The countdown had begun. With only a few weeks left until the big day, the wedding preparations for Sid and Sana were in full swing. The excitement was palpable as their friends and family worked together to create a truly unforgettable celebration.

A grand hotel in Delhi had been booked for the wedding and pre-wedding ceremonies. The hotel's banquet halls were being transformed into a fairytale setting, with intricate decorations and lavish furnishings. Every detail, from the wedding invitations to the catering, was being meticulously planned by Sid and Sana's friends.

As the wedding date approached, the group decided to take a break and embark on a fun-filled adventure to Agra for their pre-wedding photoshoot. The Taj Mahal, with its breathtaking beauty, provided the perfect backdrop for their romantic and playful photos.

As they stood before the Taj Mahal, a guide approached them, wearing a warm smile.

"Welcome young lovers! As you can see the Taj Mahal, the symbol of eternal love and promises, woh imarat jis ke har kone mein, ek kahani chhupi hai, ishq ki kahani."

Sid and Sana gazed dreamingly at the Taj Mahal, their hands intertwined. The guide continued, "Ishq Mughal Samrat Shah Jahan ka, apni begum Mumtaz Mahal ke liye. Woh apni begum se iss hadh tak mohabbat karte the ki unke marne ke baad unki yaad mein unhone yeh Taj Mahal banwa daala. Isliye aap ke pre-wedding photoshoot ke liye yeh jagah best hai, kyu ki yaha ki hawaon mein ishq hi Ishq hai...."

Sana turned to Sid, her eyes sparkling with romance. "Toh tune isliye yeh jagah choose kiya tha?"

Sid nodded and said smiling. "Aur nahi toh kya? Akhir humara ishq bhi Shah Jahan aur Mumtaz se kam thodi hai?"

Sid pulled her closer while Sana playfully rolled her eyes. "Shah Jahan ne na Mumtaz ke liye Taj Mahal bana diya. Tu mere liye kya kar sakta hai?"

"Sochne de...umm... Harry Potter wala kinder joy chalega?"

They both started giggling while Sana slightly hit his stomach with her elbow.

"Main mazak nahi kar rahi." Said Sana further and looked at the Taj Mahal. "I really wish hum uss era mein paida hue hote aur uss ishq ko mehsoos kar paate."

"Abhi bhi kar sakte hai. Bas imagine hi toh karna hai. Soch tu Mumtaz, main tera Shah Jahan, aur saamne yeh Taj Mahal, bilkool waisa ka waisa."

As Sid and Sana kept standing there, Sid's one hand wrapped around Sana's shoulder, their eyes met, and they became lost in their own little world. They imagined themselves as Shah Jahan and Mumtaz, dressed in traditional attire, walking towards each other.

Dekho toh kya hi baat hai (kya hi baat hai)
Kambakht is jahaan mein (is jahaan mein)

Sana envisioned herself draped in intricate silk fabrics, adorned with precious jewels, her dark hair styled in an elegant updo. Sid, on the other hand, pictured himself wearing a regal white sherwani, his eyes gleaming with adoration as he approached his beloved.

As they walked towards each other, their eyes locked in a loving gaze. The Taj Mahal stood majestically behind them, its marble surfaces glowing golden in the sunlight. The monument seemed to symbolize their own eternal love, a love that transcended time and circumstance.

Yeh ishq hai jisne isey (jisne isey)
Rehne ke qaabil kar diya (kar diya)
Rehne ke qaabil kar diya

"Guys ab ek dusre mein khoye hi rahoge yaa photoshoot bhi karna hai?" Reem's voice broke Sid and Sana's imagination and they came back to reality.

"Waise bhi shaadi ke baad time hi time milega, tab khote rehna ek dusre mein." Said Kabir teasingly and the whole group started making Sid and Sana's ears turn red in embarassment.

The photoshoot began, and Sid and Sana posed together in front of the Taj Mahal's majestic dome. They stood hand in hand, their eyes locked on each other as the camera clicked away.

Roshni hi roshni hai
Chaar-soo, jo chaar-soo
Ishq hai yeh, ishq hai
Ishq hai yeh, ishq hai

Next, they moved to the reflecting pools, where Sid twirled Sana around, her laughter echoing through the air. The camera captured their joyful moment, the sun shining down on them.

Jo chhupa hai har nazar mein
Har taraf jo roo-ba-roo
Ishq hai yeh, ishq hai
Ishq hai yeh, ishq hai

As they strolled through the gardens, Sid picked Sana up, spinning her around in a circle. She squealed with delight, her hair flying around her face. The photographer snapped away, capturing their carefree moment.

Ishq hai yeh, ishq hai
Ishq hai yeh, ishq hai

During a break, Sid and Sana sat together on a bench, gazing out at the Taj Mahal. Sid took Sana's hand, his fingers intertwining with hers. "I'm so grateful for this moment," he whispered, his eyes filled with love.

Sana's heart skipped a beat as she met his gaze. "Me too," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper.

"Kisne socha tha hum kabhi aisa honge?" She added further not being able to believe at her destiny.

"Maine socha tha." He said confidently, his eyes fixed at her.

"Accha Ji?" She asked raising her eyebrow and then they both smiled blissfully.

Tum se mile toh kuchh gunguni si
Hone lagi hain sardiyaan (ishq-ishq, ishq-ishq)

Their eyes fell on their friends who were busy in themselves. Kavya was feeling cold while Kabir gave her his jacket like a gentleman, they looked at each other, sharing a beautiful moment. Ashi was busy giving ideas of how the next photoshoots should be done while Randeep was busy adoring her. Reem was taking a lot of selfies with Kartik who was doing it without complaining, just to make her smile.

Sid and Sana felt happy, not only for themselves but for their friends as well who got their own true love.

Tum se mile toh dekho shehar mein
Khilne lagi hain waadiyaan (ishq-ishq, ishq-ishq)

The photographer called out, "Okay, let's get some romantic shots!" Sid and Sana stood up, their arms wrapping around each other. They shared a tender kiss as the camera clicked away.

Saaya mera hai tu aur main tera

As the sun began to set, casting a golden glow over the Taj Mahal, Sid and Sana posed together on the stairs. Sid's arms cradled Sana, holding her close as they gazed out at the breathtaking view.

Tu dikhe ya na dikhe tu
Teri khushboo koo-ba-koo

Sid and Sana posed together at every nook and corner of the Taj Mahal, capturing memories through photos and videos. Their romantic and playful banter continued, filling the air with laughter and love as they enjoyed every moment together.

Ishq hai yeh, ishq hai
Ishq hai yeh, ishq hai

Their love shone brightly, radiating from every pose, every glance, and every kiss. The Taj Mahal, the symbol of eternal love, stood witness to their romance, a reminder of the love that would last a lifetime.

Ishq hai yeh, ishq hai
Ishq hai yeh, ishq hai

As the sun dipped below the horizon, Sid and Sana settled into their car for the journey back to hotel. The pre-wedding photoshoot had been a resounding success, and they were both exhausted but exhilarated.

As the car glided smoothly along the highway, Sid turned to Sana with a gentle smile. "Pre-wedding photoshoot hogayi, kuch hi dino mein wedding bhi ho jayegi. Aap ready toh hai na Mrs. Shukla ban ne ke liye?"

"I think I should reconsider...." Said Sana pretending to think deeply making Sid scared for a moment.

But she failed to act for long and burst into laughter seeing Sid's expression. "Pagal, yeh bhi koi sawal hai? You know it feels like a dream come true. I'm so grateful to have you in my life, Sid."

Sid's heart swelled with emotion as he took Sana's hand in his. "I'm the lucky one, Sana. You're the love of my life, and I promise to always cherish and protect you."

Sana smiled hearing that.

Haan, koyi kehta, ishq humein aabaad karta hai
Koyi kehta, ishq humein barbaad karta hai

As they talked, the stars began to twinkle in the night sky. Sana's eyelids grew heavy, and she leaned her head against Sid's shoulder.

Zehan ki tang deewaaron se uthkar

Sid wrapped his arm around her, holding her close. "Tired?" he whispered.

Sana nodded, her voice barely audible. "Mmm-hmm..."

Sid smiled and gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. He loved the way she fit perfectly into the crook of his shoulder, the way her breathing slowed as she drifted off to sleep.

As the car continued on its journey, Sid sat there, holding Sana close, feeling grateful for this moment, for this love, and for the future they were about to build together.

Main kehta hoon, ishq humein aazaad karta hai

The pre-wedding ceremony preparations began, and it was the day of engagement. The atmosphere was filled with excitement and joy.

Kabir and Kavya were busy decorating the stage with flowers. As Kavya was arranging the flowers, some of them fell from her hands. Kabir rushed to help her, and as they both bent down to pick up the flowers, their eyes met.

Moh pe yeh karam bhi keeje

Kavya couldn't help but stare at Kabir, thinking about how beautifully he had changed after their relationship. He was no longer the same carefree Kabir; he had become more caring and responsible.

Moh pe yeh karam bhi keeje

Ashi and Randeep were sitting on the sidelines, watching the chaos of the preparations. Randeep sneakily held Ashi's hand, and she felt shy, trying to free her hand. But Randeep held on tight, giving her a cute smile. Ashi's face turned bright red as she tried to hide her smile.

Laage naahi tum bin jiyaara
Aisi bekhudi hi deeje

Reem, dressed in a beautiful lehenga for the engagement, walked up to Kartik, who was busy setting up the music system. She asked him how she looked, and Kartik gave her a big smile, using hand gestures to praise her. Reem blushed and playfully hit Kartik's arm.

Moh pe yeh karam bhi keeje

As the preparations continued, the excitement for the engagement ceremony grew. Sid and Sana were getting ready, and their friends were eager to celebrate their special day. The atmosphere was filled with love, laughter, and joy, and everyone was looking forward to the celebrations ahead.

The ring ceremony was a beautiful and intimate moment, filled with love and emotion. Sid and Sana stood on the stage, surrounded by their closest friends and family.

Sid took Sana's hand, and with trembling fingers, he slid the ring onto her finger. Sana's eyes sparkled with tears as she gazed at the ring, now securely on her finger.

Next, Sana took Sid's hand, and with a gentle smile, she placed the ring on his finger. Sid's eyes locked onto hers, filled with love and adoration.

Moh pe yeh karam bhi keeje

As they exchanged rings, their families smiled and gave them blessings. Sid's Dadi wiped away tears of joy seeing her grandson finally getting the love he deserved. Even Vaani Ji was also happy for Sid as Sana fulfilled the emptiness in his life which she never did. On the other hand, Sana's father Vikrant Ji was relieved as his daughter was in safe hands, she got a man who would stand by her, who would protect her at any cost while her Mama Mami felt proud of her choice.

The air was filled with the sound of cheers and applause as the couple stood on the stage, hand in hand, looking at each other with love-filled eyes.

Laage naahi tum bin jiyaara
Aisi bekhudi (aisi bekhudi) hi deeje

The haldi ceremony was a vibrant and joyful celebration, filled with laughter and love. Sana looked stunning in a gorgeous yellow lehenga, her beauty radiating like the bright sunshine. Sid, dressed in a matching yellow kurta, couldn't take his eyes off her.

Before proceeding to the stage, Sid took Sana to a quiet corner, away from prying eyes. With a mischievous grin, he applied the haldi paste on her face, his fingers tracing her features with gentle intensity. Sana's eyes sparkled with shyness as she reciprocated, her touch sending shivers down Sid's spine.

Haan, saara mera hai tu aur main tera

As they stood there, surrounded by the sweet scent of turmeric and sandalwood, Sid's eyes locked onto Sana's, filled with desire and affection. He leaned in, his lips inches from hers, and whispered, "Can I get a kiss from my soon-to-be wifey?"

Sana's face turned a deep shade of pink as she smiled coyly. "You have to wait, soon-to-be hubby. Kyu ki sabar ka fal meetha hota hai." she whispered, before turning around and running away, her laughter echoing through the hallway.

Sid stood there, his eyes fixed on the empty space where Sana had been, a goofy grin spreading across his face. He rubbed the back of his neck, feeling the familiar sensation of being completely smitten. Sana had a way of making him crazy for her, and he couldn't get enough of it.

Yeh hi meri behshatein hain
Yeh hi meri justujoo

As Sid and Sana made their way to the stage, their friends and family eagerly awaited them, armed with bowls of haldi paste. Their friends showered the couple with haldi, covering them in a vibrant yellow hue. Sid and Sana laughed and played along, enjoying every moment of the joyful celebration.

Ishq hai yeh, ishq hai
Ishq hai yeh, ishq hai

Next day, the mehendi ceremony took place, where Sid and Sana sat together, as the mehendi artist intricately designed Sana's hand with beautiful patterns. As she finished her work, Sid and Sana exchanged sweet glances, and with a gentle smile, Sid took Sana's hand and wrote his name on her palm. Sana's eyes sparkled with delight as she reciprocated, writing her name on Sid's palm. The mehendi ceremony was a beautiful symbol of their love and commitment to each other.

Ishq hai yeh, ishq hai
Ishq hai yeh, ishq hai

The evening arrived, and with it, the sangeet ceremony. The atmosphere was electric, filled with music, dance, and laughter. Sid and Sana took to the stage, their friends and family cheering them on. They performed a beautiful, choreographed dance, their movements perfectly in sync. As they danced, their love and chemistry were palpable, and the audience was captivated by their performance.

As the dance came to an end, the lights dimmed, and the sky was filled with a shower of rose petals, raining down on the couple.

Barsi hai mujhpe meher aasmaani
(Barsi hai mujhpe meher aasmaani)

Mohabbat ka dekho asar aasmaani
(Mohabbat ka dekho asar aasmaani)

Sid and Sana stood together, hands clasped, basking in the beauty of the moment. The rose petals symbolized the love and blessings that surrounded them, and as they gazed into each other's eyes, they knew that their love would continue to flourish.

Pairon ke neeche zameen ud rahi hai
(Pairon ke neeche zameen ud rahi hai)
Hai ishq mein har safar aasmaani

Sana stood in her room looking at all her clothes ready in her room her jewelleries and accessories lied down on the bed neatly ...

But before she could get ready for the wedding one more rasam was left ...

The chooda rasam where the bride's maternal uncle has to bring chooda ...

As Sana's mama along with her father came in the room looking at her softly as both her father and father like figure embraced her

As her family head to the nearby gurudwara

Sana's eyes were closed when she wore the chooda and her family covered it with white clothes as to after marriage she allowed to see her chooda

Her mami kissed her head softly ...

Her father looked a t her and then at her late mother's picture

"Humari beti badi hogyi " his eyes glistened softly

......

As Sana gets ready in beautiful bright red colour lehenga with soft white flowered embroidery golden work and a heavy chunari flowed down from her shoulder as her stylist was about to cover her head with another chunar

Her room knocked and her father came in holding a red chunari in his hand

" Papa ye kya hai ? " Sana asked confused and surprised as to her father bring her a red chunari and that too looked old but still the prettiest colour and work

" Teri maa ki chunar hai. .. usne hmari shaadi ke din apne sir par rkhi thi ... Sabse pyaari lag rhi thi ... Ab wo toh nhi hai tujhe ashirwaad dene ke liye. ..lekin ... " He gently opens the chunar and covers herself head

"Ye uska ashirwad hai tere liye"

Sana smiled gently and hugged her father who tapped on her back gently his eyes moist ...

On the other hand as Sid excitedly looked at himself as he wore his wedding turban

Kabir along with his mother entered in his room as Vaani ji looked at Sid who held a formal smile

She herself hesitated a bit before passing him the kalgi .. (to be applied over the turban)

" Aap hi lga do .. maa " ... Sid hesitated as he called her maa Vaani ji who smiled finally stepping towards him

As she applied the kalgi caressed his turban and gently kissed his head ...

" Khush rho beta "

Sid nodded as Kabir hugged him

" Ab toh tu paraya ho jayega "

" Arey aise kaisee ... Iski biwi meri hone wali biwi ki behen hai ... Maar pad waunga agr paraya kra toh "

Randeep said entering the room along with the dhol as all of them danced

" Aaj mere yaarrr ki shaadi hai " Randeep and Kabir yelled on top of their voices Sid giggled happily ..

........

As Sid patiently waits to see his bride his eyes stucked to the aisle waiting for her walk towards him ....

Sid's jaw dropped as soon as Sana entered the lobby her one hand held by her father and another her mama as Sana giggled happily looking at Sid whose eyes widen she looked heavenly

Tum se mile toh baithe-bithaayein
Chhoone lage hain aasmaan (ishq-ishq, ishq-ishq)

A smile apppeared over his face as Sana walked to him Sid leaned down her hand and kissed her head softly ...

" So .... Wifey ? "

" Yes ... Hubby " ... Sana giggled

As they performed the wedding rituals they remembered their old moments, their first meet at the school corridor, their silly fights, then those cute and fun banters, those beautiful moments which they shared together and got to know each other better, those hidden feelings, unspoken emotions, then their love confession and now finally they were getting married. Everything was so magical and it felt like...

Dreams come true ❤️

Tum se mile toh chhota sa qissa
Banne ko hai ik daastaan (ishq-ishq, ishq-ishq)

As Sid and Sana stood before the sacred fire, they gazed into each other's eyes, their hearts overflowing with love and commitment. They stood up and prepared to take the sacred vows.

The priest began to chant the ancient mantras, and Sid and Sana started their journey around the fire, taking the seven sacred steps together. With each step, they vowed to stand by each other, to support and love each other, through every up and down of life.

Haan, saaya mera hai tu aur main tera

As they walked, their friends, Kabir and Kavya, Randeep and Ashi, and Reem and Kartik, stood beside them, showering them with marigold petals. The delicate, golden flowers rained down on the couple, symbolizing the blessings and good wishes of their loved ones.

Tu dikhe ya, tu dikhe ya

Their family members, too, joined in the celebration, throwing petals and cheering as Sid and Sana completed their pheras. The air was filled with laughter, tears, and the sweet scent of marigolds.

As they finished their vows, Sid turned to Sana, his eyes shining with love and adoration. He took the mangalsutra, a sacred necklace symbolizing their union, and gently tied it around Sana's neck. The gold pendant glimmered in the light, a reminder of their eternal bond. Next, Sid took a pinch of vermillion powder and gently applied it to Sana's hairline, a traditional symbol of a married woman.

Tu dikhe ya na dikhe tu
Teri khushboo koo-ba-koo

As he did so, Sana felt a surge of emotions, a mix of happiness, love, and a sense of belonging.

Ishq hai yeh, ishq hai (ishq hai)
Ishq hai yeh, ishq hai

Ishq hai yeh, ishq hai
Ishq hai yeh, ishq hai (ishq hai)

In that moment, Sid and Sana felt an intense connection, a sense of oneness that went beyond words. They knew that they were meant to be together, that their love was a once-in-a-lifetime chance at happiness.

Ishq hai yeh, ishq hai
Ishq hai yeh, ishq hai

Ishq hai yeh, ishq hai (ishq hai)
Ishq hai yeh, ishq hai

As they gazed into each other's eyes, the world around them melted away, leaving only the two of them, lost in the depths of their love.

......................

A few days later, Sid inserted the key into the lock and turned it, opening the door to their new apartment. He stepped aside, allowing Sana to enter, but instead, he gently stopped her.

"Wait," he said, a mischievous glint in his eye.

Sana looked at him quizzically, wondering what he was up to. Sid smiled and went inside, only to come back after sometime and placing a wooden frame in front of her where he would take her foot imprint.

Sana's eyes widened in understanding. "Griha Pravesh!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with excitement.

Sid nodded, his eyes shining with love. "Apne naye ghar mein aur nayi zindagi mein kadam rakhne jaa rahi hai. Iss rasm ke bina yeh sab kuch adhura reh jayega."

"Toh tu karega mera Griha Pravesh?" She asked giggling.

"Pati hoon tera, itna toh haq banta hai." He said with attitude.

"Hmm..." Sana thought for a while and said, "Dekha jaaye toh naye ghar mein aur nayi zindagi mein hum dono saath mein kadam rakh rahe hai. Toh yeh rasm bhi hum dono ko saath mein karna chahiye."

"Baat toh sahi hai. Ruk main aata hoon."

Sid immediately went and stood beside her, holding her hand. Sana's face glowed with happiness as they carefully placed their feet on the footprint. They balanced on it taking each other's hands' support as the whole room filled with their laughter.

And then they stepped into their new apartment. Sana entered excitedly and Sid followed her, his eyes never leaving hers.

As they entered their new home, Sana couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and accomplishment. They had bought this apartment together, a symbol of their new life as a married couple.

But even as they started this new chapter, they had decided to maintain strong ties with their respective families. They had agreed to live separately, but to visit both families every weekend, ensuring that they remained close to their loved ones.

As they walked through their new apartment, Sana felt a sense of excitement and anticipation. This was their new beginning, a fresh start filled with promise and possibility.

Sid took her hand, his fingers intertwining with hers. "Welcome home, Mrs. Shukla," he said, his voice filled with love and adoration.

Sana smiled, her heart overflowing with joy. "I'm home," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.

And as they stood there, hand in hand, they knew that they were exactly where they were meant to be - together, in their new home, starting their new life as husband and wife.

"Accha humara room uss taraf hai na?" Asked Sana suddenly bringing Sid back who was lost in her.

"Main dekh ke aati hoon."

Sana was about to go but Sid stopped grabbing her hand tightly.

"Aise nahi...."

Saying that, Sid swooped in, picking her up in a bridal style, making her gasp in surprise.

Sana's arms instinctively wrapped around his neck, her heart racing with excitement as Sid carried her towards their room. She couldn't help but feel a sense of romance and excitement, her mind racing with anticipation.

As they entered the room, Sana's eyes widened in wonder. Sid had already decorated the space with candles and rose petals, creating a warm and intimate ambiance. The soft glow of the candles cast a golden light on Sana's face, illuminating her beauty.

Sid gently placed Sana on the bed, his eyes never leaving hers. For a moment, they just stared at each other, the air thick with tension and desire.

Then, without a word, Sid leaned in, his lips meeting Sana's in a passionate kiss. Sana's arms wrapped around him, deepening the kiss as they both became lost in the moment.

The world outside melted away, leaving only the two of them, lost in their own little bubble of love and desire. The candles flickered, casting shadows on the walls as they kissed, their hearts beating as one.

As they kissed, their passion grew, and their bodies seemed to melt into each other. The air was electric with anticipation, and they both knew that this was the moment they had been waiting for.

Sid's hands roamed over Sana's body, tracing the curves of her waist, the swell of her hips, and the softness of her skin. Sana's hands mirrored his, exploring the contours of his chest, the strength of his arms, and the warmth of his skin.

Their kisses deepened, and their breathing quickened. They were lost in the moment, their love and desire for each other consuming them.

As they surrendered to their passion, their bodies became one, their hearts beating as a single entity. The world around them melted away, leaving only the two of them, lost in the depths of their love.

They were no longer two separate individuals but two bodies, one soul. Their love had transcended the physical realm, becoming a spiritual union that would last a lifetime.

As they moved together, their love and passion poured out of every pore, filling the air with an almost palpable energy. They were one, united in body, mind, and spirit.

"I love you!" Said Sid, his words barely above a whisper as he pulled Sana closer who snuggled in his arms.

"I love you too!" She whispered with closed eyes, kissing his heart, as they both fell asleep cuddling with each other.

In that moment, nothing else mattered. Only the love they shared, the passion that burned between them, and the promise of a lifetime of happiness together.

.........................

After 10 years...

The sun was shining brightly as Sana stood in the kitchen, flipping pancakes while recording a vlog for her channel Desi Vibes with Shehnaaz Gill.

Sana's career as an actress and content creator had skyrocketed. Her YouTube channel Desi Vibes with Shehnaaz Gill had crossed 20 million subscribers. Despite her fame, she remained grounded, balancing her career and family life seamlessly.

"Hi, guys! Aaj ka breakfast ban raha hai special. For my cuties Aarav and Ananya" she said, pointing the camera toward her two kids sitting at the dining table.

Nine year old Aarav, who was a mini version of Sidharth, grinned. :"Mumma, mujhe double pancakes chahiye!"

"Double toh milenge," chimed in Anaya, now 6, her pigtails bouncing. "But main pehle khaungi."

Sid entered just then, freshly showered and ready for work. "Yahan kaunsa pancake war chal raha hai?" he asked, ruffling Aarav's hair and picking up Anaya in his arms.

Sid, now the lead engineer at Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), was known across the industry for his groundbreaking projects. His work often kept him busy, but he never let it come in the way of spending time with his family.

"Maine toh decide kar liya hai," Sana teased, flipping another pancake onto a plate. "Jo mera sabse zyada kaam karega, wo winner hai."

"Phir toh main har din loser hoon," Sid joked, kissing Sana on the cheek.

"Kya Sid bacche hai saamne." She said while blushing.

"Kids do you any problem if i kiss you mother?" Sid asked shamelessly. Sana hit his hand.

"No," they said in unison and ate their pancakes. Sana move her head in disbelief.

"Acha Sid sun." She said while flipping the pancake.

"Bol."

"Yaad hai na aaj sab aa rahe hai?"

"Ha ha yaad hai aur main driver se bol diya hai time se saara saaman le denge wo tujhe." He said while stuffing pancake in his mouth.

"Tch unka matter nahi hai tera hai tu jaldi aa jaana aur pehle to mujhe yahi samjh nahi aaya ki Sunday ke din kaam par kon jaata hai." She rolled her eyes.

"Baby i will come soon bass ek important meeting hai wo finish karke 12 baje tak aata hu unse pehle aa jaunga promise." He kissed her forehead and than Aarav and Ananya's, than left the house.

"Chalo kids papa to gaye let's make some arrangements for your friends." Sana said and they giggled in happiness.

Later that day, their closest friends arrived for a Sunday get together, a tradition they had maintained despite their busy lives.

Randeep and Ashi entered first, holding hands with their twins, Arun and Advika, who were now 9. Randeep's photography business had gone international, and Aashi had become on of the surgeons in the country.

Kabir and Kavya came next with their 8 year old daughter, Isha, who loved painting and was always seen with her sketchbook. Kabir had successfully launched his own startup, while Kavya managed both her career and home life like a pro.

Reem and Kartik arrived last, with their mischievous 7 year old son Vihaan, who immediately teamed up with Aarav to cause trouble. Reem and Kartik ran a chain of successful cafes called Coffee Tales, which had become a favorite hangout spot for everyone.

The kids ran off to play while the adults settled in the living room.

"Kya baat hai, Sana!" Ashi exclaimed. "Tera vlog toh pura duniya me chaa raha hai."

Sana smiled. "Tu apna baata. Har article mein bas Dr. Ashi ka hi naam hai."

Randeep teased Sid, "Aur bhai, tu to ab TCS ke king ho gaye ho. Kaise manage karte ho yeh sab?"

Sid laughed. "Manage? Sana hai na. Agar woh personal aur professional manage kar sakti hai, to saath main mujhe bhi karna hoga na."

Kabir smirked. "Aur tum dono ko dekh ke lagta hai ki love story kabhi purani nahi hoti. Like your love is still young jab ki buddhe ho gaye ho dono."

"Oh hello tujhse zyda handsome hai mera pati." Sana said and rolled her eyes.

Reem added, "Aur tumhare bacche to carbon copy hain tum dono ki. Aarav toh chhota Sid hai."

"Anaya to puri Sana hai," Kartik said. "Pyaari, lekin bossy."

Sana playfully threw a cushion at him. "Main bossy hoon? Tum log bas jealous ho."

In the evening, everyone gathered on the terrace, which was decorated with fairy lights and had a small barbecue setup. The kids were busy roasting marshmallows while the adults reminisced about old times.

Sid sat beside Sana, holding her hand. "Kabhi socha tha, hum sabki life itni sorted ho jayegi?"

Sana smiled, resting her head on his shoulder. "Nahi, lekin ek baat pata thi jab tak tu mere saath hai, sab sahi hoga."

Their friends overheard and started teasing. "Arre, abhi bhi romance chal raha hai!" Kavya laughed.

Randeep added, "Aur humne socha tha yeh sab settle ho jayenge. Par yeh dono toh ab bhi apni duniya me hai."

After their friends left at night and once the kids were tucked into bed, Sid led Sana to the balcony. Fairy lights twinkled around them, and the city lights created a magical backdrop.

"Sid, yeh sab tune kab kiya?" Sana asked, her eyes widening in surprise.

"Aaj tere liye kuch special karna tha, bohot din ho gaye humne Akele time spend nahi kiya" Sid said, pulling out a small box from his pocket. Inside was a delicate bracelet with charms that symbolized their journey, two hearts, a camera, and two tiny figures representing their kids.

Sid smiled, slipping the bracelet onto her wrist. "Tere liye kuch bhi karna special hota hai, Sana. Tu meri life ka sabse important part hai. Teri wajah se hi yeh ghar ek family ban paya."

Sana's teared up, wrapping her arms around him. "Aur tu meri zindagi ka sabse beautiful surprise hai, Sid."

Suddenly, Aarav's voice rang out from the doorway. "Papa, mumma, hum log bed pe gaye aur aap dono yahan chupke romance kar rahe ho?"

Sana turned, startled, while Sid burst into laughter. Behind Aarav, Anaya was rubbing her eyes sleepily but holding her bunny tight.

"Badmaash tu hum par jasusi kar raha tha?", Sid teased. "Aao, sab mil ke ek midnight picnic karte hain."

He carried Aarav on his shoulders, while Sana picked up Anaya, and they all went to the living room. They laid out a blanket, brought snacks, and spent the next hour talking, laughing, and making silly faces.

At one point, Aarav asked, "Papa, mamma, aap dono humesha ek dusre ke saath itne happy kyun hote ho?"

Sid exchanged a glance with Sana before replying, "Kyunki jab pyaar hota hai, toh har moment happy ban jata hai. Aur jab tum dono humare saath hote ho, tab toh life aur bhi perfect lagti hai."

Anaya, in her sleepy voice, said, "Mamma, aap aur papa best ho."

Sana kissed her little cheek. "Aur tum dono humari duniya ho."

Once the kids finally dozed off in their room, Sidharth and Shehnaaz sat on the couch, their fingers entwined.
