Author's POV

Twenty five year later

At Midnight

A girl was sleeping on the bed. There was darkness all around. A sound of footsteps were lightly heard.

The gush of wind travelled in the room as the girl pulled the blanket over her to warm herself.

But slowly her blanket started getting down from her body.

"V... A.... N... I.... "

A scary voice was heard as the girl immediately got up. She was sweating and her heart was beating fast.

"Who... Who is it? "

She asked feebly.

She heard a voice from her wardrobe. Someone was hitting it from inside.
Her legs were shivering as she moved towards it.

She extended her hands slowly and was about to open the door when a sound came....

"SURPRISEEEEEEEEEEEE"

The girl saw two woman with black eyes and she screamed.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHH... "

"What happened..? "

Bani came rushing in the room. Veer put on the lights.

She heard two woman laughing loudly and one of them being very scared.

" MAYURI, MEERA WHAT DID YOU DO NOW? "

Bani said scolding them.

"Vani baby.. Come out.. "

She said calming.

It was the three beautiful and strong girls of Veer and Bani. After three years of marriage they got blessed with twin girls.

They named them Meera and Mayuri after their saviours. The pain of losing their friends was still there but somehow seeing their children, they found their friends.

Mayuri and Meera were the naughty ones while Vani an year younger to both of them was the calmer one.

"Hahahahaha... "

Meera and Mayuri kept laughing.

"Mayu di, Mee Di both of you are so bad.."

Vani said.

"Maa, Papa you should have seen her face.. "

Meera said laughing while removing the lenses and trying to take off the kajal around her eyes.

" My babies you shoud'nt have done this . . See my sweetie got so scared.. "

Veer said patting on Vani's head.

"Papa aap toh kuch boliye mat .. Pura idea aapka hi tha.. "

Mayuri said trying to remove the kajal around her eyes too.

"WHATTTT..? "

Bani and Vani said together.

"Sweetheart.. Sweetie.. Ye mazak kar rahe hein.. Hahha.. "

He said being scared and the twin sisters laughed.

"Hey bhagwan main kya karun inn baap aur betiyon ka.. "

Bani said facepalming.

"Papa aap bhi.. "

Vani said.

"Hum toh bas mazak kar rahe the.. "

Meera said and Vani pouted cutely.

"Abb na sab sone jao.. Veer tumhe toh baad main dekhte hoon... Aur tum dono jao apna muh dho pehele.. "

Bani said.

"Mumma yaar take a chill pill "

Meera and Mayuri said together and Veer almost laughed.

"Tumhe bohot hasi aa rahi hein? "

Bani asked.

" Papa toh gaye.. "

Vani said

"Nahi sweetheart meri itni himmat jo main tumpe hasu.. "

He said and everybody including Bani laughed.

"Sab sabke nautanki.. "

Bani said.

"But you love us na Maa.. "

Mayuri said hugging Bani and smiled a little.

" Accha abb sorry bolo Vani ko.. Choti behen hein tumhari koi aese darata hein bhala.. "

Bani said.

"Sorry Vani agle baar aese nahi darayenge.. Kuch naya try karenge.. "

Meera said .

"Shaitann.. "

Bani said holding Meera's ear.

"Good maa aur kaan khicho.. "

Vani said laughing and hugging Bani too.

"Accha maa abb kaan chod bhi do aur mujhe bhi hug karo.. Warna mera moye moye moment hojayega"

She said and all of them laughed.
All three of them hugged Bani tightly.

"Mujhe kyun family hug se bahar choda hein..? "

Veer said and all of them went near him and they shared a family hug.

They were one happy family.

"Accha abb jaldi sone jao. Kal Christmas party main bhi jana hein.. "

Bani said.

"Ahem ahem.. Haan Christmas party.. Tu janti hein na Meera kiske yahan hein? "

Mayuri said in a teasing tone.

"Shivansh Oberoi "

Meera too said in a teasing tone to Vani.
Vani and Shivansh met in an intercollegiate program. Since then they started dating.

Vani never hid any truth from her parents. They were her like friends who guided her the best.

Veer and Bani didnt protest but told her to take her time.

Soon, Vani and Shivansh's bond grew more and more deeper. And now there marriage was fixed.

Meera and Mayuri were very excited for their sister's wedding.

But it was later that Veer and Bani realised that Shivansh was Officer Shivaay's son. A small world it was for sure.

Officer Shivaay passed away few years back in an operation. Shivansh then went to foreign with his mother Priya oberoi. When he came back to India for a program he met Vani.

Priya was a beautiful person but she didn't know about them because she and Officer Shivaay had gotten married few years after the case.

"Kyun tang kar rahi ho isse? "

Bani said and the twin sister duo chuckled and Vani blushed. .

"Jo bhi ho mujhse zyada pyar Meri bachiyon ko koi nahi karta.. "

Veer said getting into protective father zone.

"Yes Papa obviously aapke barabar koi nahi.. "

Vani said and hugged Veer.

We all smiled and then went to bed.

~~~

Next evening

Bani was getting ready to go to the retro themed party.

She was dressed in a pink gown.

" Uff koi itna khubsurat kaise lag sakta hein.. "

Veer said looking at her through the mirror.

"Uff koi itna jhuth kaise bol sakta hein.. "

Bani said turning around.

"Accha maine kya jhuth bola ? "

He said pulling her closer to him.

"Mr Singhania agar aap bhul rahe hein I am 50+ now. Mere safed baal aa rahe hein, wrinkles aa rahe hein, kamar dard badhta ja raha hein and what not... "

She said.

" Aur aap bhul rahi hein Mrs Singhania, ki aap chahe kitni bhi budhi khud ko manle.. Meri liye aap humesha meri sabse khubsurat sweetheart rahengi jisse main college main mila tha. Kyunki tumhari khubsurati tumhare smile se hein, tumhare confidence se hein aur tumhare morales se. "

He said and Bani kept looking at him with love.

"Samjhi gharwali..? "

He asked and she blushed with the endearment.

"Samjh gayi ghar wale.. "

She said and chuckled .

" Ek baat bolu.. "

She said.

"Boliye.. "

He said.

"Meri liye bhi chahe waqt kitna bhi badal jaye par tumhare liye mera pyar kabhi nahi badal sakta. Tum mere Veer the, mere Veer ho aur humesha mere rahoge. Woh Veer jisse sirf pyar bikherna aata hein. Woh Veer jo apno ke liye khud se bhi lad jata hein. Mera Veer. "

She said and kissed on his lips.
Veer kissed her back and they hugged tightly.

" Main na bohot dinon se kuch soch raha tha.. "

Veer said.

"Haan bolo.. "

Bani said.

"Vani ke shadi ke baad second honeymoon par chale..? "

He asked and Bani got shocked.

"Dhat.".

Bani said and was about to get up when he again pulled her back.

"Sach kehte hein log shadi ke baad biwiyaan unromantic ho jati hein.. "

He said and Bani arched her eyebrows and moved closer to him.

"Sure Veeranshu Singhania, of course I am romantic and it's not like we have done the deed at every corner of this house.. "

She said sultrily and Veer's mouth hung open.

Bani laughed looking at him.

"My sweetheart is getting bold haa.. "

He said and was about to kiss her when..

"Oh my god! No I didn't see anything!!! "

Vani said closing her eyes.

Me and Bani moved away.

"Beta Papa ke aakhon main kuch chala gaya tha wohi dekha rahi thi.. "

Bani said panicking.

"Maa apni 25 saal ki betiyon se jhuth bolna paap hein.. "

Mayuri said getting in and the girls laughed while Veer controlled his smile. And Bani was flustered.

" Tum log na mar khaoge mujhse..".

Bani said.

"Accha Bani.. Abb itna mat dato mere babies ko.. "

Veer said.

" Tumhari babies na 25 saal ki hogayi hein. Tum toh ho hi bigadne.. Abb main nahi datungi toh kon datega.. ".

Bani said..

" Accha mata shree chill.. And waise bhi you and Dad are looking so beautiful, so elegant just like a wow.. "

Meera said getting in and we smiled.

"Accha abb chalo.. Der ho rahi hein.. "

Bani said and they left for Oberoi mansion.

~~~
Oberoi Mansion

The Singhania family entered inside the mansion.

" Aap sab aa gaye.. "

Priya said with a smile.

All of them exchanged greetings.

Priya was going to be the coolest mother in law for sure.

Veer and Bani went inside when suddenly they heard a hooting.

"What happened..? "

Veer whispered and asked Bani.

"Pata nahi.. "

Bani said.

"Mom and Dad welcome!!! "

Shivansh said hugging them.

"Shivansh beta ye sab aese kyun hoot kar rahe hein..? "

Veer asked.

" Mom, Dad zara upar toh dekhiye
apne.. "

He said pointing upwards.

Veer and Bani looked up to see that they were under the mistletoe.

" You know what that means Mom and Dad! "

Shivansh said and everybody clapped along with Vani, Mayuri and Meera.
Veer and Bani looked at each other and they smiled a little nervously.

They moved closer. It felt like even the mistletoe supported the Thirty years of togetherness and love that Veer and Bani shared.

They came and shared a peck as everybody smiled adoring the couple .

Veer and Bani moved back with a smile.

"Maa Papa.. Main pray karungi ki mera aur shivaansh ka rishta humesha aap dono jaisa hein. Respect, pyar aur understanding se bhara hua.. ".

Vani said and hugged them.

Soon the party started and more guests started coming.

" Randhawa Nanu..! "

Vani said excitedly.

" Uncle aap yahan? "

Bani asked.

"Maine bulaya Maa.. ".

She said.

" Accha kiya.. "

Veer said

"Waise main apne sath kisi aur ko bhi laya hoon"

He said and a guy moved towards them.

"Veer, Bani, bachon ye Tarun hein
Aakesh ke cousin ka beta.. Mere pass aaya hua tha milne toh isse bhi le aaya"

He said.

Everybody greeted him but their was particular someone with who his eyes locked.

Meera.

"Hello I am Tarun. "

He said and extended his hand.

"Meera "

She said and they shared an eye lock.
Bani looked at the scene and for a second Ingrid's words came in her mind.

"OUR KIDS SHOULD NOT MEET! "

She immediately wiped off that thought. No! No! I shouldn't be thinking this. She thought. And Tarun is not directly related to Aakesh anyways.

Tarun later even met Shivansh and the party was going well.

Suddenly someone came and held Shivansh's eyes from back.

"Guess who it is? "

The voice said.

"Aur kon bas ek hi piece hein aesa.. Aakesh.. "

Shivansh said and that caught Veer and Bani's attention.

"Correct ".

Aakesh said and Shivansh and him hugged.

" Maa,Papa and sali sahebao meet Aakesh my best friend. I met him in US! "

He said and Aakesh greeted them.

But yet again it was with one of them with whom his greet meet went a little longer - Mayuri.

"Accha abb ye bata Aunty kaha hein.. ? "

Shivansh asked.

"Bas naam liya aur woh hogayi hazir. "

Aakesh said and Bani and Veer turned to look at the lady.

But it was shock that enveloped them even more.

The lady was Ingrid.

Ingrid looked equally shocked. She was almost panicking.

They greeted each other acting as if they don't know each other but deep down fear consumed all of them.

"Okay guys, now it's time for dance! "

Priya said and everybody stood with their partners.

Vani and Shivaansh, Mayuri and Aakesh and Tarun and Meera.

Veer and Bani also went to the dance floor. Veer made her sit on his lap as he moved the wheels. It was their romantic version of dance that they always did. They didn't care what people thought because for them only their mattered.

" Veer.. I am feeling scared.. "

Bani said voicing out her thought.

"Sweetheart don't panick.. Iss party ke baad sab apni jagah chale jayenge.. "

He said cupping her face.

"What if something happens again? "

She said being worried.

"Then somebody has taught me, ki jo hona hein woh hokar rahega par kuch bhi hojaye andhera roshni se zarur mitega.."

He said and Bani calmed down.

She sighed and touched her forehead with his.

Soon the songs stopped and Priya again held the mic.

"I am so happy that you all joined us today. You made this festival even more colourful for us. Today on this joyous occasion I have one more announcement to make. Shivaansh is soon going to start an enterprise of his own and what can be a better occasion to unveil who it is after.. "

Priya said and Shivansh held the mic.

"Thank you Maa . Today I would like you to meet the person who inspired me to get into business. Who was a great business woman. And she was my grandma... Shireen oberoi.. "

He said and unveiled the picture.
Veer, Bani and Ingrid pupils dilated.
Veer held Bani' s hand as she was about to fall.

There hearts was beating fast because Shireen oberoi was the fifth woman from the picture.

There gaze went on Vani, Shivansh, Mayuri, Tarun , Meera and Aakesh.

The CIRCLE had repeated and joined together.

And the only hope was that the HISTORY doesn't repeat.

Kyunki Anth hi aarambh hein

Every end is a beginning.
