Everything was just perfect as everyone had found their love. Dev said yes to Dia and Kabir was ready for his little brother Kunal's wedding with Disha. A week later the two siblings got married to the ones they fell in love with. The hardest part for them was to be separated from each other after living together ever since they were born. Disha said goodbye to Dev but she wasn't ready to leave. Dev went along with Dia to leave his little sister at Kunal's house. Kunal promised that he would keep her happy and so said Kabir who would be there for them. That night, neither Disha nor Dev could be completely happy. The siblings were thinking about each other despite being with their significant other. But now nobody was alone. Everyone had someone to share their life with. But Karan and Kabir, the big brothers of both the families were alone by their self and decided to talk through the night, sharing their happiness and sorrows. The two belonged to the same family now. Little did they know something had happened between them years ago. When asked about his life, Karan began his story first.
"If you have a problem in sharing your personal story, its okay". "Kabir, you're family now and I don't think its necessary to hide anything. Maya...my wife. We were married for seven years. I thought she was happy and I loved her more than my life, giving her everything that she wanted. A child would have completed our small family but I never knew why she didn't want one until one day she told me she wanted a divorce. She was long gone by then leaving a small note. Kiara was there for me when I fell into depression. I could've married someone else after that. I didn't, you wanna know why? I loved her and I couldn't forget her. Kiara, Dev n Disha never asked me about anything. They knew it would hurt me. I gave her what she wanted and soon I heard she was married to someone else. That's when I realized she never loved me". Karan spoke his heart out about his married life and wiped away a small tear. When he looked at Kabir, he didn't know what had happened. "Kabir..." Kabir got up and walked a few steps away from Karan, turning his face away form him. "Karan I'm sorry...she told me she was not in a relationship. I would've never loved her if I knew about you". Karan was shocked just like Kabir. He lost words and walked to him and kept his hand on Kabir's shoulder. "Listen..." "Karan..." "Its not your fault. You said you didn't know". "She did the same thing to me after a year". "Life is strange. We were meant to be together though. Lets not tell this to our little ones. I want this secret to be with us forever". "It will" said Kabir, he was emotional too. The same woman had married and cheated both of them. But the two were alike when it came to love. They embraced each other and waited for the next day as it was a new beginning for their dear ones.
Shanti had invited everyone in her house for lunch the next day. She was so happy to see one big family present in her house. Everyone got the ones they deserved to spend the rest of the life with in togetherness. Kiara helped Shanti to cook lunch and desserts because there was a reason for all of them to be home. Not because of the weddings but because a surprise was on its way. Everyone settled down after food and Shanti was ready to break it. She got up and stood in front of them all. "Listen, there's something special in store for all of you", she said. "Is that why you called us here ma?" asked Karan with a smile. "Yes Karan. Success after a long struggle is something to be proud of through out life. Kiara..." Shanti looked at Kiara and she gave everyone a gift in different colors. They were surprised to receive gifts without having an occasion. "What is this?" asked Kabir. "Well, I want you all to open it now!" One by one they opened their gifts and was surprised to receive the same thing. "First Love - Arjun Singh" read out Disha. Everyone looked at Arjun. They were all happy. Arjun got up and stood in front of them holding Kiara's hand. He was already emotional. "Dev... I want you to open and read the first page" said Arjun. Dev opened the page and read out a tiny paragraph that said, "This book is dedicated to my mom who made me who I am. To my beautiful wife Kiara for loving me more each day. To my big brothers Karan bhaiyya and Kabir bhaiyya for being the pillars and strengths of my big family. Last but not the least to my better halves Dev, Kunal, Dia and Disha for being there as my support system. Without your love I wouldn't have written this story. Thank you. - Arjun Singh". Once Dev was done everyone looked at Arjun, stood up and clapped their hands and hugged Arjun for his success. Kiara gave everyone glasses and opened a bottle of wine, poured it for all of them. "To new beginnings" she said. "To new beginnings" the rest of the family joined.
...and they all lived happily ever after.
THE END
