Seeing Nishi smiling after speaking with Kashish, Aavish asked, ‘Seems there is some happy news out there.’ Nishi chuckled and said, ‘Well, Anurag Bhai is there and Kashish was crying because apparently he was leaving from there then and he promised Kashish he won’t trouble her by meeting her again. And Kashish was in tears thinking about that.’ Aavish looked at Nishi perplexed and said in a surprised tone, ‘And you are happy seeing her in tears? Whoa!’ Nishi laughed and said, ‘Kashish is super stupid. Your brother is her life. She knows she misses him every moment, every second when he is not around. And I have seen that. Well, she is someone who never speaks up or shares her feelings. For her, your brother is her world. But that stupid girl always wants to sacrifice her happiness. She is worried if she gets married to Anurag Bhai, it will be a problem for him and again she is scared what if she loses him. I really hope she accepts the fact that she loves your brother. I know, something good is going to happen today. Hence I am super happy.’ Aavish said, ‘Well, even I am hopeful. Anurag Bhai and Kashish deserve to be together. And my brother is such a shy, reticent soul, he can barely express his feelings to anyone. But with Kashish, his chemistry is entirely different. I can’t believe he is so comfortable with her. That’s when I realised that Kashish is made for Anurag Bhai. Anyway, what would you like to have now? What should we order? This café has some nice stuff.’ Nishi replied, ‘I am not hungry now. I had thought of going for a walk. But it is still raining and the walk from the car till here itself was so irritating. I hate wet clothes. My hair is also wet. I am going to catch a bad cold now. Damn it.’ Aavish cupped his palm on his chin, with his elbow placed on the table and looked at Nishi and said, ‘Did someone tell you that you look more beautiful when your hair is wet.’ Nishi looked at Aavish and said, ‘Excuse me?’ Aavish immediately cleared his voice and said, ‘I mean, did anyone shower compliments on your hair anytime?’ Nishi replied nonchalantly, ‘No no, no one. As a matter of fact no one showers compliments on me, except for Kashish. Maybe I am not worth any compliments.’ Saying that Nishi laughed. Aavish told himself, ‘Only blind people will not find you beautiful Nishi.’ Aavish then asked Nishi, ‘Can I ask you a personal question?’ Nishi fixed her hair and said, ‘Well, go ahead. If it is too personal, I won’t answer.’ Aavish smiled and said, ‘Do you have someone special in your life? I mean boyfriend?’ Nishi smiled and replied, ‘No! Although I wish I had. But then, it’s hard to maintain relationships these days. So I am happy to be single.’ Aavish fixed his eyes on Nishi and said, ‘But not all relationships are difficult to maintain.’ Nishi nodded and said, ‘Well yes, but then sometimes work, sometimes studies, sometimes ambition, sometimes family, all of them come in between. And then relationships turn sour. More than that, there should be someone who will love you for who you are. It shouldn’t be that, that you like someone for some attributes and later on you don’t like those attributes anymore. It’s painful. So…. you know…..because of all these, I am scared of relationships.’ Aavish nodded, ‘Hmm. But then, you would need to settle down with someone someday. Would you still be scared then?’ Nishi replied, ‘Ummm, no. Because that would be marriage. And marriage is a lot about destiny and adjustment. So, somethings I will adjust and some I will pray he adjusts. I am not scared of marriage. I am scared of short term relationships.’ Aavish said, ‘So what should your husband be like?’ Nishi thought and said, ‘Well, I have seen my mom, my cousins, and I realised, at the end of the day, it is all about adjustment. There is nothing like a perfect husband. If the guy is responsible, takes care of his family as love and responsibility and not as liability, I will be super happy. Rest is about sharing and caring. I know myself well. I know I will support my husband. So, if too lends his shoulder to me when I need him, life will be cool.’ Aavish smiled. He then said, ‘So, you prefer love marriage or arranged marriage?’ Nishi thought for a while and said, ‘Well, don’t know. But somehow I feel, arrange marriage will be in my cards because so far cupid didn’t strike.’ Aavish said, ‘Hmm. Do let me know whenever cupid strikes.’ Nishi laughed and said, ‘Sure. I have your number. Will call you immediately and tell you.’ Aavish smiled and said nothing.

Saanchi told Mushtaque, ‘This is my dream date. Just you and me without your silly work.’ Mushtaque looked at Saanchi and said, ‘Silly work? My work is silly?’ Saanchi said with an irritated tone, ‘Yes it is. How much I hate it. But I know you love it and hence I too have to pretend to love your job.’ Mushtaque laughed and said, ‘Now, is there a choice here?’ Saanchi grabbed Mushtaque’s hand and said, ‘No, there is no choice here and I don’t want a choice either. I am happy being Mrs. Saanchi Mushtaque Khan and I am super happy with our bundle of joy Mehek. I don’t need anything else.’ Mushtaque smiled and said, ‘Is that your little world or do you want to expand it further?’ Saanchi said, ‘You know Mushtaque, Mehek is my world now. I feel, if I have another child, I might not be able to take care of Mehek. More so, she should never be deprived of any happiness.’ Mushtaque patted Saanchi’s cheeks and said, ‘If you are happy I am happy. Mehek is our world. If you are happy with only Mehek as our child, I am absolutely fine with it sweetheart.’ Saanchi beamed and said, ‘I know darling.’

Kashish said surprised, ‘You….you did not leave?’ Anurag asked, ‘Why? You wanted me to leave?’ Kashish said, ‘No no, I did not mean that. I mean…..’ Anurag came closer to Kashish, looked into her eyes and whispered, ‘I know what you mean Kashish.’ Saying this, he wrapped his arms around Kashish’s waist, pulled her closer to him and said, ‘Your eyes always narrate the story you hide in your heart. You are my world Kashish. You know as long as I am alive, I won’t let you suffer.’ Kashish put her forehead on Anurag’s broad chest, wrapped her arms around his chest and said sobbing, ‘I am sorry!’ Anurag brushed Kashish’s head and said, ‘Don’t be sorry. I know you since childhood. You had been through a lot. But trust me Kashish, I will shower all the love under the sun on you.’ Saying that, he held Kashish’s face gently, went closer to her and said, ‘Anurag is incomplete without his Kashish. Don’t ever think of leaving him. Please.’ Kashish wiped her tears and nodded, ‘I won’t.’ Anurag then went closer to Kashish, closed his eyes and kissed her lips. The rains created a ruckus, the wind from the windows blew the curtains apart, but Anurag and Kashish were lost in their world of love with their hearts pounding, and their bodies feeling the warmth of their eternal love. They were made for each other and the universe brought them together and will ensure they are together all their lives.

6 months later

Anurag’s phone rang. It was from Mushtaque.

Anurag: Heya

Mushtaque: Sorry bro, could not make it to your wedding. My work you know. Congratulations again!

Anurag: Thank you buddy. I understand. We missed you and Saanchi but we hope to see you soon at Aavish’s wedding.

Mushtaque: Oh yes! We will try to be there. You know I use the term ‘try’ because my job is such that I don’t know what would come up at that moment.

Anurag: Ha ha, yes, I know. But I am sending you the invitation right away for Aavish’s wedding. Hope to see you guys. Bring Mehek too.

Mushtaque: Yes bro. Will try for sure. Take care.

………………………………………………………………………………………

Aavish’s phone rang. He saw the number, smiled to himself and received the call.

Aavish: Hi!

Nishi (in her usual chirpy self): I called you to tell you something very important.

Aavish(smiling): Umm, let me guess….. you did not like the idea of me sending you gifts without your permission.

Nishi(giggling): Yes, that’s there. The gifts are two expensive and I did not like that at all. Hence I thought of returning those.

Aavish(on a serious note): Oh come on Nishi, don’t do this. Please. It took me a lot of courage to send you those.

Nishi: Well okay! I won’t send them back. But I called you to tell you something else.

Aavish(confused): What is it?

Nishi: Well, ours is an arranged marriage, right?

Aavish: Yes, so?

Nishi: Your parents came to meet my parents and then my parents told me about you and then after a lot of contemplation I had said yes and hence we are getting married, right?

Aavish: Yes. Now?

Nishi: But, do you remember, you had told me once that if cupid struck me, I should tell you and I had promised I would.

Aavish (worried): Yes I did. Now, don’t tell me, cupid struck you and you will cancel this wedding?

Nishi(on a serious note): Well, cupid struck me and ……..

Aavish (super worried): And what?

Nishi: And that person is……………

Aavish: Who?

Nishi (blushing) : Aavish Kothari……

Aavish (overjoyed, stunned) : What?

Nishi (smiling and blushing) : Yes…..I mean…….I love you Aavish.

Aavish(could not stop smiling) : I love you too darling.

Nishi(laughing) : I know that Mr. Kothari. Now I am all set to become Mrs. Nishi. But, yes, I am not going to change my surname.

Aavish(laughing) : You don’t have to sweetheart. All you have to do is change your house and live here with me. That’s all.

………………………………………………………………………………………Kashish got a job in a reputed college in the town and lived happily with Anurag. Aavish and Nishi got married. Nishi wanted to clear UPSC exams and hence she started preparing for that right after her wedding with Aavish.

And as for Mushtaque, well, he was so engrossed in his work that he did not know he had earned a lot of hatred from the criminals and he did not know what was on its way.
