"So how is plan going? ", he enquired her, as he settled himself in the sofa. She sat beside him, "Shhh. No one know that" she stopped him, putting her finger on his lips. She smacked his arms playfully. "It's surprise" she whispered to him. Arjun stepped on the last stair, and saw her playing with Aryaan. She was always been Aryaan friend. They are 17 years friends. They know each other very well. But seeing her close to him made him feel something. Something that made him a new feel.

"Maya.", Aryaan called her as she served the food for Arjun. "What?", She questioned as she kept placing the food on his plate. "Serve me", he ordered like a child. Arjun looked at his brother confused, who is husband here he or him? He is ordering her when she is serving her.

"Aryaan behave", Vandhana chided him, he pouted like a child. He was starving for homemade food, but they are serving as he stayed away from home.

"Maa. I came for a week only. Once I'm gone you can pamper him", he sulked as he tapped the plate. "Don't act much Aryaan. Wait I'll serve you. I had specially cooked your favourites", She said happily as she brought the dal in the bowl to him. She was serving him the foods more than he was capable to eat and the plate could have.

"Bus (Stop). I won't eat this much", he replied as he motioned his hand to stop. "What is this? You wanted me to serve I'm serving but you're not accepting", she sulked like he done a moment before. "Yes. This is bad chachu you are changing your minds so quickly like changing shoes. Don't make my mom suffer", Yash accompanied his mother in team. "Hey right. My beta", Maya hugged him happily.

"O god. Already he would be in her team and now see mom and son is pulling my legs. I am hurt", Aryaan said dramatically as he signed to his heart.

"Okay. Stop all this and have food", Ram Sharma interrupted them. Followed by time went in silence of enjoying the foods.

"So is everything is ready for Surprise?", Aryaan asked once everyone gone away. "Yes", she murmured in his ears so that no one could hear them.

"Okay. Then I am excited for surprise",he said in excitement as he twirled her just like in old days how they would do before their marriage. "Stop this Aryaan. Behave", she chided him gently as she stopped him twirling her more. "Get the things ready", she ordered him getting back into serious.

"Be alert. No one should know this. Especially your brother", she warned him again.

"Okay. Okay. Please don't order again. I know you love him. But these are over", he teased him while she flushed a little hearing him. "Aryaan", she chided him smacking his arms playfully.

"What's the matter Aryaan and you talking about?" Arjun sudden voice startled her, making her jerk. "Oh it's",she stuttered. "It's some memories", she said smiling. "Memories",he inquired again not satisfied with her answer. "It's nothing important", she said diverting the topic as he eyed her suspicious. Maya moved around sometime useless on the room and left to check Yash.

"Chotu", Maya called him. "Haan. Maa",he replied her. "Did you finished homework?", she asked as she took him to her room. "Yes mom. I did", he said sulking. "Chotu. Have this milk",she ordered him giving him milk on his favorite glass. "No. No", he shouted rejecting. "No no's. Drink",she said sternly glaring him fake. "Okay." He sulked making pout face and drank it anyways.

"Okay. Yash beta suno na.",she said secretly on his ears after he drank  the milk and he jumped happily on her lap in which he sat on. "Maa. You're best",he said in response hugging her by necks. Sometimes Maya had this doubt if he is truly Sanjh's child. Not because he was not like her but because of how he tells her maa. Her eyes welled in tears surely she didn't  expected this. "Even you're", she replied him kissing.

"Maa. I'm not girl to be best maa",he accused her. What is this how he changes in moment quickly?. "Teeke beta. I'm sorry",she apologized acting fake. "Apology accepted. Never repeat that",he too acted like her. Oh ! God! She don't have doubt on him as Arjun son on his acting prove that. "I understand my son",she said humble as he smiled proudly.

"Dad." Yash came searching for his father. "Yash. What's the matter?" Arjun asked in concern seeing his son. "Can we go to Maa's house?" He asked with his puppy eyes. They often visit Sanjh house when Yash is in his mood to pay visit. "Hmm. Okay we can go", he readily agreed not knowing their plan. "Where going?" Maya entered the room. "Sanjh home", Yash replied before Arjun open his mouth. He eyed her as his son spoke about Sanjh. But what she spoke is shocked him.

Sharmistha and Shekhar loved their grandson much, and they less told him about Sanjh. As it would spoil his mind of his mother death in unknown age.  "Bacho. It's Sanjh maa house not Sanjh. She is your mother", Maya gently instructed as Arjun looked at her in confusion. She is such a bizarre mystery to him for understand. She tells him she loves him and care his son and talk with his brother. Overall now accept her wife, which girl do these. "Arjun even I thought that. You should take him as Sharmistha aunty might feel lonely  after her daughter death", She suggested. 

"Hmm. I will take him there" He replied. He paused as he looked at her expectantly to saw even she is coming. God. Why is heart wishing for her to come ?

"Bhai. You take him. I am taking my friend today", Aryaan came in the conversation. Arjun was having much doubt now, what was with them to talk after his departure. Why he  feels so jealous of him to be free with her and close than him?  Wasn't it he who keeps away her?

"It's Okay Arjun.  I will stay home", she opened her mouth finally. Maya prepared Yash to go there, and Arjun came there at right time. She bid them good bye. And gone to make her surprise.

It took a long drive to arrive home. As he  kept on talking with his laws. Even it made them to finish dinner over there. Not a moment Maya called him to ask about them wherever.

Why she is not caring him? She is not caring him only even she cares for his yesterday came brother. But him.

You think like that Arjun.

"Yash. We are home", Arjun said as he picked his son in his arms as he was about to sleep in any time. "I'm wake", he said sheepishly while keeping his head on the car seat. It made Arjun to take 10 minutes drag him out their from car. "We are home", Arjun said as he followed Yash after attending a call. There was no light anywhere. He called out every name. No reply. He quickly opened his cell phone torch and searched for Yash. Even he is no where. "Maya" He called her. No response.

He walked to his room as he stumbled to move to his room with much efforts. As he opened his room door. A light came on, and even spot some Candles lighted. "Happy birthday to you", He heard his family singing birthday song for him. As the only candle lights on the room lighted and they holding gave brightness to see their face little much. He saw his son also there on holding.

So everything was planned. But whose plan?
