Nani:This is the first holi after marriage.So this is special for all of you.
All the three newly married couples smiled.
They attended puja.Then they all got ready for the Holi celebration.
Anjali went near Rahul:Rahul…look here..
R:Yes Anjali…
Suddenly Anjali threw colour powder on his face.
He was shocked as he had'nt expected it.She tries to run away laughing.But he held her hand.They both looked at each other deeply with a passionate smile.Rahul touched her face with his cheek.She closed her eyes.He moved backward.Slowly she opened her eyes.Suddenly she realized that he did so to colour her face.
Anj:Rahul….
He started laughing.She also laughed.
Lavanya covered NK's eyes and led him somewhere.
NK:What's the surprise baby?
L:Wait and watch.
They reached near the colour pool.Suddenly Lavanya pushed him to the pool.He fell down with fear.
Lavanya started laughing.
NK:This was your surprise?
L:Ya?How was it?
NK:Oh nooo…
Aarav was running as the other kids were chasing him to put colour on him.While running his shoulder hit Lavanya hard and she fell into the pool.
L:Oh!
NK started laughing:You deserved it.
Lavanya melted in NK's cute laughter and she started laughing along with him.
The kids spashed colour water on Aarav's face.He threw colour powder at them too.
Arnav and Khushi laughed watching this.Suddenly they became aware of the fact that they were still out of colour.Arnav took a pinch of colour powder and coloured Khushi's face.She was looking deeply into his face.
A:Happy Holi Khushi.
She took colour powder and coloured his face:Happy Holi to you too Arnavji.
They both smiled.Khushi held his hand and took him to the pool side.
A:Khushi?
K:Arnavji,I want to tell you something in private.
A:I know what you are going to say.
Arnavji,when ever you come near me my heart beat increases.
Right?
Khushi was surprised.Arnav repeated the words she uttered to him last Holi.
K:Arnavji?
A:These words had come out of your mouth last Holi when you had drunk bang.
K:I know Arnavji.I remember what I said.
Arnav smiled:So you lied to me that day that you don't remember what you said to me when you were drunk?
Khushi bent down her eye lashes.
A:I understood it later Khushi.That's why I repeated your words now.
She smiled.
K:And you said…
Arnav said what he told her during last Holi.
A:Yes Khushi.I also remember clearly what I told you. When you are near me my heartbeat increases along with yours.Our heartbeats become one. I also feel what you feel.
She remembers last Holi.Flash back...Arnav had held her hand close to his bosom..She looked at him emotionally.K:Our heart beats...Arnav completed the sentence:Become one.
They shared an emotional eye lock.Rabba ve...
Present...Khushi was surprised:Arnavji… A:Khushi…our love is so strong that we remember even the romantic words we uttered to each other in subconsciousness.
K:So you also lied to me that you don't remember what you told me that day. A:Yes.Today was a nice occasion to open up to each other.This Holi we could open our heart and pour out the hidden words we stored for each other.
She nodded her head smiling.They both held each other and stood close to each other sharing a romantic eye lock. After one month…

All others were excited.

Manorama:Hello hi bye bye…you go damadji…we are here to look after our Anjali bitiya…
Manorama caressed Anjali's hair with care.

Anj:Ok….
Rahul went out.
Nani:So nice.Both Payal and Anjali are pregnant.2 babies are coming.Can't wait.
Everyone smiled.Arnav observed Khushi smiling.He felt sad.
He thought:If I had no problem,now even Khushi would have been pregnant like them.
He closed his eyes due to frustration.
Khushi:I am so excited.We will cook special food for di and jeeji.
Lavanya:That's a good idea.We will cook together.
NK:Oh Lavanya…please don't cook.
Lavanya made a baby face.
L:Why not baby?
NK:Because you cook so well with love that I want to eat everything together without leaving anything for others.
Others tried hard to control their laughter.
Lavanya frowned:Don't tease me.I will cook.You see…
K:Anjali di…you change and take rest.We are going.
Anj:Ok..
Khushi and Lavanya went away.Khushi wore an ordinary Salwar Kameez as she has to cook.They both started cooking.
Lavanya tasted what she cooked.
L:Oh no….it is a complete failure.Even I can't eat it.What will I do?
NK will tease me again.
Khushi came and looked at the dish which Lavanya cooked.Seeing it's condition Khushi opened her mouth in 'O' shape.
NK came inside.Lavanya got nervous.
L:Why did you come to the ladies' compartment?
NK:Just to see what my lovely wife has cooked.
Suddenly he saw what she cooked.
NK:Oh!You cooked this.Right?I told you not to cook.
Lavanya was embarrassed.But she was not willing to bend before NK.
L:You said I cook so well with love that you want to eat the whole thing.Right?Then you eat it.
NK:No….
Lavanya fed him forcefully.Khushi laughed like hell.
Inorder to escape from Lavanya NK lied:My phone is ringing.
He ran away quickly.Khushi and Lavanya laughed together seeing him run.Anjali came in.
Anj:What have my sisters in law cooked for me?
Lavanya was embarrassed to face her as her cooking attempt failed.
L:Sorry di...mine was a flop.But Khushi has made tasty dishes.
Khushi tasted one of her dishes.
K:Oh no...I think even mine is not upto the mark.
L:Oh!My hope was your cooking.
Anjali smiled:No problem.My sisters in law have cooked specially for my Little Princess.That's a great thing.So I am sure that the lunch time is going to rock.
Khushi was still staring at her curry while Lavanya was happy about Anjali's support.
Anj:Khushiji...relax.
K:Di...I will make Jalebi...only tthen the cooking session will be complete.
Anj:Ya...sure.Without Khushiji's jalebi how can the lunch be complete?
Khushi smiled.
Anj:Ok carry on...I will wait along with Payal.
Anjali went out.
Khushi started making jalebi.
K:Look Lavanyaji...because of these jalebies our lunch is going to be sweet and rocking.
Lavanya smiled.
Khushi served the food she made.She and Lavanya fed both Anjali and Payal.
Anj:Khushiji...lavanyaji...I can't deny that the food is tasty.
Payal:Really tasty.
Khushi and Lavanya became happy.
All others felt happy seeing their love.
After feeding them Khushi just disappeared.
Arnav's eyes searched for Khushi.
Arn:Where is Khushi?
Khushi was in the pool side with Aarav.
K:Aarav…see what mom has made.
Aarav got excited:This is my favourite pudding.Mom…you made it specially for me?
K:Yes.
Aar:O..I love you mom.
Aarav kissed her cheek.Khushi kissed him back.
Khushi fed him pudding.
Arnav who reached there saw this and smiled.
Arnav thought:Seeing their love who will say that they are not biologically mother and son?
Khushi saw Arnav:Arnavji…you?Look at Aarav…
Aarav's lips and cheeks were coloured by the extracts of the pudding.
Arnav smiled.
K:Aarav looks so cute.Right?
With a smile Arnav sat near them.They both hugged Aarav.
K:We and our son….We are a lucky family!Right Arnavji?
He smiled.Spending time with Aarav made him forget that He can't produce a baby for Khushi.
Lavanya sat near Anjali.
L:Di…look at this magazine.Here it's written how pregnant ladies should take care of themselves.It seems to be interesting.
Anjali was not at all listening.
L:Di…what are you thinking?
Anj:Nothing.
L:Missing jeeju?He will come now no.You can't spend at least a few hours without jeeju?
Anjali was shy.
Rahul reached.Anjali was very happy.
L:Finally Jeeju came.Jeeju…di missed you like hell.
Lavanya went away.Rahul sat near Anjali caressing her shoulder.
Anj:You know Rahul?Without you hours were like years for me.
I don't want to miss you even for a moment.
R:Sorry dear…I had to attend the meeting.I also missed you.Also our Little Princess.
He touched her stomach with fatherly affection.
Anjali became emotional.
R:What happened Anjali?Is everything alright?
Anj:Rahul…Once I dreamt of my little Princess a lot.But that cruel animal killed her.By God's grace,she returned to my life. But now I am scared.I don't want to lose my little Princess again.Rahul….
She burst into tears.Rahul felt upset.
He wiped her tears.
R:No Anjali…this time nothing bad will happen.I won't let any evil force to take our Little Princess.I will protect her day and night.I promise Anjali.We both will give Royal treatment to our little Princess.
Anjali rested her head on his shoulder with relief.
