Finally om took the charge to remove the silence of hall.

Om "We've a good news to tell you all." he smiling side hugged gauri

All waited for them or him to speak up but they both kept on smiling and blushing.

Tej "Would you speak up?" he said out of frustration.

Shivaay "Yes, om. What's that? We're so curious... And you both are behaving so like young couple..." he smiled and om glared him.

Om "Okay... It's that... Umm... Actually..." he kept on murmuring Irritating everyone more...

Anika "Enough om... Can't you say it straight, that gauri is pregnant! You're going to be a father soon. Huh!!!!" she announced out of frustration...

All were looking at anika with a perfect O shape. Forgetting to blink.

For everyone it was no less than any shock as according to them gauri couldn't conceive anymore after the accident in which she lost her first baby.

All came out of shock as they heard "OMM" looking at the direction of voice, they found pinky standing near the pillar.

Pinky "OMM! You're pregnant? You both lied? And here everyone was blaming me because... Because she could never become mother again." she glared rikara angrily  "See shivaay, they have trapped me. I was nowhere at fault. It's all their plan." she spoke.

Everyone looked at shivaay who was lost. "Shivaay"  anika calles out and he swallowed hard.

Shivaay "What the hell you're doing here?" he asked angrily. Looking into his eyes anyone could guess how much angry he is at that time.

Pinky "That doesn't matter. The thing which matters is, that they trapped me." she rebuked

Shivaay "Enough, Enough miss kumar. Their lie no where proves that you're trapped. Their lie didn't changed the fact that, because of you Gauri and om lost their child. You're a murderer, not any victim." he said teary eyed and turned to other side... "Get Lost from here before i kick you out Of everyone's life." he said tightening his fist.

No one can be more idiot then pinky, knowing that she's culprit and everyone knows it. She still tries to play her card, breaking the rules. Her doings showed as she's trying to test shivaay's patience.

Seeing that her game isn't working. She immediately rushed back to her room and locked it.
Silence prevailed for few minutes as every one looked at shivaay to react or say something more. After few more minutes,  when silence was same . Shivaay finally breathes in and out and smiled.

Shivaay " what happened?  They have announced such a good news and you all are standing ideally?  C'mon guys get something sweet to eat.  Anika you go get some moti choor ke laddu...  Fasttt" he smiled and ordered as soon as anika left to get the sweets . Shivaay moved to om and hugged him tightly...

Shivaay "Om you don't know how much happy I'm with this news. I was feeling guilty because of that news...  That you both can never become parents and it was because of me that accident happened with gauri.  But now  I'm happy and little guilty free...  That you both are going to be parents soon. Congratulations bro. " he tightened the hug and om reciprocated with double happiness...  Gauri was teary eyed seeing them. Their moment was after very long.

Gauri "Won't you congratulate me bade bhaiya?" She asked in happy tone while crying...

Shivaay and om parted and Shivaay looked at  gauri

Shivaay "Why not? it's you because of whom I'm going to become... Ummm..." he paused to think when om smiling tapped his shoulder

Om "He'll call you, bade papa." he smiled and shivaay too smiled

Shivaay "Yeah. I'll be his bade papa...wait..? Him? It's a boy?" he asked excitedly

Gauri "Yes... It's a boy bade bhaiya." she replied while new tears started brimming.
Shivaay embraced both (omkara and gauri)  in a hug.

Shivaay "What you want in gift?" he asked caressing gauri's face.

Gauri "Your blessings, just. " she replied while smiling with tears...

In mean time anika arrived with the sweets and shivaay fed it to om and ri. 

All were so overwhelmed

All were Overwhelmed with the news and were out of words. Omri waited for others to say something or react but they didn't. Which hurt them.

Om "Mom dad, aren't you guys happy? " he asked in sad voice. looking at him  anyone could say he'll break down in  minute or two.

Shivaay patted his shoulder and smiled

Shivaay "Om they're happy.  Wait a min... " he shooked jhanvi and  tej and they both jerked.

Tej "A-are y-you serious? " he stuttering asked and om smiled "Yes dad"

Tej hugged om and jhanvi hugged gauri... Everyone looked at the happy family.

Tej "I'm sorry my child. I have nothing with me to gift you for giving me such a good news. You don't know how much this news means to me... I was really disheartened with the previous news. I know how much om likes, no. In fact loves childrens. I've heard him talking with shivru about his child when you were pregnant. How much excited he was... Thank you so much" he kissed gauri's forehead followed by om's.

Om " I never thought you'll be this much happy dad." he said teary eyed

Tej "I'm happiest, as you're calling me dad beta" he hugged him again while all smiled with tears..

Jhanvi "Okay okay, enough. Stop this emotional drama now. I don't want to cry on such a happy and Lucky day." she smiled through tears And all chuckled.

Dadi "Oye khoteyo!!! Why you didn't tell me????" she asked twisting gauri' and om's ear.

Rudra who was standing at corner from so long and that to silently, finally jumped in like a monkey and shouted "Surpriseeee dadiiii"  scaring his dadi like anything..

"Idiot" somu too entered the scene and twisted his ear.

That was the biggest mistake of both. Everyone looked at them and smiled. The smile was scary for them but only if they would've noticed...

Mansi was the first one to speak.
She cleared her throat and moved forward.

Mansi "Soumaya beta don't you think it's high time?" she asked seriously, which scared not only soumaya but also rudra. He stood straight and still.

Omri and shivika were giggling silently...

Soumaya "W-what happened maa???" she asked being scared.

In this one year soumaya got two more mothers. jhanvi and mansi. Both are like her mothers, not only hers but also anika and gauri's. Mansi herself asked them to call her maa as she likes it, because she doesn't have daughters. But now, she have 4.

Mansi "You're not a kid to not understand it soumaya" she replied more seriously, scaring the shit out of her.

Soumaya immediately started remembering about the things she did today from morning till this time...

Soumaya "I woke up, jogged, had breakfast, gave breakfast, submitted assignments, had fun with everyone, talked with maa, helped servents in kitchen, got ready for party, enioyed the conference, umm had fun at cake cutting... Now... Standing like a criminal in front Of maa. What wrong i did????" she thought and looked at mansi swallowing hard. "Maa what did i do?" she asked innocently pouting

All were at the edge of bursting into fits of laughter but somehow controlled.

Vikram "We also want a baby from you beta" he said caressing both of their faces...

Soumaya and rudra smiled and took a sigh of relief.

Rudra "Bas? Baby, no worries I'll give you" he said out of relief. Same with soumaya she too was in over relief.

Soumaya "Yes. Baby's are cutest, I'll surely give you one, it's not a big deal." she smiled 

Shivaay "soumaya and rudra. Your baby. Did you get it or not?" he said little loud and both of them widened their eyes in shock.

Rumaya "Baby..." and flushes.

All finally burst into fits of laughter. After the good laugh of 2 minutes everyone composed their self's seeing the reddened faces of rudy and somu.

Not able to handle it they both rushed toward the pool side. Leaving everyone...

Shakti "Now i think we'll soon hear good news." he chuckles and everyone agreed.

Shivaay "Now you guys rest, we've a party to attend."

Dadi "Their will be noises. Tonight I'll stay with my child vikram"

Tej "We're also human maa. We'll go with you."

Vikram "Nice idea. Let's go to our house all the elders..." he said excitedly.

Anika "But..." she paused as jhanvi smiled

Jhanvi "No problem anika beta, I'll take care of her medicine." she hugged her
Soon elders left to rana mansion while youngster's moved toward the pool side where their party was taking place.

Everything there wasn't normal. It was full to party set up as if it's some bachelor's party. As it was youngster's party, little alcohol was there on bar side. Big shining stars hanging down the roof and big comforting cushions placed near the pool side, around a sitting table.

All smiling looked at eachother and sat down around the table.

Soumaya "Sooo... Let's party?" she asked cheerfully and all joined with same excitement.

Starting the party without rudy's special PUNCH! isn't good at all. How can this party called Awesome without his punch.

Rudra "Before we start, ops. Not start, how can we even start party without Special punch made by rudy? The Great rudra singh oberoi?" he dramatically said making all roll their eyes except anika.

It was just anika who had a great and golden memory related to the POOL SIDE PARTY AND RUDY'S SPECIAL PUNCH...

Anika  was smiling looking at the little cooler of punch placed just few inches away from their seats. Shivaay who noticed it smiled seeing her but why she's smiling? Made him curious.

Shivaay "Anika what's the matter han? Why you're smiling so much hm?" he asked smiling with arched eyebrows.

Anika "Nothing will tell you later." she shrugged her shoulders with a cute smile and he nodded.

Soumaya "We'll start party after our few friends joins us." she smiled looking at rudra who smiled back

There was something special going to happen in this party. Everyone was aware of it, but what? It wasn't known by anyone else, exceptional ladies.

Soon it got clear as Riddhima, Bhavya entered the pool side.

Seeing riddhima om was shocked and angry but somehow he controlled himself and sticked to his wife. Side hugging gauri, he stayed there.

Bhavya's arrival was well known by rudra as it was his idea, only. He wanted to show her few things.

Things got more tensed when tia entered a long with romi. It wasn't expected by anyone else. It wasn't just youngster's party but also, Night of new revelations.

All quietly got seated and the punch was served with formal hi and hello.

Shivaay was the confused soul. He had no idea about who they all are and why they're here?
He was able to recognise 2 faces but wasn't sure about them, also.

Anika "How's your life going bhavya?" she asked making the atmosphere normal again

Bhavya "Bhabhi it's going good..." she replied with a smile and averted her gaze toward rudra.

Rudra who was already waiting for this chance, immediately Side hugged soumaya and started playing with her hand while whispering something in her ear, lovingly.

This definitely burned bhavya and it was clear in her eyes.

All were busy gazing eachother while the silence remained...

Shivaay was getting irritated with that atmosphere, so soon he sighing spoke up.

Shivaay "Who're they all? I mean... Will you guys introduce me to them???" he asked out of frustration.

Mallika "Shivaay... She's tia your Ex-fiancee." she said giving him a shock

Well he do remember that he had some relationship with some girl but due to less meets with her, he literally forgot her. He wasn't shocked as she's his ex fiance but he was shocked as in presence of his Wife 'Anika' they called her Ex fiance 'Tia' in party? Why?

Shivaay "Umm... Anika" he turned to her to explain thinking she might be hurt or angry  but was astonished seeing her smiling...

Anika looked at shivaay "Yeah?"

Shivaay "Don't you've any problem with tia? I mean aren't you... Ummm" he paused whispering and anika giggles

Anika "Shivaay... Why would i be even jealous? You know, she's married and also have a baby. Well... And other thing is, she's our friend." she locked their arms and leaned on to his shoulder resting her head on his forearm. "Moreover, It's because of her only, we're here togather."

Shivaay "I'm so much confused yaar, you gotta give me details of our past life..." he sadly pouted.

Anika "Tonight, for sure." she smiled cutely

They both were busy talking not knowing that no one is talking but just staring them...

Anika averts her gaze and realizes that what's actually happenin!

Anika "Umm... Why you're not talking guys?" she asked gulping

Rudra "Bhabhii we were watching romantic movie so thought not to disturb eachother..." he said with a naughty smirk

Shivaay "Rudra... Give me some more punch!!!" he hiccuping forwarded his glass angrily and rudy giggling held it...

Riddhima looked at soumaya with a smile and gulped down the punch "Why this party?" she asked

Gauri "A..Actually" she was interrupted by om

Om "Don't speak gauri, stay calm and rest, I'll answer na" he lovingly caressed her cheeks and looked at riddhima "It's just a get-to-gather, you see all friends reunited. Everyone was missing this so just to meet up with eachother, nothing else." he kept on playing with Gauri's hand all the while... Riddhima turned her face and smiled looking at rest.

Anika "It's boring questioning. Let's play something yaar" by now she was little intoxicated by the alcohol  added in rudy's special punch...

This time all knew that alcohol will be there in punch but the atmosphere made them forget it.

Shivaay "Okayyyy, let's change it little. You all give me your introduction fast, then we're good to go and will play a game offff... Soumaya's choice."

Priyanka "Yes bhaiya, that's a great idea. Sooo bhaiya she's bhavya, rudy bhaiya's best friend. She's Tia you know, she's romi rudy bhaiya's friend. She's riddhima om bhaiya's ex... Now the introduction is over, let's party." she said raising up her glass and then gulping  it down.

Shivaay wanted to ask few questions but preferred to stay quite for now. And as decided soumaya was ready to tell what they should play.

She quietly stood up and went toward bar side. grabbing an empty bottle of whisky, she walked back to all.

Somu "Get settled. The way you want to,  game is truth and dare. " she announced and sat down.  All Re arranged their seats and started cheering for somu to spin the bottle.

Soon  the bottle was spinned and all were keenly looking at the bottle...

"Shit! " anika said as the bottle stopped on her and omkara.

Om "Yes. now...  Truth or dare? " he asked and she smiled "Dare" "Well...  Then bhabhi propose shivaay in front of us, all.  And thennnn a kiss... Okayyy??? " he said and immediately nodded in a big Noooo.

All started cheering for her and she finally smiled and stood up.

They both stood little far from them and anika slowly went on her knee's. Shivaay was already blushing little by now.

Anika Cleard her throat and looked at shivaay directly in his eyes,  he Reciprocated.

Anika "Shivaayyy... " she gasped and held his hand "When i first met you, i never ever thought i would fall in love with you,  the kanji eyed bagadh billa.  At that time we were like long lost, enemies.  I never hated anyone that much,  the much i hated you at that time.  But my fate was linked with you... I tried to stay away from  you,  not to come close to you.  But,  my all ways, roads ended up to you...  The much i tried to go away the more i was near you.  It was all written in my fate...  I realised that i can't live without you.  I started loving your everything.  Every one used to say we fight a lot but that fight was always best thing for me.  As...  It was with you.  Serious fights,  exceptional.  At home i used to miss you and your tadi.  I fell for you long back but it took time ,much time to realise it. Well...  That's all long shivaay... " she had tears in  her eyes.  "I'll say it later. But the thing is.  I love you shivaay.  I love you.  You're not just great wall for your family but for me also.  Your presence makes me feel secure and safe.  With you i can fight with whole world.  You're the only person after sahil whom i love more than anything.  Having you by side completes me, shivaay.  You complete me.  Would you like to hold my hand and grow old with me?  I-i promise I'll love you till my last breath, no matter what.  I'll love you still, if you've no hair on your head.  If you've no teeths left and looks horrible to others.  If you've wrinkles all over your face, still I'll love you the same way. Because for me you matters, nothing else.  Would you???? " she asked while smiling with tears.

Shivaay "Of course.  I'd love to spent my whole life with you anika" he too went on his knees and hugged her tightly.

"Kisss.... Kisss... " all started hooting wiping  their tears.

Withdrawing herself anika looked at shivaay and shyly held his face in her soft hands.  Shivaay closed his eyes expecting a lip kiss 😂 and anika gave a fast kiss/peck on his cheek and immediately ran back to her place,  all red.

All laughed at shivaay and he opened his eyes realising the scene and returned to his seat all embarrassed.

Bottle was spinned again...
