Part 21

Recap: Rahul Brings Muski to the beautiful Ifle tower as Ridzi,Karan,Suku, and Prateek also reach there and stay back as Rahul had already told them about his plans…

Muski: (looks around the decorated tower happily but as she turns to Rahul she finds him quiet and a bit nervous, then after a pause she asks him) Rahul tum mujhay itni raat ko ifle tower ghumanay laye ho?

Rahul: hmmm shayad…(he comes a bit closer, and Muski takes a step back)

Muski: Usually yahaan per aur bhi kafi loog hotey hain, phir ajj koi nazar kyun nahi araha?

Rahul: (continues to walk closer to her as she asks the question still maintiang her distance from Rahul) Kyunki ajj maine yeh spot humaray liye reserve karaya hain…

Muski: Reserve? Per kyun…

Rahul: khudi dekhlo….(Rahul pointed towards Paris's starry sky, above the magnificant Ifle tower)

Muski: Uper?

Rahul: (nods his head) Haan uper, asmaan per…

Muski: (Looks surprised and with a mixed expression slowly looks up) Rahul yeh…(before she could finish her sentence compeletly, she noticed light sparkles appearing against the starry sky, then the sparks grew in to complete fireworks and before they knew it they were showering down on them like rain, Muskaan smiled widely looking at the absolutely magical sight, it literally took her breath away, and just as she was about to bow her head down back towards Rahul, she noticed that some writing was starting to appear with the fireworks…and as she waited for fireworks to spell out the sentence Rahul ahd already knelt down on one of his knees holding up the ring in his hand, but Muskaan was just astounded by the display that went on above her head. The sky filled with glliter and color spelled 'Will you Marry Me Muskaan?' with fresh tears threatening to spill from her brownish eyes she gasped as if trying to catch her own breath that seemed constricted by the fast beat of her heart. With one hand covering her mouth out of excitement and the other placed on her heart she slowly looked down at Rahul and saw the ring that was giving off sparks as Rahul held it up to her. She was speechless.)

Rahul: (looking up in to her eyes he spftly speaks) Main Rahul Garewal apni baaqi ki zindagi Muskaan Chadda kay saath ghuzarna chahta hoon, Kya tum meray iss dil se liye faisley mein mera saath do ge Muskaan?

Muskaan: (clearly hearing his honest words and the fact that he had reffered to her as "Muskaan Chadda" not "Muskaan Malik", he had reffered to her as what she was when she was born in this world, the name that marked her identity, the one given by her parents. Her tears were flowing down her cheeks, she was overwhelmed) Ra..R..

Rahul: Muskaan please…dekho main kafi der se apni knee per yun behta hua ho…please…

Muskaan: (smiles through her tears and cupped his face in her hands, kind of bending down towards him, they share a short eyelock, then Muskaan softly speaks up) Haan Rahul…

Rahul: Muskaan thora uncha bolo na please… (he was jus teasing her as she was very shy accepting his proposal)

Muskaan: (She looks up at him and smiles then says a bit louder) Haan Rahul main tumharay iss faisley mein tumhara saath denay kay liye tayaar ho… I will marry you Dr.Rahul Garewal…

Rahul: (Smiles and stands up slowly holding Muskaan's hand in his, they both look at one another and exchange sweet glances. Rahul slides the delicate dimond ring in Muskaan's finger. He kisses her hand gently making Muskaan turn a deep shade of crimson) I will always…always love you and Prateek…aur zindagi mein agay chahay kuch bhi hojaye…tum mera saath kabhi bhi apnay se dur nahi paao ge, kabhi nahi…and that i can promise you without any doubts.

Muskaan:Jaanti ho Rahul, per iss vaadey kay saath yeh bhi Promise karo Rahul kay abb Prateek aur mujhay voh sub dukh aur dard nahi sehnay paray gay jinko main bahut saloon se seh rahi hoon….promise me kay humara pyaar kabhi aik dusray kay liye kum nahi parey ga…humara rishta chahay jitna bhi purana hojaye isski izzat aur importance kabhi kum nahi hoge…

Rahul: (cupps her face gently in his strong hands and looks in to her intense eyes) I promise…(he smiles and Muskaan hides herself in his embrace without any hesitance. She rested her head against his chest and felt his heartbeat, calm and serene, the feeling almost ridiated to her heart as well. Rahul wrapped his arms around her delicate figure and his protective grip assured Muskaan that she will no longer live in fear, that her son will have a father in his life, and that her heart will be complete just like she had always wanted it to be.)

Suku: (walks towards the much in love couple with the rest of the people and loudly congratulates them) Congratulations!!

Muskaan: (opens her eyes and sort of jerks back from Rahul's passionate hug upon Suku's chirpy voice)

Rahul: (smiles, letting her go for now)

Ridzi comes and hugs Muski, Prateek leaps on to Rahul, Karan and Suku smiled watching the two. Muskaan and Rahul both were congratulated upon their new relationship.

Ridzi: So how does it feel best friend?

Muski: it feels great Ridzi…(she says looking right at Rahul who was holding Prateek in his arms)

Karan: Thank you so much Muskaan…Rahul ajj saach mein bahut khush hain… I have never seen him this happy…ever…

Suku: Ofcourse, yeh Khushi sirf Muskaan he de sakti thi meray best friend ko…Karan tum bhi na…anyways…this is great news…! (she excitedly hugs Muski and Ridzi as well)

~After a little while Karan, Suku, and Ridzi take off as Suku and Karan were heading back to New Jersey since it was Karan's conference and he was needed there. They both wish RaMusk best wishes and say their good byes without getting too emotional (especially suku) Ridzi goes to see them off as she thought it might be nice to have the future family to spend some time together.~

Prateek: Toh abb toh main appko officially dad bol sakta ho na?

Rahul: (smiles and ruffles the little boy's hair as he was thinking of an answer)

Muskaan: (comes from behind after she overhears the sweetly asked question) Haan....

Prateek: Saach! Mom… (he asks excitedly jumping in to Muski's arms)

Muskaan: (looking over at Rahul while holding Prateek) Haan, ofcourse aggar Rahul ko koi problem na ho toh…

Rahul: Problem aur mujhay, No ways…Prateek I think tumharai mom ko nahi pata kay tum toh mujhay pehlay se hi dad boltey ho…yaad hain jub hum pehli dafa millay thay…?

Prateek: oooooohhhh haan….i forgot…(he says cutely) dekha mom Rahul ko toh koi problem nahi hain…abb main school mein sub se kaho ga kay meray mom aur dad dono mujhay school chornay aaye gay…koi mujhay tease nahi karay ga kay meray dad nahi hain…(he explained with innocene and sadness as Muskaan and Rahul both were touched to hear him say what he had never even told Muskaan before)

Rahul: Yup that's right champ! Aur I promise you kay ajj se app ko bhi nahi tease karay ga…

Muskaan: Baby, app nay mujhay yeh baat pehlay kyun nahi batai kay school mein aapko bachay tease kartey thay…?

Prateek: Kyunki mom main jub bhi app se dad ki baat karta app bahut sad hojati, aur phir app kay tears app ki eyes mein nazar bhi atay, issi liye main app se nahi kehta tha. Meri mom hameesha mujhay smile deyti hain toh phir Prateek mom ko tears kyun deta…?

Muskaan: (completely awed at her son's concern, she found tears of joy brimming again as she smiled through them)

Rahul: (takes Prateek from Muski's arms and Kisses him on his cheek) That's like a good boy! Per Prateek abb toh main tumhara dad ho na, issi liye mom se meray baray mein jo baat karni ho araam se karna, voh ghussa hogi, smile karay ge, naraaz hongi, per I promise kabi sad nahi hongi…hain na mom? (he looked over at Muskaan and questioned her as she was intently looking at the most adorable father son pairing ever.)

Muskaan: (sighs) haan kyunki abb meray pass sad hona ka koi reason he nahi hain, sara waqt mujhay tum dono mil kar tang jo kartey raho gay….

Prateek: Oh come on mom! That's what guys do… we just hate girls, they are so annoying…

Rahul: (laughs and imitates Prateek) yeah soooo annoying…

Muskaan: Acha girls annoying hoti hain…you know what main bhi aik girl ho aur aggar mujhay annoying bola toh no more breakfast waffles for you Prateek and no more doing everything by your choice Mr.Dad…(she said pointing her fingers at them like a school teacher)

Rahul: (holding back his laughter, whispers to Prateek) Lagta hain mom ajj teacher ban gaye hain…

Prateek: (giggle covering his mouth) Bilqual meri math waali mean teacher jaise, voh bhi aisay he baat karti hain….

Muskaan: (notices them whispering) Oye! Yeh kya baatein ho rahi hain…?

Rahul: (clears his throat) nahi, kuch bhi toh nahi, hum toh bus sooch rahay thay kay abb ghar chalna chiyay, bahut bhook lagi hain…

Prateek: Haan mom bahut, bahut, bahut bhook lagi hain….(he exaggerated rubbing his tummy as rahul held him in his arms)

Muskaan: (Shakes her head and smiles) Acha baba chaltay hain…tum dono bhi na bilqual aisey expressions banatay ho jaisey pata nahi kitni centuries se bhookay ho...

Rahul: Centuries nahi lifetimes se madam…

Prateek: Mom ghar mein apnay kya banaya hain?

Muskaan: Khud chal kya dekhlo vaisey bhi I am sure tumharay dad se toh kafi acha he banya ho ga…(she said laughing as they made their way to Rahul's car in the parking lot)

~Muskaan and Ridzi's apartment~

Muski: Riddhima maine kal raat kafi kuch bana kar fridge mein rakha tha, saara khana kaha gaya? (she questioned ridzi as she stood with the very empty refrigator's open door)

Ridzi: (looking guilty) umm…voh…actually….

Muskaan: Oh no….not again ridzi…!

Ridzi: I am sorry, main kya karo Muskaan voh sari models aur fashion show ki entire desginging team ajj yahaan aye thi kyunki I had Prateek at home so maine soocha meeting aur rehersals ghar per he kar laytay hain aur phir jub lunch time hua toh everyone just kinda helped themselves to the delicious food you made….i am really sorry best friend… (she said with an apologetic face and Muskaan just smiled)

Muskaan: That's okay…per abb kya karay…? Rahul aur Prateek are both hungry, abhi toh dono X-box mein busy hain per in less then 10 minutes they will be expecting a full on dinner…

Ridzi: ummm take out?

Muskaan: Kal he toh pizza kahaya tha….

Ridzi: Acha toh phir chineese order kar laytay hain… In less 15 minutes yeh table will look like Chow's Cusine…(she winked as she pulled out the menu and dialed Chow's Cusine for an extensive order)

Muskaan: Theek hain, tum order day do main change kar kay aati ho, make sure you tell him the correct apartment number last time Mr.Chow ka delivery boy ghum hogaya tha…

Ridzi: (nodded and mouthed okay as someone had picked up on the other end of the line)

~Muskaan made her way out the kitchen holding her heels in her hands, she was tired after a long day, although this was one of the most beautiful day that marked a new beginning in her life she was still fatigued due to lack of sleep and excitement of being with rahul and thinking about what life has in store for her and her son at this point. Rubbing her neck gently she passed by the living room where she stopped for a minute to observe the excited yelling and hurrays as Rahul and Prateek advanced on to the next level in "Need For Speed 2". Their bonding was so perfect and well synchronized that Muskaan had no doubts upon her decision of starting over with Rahul. She had always tried to be Prateek's mom and dad but the way Prateek was with Rahul was different and so much more than Muskaan trying to be what she wasn't – A Father to her son. She smiled watching them and capturing the moment in her heart, wanting it to stay just like it was at the moment, then as they began another intense round of car racing she quietly went up to her room to change in to something more comfortable than the yellow chiffon saree that she had so lovingly wore this morning for Rahul, who was now her husband to be.~

Muskaan: (now changed in simple white shalwar suit, sits infront on the mirror combing through her hair, she smiles at her reflection, it looked happier and joyful. She continues to untangle the curls in her hair, and then as she glances up in the mirror a slight sparkle from her diamond ring reflects back at her, catching her attention at once. She puts down the hair brush and looks at her hand. Iooks intently at her ring finger, which for many years had remained vacant, and now it had the most beautiful, delicate, and one its kind ring that marked her as Rahul's. She had something that symbolized her strength, her future, and a relationship that she knew will never betray her like before. It was the perfec fit, the perfect match, and the perfect timming)

Rahul: Itni pasand aaye yeh ring?

Muskaan: (startled by his voice and presence, she look up in the mirror and finds rahul standing behind her) Hmmm…bahut…bahut achi hain… (she looks back down at it, smiling shyly)

Rahul: (wraps his arms around her shoulder and bends down to her level) Vaisey mujhay kuch khass pasand nahi aaye, bus theek hain…

Muskaan: Kyun? Yeh tumhari pasand nahi hain kya? (She looked up in the reflection slowly as Rahul's arms were still around her, she could feel his breath on her neckline, it was quite a perfect reflection that she was questioning)

Rahul: Meri pasand toh meray saamnay hain…dekho…(he ponts to the mirror as Muski follows his hand and once again is amazed by the reflection she is looking at so intently and lovingly) Iss duniya mein maine kabhi apni pasand ya choice itni zayaada favor nahi ki jitni iss pasand ko favor kiya hain.

Muskaan: Itna favor karna kabhi kabhi galat bhi toh ho sakta hain?

Rahul: Haan shayad, per mujhay apni pasand per khud se zayada bharoosa hain…(he kisses her cheek lightly, breathing in her scent as she closes her eyes upon his peck. He glances up in the reflection once again and finds her eyes closed as if she is dreaming the sweetest dream, a light shy smile playinga cross her rosy lips- she looked angelic, he captured her picture in his head and smiled to himself. Muskaan opens her eyes slowly and finds him staring at her.)

Muskaan: Aisey kya dekh rahay ho Rahul?

Rahul: Main dekh raha ho kay…kay jub (sighs) jub tum dulhan bano ge toh kaisi lago ge…

Muskaan: (shyly shakes her head) Rahul tum…

Rahul: Aik minute….(he looks around the room, then walks to Muski's closet, opens it and finds a red chunri, he takes it then hurries back to a confused Muskaan)

Muskaan: Rahul kya…

Rahul: shhhsh…tum na bahut bolti ho…(he puts the chunri over her head like a dulhan, then takes a seat next to her on the stool she was sitting on, they are close enough so that their head nudges and the perfect reflection is restored in the mirror) voh dekho, tumhay nahi lagta kay yeh dulhan meray liye perfect hain….

Muskaan: (looks up in the mirror and softly talks to Rahul) Perfect toh nahi pata lakin itna zaroor keh sakti hoon kay ajj se jo kuch bhi yeh hain sirf tumharay ehsaas se hain, tum se hain…aur aggar tum ne iss saath ko kabhi bhi chora toh yeh bahut akeli hojaye ge…bahut tanha…

Rahul: (Smiles as he hugs her while looking deep in to muski's moist eyes in the mirror) toh phir ajj se yeh mera vaada raha kay main Rahul Garewal, apni honay waali bewi ko kabhi bhi akela nahi choro ga, kabhi bhi nahi….

Muski: (smiles shyly as she looks in the reflection which depicted her as Rahul's bride, they both share a long eyelock as he sat with his arms wrapped protectively around the love of his life.)

Ridzi: (calling out from the kitchen) Muskaan!...Prateek!...Rahul…! food's here…

Rahul: (gets back to planet earth but Muski's eyes remain locked at their reflection) ahem…Musk..Muskaan…?

Muskaan: (coming out the trance, she is a bit startled) huh?...

Rahul: Sorry to break the moment…per shayad Riddhima kahnay kay liye bula rahi hain…

Muskaan: (feels embarrassed as she was so lost in him that she lost track of her surroundings, she stands up quickly putting away the lal chunri and grabbing her soft white duppatta from her bed) haan…voh…main…ummm…main…

Rahul: Arey kya hogaya? (holding back his laughter at her confusion)

Muskaan: Rahul tum chalo main aii…umm I mean pehlay tum room se bahir jao…

Rahul: Kyun hum saath saath nahi ja saktey?

Muskaan: Rahul voh ridzi…bahir…I mean…voh…

Rahul: (walks towards her and smiles as he turns her around and makes her face him) Jub zindagi bhar saath saath rehna ka faisla kar liya ho toh inn chootay chootay faisloon se itna darr kyun lag raha hain Muskaan?

Muskaan: Kyunki ajj se pehlay kabhi itna bara faisla khud se nahi liya, itni bari khushi mehsoos nahi ki…

Rahul: Tu phir iss khushi ko apnay se durr nahi karo…please…(he holds up his hand in front of her, wanting her to hold it so they can go out the room together)

Muskaan: (looks at his hand then in his honest eyes that professed his true love for her)

Rahul: Meray saath chalo ge nahi Muskaan?

Muskaan: (smiles and puts her hand on his, he grips it tightly as their finger entwined with one another.) chalo…

~Rahul and Muskaan both walk out the room hand in hand, stealing glances every now and then, the distance from Muski's bedroom to the kitchen seemed way to short as neither of them wanted it to end . As they neared the dinning area where Ridzi and Prateek were already helping themselves to delicious Chineese food, Rahul gently lets go of her hand as he knew that she wanted to join in with Prateek and Ridzi. Muski takes a seat next to Prateek and Rahul sits next to Muskaan smiling to himself remembering the moments he spent with Muski.~

Ridzi: (eating her favorite chow mein) Kya baat hain Rahul ajj bahut khush lag rahay ho? Kuch khass….(she said glancing over at Muski who gave her a killer glare)

Rahul: Haan khush toh main ho…akhir itni achi sister in law jo mujhay milnay waali hain…

Ridzi: bus busabb itni buttering achi nahi hain jeeju…

Prateek: Mausi yeh Rahul se "jeeju" kaisay hua…

Ridzi: Abb main kya karo prateek appkay Rahul…I mean Dad ko meri best friend meaning app ki Mom itni pasand agaye kay Rahul se Jeeju toh hona he tha…(everyone laughs and Prateek just looks confused as everyone proceed to help themselves to the delicious food)

Muski: Baby araam se kahao please…dekho sub gir raha (Muski said picking up after Prateek)

Prateek: Mom mujhay chopsticks se kaha na hain…. Sub ko aata hain per mujhay nahi aata…(he makes a sad face giving up on the chopsticks)

Muski: Prateek spoon se kahlo chopsticks phir kabhi sahi…

Rahul: no ways…phir kabhi kyun Prateek ko chopsticks ka tutorial main dey deta hoon…(he gets up and goes towards Prateek as Muski shakes her head and smiles knowing it's no sue argueing)

Prateek: Yay! Abb Prateek bhi sub kay saath chopsticks use karay ga…

Rahul: Ofcourse champ! Yeh dekho isko aise pakro…yeah just about like this…(he showed prateek how to wrap the chopsticks around his tiny fingers)

Prateek: Okay…aisey theek hain…

Rahul: umm…not quite…app index finger bhi use karo…dekho aisey…

Prateek: haan per Prateek both hands ko kaisey chopsticks kay saath wrap karay…(he asked cutely in third person style)

Muski: Kya Prateek mom se kuch help lay ga?

Rahul: (Smiled) Welll….

Muski: Dad se nahi poocha maine Prateek se poocha hain…(she said looking away from Rahul jokingly)

Prateek: theek hain per Prateek Dad aur Mom dono ki help lega…actually two hands, one Prateek, but one mom and one dad…perfect hain na help karnay kay liye…

Ridzi: Yeah…mera nephew toh bilqual mujh per gaya hain…so smart!

Muski: acha acha bus abb dekhna main Prateek ko kaisey chopsticks use karana sikha ti hoon…(she came and knelt on Prateek's right side as Rahul was on the left)

Rahul: Okay mom app Prateek ka right hand set karay main left karta hoon…

Prateek: okay mom my righty is all yours…(he said as muski helped him hold the chopsticks while rahul still struggled a bit but was getting there)

Muski: Okay there you go got it...

Rahul: me too almost… (Prateek and Rahul were both intently working on holding the chopstick)

Muski: Uff! Tum dono bhi na, aisey toh centuries lag jaye ge. (she gets up and goes to Rahul's side and bends to Prateek's level, close to rahul once again. As she straigtened Prateek's hand she didn't realize that her hand was on Rahul and they were both holding on to Prateek's. She continued to tell Prateek how to as Rahul just lost himself at moment her delicate hand touched his. He was simply adoring her instructing Prateek.)

Prateek: Yay agaya! (Prateek exclaimed as Rahul and Muski both move their hands and watched Prateek take his first bite with chopsticks)

Ridzi: Mission Accomplished! Congrats best friend and best friend's husband to be!

Muski: (smiles then gets up to sit in her seat) Thanks Ridzi…as you can see mom's can do a better job at about almost everything…(she said glancing at Rahul who was settling himself in his chair)

Rahul: Haan toh maine yeh kub kaha tha kay Dad's are perfect…

Muski: Prateek ka itna favor kartey ho, ussay toh kaha tha so that means tumnay bhi yahi soocha tha. (She said eating the orange chicken with fried rice)

Rahul: (without countering her agreement, he slyly reached for her hand under the table and holds it. Without any expression he continues to eat as Muski stops and looks at him) what?

Muski: (mouths to leave her hand)

Rahul: (prentending to be oblivious) Muskaan, Kahna kahao na…aur please mujhay voh pitcher pass kardo…

Muski: (looks at the pitcher which was on her right side, but Rahul was holding her right hand, she didn't know how to get the pitcher)

Ridzi: Muski pass kardo na Pictcher…(Ridzi said noticing Muski's confusion)

Muski: haan..haan…voh main…

Rahul: Muskaan seriously I am thristy…(Rahul was in the mood to tease her and so he persisted)

Muski: (glares at him, then with her left hand managesto pass the heavy pitcher in his direction)

Rahul: Thank you…! (smiles and grips her hand tighter)

Muski: yeah…no problem… (she looked nervous and continues to finsh her food without letting anyone notice what was going on, Rahul smiled looking at her and even though she seemed angry deep inside she felt nice holding on to his hand and the grip that assured her of his presence. They were blushing but only they knew that they were.)

Precap: Muski and Rahul putting Prateek to bed and then….
