"Let them in Roony or are you gonna ask everything on the door only ",Vivan's mom shouted from inside,"fine get in bro your child missed you badly ".

Gowen's eyes sparkled as he toddled towards the door, babbling excitedly in his unique baby language. "Dada! Pops! Dada !"

Vivan and Karan exchanged warm smiles as they entered the house, eager to reunite with their little bundle of joy. Vivan's parents beamed with pride, happy to see the family together again.

As Vivan scooped up Gowen, the toddler wrapped his tiny arms around his father's neck, squealing "Pops!" over and over. Karan couldn't resist joining in, showering Gowen with kisses and playful tickles.

Gowen giggled uncontrollably, his words tumbling out in an adorable jumble. "Dada! Wow wow!you bact I mitt u swo mutch!","I missed you too my little munchkin",Karan said picking him up and hugging him,this made Gowen giggle .

Vivan's mother asked, "How was your holiday, boys? Did you have a good time?"

Vivan replied, "It was wonderful, but we missed our little champ here. How was he?"

Karan added, "We're eager to hear all about it. Did he keep you on your toes?"

Vivan's father chuckled, "Oh, he's a bundle of energy! But we managed to keep him happy with lots of playtime and storytelling."

Gowen, still in Karan's arms, piped up with "Ga ga goo! Wow wow!" as if sharing his own adventures.

Vivan's mother smiled, "We also taught him some new nursery rhymes. He loves singing along!"

As the family chatted, Gowen continued to babble excitedly, his eyes shining with happiness. It was clear that he was thrilled to have his Dada and Pops back home.

In this heartwarming reunion, love and joy filled the air, a testament to the special bond between Gowen and his family.

At Karan's house after few days

Karan's father, Mr. Sharma, stood outside Karan's door, his heart heavy with regret. He had realized too late that he had made a grave mistake by rejecting Karan and Gowen.

He took a deep breath and knocked on the door. Karan opened it, looking cautious.

"Dad...what are you doing here?"

Mr. Sharma's eyes welled up with tears. "Karan, I'm so sorry. I was wrong to reject you and Gowen and I even hurted that doctor Viavan please forgive me bete I  now  realise that I was blinded by my own biases."

Karan's expression softened slightly. "What made you change your mind?"

Mr. Sharma stepped inside, his eyes scanning the room until they landed on Gowen, who was playing with toys on the floor.

"I saw how happy you both are together. I saw how much love you have for each other. And I realized that I had been hurting the people I love the most,I love you my son and that day when you told me that Gowen is just incarnation of his dad I realised how much I did wrong with my own son's child with my own blood, I realised that hurting Gowen means I am hurting his father,my son too ,if he is watching us from above I really apologise to him for misbehaving and cursing his child,your words made me feel that I was so wrong I was just caring about society not about the people whom I love, I am really sorry ", saying this Karan's father eyes teared up ,few drops of tear were flowing from his eyes.

Karan  quickly wiped the tears from my father's eyes and hugged him."it's ok dad, you realised it, that only matters,just forget about the past".

Gowen looked up, sensing the tension in the room.

Mr. Sharma knelt down beside him. "Gowen, I'm so sorry for hurting you. You deserve all the love in the world, and I'm honored to be your grandfather."

Gowen's face lit up with a smile. "Glandpa!Glandpa"

Karan's mother, Mrs. Sharma, entered the room, tears streaming down her face. "Karan, beta, we're both so sorry. We were wrong to reject you and Gowen. Please forgive us."

Karan's heart swelled with emotion as he hugged his parents tightly. "I forgive you, Mom. Dad. I just want us to be a family again."

As they hugged, Mr. Sharma whispered, "We'll do better, Karan. We promise."

And in that moment, they knew that their family was whole again, bound by love and acceptance.

As they hugged, Vivan walked into the room, a smile on his face. "Hey, what's going on?"

Karan's eyes sparkled with tears. "My parents are apologizing for their mistakes. They're accepting us for who we are."

Vivan's face lit up with joy. "That's amazing!"

Mr. Sharma turned to Vivan, his eyes filled with regret. "Vivan, we're so sorry for not accepting you earlier. You're a wonderful partner to Karan, and we're grateful to have you in our family."

Vivan's eyes welled up with tears. "Thank you, Mr. Sharma. That means a lot to me."

Mrs. Sharma nodded in agreement. "Yes, Vivan, you're a part of our family now. We'll support you and Karan every step of the way."

As they hugged again, Gowen ran into the room, excitedly chattering about his toys. The room was filled with laughter and tears of joy, a sense of closure and new beginnings.

Karan's family was finally whole, bound by love, acceptance, and a deep understanding of what truly mattered.

As they sat down to dinner together, Karan leaned over to Vivan and whispered, "I'm so grateful for this moment."

Vivan smiled, his eyes shining with love. "Me too, my sweetheart. Me too."

As they finished dinner, Mrs. Sharma turned to Karan and Vivan with a warm smile. "We want to make it up to you both. Let's plan a big family celebration, with all our loved ones. A new beginning for our family."

Karan's eyes lit up with excitement. "That sounds amazing, Mom!"

Vivan nodded in agreement. "We'd love that."

Mr. Sharma stood up, a determined look on his face. "I'll start making calls tomorrow. We'll make this the best celebration ever."

As they discussed the plans, Gowen fell asleep in Karan's arms, a contented smile on his face.

Vivan leaned over and whispered, "This is what happiness feels like."

Karan smiled, his heart full of love. "I know. I've never been happier."

As the night came to a close, Karan's family hugged each other tightly, grateful for a second chance at love and acceptance.

The next morning, Karan woke up to find Vivan already up, making breakfast in the kitchen.

"Good morning, my love," Vivan said, with a smile.

Karan walked over and hugged him from behind. "Good morning, my sweetheart."

As they cooked breakfast together, Karan knew that this was just the beginning of their happily ever after.
