Chapter 11

20 years later…
                   
            The Khanna-Sharma House is full of people because today they seem to be having a little gathering at home. Yes, it's the K-S House now, because a few years ago they had construction done to the house so that the two separate houses, which were next to each other could be joined together into one very enormous mansion. Yeah as if, they all don't spend enough time with each other! Soon the doorbell rings and the women, who are currently occupying the kitchen, come out to answer the door. The women find, three very attractive men standing in front of them holding bags of food.

The men push through the door screaming, "We brought the food you all wanted!" One woman yanks at her husband before he can step onto the carpet, "Angad don't track dirt all over the carpet!" Angad turns around looking just as handsome, yet more mature with his grown goatee giving him that sexy unshaven look. He throws his arms around his wife saying, "Krips I'm sorry!" Kripa smacks him over the head saying, "You're just as bad as Prateek and Sur!" Angad rubs his head, while smiling as he watches his beautiful wife exit the room. He can't seem to stop himself from checking her out. Even today, she looks just as gorgeous as she was when she was younger. He smirks and decides to go follow his wife. Angad and Kripa are still working at Khash and it has become the biggest fashion house in India, with their clientele ranging from hundreds of celebrities to normal townspeople.

Another attractive man comes and throws his arm around the drop dead gorgeous woman's petite frame. He gives her a peck on the cheek whispering, "Miss me Anju?" She laughs, "Oh yes, I was traumatized that you decided to leave for twenty minutes to get food Kavya! I had no clue what I would do without you, how I would survive! The agony Kavya, the agony!" Kavya pulls her closer, "Okay fine, but there is no need to get all sarcastic!" Anjali slaps his arm away saying, "I can't believe it took three fully grown men to go get food! Seriously, couldn't one of you just have gone to pick it up?" Kavya grins, "Well yeah we could have, but then the rest of us would have to help you all clean so…" Kavya slips out the room before Anjali can come and slap him senseless. Kavya continued to model for years, but now he selects models for their fashion house, Khash. Anjali was able to model for a couple years after giving birth to Ved, but she found fashion designing to be her true calling. Her creative mind is one of the reasons that the Khash collections are so widely appreciated.

Another man approaches an attractive looking woman. They both start to laugh because of the two previous couples. The woman turns to him saying, "God Neev, yeh char kabhi nahin badlenge!" Neev laughs pulling the woman closer, "You're talking about them not changing? Prachi we act just as ridiculous as them! I hope we don't change because I like all of us acting like this!" Prachi tries getting out of his grasp, "Neev chordo! Dekho sab bache aane wale honge college se, koi dekhlega!" Neev pulls her even closer, "Prachi you worry too much…oh crap! Hi, umm Josh and Aali! We were just umm oh hey Prem and Mukti… Aren't you all a little early?" Josh, Aaliya, Prem, and Mukti just grin replying, "Nope!" They all enter the house to help set up the food. Neev and Prachi are still working at a hospital, in fact a couple years ago they were able to construct their own hospital, which is named Khash Hospital. Neev is incharge of surgical operations and Prachi is responsible for the gynecology department. Their parents oversee the rest of the hospital. The hospital does a lot of research and charity work, making it renowned in the nation.

Getting back to Josh, Aaliya, Prem and Mukti—It just so happens that years ago, when the two properties across the street went on sale, Josh and Prem immediately decided to buy the houses. It was not only because they were all such good friends, but also because their children were such good friends. As for kids—Angad, Kripa, Kavya, Anjali, Neev, and Prachi all decided not to have any more kids because well there were four kids running around the house already and that was definitely more than enough. Josh and Aaliya however apart from Shabd, had baby girl a year later, named Priyanka. Prem and Mukti too had another baby girl a year later, named Vidya. After those four had filled their quota of two children, they too called it quits for having any more.

The children are already in college and all eight of them are in the same year—their final year. Priyanka and Vidya turned out to be super geniuses, well smart enough to skip a grade anyways and are in the same grade as their friends. Prateek, Ved, Shabd, Suraj, Priyanka, Vidya, Sur, and Kiran are the popular crowd of their college—known for their jocks, players, beauties, and brains all wrapped in one group. All the boys at college are in love with these four girls, while the female population fawns over the four boys. Prateek and Priyanka happen to be dating and are the hottest couple on campus. Ved and Vidya share a love hate relationship, well mainly because Vidya loves to rub it in to Ved that she is super smart, while Ved loves to annoy her in any and every way possible. Shabd is the resident badass player on campus with girls around him wherever he goes, but he only hangs out with the girls to get a rise out of Sur along with trying to gain her attention. Sur also has the whole male population vying for her attention, but all she can focus on is Shabd being surrounded by tons of women; she has a slight crush on him, which she thinks will soon pass—okay no more like she hopes it will pass soon.  Suraj and Kiran are a lot shyer in that they both are in love with each other, but Suraj fears rejection.

Just then the kids come charging through the door. The first one to enter is Sur, who looks exactly like Kripa when she was younger.  Sur starts yelling, "Shabd you got us both detentions!" A boy soon follows and his resemblance to Angad is remarkable. Prateek says, "Come on sis, it was an accident. He accidently fell on top of you and the teacher saw, thinking it was PDA. It's not his fault" Sur snaps, "Well why was he running in the first place!?" Shabd comes into the room laughing, "Hey I was trying to run away from Piya! God that girl is clingy!" Sur yells, "Well then why are you dating her?" Shabd smirks and folds his arms, while standing in front of Sur, "Jealous?" Sur turns red and moves her head away from him. She stubbornly replies, "NO!" Shabd grins at her outburst and Sur says softly, "I mean no, why would I be jealous of her! Mind you, I'm one of the hottest girls at college! Plus she has nothing I would ever want!" Shabd smirks at her stubborn nature and leans in close to her ear. He whispers seductively, "Except me…" With that he gets up and walks away leaving Sur in a daze.

Priyanka comes from behind and gives Prateek a kiss on the cheek. She says softly, "Hey babe!" Prateek leans in to kiss her, when they both hear a cough. They both turn around to see Josh a bit mad. Josh yells, "Prateek! No, no, no and NO! There will be no hugging, kissing, or TOUCHING in this house! God kids it's called self control! Besides when I was your age… uhh… ahem never mind…" Prateek laughs throwing his arm around Priyanka, "Kya Josh Uncle, you know how much I love Pri! Besides I know very well how you and Aali Auntie got married!" Josh looks shocked whispers in Prateek's ear, "You know about that?" Prateek nods, "Yup!" Josh turns red and then looks at the pair, "Fine, but NO KISSING! I don't want to see that if I can help it!" Prateek smirks, "No probs Uncle!" Priyanka blushes in his arms.

In the corner, Vidya and Ved seem to be arguing. Vidya yells, "Ved give me my book! I was reading that!" Ved smirks, "You're not gonna get it back with that attitude missy, that's for sure! Besides you completely embarrassed me in front of that girl" Vidya yells while struggling to the get the book, "Yea well you deserved it after embarrassing me in class today!" Vidya stomps on Ved's foot, which causes him to drop the book and hold onto his foot from pain. Vidya runs off, while Ved chases her half limping. He yells, "Vidi get back here!" Vidya sticks her tongue out at him while Ved smirks, "Don't stick that out if you don't plan on using it!" Vidya stops running and looks at Ved weirdly, "Huh? Is that even suppose to make sense… OH EWW YOU PERV! …Oh CRAP! AHHHHHH!!! MOM, VED WON'T STOP CHASING ME!!!"

Kiran sits on a couch and watches television, while Suraj looks lost as to where everyone disappeared. Kiran looks over at Suraj and motions him to sit next to her. Kiran slowly says, "Suraj come watch T.V. with me!" Suraj nods and his cheeks slightly turn red as he sits next to her. Everytime their fingers brush they get both turn redder. Suraj suddenly blurts out, "Kiran will you go to the dance with me?" Kiran turns around shocked and speechless. Suraj notices her contemplating and quickly adds, "It's okay if you don't want you, I mean I won't mind. I just thought…" Kiran places her finger on his lips and softly says, "I'd like that" They both smile and she moves closer on the couch, with her head resting on his shoulder. Suraj smiles looking at her and then turns his attention to the television.

Just then, the women come out of the kitchen and yell, "Kids dinner is ready!" The kids all gather and start serving themselves. The kids start walking towards the living room with their food and plop down on the couches, arguing about one thing or another. Angad, Kavya, and Neev help bring their parents to the table to eat dinner. Dilip, Naina, Surya, and Gayatri have become quite old, yet their children have made sure they remain healthy and fit. Angad, Kavya, and Neev join Prem, Mukti, Aaliya and Josh at the table after giving their wives a light kiss. Kripa, Anjali and Prachi start serving their parents and walk around making sure everyone has food without even getting any themselves. Them being the wonderful husbands they are, quickly pull their wives into their laps and feed them food. As per usual, the wives complain about having to sit in their husbands laps.

            Gayatri and Naina look over towards their grandchildren to see them sitting in pairs on the couches—the two wise women knew instantly that their grandchildren had already found their soul mates and they were sitting right next to them even if they did not want to believe it. Dilip and Surya laugh watching their own kids who look just as much in love as they were back in college with their wives. Naina and Gayatri look back at their grandchildren saying, "Wah in sab ki kya dosti hai!" Dilip and Surya shake their heads and point to their own children, "Yeh dekho in sab ka kya pyaar hai!" Gayatri, Naina, Surya, and Dilip smile, "Lagta hain hamare bachon ki tarah inke bachon ko bhi mil jayega dosti mein pyaar!
