Love's Unforseen Twist

Epilogue

"Where are you, my world,my blessing, my bacche Dua? I am going to give all these chocolates to Hazira if you don't want them!"

Her eyes widened at the mention of chocolates, and she couldn't resist coming out of her hiding spot.

"No, Baba! I want to eat them!" Dua exclaimed, her voice filled with determination.

Her father, unable to contain his laughter, scooped her up in his arms and planted a gentle kiss on her cheek. "Caught you, boom!" he said with a mischievous grin.

But Dua, with her adorable pout, protested, "It's cheating, Baba!"

Her father, still chuckling, responded, "Everything is fair in love and war."

Just then, a stern voice broke through the laughter. A young woman, approached them, scolding, "Kashan, atleast don't say that in front of our daughter. She's just five years old."

Kashan and Dua exchanged mischievous glances and responded in unison, "Ohho, senorita! Bade bade desho mein ye chhoti chhoti batein hoti rehti hain!"

They both exaggerated their gestures, adding a touch of drama to their words and burst into laughter.

"Hazira, listen to me, bachha," her mother called out, her voice filled with both love and exasperation.

But Hazira, a spirited three-year-old, had her mind set on one thing - she wanted her papa.

With a determined pout on her face, she darted through the backyard, leaving her mother chasing after her.

The scene caught the attention of the rest of the family, who couldn't help but laugh at Hazira's antics.

"Aww, poor Humaira, always running behind her daughter," Laiba remarked with a smile.

Curiosity got the better of Areeba, who couldn't help but wonder about the whereabouts of Sarah and Kashan since everyone was there except them.

"Where are Sarah and Kashan?" she asked, her voice filled with curiosity.

Hassan, always ready with a joke, chimed in, "Like always, they must be busy romancing!" His playful comment earned him a playful hit from Zaidan.

Zaidan couldn't resist teasing Hassan about his future prospects. "Let me ask the same from you once you get married," he said, playfully nudging his brother.

The sisters, finding the situation amusing, burst into giggles. Haania, never one to shy away from a challenge, chimed in, "It means we have to find a girl for our Hassan too!"

Hassan, feeling a mix of nerves and excitement, blurted out, "Common bhabi! Only you people can have this much guts, not me for sure!"

--------

Kashan's husky voice echoed through the house, calling out to his beloved, "Wifey did you see my files?"

Chuckling to herself, Sarah knew exactly what mischievous intentions lay behind Kashan's playful inquiry. "I'm busy, hubby," she responded, a hint of amusement in her voice.

"You've been trying these tricks for five years now. I know all your moves."

But Kashan was undeterred, his smirk revealing his determination. He made his way into the kitchen, swiftly capturing Sarah in his arms.

She playfully struggled to break free, but her attempts were in vain.

Just as their closeness intensified, a knock on the door interrupted their intimate moment.

"Mamma, mamma!" a little voice called out. Dua came running towards them, her innocent interruption bringing a smile to Sarah's face.

"Mamma, I'm going outside the backyard to play with Hazira" she exclaimed with excitement, her eyes gleaming with anticipation.
