1 year later..

"You both take care , I have to go on duty", Diya said.

"Yes , we will. You too take care", Tarun said and kissed Diya on forhead.

Diya sat in her car and is off to her office. She is been appointed as SDM and is going to give report to DM.

"Sir , I have given instructions to everyone and I am personally looking after everything",Diya said to DM.

"Ok and ya be present in office at 6a.m in a normal dress. You shouldn't be looking like an officer. We both are going to some local grocery shops and vegetable market for survey. I have got complaints against vendors that they are cheating people",DM said to Diya.

"Ok sir", Diya said and went back to her cabin.

She took her belongings and again went back to her home.

Diya opened the door of her home with her keys and is surprised to see Tarun waiting for her in living area.

"I told you na don't wait for me. Then why are you awake?"Diya asked sitting on the couch.

"You know na ,I can't sleep until you are not beside me in my arms", Tarun said while taking her in his arms.

"Tarunji , you very well know that there won't be any fixed time for me to come back home. Please don't wait for me from tommorow and may be I have to isolate myself from you. I will come in contact with many people so there are high chances of me coming in contact with virus. I don't want to risk yours and Bhavika's life", Diya said looking at Tarun.

"I know Diya and I understand everything.  Just be cautions when you are out. Now come let's sleep", Tarun said.

"Let's go", Diya said.

After changing her clothes both are off to bed.

Next day..

"Let's go Diya", D.M said.

"Yes , sir", Diya replied.

Both the officers went to the main market and started with there checking. They took there two wheelers and went to market just as a normal customer.

Both of them went to different shops and ordered different food items. When they saw the bills and came to know the seller's are cheating the customers, they sealed the shops. Shopkeepers were unaware that both of them are D.M and S.D.M, so they sold the commodities on extreme higher prices.

All over the city, paper has been sticked in which the price list of the articles has been written and no seller is allowed to sell the products higher then the written price.

"I really don't understand sir ,that how can people be so greedy. Even in this tough situation they are thinking about there profits and have no felling for there fellow beings", Diya said after they came back from the market.

"This is the real world Diya. All are  selfish", D.M said.

Diya went back to her cabin and started doing her work, but got disturbed when her phone rang.

"Yes Tarun ji", Diya said as soon as she picked the call.

"One truck has come to our home and they are saying you have given the order to them to put the articles in our lawn", Tarun said.

"Yes Tarun ji , I have given the order for that. Tell them to keep all the products at the backyard and then some cooks will come. I will be back by 2 till then tell them to cook the food. We are distributing the food to the people ", Diya instructed Tarun.

"Ok madam", Tarun said and cut the call.

Diya came back home by 1 and got freshen up but was surprised to see the queue outside her home. Her bodyguards have taken care of hygiene as well as social distancing.

Diya and Tarun started feeding food to the poor people.

"My blessings to you both beta. You are feeding so many people. God bless you", one of the old lady from the group said.

"You have "Heart of Golden "beta", another lady said.

"It is my duty, I am not doing anything great. Eat your stomach full", Diya said and went back inside her home.

She got ready and went back again to her office.

During this whole pandemic , Diya became extremely busy. Her whole day and night were completely dedicated to the people of her town. She would hardly spend time with her family.

On the other side Farhan too got busy in his life. He became C.A 6 months back and now working in a C.A firm.

6 months later..
"Farhan , freshen up and come back soon. We want to talk something very important with you", Farhan's abbu said.

"Ok abbu",Farhan said and went to his room.

"Do you think Farhan will listen to us?", Farhan's ammi asked.

"Yes , he will", Farhan's abbu said.

Farhan came back after half an hour and sat on the couch in front if his parents. Both the husband wife were looking at each other and indicating the other one to speak through there eyes.

"Will you please stop looking at each other and tell me what's the matter?", Farhan asked irritated.

"Farhan is there anyone in you r life?  I mean do you love someone?", Farhan's abbu said in one go.

"What?", Farhan shouted.

"What happened? Why are you shouting?", Farhan's ammi asked.

"Voh...I am just shocked. Why re you people suddenly asking this?", Farhan asked.

"We have seen a girl for you and if you don't have anyone else in your life then we can proceed with this rishta", Farhan's abbu said.

"Abbu , I am still too small for this marriage and I have just started working. I am not ready for marriage yet", Farhan said.

"Seriously Farhan? You and small", Farhan's mom said in  sarcastic way.

"Ok , not too small but still", Farhan tried to convince his parents.

"We are not forcing you Farhan to get married to that girl. We just want you to meet her once and then decide", Farhan's abbu said.

"Ok ,I will meet her and decide", Farhan said while making a pout.

"Ok , I have WhatsApp you the details of girl with her photo , so just check it out and we are meeting them day after tommorow", Farhan's abbu said.

"Ok , but even Diya will come with us. I can't decide it on my own", Farhan said.

"I have already informed her about it. She will be there", Farhan's ammi said.

After dinner when Farhan went to his room , he checked the details of the girls.

Affren Khan:- 25 years old. Computer Engineer by profession and working in an I.T company. Milky white complexion and dark black charcoal eyes.

Farhan's heart beat raised as soon as he saw her photo. She is extremely beautiful just like her name. For him it was a love at first sight just by seeing her photo.

" You are extremely beautiful and now I can't wait to meet you day after tommorow and make yo mine forever", Farhan said while looking at the photo and then fallen asleep.

2 days later..
"Ammi , where is Diya? ", Farhan asked while coming to the living room after getting ready.

"She is coming directly there. Just message her that we are leaving from here. We will meet her at the door of the girls house", Farhan's ammi told him.

Farhan messaged Diya and then they left for Afreen's home. When they reached there Diya is already waiting for them.

"Where are your personal guards?", Farhan asked side hugging Diya.

"I told them not to accompany me. It don't look good when they always tag along", Diya said shrugging her shoulder.

"They are for your safety Diya. Let them accompany you where ever you go", Farhan's dad said.

"Ok appa, now let's go", diya said.

Afreen's family is already waiting for them at the door. Afreen's parents , brother and his wife welcomed Farhan's parents.

Afreen's parents and brother were asking question to Farhan but his eyes were searching for the one with whom he fell in love just by seeing her photo.

" You are the SDM right? Don't mind me asking but how come you are here?", Afreen's father asked.

"She is our daughter and the most important person in Farhan's life. So even her views matter to us", Farhan's dad replied smiling.

Few minutes later Afreen came cladding in pink suit.  That pink suit was enhancing her beauty. The colour of her suit is matching with her cheeks.

Without blinking his eyes , Farhan is looking at her with mouth open. Diya saw him and smirked.

"You can oggle at her later. You are looking like a creep. Close your mouth otherwise flies will enter inside", Diya said smirking.

Farhan closed his mouth and started looking around. Afreen answered all the questions of Farhan's parents and Diya without looking at them. Farhan's parents and Diya are very happy with the way Afreen answered there questions. She is modern but is attached to her roots.

"Now let them both talk to each other", Diya said.

"Ya , Afreen take Farhan with you to your room", Afreen's ammi said.

Farhan went with Afreen to her room. Both sat in silence for 2 minutes.  Farhan is seeing Afreen without blinking his eyes while Afreen's cheeks are burning under his gaze.

"Afreen , I don't know what girl and boy talk in this kind of meetings but I want to tell you everything about me. You know basic things about me but one thing I want to tell you , my parents are very important to me and if we get married your parents will also be same for me. For me your family will just be like mine and after my parents it is Diya and her family. From being my friend she became my sister. I love her and her child Bhavika as my own", Farhan said.

Afreen just smiled hearing him. She could sense the love which Farhan had for his family.

"Do you want to know anything else rather then this?" Farhan asked.

"Can i continue working if we get married?", she asked slowly.

"Ofcourse , you can. Neither I nor my parents have problem with it. We are not narrow minded and it would be great if you utilise your knowledge and be independent", Farhan said smiling.

Afreen smiled hearing this. Then both of them went to the living room. All the eyes were there on them. Both nodded there head in yes.

All became happy hearing them. All congratulated each other.

"Let's fix the date soon for engagement", Farhan's abbu said.

"Will let you know within a day or two", Afreen's abbu said.

"Ok, we will take your leave now", Farhan's ammi said.

Diya laughed looking at Farhan's face. He was looking as if someone has stollen his favourite candy.

"Ok , Afreen take care. Will meet you soon", Diya said and hugged her.

Both Farhan and Afreen were looking at each other.

"Farhan , let's go", Diya said while pulling him with her.

"You can't be my friend. You didn't even let me take her number", Farhan said while making a puppy face.

"Idiot, if someone else would have seen it then you both will be embarrassed. I took her number but now I am not going to give you", Diya said with a smirk.

"You can't be serious", Farhan said shocked.

"What makes you think , I am not serious?", Diya said with a straight face.

"Please yaar", Farhan said but Diya went to her car without paying attention to him.

Diya went to Farhan's home as Tarun and Bhavika will come there now.

"Is it a yes?" Tarun asked as soon as he came inside the home.

"Yes , it is ",Diya replied smiling.

"Oohh buddy, congratulations", Tarun said and hugged Farhan.

"Thank you", Farhan said and smiled.

"Bhavika , ask your buddy party now and baby now your buddy won't have time for you. So , say bye to your buddy", Tarun said with a smirk.

"Why?", Bhavika asked confused.

"He has got a new princess in his life, so now he won't talk much to you", Tarun replied.

"No no princess , it's nothing like that.  You are and will always be my princess. Don't listen to your father", Farhan said while shutting daggers at Tarun.

"You don't believe me then wait I will show you photo of new Princess in your buddy's life", Tarun said while showing Afreen's photo in Diya's mobile.

"No baby , don't listen to your dad",Farhan said horrified.

"Chill buddy and dad stop creating misunderstanding between us. I am and will always be buddy's princess. Now when she will come I will get extra love from her as well. She is getting married to my buddy , so now she is also in my gang", Bhavika said smirking.

Tarun is shocked would be an understatement. He never thought his plan will backfire on him. All the others present there laughed at him.

"Diya, are you sure , she is my daughter?", Tarun asked shocked.

Everyone laughed again.

"I want to tell you all something", Diya said with hesitation.

"Yes beta , tell",Farhan's dad said.

"I am pregnant. 3 months ", Diya said and looked at everyone.

All stood at there place without speaking anything and then Farhan twill her around.

"I am going to be a mamu? Ammi , abbu you both are getting promotion", Farhan said with happiness.

Farhan's mom , dad congratulated her and then she looked at Tarun.

"I am speechless. I don't know what I should say? I am going to be a dad again. Thank you Diya , thank you for giving me this happiness", Tarun said with tears in her eyes and kissed her forehead.

"Today is a double celebration day", Farhan's mom said and feed Diya with a sweet.

"Yes ,it is", Farhan's abbu said.

They all had lunch and then Tarun called his and Diya's parents to give them both the good news. Diya too gave Farhan ;Afreen's number and even she was happy when she heared about Diya's pregnancy.
