(smile) I love you too Veer.

Veer - Don't say too. Sounds like you're agreeing with me. (he repeats what she had told him earlier and she smiles.)

Bani-I love you Veer. (She says kissing him softly)

(As their bodies connect, a whimper escapes her mouth and she closes her eyes.)

Veer - Do... Do you want me to stop...? (He says breathing heavily.)

Bani-Ju...just go slow.

(she says while tightening her hold on his back)

(Slowly the pain fades away and the pleasure takes over. They both cherish each other, making each other feel loved and beautiful both internally and externally. The moment was not just a temptation but a moment of love, care, and longingness. They were one now. Forever.)

***

*Next morning*

(Meera wakes up as the sun rays hit her face. She was lying on Haider's chest and suddenly a blush crept on her face, thinking about last night.)

Haider - Staring is creepy Jaan. (He says, his eyes still closed )

Meera- You... you are awake...

Haider - Hmm...

Meera - Abb kya karu... Mera husband mujhe dekhta bhi nahi hein...

Haider - Accha? (he says and hovers over her with a swift movement) Lo dekh liya!
(Meera blushes.)

Haider - Good morning Jaan! (he says kissing her forehead)

Meera - Why are you...calling me that?

Haider - Calling you what? (He says with a smirk)

Meera - That...

Haider - What?

Meera - Jaann!

Haider - (with a smile) Abb meri biwi meri jaan hein, toh usse jaan hi bulaunga na.

Meera (blushingly) - Abb hatiye, mujhe tayyar hone jana hein... Humein ghar jana hein aur muh dikhayi ki rasam bhi hein.

Haider - Toh jaiye na... (He says not loosening his hold.)

Meera - Haider...

Haider - Jaan...

Ruqsar - HAIDER!

Haider - Haan Jaan?

Meera - Ammiii!

Haider - Ammii!?

Meera - Haider, ammi aapko bula rahi hein...

(He turns. Meera takes advantage of the situation gets away from his hold, laughing)

Haider - Meera...

Meera - Abb jaiye, ammii se baat karke aaiye...

(Haider pouts while Meera chuckles. He leaves to meet Ruqsar. In the meantime Meera gets ready for the muh dikhayi ceremony dressed in a maroon lehenga.)

(Haider and Ruqsar and come to their room and look at Meera.)

Ruqsar - Mashallah... Meera baccha tum kitni khubsurat lag rahi ho.

Haider - Bilkul... (Haider says looking at her dreamily)

Meera blushes - Thank you Ammi.

(Ruqsar catches the couple looking at each other and smiles. She was very happy for them and she knew that wherever Firdous and Haider's dad would be, they both would be just as happy.)

***
(Bani wakes up and looks at Veer sleeping like a baby. She smiles and kisses his forehead. She then goes to the washroom to freshen up and get ready. After some time, she comes up dressed in a red lehenga looking gorgeous. She moves the curtains and the sun rays fall on Veer's face. )

Bani- Good morning sunshine!

(He smiles and rubs his eyes, trying to open them. This was the best morning of his life. His angel was by his side. His love, his sweetheart, and now his gharwali. He pulls her towards himself, on top of him.)

Veer - Good morning Gharwali! Tum itni jaldi uth gayi? (he says caressing her cheeks.)

Bani- Bilkul nahi, aap late uthe hein gharwale.

Veer - Abb kya karu... (In a husky tone) Raat bhar kisi ne sone hi nahi diya...

Bani-Veeerrr!!

Veer - Aur nahi toh kya... Upar se energy ke liye pura dhudh bhi toh pee gayi...Matlab kya batau mujhe par kya beeti hein kal...

Bani-You... Youuu... Main na, Main tumse baat hi nahi karungi!

(Veer laughs.)

Veer - Accha.. Accha sorry baba...

Bani- Not accepted.

Veer - Pakka... Not accepted? (he says pulling her closer)

Bani- Tum...(her face turns red)

Veer-Tum sharmate huye aur bhi khubsurat lagti ho sweetheart.

(He says and she melts down, resting her head on his chest.)

Bani-Abb ready hojao... Singhania mansion chalna hein...

(After some time Veer and Bani reach the Singhania mansion. Balwant, Yamini, Tapish, and Misha were already there to welcome them. Yamini comes with the aarti plate and welcomes Vani as husband and wife into their lovely abode. Bani gently pushes the vessel filled with rice and enters the house with Veer by her side, marking a new beginning of their lives. )

***
2 years later

It had been 2 years since Haira and Vani got married to each other. Their life had been filled with love and happiness since then.

Akash and Payal now had a two years old son named Advay. Aman and Lavanya also got married to each other a few months back.

Asad found his soulmate in Zoya. She was a very bubbly girl, who brought love and happiness into his life all over again. He moved on and rekindled all his emotions with her.

Haider was now a renowned singer.

Meera had been winning the best CEO award for all the years. Veer had very well managed the Singhania Enterprises.

Bani continued to work as the CFO of sangeet and headed all the collaboration between the Singhanias and Sangeet.

Apart from this, she also opened a painting institute with her mother's name 'Suvarna'.

*Haira's house*

Meera- Aap meri koi baat maante kyun nahi hein?! (She says in an angry tone)
Haider- Par Meera...

Meera-Par war kuch nahi! Kya kaha tha maine aur ye kya kiya aapne!!

Haider- Meera...

Meera-What Meera! Maine aapko saaf saaf kaha tha dark chocolate ice cream...DARK! (she says air quoting the word) Aur aap le aaye chocolate... Dekh liya bacha...Papa aap aur mumma, dono se bilkul pyaar nahi karte...

(she says placing her hand on her belly, talking to it.)

(Yes, Meera was pregnant. Her delivery date was close due to which her mood swings and cramps were at an all-time high.)

Haider- (Bending on his knees to face her belly) Dekh liya baccha... Aapki mumma aapke papa pe kitna kehar dhaati hein...

(he chuckles)

Meera-Accha... Main kehar dhati hu?

Haider- See... Exactly aese hi. (chuckles) Aap jaldi aa jaiye, hum phir milkar inke gusse se bachne ka plan banayege. (He whispers and kisses her belly.)

Meera-Kya batein chal rahi hein? Baby or papa mein... Koi mumma ko batayega?

Haider- Nahi... Ye hamara secret hein.

(Meera pouts like a child)

Haider- (chuckles looking at her.) Arey baba... Yehi bata rahi tha ki unki mumma gusse main bhi kitni hot lagti hein!

Meera- Haider!!!

Haider- Hayee... Humari shaadi ko 2 saal hogaye par jab bhinaapke ye sharmate chehra ko dekhta hu... Apko muskurate huye dekhta hu, toh lagta hein ki zindagi main koi nadamat (regret) nahi... aakhir kar aapko jo meri qismat bana diya!

(Meera smiles)

Meera- Din par din you are becoming a very smooth talker I see Mr. Haider Ali Khan...Kiska asar hein?

Haider - (hugging her) Woh... Asar... (he slowly moves towards the crook of her neck and whispers) Meri fangirls ka hein.

Meera-Kya!!? Fangirls?? Seriously!?

(Haider laughs)

Haider - Arey baba... Mazak kar raha tha.

Meera-(in a crying tone) Haider!! Abb aap mujhse pyaar nahi karte!!

Haider - Arey jaan... I was just kidding (he says wiping her tears)

(Bani and Veer enter.)

Veer - Kon rula raha hein meri behen ko?

(Meera points towards Haider like a child.)

Veer-Kyun yaar... Mana ki teri itni fangirls tujhe sar par chada kar rakhti hei par iska matlab ye nahi ki tu meri behen ko rulaye.

Meera-(sobbing) Wohi toh! Fangirlss!!

Haider - Meera jaan, tum bhi kaisi baatein kar rahi ho... Aur tu! (looking at Veer) Beta tera time aane de phir batata hu, zyada time waise bhi bacha nahi hein.

(Bani was also 2 months pregnant.)

Bani-Accha abb meri Meera ko koi pareshan nahi karega... Aur Meera tu bhi shaant hoja.

Meera-I hate these pregnancy hormones! Ahh! Main kyun ro rahi huuu!! (still crying)

(Bani chuckles softly)

Bani- Accha baba, main jaanti hu tujhe kaise shaant karna hein... Ye dekh kya laayi hu!

Meera- Kairi aur imli!! Hayee... I love you Bani! Tu hi shaadi kar leti merese,baki yahan kuch logon ko toh meri parvaah hein hi nahi.

(Veer chuckles looking at Haider's face.)

Bani- Accha ek baat batao, tum dono ne baby ka naam socha hein ya nahi?

Haider - Mahira ya Meher kaisa rahega?

Meera- Par ye toh sab ladkiyon ke naam hein...

Haider- Haan, woh isiliye kyunki mujhe aapki tarah ek pyaari si beti chahiye.

Meera-Par mujhe toh beta chahiye, jo andar aur bahar dono se khubsurat ho, jo bilkul aapki tarah ho.

Haider (he smiles) - Accha toh phir naam kya socha hein aapne?

Meera- Thoda sabr kijiye Mr Haider Ali Khan.

Veer- Waise... naam toh humne bhi socha hein!

Haider - Ohho! Bataiye bataiye...

Bani- Agar ladka hua toh Rehaan aur agar ladki huyi toh...

Veer- Vani! Sounds great, isn't it? (He says with a smile and Bani smiles back.)

Meera-Yes it does!!

Haider - Accha guys, I have to leave for my recording... Tum log baat karo.

(Haider goes to his room to change and comes back after some time.)

Haider - Meera, mujhe table par apni perfume ki bottle nahi dikhi... aapko pata hein kaha rakhi hein?

Meera-Woh! woh toh maine phek di. (she says in a casual tone)

Haider-Phek di?!

Meera-Haan... Mujhe uski smell se ulti aa rahi thi... Omgg... Mujhe wapis sochkar bhi ulti aa rahi hein..

(Meera gets and rushes to the washroom.)

(Bani, Veer, and Haider chuckle.)

Bani-Tum jao Haider, hum Meera ka dhyaan rakh lenge.

Veer- Haan haan! Teri fangirls wait kar rahi hongi. (He laughs)

Haider - Beta... Tujhe toh main chodunga nahi.

Bani- Inhe dekhkar kon bolega ki dono papa banne wale hein... Dono khud hi bacchon ki tarah lad rahe hein.

(she says laughing and holding her head. Veer and Haider stop their bantering and laugh.)

(That's when they hear Meera screaming from the washroom.)

Meera- Haider!!!! Jaldi aao!!

(They all rush to the washroom to see what was wrong Meera. Meera was on the floor and her water bag had broken. Haider picks her up and Veer calls the ambulance. They all rush to the hospital.)

*At the hospital*

Meera-Ahhhh...

Haider -Meera jaan... Everything will be alright...

(He says holding her hand and kissing it)

Bani-Haan Meera!

Veer-Main paperwork wagera dekhta hu... Tum log andar jao.

(The doctors take her to the delivery room. Haider was outside, pacing around. Veer returns.)

Veer-Haider... Shaant hoja... Meera aur baby dono thik honge.

Bani-Haan Haider... Relax...

(After some time the doctor comes out. Haider rushes to him.)

Haider- Doctor, Meera aur baby...

Doctor - Mr Haider...

Haider - Ji??

Doctor - Congratulations both baby and mother are safe and now you are father of a son!

Haider - Reallyyy!! (his face brightens up) Thank you so much, doctor!

(He turns)

Haider- Veer, Bani, main papa ban gaya!!

(he says smiling, his eyes filled with tears of joy.)

Veer- Congratulations mere bhai!!

Bani-Congratulations Haider!

Veer-Chalo, bohot ho gaya congratulations... Jakar champ ko dekhte hein.

Doctor - Hum Meeraji ko general ward main shift kar rahe hein... Uske baad aap sab unse mil sakte hein.

(After some time)

(Haider goes to the ward and picks his son in his arms. This moment was very precious for him, holding their child for the first time is the most beautiful moment of any person's life. His eyes were filled with tears. He kisses the baby's forehead. He could never ever forget this moment and would cherish this memory forever.

That's when Meera gains consciousness.)

Meera-Haider... Baby...

Haider - Meera... Ye... Hamara baby...

(his voice filled with happiness. Hei helps Meera sit up on her bed and then places the baby carefully in her arms.)

(Meera smiles and a tear rolls down her eyes too.)

Meera- Mera baccha...hamara baacha Haider..

(She looks over to Haider, her heart filled with overwhelming joy.)

(Veer and Bani enter and look at the happy family.)

Bani-Isse khubsurat pal aur kya hein ho sakta hein kisi ke bhi zindagi main.. Nahi?

Veer- Toh phir tayyar hojayiye Mrs. Singhania kyunki ye din aapki zindagi mein bhi jald aane wala hein.

(He says kissing her cheek and Bani smiles)

Veer - Arey bhaiii! Abb hum bhi apne champ se milna chahte heinn bhai!

(Haider and Meera smile and give the baby to Veer. Later Bani holds the baby.)

Bani-Abb toh bata de naam kya socha hein?

Meera- Ye hoga Haider aur Meera ka Mihir... Mihir Khan.

Veer -Wow! That's a great name!

Haider - Actually, Mihir Khan nahi Mihir Kapoor Khan. Sounds better that way. What say? I mean, I always felt ki why does the child only take up the Father's name, and not both the Mother's and father's.

(Meera smiles.)

Meera - (looking at the baby, smiling) Mihir Kapoor Khan.

***
*5 years later*

(Bani enters the living hall and sees its pathetic condition. Everything was a mess. Cushions tossed around on the ground, tables out of place, vases on the floor. Bani knew who had done all this.)

Bani-VANI! VEER!

Vani /Veer-YES SWEETHEART!

Bani-Vani aur Veer, yahan kya chal raha hein?!

Vani- Sweetheart, dadda mujhe ladkon ko marna sikha rahe hein.

Bani-Ladkon ko marna?? Par kyun?!

Veer-Abb meri bacchi itni sundar hein, toh abhi se isse training deni padega nai.Aur dekho kitna badhiya kar rahi hein meri princess(he says giving a chef's kiss)

Bani- Tum log bhi na! (Bani facepalms herself) Dekho ghar ka kya haal bana diya hein! Aisa lag raha hai maano koi tornado aaya ho yahan!

VANI/VEER- Sweetheart! take a chill pill.

(Both the father and daughter say it in unison.)

Bani- Chill pill! Thik hein. Dono baap beti ko jo karna hein woh karo, main toh abb kuch bol bhi hi nahi.

Vani- Arey dadaa, sweetheart toh gussa ho gayi.

Veer- Hum hein na, chalo sweetheart ko manate hein.

Vani-Mummaaaa!! Cholly na (she says with dote eyes) Accha aabb nahi marungi unko... Zyada zor se.

(she whispers)

(Veer and Bani hear her and break into laughter.)

Bani-Ekdum tum par gayi hein, badmash!

Veer- Abb itni bhi tareef mat karo hamari.

(he says, scratching the back of his neck)

(Bani rolls her eyes and Vani smiles.)

(Bani leaves and goes to her room. She later hears the sound of vessels and utensils crashing on the floor.)

Bani(in mind) - Chal kya raha hein!?

(She goes to the kitchen.)

*In the kitchen*

Vani-Kya dada, main sweetheart ko mana rahi thi na, you always mess up stuff!

Veer- Excuse me, princess I thought tum meri side thi.

Vani-Main toh hamesha sahi ke sath hoti hu. (she says in a dramatic tone)

Veer- Hey bhagwan, tum kabse itni filmy baate karni lagi.

Bani- Aakhir kaar Veer Singhania ki beti hein, toh filmy hona toh banta hein.

(Veer and Vani turn to see her. Bani looks at the father-daughter duo and smiles. They were both covered with baking powder and the batter was spread over the slab.)

Bani-Yahan kya khurafat chal rahi hein??

Vani-Sweetheart, main aapke liye cake bana rahi hu!

Bani-Accha, toh meri baby meri liye cake bana rahi hein... (She kisses her cheek)
Veer- Main bhi. Mein bhi.

Bani- Ohh.

Veer-What ohh?? Vani ko toh itni tareef aur mujhe bas "ohh"?

Vani-Dada that's cause sweetheart loves me more... Maine toh pehele hi kaha tha aap bet har jayenge!

Bani-Bet!? What bet!?

Veer- Bani tum mujhe hara kaise sakti ho? Aisi umeed nahi thi mujhe tumse.

Bani-Koi mujhe batayega konsi bet?

Vani-Maine aur dadaa ne bet lagayi thi ki aap kisse zyada pyaar karti ho.

Bani- Veer seriously... Tum na ekdum bacche ho!

(Vani giggles and turns to the other side mixing the batter, trying to follow what Veer had told her.)

(Veer pulls Bani by her waist)

Veer-Toh tumhein main baccha lagta hu?

Bani-Veer... Pagal ho... Vani dekh legi...

Veer-Toh ismein sharmani wali konsi baat hein... Meri gharwali ko hi toh pakda hein maine. Waise jawab dogi bhi?

Bani- Haan bilkul, mera jawab abb bhi wohi hein!

Veer- You sure? (He says moving further towards her)

Bani-Yes...

Veer - Pakka? Sochlo. (There was hardly any space between them)

Bani-Hmm...

Vani-Dada, sweetheart aap dono kya kar rahe ho?

(Veer and Bani move apart.)

Bani-Woh...

Veer-Woh kuch nahi princess. Sweetheart ki aakhon main kuch chala gaya tha... So...

Vani- Ohhh okay okay.

(Bani also joins them. They all laugh and giggle while bake the cake. By the end of the cooking session, the cake was ready but the trio was fully covered with chocolate and flour.)

Vani-Yayaa!! Hamara cake ready hogayaaa.

(Veer and Bani smile. They later go and clean themselves. Bani was in front of the mirror, trying to dust off the rest. That's when Vani and Veer walk up to her. A pair of hands hug her from the back while a pair of hands hugs her leg.)

Veer/Vani- I love you, Sweetheart!

(Bani looks at the mirror and admires her happy family.)

Bani-I love you too mere jaans!

*In the evening at Haira's mansion*

(Haira and Vani had planned lunch together.)

Veer-Ohho mere rockstar! (He hugs Haider)

(Haider hugs him back.)

(Bani and Meera also hug each other.)

Meera-Omprakashji gaye hein unhe lane, jald hi aate honge dono shaitaan.

Bani-Pooch hi mat Meera ... Inn dono baap beti ne naak mein dum karke rakha hein.

Veer- Hayee... Itni shikayatein...

(That's when the kids run in to greet them.)

Mihir - Ohh heyyy captain cool!! Hii Bani aunty!! (He says to Veer and Bani)

Veer-Ohho mere champ!!

Vani-Hii Rockstar! Hii beautiful!!

(she says to Haider and Meera)

Haider - Hello meri jaan.

(Vani and Mihir look at each other and turn their heads in opposite directions.)

Meera - Kya hua tum dono ko? Aaj aese muh pher kar kyun khade ho?

Mihir- Kyunki Vani meri ek baat nahi manti! Isiliye main usse katti hu.

Vani- Mihir ne kaam hi aesa kiya hein beautiful, abb mai kya batau aapko.

Meera-Haye meri jaan, batao kya kiya isne?

Vani-Dekho na beautiful, Vicky mera dost hein...Main aaj class main thodi der uske saath kya baith gayi... Ye tabse muh phula kar baitha hein aur pata nahi usko bhi kya bol diya isne. Vicky mere aate hi dar ke kahi chala jata hein.

Veer - ohho champ! Bilkul sahi ja rahe ho!

Bani-Veer!!

Haider - Mihir beta, tumne sach main aesa kiya?

(Mihir nods his head)

Meera -Tumne bola kya usse?

Mihir -Yehi ki agar woh Vani se baat karega toh usse...

Vani- Mihir!!!

(Everybody chuckles.)

Haider - Jokes apart... Mihir beta... Meri ek baat hamesha yaad rakhna. Koi bhi rishta agar hum cheen kar ya dusro se haasil karke banaye ya rakhe, toh woh kabhi permanently nahi rehta. Aur jo permanent hota hein usmein koi bhi problem ya pareshani kyun na aa jaye, woh kabhi toota nahi. Samjhe?

Mihir - Thoda... Thodaa...

Meera-Accha, toh jao abb Vani ko sorry bolo.

Mihir - Okay mumma.

(Mihir goes to Vani)

Mihir - Vani... Chollyy...

(He then kisses her cheek and runs away.)

Vani-(holding her cheek) Mihir!! (She runs behind him.)

(Both the couples look at their kids and exchange smiles. They were one big happy family now. )

***

Tanhaiyan beshak bina dastak diye hamari zindagi main jagah bana hi leti hein lekin khushiyon ki jagah hume khud banani padti hein.

Hum sab ke pass hamari khushiyon ki chaabi hein bas der hei humme usse pehechane ki.

Dard kitna bhi kyun na ho, par har dard ki dawa hoti hein. Isiliye tanhaiyon ko bhula kar khushiyon ka haath thamiye. Aur yaad rakhiye ki raasta jitna kaaton se bhara ho, manzil utni hi khubsurat lagti hein.

~THE END~
