After feeling each other lips for 5 full minutes, Sameer and Srishti broke apart and joined their forehead and smiled at each other.

Srishti: Shall we go inside now?

Sameer shook his head as no and played with the droplets fall down from her cheeks. Srishti smiled at him and caressed his hairs near ears caringly.

Srishti: You will catch with cold and will shiver at night.

He pulled her closer holding by waist and whispered in her ears.

Sameer: Won't you take care of me, giving me your warmth to make me normal?

Srishti blushed and pushed him away: I will, if we get marry. Now we are just engaged.

Sameer held her hands and pouted at her. She smiled and pecked his lips.

Srishti: Stop your drama, my dear Sammy. You very well know, I will do anything for you and I trust you that much. Then also, why did you ask?

Sameer: Because, you never let me kiss you.

Srishti: Because, I wanted our first kiss to be special. Now, see our first kiss on our wedding life's first special day that too in pouring rain.

She said each word with feel and twirled in rain, opening her hands widely, letting her face to welcome more raindrops on her delicate skin with closed eyes. Sameer admired her with smile.

Inside the house, all elders were settle down in dining table with hot coffee and discussing how to solve the new issue.

Suddenly, Pallavi looked over Vikram's head at living room, only to find Sameer and Srishti missing from the youngsters' group.

Pallavi: Where are Sameer and Srishti? Didn't they come inside? Or else...

Vikram cuts in between: Pallavi, relax!! They are engaged now. They are not kids. How long will you direct them? They should learn how to run a family. For that first they should feel they are grown ups and should experience taking decision themselves. For that they need privacy. Let them enjoy themselves na, this is their special day. Moreover, they are engaged, let them do what they want, let them face their problems.

He talked seriously, also supporting the kids against Pallavi and there was nothing wrong in he talked. Everyone looked at him with astonishment.

Vikram: Why you guys are looking at me like this?

Dadi: Because, today only we came to know that you too know to speak.

Just then reality strike his mind, he slowly turned his head towards his beautiful wife, who sometimes looks like devil too. She looked at him, resting her hands on table, giving support to her chin. Her eyes were straight away passing negative vibration into Vikram's eyes.

Virkam: Pal...Pallo, I was jjust...

He searched for words. She genuinely gave him sometime to find the perfect words, after he failed, she started her theory.

Pallavi: You were indirectly telling me to let them romance.

Vikram gulped down his saliva, making his dry throat wet. But there was some luck in his side in the way of others.

Dadi: what is wrong it, Pallo?

Pragya: Exactly, they are gonna get married in 15 days. What is wrong in it? Why these restrictions and all? They are of age Psllo, let them live the life as they wish.

Disha: Also, this is common na, between couples. Moreover, they have rights on each other, after marriage, all parents want kids to be happy na.

Meera (teasingly): also, we all know, what you and jiju did after engagement. Wanna remember you that?

Pallavi always find it hard to control her blush, when her friends call Vikram as jiju. She went silent hearing all.

Vikram looked at them and thanked them through eyes. While Abhi, Purab and King looked at them wondering, as except dadi, other three never support boys or go against Pallavi. This is first time.

They continued having fun remembering happy memories of their past, forgetting about the issue totally and laughing.

While at living room, Aryan and Shahana were playing video game seriously. Prachi lied in couch leaning against Aryan's shoulder having her pakodas while feeding Aryan in between, but her eyes were fixed on the glass wall, through which she was watching pouring rain.

Her hands were having pakodas and feeding Aryan automatically, but totally lost in rain. Ranbir was also doing same, but he was lost in Prachi while feeding Shahana.

Both Shahana and Aryan didn't mind or realise the two budding love birds and seriously competeting with each other. Shahana won over in end with few points lead.

Shahana: Yayyyyyyyy!!!!!

Aryan: Shit!!!

Prachi came to sense and dropped the bowl down in hearing their shouts suddenly. Ranbir also came to sense and looked at the bowl.

Ranbir: Where are my pakodas?

Prachi: You guys made me drop my pakodas.

Prachi glared at them both. They both smiled at her sheepishly.

Shahana: By the way, Ranbir, you only fed me na all pakodas. Now you are asking where is your pakoda. Where were you lost?

She asked a valid question. Ranbir looked at her thinking what to answer.

Ranbir: Umm......I.....

Prachi: Shahana, now don't change the topic. Because of you guys only, I dropped it. What was the need to shout?

Shahana: Okay, meri jaan, forgive us. I will clean it.

Aryan looked at Shahana when she said 'us' instead of 'me'. He felt some kind of special feel in that 'us'. Because that 'us' mentions them both. Both Aryan and Shahana.

He was just lost in Shahana who was cleaning the mess, for which he was also responsible without forcing or even tell him to clean that with her. He wondered what happened to her suddenly as well as to him.

But Shahana neither realise her change in habit nor saw òthers. She was just involved in her work. Aryan sat down to help her.

Shahana: It's done, Aryan. If you wanna help, help me in making pakodas for Prachi.

Now, Ranbir and Prachi too joined Aryan in wonder. Shahana and cooking, that too voluntarily. Shahana went to kitchen ignoring them.

Prachi went behind her hurriedly, as she can't let her mess with Pallavi's kitchen, also didn't wish to take risk of eating food made by her. Ranbir and Aryan too went behind Prachi and Shahana.

Prachi: Shaha, I will make pakodas, you go and continue your game.

Shahana: Why? It's you na, who always makes. Let me make once.

Ranbir: Let her make it, Shahana. Come, we will play.

Shahana (with puppy face): But I wanna make it.

Aryan: Then I am not taking risk. I will go and sleep peacefully.

Shahana: No one needs to go because of me.

All three looked at Shahana, thinking only one same thing, "Weird! Weird! Weird!"

Because, if it is normal Shahana, she would replied Aryan, "Go, who asked you to even taste, it would be your loss" but what is happening now is total upside down. She sat on kitchen slab humming song.

Shahana: Aryan, however, you won't help them both, so come sit here.

She gestured him to sit beside her. Both took deep breath by her sudden behavioural change towards Aryan and decided to ignore it completely.

Aryan sat with her while Ranbir helped Prachi to make pakodas. They were having fun in kitchen, Aryan and Shahana earning their glares in between.

While our Sameer and Srishti , yet wandering in deserted road, holding each other's hand, without have any interest to go back to home. Rain had stopped completely and the drops were fallen from the tree leaves with tickling sound.

Sameer: It is becoming dark, let's go home, everyone might be searching.

Srishti: But I want this walk to be eternal.

Sameer smiled at her: Our journey will be eternal and more beautiful than this walk.

She smiled and kissed his cheeks. He kissed back her cheeks and picked her and walked towards home.

Two weeks later:

It was their last exam in that semester. From next day, Sameer and Srishti's wedding functions were going to start. Everyone was very eager for that.

Srishti reached before all and was studying in library. After her, Prachi reached and started reading in canteen. Just then Ranbir, Aryan and Shahana reached. Shahana saw Ranbir and Aryan walking infront of her at distance and shouted to gain their attention. They both turned hearing her only to find that someone kidnapping her by making her unconscious.

Aryan (shouts): Shahana!!!!!!
