The morning sun bathed the Kohli mansion in a warm glow. The family gathered in the living room after breakfast, the air filled with laughter and lighthearted chatter. Namrata and Dhruv had stayed back after the wedding celebrations, and the house was bustling with life.

As the conversation about honeymoon destinations kicked off, Namrata, ever the practical one, was quick to jump in with her thoughts.

Namrata (excitedly):

"Jiji, aapko pata hai na, main Kerala jaane ka soch rahi thi? It's beautiful, peaceful, and just perfect for a honeymoon. Shanti bhi milegi, aur adventure bhi(Sister, do you know, I was thinking of going to Kerala? It is beautiful, peaceful and perfect for honeymoon. You will get peace as well as adventure.)"

Prachi (surprised, smiling):

"Kerala? Tum bhi na, kuch bhi sochti ho(Kerala? You too, don't think anything.)"

Ranbir (chuckling):

"Kerala toh achha option hai. Humne bhi socha tha par... ab toh Prachi ka health bhi thoda sensitive hai(Kerala is such a good option. We also thought this but... now Prachi's health is also a bit sensitive.)"

Namrata, being the bubbly, spontaneous person she was, ignored Ranbir's comment and continued with her idea.

Namrata (enthusiastically):

"Nahi, Ranbir jiju, tumhe mere suggestion deni chahiye thi. Kerala ki backwaters, tea gardens, aur hill stations — kya hi baat hai. Yahan ke sab log bhi jaanate hain, it's so peaceful(No, Ranbir brother-in-law, I need to give you my suggestion. Kerala's backwaters, tea gardens, and hill stations — what is this? Everyone here knows also, it's so peaceful.)"

Raj (interjecting with a smile):

"Namrata, aise na baat karo. Prachi ki health ka khayal rakho. Koi bhi jagah select karo jo unke liye comfortable ho(Namrata, don't talk like that. Take care of Prachi's health. Select any place which is comfortable for them.)"

Namrata (nodding):

"Of course, Papa! Par, you know, I think Kerala will be perfect. It's so beautiful, no media distraction, just nature's calmness(Of course, dad! But, you know, I think Kerala will be perfect. It's so beautiful, no media distraction, just nature's calmness.)"

Ranbir (softly to Prachi):

"Kerala? Agar tumhe yeh theek lagta hai, toh main bilkul ready hoon. Main tumhare saath har jagah chalne ko tayar hoon(Kerala? If it seems okay to you, then I am absolutely ready. I am ready to go everywhere with you.)"

Prachi (hesitant, looking at Ranbir):

"Main thodi hesitant hoon. Kerala achha hoga, but... kya hum wahan jaane ke liye ready hain(I am a little hesitant. Kerala would be nice, but... are we ready to go there?)"

Ranbir (smiling, reassuring her):

"Prachi, tum jo bhi chaaho, main tumhare saath hoon. Agar tum comfortable ho, toh Kerala ek perfect destination hai. Maine tumhare saath apni honeymoon enjoy karni hai, kahin bhi ho (Prachi, whatever you want, I will be with you. If you are comfortable, then Kerala is a perfect destination. I want to enjoy my honeymoon with you, wherever you are.)" 

Prachi smiled at him, feeling reassured by his constant support.

Prachi:

"Okay, let's go with Kerala. I trust you."

Meanwhile, Kairav was sitting on the floor playing with his toy cars, but when he heard about Kerala, his face lit up.

Kairav (excitedly):

"Kerala! Main bhi chalna chahta hoon. Vahan pe main bhi maze karunga(Kerala! I also want to go. I will also have fun there!)"

Kartik (chuckling):

"Beta, tumhare honeymoon ka time abhi nahi aaya hai. Abhi school jaana hai(Son, the time for your honeymoon has not come yet. Have to go to school now!)"

Naira (smiling at Ranbir):

"Kerala ke baare mein humne bhi suna hai, bahut sundar jagah hai. Tum dono ka honeymoon wahan hoga, bahut amazing hoga(We have also heard about Kerala, it is a very beautiful place. Your honeymoon there will be amazing!)"

Kartik couldn't resist joining in, as the whole family burst into laughter at Kairav's enthusiasm.

Babita (looking at Namrata, fondly):

"Namrata, un dono ke honeymoon ke baad, hum Sheetgiri jaane waale hain. Tumhare liye yeh time achha hai, thoda break le lo(Namrata, after their honeymoon, we are going to Sheetgiri. This is a good time for you, take a break.)"

Namrata (nodding eagerly):

"Thank you, Mummy. Maine yeh socha tha ki ek baar Prachi aur Ranbir ko apni shadi ke baad alone time mil jaye. Main thoda ruk jaungi yahan unke saath(I had thought that once Prachi and Ranbir would get alone time after their marriage. I will stay here with them for a while.)" 

Raj (gently placing his hand on Prachi's shoulder):

"Jab tum dono ready ho, hum Sheetgiri chalenge. Tum dono ke liye best wishes hain(When both of you are ready, we will go to Sheetgiri. Best wishes for you both!)" 

The family continued discussing honeymoon plans while Dhruv sat next to them, chiming in occasionally with his own playful suggestions, which mostly involved sun, sand, and beaches.

As the family continued to plan, Ranbir and Prachi decided to book their tickets for Kerala. Namrata excitedly helped with the arrangements, picking out a luxury resort by the backwaters, which was secluded enough for them to relax without prying eyes.

Kartik (to Ranbir):

"Jab humne honeymoon plan kiya tha, Naira aur maine jo jagah choose ki thi, woh perfect thi. Aap dono ka honeymoon bhi bahut special hona chahiye(When we planned our honeymoon, the place Naira and I had chosen was perfect. The honeymoon of both of you should also be very special!)"

Naira (joining in, with a wink):

"Bilkul! Kerala ka charm alag hi hota hai(Absolutely! The charm of Kerala is different.)"

Naitik couldn't hide his excitement at seeing his son start a new chapter in his life. He knew this was a special moment for Ranbir and Prachi, just like it had been for him and Akshara.

Namrata (grinning mischievously):

"Toh, Ranbir jiju, tum dono ko Kerala ka sun set zarur dekhna. Aur Prachi, tum apni wedding dress ke saath beach photo shoot karna mat bhoolna(So, Ranbir brother-in-law, you both must watch the sunset of Kerala. And Prachi, don't forget to do the photo shoot on the beach with your wedding dress!)"

Prachi (laughing, playfully shushing Namrata):

"Namrata, yeh tumne kaise socha? Main abhi toh honeymoon ke mood mein bhi nahi hoon (Namrata, how did you think of this? I'm not even in a honeymoon mood right now.)"

But the entire family kept the mood light and fun, teasing Ranbir and Prachi, knowing that this honeymoon was going to be the start of their new life.

And so, with a plan for Kerala in place, Ranbir and Prachi felt a wave of excitement wash over them. While Prachi remained slightly nervous, she knew that this trip would give them the space to breathe and build new memories, away from the whirlwind of media attention.

Ranbir (whispering to Prachi as they finalized the plans):

"Kerala is going to be amazing. Just us, nature, and peace. It'll be perfect."

Prachi (smiling softly):

"Just us... sounds like everything I need."

The family, too, was happy to see them excited and ready for this new chapter in their lives. As everyone continued with the plans for the day, Kartik and Naira exchanged a look, proud of their children and the new generation of love stories they were witnessing.
