Present

"Papa iss rishte ke liye kabhi nahi manenge!",

says Kashish, sad, walking ahead at the main hall of Sujal and Piyush's home, her back turned towards Piyush.

"Zaroor manenge. Main baat karunga unse.",

says Piyush, looking towards Kashish, shoving his hands into his trousers' pockets.

Smirking, Rishi says,

"Sir to waise bhi itni aasani se kuch nahi mante.",

and turns to look towards Mehak, giving her a possessive stare.

Mehak widens her eyes eyes, staring Rishi, asking him to stay quiet. Rishi laughs silently, staring Mehak throughout.

"Nahi Piyush rehne dete hain. Mujhe darr lag raha hai. Bekar mein tension nahi chahti main.",

says Kashish, feeling sad.

Piyush looks towards Kashish, knitting his brows and asks her,

"To kya chahti ho tum Kashish? Hum yunhi haath pe haath dharey baithe rahe?"

Kashish stares Piyush, knitting her brows tight.

All others agree with Piyush.

"Tum pehle ye decide karo Kashish, tumhe pyar hai ke nahi?",

asks Piyush.

That skips Kashish's heartbeat.

All others nod their heads in agreement of Piyush's question.

Kashish stares Piyush, dumbstruck.

Piyush turns polite and places his hand on her hand, asking politely,

"Pyar hai na?"

Kashish, staring Piyush throughout, nods her head into affirmative, slowly.

All of them smile witnessing her reaction.

Piyush smiles and says politely,

"To bus ab tum sub kuch hum par chor do. Iss pyar ke rishte ko tumhare Papa ke taraf se manzoori zarur milegi. Ye mera tumse waada hai."

"Kashish, ab jab Piyush bhaiya ne ye keh diya hai, to tumhe ghabrane ki koi zarurat nahi.",

assures Sanjana, smiling.

Kashish who had turned to look towards Sanjana already, doesn't look convinced by her words but smiles anyhow.

"Ye sub kuch Sujal ki wajah se hua hai.",

says Kashish, disappointed and looks towards Sujal, glaring him.

But Sujal instead of getting angry on receiving such a reaction from Kashish, smiles sweetly at her and extends his left hand towards Kashish, indicating her to come to him.

Kashish looks away, folding her arms horizontally on her chest.

That makes all of her viewers to laugh secretly.

Whilst laughing a little, Sujal says,

"Come on Kashish, tum janti ho tum mujhse gussa nahi reh sakti, to koshish bhi kyun karti ho?"

His words irritate Kashish.

Their viewers laugh at them.

Sujal enjoys teasing Kashish.

Kashish's cheeks turn warm out of shyness but she keeps a straight face, not laughing at all.

"Aur aap apne gusse ko control mein nahi rakh saktein!",

complains Kashish.

Sujal looks towards Kashish coyly.

"Kashish!",

he calls her out, lovingly.

"Kashish, itne pyar se agar koi mujhe bulata to main to fauran chali jati.",

says Sanjana, with a motive to help Sujal.

Rishi winks looking towards Sanjana, smiling.

"Bhabhiji maan jaiye na!",

teases Rishi, knowing exactly how much Kashish gets irritated when Rishi addresses her as Bhabhi.

Kashish gives Rishi a warning look,

"Rishi!!!"

All of her viewers purse their lips witnessing the scenario.

"Ji Bhabhiji?",

asks Rishi, purposely, to tease her.

"Maine tumse kaha tha na ke mujhe Bhabhi mat bulao!",

scolds Kashish.

Sujal shuts his eyes and shakes his head, smiling at Rishi's naughtiness, resting his fingers on his forehead.

"Arey maine Bhabhi kab bulaya?",

asks Rishi, teasing her further.

"Arey abhi to bulaya!",

says Kashish, surprised.

"Maine to Bhabhi 'ji' bulaya!!",

adds Rishi, smiling teasingly.

All of the female listeners roll their eyes while the males laugh at Rishi's witty reply.

"Itna samman diya apko, uski koi value nahi?",

asks Rishi, disappointed.

Sujal laughs silently.

"Tum hanso mat!",

warns Kashish, pointing her index finger towards Sujal.

Sujal's heart skips a beat hearing that and he immediately turns serious, though his smile doesn't leave his face entirely.

Sujal stares Kashish possessively, smiling sweetly at her.

Past

It has been a week that Kashish has confessed in front of Sujal about her feelings for him. Sujal surprised her by letting her know how they share a mutual feeling. Since that day nothing has been the same between them as it used to be earlier.

The project that they have been assigned together, after the Palampur project, demands them to visit a place near Palampur. Kashish wasn't prepared for another trip with Sujal in such a short time span. She wasn't CG's or Lalit's suggestion to accompany Sujal. It rather was Sujal who proposed in front of them to let Kashish accompany him.

No denial that his suggestion surprised not only all the members conducting and attending the meeting but Kashish alike. Kashish stares Sujal in utter shock! This is not how their professional relationship is like, in front of the members of the office. What is he upto? Didn't they decide that they will continue being professional with each other in the office quarters? Where is that determined Sujal? As much as Kashish has learnt Sujal in past one week, he has that immense power to control his emotions be it disappointment, anger or love! But what he is doing at the moment reflects his deep emotions for Kashish. How does he manage to surprise her every now and then, wonders Kashish!

"Uncle main chahta hun ke Kashish bhi mere saath jaye!",

states Sujal, clearly, without any hesitation, looking straight into CG's eyes.

Kashish stares Sujal in utter shock. Her cheeks warm up as if she has been caught red handed. As if her feelings for Sujal has turned transparent for her viewers.

Sujal, who is completely aware of Kashish's eyes on him, stays calm and composed, staring Lalit throughout, confidently, as if Kashish's staring him is not affecting him at all. But in reality only he knows how deeply is her staring him affecting him. And he would love to tell her about it, but this is surely not the right time to give her the satisfaction of witnessing his reaction to her stare. Patience is what she needs to have. Patience is something he has always dreamt of having from his partner. But despite that, surprisingly it was her impatience that had attracted him all the more towards her last week. After all her impatience resulted in her confessing in front of him about her feelings for him.

It wasn't that she never gave him chance to confess. It wasn't even that he never understood the hints and chances that Kashish had been giving to him. It was rather his conscious decision to stay oblivious to her hints and torture her further.

No, he is not a man who loves torturing his partner. He is not a sadist for sure. But with Kashish, Sujal doesn't understand why it naturally happened this way. May be because of her earlier resistance from him lead into his reacting to her in this manner. It was her punishment mixed with his desire to learn how much can she endure this tension between them, the tension that can be termed as - sexual tension!

CG and Lalit look towards Kashish to know her decision about it.

"Kashish, what do you think?",

asks CG.

Kashish looks towards CG and Lalit, perplexed.

"Of course not Papa!",

comes Piyush's reply, that makes all of them to turn and look towards Piyush knitting their brows.

Most of all Sujal gets affected by his words.

"Papa, Kashish abhi wapas ayi hai. She is new in this job. Abhi-abhi to isse aise projects milne shuru hue hain jin mein field work ho. She is not habitual to it. Isliye humein Kashish par itna pressure nahi dalna chahiye.",

suggests Piyush.

"I think Piyush is right.",

says CG.

"But I think ke Kashish ko dheere-dheere iss burden ki aadat daal leni chahiye.",

suggests Sujal, going against Piyush's suggestion.

Kashish looks towards Sujal, nervously.

"Aur hum Kashish ka agar track record dekhein to Kashish ne office join karte hi kayi-kayi din overtime kiya hai, and she was absolutely fine.",

reminds Sujal.

Kashish's rate of heartbeat picks up pace understanding that Sujal has now turned adamant.

"Sujal office mein kaam karna aur yun bahar rehkar kaam karne mein fark hai.",

reminds Piyush.

"Kyun Piyush? Kashish mere saath ja rahi hai. Main koi anjaan to nahi?",

says Sujal, knitting his brows tighter.

Kashish finds herself sitting helpless.

"Mera wo matlab nahi hai Sujal. Main...",

Piyush begins to explain but gets intervened by CG,

"Enough you both!"

Immediately they turn to look towards CG.

"Na Kashish bachchi hai, aur na hum na samjh hain!",

says CG looking first towards Piyush then towards Sujal.

Kashish cascades her eyes, feeling awkward.

"We know what's best for Kashish.",

adds CG.

Piyush, Sujal and Kashish listen to him silently.

"Kashish hi Sujal ke saath jayegi, that is final.",

CG announces his decision.

"Okay Uncle!",

Piyush accepts the decision without further argument.

Kashish looks towards Sujal. Sujal looks back towards her.

•••••

Kashish enters Sujal's cabin without knocking.

"Kashish!",

says Sujal, knitting his brows.

"Kya tha ye Sujal?",

demands Kashish.

"Kya kya tha?",

asks Sujal, confused.

"Tumhari ye zid mujhe saath le jane ki!",

says Kashish.

Sujal relaxes his brows hearing that.

"Do you even know main kya mehsus kar rahi thi wahan tab?",

asks Kashish, scolding him.

"Baith jao Kashish. Relax.",

says Sujal, calmly.

"How can you be so calm Sujal after what you did there?",

asks Kashish, knitting her brows.

"Kya kiya maine?",

asks Sujal, smiling a little.

Kashish sits and says,

"Tumhari ye zid mujhe saath le jane ki. Do you even know how embarrassing it was?",

she asks, frustrated.

"Iss mein embarrass hone ki kya baat hai Kashish? Bus saath le jane ki hi to baat ki.",

says Sujal, calmly.

"Tumne sirf baat hi nahi ki thi, tum zid par utar aye the!",

points out Kashish.

"Zid! Hmm... ab wo to main hoon hi - ziddi! Kya karun?",

smiles Sujal, without any regret.

"Main nahi bhi jati to koi fark nahi parhta Sujal.",

says Kashish, calmly.

That skips Kashish's heartbeat. They stare each other.

Their eyes transmit their feelings for each other.

Sujal very calmly explains to Kashish, by asking her,

"Kitna waqt hua hai Kashish humein ek dusre ke saamne apne juzzbaaton ko rakhe hue?"

Kashish keeps staring him calmly, not replying.

"Ek hafta!",

Sujal replies to his own question.

"Iss ek hafte mein kitna waqt humne ek dusre ko diya hai?",

asks Sujal, looking towards Kashish.

Kashish cascades her eyes, realising that indeed they haven't spent much time with each other.

"Office mein jo baatein hoti hain wo professional level par hoti hain. Aur mujhe wo sahi bhi lagta hai. Magar humare personal space ka kya? Tab jab hum ek dusre se office ke kisi project ya kisi file ke barey mein baat na karke hum... hum humare barey mein baat karein?",

asks Sujal.

Kashish remains speechless.

"Pehle hum ek dusre se khul kar baat nahi kar patey the kyunki tab humara rishta alag tha. Kahin na kahin ek formality thi; ek jhijhak; hichkichahat thi. Aaj jab humne ek dusre ke saamne apne dil ki baat khul kar keh di hai, kya tab bhi ye doori jo humare beech humesha rahi hai, usse rakhna zaroori hai?",

asks Sujal, seriously.

Kashish feels guilty.

"Kashish main zyada demanding nahi hoon. Apne juzzbaaton ko kabu mein rakhna bakhubi janta hoon.",

says Sujal.

Kashish's cheeks warm up out of nervousness.

"Magar ab jo tumhare saamne apne dil ki baat keh di hai maine, to kya ye umeed karna galat hai ke jo sapne maine tumhe lekar dekhe hain, unhe purey karne mein tum mera saath dogi?",

asks Sujal.

"Kuch lamhe tumhare saath guzaar kar, unhe yaadgar banana chahta hoon!",

says Sujal.

"Kuch lamhe? Sujal, jiske saath sari umer saath nibhane ke sapne dekhe hain maine, wo mujhse kuch lamhe uske saath bitane ki ijjazat mang raha hai?",

says Kashish, getting emotional.

Sujal's heart flutters hearing Kashish. They smile looking towards each other in ecstasy. Kashish, staring him throughout nods her head in affirmative, accepting his decision. Sujal smiles too, staring her throughout.

•••••

After two weeks

Sujal and Kashish walk through the narrow streets of Dalhousie.

Kashish wraps her arms around Sujal's upper arm as she shivers due to chilly wind.

"Hmmm... ye pehle kabhi nahi hua.",

smiles Sujal, walking straight, looking ahead.

Kashish looks towards Sujal in confusion and asks,

"Kya nahi hua pehle?"

"Tumne mujhe iss tarah pehle kabhi nahi pakda.",

teases Sujal, smiling wide, still not looking towards Kashish.

Kashish tugs her hair strand behind her ear in shyness and cascades her eyes.

Sujal enjoys witnessing Kashish's reaction, despite not turning to look towards her.

"Aap meri har harkat par nazar rakhte hain?",

asks Kashish, her eyes twinkling with amazement.

"Har harkat par!",

Sujal repeats her word, looking deep into her eyes.

Kashish stares him back and smiles shyly.

Sujal smiles lovingly, staring her.

Kashish turns serious, staring him throughout.

Sujal asks her,

"Kya hua Kashish?"

"Aur khudko dusro ke nazron se chupa ke rakhna bhi pasand hai apko.",

says Kashish, staring him throughout, knitting her brows.

That comes as a surprise for Sujal. He stares Kashish in awe!

"Siwaye meri Mumma ke, mujhe kabhi kisi ne samajhne ki koshish nahi ki Kashish!",

he confesses.

Shaking his head into negative, staring Kashish throughout, Sujal says,

"Tum bhi mat karo!"

His words pinch Kashish's heart.

"Aaj se pehle aap jaisa koi mila nahi!",

confesses Kashish, staring Sujal seriously.

Sujal stares her back, knowing that she would elaborate.

"Din mein apke saath hoti hun to apke barey mein sochne ka koi matlab nahi hai. Raat ko apke saath bitaye hue pal; apke har reaction; apki har baat ko yaad karti hun.",

confesses Kashish.

"Kyun?",

asks Sujal, innocently.

"Aap ek paheli ho. Main jitna apko samjhne ki koshish karti hun utni hi ulajhti rehti hun. Aap ek saagar ho, jiski gehrai tak utarna....",

Kashish shakes her head, staring him throughout and adds,

"Itna aasan nahi!"

Sujal smiles and blushes hearing that.

"Sujal ko gehrayi se agar koi jaan sakta hai to wo sirf Kashish hai!",

confesses Sujal, confidently.

Kashish shivers hearing that.

Sujal could feel her shivering and smirks.

"Kya hua? Darr gayi?",

he teases her.

"Iss gehrayi mein utar kar kahin funs na jaun.",

Kashish puts her fear in front of Sujal.

Sujal smiles understanding her emotions.

He shakes his head and lets her know,

"Iss gehrayi mein dafn raaz ko agar koi parh sakta hai aur usse parh kar bhi Sujal ka saath bina darey nibha sakta hai to wo sirf Kashish hai. Iss baat ka mujhe pura yakeen hai!"

"Kaise raaz?",

asks Kashish, knitting her brows.

"Raaz to subki zindagi mein hi hota hai kuch na kuch.",

smiles Sujal, looking towards Kashish, bowing his head a little, smiling infectiously, Sujal says,

"Tumhari zindagi ke bhi kayi raaz honge jo tumne mujhse chupa rakhe honge."

Kashish arches a brow, thinking, staring him. Then says,

"Meri zindagi ke eklaute raaz aap hain!",

narrowing her eyes on him.

"Really? How boring Kashish!",

says Sujal, acting to be disappointed.

"Maza to unn logo ke saath rehne mein hai jinki zindagi ke kuch raaz unke dil mein dafn ho. Jinhe janne ki koshish mein mujhe unke paas ana parhe...",

Sujal says the last words seductively, getting closer to her.

Kashish smiles. Her eyes twinkle and her mind gets prepared to run away from him as soon as he gets closer to her further. But as soon as she does as she thought, Sujal grabs her by her hand, pulling her back towards himself such that their chests collide. Sujal stares her lovingly. Kashish stares back.

"Itni asaani se tumhe khudse ab durr jane nahi dunga Kashish. Now that I am stuck with you, I shall remain stuck with you forever!",

smiles Sujal, infectiously.

Kashish blushes profusely, smiling wide.

They reach a roadside shop and buy two burgers. Whilst walking forth they enjoy the burgers too.

"Mujhe laga tha thakawat ki wajah se tum shayad aaj ghoomna na chaho.",

says Sujal, looking towards Kashish.

Kashish smiles and says,

"Irada to wohi tha magar aapne pucha to apko mana karne ka dil nahi kiya."

Sujal smiles out of love hearing that, looking towards Kashish.

Kashish after enjoying the first bite of her burger, extends her burger towards Sujal, as a gesture of asking him to have a bite. Sujal smiles and haves a bite of it. Kashish smiles. Sujal then forwards his burger towards her, and knits his brows lightly as if asking - do you wanna have? As soon as Kashish moves forth to have a bite, Sujal pulls back his hand and instead himself has a bite of it. Kashish fake glares him on being teased by him. Sujal laughs silently, enjoying her mood. Kashish distances herself from him, showing her fake anger. Sujal laughs and holds her hand to pull her towards himself. Kashish twists her hand to get out of his hold. Sujal pulls her such that she collides with his chest. They stare each other intimately. Sujal slowly takes the burger again towards her. Kashish glares him again for a brief moment but soon she smiles and gets ready to have a bite. She bites the burger and begins to enjoy chewing it, tasting it. Sujal upon finding her adorable, takes the bitten burger towards her nose to apply a little of the cheese of the burger on her nose. That skips Kashish's heartbeat and she stares him accusingly. She takes her hand to wipe the cheese off her nose, but before she could do it, Sujal holds her wrist to stop her and opening his mouth he grabs her nose lightly, licking the cheese.

Kashish blushes profusely at his gesture. She beats him lightly on his upper arm. Sujal knits his brows and looks heavenwards as if tasting the cheese. He then gives his verdict,

"Hmmm... tasty hai!"

Kashish smiles and blushes further and beats him lovingly on his upper arm again. Sujal laughs and gives her a side hug.

Soon they reach a beautiful garden filled with variety of colourful flowers. Kashish's mood brightens up further upon witnessing the beauty of the place.

"Ye kitna khoobsurat hai!",

says Kashish, moving forth alone, stretching her arms sideways to feel the soft breeze that is filled with fragrance of all the flowers.

Sujal's eyes twinkle upon witnessing Kashish enjoying the scenario. Bringing out his hands off his jacket's pockets, a Sujal walks forth and embraces Kashish by her waist, resting his chin on her right shoulder, smiling lovingly. Kashish immediately rests her hands on his hands. Maintaining his posture, Sujal asks her,

"Tumhe pasand aya?"

Kashish nods her head in affirmative in excitement. Sujal takes a deep breath and holds her tight, closing his eyes to feel the moment.

"Aap aye hue hain yahan pehle?",

asks Kashish, smiling.

They begin to swing in the silent music of love, as if dancing in a song, standing at their place.

"Nahi!",

says Sujal, keeping his eyes closed.

"To apko iss jagah ke barey mein kaise pata?",

asks Kashish, curious and excited.

Taking a deep breath, still not opening his eyes, Sujal replies,

"Maine yahan ane se pehle online sub check kiya tha."

Kashish's smile widens and her right brow gets arched in appreciation.

"Aapne ye sub mere liye kiya?,

Kashish couldn't help herself from asking him, blushing and smiling.

"Nahi! Humare liye.",

says Sujal.

Kashish cascades her eyes out of shyness, hearing that.

"Aur tum ye 'aap-aap' karke bulaya band karo mujhe.",

scolds Sujal, mildly, opening his eyes, knitting his brows.

Kashish laughs secretly, enjoying seeing him irritated.

"To kaise bulaun?",

asks Kashish, smiling naughtily.

" 'Tum' karke bulao na.",

he says, softly, leaving her.

Kashish turns to look towards Sujal, smiling happily, lovingly.

"Bulao na!",

insists Sujal, softly.

Kashish blushes, smiles and cascades her eyes merely by imagining addressing him 'tum'.

Looking towards him again, she keeps staring him.

"Aise kya dekh rahi ho?",

asks Sujal, lovingly.

"Kash ye lamha yahin ruk jaye. Tumhe apne paas humesha paney ka ehsaas meri aadat banti ja rahi hai Sujal!",

she says softly, staring him as if he is a magician who has casted a spell on her and turned her life so bright and beautiful by his gestures of love.

Sujal smiles hearing her and says,

"Acha laga ye jaankar ke main bhi kisi ki aadat bann sakta hun, warna to sub mujhse durr hi bhagte firte hain.",

smirks Sujal.

His words hurt Kashish and she says, resting her left hand on his right cheek,

"Ya shayad tum subse durr bhagte ho Sujal."

Sujal's cheeks warm up as he realises that she read her perfectly. He stares her like an innocent child craving for love; to be loved.

Cupping his cheeks with both of her hands, Kashish pulls Sujal down and kisses his forehead softly. Sujal takes a deep breath and embraces Kashish into a tight hug, keeping his eyes closed; his face expression all calm.

"Aadat aur zaroorat to tum meri banti ja rahi ho Kashish. Ek aisi aadat jise main zindagibhar badalna nahi chahta. Mere zinda rehne ke liye jitna meri saanson ka chalna zaroori hai utna hi zaroori meri saanson ko tumhari khushboo ki hai. Tumhe apne aas-paas; apne ird-gird mehsoos karke mujhe rahat milti hai Kashish.",

says Sujal, hugging her tight.

"Kabhi-kabhi darr lagta hai ye sochkar ke ye jo main tumhare liye mehsus karta hun kahin wo mera bhram to nahi?",

says Sujal, getting anxious even by the thought of it.

Kashish tightens her hold on him, her eyes turn teary out of deep emotions for Sujal.

"Aur agar bhram hai bhi, to main apni puri zindagi issi bhram mein guzar dena chahta hun!",

adds Sujal, closing his eyes, feeling her.

Kashish rubs her hands slowly non-rhythmically on his back as her emotions for him heightens up, her brows remain creased.

•••••

On the day of their return, they get met by bad weather condition and blocking up of roads due to heavy traffic. They see no other option but to cancel their plan of returning back. Kashish, upon returning back to their hotel try calling her father. Her initial tries go in vain again due to bad weather condition. But her fourth try gets answered and she manages to inform her father of her stay back. But what she fails to inform to him is that she is stuck with no one else but her boss Sujal, someone who doesn't have cordial relationship with Mr. Sinha. The line troubles again and she finally ends the call after giving to her father half information about herself.

•••••

The next day they manage to leave for their respective home. Sujal first drops Kashish to her place safely. They bid goodbye to each other smiling lovingly at each other.

Sujal pulls her lightly, holding her wrist, the moment she turns to leave. Kashish hits herself lightly against his chest, staring him lovingly, smiling.

"Abhi bhi keh raha hun wapas chalte hain.",

teases Sujal, but his face expression tells that deep down he is serious about it.

"Sujal!",

Kashish scolds him lovingly, smiling throughout.

Sujal takes a deep breath, staring her throughout.

"Tumse jitni bhi baatein karlun mann hi nahi bharta Kashish! Kuch ho bhi na agar kehne ko fir bhi meri nazrein humesha tumhe apne samne pana chahti hain. Ab tum hi batao main kya karun?",

asks Sujal, smiling, tilting his head to the left.

Kashish's chest expands and contracts in quick succession hearing that. She cascades her eyes, feeling shy.

"Intezaar! Unn tamam lamhon ka jab hum saath honge. Jab humare beech koi nahi hoga. Jab humara waqt bus ek dusre ke liye hoga.",

says Kashish, her eyes twinkling with love for Sujal, and out of anticipation.

Sujal keeps smiling staring Kashish. Kashish takes her free hand and slowly puts it in front of his eyes, as if covering his eyes, though not touching in the process, a gesture of asking him to close his eyes. Sujal, upon understanding her demand immediately, closes his eyes, smiling lovingly. Kashish kisses him softly on his left cheek and twists her wrist lightly indicating him to let go off her. He obeys without complain and without opening his eyes, smiling throughout.

As he feels the warmth of her body leaving his side, he opens his eyes and says, looking towards the retreating figure of Kashish,

"Intezaar karunga Kashish, har pal; har lamha! Bhoolna mat!",

he says, raising his voice to make himself audible to her.

Kashish spins to look towards Sujal, smiling bright at him and gives him a flying kiss. Sujal gestures of having caught it, smiling throughout. Shaking her head, as if calling him - 'Pagal', Kashish turns away and leaves for her home.

Sujal finally leaves for his home too, with his heart filled with love and faith that Sujal is stuck with Kashish; and Kashish is stuck with Sujal forever!

In their moment filled with love, they fail to see what awaits for them.

A marriage proposal from Piyush's family for Kashish! It comes as a shock for not only Sujal and Kashish but Piyush alike, who hasn't seen Kashish more than friend. Unlike the usual style where the people who are getting married to one another decide for themselves, here the parents of both the people who are apparently getting married to each other have decided for them, taking that Piyush and Kashish are having affection for each other, thanks to their constant staying together and going out for coffees and Kashish's not mentioning much about Sujal in front her father, owing to the fact that he doesn't think high of Sujal. He even once set into an argument with her father, which he is regretting today.

•••••

Now

"Mom aur Dad itne khush hain iss rishte se ke mujhe to unhe ye kehte hue bhi darr lag raha hai ke Kashish aur mere beech aisa kuch nahi hai.",

says Piyush.

Kashish feels sad hearing that.

"Papa ko kuch kahungi to pata nahi wo kaise react karenge.",

says Kashish.

"Kashish iss mein itna sochna kyun? Humne koi gunaah to nahi kiya? Pyar kiya hai! Shadi karna chahte hain! Wo bhi subki marzi ke saath.",

says Sujal.

"Sujal bhaiya, par kya aap ye baat Papa ke samne bina darey keh payenge?",

asks Mehak.

"Mera matlab iss uljhe hue situation mein?",

she adds.

Kashish looks towards Sujal while Sujal keeps staring Mehak.

"Kashish se pyar karna meri zindagi ke unn chand ache kaamon mein se ek hai jo maine kiye hain.",

says Sujal, seriously, then smirks.

Kashish's heart clenches hearing that.

"Isse apni zindagi se kisi keemat mein jane nahi dunga!",

he says, smiling in determination.

He then turns to look towards Kashish and says,

"Ab to ye bhi chahe to bhi main isse ijjazat nahi dunga khudse durr honeki!"

Kashish smiles wide, staring him lovingly, blushing.

Sujal extends his hand in front of Kashish, staring her sensuously. All others beam with joy upon witnessing their love. Kashish cascades her eyes out of shyness, then looking towards Sujal, she places her hand on his hand.  Sujal pulls her towards himself.

"May I kiss you?",

teases Sujal, whispering into her ear.

Kashish's cheeks turn warm hearing that, owing to the fact that they are surrounded by their family. She beats him playfully on his chest. Sujal laughs. They end up hugging each other in front of their audience who enjoy witnessing how they are stuck to each other! Not for now but forever!

-THE END-
