thank you everyone for standing by me...The story does come to an end.I am very sick so please dont kill me if you dont get pms for a while but I do try to update.....

"Arjun tumhari behn kitna soothe hai,aur who bhi darwaza band ker ke"Maan said getting restless.

"Are Maan,who thak gayi hai,wasie you know mere pass eik rasta hai uska room kholne ka.If you want I will help" Arjun said looking at his soon to be brother in law.

"You have the key to her room? Why don't I have a key?"Maan said feeling lonely.

"I'm her brother Maan.She did not want to seem forward and give you a key.She loves you a lot Maan,promise me you will take care of her?"Arjun said glancing at Maan.

"Ok please help me.I promise Aaj se who sirf mere zimedari hai,tum chinta na karo"He said giving Arjun a quick hug.Before Arjun ran to his room and found the key.

"Thank you,I was hoping we can all go out for breakefest..So tell everyone to be ready by 11"Maan said before opening Geet's door

As he entered he saw two of his favourite,snuggled tightly with each other.Geet's hand was on priya's waist posseively and Priya was hiding herself in to Geet's chest.Smiling Maan saw the sun shining upon her face,but it was bugging her.Walking to the window he closed the curtains and tied them together. Looking around, he felt comfortable, everything about this room shouted out Geet.The jewellery from the previous night lay on her dresser, with a few of the gifts many people had given her. He saw her clothes neatly folded along with his daughter's. He pulled a chair towards her bed and sat down by his angels. Priya had gotten out of Geet's embrace and was now sleeping on her stomach. Geet had turned around facing Maan,her hand had unconsciously found its way to his. He planted a sweet kiss on her hand making her blush even in her sleep.He moved closer and placed a kiss on her cheek.

"Geet sweatheart get up."He said lovingly.

"Hhmmm Arjun sone do na."She said lazily

Pagli,its Maan.Chalo utho"He said shaking her slightly.

"Maan tum itne jaldi mujhe kyon utha rahe ho."She said rubbing the sleep away from her eyes.

"It's 8am,I want to spend some time with you na."He said watching her tie her hair in to a messy bun.

"Shhh aram se,priya soo rahi hai.She is tired.Alright,I will go shower and make some coffee for you."She said getting up only to have Maan capture her hands.

"Hmm that sounds amazing but I want something before that"Maan said pulling her in his lap.

"What's that?"she said feeling shy.

"A kissy"Maan said making a baby face.

"Maan Priya uth gayi toh?"

"I want one quickly"He said,Geet looked at a sleeping Priya before inching closer to him and planting a chaste kiss on his lips.

"Happy? Now I am going to shower and in the meantime spend some time with your daughter."She said as if it was the most natural thing

Maan nodded his head, and lay down by priya and snuggled with her. He loved her so much, and thanked Geet for making his life complete.He picked up her tiny body and held her in his arms.Slowly he saw his angel stir and wake up.Looking up at Maan,priya quickly jumped to hug him.She loved it when her papa held her.Maan gave her a possessive kiss before tickling her.For the next hour Maan and priya wrestled each other in the bed.Maan trying to tickle her but priya was hiding under the blankets making the bed a total mess.

"What on earth are you two doing?"Geet said coming out fully dressed.She crossed arms and rested her body on the dorr frame.

"Papa was tickling me mama!"Priya said running behind her mother.Making Geet smile and pat her head.

"Meri beti ko kyon tang ker rahe the!Abhi bata thi hoon,chalo Priya let's get revenge."Geet said before running to Maan and tickling him.

"Ok ok truce!Stop!!I wont mess with Priya ever again"Maan said runing out of breathe

"Promise?"Priya said as she stopped tickling him.

"Pinky promise!"Maan said before Geet told them to come downstairs.

"Goodmorning everyone.Why is everyone rushing in and out.Arjun it's good to see you decent attire at this time.Considering its only 10:30.Wow Mayank high five yaar you up and looking sohandsome.Am I missing something"She said looking at everyone.

"If you slow down and let the rest of us talk bhabz we can tell you that Maan is taking us out to a new breakfast place.His treat.."Geet turned to look at Priya and Maan who were smiling at her.

"Papa you're the bestttttt!"Priya said hugging him.

"Ok ok chalo sab.All the girls in one car and all of the loser guys in the other."Everyone ran out the door to choose the best car.

After breakfast,everyone had decided to go for a walk.Geet was happy,not because she was going for a walk but because Maan was making an effort.He was making an effort to Make everyone happy.This made her give him a peck on the cheek.She loved this Man for who was and for who he wanted to be.Today Maan had showen a drastic change as a human being.Someone who only opened up to Geet was allowing new people in his life.She admired her fiance as he chased Arjun,Mayank,Dev and Vicky around the park.She stoped for a moment feeling the intensity of the moment. The moment that was filled with nothing but love,she did not seem to miss the envious looks people were giving their family.Everything really was perfect.Maan was a man who accepted her, mended her and loved her.His family had welcomed her so nicely that her heart would always have a spot for them.

These moments she would always cherish in her heart, although she missed her parents. She felt satisfied to have what she did. Her love for Maan grew to such an extent that even death could not harm their love.She was forever in debt with this Maan.

Maan slowly made his way back, taking his daughter in his hands and spinning her in the air.Dadi who had been silently observing the scene, silently thanked baghwan for sending an angel like Geet.

"So that is how papa changed you as a person?"A 18 year old Priya asked.

"Yes that year we ended up getting married and just a few years later we had two twins.We couldn't be happier.You were 7 when we had Arman and Rahul.Priya the moral of the story is if Abhay loves you he won't run away from your truth.Yes you were adopted but that does not mean you're an orphan.A mother is not necessarily the one that gives birth to you.A mother is someone who stands by you every step of the way.He will not be angry,but if you love him tell him that. Don't wait for your whole life.I am your mother and the last thing I want is a hurt daughter, and I definitely do not want the maan standing by the door listening to our conversation to murder someone"Geet says looking at Maan who had tears in his eyes.

"Papa,aap ?"She said feeling scared that her father knew she liked someone

"Jee beta main,aur apke shaitan bhai."He said pulling the two brothers from behind him.

"They want to say something to you."Maan said as he looked at thetwins.

"Sorry Dii,you truly are the happiness of this house.I was wrong saying you were not our real sister."Armaan said feeling bad for saying something so mean to her,when all she was doing was trying to help him out.

"mee too Dii,I love you.If you were not there me and Armaan would be lonely."Rahul said before all three siblings gave each other a hug.

"And if Abhay does not love you,then he is a jerk"Armaan said as Rahul agreed.

Maan came and sat beside Geet,holding her in his arms. She had done everything to make this family so perfect and finally it was.After Dadi's death Maan had completely felt hopeless,being depressed and lost.Then Geet had announced her pregnancy,it was the one thing they all needed to be happy.She had filled the hose with so many happiness.The children had proven to be a blessing as the very next year Arjun had finally announced his marriage to a girl name Arohi.His wedding was a scandalous event, but that was when Dev had met Neha a lawyer from Canada who happened to be a widow.Dev had filled her life with happiness and the coming year they had seen the wedding of Dev,and Vicky that devil had come forward with a girl name Prachi.He was apparently dating her since Maan and Geet's wedding.Mayank had gone back to Kolkata with his sister, where they met Nupur and Jay.Their family had grown,each one of them having a kid,except Vicky and Prachi who had triplets.Poor guy was teased so much,but everyone was happy.Everything had fallen in place .Everyone was so happy,and it was all because of the entry of two people.Arjun and Geet.

''Kahan koya hua hai mera dilbar'' Geet said trying to make him annoyed as he never liked the name.

''Bus sooch raha tha how lucky I am. "

''Geet who kon sa gana tha jo tum gati thi?''Maan said breaking away

"Actually I know.."With that Maan went to put on a CD,slowly the familiar song filled the room.

Sajde kiye hain lakhon, lakhon duayein maangi, paya hai maine phir tujhe...
Chahat ki teri maine, haqq mein hawayein maangi, paya hai maine phir tujhe...

"May I have this Dance Mrs Khurana?"aan said bending down on one foot and extending his hand for her to take.

Tujhse hi dil yeh behla, tu jaise kalma pehla,
Chahun na phir kyun main tujhe...

He pulled her closer as she took his hand,one of them resting on her petite waist while the other one held hers tightly. He spun her around waltzing around the room, before pulling her back in to his embrace and hugging her.

Jis pal na chaha tujhko, uss pal sazayein maangi, paya hai maine phir tujhe...
ooho Sajde kiye hain lakhon, lakhon duayein maangi, paya hai maine phir tujhe...

"Thank you for giving me the most beautiful and magical 13 years sweety.You would think I would grow out of love, but hun you just make me fall in love with you over and over again."Geets eyes welled up with tears she was speechless.

Jaane tu sara woh, dil mein jo mere ho, padh le tu aankhein har dafa...
Hoo jaane tu sara woh, dil mein jo mere ho, padh le tu aankhein har dafa...
Nakhre se na ji bhi, hote hain raazi bhii, tujhse hi hote hain khafa...

"Shhhhh,you don't have to say anything back.Your eyes are doing the part to reflect the love you have for me."

Jaane tu baatein saari, katati hain raatein saari, jalte diye si or bujhe...
Uth uth ke raaton ko bhi, teri wafayein maangi, paya hai maine phir tujhe...
ooho Sajde kiye hain lakhon, lakhon duayein maangi, paya hai maine phir tujhe..

"I love you so much Maan"She said as the sway to the music.

"Btw,tell Priya she is not going to have a boyfriend."Maan said feeling possessive of his daughter.

"Maan,Abhay is a great guy.Stop it you old man.She is not ours for ever you know?"

"Oh no no no,she is not getting married until she is 30!No she is not allowed to date until she is 35."Geet smirked at his panicked face as it dawned upon him that priya was indeed almost 20.

"Maan stop being a baby,your little son has his eyes on a girl." Geet said as she remembered Arman saying how much he liked Riddhma.

'Ji papa'' Both the kids said

"What,per dad I promised riddhma I would marry her when I am 21!"Geet and Priya suppressed their laughter

"Their your blood too,especially Arman Singh Khurana.He is definitely learning from you!So don't blame me "

"here they go again!"Both the children said before tip toeing out of the room and up to their bedroom

Me: Starting over is one of the hardest things to do,but with the support of your family and friends it becomes easier. Yes,Priya and Abhay did finally confess their love.Arman and Rahul were sent off to boarding school because of Maan's insecurity.Today Maan and Geet are grandparents to a two year old muskaan.Who looks just like Priya.
