It's been 8 years now, Chakor had left India and a young man was sitting alone on the Manja, on the roof of his house.

A beer bottle in his hand he was staring into the star filled night, "wow I love this view." He took a sip of the bottle and was losing himself in the night, when he heard the shout, "Suraj!"

Suraj rolls his eyes, "unlucky, I'm so unlucky. What!" He replies in the middle of the night gaining the attention of everyone.

"She is coming back." A man out of breath said to him, a smile on his face and Suraj frowns, "Chakor?" He asked just to be sure that he got it right.

"Yes, Chakor is coming back. She will be here in two days." His brother said and left the roof with a smirk on his face. This boy will never change.

Suraj didn't drunk the content of bottle completely. He throw it away and immediately went down to his bedroom to have a good sleep.

It was the next morning and the table was looking overloaded with the heavy meals on it, the whole family was sitting around the table to have their food, when they heard the noise coming from the door.

"Surprise!" A girl, sorry a woman shouted and gained their attention.

"Chakor!" The crowd called her name and she just let the bags fallen on the ground to hug each of them, well almost everyone, but someone was missing as he was still sleeping.

KN and Teju blessed her, "we are so happy to have you back."

Chakor smiles, "I'm happy too. I missed you all so much." She widen her eyes, "oh my... is this a belly?" She was shocked and happy at the same time.

"Yes, it's a belly." Ajay said, "but we still have time, will the aunt stay till the birth or will be gone?"

Chakor pouts, "this depends on my work, I have come for a reason."

"Ohh!" They all said in union, "a reason." They teased her and she sat on her place, there was always an empty chair for her.

"Where is the kam chor {useless fellow}?" Chakor asked and they all shrugged at her, "must be sleeping."

As if it wasn't enough, he fall from the bed and bites on his tongue, "ouch!" Someone is talking about me bad. Shit!

Suraj rubs his eyes off the sand, he yawns loudly and stood up from the ground, he went to the washroom and comes down changing in normal clothes.

"Oh look who found his way."

"This Voice?!" He said and looked around, there she was sitting with the spoon in her hand close to her mouth, "what?" She asked and Suraj sat on his place staring at her only.

Gosh she has become so beautiful, but her anger is still the same and she will definitely insult me soon.

"How can you sleep this long, we almost finished with the breakfast and you haven't even started it. Will you have brunch or what?"

Oh here we go, she started with her famous taunts. Suraj get ready to fight for your dignity.

"Chakor it's Sunday the only day I can sleep long, get in your mind I will not change my sleeping schedule just because you have comeback."

"Enough," Teju stopped them, she knew they would never end in a good way, "Chakor let him has food and you tell us how long will you stay?"

"Array Maa she will stay long as she has to complete her work, she came for a reason." Arjun said and they all looked at her then to Suraj.

"What?" He said, obviously he knows what they wanted to say, but he remained silent.

"Wait wait wait..." she stopped them thinking further, "there is nothing like that. I have come here for a reason and that's not Suraj."

They all were shocked and Suraj hold on his anger back, "it's not that I'm dying to marry you or anything like this. Just tell us why are you here."

Arjun placed his hand on Suraj shoulder, he shook his head to make him calm. Suraj took a deep breath, "so can I have the toast please?"

Tina forwarded it, his pregnant sister-in-law, "here and please have some cold drink too to get a cold mind."

Suraj rolls his eyes, "whatsoever, I want chai."

Chakor was having a fist under the table, "I'm here because I have settled down in London, I have finished my studies and I want to stay there to complete my work, well I have build up a life there, my lawyer said I should come and clear the matter with my property." She said it with a lowered head, "Aunty I know you all were expecting me to marry Suraj or something like this, but I never had this dream, I..." she bites on her lower lip she was trying to find the right words.

"Do you have someone Dr. Chakor Mehta." Suraj asked under his breath, he stayed alone single just because he waited for her.

"Yes, I have someone waiting for me. Don't tell me you don't have someone?" Chakor insulted him, but Suraj didn't said anything as Ajay was holding his hand under the table.

"Really Chakor, that is superb, right?" He tried to reduce the awkwardness, but it didn't helped.

"Please uncle and aunty, don't put the pressure on me saying that I have to marry him cause you have cared for me. I know you did and I'm thankful to you, but it doesn't mean you have the right to decided about my life or blackmail me."

Now the two brothers released Suraj hands, "what the hell is wrong with you?" He shouts at her, "it's Sunday let us live our life in peace and wait till tomorrow then you can go and meet the stupid lawyer for your property. Do you really think we would blackmail you or put pressure on you? You are mistaken that you matter to us this much. Even we just fulfilled our duty being family friends and nothing else, besides do we look like we need your property?"

"Well you definitely need something cause you don't have anything. You have made nothing out of yourself, you are still the same person that I left that time."

This time Suraj hold the hands of his brothers, "well whatever you think. But we are not depended on your 'property' get and leave!" He took the toast and ate his silently his food.

"Chakor we would never put pressure on you or blackmail you. Sure we will go and talk to the lawyer. You know my lawyer is my friend I will call him and make the appointment for tomorrow." KN said and Chakor was happy, "thank you."

"Uff," Teju playfully hits her, "family there is no need to say thank you. And all we did was for you."

"Haan and when you will get married I will do your kaniyadaan, it's my right." KN said and Chakor nodded, "of course who else?"

Suraj was murmuring something under his breath, no one could understand it.

Bhagya gave him his chai, "here have it and leave as soon as possible."

Suraj glares at her, "why it's my house, why do I have to leave? She should go." He said in anger and they shook their heads.

Chakor rolls her eyes, "oh please don't worry, you won't see me for the rest of the day. I'm so tried the flight and then the travel. I need rest."

Suraj shrugs, "who cares?"

Chakor fumes. Stupid ass, of course you care!

She stood up and carried her bags to her room, she knew they would have cleaned it and is was ready to use. Mister Suraj Rajvanshi you will pay for torturing me!

She falls on the bed and immediately starts to snore....

They looked at Suraj, who wasn't able to answer them or handle the situation, "Ansh!" His nephew, currently the one and only, "let's go to the park."

Ansh, his trustable buddy, "okay Chachu, let's go." He took the hand of his uncle and they left the house just not to create any scenes.

"Did she really meant what she said?" Tina asked and they looked at her.

"Her property?" Bhagya shook her head, "I can't believe it."

Arjun and Ajay were looking at each other, "haan sounds so weird and she has someone waiting for her?" They couldn't believe it.

Teju and KN couldn't say anything, "it's her life we can't force her, we had a small dream, but it's not what she wants."

"At least I will get my chance to do her Kaniyadaan." KN was happy and they all glared at him, "what about Suraj?" They asked and he numbed.

Ansh was looking at his uncle, "Chachu don't worry," he taps on his shoulder, they were near the beach, "there are plenty of women waiting for you, you can have one on each finger or more." He winks with a mischievous smile on his face.

"Ay hay my little devil. So to hai {that's true} can't argue on this topic I could have as many as I want, who is she?"

"Exactly!" Ansh said thinking of his own words. Now my way is clear, she is mine.

Suraj saw him. Tharki {pervert}.
"Baacha she is old. You can't have her."

Ansh glares at him, "Chachu she refused to become my Chachi, but not as my wife." He adjusted his hairs and smirks, "let's go home, she just need someone young enough to handle her childish behaviour."

Suraj shook his head seeing his nephews attitude, "she doesn't care, don't forget there is someone waiting for her."

"Even if, she can fall in love with me, I'm the best what can happen to her."

Suraj lifts him up, "I love you so much." They had a fun day as both weren't in the mood to refund home early.

Ansh was sleeping on Suraj chest, he was holding him the way home, "there are you, have you checked the time?" Bhagya was hell angry on him.

"Please Bhabhi, he is sleeping. Shh!" He shushed her and gave Ansh to her, "have fun."

Bhagya felt the weight of Ansh, "Uff this boy needs a diet." Arjun came from the back, he took him from her, "Suraj next time call us once."

Suraj nodded, "sure." He went upstairs to the roof, again he sat on his bench and opens the bottle to drink. Today I have to drink more just to forget that stupid fight.

Chakor woke up in the night, she heard the small argument of Suraj and Bhagya, she stretched her arms and stood up, she followed the noise and saw him sitting on the bench. He took a sip of the bottle and she looked around, "oh there it is."

Suraj heard her, "oh no, what you want now?"

"A beer?!" She took a bottle and he wanted to give her to opener, but she placed the bottle cap near the edge of the wall. A small hand move and the cap wasn't gone. She smiles, "good haan?" She asked and he didn't replied to her.

Chakor leans on the wall, "what is wrong with you?"

Suraj looked at her with narrowed eyes, "what's wrong with me or you? How dare you to blame us for your property or that we would blackmail you. You can live your life on your terms, like before too. We don't interfere nor we want too."

He drunk it and left her alone, Chakor fumes, "stupid!" She shouts, but he was gone and slept on his bed.

Chakor couldn't sleep as she had slept the whole day, "what to do and this idiot also left me alone." She was drinking and didn't know when she fallen asleep again.

It was the next morning

The loud sound of a motorcycle carburettor made her fallen from the bench, "ouch!" She moans and tried to stand up, she took the support from the wall and saw him driving away. Suraj?

Suraj shape was gone.

Chakor rushed down, she didn't made her hair or anything she took a cycle and followed him, but before that she was stopped by KN.

"Chakor, where are you going?"

"Uncle the appointment with the lawyer is later right? In the afternoon?" Chakor confirmed it and drove away without waiting for an answer.

Chakor just followed the direction he was driving before. She fumes in anger as she lost his trace, but there was someone she could ask, "excuse me?" She looked at the shop, "did you saw Suraj?" She asked and the shop owner told her which street she has to follow. It was straight forward.

Chakor saw the bike parked on a parking lot, she stepped down the cycle and looked around, "orphanage?" She wasn't sure why he stopped near an orphanage, but she wanted to know.

Chakor sneaks around, she found a window with railings and sneaked into the room, "Haaw!" She widen her eyes, a bunch of kids were sitting on the ground, they were all looking straight to the blackboard, when their teacher came in.

"Good Morning Sir!" They said in union.

"Good Morning kids!" Suraj responses to them, "did you all made your homework?"

Half of the kids shook their heads, Suraj felt bad, "why?"

A boy stood up, "Sir, you asked us to write an assy about our dream, but we know it won't get fulfilled."

Suraj felt even worse than before, "why you think so? You all want a family, but family doesn't meant to be everything. A dream can be a work, a good thing or a desire. You know just because you are living in an orphanage your life is miserable. It's hard I agree, but it's not impossible."

The boy nodded, "but I didn't made the homework."

Suraj smiles, "Fine you all get an extra day. Till tomorrow I want that assy got it!"

Chakor was numb, "so he isn't useless." She smiles, "Aww a teacher that too of orphans. My hero." She was watched by the janitor, "miss?"

Chakor frighten, without looking at the man she left the property of the orphanage and drove home with the cycle.

KN was waiting for her, "there you are I thought you will come later."

"Uncle appointment was for the afternoon."

He shook his head, "no, now come." They sat in the car and drove away.

The advocate had prepared everything, "Dr. Chakor Mehra here you can read it carefully and then sign it."

Chakor nodded, she read it twice and signed on it without any hesitation or open questions.

"So your Kaniydaan is on me."

Chakor hugs him, "of course."

They returned home and even Suraj was there, he was looking at his mobile phone while Ansh was swiping on the screen.

Chakor couldn't believe it, "Suraj!" She shouts and all looked at her, she stamps to him and took the mobile phone from his hand, "I'm here and you are checking TINDA?"

Suraj confused and Ansh suppressed his laugh, he was keeping his hands on his mouth, "now to-be Chachi, this isn't TINDA. Just look."

Chakor huffs, she looked at the screen and saw her pictures while sleeping.

"You made pictures of me?" She roared at him.

Suraj shrugs, "well I also put you on the bench, you know, you were sleeping on the ground?" He shook his head, "you can't be polite nowadays there is no respect left."

Chakor hits him, "idiot."

"Ouch! What the hell is wrong with you? Isn't someone waiting for you?" He was rubbing his arm.

"What?" She didn't know, but they all looked at her.

"Yesterday you said, that there is 'someone waiting for me'." Suraj said to her and she nodded, "right there was something like this I said it, but..."

"But?!" The whole family looked at her.

"I was lying to you, cause I was angry!"

"Angry?" They all looked at her, "why?"

She glared at Suraj, "you idiot! Why didn't you called me or contacted me? All those years you were avoiding me I thought you have someone!"

Suraj lifts an eyebrow, "simple I wanted to give you the freedom. Wasn't you the one, who said I'm disturbing you."

"I just said it, but I didn't meant it. You know how much I love you!"

"Hadh teri {oh no}!" Ansh said and Suraj pulls her close and made her sit on his lap.

"Yes, I know you love me." He kisses her cheek and she hits him, "then why you always fight with me."

Everyone in the family shook their heads, he should better not answer it.

"Chakor I fight?"

Chakor looked at him, her gaze was stern and he gulped, "Because I love you... I love to tease you and I know how much you love to win fights and you know I always give in for you."

"Haan!" Chakor hold him tight, "I will give all my property to the orphanage so they can have a better future." She whispers into his ear and he smiles, "before you do anything, is there someone or not?"

Chakor looked at him, "you, you idiot!" She hits him and he know, she never would never change not even for him.

"Wait my father wants to do your Kaniyadaan. But he is my father, so this won't be possible."

"Oh okay, then I'm not your father." KN said and they all suppressed their laugh while Suraj gave him death glares.

Chakor kisses his cheek again, "aww, but I will stay here. No return I already talked to the lawyer, he will arrange the papers."

"Means I will also be present at the delivery."

"You are mad." Suraj hold her tight, "I should have kept another one as long as I had the chance."

"Suraj!!!" She shouts while the others laughed at them.

It didn't took much time and SuKor got married to each other.

Chakor was looking at him, "Mister Rajvanshi."

Suraj was looking at her, "it's our wedding night, what the hell is wrong with you?"

Chakor crawls to him, "listen to me carefully."

Suraj opens his mouth, "Okay?!"

She took out some glasses and made him wear them, "I never thought you will be a teacher."

"And I never thought you would be that Tharki." Suraj said to her while she smashed her lips on his.

Suraj was looking at his wife, he wasn't sure what to do or say, while she was feeding their child.

"What happened Suraj?"

"Yaar you came after 8 years. You seduced me on our wedding night and the result of it is in front of me in your arms." Suraj pouts, "I had dreams with you, but look now I have to bear this."

Chakor frowns, "what you mean?" She was upset the hormones were a huge mess.

"I meant I have to share you that too with someone who just come into the world. I wanted you for me alone".

"Aww." Chakor went closer and kissed him.

"I love you."

"I love you my Baby !" Suraj bend down to the baby and starts to kiss their son, "my Raj."

Chakor hits him on his back head, "idiot."

Suraj looked at her, "I love you also my beautiful wife. Oh my kids are waiting."

Chakor smiles, she was working at the orphanage too and was handling the health care of the kids, while Suraj kept on teaching them.

Happy Family ahead!
