The ocean waters reached the sea. A couple walked near the sea with a small baby who can just walk a little and talk a little. The baby was in her early three years.

The place was filled with laughter. "Walk carefully avni you might slip" Sona said to avni as she was carrying five month old baby in her stomach.

They both held their hands and walked as their husbands were keeping an eye on the babies around them AND not to forget their wives.

Dev and jatin was also taking care of their neighbours kids. As all the five kids were sitting and playing in the sand with dev and jatin's supervision. Sona and avni were just chilling around.

Sona came closer to kids. "Aunty will give you all a challeng" she said to the kids as they all curiously looked at her. Mommy mommy.... her daughter cutlet held. It was getting darker. The shore turned dark. Dev and jatin were standing and talking about selling the properties in New York.As they all got settled in India they didn't have a need to run a business in New york. Dev was even not bothered to sell it in profit or loss he just wanted to sell that and live a happy life with his one and only daughter and his most gorgeous wife.

"Okay darlings now who finds the ice cream shop will get extra one more ice cream from aunty" sona playfully said to the kids as they all looked involved in finding the ice cream and played childishly with sona. She searched for her child."Dev suha is missing, is she with you" she questioned dev and  dev gave her a death glare.

She narrated the whole incident to him. That made him just realise how foolishly his wife behaved. "Let's go search the child, before it gets more dark" jatin said after sensing the tension. "Where can we search for her in such a big shore" dev yelled and remained in the same place as sona and avni moved around the shore.

After 10mins suha came running to dev. Papaaa she screamed as dev feel in his knees and hugged her tightly in his arms. Within few minutes jatin called sona and avni. They both reached the same place immediately. "I know my daughter is not a fool like her mom she will cleverly come to this same place and I will wait for her here itself" the way dev said that to sona and waited for her in the same place made sona cry when she saw suha and dev hugging each other in the same place where all thought they lost suha.

"Mommy I need extra ice cream" suha Said playfully and sona slapped her in her back. She started to wipe innocently not even knowing why her mom beat her. Within a second sona carried and kisses suha lovingly. "She's the reason we are surviving sona,careful" dev said and hugged sona who was carrying their child in her arm. Later all the other kids also joined them in a friendly hug.

Days changed after suha was born. The person who used to come late night at 10oclock was at home by 5o'clock in the evening to take his daughter for outings.

Suha used to go to the main door and regularly wait for dev. Sona and dev cherished their memories with suha.
Initially they both thought it would be hard to manage a kid but now they both were proving to be the best parent's. No more couple fights were between them. Both turned more mature just for their daughter.

After spending hours in the beach, they went back home. Jatin was busy dealing with avni's mood swings and dev gave him a look like now to do understand how I suffered.

Somewhere the friends turned into family. In their life now there was just happiness.

After having dinner dev took suha with him to make her sleep. Suha was always attached with dev. The baby girl enjoyed hearing her papa's stories and would happily lay in his shoulder.
It was the routine work for sona to clear the kitchen and then the messy bedroom, later call suha and dev to sleep.

For her surprise dev and suha already cleaned the messy room and were lying happily. "Ahaan looks like dad and daughter are sharing secrets without mom" she said taking a place next to dev. "Papa... story"  suha asked him with a smile and dev pointed to sona "Mommy will say today" he said and was about to get up from the bed but sona blinked her eyes and suha feel on dev playfully and pushed him back to bed. "We want story... bed time story"  Sona spoke as suha was just cheerfully nodding her head. Nowadays suha was trying to also repeat the words spoken by her parents. So that was also another reason for sona and dev to not utter any bad words in front of suha. He just an eye expression to sona which clearly spoke that he has so much of work to do.  Sona adamantly held his hand pleaded him like a baby as suha was just laughing and held is another hand. "You have became very naughty sona" he said looking at sona and they both silently observed the way suha was laughing by the way their parents were behaving.

" I don't remember any story so mommy will say and we will hear" dev said pulling suha closer to him and sona just gave a blank look. "No, papa should only know tell story suha, Mommy is already so tired know" Sona said touching suha's stomach playfully and as her was laying on dev it was so clear that his wife and daughter wasn't going to leave him. "She will sleep of dev tell her a random story, I am having head ache from morning" sona said and escaped as dev agreed to recide a story.

"Once.." when dev was about to start. "We don't want the same old stories. Mommy is right know suha" she said and suha came between dev and sona. "You also won't say if I say some random story to ny daughter also you will interact" dev replied and started tickling sona playfully as suha too joined him. The whole room was filled with laughter. Dev and sona had tears in their eyes. I mean they had happy tears.

After laughing out loud he made suha sleep in his lap as sona slept in his shoulder holding his arm tight. The story time finally arrived.usually dev used to read some book and tell but today he decided to tell a story which came in his mind.

Once upon a time there was a man in his early fifties. He was always going on world tour. His wife and son alone lived in his house at New York(it's a place suha) in between the story he was also trying to make suha understand. She was a very small girl but very smart at the age of 2 itself she would say all the name of fruits. She was very quick in grasping. After some time the little boy's mom passed away. That small boy wasn't aware of anything. He was carefree but later he had to take some responsibilities. Immediately after some months he got a new mom but she wasn't someone who he would like to call her as his mom. His daughter was silently observing him. Meanwhile sona got to know he was narrating his own story to his daughter.

That little boy had only one aim in his life. There was lot of photo art which his dad collected. He kept it safely in a room and looked it. Days kept on moving he just learnt to be bold and concentrate in his study.
So the room which was looked always
Was filled with his mom and dad memories sona came to a conclusion of his story. His life changed when he was very well educated. Meanwhile suha slept off and sona was just stating at dev as he made suha sleep and pulled the blacket on her. "Dev that house is the only memory of you're  parent. Don't sell it" she said to dev understanding how much he misses his parent. She was able to understand his pains clearly because even she lost her parent. "No need sona. It also has some bad memories with me. Now I am happy looking at our daughter smile. Now nothing could make me smile than her and not to forget you." She just emotionally hugged him tight and placed a soft kiss in his cheek. "Okay move I have some important work" he said and losened his grip on sona "you only care about you're daughter and never about me right, GET LOST" her anger made him laugh. Yet again that proved him he has two kids. Yes, he was supposed to take care of his wife as his daughter.

But that's something he loved. If she wasn't there he wouldnt have been this great. He wouldn't have had that heart to sell his whole new New York property to charity. Somewhere he never missed the old him.

"Listen dev, I will never ask you to get the stars for me. Just watch them with me please" now those words from her made him agree.
The balcony window was opened. He stood beside her she laid her head on his shoulder. His hand gripped her waist. "Happy anniversary sonakshi dev" the way he whispered in her ears made her just stand frozen.

Her marriage never looked like a marriage but today she would call it the best. That day before 4 years  when she held his hands she cried and prayed for rescue but today she held the same hands for rescue. "I totally forgot it, I mean you wishing me for our anniversary first before me wishing you. If my memory isn't lapse then its the first time" she kept on blabbering as he just pulled her in a tight hug.

It's been 4 years my love
And still here we our
Holding our hands tight
Holding our promises tight

It's been 4 years my love
And still here we our
With 1 fight and 100 kisses
With 1 child and 100 memories

Its been 4 years my love
And still we our in love
And still we our together
And still I crave for you

The promise we made as,
I am yours and,
you are mine
Will never be shattered.

As dev recited these lines to sona she just poured out her emotions in his arms. She didn't move an inch away from him. Dev' s small gestures made her feel overwhelmed. That moment she felt what more she needed in her like. " now I feel like fighting with you to receive that 100 kisses" she said to him as he started to kids her cheeks. "Even though this poem of yours is so childish I had to say it's awesome" Before her words could completely form a sentence her lips was under his lips. Oxygen wasn't lacking, There wasn't a inch gap between them.Yet again they both were so much in love carving for each other. Their eyes was filled with emotions. Their hearts found a way to get TOGETHER and their hands was always held tight.

Even though both didn't whispered I love you to each other they very well lived there love moments. From being best wife and perfect husband they became awesome couple.

Their love story never ended as  each day it began another beautiful love story. They didn't need to prove how much they love each other because that was deliberately seen in their eyes.

A beautiful girl and handsome boy
Held their hands in a disaster
They never left their hands
Held their hands in a triumph.

Where there is love, there is pain
Where there is love, there is hate
Where there is love, there is gain
Where there is love, there is gate

Breaking all these knots
Breaking the ugly outside

There is a beautifil inside
That what is love.....

She loved him, he loved her
She needed him, he needed her
Now, they both love their daughter
Now, they both need their daughter.
