A week passes by, the day of Ansh and Hrishika's marriage arrives. Ansh was happy, nervous and guilty too as his parents wouldn't be able to enjoy his special day. They may accompany him to court but obviously they will hardly recognise him and bless him.

Ansh let out a sigh as he turned off the shower. He moves to his room and gets ready in a formal two piece after which he moves to his mother's room, Anamika was still trying to complete her painting.

Ansh coughs to grab her attention. Anamika turns to him and smiles. 'It's early morning and she has seen all the pictures and so she recognises him - - he's her son, Ansh.

''Aa na!! Dekh, kaisi hai ye!?" She questions him while showing the painting.

Ansh stood by her,''bahut aachi hai!!'' He says complimenting her, a wide smile covers Anamika's face.

''Pata hai, jab teri shadi hogi na main iss painting se bhi jyada khubsurat decorations karwaungi. Puri Mumbai dekhti reh jaayegi aisa intezaam karungi.'' She states, her eyes have hope and dreams regarding him and his future. Ansh shook his head, he wished that day would come soon in his life. He's waiting to see her loving him, running around for his marriage preparation, arguing with the wedding planner, deciding the menu, selecting a dress for him and all. He's waiting for that day!

Anamika nudges him, finding him lost.
''Tu itni jaldi kahan jaa raha hai? Kuch hai kya?" She asks him, finding him all ready.

Ansh nodded,''haan, bahut jaruri kaam hai ek wahi karne jana hai!" He informs her.

''Chalo, aap bhi ready ho jao aapko bhi chalna hai mere saath.'' Ansh told her, he took a brush from her hand and led her to the washroom.

''Par main kya karungi tumhare kaam mei? Mujhe toh court jana hai!!" She told him, Ansh was left a little surprised as there is no single clue which can remind her about her profession. He stares at her for a moment, new hope arising in his heart.

''Aaj court band hai!! Aur mujhe aapki jarurat hai wahan, jao aap ready hoke aao main papa ko dekhta hoon!" He says Anamika agrees and moves into the washroom.

Ansh rushes to his father's room, as always he's getting ready in his formals.

Vineet feels his presence and turns to him.

''Kidhar hai tumhari mumma?? Dekho, mere shirt mei button hi nahi hai. Wo jaane kya karti firti hai, meine bola tha usko lagane ko.'' Vineet scoffs.

Ansh marched to him.

''Wo niche hai, main laga deta hoon aapka button.'' Ansh says and takes out the needle and thread.

He begins with the process while Vineet gazes at him.

''Tumne ye kab seekh liya?? Kahin shadi ki taiyaari toh nahi kar rahe?? Tumhari mumma ko pata chala na tum apni biwi ke liye itna kuch seekh rahe ho aur uske hote khudke haath se khate bhi nahi, toh jwalamukhi si phat jaayegi.'' Vineet jokes, Ansh smiles at his statement.

Well, the fact is true. His mother used to pamper him like a toddler, she would spoon feed him, make his hair. Being an only child, Anamika pampers him way too much. It was a long time back, but now everything has changed. She doesn't even sit beside him or talk to him.

''Arey kahan kho gaya, button laga!" Vineet nudges him, Ansh nods and finishes his task after which he leaves the room asking him to be ready as they'll be going for important work.

....

The family of three is all set to go, Ansh was excited while his parents are all.set to kill each other.

Vineet accuses Anamika of ogling him, while Anamika accuses him that he's trying to touch her inappropriately.

''Dekha dekha!! Jaane iss buddhi ko aisa kyun lagta hai main isko touch karne ke liye mara jaa raha hoon, huhh!! Meri khudki biwi hai main usko na touch karu jo isko karu, kuch bhi bakwas karti hai ye. Sambhal isko, mere pe ilzaam na lagate!" Vineet tells Ansh, who nods.

''Jhooth!! Bilkul jhooth bol raha hai ye. Main aa rahi thi upar se toh ye ghoor hi raha tha mujhe aur abhi koshish kar raha tha kaise touch kare. Tharki buddha!!" she commented, rolling her eyes.

Vineet slapped her arm,''khabardaar jo kuch bola mujhe. Khud hawashi aankho se dekh rahi thi mujhe aur aab mujh pe hi ilzaam laga rahi ho!!" He shouts.

Anamika tries to slap him but Ansh pulls her away.

''Arey arey!! Aap dono kyun ladd rahe ho.  Dekho aap dono ko pata hai na aap samne wale ke liye bura nahi soch rahe toh ladne ka kya faida. Abhi humko ek party main jana hai aur aap dono ladd rahe ho. Chaliye, aap dono ko award milne wala hai aur agar aise ladoge toh  wo denge bbi nahi.'' Ansh makes up a story to calm them.

His parents glare at each other but remain silent. They want the award after all.

Ansh takes them to his car. They settle down in the car and the car ignites to reach their destination - - Court.

....

Hrishika and her parents were watching for Ansh and his family in the court.

''Kahan reh gaye ye log. Andar se do baar awaz aa chuki hai aur late hua toh next hafte hi kuch hoga.'' Varun says looking at his wife and daughter.

Hrishika assures her father about Ansh arrivals. Meanwhile Ansh enters the scene with his parents holding  his parents arms, they seem to be irritated.

Ansh apologies for being late. Vineet freed himself from his grip.

''Choro yaar, tabse pakad rakha hai.'' He scoffs.

''Hey Vineet!" Varun greets him.

Vineet stands rooted, looking here and there. Ansh nudges him and asks to reciprocate.

''Main kyun hii, hello karu usse?? Main janta bhi nahi iss buddhe ko!" He exclaims and tries to go, Ansh pulls him.

''Tumse toh aacha hi dikhta hai!" Anamika taunts Vineet and greets Varun with a light smile.

''Aankh hi kharab ho kissi ki toh main kya karu. Khudki sakal bhootni jaisi hai aur dusro pe comment karti hai, huhhh! Tum isko laaye hi kyun saath?? Iss aashishth ko kaun award dega aur kyun?? Harkat dekhi hai iski, kaise kissi se chipakne lagti hai. Kuch der pehle mujhe ched rahi thi aur aab isko!! Iske pati ko bolo isko sambhal.'' Vineet told Ansh receiving a slap.

Ansh separates them while Hrishika and her family are silent spectators. Varun gazes at his wife who smiles lightly assuring him that everything will be fine.

Meanwhile they hear their name. Ansh and Hrishika moved in with their parents; few of their friends were also present there.

Ansh and Hrishika sign the register, Hrishika's parents and few friends sign as the witness. After signing the papers, they exchange garland. Other claps, AnVin too claps repeating after other.

Ansh smiles at Hrishika, promising her to be by her side. Hrishika nodded and promised the same. They share a light embrace.

''Hum shadi ke liye aaye the!?" Vineet questions.

''Tab toh dawat bhi hogi!!" Anamika exclaims, clapping her hands.

Hrishika hugs her,''jarur!! Dawat toh karenge hi hum, khushi ki toh baat hai!" She states, pecking her cheek. Anamika was stunned while Vineet rushed to Ansh hiding behind him.

''Tumhari biwi dusro ko kis kar rahi hai. Isko mere ghar pe nahi rakhna, ye dono aurtein sahi naa laag rahi mujhe. Dekho, meri biwi inko bardasth na karegi apne ghar mei kissi keemat pe!!" He exclaims making a face, causing others to laugh.

Ansh assures him that nothing will happen and he need not to worry.
His assurance relieved Vineet a little.

...

As Days pass, both the family enjoy their happy moments. Anamika and Vineet were happy with the special treatment they got from Ansh and Hrishika and in return Vineet got Ice cream for them and Anamika spoon fed them. Ansh couldn't be more happy, his smile never left his face the whole day.

It's night, Ansh takes Hrishika to his room and helps her arrange her belongings.

Hrishika was gazing at Ansh, who's busy arranging her clothes in the cupboard.

''Ansh!!" She called him.

He turns to her only to find her staring at him. She indicates him to sit beside her. Ansh nods and follows her command.

Hrishika holds his hand and squeezes them lightly.

''Tum apni khushi mujh se share kar sakte ho Ansh!! Main jaanti hoon aaj tumhare pass kehne ko bahut kuch hai. Shayad jitna main soch rahi hoon uss se bhi jyada hai tumhare pass kehne ko!" Hrishika says lightly.

A smile forms on his lips, the girl easily understands his unsaid words. Yes, he has many things to say today. After three years, his mother fed him by hand, and his father got him something. He's extremely happy, emotional too.

''Hai toh bahut kuch kehne ko par samajh nahi aa raha kaise kahu!! Sabd kam padd jaayenge aaj toh!" He expresses.

She snuggles to him and places her head on his shoulder.

''Koshish karo, main samajh jayungi tumhari baat ko!" She says.

Ansh placed his hand on her shoulder, side hugging her.

''Teen saal se sab kuch bada ke baitha hoon main. Tum sunte sunte thak jaaogi par meri baat khatam nahi hogi!" He told her, caressing her arm lightly.

''Tum meri fikra maat karo. Jaise tum teen saal se chup baithe ho waise hi main teen saal se tumse baat karne ka intezar kar rahi hoon. Shayad tumne realise nahi kiya, par inn teen saalon mei tum puri tarah badal chuke ho har ek ruk se!" Hrishika's words cause him to say. She said the truth, he's changed because that's what the time demanded from him. He couldn't be that naughty, carefree guy anymore. He has the responsibility of his parents.

Hrishika taps his cheek, finding him lost.

''Don't worry, main tumhe judge nahi kar rahi. Infact ye change se mujhe toh faida hi hua!" She exclaims.

''Wo kaise!?" Ansh questions, a little surprise.

''Wo aise ki aab jab hamara baby hoga toh unke Daddy unko bahut aache se sambhal paayenge na toh main free ho jayungi.'' She states and laughs, causing him to laugh.

She stares at each other for a moment and embraces, not just their bold but soul. All they need is to share a good relationship with their family. And they'll do it together with love!!

...

Life is like ludo dice, you never know what's in store for you in the near future. All you can do is to hope - - hope for a good,loving and healthy life and relationship.

It's not always parents who take care of their child. Sometimes, childrens turn parents for their parents and take care of them. Because one can never repay what their parents do for them. They can love the parent, help them, care for them but the parents always hold a higher place while the child by doing the same for their parents the child sometimes share the same position.

This is life, anything can happen!!

...

The End..
