Tammy..saint Nicholas in the north pole.

Anmol.putting her hair behind her ear continued...ok ..what happened next is saint Nicholas saved clement and his father asked Nicholas if he has a wish .it will be granted for saving an elf..nicholas told his wife may be we are in heaven but another elf said no you are in north pole.. clement father asked him so wat's your fondest wish..saint Nicholas replied my wish is to deliver new toys to every child in the world on Christmas 'clement father said you don't you have another wish for yourself.like a castle in the sky'.nicholas wife said no his dream is to make the world children happy on Christmas day with a toy..all the elfs were in thought as how this can be possible as their magic work only at night and its so cold here..how will they work?nicholas was really sad to worry the elfs with his wish of giving a toy to every child In the world..his wife said listen to me nicholas.you are a noble man with a good dream..don't lose hope .suddenly Nicholas went running to the elfs ..he suggested we need a workshop and wood.. the kids said fine mr claus we will help you and later the adult amazed by their children doing such great job accepted to help also'

Tammy.observing every detail he said...papa but why the parents were amazed by their children doing work..

Looking at her he answered ..Remember they had magic and never had to work in their life..like doing manual work as everything was magic in the north pole..

Yarning a bit she asked..ok.then what happened?..clement father was not at all happy with all the elfs helping mr.claus..the elfs did their job and in no time finished the workshop..they started making the toys inside..dolls..lots of wooden toys'this is how so many months passed by SmilingTammy asked the toys were ready to deliver by santa'

Nodding his head he continued pressing his lips..no not yet as there was a big problem as to how to deliver all these toys around the world in 12hrs..all were in deep thoughts when clement said..may be by flying.. they managed to finish their work till the 23^rd dec..the elfs kids gifted Nicholas a red robe'tammy..oh yes like santa claus wears everytime..anmol..yes my sweetheart..same..24^th dec he is all ready in his red robe and said ho ho ho.its time to deliver the toys and make every child happy on Christmas..

Tammy inquisitively she asked'.how santa claus flew to deliver the toys?..

Pulling her closer he contiued..clement father he finally accepted to use his magic ..the sleigh was of wood and with his magic turned it in a red and golden one with it attached the reindeers..

The inquisitiveness was growing on her ..how many reindeers was there papa?..Tracing her fingers he said ..8 reindeers' Widening her eyes she asked.. were they magical also?..Anmol..yes clement father did it with his magic and they flew in the sky with Nicholas and all the toys..he was very happy his fondest wish was going to become true..there was a problem..A little saddened she asked..what papa?..
Thoughtfully he asked ..how will he enter the house with all doors and windows closed?..

Sitting up again she asked..then what he did to enter the house?..

Whispering in her ears he said'..the chimney'that's how santa claus came by the chimney and delivered each child its gift for Christmas and promised to do it forever and ever...

Tammy kissed him on his cheek ..thank you so much papa for telling me this Christmas story'He kissed her back on her forehead ..anything for you my princess'

All this time Ragini watching them with a smile from the door..anmol.holding her close once again .its time for my baby to sleep ..goodnight princess..

As he was about to go when tammy held his hand..he asked..what is it my baby?..tammy..papa how I wish santa claus comes and gives me a Christmas gift in his red robe.a big castle with lights everywhere and I'm the little princess waiting for santa claus to come..saying so she closed her eyes and In no time fell asleep..

The story was so beautiful, Tammy snuggled into her cozy bed and lost in her wonderland of the sleigh and her papa showing her the land of gifts Santa Clause was making in his workshop.. As the night went by she travelled to see a beautiful winter wonderland.. her thoughts were filled with this experience and all she could visualize is an amazing adventure'.sweet dreams dear'

Anmol so lovingly looked at her and said softly near her ear your wish will be granted my princess..your papa loves you a lot and will fulfill your wish..he switched off the light and met with ragini at the door..

Back in their room, He wrapped her around her arms and rested his chin on her shoulder said..our daughter has a wish and I will fulfill it for her ragini..gently touching her face as they looked through the mirror,I love you both so much 'you both has filled the void in my life..i will do anything for my family..my ragini and my little princess daughter..turning around she hugged him tightly and said..we love you same anmol and so much love you have showered on us..we are really lucky to have you in our life and she looked up at him ..you are truly anmol for me and tammy..He smiled at her and brushed a soft kiss on her cheek..Thank you so much my love..one thing for this I will need your help and relate to her his plan..Looking at him with satisfaction..she will be very surprised and very happy..

Tracing her face with his index finger and lifting her chin he told her that he wanted that exactly, she meant the world to him and the smile was satisfaction, and happiness .Ragini's expression changed. hey kya hua'why this sad face? He asked worriedly..

Moving a little away she said'you will leave tomorrow and since our wedding we have not stay away from each other..Pulling her back..i know my love but we are doing it for our daughter..only two days..i will call you everyday and night..aur waise you are going along with me as you stay in my heart 'a smile came back on her face.

.Thats what he wanted to see and paused to say my beautiful ragini and I love you more smiling 'he kissed her so gently on her lips and whispered close to her ears..i love you ..she whispered back..I love you too..,

They walked to the bed and laid down nice and cozy snuggled with each other and the warmth of the fireplace engulfed the room gradually as they slept.

Three days later .Massoorie

Tammy restless and excited'mama can I open my eyes now?..Ragini still testing her patience..When I finish counting to 3 you open your eyes..one.two and three..She opened her eyes and could not believe what she was seeing excited..oh mama this is beautiful..wow...They were there Sareen Mansion, which was beautifully decorated with lights everywhere with lots of Christmas decorations..

Placing her shall properly, Ragini said,'its cold come lets go inside..The little girl was so thrilled .. yes chalo mama and ran inside the house and completely amazed by the big Christmas tree with gifts boxes under it..

She looked around in concern ,with a sad face ..How I wish papa was here..he promised me ,he will come on Christmas..just the when she heard 'ho ho ho..why this little princess unhappy?..santa claus is here to fulfill her wish ..Looking up the stairs the twinkle was back in her eyes and Tammy excitedly shouted ..Santa claus..mama look santa claus has come to give me my gifts..your wish is granted little princess'she.shrieked loudly papa..its you papa as santa claus'she hugged him..

This year ended with Tammy all excited with her gifts and Anmol and Ragini planning to grace the new year and a new Christmas with a wish to be still fulfilled, until then'

------------------------------------A year later and week before Christmas----------------------

A portion of it was already written earlier, enhancing for this OS

And its late night and Anmol a wonderful husband who a wife would always wish, indeed in the years of marriage Ragini grew to understand him but after renewing their marriage wows again, the atmosphere changed with growing love and passion and more so for Tammana for whom Anmol had all the time which was the ritual of putting her to sleep as his princess wanted her dad for the night to wonderland...

He goes to her room and reads a book to Tammy The princess and the frog (a walt Disney Production Book) and then falls asleep there, as he is so tired after a long day and Tammy's bed seems too cozy for him to go back after putting her to sleep..

The year brought in another precious gift to this loving family, a little bundle of joy which Tammana wished in her wish list for many occasions which included one to Santa also, He was born just 3 months back, Arnav Rajvansh, yes a baby boy , who was just giggling away instead of sleeping, did Ragini's efforts go in vain as we peep in to see..

In their bedroom (Anmol and Ragini) Ragini is busy making the little one, sleep and after a while he dozes off and Ragini also exhausted with the daily routine and putting her baby boy finally to sleep who shared the warmth of his mother.

Its about 2 in the early morning rubbing his eyes, Anmol gets up to be surprised he slept with Tammy , he kisses her forehead and says "Mera Bachha love you princess" and leaves the room closing the door,

Heading towards their room he slowly opens the door trying to minimize the noise and walks in , the moon light from the window and the bed light is enough for him to move around the room, he suddenly sees Arnav with those button eyes wide awake and playing with himself much what a 3 month old does wonder where they get all this energy even at late night, Anmol goes around the bed to see the little chap enjoying holding his legs and swinging it around , He also observes his beautiful wife Ragini sleeping peacefully , without disturbing her he slowly picks him up, and holds him against his chest and pats him, the baby is enjoying his cuddly feeling and he giggles a little. Noticing the change in the silence of the room Anmol moves away from the bed so that he doesn't disturb Ragini and sits on the rocking chair and carefully holds the baby's head and facing the infant he starts talking to him in a low voice"
Beta tumhari mama Soo rahi hai Aur mai bhi abhi tumari di di ko solake gehari need say utkay ayya hoo!" " yaar abhi tum bhi raat kay duo baje khelney mat shuru kar dena soo jaoo!, telling him to doze of as he has a long day himself and his mama and sister are fast asleep.

Arnav looks at Anmol tracing his face as things closer to his vision seems more interesting and gives a smile as if he understood everything with a drop of his saliva pouring out from the corner of his mouth ..
Anmol reaches for a wash cloth kept next to the chair and wipes the corner of his mouth and kisses his forehead and lifts him and starts patting him to put him to sleep...

As the baby sleeps clinging on to Anmol, without a movement he reached for a blanket kept on the side table next to the rocking chair and covering himself ,the night goes by Anmol sleeps of with the baby tucked in well on himself..

The early morning (5 am) chirping birds wake up Ragini and she opens her eyes and moves her hand around to be shocked to feel the baby missing beside her. She sits up with a startled and notices Anmol on the rocking chair bundled up cozily with the babies head popping out .

A sign of relief,a smile and tear of joy runs thro her face. She gets of the bed and walks up to him and slowly pulls of the blanket covering Anmol and the little one and picks up the baby who is in such deep sleep and places him gently on the bed.

Ragini pats the baby a little so that he could continue his sleep well and while doing that she realizes that she forgot to cover Anmol with the blanket .

Ragini wraps baby with the blanket and makes him nicely and cozy and then goes towards Anmol , cover him up to keep him warm and is about to walk away when a strong hand grips her and she turns around to see him smiling at her and telling her, " Sweetheart kaha Ja rahi hai aap , Itna tho kaam karthey Rahithi hai Zarra merey paas kaho, you need rest and only wrapped in my arms, missing those days",

Ragini smiles back asking " Anmol aap bhi na bacchey ban jathey ho !, mainay socha aap soo rahey ho aur baby ko sulakar apko bhi suladethi hoon , just a kid like Arnav I have to mommy you also'"

Never leaving her beautiful face he said" aa suladethi hoon ???!! sure why not u can sing loori to me also " ragini nodding her head " nahi mera matlab tha blanket chadadethi hoon, Anmol you are too much, I meant the blanket "
" Ragini aoo na mera paas, I miss our days since a while" and he makes her sit on his lap

"Mujehy pata hai tum bhi taak jathi ho pura din kaam karkey , aur aab duo bachony ko sambhalna hai , You are a Super Mom" and as she places her head on his chest and says " Aap hona muhey sambhal nay kay liye , Yeah Super Mom and you super dad Na who kya Kaha tha Super Human !!"they have a laugh slow one and he kisses her forehead and both close their eyes and fall asleep...

Its nearing dusk and this family looks so beautiful as we see Tammy sleeping in her room still, Arnav sleeping on the bed all bundled up and here Angini sleeping cuddled with each other !!
Perfect family !!!

Well finally we got out Tammy's wish come true and the child's wish came along a lot of happiness for Anmol and Ragini. More in store and we notice how parenthood has brought changes in their lives but their love for each other blossoms even more and they now feel the presence of each other in a better emotional and sensitive level.

Next morning(Khushi and Tammy were inseparable even with Arnav around and Khushi was always close to her Partner Anmol)

Ragini got busy with the morning chores and jr was busy playing in his playpen in the living room.

The kids were running around with their dolls and the whole day seemed full of life.

Anmol still asleep "papa utteyena na, ha partner " and Tammy Khushi come and wake up a nice and cozy Anmol.

"Tammy Khushi tum donno itney jaldi utt gaye ?" "Papa subha kay 9 bhajey hai aap itneer deer tak "

"Tammy Khushi Chalo breakfast kar loo" came a call from outside

"Arrey 9 baj gaye pata nahi chala "Anmol starts stretching himself as Khushi goes out and Tammy tells him "papa aaj meray party kay liye aap dress choose karna ",

"Alright my princess jaoo nahi tho mama will get angry " and she kisses him and leaves.

After a while as Anmol got refreshed, Ragini walks in and he is brushing his hair at the dresser and Ragini draws out the remaining curtains to allow enough light to step in..

"So badi tareef ho rahi hi meri ,"smiled Ragini as she started to set the bed right,"Areey meri biwi tareef kay kabil hai siliye" he pulled her towards him and held her waist .

"Yes I know I heard what Tammana said aur aap 9 bhajey tak sleeping, and I will get angry!!" she said as she touched his cheeks.

"Ragini subah subah itney fresh ho ki breakfast ki zaroorat nahi hai "smelling her hair which was giving him all the mood to flirt around with her and keep her close..

"Anmol apkona maar padegi saachi " turning around she pulled his ears

"Ouch, Ragini arrey mai mazzak kar raha tha, sweetheart indeed you are smelling beautiful and you know that ", he winked as she kept smiling at his talks.

Walking towards the dressing to brush her hair, she spotted an invitation envolope decorated with poinsettas on the side and written to Mr, and Mrs. Anmol Rajvansh.

"Yeah kya hai Anmol ", looking at him and turns it over, she opened it and pulled out a beautiful card in red and green front and rear color coded.

Reading it aloud" We cordially invite you to a Christmas Celebration at the D'souza Residence on 24^th December with family."

As she continued reading the final sentence Dress Code" Formals Men in Suits and Ladies in gowns."

He walked upto her as she ended the last line

Please RSVP by 20^th December

"Actually Ragini Mainey RSVP kar diya " Anmol said slowly looking at her face which was quite a big no she continued " Bina Mujsay poochey?? Never asked me ", he gave his usual smile " For the kids I said yes and as for you I know you won't say no right sweetheart", Her No continued , not for attending the party , but for wearing a gown and going as she has never worn one and that was last in her list of her wardrobe needs and she adorned sarees.. The D'souza's were Anmol's friends from college Peter and Vandana who has a son Rikin whom they met at Tammana's school, indeed the world was so small and cherished some great times occasionally during Ragini's second pregnancy and gave her a surprise baby shower before Arnav was born.

Coming back to Ragini's reaction, "Anmol apko pata hai na I will not be comfortable in gowns and all".. Taking the card from her he kept it on the table ," Ragini now listen to me , you are so beautiful , and sometimes we should try a change of dressing, I know you have never worn a gown , let this time be the first time and I am sure my love will love beautiful" he kissed her nape passionately as she pushed him away and went to set the things on the dresser, but a strong grab pulled her back turning her around he shut her mouth with his palm without giving her a chance to speak he said" 2 pm I have asked Gunni to drop you off at the Mall we are shopping for a gown ,kids are at a party and Arnav will be asleep and Guddi will take care of him . Aab Bilkul Chup"

"Hmm Hmm ", in no position to speak she nodded her head and the face was evident of her surrender to her handsome husband's command.

Releasing his hand from her mouth he kissed her forehead and said " I love you for listening to me " , before she could utter a word she saw him walking out screaming" Mai bachon kay saat breakfast kar raha hoo, Aren't you hungry Ragini ", taking the flight of stairs down 'She walked to the door resting her folded hands against the door she smiled saying, "Baap Rey yeah tho Bachey ban gaye hai Ziddi No1"

After finishing their breakfast Anmol had to leave for an important meeting , but before leaving he stepped into Tammy's room as promised

Organising some documents he is interrupted by Tammy with two of her dresses. "papa in donnomai say mai kausa phenoo Birthday party kay liye , which do you think looks good?"

"Hmm let me see my princess looks great in any dress meray khyalsay yeah wali achhi hai",

He picks the blue with white polka dots. "Ok papa mai jaldi say tiyaar hokar athi hoon, wait here only" and she runs to change while he finishes his work and goes down.
All dressed both Tammy and Khushi come and start chatting with Anmol who finishes his work and keenly listens to what they got for their friend.

"Chalo my princess I will drop you off and go finish my meetings, " He picks up his folder and they kiss Ragini " Have fun girls " bye mama !! masi " and Anmol shows "two" with his fingers to Ragini who nods her head smiling and she waves them bye at the door.

Around 1 :30 the kids had gone for their engagements , Arnav had just had his feed and was getting ready for his long afternoon nap. Ragini put him to sleep and took the baby monitor and gave it to Guddi " Dhyaan Rakna , Mai dou Ghante mai Anmol kay saat wapas aoongi.., if he gets up give him the milk in the warmer."

"Jee Bhbhi do't worry I will take care" she assured as Ragini picked her bag and walked out with Gunni

At the mall

As the car haulted @ the mall, Ragini gets down and turns to Gunni,

"Bye Chachi have a nice time I am sure Chachu is going to get you the best dress in town " she pointed behind her as Anmol was waiting after he gave the car keys for a valet parking.

"Bye Gunni tub hi na " and waves as she takes the flight of stairs and Anmol draws his hand to take in hers.

As they waked into the store.. Gowns for Occasion by Rita Bhushri

"Good afternoon sir/madam" , a slaeswomen greeted

"Excuse me I need your help, Meri wife kay liye kuch acchey evening Gowns dekhahiye " he said

"Anmol apko nahi lagtha ki mai yeah saab nahi kar paoongi " Ragini a littke reluctant

"Ragini try karney mai kya hai, I told you na you should try different styles, "

"Madam here are a few evening gowns, Apko low neck chahiye ya boat neck style with crinkled sideline ya off shoulder with long slit"

"Na baba na Anmol yeah saab mai nahi phenay wali ", she stepped back

"Ragini achha mai choose kartha hoon " he took the initiative

"Please yeah copper wala dekhayeye with the boat neck and crinkled sideline." The lady removed the similar one put for the mannequin and gave it to Anmol

"Madam this will defiantly suit you, isay try kijiye" and the associate takes Ragini to the changing room.

As Anmol waits outside looking at his phone and sending an email reply which just poped up,

As an elegant lady walks out of the dressing room a stunned Anmol keeps looking at her his eyes tracing from bottom to top. "My my Ragini you look stunning " he thought to himself as he went close to her and made her turn around to look at the mirror. And placing his chin on her shoulder he softly whispered in her ears

" Ragini yeah gown ,like its just made for you , us mannequin say zyaada its for you, the way it sits on you is just so beautiful."

"Nahi Anmol muhey bahut Sharam aa rahini hai, I am feeling embarrassed " and she covers her face

Removing her hand "Ragini sach mai tum khud dek lo, yeah dress tumpay itna elegant aur beautiful dekh raha hai its tailor made for you believe me."

"Madam Bahut sunder hai " came the sales associate ,to which Anmol stepped back.

"Please issay pack kar dijiye " Anmol confirmed and she takes Ragini back to the changing room.

After paying Anmol and Ragini, as they walk down the aile of stores Ragini stops at a toy store "Anmol Ek minute I promised Tammana I will pick up something for Rikin for Christmas," she had'nt told Tammana about the party thought of surprising her ", Anmol who just got a call " Ha Ragini go ahead, I will just talk to Mr. Basin ek fax aya tha ", she nodded and went in.

As she walked out she did'nt trace Anmol " Yeah Kaha Gayee, He said he will wait here only", and she was about to call him when he appeared with the bags they had purchased.

"Where did u go?" she asked seeing the bag . He explained that the network was giving problems so he went to the phone charging area to finish up his calls

"Chalo lets go" and he held her by her waist and they walked out where the valet parked cars were brought in.

Stepping in the car they drove back home.

Following Day December 23^rd a day before Christmas Eve, Tammana had insisted a beautiful Christmas tree brought in, Anmol in one of his trips to US has brought a Christmas tree which could be dismantled, They spent the day decorating and putting some ornaments and stocking stuffing with candy cane and chocolates, Khushi and Tammana were busy doing it while Arnav watched them through the playpen and sometimes held by Gunni.

[Next Morning]

Arnav had woken up pretty early and was crying for his daily meal at 5 am. Ragini slipped out of bed and quickly nursed him. He seemed to be still sleepy after the feed and within a few minutes he dozed of again for his early morning nap.

Ragini who was all cuddled up next to Anmol and felt his warmth wanted to get it back for a little while longer so she snuggled back.
Tucking herself back under the blanket she drew close to her handsome husband and closed her eyes to take her back to her sleep.

After a while The sun had risen above the bed of trees to peep through into their room across a half opened window. The rays of the sun fell its warmth on Anmol who was in deep sleep , feeling this warmth he slowly blinked his eyes and opened them. A weight rested on his chest and as he looked down Ragini was still holding on to him, after the small conversation they had last night , her warmth was enduring for him.

Her silky soft hair covered her face which prevented the sun light on her dusky face to disturbed her. Anmol noticed the curls of her hair was so smooth and silky that the soft breeze following the sun's warmth started to tickle her face.

He moved those curls to clear his vision, and she slowly opened her eyes and said "Good Morning",

"Mai Pheley bhi utti thi Arnav nay utta diya lekin he went back to sleep and I fell asleep again next to you."

"Issliye sochu ki koi bahut deer tak so Raha hai ", and he kisses her forehead and pats her cheeks.

The door opens slowly ,and a young girl walks in with her hands folded back followed by a companion.

"Arrey Tammy Khushi thum dono yaha itnee jaldi " comes a chorus from Anmol and Ragini as they sit up positioning against the bed head rest.

Tammy walks to Ragini " Mama yeah aap kay liye " and she gives her a beautiful single rose bright and red and kisses her cheeks.

"Aww Tammy mera baccha , Apko pata hai Mainay aur Apkey papa nay kya socha ?"

"Kya socha mama ??" she looks at Ragini

"Humnay Soch ki hum tho North pole nahi jaa sakthey bahut Sardi hai waha aur mama ko sardi nahi lagni ,iss liye Hum Santa ko Peter Uncle kay yaha meet karenygay !!" smiled Ragini with twinkle in her eyes.

"Saachhii mama, Thank You soo much I love you mama, " thrilled was Tammy as Ragini wipes her short tears while nodding her head"Thanks masi ma " cheered Khushi who was holding a tray for their morning tea.

"Wow so we'll go for the party I am so happy papa, " Tammy's eyes brightened as she looked at Anmol who gave his thumbs up.
Placing the Tea Tray on the side table, "Arrey aab dono nay yeah saab kiya apni mama aur masi ma kay liye " Anmol winked at them

"Ha papa we wanted to surprise mama so Guddi di nay tea banaya aur hum le ayye"

Tammy makes the tea for them with instructions from Ragini who was truly happy by this wonderful gesture of her daughter and felt glad .Arnav by then had woken up with all the hush hush in the room and he was cooing away to himself and talking and kicking off the blanket waiting to be picked up.

Tammy and Khushi ran to the crib to play with him and he started giggling with joy.

Ragini keeping her half tea aside was about to get out of bed when Anmol held her hand "Mai dektha hoon , u have your tea", and he walks around the bed to the crib

"Hey jr Good Morning " familiar face and familiar voice attracted him to kick his leg even more and Anmol picked him up and he was over joyed and started playing with Anmol's smooth cheeks and patted it with his chubby hands.

"Papa I want to hold him ", Tammy insisted reaching Arnav with her small jumps.

"Achha Deta hoon just let me settle down on the chair" and he walked towards it and settling down and carefully gave Arnav to Tammy and Khushi also gave her some support by holding his tiny hands.

Arnav was totally enjoying his attention from both his sisters and Ragini was watching his from the bed finishing of her tea.

[Mobile rings]--Basin calling

"Mr. Basin ka call hai , dekha chutti kay din bhi nahi chodthey, they had to call you on a holiday also", a little annoyed she picks up and calls Khushi to give it to Anmol.

"Hello yes Mr. Basin , O Ok thats great tho teek hai aaj 10 baje meeting rakthey hai , phir they can go on their vacation. Its really important we get this tender and that will be my best Christmas gift for the company." hanging up he informs Ragini

"Mujehy kuch deer office jana hai " looking at everyone," I 'll be quick since aaj Party pay jana hai na "

"I hope so Anmol Tammy ko phir kaun disappoint kareyga ",she asked wickedly

"Na na Tammy I promise I will be back by 4 pm Ok phir hum saab log party pay jayengay , Whats say partner ", he looks at the two princesses who are busy listening to him and playing with Arnav.

The girls decide to get ready for the evening giving Arnav to Ragini ,"Love you mama", love you masima", they both kiss her cheek,

She hugs them "Aur meray liye ", Anmol points to his cheeks "O papa here you go " and Tammy , Khushi kiss his cheeks.

Getting up Anmol goes to the washroom to freshen up and get ready and puts his shoes on and Ragini bring his handkerchief and places it in his pocket and Anmol grabs her closer and whispers "Thanks" softly in her ears.

"Setting his collar right "Kis baat kay liye," she questions

"Well u made our daughter happy and I am also happy aaj tender mil jayega tho we'll have new equipments and Alkeh Bhiyya nay new technology kayley suggest kiya tha so thats going to happen too !!"

"Thats great Anmol I am soo happy for you",she looks into his eyes as he gazes at her beautiful face, and a cry from Arnav breaks their embrace,..she releases herself and walk to the crib to pick him up,.

They walked down for breakfast. Ragini quickly makes omelet and cheese toast for Anmol and the kids relish some nice parathas and finish of with fresh fruits.

After a good breakfast all end up in the living room with Arnav enjoying in his playpen. Alkeh and Anmol get ready with their briefcases and Alkeh walks ahead to get the car out while Anmol walking out is stopped by Ragini

"Achha aap jaldi ayyega , Kids will be waiting ,"moving close to him "Aur tum" he traces her face

She nods her head "hmm me too now go'",

"And ha who dress aaj kay liye " he reminds her as he walks out, Ragini smiles and waves a good bye to him leaning against the door.

The morning went by with all this beautiful moments.

A few hours later was the time to leave for the party at the D'souza

"Chalo jaldi say lunch finish karo and go to your room and decide on the dress you will be wearing ", Ragini said clearing up the remaining dishes on the table and Guddi helping her in the kitchen.

"Chachi Aap kuch special pehenay wali ho I know you and Chachu went to the mall the other day he got you something bolo bolo??" Gunni came from behind and asked her.

"Well its a surprise apney Chachu ko janthi ho na he will make sure he wants something different. Shayam ko dekho !!"

"Chalo ab tum saab jaldi say tayaar ho jaoo" ,and Tammy Khushi ran upstairs.

Ragini picked up Arnav and asked Guddi to accompany her .

Putting Arnav on the bed she opened the drawer and picked out a cute green color shirt with a snowman and snowflakes on it and maroon trousers

"Wah bhahi itna cute hai Arnav bahut achha dekhey ga "

"So tho hai mera beta tho saab dresses mai cute dektha hai yeah Anmol nay uskay liye kareeda tha jab who 2 hafthey ka tha aur mainay kaha yeah tho bahut bada hai , lekin dektho aab teek hai.Arnav has grown in a few months, such a darling"

Ragini changes his diaper and puts the new clothes on him. Arnav seems to sense that he is going out somewhere and seems to be really excited with the whole change and is giggling and kicking his legs in excitement.

She gives instructions to guddi to give him his bottle of milk and make him play in the play pen till he feels sleepy,

Guddi takes a well dressed Arnav out of the room while Ragini opens her closet and removes a nice crisp white shirt and an armani suit for Anmol. She placed it on the bed and looked at it thinking about Anmol and his style of dressing which is always so smart and perfect.

She recollected how reluctant she was to wear a gown for the party but Anmol stood by her and told her that she looked beautiful. Thinking about that she went up to the closet and brought a bag out .

Kept it on the side table and removed a beautiful copper color dress/gown from the bag.

[Meanwhile Tammy's room]

Tammy removed a beautiful red dress and matching shoes and Khushi also came there with her dress and they giggled at it as they were so excited to get ready.

"Kya ho raha hai bachha party " , came anmol from behind and held their waist.

"Papa yeah dekho Khushi aur meri dress" "Very pretty, Santa tho tum dono ko dekkar seedey apney sledge mai North pole ki sair(travel) karayega , you guys excited about it!!"

"Hehehehehe papa thats so funny,"Tammy held her mouth," but yes we are excited " , they giggled in their usual way.

"Achha apki mama taiyaar ho gaye ", He inquired.

"Na papa abhi tak nahi hoyee ",she said, "Wow tho teek hai I am saved nahi tho apki mama na muj pay gussa karthi"

"Chalo thum log tayaar ho jaoo , Mai bhi tayaar ho jatha ho ", He taps on their head and walks out.

[Meanwhile in Ragini and Anmol's room]

Placing it on herself she looked at the mirror, "Am I actually going to wear this, Pheley baar I'll wear a gown lekin I think Anmol nay sahi kaha everything has its first time"

Turning around she took it to the dressing room

Anmol noticed the door closed and he just knocked but it self opened and he walked in closing it and kept his bag aside and noticed an armani suit on the bed placed perfectly.

A smile ran across his face. He noticed the crib empty "Arnav kaha gaya shyad with Ragini ya Guddi"

Wow Ragini's choice seems perfect. It was an olive green or maybe dark greenish black Armaani suit with beige cufflinks.

Meanwhile Ragini in the dressing room quickly undressed herself and pushed herself in the gown and came out in a jiffy almost loosing her balance.

"This dress is so tight..uff I cant breathe and abhi zip lagi bhi nahi." struggling her way to the dressing table, she tried to bend down to pick up earrings from dresser '."ouch" ..

Anmol noticed her state and at once knew something was wrong but he didn't want to do anything as she seemed quite annoyed and was just enjoying observing her try..

"Yeh kya I can't bend down, has this dress shrunk or store packed wrong size'"

Ragini was struggling with the gown and getting frustrated'"And now this zip.."

Door was banging .."Mama Mujhe aapko dekhan hai tyaar hue hue'let me in"

"Tammana wait I have to get ready " she yelled

Anmol kept looking at her she was totally fuming and struggling with the gown and defiantly needed help

"Areyy''.",came a shriek of laughter.

"Kya kar rahey ho 'look at my dress ,"she turned to show him, gesturing at the dress,"It seem like shrunk down or something."

Anmol was trying to stop his laughter'."I am not wearing this ",she said frustrated, beads of perspiration were coming on her forehead..

"Calm down Ragini", he soothed her with his soothing voice '.

As he walked closed to her she was getting still annoyed ready to rip off the dress

He bent down as she kept looking at him and pulled the fabric bit down as it was tucked up and causing it to look tight..

The gown fell in its place leaving Ragini with a soothing sensation of soft material'relaxing her and suddenly changing the atmosphere in the room..

Anmol stood up and looked at her through the mirror and their eyes met'..even the reflections were doing magic..

Suddenly she turned ,and tried to close the zipper.., but it was again a good struggle for her.

At once she felt a soft gentle hands covered her hands and she looked up and saw Anmol's refection starting at her,the feelings in those eyes were unreadable, yet she was forgetting everything.

He moved closer and held her gently by her shoulders'.sliding down her bare arms ,in the process making her hands stay where they were ..

"Let me", he said'

And gently brought his hands back up those bare arms'.while snuggling closer'his fingers were playing their part on the soft crushed silk gown and moving finally he gently pulled the zipper close and his hands lingered for a bit longer as if they did not want to loose the magic'

The sensation of his touch was giving her those beautiful shivers she always felt. Suddenly she could bear it no more and turned and saw stunned Anmol looking at her "Kya kar rahey ho aap, Abhi Tammy yaha akey gaye humey tayaar hona hai !!"

"Darwaza tho band Hai no one will come Tammy is not there " he added in is usual soft tone.

Still in control of her gaze he whispered "U look like princess.. Nahi Queen sweet heart..!!"

"Aap bhi na", she blushed like a beet very noticeable, and he took the earrings laying on dresser..

She had dropped them in careless heap earlier in frustration. and very gently put those earrings in her ears on each ear'..still keeping his eyes in contact with hers.

and then say he softly said," Don't go"

A wondered look changed her expression and Anmol walked to the closet and came out with a small bag placed it on the table.

"Ragini apney ankey band karo ", he requested her.

"Lekin kyun?",she asked looking at him

"Band karo plz!!" and she closed her eyes.

He lifts her hair up and bundles it with a claw clip from the dressing table. Her expression still as confusing as she started wondering what was he doing.

He then removed a beautiful red case and opened it.

There it was a beautiful ruby studded elegant necklace.

Removing it carefully, making sure the locks are held on his finger tips and placed it across her neck, "Akhey kolo Ragini," as she opened she was stunned to see the necklace matching her earring and the gown. They all just matched beautifully.

"Anmol aap yeah kab laye?" "Baas jab mainey yeah gown dekha " "Yani"

"Shhh" he places his finger on her lips, bends kissed her on her nape gently. It was electrifying for her to feel his sensation on one of her most sensitive side.
"Thanks" she acknowledge softly turning around and putting her hands around his neck while his automatically held her waist.

She looked stunning in the gown and matching earring set. He kept gazing at her and drawing even closer he started to trace her beautiful lips ,which were inviting passionately, but did'nt last long as..

Knock on the door disturb their concentration.

"Maamma Ho gaya kya ???" , Tammy kept screaming from outside

"Ha haa atti hoon ", Ragini , pushed him back and slowly walks to open the door.

"Wow mama you looks so beautiful , Aap tho Queen lag rahi hoo ", Ragini beads to take a kiss from Tammy.

"Papa hai na " she walks in with Ragini and stands next to both of them.

"Yes my princess Aab tho mujehy ek queen aur ek princess kay saat mai party pay jaoonga" holding Ragini close to him he pulled Tammy also.

"Lekin papa aap tho dress bhi naye hoyee!!" looking at Anmol still in his work attire.

"Go aur jaldi tayaar ho jaye ye " and she pushes him in the washroom with his clothes.

"Mama aap bahut beautiful dikh rahi ho !! " as she looks at herself in the mirror doing the remaining touch up for her face and putting on a nice burgundy lipstick.

"Achha jaoo ask Guddi to bring Arnav", and she send her off the room

"What footwear shall I wear?" she keeps thinking as all that she has were slippers which went well with her sarees.

Anmol came out wearing his beige shirt and trousers.

He picked up his coat and was about to wear it on when he noticed Ragini sitting on the bed

"Ragini what happened??" he came briskly towards her and bend down on his knees.

"Dekhiya na Anmol I have no shoes to go with my dress "Showing her bare feet

"O yes I guess we should have bought a matching shoes haina", "Aap mera mazaak uda rahey ho na " she folded her hands

"Na never sweetheart I guess necklace kay saat jhoothey bhi muhey kareedney thay " "Anmol " she hits him with a pillow, "Mera mazzak!! Yes you always do that " they end with a smile to turn around at a crowd barging

"Papa dekho Arnav itna cute dik raha hai ", she put a small hat for him from one of her doll costume.

"Hey prince you look really handsome", Anmol picked him form Guddi.

"Wow chachi you look really pretty ," came a compliment from Gunni ,"Aur apka hairstyle bahut achha hai kisnay kiya ??"

"Who mera style hai apki chachi ko thoda change laney kay liye ", interrupted Anmol

"Wow chachu chachi tho bilkul ", Anmol joined her "meray story ki heroine jasi lagthi hai "

Ragini gave Gunni a prick on her arm

"Ouch Chachi ", came a cry from gunni.

"Lekin ek problem hai meray jhoothey " Ragini showed Gunni her foot

"Don't worry Chachi you can wear my stilettos" , and she runs out to fetch them and comes back in a couple of minutes with two pairs of shoes.

"Yeah wali tho bahut heels hai " Ragini nodded

" Ragini I think you should wear this one and he points to the brown ones ,they match with your dress."

Gunni places them down and Ragini slips her feet in it.

They were very comfortable and Anmol couldn't get his eyes off her beautiful face and the gown she wore. She truly seemed like a Queen / Princess to him and the girls clapped in excitement.

"Chalo saab nechay jaoo ", Anmol pushed them, Arnav was fresh too as he had a short nap a while ago he left with Guddi.

Anmol went to the dresser to brush his hair as it was well shampooed ,

Then he walked to Ragini holding around her waist " Lets go beautiful " he walks her out of the room.

Ragini loved the change in herself. Somehow she did feel different wearing the gown and the change gave her a different feel the clothing. Anmol couldn't get his eyes of his beautiful wife as they walked through the corridor and down the flight of stairs where everyone was waiting .

Arnav was kicking his legs in excitement and wanted Ragini to hold him. She held Arnav and gave him a kiss.

"Chachi here have it on ", and she gave her a green pashmina shawl which displayed a beautiful peacock embroidery.

Ragini took it from Gunni and was trying to balance Arnav and purse together she held her arms out and gestured Guni to fix it. The shawl sat bit crinkled on her shoulders.. "Chalein"she asked Anmol relishing the warmth of pure pashmina shawl...

"Ruko ruko he said and took Arnav from her. "Guni isko pakdo"

"Now stand still " he removed the shawl from her,leaving her with sudden shivers...or perhaps it was magic of his touch...

He came closer,and gently wrapped shawl around her,engulfing in warmth and euphoria suddenly she felt elated and excited..He saw her eyes lit up..smiling he tucked few folds and straightened up to look from head to foot ..caught her questing but very bright eyes and said...

Perfect with his finger gestures.

It felt nice and cozy.

"Chalo bachha party,Lets go "he calls the kids and Ragini picks up Arnav and Gunni also joins them.

Anmol brought the SUV in the drive way and they all took their place and off they drove.

The drive was about 20 minutes to Peters house. The kids were enjoying themselves in the back seat with Gunni teasing them and asking them about what they plan ask Santa , and Arnav was clapping away to all his excitement.

Anmol and Ragini took the front seat. Anmol was enjoying himself looking at his beautiful wife with few glances now and then, but making sure he kept his eyes on the road.

Reaching Peters Residence. The guard opens the gate and the driveway looks beautiful with soft lights ornaments, popcorn strings were some of the commonly used decorations on trees, and bushes.

The lighting was so beautiful Tammy and Khushi opened the window to peep out to see the decoration even better,.

Anmol parked the car and they got down

As they walked they saw a enchanting sight..In cold night fog was starting to appear...slowly ,but it was not thick..but was like a smoky white see through curtain and every thing looked surreal..

Kids were hypnotized. Watching millions of lights on trees and shrubs in garden...

The walkway was lined with candycane shaped red and green lights...

Santa and his reindeer stood with all might and glory in artificial snow and electric lights..

"Tammy Khushi dont touch anything ",ragini chided..

Arnav was making happy sounds seeing all this and clapping with those tiny hands...

"Wow Tammy dekho waha ek Snowman showing her the lighted snow man and a raindeer."

The yard was also well decorated. They had placed an inflatable snowmen, Santa Claus with his reindeer.

The outside looked so much like a Christmas park. Very well lit and beautiful for the occasion.

Anmol went up to ring the doorbell. A couple of minutes wait and the door opened and a smart guy in a tuxedo opened it.

"O hai Anmol I am so gald you could make it ", Peter greeted him.

Standing next to him in a green deep V Neckline Winter Dress classic style and a contemporary look was Vandana who also greeted Anmol and Ragini .

Bending down she touched Tammy and Khushi's cheeks,

"Well well look at these pretty princesses, and you little boy itna cute hai Anmol bilkul tumharey pay gaya hai ."

Anmol and Ragini smiled at this cute comment.

"Ragini you look stunning.," Vandana complimented her.

Ragini introduced Gunni to both of them. They had'nt met Gunni as she was occasionally out if town due to her project work.

"Please come in." Peter invited them.

As they walked in the living room, the interior of the house represented a beautiful and elegant a traditional holiday theme . There were weaving white lights hanging around door frames and spinning it around stair banisters.

A number of stocking in red and green holiday colors were hung by the fire place with words like Peace Noel Happiness Joy embroidered on them.

The ambiance was so beautiful a Christmas carnival was pictured right in front of Tammy and Khushi's eyes.

As they walked in looking at the lighted interiors, 3 kids walked towards Peter.

"Hey buddy " Peter gave a hi fi to a young boy. I

"Hi Rikin", Anmol shook hands with him.

"And this is Ashwin and Shweta ,Meray Bhai Karthik key twins", Peter introduced them

"Wow thats wonderful they are so cute and both Anmol and Ragini touch their cheeks.

"Tammy Khushi see you have some new friends," Anmol calls them and introduces them and they have a handshake.

Anmol Ragini and Gunni accompanied by Peter and Vandana walked in and settled down on the couch.

Vandana introduced Ragini to a few of her friends.

At a corner was a standing an illuminated beautiful Christmas tree. It had a huge star bright and shinning way on top while the tree itself was well decorated with ornaments like wooden glitter gift boxes, mini santa clause, reindeer, round bells and . The floor was covered with presents packed beautifully with green and red wrapping papers and golden colored ribbons.

Gunni was accompanying Tammy and Khushi around to see the decorations. Tammy spotted the beautiful Christmas tree

"Wow dekho Khushi itna beautiful Christmas Tree hai !!" they were thrilled to see the decoration and ornaments on the tree, on the other side Khushi spotted a man sitting on a chair with a red long coat and black belt and white beard

"Aur who dekho Santa clause ",Tammy pointed

Next to the Santa clause was an elf helping the kids to take pictures with him.

"Mama who dekho santa clause Tammy came running to Ragini and showed her.

"Chalo na mujey Santa ko meet karna hai Ragini was pulled out and she and Arnav went upto a small dais.

A few other kids were standing infront of them including Rikin , Ashwin and Shewta.

As the line went on Ragini came up to the dias with Tammy and Arnav. "Papa come " Tammy called

All went on stage first Anmol Ragini went with Tammy and Arnav. They took a beautiful picture with Santa clause.

Arnav was sitting on Santa's lap and kept looking at this strange person with snow white beard, he was having some anxiety and was still not crying.

The photographer took pictures , Anmol handed his camera phone and asked him to take a picture.

Alekh joined them in a bit and he, Khushi and Gunni Stood.They smiled for the picture and while that was happening someone whispered into Gunni's ears

"Badmaash yaha bhi pahoonch gaye "

A stunned Gunni wondered who it was and the elf who was standing next to Santa gave her a funny look.

After their picture session everyone waved by to Santa who sang Jingle bells Jingle bells all the way and Ho Hoho !! Merry Christmas and waved good bye to the party throwing some candy cane to the crowd !!

[Meanwhile ]
Peter offered some red wine for Anmol,Alekh while Ragini and the kids enjoyed some orange, apple juice which the hostesses were offering around the floor.

Gunni kept following that guy who spoke to her and wondering who he was and caught him from the back and pulled out his cap

"Rohit tum yaha Kaisay ", as surprised to see him.

"Gunni tum issay janthey ho ?" Anmol asked her.

"Chachu yeah merey college mai hai mera senior , and a brilliant student. Final year Management "

"Hello Rohit" shook hands with Anmol.

"Hey Rohit you know Gunni Vandana asked

"Anmol Rohit meri behen Pooja ka beta hai !!, She is my eldest sister, she is in US lekin yeah yaha padna chahatha hai so he lives here with us "

"Thats wonderful nice meeting you Rohit aur its good that you and Gunni know each other",he gives Gunni an elbow knock and she looks at him as if he was teasing her as she always looked for a guy who had qualities like her Chachu.

[Meanwhile]

The kids keep playing around, Tammy and Khushi and their new found friends Rikin, Shweta and Ashwin, they look at the beautiful ornaments on the Christmas tree as they relish their candy cane.

Arnav enjoys watching them and is clapping with joy

Around the other corner there was a lady doing some face painting for the kids, Tammy, Khushi didn't want to miss an opportunity so they got their faces painted with beautiful color and glitter.

Gunni took some pictures of Tammy and Khushi and they wanted others also to join.

They were enjoying themselves to the fullest.

"Mama I am hungry" Tammy came upto Ragini ,she looked really cute with her butterfly make up but looks like all her energy was drained out and wanted to eat something.

There was a beautiful buffet set up across the hall and Ragini took the kids accompanied by Gunni and Rohit

On the other side Anmol Peter and Alekh were busy talking.

Alekh excused himself as Khushi wanted him to help her with the choice of food.

Ragini also fed Arnav a bottle of milk , Suzy their caretaker and nanny helped with warming the bottle to make it comfortable for that little boy.

The kids were done eating and they were all sitting around and singing some Christmas jingles while

"Wow bachha party apka gifts are amazing!! ", He touched their cheeks to appreciate their efforts.

Some guests were leaving so Vandana saw them off and came back.

"Mama I am tried and muhey apney gift dressing table pay rakna hai and I am sleepy too.. ",

Tammy put her head on Ragini's shoulder while playing with Arnav who was sitting and holding a trinket.

"Ragini agar Tammy ko need aa rahi ho tho why don't I ask Suzy to take them upstairs and put her to sleep ",Vandana suggested.

"I'll ask Anmol I think we should leave",Ragini looking out for Anmol

"Stay for a while, Ragini its once in a while we have such parties?"requested Vandana as they were having their couples party later.

Ragini was trying to call Anmol when Alekh came there with Khushi who also seemed very tired.

They slowly closed the door and Suzy told them that she will be around here only since the kids are also sleepy and they should relax and enjoy the rest of the party.

"Suzy kuch problem ho tho just call me"

"Sure mam she assured.

As the walk down the corridor and down the flight of stairs they were surprised at the ambiance

The hall had completely a different look. The stage was set for a beautiful dance floor, with pillar candles at different intervals surrounding the wall panel. There were spot lights on the dance floor at regular intervals to give the feel of some groovy dance and soft and beautiful music.

The left hand corner there was a DJ station and Rohit was managing it with gunni's company.

"Ladies and Gentleman aaj Christmas eve hai kyun na thoda dance ho gaye,we should have some fun right!," announced Rohit

There were a couple of families who decided to stay back

Rohit started the music and up went his hand in the air. He pulled Gunni to the dance floor and they started on the song which was just the time for disco

[Music ]

Dil Hai Mera Deewana Kya

Peter also joined Rohit and Gunni and danced with them.

Anmol and Ragini sat on a lounge seat and were enjoying Rohit Gunni and Peter grooving and clapping to the music.

Peter notices Anmol tapping his feet and enjoying the song and he left no chance but to pull him on the floor.

Anmol pulled out his jacket and went on the floor.

"Com on chachu It's the time to disco". Gunni started to make him enjoy the music.

Anmol had his hand in the air and started to enjoy the music. In no time he loosed his neck to free himself from the tie/row he was wearing.

Ragini was watching him and smiling to herself and the way Anmol was enjoying with the crowd. He seemed totally happy and engulfed with the song.

[Music goes on ]

Josh Mein Naachti Rangeen Shaam Hai
Bin Piye Jhoomta Hais Ama
Hosh Ka Ab Yahan Bolo Kya Kaam Hai
Tez Hai Dhadkane Dil Javan

Aur Hai Kehna To Khul Ke Kaho
It's The Time To Disco
It's The Time To Disco
Samjho Zara Tum Isko
It's The Time To Disco

And everyone froze with their hands in air.

The crowd applauds and Anmol and Peter hug each other friends meeting after years and enjoying the rock and roll.

After this energetic performance Anmol and Peter got back to their respective spouses,

"Wow lagtha hai mujhey aur workout karna padega , Kyun Ragini?, since a year I guess we have just been laied back", he asked her, as his hair was a little daap and he was cooling off beads of perspiration with his handkerchief.

"Nahi Anmol infact you were enjoying yourself and I am so glad to see this, Itney saalon kay baad doston say milna and you go back times, Aap bilkul jhoom rahey they ", she places her hand on his and he gives her a quick glance.

At the DJ station Rohit and Gunni started playing some more music to continue with evening,

"Aur aab pech kar rahey hai Desi daal mai Angrezi Tadka" announced Rohit

The crowd kept working what this was but gave a cheer and applauds.

"Rohit whats up dude", asked Peter

"Peter aur Vandana di, today is Christmas eve and as host you have to pick two couple and I have a song for them"

"Vo hoo...!!"the crowd cheered and excited to know who the two pair were.

They went to the fish bowl to pick a chit they were colored.

Vandana picked a red and green chit and read the names

"Raj and Aditi"

"Anmol and Ragini!!"

Raj and Aditi were pushed on to the stage and they waved to the crowd. Many knew them so they cheered for them.

Ragini looked at Anmol feeling a little uneasy Anmol assured her ..

Gunni continuing "Chachu and Chachi please aap agey aeeye dance floor pay come on the sweetest couple I know" and she pulls them both ,

"lekin Gunni " Ragini interrupts,

"Nahi Ragini thumey jakey Anmol key saath dance karna hoga , you are one of the chosen couple" insisted Vandana..

They walked to the center of the dance floor and the Spot light fell on them

Anmol and Ragini with the other couple on the dance floor with the spectators watching them around. They all applaud as they stand facing each other.

Anmol looks at Ragini who is a little shy embarrassed and blushing. He speaks through his eyes as if saying " Please ragini meray Khathir"

Ragini smiles accepting his proposal

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree

I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas
Is you

Ragini places her hand on Anmol's shoulder while Anmol traces her waist line and slowly gently holds it and as he watches her smile he draws his other hand out indicating her to place hers on it. The warmth of his hand felt very nice on her and she smiled as they swayed with the music. The gaze which Anmol gave her made her blush and turn red as a beet..They started their slow dance with steps back and forth.

The other couple are also in their own movements.

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
And I don't care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree

I don't need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won't make me happy
With a toy on Christmas Day

They started their slow waltz and Anmol gently held her waist as she placed her hand on his shoulder.Their eyes were meeting as the music sounding in their ears.Anmol couldn't get his eyes of his beautiful wife while Ragini looked down as a shy damsel.

I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you
You baby

Oh I won't ask for much this Christmas
I won't even wish for snow
And I'm just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe

Anmol and Ragini were still swaying with the music and slowly his glances on her made her blush. The other couple kept looking at Anmol and Ragini who were amazed by their dance and slowly stepped out to leave the floor for them.

As the music went on anmol and ragini were in each others arms ragini held anmol by his shoulders while anmol had cupped her waist and they swayed in a rhythmic movement and they were so comfortable with each other. The music was going on and the high notes were on..."Ragini you look beautiful today there is something different with the gown you have worn. Aaj manu kuch Khaas hai naya ehsaas hai " ,whispered Anmol

"Thanks ab yeah dress ka asar hai jo aap humjsay nazar nahi utta parehey", teased Ragini,

This left a smile on Anmol as he bit his lips. A challenge on the roll

I won't make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won't even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeer click
'Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do?
Baby all I want for Christmas is you '...You

Anmol removed her hand from his shoulder and holding them they moved back and again came close ,they made a cross over around each other neck and made a small circle around each other without leaving each others gaze and again parted and Anmol held her waist and she put her hands on his shoulder.

All this while his eyes were on her and she never left her gaze on him and the smile was capturing their hearts.

The crowd cheered as they danced.

Oh all the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children's
Laughter fills the air

And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won't you bring me the one I really need?
Won't you please bring my baby to me?

He moved behind her and held her waist though the beautiful satin dress and she rested her head on his chest and he left his breath on her beautiful nape.

"Aaj tum wakai hi bahut khoobsurat Lag Rahi hoo.. I think u should wear this dress more", she looked at him and smiled intensely.

Then he turned her around and drew his hand out. She slowly placed her hand on his and the other hand on his shoulder as he traced her waist. They took small steps back and forth to be in sync with the music.

Oh I don't want a lot for Christmas
This is all I'm asking for
I just want to see my baby
Standing right outside my door

Oh I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby all I want for Christmas is
You baby

[YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bn67I6L6sfY[/YOUTUBE]

She was pulled closer and he placed his hands again on her waist and lifted her up in the air as she curled her legs and left her hand in a V formation

All I want for Christmas is you baby
All I want for Christmas is you baby
All I want for Christmas is you baby

Bringing her slowly down Anmol planted a kiss on her forehead and caressed her soft cheeks.

During all this dance there was soft lights around the dance floor.

The spotlight was on them as they were gazing at each other with a sense that they were all alone and the beautiful music, the couple was in such deep gaze that they were finally distracted by the applauds . Turning towards the crowd they took a bow.

"Beautiful Anmol and Ragini, you guys were just fantastic , Hai na Peter I think we should learn to dance like them."

"Thanks!" Anmol & Ragini acknowledged.

"Ragini Anmol lagtha hai Ragini nay tumhey dance karna seekhaya hai as she herself is a good dancer right"

"O no Chachu tho himself is a good dancer lekin chupey rustam they ", teased Gunni.

"Gunni badmaash kuch bhi bol rahi ho ",Anmol pulled her cheeks.

A few couples wished Anmol and Ragini for their beautiful dance and took leave.

"Dekha Rohit merey Chachu is an awesome dancer",she came with a challenging tone

"Next time Tum mera bhi dance dekh lo and u will be my partner ", he gave her back.

All had a good laugh. It was getting late and Suzy informed that Arnav was crying a bit as he was getting up.

Anmol and Ragini wanted to excuse themselves with Gunni accompanying them.

"Thanks for coming Anmol and Ragini . I am glad you guys could stay late. ,Ragini this is for you", Vandana gave her a token for Christmas.

"Yeah kya hai", Ragini looked inside there was a beautiful crystal bowl.

"Thanks Vandana ", and she hugged her.

As they left Peter escorted them outside and waved good bye.

They drove back and Gunni kept talking about how wonderful their evening was and she was glad that her chachu danced to the rock song and later they were a beautiful couple on the dance floor.

Anmol teased her that next time he will dance with her and she struck the deal with him.

As they reached home, Ragini was smiling all the way listening to their talk. Gunni got down wished them good night and walked in.
As they walked Anmol saw her face like open book ,smiling suddenly she turned and smiled ,she moved close to him and held his hand softly as if saying thanks for convincing me.

Arnav was awake a little and kept looking at them.
"Arrey yeah abhi bhi utta hai , tum upar jaoo Mai Tammy ko dekkey atta hoon", he walked across

Slowly opening the door he walked in tiptoed and came near Tammy's bed.

A little moment woke up Tammy and she started to rub her eyes,

"Papa aap a gaye, I was in my wonderland, I kept cookies and milk under the tree I am sure Santa is travelling by with some gifts ?", she looked at a blur figure in the dim light

"Yes mera bachha chalo so jaoo"

Anmol tucked sleepy Tammy in bed and she kissed him sleepily ,happy and content '

"Thankyou god for sending worlds best papa to me ",she gasped.

He stroked her forehead and sat smiling for a few minutes soon she was breathing evenly and fast asleep. Going downstairs he saw the gifts which were pot full of surprises for the munchkins kept in place as needed.

[Meanwhile in their room]

Ragini took a while to put Arnav to sleep as he was in need of a feed and diaper change.

"Finally he slept she gasped...", Ragini had finally manged to coax the baby to sleep.

She was still rocking the crib when two hands grabbed her waist and pulled her against himself..

"Anmol kar rahe hain ho took me half hr to sleep and I need to change."

Anmol kept holding on to her..turning her around and put his finger to her lips and said shh..letting his finer linger for a bit longer than necessary.." the gifts are under the tree and Santa finished the cookies and milk"he said as she looked at the stain white mushtache on his upper lip and smiled. Taking the wipe she cleaned it off while his eyes were on her all the time.

Ragini looked at him with surprise and saw passion in his eyes...

"Ragini vakai aaj iss dress mai tum bahut khoobsoorat lag rahi ho.. I am glad you wore this gown, It sits on you so beautifully and give that extra grace to your figure, "

She lowered her gaze and he traced her face with his fingers as if he was sketching her with the pencil in his hand...never leaving his gaze..

She couldn't bear to look at his intensity and suddenly pushed to move away and stood by the window her breath heavy.

He came from behind engulfing her in his arms and moved her hair to side and gently lowered his head to inhale in her hair..she sighed helplessly and turned putting her hands around his neck...

"Chodo na I need to change , Na aaj raat issi say kaam chalathey hai Let the dress be on! ", he winked.

He drew her closer and their gaze intensified, and their cold nose touched each others and he softly whispered "Merry Christmas sweetheart", she smiled "To you too!" His hands drew to her face and moved a strand of hair falling across her face and disturbing her lips which looked beautiful and inviting. He placed a gentle kiss on her lips, which grew deeper in a few minutes, and lifting her off her feet he laid her on the bed and his hands did their way in to feel her soft smooth skin and the morns and pleasures got their chance to enjoy the moment between the husband and wife..

Moon was smiling and so was fog outside...engulfing two people into a world of their own, of kiss,love romance and happiness. Pulling the blanket they cudled cozily.

[Next Morning]

The chirping birds sang a sweet song on the window which was half open and cool breeze as the season changed and leaves were falling on the lawn.

The winter sun had risen above the bed of trees to peep through into their room across the half opened window.

The rays of the sun fell its warmth on Anmol who was in deep sleep and his face.

The rays of the sun was more like a awake up alarm as no sooner he felt its heat and slowly opened his eyes. He looked outside the window as the glare of the sun fell on his face telling him its morning and this is your wake up call...

The top three buttons of his shirt were undone and his white vest was well exposed as her head rested on it to feel the Egyptian cotton texture ,he looked down Ragini was still holding on to him just as they had rested into each others arms past midnight. her warmth was enduring for him He remembered how beautiful she looked a change in her attire wearing that copper gown and he just couldn't get enough from complementing her. She has slowly started to like changes and liking his request. A smile on his face remembering last night and the dance, he ooked up at the roof and his eyes slowly wandered round the room to reach the crib and peeped to watch Arnav still asleep..Tracing his eyes back on his lovely wife,he heard Ragini's rhythmic breathing and turned to look at her, what he saw there took his breath away. She looked like a divine beauty in deep sleep.

Her silky soft hair covered her face so the sun hadn't fallen on her dusky face and disturbed her. Anmol noticed the curls of her hair was so smooth and silky that the soft breeze following the sun's warmth started to tickle her face. She was getting disturbed and feeling the breeze , Anmol with his index finger slowly pushed the curls behind her ears to let the rays fall on her and the breeze give her the natural wake up., but looks like last night was still in her mind and went back to her sleep.

It was a little short and she opened her eyes saw herself close to Anmol. She lifted head up and saw him looking at her, his gaze was still on her smooth dusky face. He placed his hands on hers which were resting to his left side and held them into a fold. He drew closer to her face and placed a soft kiss on her forehead and she smiled with a beam of happiness.

"Good morning", came a soft voice as Anmol looked at her.

"Subha kab Hoyee pata hi nahi chala" she took a short yawn.

"Haa kal raat party mai mazaa ayya, thanks for wearing the gown.."

"Thanks kiss liye.. ,playing with his shirt button..., Apney tho kaha ki a change is good so I took that and for us..."

A smile left on both their faces, and Anmol gaze kept tracing her cheek bone and stopped at her beautiful lips and still holding her hand , which took a sudden release hearing a grunting noise from the crib..

"Lagtha hai Arnva utt raha hai ," lifting up her head and see movements in the crib..

"Nahi Ragini ," he is trying to just clear his nose to allow proper respiration, Dekthey hai .., he prompted her.

Arnav tried to get back to sleep, but looks like his breathing was troubling him and he started giving short coos which increased in successive intervals, leading to small cries..

"Apka beta hai humey zyada deer soney nahi dega ," she signed looking at the crib and back at Anmol and she sat up to leave when he held her hand..with a strong grip..her back was bare

"Kya hooa?? she turned to look at him..

Anmol got up and sat and snuggled close to her , she felt the shivers , didn't know what was going on as her eyes were still on the crib distracting her and what was Anmol doing?? she kept thinking...as his fingers traced her back ,through the satin material falling on her body and pulled her zipper to close it complete..

"Aab Jaoo he whispered as he completed his job.

Ragini finally understood his move and looked at him and said,?hanks he blinked his eyes to gesture a welcome.

Arnav's cries were accelerating as Ragini reached the crib.

She removed his blanket , his eyes were still shut and she lifted him and swayed him a little

Turning around , she walked near the bed and sat next to Anmol..

The feel of known hands and when the comfort zone had reached, Arnav finally woke up and looked at Ragini and gave his morning smile, Anmol clicked his fingers to draw his attention and Arnav's started kicking his legs and playing with Anmol's fingers..

"Kafi jaldi bada ho raha hai Arnav, haina Ragini observing him carefully..

"Hmm, Lag tho yahi raha hai she rested her head on his shoulder as they were enjoying with him..

The door pushed opened ,Mama , papa came Tammy running '

She sat on Anmol's lap and started playing with Arnav..

something suddenly caught her attention.

"Arrey Mama aap gown mai hi soo gaye..you never changed ., she looked at Ragini followed by Anmol , papa

Apney dress nahi badley , aur yeah red color nishaan kaisa hai ??" she notices it and started touching the lipstick mark.

Looking at it he..."Who beta... ", trying to distract her and pulling her closer and looking at Ragini who had a smile on her face to cover up, "Achha did u see under the tree, chalo lets go and see"

"Ha papa Khushi was also so excited lets go, "and they all stepped out of the room.
