Ragini was standing in the middle of the large bedroom which used to be only Laksh's but now it was her's also. She never came to Laksh's room before so she was looking around the room with curiosity. It was beautiful.

She smiles as she moves towards the balcony of the room and looks at the view from there. Her heart does a flip as she feels two cold hands sliding on her waist from the back.

"You liked your new room?" he asks near her ear.

"It's very beautiful." she replies as she rests her head on his chest.

Laksh turns her and smiles as he cups her face in between his hands.

"I still can't believe that finally we're together and married as well." he says running his thumbs over her cheeks.

"Same! It seems like a beautiful dream. Till yesterday I was so devastated and today I'm so happy." she says.

"Don't worry. Hereafter my babu will be happy always." he says pecking on her forehead.

Ragini smiles at that. Laksh holds her hands and pulls her to himself. She bumps into his hard chest. He encircles his arms around her.

"Even though we did everything before our marriage you stopped me yesterday. But today we even got the license. What will you do now?" he asks smirking.

"Uhm... Maybe, I'll let you do what you want." she says winking at him.

Laksh looks on excitedly while Ragini giggles.

"And with this Mrs Ragini Laksh Maheshwari, you lost your sleep of one two three four five six... Even I don't know how many days." he says as he picks her up in his arms.

Ragini looks at him with wide eyes while Laksh just winks at her in return as he walks inside the room.

"You're not serious. Are you?" asks Ragini a little loudly.

"I'm very much serious wifey." he says with a naughty smile.

Ragini opens her mouth to say something but stops when they hears a cute voice.

"Mumma dadda... Shhh..."

Both of them gets shocked as they looks around the room.

"Bachcha, where are you?" asks Laksh, looking around for his daughter.

Both Raglak widens their eyes as they sees Ishanvi crawling out from behind the couch in the room.

"Dadda, why ale you picking up mumma like a baby?" asks Ishanvi giggling.

Both Raglak's face turns red at that and Laksh immediately puts Ragini down. He moves towards Ishanvi and picks her up.

"Mumma was saying that I always pick up Aanu and Ishu not her. So I picked her up like my babies." he says chuckling while Ragini looks looking at him like 'seriously'.

"Haha... Mumma ish oso a baby." says Ishanvi giggling in her father's arms.

"Ishu, why were you hiding there? You were sleeping in the room, right?" asks Ragini as Laksh makes Ishanvi sit on the bed.

"Me and Aanu ale playing hide and sheek." replies Ishanvi excitedly.

"At this time. Baby, it's time to sleep." says Laksh.

"But we wele not getting sheep without mumma and dadda." she replies with a pout.

"Aww mera bachcha." says Laksh as he pinches on her small nose.

"Okay, Aanu and Ishu will sleep with mumma and dadda." he says patting her cheeks.

Ishanvi starts clapping at that. Laksh gets up.

"I'll bring Aanu also." he says.

Ragini nods and he leaves from there. He goes to girl's room but couldn't find her there. He was looking in the house for her when he finds her sleeping on the couch in one of the guest rooms. He shakes his head as he walks towards her. He picks her up and then walks back to his room. He finds Ragini laying besides Ishanvi, patting her cheek. He makes Aanya lay down besides her. He kisses both of theirs heads. He then looks up at Ragini who was looking at him already. She was smiling at him. Laksh lays down on the other side. The girls were in between the two. Ragini takes the comforter over four of them.

"I have talked in the best kindergarten of Kolkata for their admission. They can start from next week." whispers Laksh.

"Hmm..."

"And I'll announce about our wedding the day after tomorrow. Also about our daughters. I don't care what people will say or think and you shouldn't too." he adds.

Ragini nods smiling at her husband. And they falls asleep while talking about this or that.

***

Ragini opens her eyes and turns her eyes to look at her left. She smiles looking at her daughters who were sleeping peacefully, hugging each other and Laksh whose hand was around three of them. She shakes his hand slightly. Laksh jerks and opens his eyes. He looks at her.

"Good morning Mr Maheshwari." she says as she kisses his palm.

Laksh smiles as he gets up and sits on the bed.

"Good morning." he says rubbing his eyes.

Ragini also gets up from the bed and moves towards him. Laksh gets up and pecks on her lips. He then looks at the twins.

"They slept late yesterday. They're not going to wake up for a few more hours." she tells him.

Laksh nods as he makes his way to the washroom.

***

After announcing about the wedding and the twins, Laksh's name was all over the country but he didn't give a damn to the controversies. And he was successfully keeping his wife and daughters out of the eyes of everyone. He didn't let anything affect their normal life.

Two months passed and everything was coming back to normal. People stopped talking about the matter with time.

***

Two months later

Ragini was in the kitchen with a middle aged staff member while the girls were at the school.

"Ragini, where are my clothes yaar?"

She hears Laksh's shout from their room. She shakes her head in disbelief as she washes her hands and starts walking to the room. She gets inside and finds her husband sitting on the bed with only a towel draped around his waist. He was busy with his phone. She walks towards him and peeps into his phone. She rolls her eyes seeing him playing games on the phone.

"Seriously Laksh! You're playing games but can't take your clothes on your own! I was busy, still you called me." she says as she walks towards the cupboard and takes out clothes for him.

Laksh keeps the phone aside and holds her hand as she comes towards him with the clothes. He pulls her to his lap and keeps the clothes aside.

"See, I can do all my works myself but the thing is that I love it when you do it. Daily you get up before me and I can't even see your face so I just keep thinking of excuses for calling you in the room because you like to roam around the house, doing this and that, even though there's no need for you to do anything. You don't give time to your poor husband. Mele babu ko mela bilkul bhi khayal nahi hai." he complains with a pout.

Ragini smiles as she encircles her arms around his neck.

"Aww... Sorry!" she says kissing the corner of his lips.

"And as I'm on a day off from the office today so I want you to spend all your time with me. Got it Mrs Maheshwari?" he asks as he starts nuzzling her neck.

"Yes boss!" she says chuckling.

"Even the devils aren't here to disturb us." he says winking at her.

Ragini laughs at that. She's caught off guard as he takes a turn and makes her lay on the bed. He comes over her and seals her lips with his.

***

Ragini enters inside the room of her daughters and finds them laying on the bed on their stomachs. Laksh was lying in between them. Their legs were in the air and they were holding their faces in between their hands. Two books were open in front of the girls while a file was open in front of Laksh. She was admiring the three of them and was going aww at them. She takes out her phone and clicks a picture of the three.

"Come on get up. It's time for the dinner." she says as she walks towards the bed and takes the books and the file.

She keeps them aside and looks at the three again.

"Dadda... We want..." starts Aanya.

Laksh sits and looks at her.

"Yes, what does my baby want?" he asks as he makes the girl sit properly.

"We want a bother..." they says together.

"Bother?" asks Raglak confused.

"Alle little baby bother." says Ishanvi cutely.

"You mean brother?" asks Laksh.

"Yesh..." says the girls happily.

Raglak looks at each other. Laksh smirks while Ragini rolls her eyes.

"From where this thought came in your mind?" asks Ragini.

"Piya became big shishtel. She had a baby bother. Even we want a bother." says Aanya pouting.

"Okay, my babies will get what they want." says Laksh chuckling while Ragini shakes her head at her husband.

"Let's have dinner now." says Ragini as she takes them out of the room.

***

"Laksh! Sleep and let me sleep. It's so late." says Ragini to her husband who was busy kissing her nape.

"But I'm thinking to give a little brother to my princesses. How will I do it alone? You have to cooperate na." he says as he bites on her neck.

"Huh... How can you be so sure that it'll be a boy?" she asks as a matter of fact.

"Ah! I don't mind adding one more beautiful lady in my family." he says as he looks up at her.

Ragini shakes her head as she pushes him away.

"Sleep!" she says as she rolls over to the other side of the bed.

"Ragini!!!" Laksh groans.

"Laksh! Two are enough na yaar. Why third?" asks Ragini as she looks at him with a pout.

"Okay! Come here!" he says as he extends his arms towards her.

Ragini moves back into his arms. Laksh kisses her hair.

"Achcha, now tell me the real thing." he asks caressing her face.

Ragini looks at him surprised.

"What thing?" she asks.

"Don't try to act. I know there's something else which is bothering you. Now tell me." he says.

"I don't have any problem with another baby but..." she stops as she starts playing with the button of his shirt.

"But what babu? Say it." he says, encouraging her to continue.

"I'm scared!" she says.

"Scared of what?" he asks concerned.

"Of labour pain and delivery. It pains so much." she says making a crying face.

Laksh starts laughing at that. Ragini glares him.

"You didn't see me giving birth to Aanya and Ishanvi that's why you're laughing. It was so painful. At that time I was feeling like it was the end of me." she says remembering that time.

Laksh stops laughing at that.

"I'm sorry!" he says as he turns his face away.

Ragini looks at him confused. She makes him look at her.

"Sorry for what?" she asks.

"For not being there for you when you needed me. For not being there during the birth of our daughters." he says.

Ragini sighs as he hides her face in his chest.

"Laksh! We've left all that behind na. Then why are you thinking about it again? It's okay! Let us not talk about it." she mumbles.

Laksh hugs her as he starts running his hand on her back.

"I love you."

"I love you too three four and much more."

Ragini giggles at that.

***

Seven years later

"Ishu, tell me what did Anu do?" asks Ragini strictly to her daughter.

They were in Raglak's room. Laksh was sitting with his finger on his lips as Ragini was taking class of their daughters. He was ordered by his wife for not taking their side.

Ishanvi looks at her mother then at her twin sister and then her father.

"Aanu beat Rohan!" answers Ishanvi in a low voice.

"What? Why?" asks Laksh in shock.

"Because he called Ishu beautiful." replies Aanya angrily.

"What? Oh my god!" says Laksh as he jumps on his seat.

Ragini shakes her head at her husband.

"So what?" she asks to Aanya.

"So he can't call my sister beautiful." replies Aanya with wide eyes.

"And why so?" asks Ragini.

"Because she's my sister and only I can call her beautiful and ugly. No one else." says Aanya stubbornly.

"Seriously?" asks Ragini as she hits her palm on her head.

"Yes!" says Aanya as she pulls Ishanvi with her.

Ragini then looks at Laksh.

"She's crazy! What was the need for her to beat him? These girls are getting on my nerves now! They never listens to me." she says as she moves towards her husband.

Laksh doesn't answer. He was lost somewhere.

"Hello, I'm talking to you. And why did you act like that?" asks Ragini confused.

"Huh... Today a boy called my daughter beautiful and you're saying like nothing happened." says Laksh with wide eyes.

"Ya, so he didn't do anything wrong. He called our daughter beautiful because she's beautiful. What's the big deal?" asks Ragini as she rolls her eyes.

"There's a big deal. Today he called my daughter beautiful. Tomorrow he'll flirt with her and the day after tomorrow he'll make her his girlfriend. Aanu did a good job by beating him. He deserves it." he says angrily.

"Laksh! Are you crazy? They're not even ten and you're thinking about dating n all!" she says.

"I'm talking about future. I don't want anyone flirting or trying on my daughters." says Laksh.

"Saying the man who made a girl pregnant before marriage." she says as she crosses her arms at her front.

"Ours was a different case." he tries to defend himself.

Ragini just rolls her eyes in return. She knows that arguing with him is just a waste of time.

"Don't know how will you deal with the things like their marriage and all. What will you do when they'll go away after getting married?" she asks lifting her eyebrows.

"I'll find the boys who'll live with us after their marriages not take my daughters away." he says casually as he sits on the bed pulling her onto his lap.

"You're just impossible!" says Ragini.

"But you love me like I am." says Laksh as one of his hands slips inside her shirt.

"Yes, I do!" she says with a smile as she merges her forehead with his.
