"Papa.. i don't wanna go school today." Whispered 4 years old khushi to his father.

"Don't tell me you want me to convince your stubborn mommy for it!" Neil said rolling his eyes with his little daughter on his lap while he was combing her hairs.

"If you wouldn't help me.. then who will! Please papa!" She requested in her child voice.

"Okay! But what would I get for it?" He replied.

"What you want? My barbie?" She asked with with worried eyes.

Neil chuckled and hugged her.

"No. I am not gonna take your barbie.. but I want kiss from MY BARBIE. So tell me.. deal?" Neil asked forwarding his hand.

Khushi rolled her eyes.
"You could have told me before papa!" Khushi says before kissing his cheeks.

He then picked her up in his arms and went to THE HOME MINISTER!

"Avni!" He said

"Yes" she replies while cooking.

"Actually.. I am not going police station today. Means I don't have much work there today so I thought we should go out somewhere.." he said fumbling

"Neil.." Avni rolled her eyes

"So khushi is not going school today!" He said in one breath while khushi winked looking at him.

"I knew it.. I knew it! When she went to you for combing her hairs. Neil you always agree to her and that has become a way to her!" Avni said annoyed.

Both father and daughter duo looked each other.

"Pleaseeeeeeeeee!" They both said in unison.

"Yes Avni. Today you have to agree!" Said bebe coming inside.

Avni turned towards her.

"Picnic plan today!" Shweta said pulling cheeks of their little bundle of joy.

"Okay Okay Okay! No problem. When full gang is here so how can I say no!" She said laughing.

"Yayyyyyy! Love you mommy!" Khushi said smiling.

"It was I who helped!" Neil said looking at her.

"It was deal papa!" Khushi said kissing his cheek.

All laughed at the cute antics of hers.

Neil, Avni and the little one got ready quickly. The elderly refused to go as they wanted them to spend some time..

"Neil where are we going?" Avni asked

"Wait Avni!" He replied

"Mommy it's mine and papa's secret. Right papa?" Khushi said sitting on avni's lap.

"Yesss" neil said and they both hi-fived

While Avni just looked at both of them in disbelief.

They both are her source of happiness.. her life completes around them. Everyday when she sees them, their happy and perfect family.. the contentment and happiness is the only feeling embracing her heart.
Whenever she see her daughter smiling.. that's when she is completed.
Whenever she see her husband with her, with their daughter,with them... that's when all her struggle throughout her life becomes worth it.
And whenever she see their family with them with their blessings for both of them.. that's when she feels her love has succeeded!

They were at Lonavla.
As they reached the same place there where she brought him years ago..
that day also they were here to make memories but with tears in their eyes and pain in their hearts, but today.. they are again here to make memories.. but today with a smile. They are happy today without any fear of losing anyone. They are complete.

And one more difference.. that day the two of them came in bike.. and today in an open jeep. Courtesy khushi!

Avni was standing ahead absorbing the beautiful view in her eyes, while Neil was standing behind her holding khushi's hand and the duo were adoring the most important woman of their life!

Avni's trail of thoughts were broken by that innocent voice unaware of the past memories of her parents.

"Papa this place is sooo beautiful. See mommy even forgot us after coming here!"

Neil chuckled at her complaint.

Avni looked at both of them.
Neil made khushi sit in the car and moved forward to avni.

"So how's the surprise?" He asked

Avni just hugged him.. no words required!

"Avni.. I want to ask you one thing." He said

"Go ahead.."

"What was the last thing you wrote in your wish list which you scribbled?" He asked narrowing his eyes.

Avni just smiled again

"Tell now!" He said again.

"To Marry you!" She said hugging him more tightly.

Before they could say anything further..

"Why would I tell you?" They listened their daughter shouting to another little boy.

"Means your parents are not as good as mine.. today my mum told me they had a love marriage and it was just like a fairy tale!" The boy said to khushi.

"What do you mean? You don't even know how much my parents love each other.." Khushi again shouted on him keeping her hands on her waist.

Seeing her arguing.. they both reached to her.

"What happened?" Avni asked her.

"One second!" Khushi said to the boy.

"Mommy and Papa listen! This stupid, idiot.."

"You don't have to use those words!" Avni stopped her in between.

"Okay sorry! But this boy here is talking that his parents are the best couple!" She said rolling her eyes

"So What is the issue?"neil asked

"When I can see my perfect couple in front of me so how could he say that?!" She raged.

"Relax! Baby you go there your parents are waiting for you Okay?" Avni said the boy

The boy went from there but not before giving khushi the deadly glares though he got the most dangerous one by her in return.

"Okay so tell now!" Neil asked picking her up in his arms.

"Tell the truth.. yours was an Arranged or Love marriage?" She asked.

Avni and Neil looked into each other's eyes.. it is just so different feeling to tell your child about your love.!
Neil was lost in his thoughts.. this moment was special.. his love along him and their world in his arms! What more happy life a person could ask for?!

"Love!" They both said smiling towards their daughter to which the little doll replied by hugging both of them by encircling her small hands around the necks of both of them.
