After that incident, Sukoon avoided Agastya the whole day. He was trying to talk to her but she was too embarassed to even face him.

In the afternoon, Sukoon was chit chatting with Anand Dadu and Rekha Dadi when Agastya came and sat there. He very badly wanted to clear everything. He was continuously staring at her. But Sukoon was avoiding eye-contact with him as the morning kiss was coming to her mind again and again.

"Umm.... Aap sab baatein karo. Main aati hoon." Said Sukoon and left from there making Rekha Dadi and Anand Dadu confused.

Agastya made a sad face as Sukoon left. He was scared thinking that she was hating him for doing that with her.

"Tum dono ka jhagra hua kya?" Asked Rekha Dadi as she was noticing them since morning. They both were behaving weird.

Agastya sighed and nodded in no.

"Jhagra hona iss se behtar hai. At least baat kar ke solve toh kiya jaa sakta hai. Yaaha toh aisi situation hogayi hai, Sukoon mujhse baat karne mein bhi uncomfortable feel kar rahi hai. Aur kyu na kare? Harkat hi aisi kiyi hai maine. Paata nahi kya soch ke kiss kar liya usse. Waise iss mein kuch galat nahi hai but it should have happened after confession. But I have f*cked up before that. Now she must be thinking what kind of a guy I am..... Nahi. Iss se pehle woh mujhe aur misunderstand kare, I have to confess my feelings to her." He said in his mind.

On the other hand, Sukoon was also thinking about Agastya.

"Haaye, uss se baat karna bhi kitna awkward hogaya hai. Meri hi galti hai. Naa main kaal raat uske paas so jaati aur naa woh mujhe aise achanak se kiss kar leta. Aur yeh Agastya bhi ajeeb hai. Sapna samajh ke kaun kiss karta hai? Pagal! Maine kabhi nahi socha tha ki meri life ki first kiss aisi hogi, itni ajeeb. Waise toh neend mein mujhe accha hi lag raha tha jab woh mujhe kiss kar raha tha...."

Sukoon suddenly frowned at her own thoughts.

"Yeh main kya soch rahi hoon? Nahi. Jo hua galat hua." She said to herself.

Two days passed. Sukoon and Agastya hardly talked to each other. Though they both wanted everything to be normal between them but something was making both of them hesitant. Meanwhile Agastya was doing preparation to propose to Sukoon.

One day, Sukoon went to watch the rebuilding work of their Villa Of Love. In the evening when she returned, she saw her house empty.

"Kaha gaye sab?" She thought. Suddenly Seema Dadi came to her.

"Tu aa gayi? Accha hua. Chal mere saath." She said.

"Kaha?" Asked Sukoon. "Aur baki sab kidhar hai?"

"Sab hi chaat pe hai. Tera wait kar rahe hai."

"Mera wait? Par kyu?"

"Paata lag jayega. Chal toh sahi."

Saying that Seema Dadi took Sukoon to the rooftop. As soon as she went there, she became totally surprised seeing the decorations.

"Yeh sab kya hai?" She asked looking everywhere.

Everyone present there smiled.

Anand Dadu cleared his throat and came forward reading a letter.

"Sukoon, yeh sirf ek naam nahi hai. Yeh woh chiz thi jo main apni life mein dhund raha tha. Bohut saari jagao pe gaya, bohut bhaga, par kahi pe bhi Sukoon nahi mila. Aur phir destiny mujhe tumhare paas le aayi."

Anand Dadu stepped back and Rekha Dadi came forward reading another letter.

"Tumse milna meri life ka best part tha, jo main uss waqt samajh nahi paaya. Isliye toh har waqt tumse dur jaane ki koshish karta tha. Lekin woh har koshish mujhe tumhare aur kareeb laati rahi. Aur iska reason mujhe baad mein samajh aaya."

Sukoon became lost hearing the words. She knew who wrote this. But she couldn't believe that it was actually happening with her.

Rekha Dadi stepped back and Sheela Dadi came forward reading another letter.

"Yeh sab isliye hua taa ki mujhe meri manzil mil sake. Aur meri woh manzil tum ho Sukoon. Mujhe aur nahi bhagna. Mujhe kahi pe theher na. Kuch dino ke liye time pass nahi, apni puri zindagi tumhare saath bitani hai. Anand Dadu aur Rekha Dadi ki tarah eksaath bura hona hai. Jeete jee iss duniya ka saara pyaar tumhe laa ke dena hai. Aur agar marne ke baad bhi koi jahan hai, waha bhi sirf tumhara hoke rehna hai."

Sukoon's eyes became teary.

Seema Dadi stood with others and said reading another letter, "Tumhe sayad samajh aa gaya hoga ki main kya kehna chahta hoon. Haan Sukoon, mujhe tumse mohabbat hogayi hai. Woh mohabbat jo aaj tak kisi se nahi hui. I can't imagine my life without you. Isliye kya tum aap ne dil ki woh special jagah mere naam karogi?"

Seema Dadi stopped and said, "Peeche."

Sukoon made a confused face. Everyone indicated her to look behind. Sukoon understood and turned behind. And the next moment her heart skipped a beat seeing the scene in front of her.

Agastya was sitting on his one knee, holding a beautiful ring.

"Sukoon Saxena, will you marry me?" He asked with a lot of hope.

A beautiful smile appeared on Sukoon's face. It was a magical moment for her. She never imagined that someone would love her like this. She wanted to say yes. But the next moment her smile faded away thinking something.

She looked at the old people who were standing with smiles.

Sukoon took a deep breath and said, "Nahi."

Everyone became shocked and confused as well.

"I can't marry you Agastya. I'm sorry."

Saying that she left from there. She went to her room and started wiping her tears.

"Sukoon!" Said Seema Dadi coming there and Sukoon looked at her.

"Kya tha woh? Tune na kyu kaha usse?" She asked.

"Kyu ki jo woh chah raha hai woh possible nahi hai. Main uss se shaadi nahi kar sakti." Said Sukoon hiding her tears.

"Par kyu?" Asked Sheela. "Bechare ne kitne umeed ke saath propose kiya tha tujhe. Uske aankhon mein tere liye pyaar jhalak raha tha....."

"Paata hai Dadi." Said Sukoon interrupting. "I know that he loves me. Aur sayad main bhi uss se pyaar karti hoon."

"Toh phir shaadi karne mein kya problem hai?" Asked Anand Dadi.

Sukoon sighed and said, "Uss se shaadi karne ka matlab hai uske saath Mumbai mein jaa ke rehna. Kyu ki woh humesha yaaha nahi reh sakta. Aur agar main uske saath Mumbai chali gayi.... Toh aap sab ka kya hoga?"

They couldn't understand what to say. They never thought this way.

"Agastya bohut accha insaan hai. Aur uske saath shaadi karna kismat ki baat hai. Par meri utni kismat nahi. Kyu ki meri kuch responsibilities hai. Main aap logo ko chhor ke, Villa Of Love ko chhor ke, uske saath nahi jaa sakti. Itni selfish nahi ho sakti main."

Rekha Dadi smiled sadly and said, "Lekin Sukoon, hum puri zindagi tere saath nahi reh sakte. Tujhe bhi toh kisi aise insaan ki zaroorat hai jo puri zindagi tera khayal rakhe."

"Maana aap sab humesha nahi rahoge. Par Villa Of Love toh humesha rahega na? Iss duniya mein aur bhi aise parents honge jinko meri zaroorat hogi. Villa Of Love ki zaroorat hogi. Main apni khushi ke liye kaise sab kuch yaaha pe chhor ke chali jaau? Phir mujh mein aur aap ke unn so called apno mein fark kya rahega?"

"Agar rishta dil se juda ho na, toh dur reh ke bhi usse nibhaya jaa sakta hai." Said Seema Dadi.

"Haan Sukoon. Tu aur kab tak sirf humare baare mein sochegi? Ab toh khud ke baare mein soch le." Said Sheela Dadi.

"Agastya ne sirf tujhe nahi, hum sab ko apnaya hai. Uss se behtar ladka tujhe aur kahi nahi milega." Said Anand Dadu.

"Tu humein apni family maanti hai na? Agar teri khud ki family tere liye kisi ko chunti, toh kya tu na kar paati? Soch le, humne Agastya ko tere liye chuna hai aur phir koi faisla le." Said Rekha Dadi.

They all started insisting. Sukoon was in a dilemma. Her heart was telling her ti accept Agastya in her life but brain was reminding her of her responsibilities towards this old people.

"Ab sab samajh nahi rahe, main......" Sukoon suddenly stopped seeing Agastya there. He heard their conversation.

"Agastya..." She uttered.

Agastya came to her and said, "Sukoon tumhe aisa kyu lagta hai ki main tumhe tumhari family se dur kar dunga?"

Sukoon looked down.

"Yeh sach hai ki main kuch hi dino mein wapas jaa raha hoon aur tumhe apne saath le ke jaana chahta hoon. Par aisa nahi hai ki maine inn sab ke baare mein nahi socha. Inhe kabhi kisi chiz ki zaroorat na ho uske liye hum best caretakers hire karenge. Aur hum dono jab chahe Delhi aa sakte hai inse milne. Aur agar iss se bhi nahi hua toh tum ek mahina Delhi mein rehna aur ek mahina Mumbai mein. But at least give our relationship a chance. Main sach mein tumse bohut pyaar karta hoon. Agar tum mujhse bilkool bhi pyaar nahi karti then I understand and I respect your decision. Par agar tumhare dil mein kahi pe bhi thoda sa bhi pyaar mere liye hai, toh iss baar naa mat kehna."

Saying that, he again went on his knee and said, "Sukoon Saxena, will you marry me?"

Sukoon looked at everyone who blinked their eyes indicating her to say yes.

Sukoon smiled whole-heartedly and said, "Yes."

Agastya smiled happily and made her wear the ring. Then he stood up. He was going to hug her but Seema Dadi cleared her throat and he stopped.

"Dekho tum aaj kaal ke couple ho. Isliye shaadi kab karna hai yeh tum dono decide kar lena. Hum bas itna chahte hai ki Mumbai jaane se pehle yaheen pe tum dono ki engagement ho jaaye." Said Seema Dadi.

"Agar dono ko koi problem nahi hai toh." Said Rekha Dadi.

Agastya and Sukoon looked at each other. After thinking for a while, they both agreed.

Later that night....

Sukoon and Agastya were standing at the rooftop.

"Kya soch rahi ho?" Asked Agastya noticing that Sukoon was lost in a deep thought.

"Ab tak jo kuch bhi hua uske baare mein." Replied Sukoon without looking at Agastya. "Agastya, meri life kabhi ek normal ladki ki tarah rahi hi nahi. Shaadi karna, settle hona, yeh har ladki ka sapna hota hai. Par maine kabhi yeh saare sapne nahi dekhe. Jab se Villa Of Love bana, meri duniya iss hi ke ird gird ghumne lagi. Humesha sochti thi ki kaise inn logo ko khush rakhu. Kya karu jis se inko apni family ki kami mehsoos na ho. Kabhi apne baare mein sochne ka mauka hi nahi mila. Aur aaj jab pehli baar apne baare mein soch rahi hoon toh bada ajeeb lag raha hai. Paata nahi kyu."

"Kyu ki tumhe adat nahi hai apne baare mein sochne ki." Said Agastya and Sukoon looked at him.

"Aur tumhari yeh hi baat mujhe sabse acchi lagti hai. Because in my whole life, I have mostly met selfish people.... You know about my past relationship, right? Paata hai waha pe bhi baat shaadi tak pohuch gayi thi. I had built my dream with her. Lekin end moment pe, mujhe paata chala ki usse mujhse pyaar tha hi nahi. Isliye pyaar se darr lagta tha mujhe. But after meeting you I realised what actually love feels like. Isliye tumse ek hi request hai, bakiyon ki tarah tum kabhi mujhe chhorna mat. Main tut jaaunga. Aur iss baar tuta toh phir se jud nahi paaunga."

Sukoon noticed tears in Agastya's eyes. She wiped his tears lovingly and said holding his hands, "Yeh haath maine chhor ne ke liye nahi thama hai Agastya."

Agastya smiled looking at her. They both kept staring at each other for sometime. Soon he closed his eyes and came closer to kiss her. Sukoon immediately moved back feeling shy making Agastya embarassed as well.

"Woh... Sorry.... Main phir se woh.... Mujhe laga ab humari engagement ho rahi hai toh isliye....." Agastya couldn't understand what to say while Sukoon was looking down.

"I should have asked your permission first." He said sadly. "Uss din bhi maine yeh hi kiya. I always make you uncomfortable. I'm really sorry for that."

Saying that Agastya was going to leave when Sukoon said, "Aisa nahi hai."

Agastya stopped and looked at her.

"Haan mujhe uss din ajeeb laga tha. Lekin tumne mujhe kabhi uncomfortable nahi kiya. I always feel more than comfortable around you." Said Sukoon making Agastya happy.

"So......" Agastya took a deep breath and said, "Can I kiss you? Because I really want to. Tum chaho toh maana kar sakti ho."

Sukoon didn't say anything and blushed looking down.

Agastya came closer and asked huskily, "Kya main tumhari khamoshi ko tumhari haan samajh loon?"

Sukoon shyly nodded in yes giving him permission.

Agastya cupped her face and pressed his lips against hers. This time Sukoon also reciprocated. They both kissed each other gently.
