A/N: Hey guys. This is the last chapter and I will soon be posting the epilogue.

After dropping them, Anika comes back and talks with Saumya and Gauri on the poolside.

"Bhabhi, aapne Dehradun main bacche aur office dono kaise sambhaal liye?" Saumya asked Anika.

"Shuruaat main thodi mushkil hui thi likin mere saamne wali aunty ne bahot madat ki. Arey likin abhi, Gauri, tum mujhe apni aur Omkara ki love story ke baare main bataao na." Anika asks Gauri, who sighs deeply.

"Ab ka batayein, bhaujaiji. Bahootahe atrangi kahani hain humri..." Gauri narrates how she met Om in Bareilly and how she got to Mumbai.

"Jab Omkaraji ko pata chala tha, ki hum chiraute nahi chirayiya hain, hume toh laga humara ram-naam-satya hi ho jaayega likin, bhala ho Rudy ka, jo usne Omkaraji ko sambhaal liye. Phir humne sabko apni katha sunai toh mummyji ne hume humare byaah ko ek mauka dene ko kaha. Aur dekhiye, aaj hum aapke saamne Gauri Kumari Sarma se Gauri Omkara Singh Oberoi banke baithe." She told her. Anika looks at the watch and gets up.

"Okay, ab mujhe jaana chahiye. Ansh aur Shivika ko pickup karna hain." Anika said and left. After sometime, she came back and saw some workers taking boxes in the children's room.

"Shivaay, yeh sab kya chal raha hain?" She asks and was about to enter the room but he stops her.

"Ek minute, abhi room nahi jaa sakte. Ek surprise ready karna hain." Shivaay said excitedly.

"Likin kya?" Anika asked again.

"Arey, agar surprise bata doonga toh woh surprise kaise rahega?" He stated and made her sit on the dining table with the kids.

"Papa, kya chal raha hain?" Shivika asked keeping her hands on her waist.

"Aap jaldi-jaldi apna homework kar lo. Phir main aapko bataoonga." He said and kissed her forehead. He went back to their room and Shivika sat down to complete her homework. Om came and sat next to Anika.

"Bhabhi, aapko pata hain, Shivaay ko maine pichhle saat saalo main itna khush nahi dekha jitna in do-teen dono main dekha hain. Its like...like magic." Om said.

"Isiliye toh baccho ko bhagvaan ka roop bhi kehte hain." Anika states.

"Aapko pata, Shivaay na bilkul..." Om tries to say but is cut in between by Anika

"Tanha zindagi jee rahe they." Anika says leaving Om startled.

"Mere pass bhale hi Ansh aur Shivu they, likin humesha ek khaalipan-sa mehsoos hota rehta tha." Anika speaks her heart out.

"Shayad isi liye Ansh aur Shivika aap dono ki zindagi main aaye. Aapke beech ki tanhaiya mitane." Om said making Anika smile. Shivaay comes down and clears his throat. Everyone leaves their work and look up.

"So, jis surprise ki main baat kar raha tha...it's ready!" He exclaimed, making Ansh and Shivika clap their hands in excitement.

"Ansh, Shivu; apni eyes close karo." He says. They close their and he ties a blindfold on them and guide them to their room, followed by the others. When the reached their room, Shivaay removed their blindfolds.

"WOW!" they exclaimed as they say their room filled with different kinds of toys and a trampoline. They ran and started jumping on it.

"Shivaay, iski kya zaroorat thi?" Anika asked getting pleasantly surprised.

"Mere bacche khush hain, kya koi reason chahiye?" he said.

"Haan...likin..." She tried to speak but felt short on words.

"Aap, jitna maine socha tha, usse bhi ache papa ho." She confessed.

"Aur...ek achha husband?" He asked.

"Woh main pata laga loongi." She whispered in his ear and winked naughtily. Rudra came and when saw the trampoline, he, too, started jumping on it. Om saw this and face-palmed himself.

"Seriously? Grow up, Rudra." Om said.

"What 'grow up'? Main toh abhi bhi baccho ki age ka hi lagta hoon. Haina?" He said while everyone tried to supress their laughter.

"Haan chachu." Ansh said sarcastically.

"Bilkul chachu." Shivika, too, said sarcastically making everyone burst into laughter while Rudra bit his tongue. They pulled each other into a tight hug.

(Lafzon ka ye rishta nahi, lamhon ka ye rishta nahi
Sadion ka ye hai waasta, Hai rooh ka raabta)
