A Step To You

Epilogue

Three months later...

"Darshu, don't you think our kids look beautiful togather?"

"You're absolutely right Archu, they look just like you used to say. After listening everything you said, I can't imagine it really happened."

"God's blessings, Darshu. My nagging and their destiny brought them togather. It makes me remember Gulki's father. We used to be so in love. But it was not meant to be. I just wish that they become inseparable."

"Don't cry, Archana. It's such a blissful day. And your wish will surely be true. Our kids are really made for each other."

The two mothers looked back at their kids, bickering in the kitchen. Gulki is taking out the freshly baked cookies from the oven. Yukti is holding the Tupperware. Poonam is sitting on the counter, ready to jump in and have a warmly baked cookies.

"Ammi, ma are you guys ready ?" Yukti came with two cookies and handed to the mothers. They nodded, smiling and took a bite.

"Oh my gosh your girlfriend bakes the best cookies Yukti, learn from her." Darshana teased the later who got shy quickly.

"Maa !! Come on."

Archana just laughed looking at the cute mother-daughter duo. Gulki came there with her bag and Poonam tagged along.

"Ammi, can't I really go with you guysss ~~"

"Yes ammi, can't Pooh come with us ~~"

Yukti winked at Poonam as they both pleaded the former to let Pooh come with them.

"No, no and no. Come on beta, we are going to your graduation ceremony. And Poonam, it's your first day in your new grade."

Poonam sulked and looked at Gulki who also nodded with Archana. Yukti bent down and whispered to Poonam, "It's okay pooh. We'll be going out for dinner tonight togather. So, now get to your school and be confident."

They smiled at each other and this time Poonam didn't roll her eyes. As Poonam's school bus left, the others also left in Gulki's car to their school.

They reached school and ran to where the ceremony would take place.

Yukti craned her neck to look for Santosh or Mira and Simran.

Archana was talking with Darshana, but she suddenly looked for someone and then stated, "Wait, Gulki left, I wonder where she went---oh here she is!" Archana waved.

Yukti suddenly felt Gulki behind her, but before she can look at her, Gulki gave her a left one-arm hug from the back, then hold out a bouquet of pink roses from her right hand. Her warmth crept up Yukti's whole system, making her heart thump loudly.

Aunt Archana and Darshana now truly cried.

Yukti felt herself blush, "Thank you!"

Gulki gave her a smile. Her hair is down today. It's a little bit wavy but fluffy. She wore liners today. Yukti stared at her.

Yukti thought Why is her girlfriend so breath-takingly handsome?! (≤)~

"Students, please go to your respective sections," the teacher on stage announced.

"Beta, give me the bouquet first, both of you go to your class," Darshana said.

Gulki removed her arm from Yukti. "We'll go first." She grabbed hold of the later's hand and they walked.

Yukti looked at their hand in surprise.

Gulki chuckled, "Why are you always surprised whenever I do this?"
