Siri was sitting in the green room, getting ready for her dance performance. She was fidgeting her fingers in nervousness. She has given many performances before, but this time she is doing it for a good cause. She was helping an NGO, who was raising funds for the cancer patients.

Everytime Anjali or any one of the family members used to accompany her, but this time no one came, except her bodyguards. Everyone gave her excuses, that they had important works, and would watch her performance live from their respective work places.

She was brought out her thoughts, by the knock on the door. She unlocked the door and saw the organizer. She told her that everything is ready, and are just waiting for her.

"Okay, I'm coming. Just five minutes", said Siri.

She looked herself in the mirror, and took a deep breath. She composed herself and moved towards the stage, when she saw Pranav standing at the back of the stage. A smile formed on her face, looking at him.

"What are you doing here?" Asked Siri, folding her hands.

"Arey, I just came to encourage you, little one. It's okay, if you don't want, I'll go from here", said Pranav.

"Don't you have important work?" She asked him with sarcasm.

"What will be more important to me than you little one?" Pranav thought in his mind.

"Did you say something?" Asked Siri.

"No, did you hear anything?" Asked Pranav.

"No", said Siri.

They heard, the host calling her name.

Pranav embraced her in his arms and said, kissing her forehead, "Calm down little one. This is not your first performance, and remember you are doing it for a good cause. Uncle will be so proud looking at you. So, stop being nervous and rock the performance."

"You'll be here only, right", she asked, raising her head.

"I'll sit in the front row and cheer you, So now go and make us proud once again", said Pranav.

Siri went on to the stage and closed her eyes, praying for the God. When the curtain raised, she looked at Pranav who was sitting in the front row. He said, all the best to her and showed his thumbs up.

------------------------

Pranav was capturing her in his mobile and admiring her. He fell in love with her once again, by looking at the way she is doing the dance gracefully, forgetting the world around her.

Siri finished her performance, and bowed in front of all. She heard claps echoing the whole auditorium. A smile formed on her face. She gestured Pranav to come to back of the stage. She hugged him tight and pecked his cheeks and muttered, "Thank you".

******************

Aashi is in her apartment, preparing dough for the cookies. And Suhaas is back hugging her, nuzzling his face in the crook of her neck.

"I love you, sweetheart", said Suhaas.

"I love you too", Aashi said, turning her face back and pecking his lips.

"Suhaas?"

"Yes, sweetheart", he mumbled against her skin.

"I want to go out and feel the fresh air", said Aashi.

"But"

"No, I don't want to listen any of your excuses. You guys didn't let me step out of the house from the time I had woke up from coma, saying that, I'm weak. Now, I'm fit and fine. So, please let's go out just for some time. I feel like, I'm caged.", said Aashi.

Suhaas grip on her became firm, listening to her. He could understand her feelings. But the point here is, they still couldn't trace the culprits of her parents. What if they come to know that she is alive? No, he can't afford to loose her, she is her life. He spent the last one year like a machine, while she was in coma. He used to spend his whole day in the office only. On weekends he used to spend his entire time with her. He became mad without listening to her voice.

But the question is, for how many days they can cage her? If they go out, then media will definitely spot them. And they will get to know about her. That's the reason they didn't allow any media during Arjun & Diya's and Veeru & Taara's, and Sravya & Surya's weddings. And also he purposely, delaying their wedding for her safety. Though he proposed her for the marriage long back, on the day she got graduated. He has decided that he will marry her, the next moment, he brings justice to her parents.

Once he caught the culprits, he would make sure, that they beg for their death, unable to bear his tortures.

He was brought of his thoughts by Aashi's question.

"You people are hiding something from me, aren't you?" Asked Aashi.

"There is nothing like that, sweetheart", he said, turning her around.

"Then why are you not letting me go out?" Asked Aashi.

On seeing that there is no way to escape, he thought to take her out for the dinner.

"Fine, we will go out for lunch and then to movie. But there will be body guards around us. Are you okay with it?" Asked Suhaas.

"Double okay", Aashi said, giving her full blown smile.

"I hope everything goes well", Suhaas thought in his mind.

Arpita is working in her cabin, giving instructions to her PA and Manager and Head of the designing department regarding a project, when the door got open.

There stood Vansh and Varsha, giving her mother their toothy smiles. Behind them stood their nanny, making a sorry face. Both of them came inside and silently sat on the sofa with the help of the nanny, which is in the corner of the room. They were munching on the cookies, and looking at their mother innocently.

They sat silently without disturbing their mother, till her meeting got over.

"Did my munchkins got bored at home?" Asked Arpita, sitting beside them.

"Yesh amma", Vansh said cutely, climbing on her lap.

He made himself comfortable in his mother's lap, and snuggled into her, seeking his mother's warmth. Varsha pouted, looking at her mother. Arpita shook her head at daughter, and made her also sit on her lap, making her grin. Arpita's PA smiled, looking at the cute family.

She gestured her PA and the nanny to go out. She locked her cabin and opened all the curtains with the remote, such that no one could see inside. She covered herself with a scarf, unhooked her shirt buttons and fed both of them.

She made Vansh sit beside after feeding him and was feeding Varsha, when she got a video call from Yash. Vansh being Daddy's little champ got excited, seeing his face. He answered the call and shouted, "Nanna" in his baby voice, making Arpita and Yash chuckle.

"What are my naughty ones doing in their Amma's office?" Asked Yash.

Vansh was tapping the mobile screen, looking at Yash's face.

Listening to Yash's voice, Varsha stopped, drinking milk and started wriggling in Arpita's arms to talk with her father.

"You little brat, don't come to me later, asking for your feedy", said Arpita, buttoning her shirt.

Varsha pouted, listening to her and looked at Yash making a puppy face.

"Oyy, stop scolding my princess", said Yash.

"Nanna, I mishh you", said Varsha cutely, snatching the mobile from Vansh.

"Aww, Nanna is also missing his princess", said Yash.

On seeing that, his father was ignoring him, Vansh burst out crying, making Varsha slap her forehead.

"Ayee, chotu shtop (stop) clying (crying)", said Varsha.

"Acha, stop crying baby, look your Nanna is giving you kissy", said Arpita, cajoling him.

Vansh stopped, crying and looked at his father, who was giving him flying kisses, making him giggle.

"Such an attention seeker. Like father, like son", Arpita muttered under her breath, but loud enough that Yash heard her.

Yash gave her a sheepish smile, listening to her.

******************

Avi and Maya are cuddling on the bed. Maya was doodling "I Love You" on his chest, making him smile at her antics.

Avi called her, tucking her hair, "Bunny".

"Hmm", she mumbled, raising her face and looking at him.

Avi asked, pulling her close to him, "How many babies do you want?"

"Umm, two. One boy and a girl", she said, after thinking for a while.

"So, what do you think? It's a boy or girl", asked Avi.

"Of course, he is my little Avi. Just like his father, he is also a foddie. He is making me eat lots of food already", Maya said, pouting.

Avi chuckled, listening to her.

"After all, he is my baby", said Avi, proudly.

Maya glared at him. She was about to scold him, but she ran to the washroom, throwing up everything she had for the breakfast in the morning. And Avi ran behind her. He was rubbing her back and while she leaned her head on his shoulder, feeling dizzy. He made her drink water, and picked her up in his arms. He made her sit on the bed, and prepared lemon water for her.

Avi asked, "Feeling better?"

She mumbled, "Hmm." And gestured to him sit beside her.

She snuggled into him, while he pecked her head.

"Stop troubling your Amma, junior", Avi said, kissing her stomach.

Maya smiled, listening to his words and hugged him tightly.

Avi asked, "Shall I order lunch for us, or shall we go out?"

Maya said, "I don't have mood to go out now. Avi, attayya packed dry-fruits laddoos for me. It must be in the the small bag, give them for me, please."

Avi nodded his head and gave her the laddoos box, and ordered lunch for them.

"You know bunny, I still remember the time, when I held you for the first time in my arms, though I was just a four-year-old kid. Thathayya brought you to me and placed you in my lap. You were wrapped up in a pink towel, looking all pink and cute. And then, you held my finger in your small fist, right that moment you became precious for me. Arjun started, crying seeing that, such an attention seeker he is", Avi chuckled, remembering the beautiful memories. "And then, they took you away from me, as your born before the due date. They had kept you under observation, and everyday I used to come to the hospital to take a glance at you. But they never allowed me", he took a deep breath and continued. "As we started to grow up, my feelings for you became strong. I didn't even realize when you became a integral part of my life. And when you started, ignoring me, I felt broken. I didn't understand what went wrong, I used to wonder did I make any mistake? I used to feel you were close to me yet apart. I tried to talk with you many times, but I didn't. I was afraid, what if you stopped talking with me and go far away from me? I knew something was wrong, but I never knew you through a lot. I'm sorry, I was not there with you when you needed me the most."

He broke down in her arms, while her eyes pooled with tears. She knew, she acted selfish back then. She just thought from her perspective, but she didn't think that her ignorance would affect him badly. She knew, he was badly attached to her. Yet she tried to go away from him. Hell, she even agreed to marry other man. Yes, she might have rejected that first proposal, still she could have just told her parents about her love for Avi. They would have happily agreed. But she got ready to accept other man in her life.

She hugged him tightly and mumbled, "I'm sorry".

"I'm sorry, Avi". She kissed his forehead, and he closed his eyes feeling her lips.

"Never leave me, bunny. I can't live without you. I will just."

She placed her lips on his not letting him, continue his words. She was kissing him lovingly, pouring all her love for him in that kiss.

"Never speak about death, understand", Maya said sternly, breaking the kiss.

He nodded her head and hugged her tightly.

Soon their lunch had arrived, and both of them had it silently. Both of them sat in the balcony of their cottage, looking at the beach. Maya was sitting in Avi's lap, placing her head on his chest.

"Avi?"

"Hmm"

"Surya loves me", said Maya, fidgeting her fingers.

"I know that, and he knows that I know about his love for you", said Avi, making her looked at him wide-eyed.

"So, am I the only one, who doesn't about this?" Asked Maya.

"It's me, Pranav, Sravya, Aashi and you who knew about it. Even Taara knew everything, but not your name", said Avi.

"Then, why did you agree for Sravya's marriage, even after knowing that he loves me? You are always protective about her. You had broke the bones of the boys who tried to approach her. Then why did you agree for their marriage, even after knowing that he loves me not her?" Asked Maya.

"I couldn't get a nice man for her than him. And secondly, she is madly in love with him. Of course, she may lie to us that she is trying to move on from him. But she still loves him deeply and madly. And one-day even he will definitely realize her love for him. And could he get any better girl than my sister who loves him with all her life? But they have a long journey ahead, and have to work hard on their relationship. And mainly Surya, he needs to assure her that he will be beside her forever", said Avi.

"I love you, hubby", Maya said, kissing his cheeks.

******************

Sravya was sitting in her room, to be precise Surya's room which is now theirs. She was working on her laptop and besides her Darsh was sleeping, peacefully.

Just then, Surya walked inside the room and sat beside Darsh. Sravya sat still, trying to ignore his presence, and concentrated on her work.

Surya looked at her, and tried to talk with her. But he failed, he didn't get words to speak.

"Sravya?" Surya called her name, gathering his courage.

"Yes", she said, without turning her face from the laptop.

"Can we talk?" Asked Surya.

"I've to send an important presentation to my father. Can we talk later?" Said Sravya.

"Okay", Surya nodded his head.

Sravya shut her laptop and asked turning towards Surya, "Tell me, what you want to talk?"

He was about to speak, when Darsh woke up from his sleep and started, wailing loudly.

Sravya picked him up in her arms and started, cajoling him.

"What happened to my little prince, hmm? Are you feeling hungry?" She said, in baby voice.

She felt his diaper was heavy. She cleaned him with the warm towel, and changed his diaper.

"Shh, let amma clean you baby. Then you can have your feed peacefully", said Sravya, trying to make him calm.

She took him in her arms and fed him. She was caressing his head lovingly, while Surya sat there admiring them, his little family.
