Three girls are shown with a man in a shopping mall in a men's section. They were involved in discussing about which outfit will be suitable for the man and the man was shaking his head seeing the three girls craziness towards shopping.

And the man is Shivaay and the three girls are Sanjana Vadhera, Virika's elder daughter; Ishika Oberoi, Shivika's daughter and Ruhi Oberoi, Ruvya's only daughter. All the three girls decided to go on for shopping as Shivika's 25th wedding anniversary is the following day.

The girl gang decided to shop for everyone and dragged Shivaay along with them.

Shivaay: Girls, it has been one hour and you are still not able to finalize anything!

Ishika: Papa, its your shopping that we are doing! It's your big day tomorrow and you have to look great! Be patient!

Sanjana: Yes phoopha! Can't you do this much to us!

Ruhi: Very bad bade papa!

He shook his head at their antics and finally choose his outfit after all the three had decided to wine colored three piece suit.

Shivaay: Abh ghar chale?

He had to go to office to complete some of his pending works and didn't knew what's in store for him.

Ishika: Papa, abhi toh sirf aap ki shopping complete hui hai! We have to shop for everyone right? And you also have to select ma's outfit!

Ruhi: ha bade papa! Abhi toh hum teeno ki shopping bhi baaki hai! And hume badi ma ke liye gifts bhi lena hai! What say didi's?

Other girls nodded.

Sanjana: Please phupha!

All girls: Please!

And Shivaay again bowed to their orders making the girls smile.

*****

Anika along with her loving sons had already completed their shopping and now they are cooking Anika's favorite dishes. She is sitting on a chair and smiling seeing all of them cooking and enjoying. 

The eldest boy was Ansh Singh Oberoi, Shivika's eldest son; Ishaan Singh Oberoi, Shivika's younger son and twin brother of Ishika; Atharv Vadhera, Virika's younger son and Aditya Singh Oberoi, Rikara's only son.

Smile was never leaving her face. All the four of them are indeed close to her and she loves them equally. She sees ShivOmRu in these four. Ishaan comes to her holding a spoon in his hand.

Ishaan: Ma, taste this and say kaisi bani hai?

Anika had it while everyone were waiting for her answer. First she made a bad face which made all of them sad but she smiled immediately making all of them squeal in happiness and all the four hugged Anika tightly.

*****

Next day:

Oberoi Mansion:

Shivaay sees Anika sleeping peacefully and giggles. Its been 25 years yet her sleeping habits didn't change. Sitting next to her, he caresses her face and kissed her forehead thanking for all the happiness she had given to him.

S: Good morning jaan!

Anika slowly wakes up and sees Shivaay all ready and smiled.

A: Happy anniversary hubby!

S: Happy anniversary to you too jaan!

He kissed her forehead and she gave a small blushy smile.

S: Anu, its been 25 years yet you blush like this?

A(giggling): Universal truths never change Shiv!

S: Neither does my love for you.

A: Cheesy Singh Oberoi! Now let me go and get ready. Phir hume mandir bhi jaana hoga!

S: Should I help you getting ready?

A: Shivaay! You will never ever change na!

S(with tadi): Shivaay Singh Oberoi promised to be the same cheapda forever and I never back off from my words!

A: You are impossible!

She stood up and about to go but he held her hand and hugged her tightly. She smiled and hugged him back.

S: Thank you for the amazing 25 years wifey!

A: And an advance thank you for the upcoming forever love!

Shivaay smiled and caressed her hair. Both of them parted when they heard door knock.

S: Pehle Rudra mere romance ka villain tha abh yeh post humare bacho ne le liya!

A: You are mad!

She pushed him and opened the door and their kids took both of them in a bone crashing hug.

Kids: Happy anniversary!

Shivika: Thank you everyone!

Ansh: Ma papa, get ready soon! Its getting late for pooja!

Ishika: Offo over punctual bhaiyya! Its mumma-papa's anniversary. It comes only once for an year. Let them do romance!

Ishaan: Ishu is right! You are hopelessly unromantic bhaiyya! Pata nahi unka kya haal hoga?

All: Kiska?

Ishan: Mere hone wale bhabhi ka!

The twins shared hi-fi while Ansh looked at both of them with shock evident on his face.

Ishika(winking at Ansh): Waise bhaiyya, you can tell us if you have anyone in your heart!

Ansh: You all are impossible!

Anika: Anshu do you really have someone in your life?

Ansh: Ma, you will be the first person to whom I will say when I would have someone in my life!

Aditya(Rikara's son): Badima, I think bhaiya is waiting for that magical moment!

Ansh: What magical moment?

Ishika: I will explain..So my dear bhaiyya! See in old romantic movies jab hero and heroin meet for the first time..A romantic song will be running in the background, atmosphere turns romantic, cool breeze and..

Ansh: Stop!

Ruhi: why stop bhaiyya! Tabhi hoga na woh..

Everyone: Kya hoga?

All kids except Ansh: Bhaiyya aur bhabhi ka milan!

All the kids ran from there and Shivika giggled.

Shivaay: Remember we also used to tease each other like this!

Anika nodded and hugged him.

S: So Mrs. Shivaay where did I stop...Yes! I remember I asked if you need a help in getting ready!

A: And remember I said you are a certified cheapda!

She pushed him gently and taking her sari she left to washroom. He smiled and giggled seeing her never changed habits. Soon Shivaay also got ready and both moved downstairs. Rikara and Ruvya were also ready and the four of them greeted Shivika. The couple took blessings from Tejvi and Shinky. A pooja was conducted for Shivika's happy life and for the happiness of their kids.

There was a party organized at evening and all the kids took the responsibility for it under Ansh's guidance. All of them love Ansh a lot and Shivaay sees himself in his junior. He still remembers Anika's words that her first born would be a boy and he will take care of his siblings just like Shivaay and Viren does.

Ishika fulfilled the dream that Shivaay had of pampering a girl child. Ishika and Ansh share bond like Anika & Viren while her bond with Ishaan is exactly opposite.

Shivaay and Ansh can go to any extent to fulfill her wishes. Anika always scolds Shivaay for being over possessive towards Ishika and the statement he always says is that his Ishu is a kid and its his responsibility to protect her from all the bad.

Ishaan is a perfect combo of Shivika. He enjoys his life like his mother Anika and is responsible like Shivaay. Ishaan and Ishika always had a tom & jerry relationship. He always finds chances to tease her while Ansh always cheers her mood up.

Evening:

All the family members were present at the venue and the guests started arriving. All the kids are roaming from one side to other to make sure arrangements for one last time. Ansh took a mike and grabbed everyone's attention.

Ansh: Good evening ladies and gentleman! I would like to thank everyone for being a part of our happiness..Om chachu wants to say something!

Om: Congratulations Shivaay and bhabhi for celebrating 25 years of togetherness! Thank you Anika bhabhi for bringing out best version of Shivaay! For changing work-a-holic Singh Oberoi into Sweet Singh Oberoi! For always guiding us the right way! And thank you Shivaay for always supporting bhabhi and being with her! Thank you for bringing happiness in form of bhabhi!

Anika smiled and placed her head on Shivaay's chest while he placed his hand around her hugging her tightly.

Ishika: Kya Om chachu bohot senti kar diya sab ko! Lets change to romantic mood! 

All kids hooted. 

Sanjana: Lekin isse pehle, bua and phupha ke liye ek surprise hai!

Aditya played the video which had Shivika's proposal at Dehradun, Shivika's marraige, Anika's first time entry into Oberoi Mansion as Shivaay's wife, Shivika playing with all the kids and all the happy moments they shared together. 

The couple was very much happy with the efforts their kids had put up. Shivaay kissed her temple and Anika looked into his eyes. Both of them felt nostalgic.

Ansh moved to the stage and said its time for another surprise.

S: You know something about it?

Anika shrugged. The lights were off for a while and Shivaay hugged her close to him. Now Anika no more feels fear of darkness as she understood Shivaay is her Sun who will destroy all the darkness from her life.

When the lights were on they saw all the kids sitting on chairs holding violins. Anika had tears in her eyes knowing what could it be. All the kids played the tune that Shivika had composed. Both of them went awe looking at the effort their kids had did for them. The LED screen displayed Shivika's beautiful memories.

S: They still remember it!

Anika looked at him and smiled. What more can she ask from God! She is indeed very very lucky to have Shivaay as her life partner and such loving kids. All the kids hugged Shivika and thanked them for being amazing parents.

Later Shivika were wished by family, friends and business associates. Ansh made the dance floor open and the couple of the night started to dance in each others arms.

S: Thank you for being the love of my life!

A: Thank you for supporting me through thick and thin!

S: I love you for giving me all the happiness!

A: I love you for being the reason of my happiness!

S: I love you Pannika!

A: I love you too Bhagad billa!
