"Shivika" shouted Anika as she ran around the mandap trying to catch her one-year old toddler. Shivaay scooped out their little bundle of joy. She was a carbon copy of Anika only with Shivaay's kanji eyes. Anika looked at Shivaay and said, "she is a little hellion, does not want to listen to me".

Shivaay smiled and said, "it's payback my wifey, for all the times I had to run behind you". Anika said bhagad billa under her breathe and smiled and Shivaay pulled her in for a family hug. Its been almost 2 years they are back home now. All misunderstandings have been cleared. Everyone learnt to communicate more. Had his mum and dad just spoken to each other none of this would have happened but that is the past and today is Mahi's wedding. Rudra and Saumya had gotten married a year ago. Rudra handles the business and he is doing a fantastic job. Saumya has joined in him marketing and HR. Shivaay and Anika have a few of their restaurants all over the city. Om and Gauri run an art centre. Shivaay looked over to Om doting on Gauri, Gauri is 8 months pregnant and Saumya is 3 months pregnant. There was joy all around. The new grandparents were ecstatic.

Shivika was the glue that held everyone together. Everyone loved her. It was Shivika that found Mahi Chachu his dulhaniya. Jhanki chachi is singer and she sing at their restaurant at a few times. It was Shivika that brought them together.

Shivika jumped out her fathers' arms and went and sat between Mahi and Jhanki as the pundit read their vows. Everyone smiled watching the antics of this angel. Shivika was a ball of energy, Anika and Shivaay just smiled as she bounced to the next person. This was her Daadi Pinky. Shivika was the apple of Pinky's eyes. Shivaay watched amused as Shivika one by one removed his mothers' jewels and his mother just let her.

It was time for the family picture, and everyone argued as too who will carry Shivika. Shivaay and Anika just stood back and watched with amusement how everyone tried to bribe this one year old. Eventually, Shivika ran to her parents and settled in their laps. Afterall she theirs. Anika looked around and smiled at her family. Everyone has their Own battles to fight, it's not the actions that define you it's the choices. No man is an island everyone needs someone at some point. No matter how big the battle, its your loved ones that pulls you through.

The End.

AN: I am sorry for the wait. But like I mentioned life happened and I have a beautiful 5-month-old baby girl. We had prayed and wished for her for so long and she finally arrived my angel. For those of you that knows baby's and pregnancy can be quite demanding. And at that point I was fighting my own battle.

I hope you like the ending. Thank you once again for all the support, likes and comments I cannot begin to tell you how much it means to me.

To everyone fighting a battle... hang in there. It is always the darkest before sun rise 😊
