"Dekho toh! Kitni pyaari lag rahi hai!!" Shalmali said to Raj with twinkle in her eyes. Raj peeped into the screen to look at the photo. A smile crept his lips. "Haa , nazar na lage mere bacchi ko!!" He said smiling.

It was a picture of Spruha , standing at the Westminster bridge of London. A white muffler rolled around her neck , her dark brown hair locks shining in the dusk light , with a cute smile on her face.

After their talk , shalmali asked for her picture. There was no doubt there were lots of photos of her and them together in his gallery , but this picture had his heart!

The story of the picture also goes long way , with Spruha's initial days at London she used to update her doings with her friends and family. She has also sent this pic when she visited the London bridge for the first time. Prisha had this pic too and it was Shantanu who had asked to forward the same to varad. At that moment when he saw the picture , let's say.... He was again LOVESTRUCKed...

..

"Tumne sharad ji se baat ki kya??" Shalmali asked as she served her husband hot pakoras.

"Abhi lagata hu phone.." he said munching the daal pakoda dipping into the tomato sauce.

Shalmali knew , there was no point in talking with her husband now. This foodie infront of her couldn't concentrate on anything else other than food!

Rajeev keenly looked at his wife who was glaring at him as she was making chapatis in the kitchen. He furrowed his brows looking , and she glared again now the belan straight in her hand. Rajeev paused a bit and then let out a laugh as realisation dawned him.

"Will call him now!?" He said showing his toothy smile. Taking his phone he moved to the garden sat on the swing , dialling sharad's number.

"Hello!"

"Hello sharad! Rajeev here. Kaise ho??"

"Mein theek hu! Tum batao??"

"Hum bhi acche hain!!"

"Toh aaj kaise yaad kiya raj???"

"Kyu bhai!? Apne dost ko mein phone nahi kar sakta??"

"Hahaha , bilkul kar sakto ho mere Veeru!"

"Oyee mere Jayyy!" And both the old mens laughed. Their talks continued discussing about their business life , family , friends , and so on...

"Hmm.. sahi keh raha tu!! Bade ho gaye ab bacche! Shaadi ki umra ho gayi!" Raaj said. He smiled as he remembered varad's childhood memories.

"Haa na... Meri sona bhi ab kitni badi ho gayi. Ab kuch dino mein shaadi karke chali jayegi sasural!" Sharad said equally smiling.

"Accha sharad , I and shalmali wanted to talk with you and bhabhi. Can we meet tomorrow evening?? Aa sakte ho??" Raj enquired.

"Ha koi baat nahi. Waise bhi mera kal half day hain. Aa jayege. Milne ka mauka bhi milega." He said.

So the Malhotra's and the Agarwal's agreed for their tomorrow's meet. Both the husbands Informed their wives. Both the families were looking forward for this meet up.

_______

As discussed , the Agarwal's were at the door to meet the Malhotra's. Shalmali welcomed them with warm smiles. It was like a small reunion for them. They remembered their old days when they used to have such small weekends together.

The four people's enjoyed eachother's company with lots of fun and talks. Shalmali served snacks to their guests as they were talking.

Rachana showed Spruha's photo to shalmali as they exchanged random talks.

"Oh my god! She looks so gorgeous!! I want such a pretty daughter-in-law!!!" And both the woman's smiled.

"Accha rachana , I wanted to talk with you regarding this only!" As shalmali said these words , everyone looked her.. she addressed raaj with her eyes and he nodded.

"We were thinking of varad's marriage. And we were thinking to ask you our proposal for our son. As we are family friends , this could be a good idea.!! What do you think???" She asked them.

Rachana looked at sharad and he nodded. Days ago they were talking about this topic and they had discussed about raaj's proposal also. Sharad trusted rajeev and with this their bond would tighten again!

"Umm... Shalmali ji we were also thinking the same thing. Hum bhi Spruha ki shaadi ke liye try kar rahe hai!" She said smiling.

"Yeh toh acchi baat hai!" Raaj said. "Then should we consider the proposal??" He added.

"Yess!! It would be so good to see our children marry eachother! Raaj I trust you for my Spruha!! Ad I know she will agree too!!! But I won't force her! It's her choice. As said , we had enrolled her name in one of the many marriage sites and she got proposals..... But she hadn't agreed with any of it. So , we would look forward for your proposal!" Sharad said smiling.

Everyone's face beamed with joy and shalmali bought Rasgullas on the sweet moment.

..

Sharad promised rajeev with the proposal and they both exchanged photographs of their children's. Soon ,the Agarwal's bid adieu to the Malhotra's.

However shalmali seemed little nervous. Raj noted her behaviour. As she settled on the bed taking the quilt he asked her , "kyaa baat hai shaalu??"

"Raj woh.... Humne shaadi ke liye haat toh maanga , par mujhe lagta hai hume batana chahiye tha... Ki..." She paused worryily.

"Ki.." he mimicked her to continue..

"Ki our kids are in love raaj!" She said sighing. She held the quilt tight.

"You know right.... Spruha is hurt right now!! And if she knows all this , she will think that she is forced! Varad loves her raaj!!! And I don't want them to break again... If she... If she rejects this proposal then??" She asked worried , tears beaming her eyes.

"Kuch nahi hoga shaalu! Everything will be fine! Abb Spruha hi hamari Bahu banegi!!" He said kissing his wife's forehead and taking her in her arms.

"Hayee rabba sab khair rakhna!" She prayed before she closed her eyes , letting the sleep consume her...
