TRUE LOVE ALWAYS FINDS IT WAY HOME CHAPTER 4B & Epilogue A&B P - Page 34

Part B

Aarti observed her Yashu hold his twin babies hands and help them walk the pride and joy evident in his eyes very much so as it did when he held Aayu's hand teaching him to walk gently encouraging him along. Tears came to her eyes he had missed out on this with Ansh; hearing his first words all the first that a parent holds dear in their heart, now he was making sure he enjoyed all with Aayu, and the twins. Aarti remembered her time with Ansh how she wished that Yash was there with her to experience her pregnancy his birth all his firsts steps in life but she had some in pictures and some on video which she had the opportunity to share with her hubby which he treasured as if it was the most precious metal in the world.

Yash never felt close or the need to experience anything with the twin girl when they were babies leaving all that to his ma, buaji and bhabhi; he always made himself unavailable for them and if someone pushed him he simply went out of town on business.

This time with his and Aarti's babies he made the time for them delegating the business to the more capable staff with Pankaj and Prateek's supervision. Yash loved and enjoying spending time with his family the three older ones loved making pottery with him, doing their homework with him, or just playing games. During the evenings their mama had to help Vidhi and Paridhi cook dinner or make snacks for tea. Aarti sometimes deliberately made herself busy so Yash could be available for the elder girls, and their many questions. Ansh too knew what his mama was up to and he would spend time with his uncles, and dadaji who loved teaching him new things; while G3 and Maya fussed over Aayu and the babies.

The kids were growing up and participating in all school activities from sports to dance and drama, the girls were enrolled in dance class learning the classical art form while Ansh was more interested in karate and learning the guitar.

Aayu started preschool and everyday he would return home to show them what new thing he had learnt. The twins were growing stronger and bigger with each passing day Aayan looked like Yash and his elder brothers while Yash got his wish and Aarushi was a little Miss Aarti she was the apple of her father's eye.

Palak and Payel felt jealous when they saw the close bond their papa had with their baby sister and one day they questioned him "Papa is it because we are not yours and mama biological daughters that is why you don't love us as much as Aarushi?"

Yash was taken by surprise he was momentary confused and did not know what answer to give the girls then Aarti can to the rescue she took the girls on her lap kissed their foreheads and tried to explain to them "Betas Aarushi is still so small and getting to know papa, and she loves sitting on him to play you see how possessive she is with him that no one can come near him once she is awake, all she want is for him to hold and carry her, even feed and bathe her; Look she even quarrels when Aayu and Aayan comes near him. Remember Aayu was the same when he was a small baby just like her. And my girls who say we don't love you all the same you are all our kids you two lived only with papa after you were born and everyone in this family loves you very much especially papa it is just he show it differently right Yashu" and she looked at her husband her eyes pleading for him to answer and hoped that the girl will be satisfied.

"Betas you are my big girls and I love you very much but I also fear that one day you will decide that you want to live with your Aaman papa in Mumbai and I don't want to lose you, because I will miss my princesses so very much. I am so sorry you feel left out by me come give me a hug and kissy." They went to him as on que Miss Aarushi started to protest she had learnt a new phrase "MY PAPA" and she kept repeating and started throwing a tantrum when Aarti took her to allow Palak and Payel to embrace their papa.

"See girls how she is crying for papa, and not mama" said Aarti pretending to be hurt, and made a very sad face but Aarushi kept crying and stretching her little arms for her papa.

"Aaru don't cry we all want to play with papa too, mama please bring her here the three of us will sit together Palak and I on either side and you our cutie baby sister on papa's lap and he will tell us a story right papa?" said Payel smiling at Yash who had no choice but to embrace all three girls; tell a princess fairy story, then play dolly house with them, and tea party. Yash spent the afternoon with his very happy girls to have their papa's attention. Aarti silently observed from a safe distance and smiled to herself.

Aarti knew that Yash loved all the kids but he could not help himself he loved their biological kids more after all he is G3's son and her influence plays a large role in his life; plus he could never forgive Aripta and her parents for fooling his family and him losing five precious years of his life with her and their Anshu. Aarti understood that no matter how much he tried the girls will always be a reminder he knows they are innocent children but still he could not fully love them but for her sake and Ansh he was trying his best; and the girls were very smart they sensed the distance and noticed the difference in him.

From that day Yash made an effort to spend time with the girls so that they will not feel left out, Aarti did not have that problem because she made time and showered her love on them teaching them new things every day and patiently listening to their stories, the events of their day, and everything that was important to them.

The date for the anniversary of their first marriage ten years ago was approaching Yash wanted to renew their vows on that day so a small wedding was planned at SM only close family/relatives and friends were invited.

They had a mehndi ceremony the nine year old twins were excited they got to have a beautiful pattern drawn on their hands even the two years old baby girls got cute pattern on their hands. The kids were excited because they got to show case their talent for the musical ceremony, dancing to Bollywood hits.

G3 was so happy for her kids all she ever wanted was to see them healthy and happy she was still a bit snobbish to the girls but she was changing ever so slowly, Maya as usual was her sour self-considering all this a waste of money that Aarya were too old for all this foolishness, that their time had pass for all this romantic nonsense.

The day of the wedding came they did the other rituals then it was time for the wedding Aarti looked radiant in her heavily embroidery red and gold saree and veil/dupatta of red with gold beads, she wore gold wedding jewelry that Yash gifted her the payels on her feet made a sweet chiming sound as she walked towards him. Aarti was escorted to the mandap by her kids who were all dressed in red and gold outfits. Her groom looked handsome in his red and gold outfit standing proudly waiting for her he extended his hand for his lovely bride and together they went and took their seat in the mandap to begin the wedding rituals.

Yash held her hands throughout the ceremony just like he did the first time around; they looked at each other and smiled acknowledging their love for each other.

Their kids happily showered them with rose petals during the rounds around the fire re taking their vows to each other. Promising to love each other for a lifetime and beyond; to love all their six kids and always stand by each other's side throughout all the good, bad, and in between time of their life. To accept each other flaws and always communicates with each other never keeping secrets or problems big or small.

After the wedding there was the reception dinner followed by dancing it was indeed a celebration of life and love; the ups and downs of life living in an extended family, with the different types of personalities.

This time around Yash treated his wife with a European honeymoon for three weeks of romance one week in Paris, one in Switzerland and one week for shopping in London.

Aarya had a marvelous time sightseeing, shopping and of course their romance that intensified to new heights. Yash and Aarti give thanks to god that every day their friendship, support, trust, and understanding grew a little by little, that they were more than just a couple who are together just to satisfy their physical needs, children, or that because of tradition and society they have to stay together for life.

Epilogue Part A

Nine years have passed the three kids were spending their last holiday in Bhopal before going to college in Mumbai they would be living with their Aaman mama ji, Joyce mami ji and their eight year old twin boys.

Ansh wanted to be a business man like his papa so he did business and accounting. Payel wanted to be like her Aaman Mama ji and studied marketing, while miss Palak choose law; the three of them loved art and designing so they also did small course in that field, and plan to continue it as a minor subject field in college.

The thirteen years old Aayu was angry because they were leaving him at home they convinced him that the eleven years old Aayan, Aarushi, Vidya, and Pooja needed their older brother around to protect them; but he said that the older Vedant and Vedikca were there to protect them.

Vedant at twenty seven was working as a lawyer in their business and Vedikca twenty five was a designer and event coordinator in the family business, she worked closely with both her Vidhi ma, and Aarti chachi. Their grandparents wanted to see them married off and was forever searching for the perfect partners for the kids; much to the annoyance of the kids who wanted to wait until they were older and settled in life.

G3 and Maya had finally accepted Pooja and Vidya as their granddaughters only because they resembled them. While Aarushi was a little Miss Aarti and of course the three boys were Little Yash both in looks and mannerisms; Palak and Payal they loved and accepted but were still a bit withdrawn from them, the girls understood although they were hurt while growing up that quickly changed into acceptance because their Aarti mama give them so much love and lovingly explained everything to them about different behaviors of adults.

SP loved all his grandkids equally but he saw six young Aarti because all the granddaughters wanted to be like her.

Aarya was observing their six kids and two cousins in Palak and Payel's room "Yashu remember the first day we took Aayu to preschool he was so excited to attend because the older one told him that there will be other children his age to play with and many new toys"

"Yes and I remember you were all teary eyed and I had to drag you away when Aayu was busy with his new teacher"

"Only me what about you even when the twins had to go you were also teary eyes and also Prateek bhayia"

"Yes bhabhi tell him these men gives the world the impression that they are so macho but when it comes to saying goodbye to their kids they become worse than us the mothers" said a smiling Paridhi

"Paridhi when Palak and Payel have to get married my Yashu will be all teary eyed he might even demand that they live close by" she laughed

"Yes bhayia I think we should buy the mansion down the street that is for sale and the daughters of our family and their husbands can live there so we can all be close to each other."

"I agree chote our girls should be close to us that is why my Vidicka finally decides to get married I want a Damaad form close by"

Vidicka and Vidhi who arrived with shopping bags for the kids heard the conversation and Vedicka said "Papa I am never getting married so I will never leave you okay"

G3 who happened to be close by was angry "Vedicka what nonsense is that of course you are getting married you have to go to your family and be a good bahu to your family and I have chosen the perfect family for you."
"Dadai ji this is my family and if I don't wish to get married no one can force me. Times have changed from your day and I wish to live at home here with my family and be a working woman."

"Vidicka don't take that tone with your dadi" shouted Vidhi

"Mummy marriage it not the center of my universe, I already have a family whom I love and I hope you all still love me. Why must I be forced into a marriage I don't want with a stranger I know nothing about? If ever I decide to get married it will be a love marriage and if it don't work out there is no shame in a divorce. Yash chacha and Aarti chachi together with Chote chachu and chacji had love marriages and look how happy they are."

"What kind of example are you setting for the younger ones Pankaj speak to your daughter make her understand" said G3

"Make her understand what ma? I have no wish to see my child unhappy. When she feel it is the right time for her to marry I will agree with her choice, that is only after my brothers and I completely checks out the boy and his family; we will make sure they are good upstanding family and if they try and ill-treat my child like she said there is no shame in a divorce"

"I agree bhayia no one will be allowed to ill-treat any of our daughters" said Yash

Aarti said "Well I hope the same applies to your bahus and you will support them if any of our sons decides to misbehave with their wife keeping in Mind that they too have loving protective fathers, uncles, brothers and belong to another family"

"I agree Aarti Bhabhi" said Paridhi "If we want love, support, understanding, and respect for our daughters in their married life from their in laws then we have to do the same for our bahus; there will be four bahus in this house there are no guarantee that they will all get along."

Aarti said "I think we should all take this one step at a time right now our eldest daughter refuses to marry let us not push her and then we will regret later; but right now let us concentrate on settling down our three teenagers into collage life. Yes they will be staying in their second home with very overprotective parents and grandparents but it is still our job to make sure they have everything that they need." And the rest of the adults agreed

In the kids room "Didis I will miss you all so much to go shopping, the movies all our talks" said Aarushi, Pooja and Vidya also agreed

"Girls you all have each other and Vidicka didu to share everything don't forget that mama to is very good at listening, understanding and loves all of us very much."

"So only your sisters you will miss I am nobody to you three" pouted Ansh

"Bahyia of course we will miss you our very own big strong body guard" they teased

"Hello don't I also protect you three am I not your bhayia too and what about Aayan we don't exist" complained Aayu

"Okay we love all our brother very much, but Aayu bhayia you and Aayan will be with us we will see and speak to you all everyday not to mention tease and play with you both but Ansh bhayia will be in Mumbai with didis and we will only communicate through skype."

Vedant and Vedicka came into the room and they heard the ending of the conversation "So I guess I also don't count no one loves us Vedicka" complained Vedant pretending that he is hurt

"Bhayia I love you" answered Vedicka "But our younger siblings don't love us" she too pretended to be hurt.

Ansh complained "everyone in this family is a drama queen" laughing loudly earning a tap on his head from Vedant

"Bhayia we love you and Vedicka didi too" said the youngest kids" but when you get married Bhayia you will have to love bhabhi first, and didu will have jiju and their family to love forgetting us" said Vidya

"Out of the mouth of babies" answered Vedant continuing "well I won't be marrying anytime soon so I still have a few years to give all my attention to my younger sisters and brothers"

"And I also don't plan to marry anytime soon so I have enough time to love and guide my younger sisters and brothers"

Aarya stood looking at their kids smiling and teasing each other "Aarti when did they grow up from our cute little babies?"

"Yashu time passes by quickly our three eldest are off to college Aayu is now a teenager and the youngest two are becoming worldlier about their surroundings. You and I are becoming old"

"Old not me I am still young and hot and you my wife is still the most beautiful woman in the world to me" and he claimed her lips

"MBKK even at this age you two have no shame or respect for your elders no wonder the two oldest are defying us against marriage"

"Bua ji it is not right to force one's opinion on another remember what happened to me when we were duped by Aripta and her parents. I was separated from my Aarti and Anshu for five long years. When the children thinks that they are mature enough to handle marriage they will tell us."

Aarya left buaji complaining to god and went to their room they may have become older but their love and desire for each other had only grown with time, they loved spending some private time in their room during the day their family knew and respected their privacy.

Aarya had been through so much in their marriage with their G3 ma, buaji, kids, problems with work, the brothers all demanding from their father at one point to share the business and property because SP was favoring Yash's sons over Vedant. The teenaged Palak and Payal at school were teased because they did not resemble their parents or Ansh bhayia and the kids told that they were step kids adopted from poor families, or that their papa had an affair with another woman. The school kids repeated what they heard at their homes from their family. Ansh tried his best to defend his sisters but the mean girls just got meaner out of jealousy. They said that Ansh will marry one of his so call sisters because they [the girls] were cheap s**ts like their mother or a goal digger after wealth. That their real father did not want their s**t mother or them so he dumped them on the Scindhias who considered them charity as cases.

The girl begun acting out they became disrespectful shouting that no one loved or cared for them, that AarYa are just pretending to love them because they want to look good in the eyes of the public that they are humanitarians taking in homeless girls and educating them.

Aarya took the help of Aaman to explain to the teenage girls about his relationship with Aripta, how they ended up living with the Scindhias. Aaman tried explaining that when they were younger all the adults in the two families thought it was in the girls best interest that they continue living with AarYa who love them so very much and always thought of them as the daughters and will continue to do so until their dying day.

Yash and Aarti also tried their best to explain to the girls and Ansh that they are siblings and nothing anyone says and do will ever change that; that the girls will live with them until they get married and even after that their home will also be with them their first family with their brothers, and parents.

Finally the girls understood and accepted that this was their life, their past what their biological mother, and nana, nani did is of no reflection on who they are. Their Yash papa, Aarti mama have taught them to respect all people and to understand the different thinking's of individuals; not to steal, cheat and lie.

Aarya did not want to send their babies to boarding school as suggested by G3, Maya, and Pankaj so they just got them admitted to another school in the area where Aarti and Ansh first lived with the Dubeys. There the kids were much poorer but they were nicer to them because they knew nothing of their past or family, and Ansh and his sisters never showed off their wealth. In this school the kids flourished because there was no added stress in their lives because they had nothing to prove to anyone or themselves.

Aarya donated new computers, library, and sport equipment for the school they also became active in the PTA and eventually had their remaining kids transferred to that school.

The day arrived for the kids to leave for Mumbai Aarya accompanied them the family were greeted by Aaman Joyce their kids and Aaman's parents. After the three kids were settled in with Aaman's family, Aarya went to their home in Mumbai to spend the next few days until the kids settled in college.

Both Yash and Aarti were in their early forties but they appeared much younger; because they kept themselves fit and healthy. They had youthful sexy bodies like fashion models. The Mumbai night life suited them just fine, throughout the years they had learn to enjoy going to clubs dancing the night away although there partook in no alcoholic beverages they still had a good time.

Their private time in their home saw them enjoying in almost every room their passionate lovemaking. They were a normal couple who had fights over silly and sometimes serious issues but they were mature enough to admit when they were wrong and apologize.

Women kept trying to get Yash's attention both at work and through their socialization many did not care that he was married and some wanted to openly end his marriage to Aarti through their bold statements and actions. But Aarti never doubted Yash's love for her and she continued being herself making her Yash and family very proud of her; she was envied and the real nasty ogling ladies who just wanted her Yash would make up stories that Aarti was having affairs with rich clients that is why their business was flourishing. Yash and the Scindhias stood firm in their support of Aarti because they knew the truth.

One of their favorites pass time was enjoying in their hot tub relaxing talking and enjoying their foreplay finally making love then continuing their passionate encounter on their bed.

Yash knew how much his wife loved receiving gifts but unlike most women she loved the simple tasteful gifts that were given from the heart, instead of expensive gifts showing off to the world how much wealth and status her husband had.

In Mumbai they loved going to the beach with their kids or alone enjoying their walk holding hands or on their waist enjoying the scenery eating roast corn or drinking coconut water. This time they enjoyed their being alone as a couple but laughed when they remembered their kids complaining and teasing them that papa only wants to romance mama, and that no other papa with teenage kids still romance their wives especially in front of their kids.

Aarti loved playing in the rain and no matter how much Yash tried to stop her citing that she will become ill or that she is too old for this it did not stop her and he too would eventually find himself joining her in the rain; only because a hot steamy shower will follow after leading to a more adult playtime. This time too in Mumbai she just could not resist enjoying the rain as they returned home from their after diner stroll she danced jumped like a kid enjoying in their garden she teased her hot hubby who's clothes were plastered on to his muscular body she did not mind that her dress was also clinging to all her curves she was enjoying herself celebrating her love for life with her handsome hubby, who was mesmerized by her beauty. Yash had have enough of this teasing so he back hugged his wife placing kisses on her neck and exposed shoulders then scooped her up into his arms and carried her to their room into their washroom for continuation of their passionate playtime.

Yash and Aarti stayed the first week of their kids' college enrollment in Mumbai ensuring that all was well with them.

Joyce was so happy to have them with that she started spoiling them like she does on their visits during the holidays. The twin boys were happy to have their Ansh bhayia and naughty older didis to help play pranks on their parents, and grandparents.

AarYa left for Bhopal confident with the knowledge that they kids were in safe hands.

Part B

Five years had passed it was wedding time for Pankaj and Vidhi's oldest kids Vedant and Vedicka they were having a double wedding their future spouses were also a brother and sister who were both successful doctors.

True to her word Vedicka held out for love marriage, she met her husband Kunal during a party of one of her collage friends and they had an instant attraction for each other. They met a few more time with their collage crowd, they went out a few times on dates before Kunal had his parents sent a marriage proposal. Vedicka being close to her Aarti chachi told her first about Kunal. Aarti mentioned it to Yash who started his investigation of the boy before informing Pankaj and Prateek. Kunal's family were middle class his parents were teachers in the government school the Scindhia kids attended; they also lived in Aarti's old neighborhood. They liked what they found out about the family but the boy had an older sister who was not married she too was a doctor. They girl is beautiful but she was more interested in succeeding as a heart surgeon than marriage and family. Kunal sister Kamala was thirty two one month younger than Vedant

When the Scindhias received the proposal they spoke to Vedicka and Vedant explaining that it is time Vedant get married and settle down with his own family and being the eldest he should get married first.

They told Vedicka that they found out that Kunal has an unmarried older sister and they were going to send a marriage proposal for her and if her parents accept they want a double wedding; that Vidicka will only marry Kunal if Vedant agrees to marry also.

Vedant was in a fix he did not want to get married he enjoyed his freedom too much and the attention of the various ladies, but he loved his sister and family more so he agreed. Kunal sister also was not interested but she oved her brother and family more so she agreed; meeting Vedant before the engagement to clarify a few things as it turned out they too had similar minded so their wedding was planned.

AarYa's three oldest kids had completed their studies and were home enjoying their holidays before starting to work in the family business.

While Aayu was enjoying himself before collage he choose to stay back in Bhopal for his first degree then he will complete in Mumbai he too wanted to be a successful businessman like his papa.

While the sixteen years old twins planned to become accountants like their mama and Vidya a lawyer like her Pankaj papa while Pooja chose to follow her Pari mama dreams of being in television and radio hosting successful shows.

SP was proud of all his kids and grandkids and supported their decision but G3 and Maya in their seventies still could not fully accept all this modern thinking of an educated working woman who wanted to continue working full time after marriage, and the daughters openly saying to their elders that they want to wait until they feel that they are ready.

After the kids collage were completed Yash finally revealed to Aarti that he had an unspoken fear that the girls would want to remain in Mumbai with Aaman and Joyce. Aarti told him she had suspected the same but if the girls wanted to stay that there was nothing that they could do about it except support their decision and continue to love them. Aarti made Yash understand that they will eventually marry and move away from them one day.

Flash back a week before the kids graduation from collage

Aarya and their entire extended family, also Aaman and his family were in attendance in the collage grand hall observing the graduation ceremony held on three different days because of the different areas of study the kids choose when it was their kids turn the emotional parents could not contain their tears of joy how proud they were of their kids evident in their body language. At the party held after for the kids and their friends the parents made sure their kids had a grand time celebrating their success they met a few boys and girls who made it clear that they were very interested in Ansh, Palak, and Payel must to the annoyance of the protective papa Yash, but the Scindhias kids had no interest in marriage they wanted to work and enjoy life first like their older cousins this made Yash one very happy papa.

End of flashback

All the Scindhia ladies went shopping for the wedding and of course the men were there to pay the bills and carry the shopping's.

G3 although she was in her late seventies she was very energetic and she demanded a grand wedding for the kids with all the traditional/rituals since she had be waiting for this wedding for many years now.

Maya as usual had to complain that the family was too poor for the kids that they can do much better than that.

SP was proud of their choice and extremely happy that he lived long enough to see a grandchild's wedding now it was a double wedding.

The celebrations begun all had a good time even the Dubeys got invited to the wedding as friends of the family; Prashant and Neha had two kids a boy nineteen and a sixteen year old girl. All the rituals completed only the welcoming home which the Scindhias ladies took pride in welcoming their first bahu into the family; as per G3 instruction the following day they had the completion of the rituals; but to everyone's surprise the new bahu knew how to make tasty sweet dish.

Aarya now in their late forties still maintained their youthful body Yash was a health freak and Aarti too had become one, they never got tired of romancing each other, especially now that all their kids were almost all grown up. Aarya enjoyed going on romantic holidays together and they encouraged the brothers and their wives to also go on dates and holidays, staying at home doing house work and working part time was not all that to keep a marriage fresh and exciting. Vidhi knew that first hand when she had lost Pankaj interest in her for almost three years he kept away and they lived separate lives but under the same roof.

Just as time passed and Aarya became more mature and content in their undying love for each other; their love making also evolved giving each other new heights of passion. They became bolder more daring in their passionate encounter.

Five years later it was time for another double wedding Palak and Payel found their princes' two cousin brothers living in the same house they belonged to a wealthy Bhopal business family and ironically they were also from the first school the girls went to where they were harassed as kids, and their sisters were part of the mean girls group; the young men knew of their past and did not care, they met them again as adults and fell in love asking their parents to send marriage proposals to the Scindhias for the girls.

The Scindhias made a condition known to the boys and their family if anyone in that family harass the girls they would immediately return home, if the abuse is physical they will report the matter to the police. Any type of abuse and the girls will not return there if the boys honestly love their wives and want to continue the marriage they will live with the Scindhias until a new house could be bought for the girls. None wanted the girls to be abused or feel any type of rejection they faced enough during their growing years from family, relatives and so called friends. Aaman was even more determine that if that happens his girls would live with him, Joyce and their brothers in Mumbai.

The wedding with all it pre wedding rituals was held in a large famous wedding resort; two of Bhopal's wealthiest families were joining through marriage, it was a grand event.

Before the girls left their dressing rooms the family spent some time together the siblings were all teasing their sisters about their married life and the three brothers said if their jiju only abuse them they will be coming there for their sister and bring her home.

Aarya reminded the girls that they will only be a couple of miles away and try their best to be good wives, bahus and sisters; to remember their traditional teachings and practice it, also learn the traditions of their husband's family and practice it, make sure and remember their manners and represent their parents well. They told them how much they love them and that they will always have a home in SM with their family.

The twins told that they are still working for their family's business so they will see them often and they will call and speak to their mama and papa every day.

Aarya told don't call to often because they don't want any problems with their saas who might use that to cause a problem in their marriage, the girls agreed Yash told at least the two of you will be together in that house and he thanks god that there will be no other bahus to cause friction among you.

The twins looked magnificent in their wedding lehenga and their mehandi hands and feet Aarti had tears in her eyes she was so happy and proud of her daughters as she escorted them to the mandap to take the most important vows of their lives with their life partners.

Aarya together with Aaman and Joyce stood proudly and took part in the kanyadan

During the reception the guest spoke about how the brides have two set of parents; how the mothers want to out dress the daughters because the Scindhias ladies were very well maintained sexy ladies with grown up kids.

Yash was so happy his babies have found good husbands that the jealous remarks by the guest did not bother him in fact he felt proud that his Aarti could still make heads turn, and he is secure in their love.

They did the farewell ceremony with the girls and Aarti shedding tears for Aarti she remembered the innocent five year old girls she fell instantly in love with, the shy babies whom both she and Ansh got to break their shell and become her naughty loveable babies, the confident women of today. Her two beautiful Princesses who loved spending time with her learning new things, holding on to her pallu or her hand tugging her to look at something or to see what mischief Ansh was up too, and as they grew up sharing everything with her. The brave strong intelligent older sisters to the younger siblings, the ones the younger daughters look up to for advise when they are afraid to approach their mothers. Aarti hugged and kissed her babies until Yash had to hold her giving the girls time to enter the car with their husbands.

Yash said his goodbye to his twin girls he may not be their biological father and had a rocky start in loving them but when he allowed himself to he never stopped. They are his daughters and he is so very proud of them which he told them every chance he got his parting words were I love you always and remember your parent's home is always open too you; be good and continue to make us proud.

At SM in AarYa room they comforted each other as best they could by expressing all their emotions through their love making .Afterwards reminiscing their life together their kids and Laughing two married four to go.

Three years later SP, G3, and Maya were well in their eighties but they were still active and mentally alert; there was once again another celebration in the SM this time the double wedding of Ansh and Aayu they were getting married to two sisters orphans their dadiji is Radha and their parents were Akash and Ishita who died in an accident and the girls grew up with Radha in the poorest area of Bhopal because their nanai and nana did not want them around because Ishita defied them on two occasions first by marring a poor man [Akash], then returning to him after their two year separation and giving birth to another daughter.

Ansh met Priya and her younger sister Indira on a visit to a home for unwed mothers and their kids, he had accompanied his ma and the girls were with Radha who had become a good friend of Aarti. The girls were hard working and got scholarships to school and college they both chose teaching as their profession. SP was grateful for what Akash and Radha did for Aarti and Ansh all those years ago and he was impressed as how humble Radha and the girls were so he agreed for the double marriage. Aayu knew Indira from college abd he liked her from them she was different from the other girls and was not easily impressed.

Ansh liked Priya a lot the shared the same hobbies and she reminded him of his mama when she becomes angry.

The wedding day was beautiful; the boys looked like princes, tall and handsome just like their papa waiting for their princess to enter the mandap for their wedding. Aarya stood proudly observing their sons marry two girls whom they liked a lot and would fit into their family semi traditional ways they will be the perfect working bahu and mother.

Yash held his Aarti hands he was so proud they did a good job with their kids, all were educated responsible adults now only the Aayan and Arrushi to find suitable match to marry because the hunt was on for match for Pooja and Vidya..Aarya's twin was in no hurry to marry.

Palak and Payel both had baby boys one year old; Vedant had his son and daughter, and Vedicka also had a boy and girl.

Aaman and Joyce twin sons were twenty two and following in their father and dada ji footsteps working in their family's business.

After all the post wedding rituals the kids went off on their honeymoon while Aarya took Aayan and Aarushi off on a family holiday

Even though Aarya was now in their early fifties they still enjoyed spending time together romancing their kids knew and understood their parents love for each other and they playfully teased them at every opportunity they got.

In their hotel room "Yashu thank you for coming into my life and giving me six wonderful kids and now we have the grandkids to look forward too"

"My beautiful Aaru I should thank you for the wonderful life you have given me you turned me from an arrogant young man to the loving understanding husband and father of today. You are my life my support my true life partner. I love you my darling now and forever"

"And you are also my life support my true life partner and I love you for now and forever my darling Yashu" They stood holding each other looking at the night with its beautiful full moon lighting up their lives guiding them always to each other

The End.
