JOURNEY FROM YOU TO US

| EPILOGUE |

4 years later

In Santa Clara, California

Author's POV 

The soft morning light filtered through the blinds, casting a golden hue over the room. Karthik stirred next to Vennela, still half-asleep, while she lay awake, thinking about the past few years. It was Avyukt and Aaryika's fourth birthday, a milestone in their journey as parents. She smiled, placing her hand gently on Karthik's shoulder.

"It's finally going to be the best day, we are finally meeting all of them in one more week, It's truly amazing feeling Karthik" she said.

"Exactly, meeting everybody in person is different than talking in video calls." he said.

"By the way, You stopped something you wanted to say at night and I thought it was little serious for you, I am all ears please tell me baby" he said.

"Ohh! That one. Antonelli guy was giving me high time. So I quit the job" she said it so normally. 

"What" he said making her to turn towards him. 

"Baby I am extremely happy for you. Finally that fucker needed this! You did it baby. Ayyindi manchi pani ayyindi na kodaka( some bad language)" he said lifting Vennela up in air. 

"Karthik... shh shhh... stop it. Kindaki dinchu( put me down) Pillalu lechipotaru (Kids will wake up)" she was trying to stop his animal version. 

"I won't and you look wonderful day-by-day can I understand what are you doing to look that beautiful?" he asked his wife and didn't life her down at all. 

"Kanna... please put me down, the kids... they will see us....." she was shy. 

"Yuki, GIVE ME MY BRUSHES..... AHHHHH MY BARBIEE, YUKIIIII" this shout of Aara definitely made them compose themselves before either of them reaches to their parent's room. 

"Modalainda? Abbaaa ( Did it start again. Oh my god!!)" gasped Karthik. Meanwhile Vennela tied her hair to up and was making the bed proper. "Go and check on them Karthik" she said putting a small smirk. 

"Roju rojuki nee koduku allari ekkuva avuthundi! ( Day by day your son's naughtiness is increasing ) he said putting some clothes in the laundry. 

"Naa koduku neeku kuda koduke, so better not complain to me about your own son, see what your daughter does (My son is son you too )" she said laughing. 

"Yeah same ways, my daughter is daughter to you too" he said. But in that time Aara comes to her dad crying. It is dad, and he melts down easily. "What happened to my baby, oh my dear" he bent down. 

"Daddy, Yuki took my brushes and my barbie." she cried. 

"Yuki, what is your work with barbies? Huh?! is this how you behave with your sister my boy?" he shouts so that yuki comes. But he doesn't replies. That's yuki. 

"Where is he now Aara darling?" asked Vennela. 

"Amma he left to Noah's house." Both of them gasped and started laughing. 

"Okay darling we will deal with him after he comes home, you get ready now" she said.

"Daddy pick me a dress today" she takes her dad from her mom. 

"Sure my sweet heart anything for you" he said. 

Like that, their day starts and ends with Aara's cries and Yuki's notorious behaviour. 

At night. 

"Maa howz the sky colour Black at night and bluee at morning.. and whityee at afternoon and purplishyy at evenings?" Yuki asked this.
