Shehnaaz opens her eyes and spreads her hands for Sidharth to hug. He hugs her from far.
Shehnaaz: Happy Anniversary. Can't even hug you properly. (She frowns)
Sidharth: Few more days honey.
Shehnaaz: Hmm..
They slowly walk out of their room and Shehnaaz was surprised.
"Happy Anniversary to you both!!!" In Chorus
Shehnaaz hugs Suchi.
Suchi: What's cooking inside bhabhi? (Points to her big belly)
Varun: I think it's a girl!!
Suchi: Nope, I think it's a boy!!
Varun: No, beautiful and little Girl like my bestie Shehnaaz!!
Suchi: No no no.. strong and handsome boy like my Sidharth bhaiya.
Shehnaaz: Stop fighting you two. I wonder how did you two, Mr. and Mrs. Varun Rai Singhania got time to make this little one in the crib in between your never ending fights. (She smiled and kissed the little baby in the crib)
Varun: Just the way the busiest Chairman & MD of the D&D Group, Mrs. Shehnaaz Sidharth Anand and the handsome CFO of D&D, Mr. Sidharth Anand got to make the one inside that big belly.
Suchi: Sshh.. Bhabhi you didn't tell me, what do you think, what's inside?
Shehnaaz: I don't have to think because I already know that it's LOVE!!
Sidharth: (laughs) That's like my smart wife!
Rachana: Okay everyone, come, let's have the breakfast!
Shehnaaz: Yes, mom give me few minutes, I'll freshen up and come back.
While everyone goes to the dinning hall, Shehnaaz stood infront of a big photo frame of JD.
"Dad, I miss you a lot! I wish you were alive to be a part of our happiness! I still remember the day you left us. As your daughter, I took over your responsibility after you and Sidharth stood behind me as a strong pillar to support me. Yet he works under me and he got promoted as a CFO due to his own capability, dedication and hardwork.
You feared what will happen to your estate after you leave, so here I am dad, standing in JD Mansion, with my family as a care taker to your estate which would pass on to your grandchild growing inside my womb."
As she spoke, she was unaware that she was being watched by Sidharth. He goes near her and pulls her into a warm hug.
Sidharth: Shall we go? Our family is waiting for us.
She nods and they join for a breakfast.
5 days later, Shehnaaz gives birth to a cute little baby boy.
Suchi: Woahh! Look at his grip, so strong. See I told you it's gonna be a boy!
Sidharth held Shehnaaz's hand and placed a feather light kiss on her forehead.
Shehnaaz: (smile) Love is what we sought-after, Love is what we found and Love is what we are going to treasure forever! . . . .
Luv: Daddy, I want Gelato!!
Sidharth: How about making Icy popsicles at home?
Luv: Yes!!! Daddy, that's going to be fun!!
Sidharth looks at Shehnaaz and winks. . .
To all the parents or future parents, money can buy things but not happiness. Happiness is found in little things. Don't spoil your children with choices. Let them learn to make good choices. It's okay to say no to them to few things even if you can afford it sometimes, that makes them accept rejections in future and stronger as a person.
We see many young children commit suicide just because they get rejection and failure in life. Saying no now can avoid future heartbreaks! Stay strong and face the world.
