7 years later....
" Neav! Neav stop running." A man said running behind the small 5 year old boy.
"Catch me if you can papa!" The boy said laughing and was running around in a room.
" Neav please dear. Come to me. You have to get ready by 10 and it's already 9:30." The man said.
" Catch me papa." He said again.
" Son your mother would eat me raw if I didn't get you ready by 10. Please."
The man said pleading.
" Papa. You are no fun." The boy said pouting.
"Neil! You still didn't get him ready?" A woman said opening the doors of room.
" Sorry Avni. But what shall I do. He is so stubborn." Neil said.
" That's all because of you." Avni said.
Neil looked surprised.
" Neav come here right now." Avni said.
Neav quickly came to Avni.
Neil was shocked.
" And Neil what mess have you created in the room. Clean it now." Avni said.
" Ok mam." Neil said.
Neav chuckled.
" Like father like son." Avni mumbled.
" Papa! Papa! How am I looking?" A cute little girl of about 5 came inside the room.
" Aww my princess you are looking adorable." Neil said picking
" Navya is a good girl!" The girl said and giggled.
" For sure she is." Neil said.
" Navya baby will you please pass me that comb." Avni said.
Navya got down from Neil's lap and went to the dressing table. Then she bought a comb to Avni.
" Take this mumma." Girl said.
" Thanks baby!" Avni said.
Finally after five minutes both neav and Navya were ready.
" My two little stars. You both are looking amazing." Avni said and kissed their forehead.
Neil was smiling standing there.
" Come on let's go downstairs." Neil said. And picked Navya. And Avni picked up neav.
They came downstairs.
" Krishya stop baby please." An old man said.
" No way dadu you have to catch me." Krishya said.
" Shall we come in?" Someone asked from door.
Prakash looked at door and saw Mehta family.
" Ah Ashish. Welcome." Prakash said.
" Nanu! Nani!" Krishya said and ran to him.
" Aw my little princess." He said and picked her up.
" How's our doll?" Neela asked.
" I am fine. you tell." She said.
" Wow Krishya you are very smart." Dayawanti said.
" Ma, papa, dadi." Avni said.
Neav and Navya ran to them.
Avni went to neela and hugged her.
" Yay nanu nani!" The both said.
Ashish bent to their level.
" Who wants these chocolates?" Ash said showing three chocolates.
" Me!" The three yelled and took the chocolate.
" Thanku nanu!" They said in chorus.
" Now let them come inside kids." A woman said.
" Priya! How are you?" Neela said.
" I am fine ma." Priya said.
" Where is Krishna?" Neil asked.
" He is just coming." Priya said.
" Neela ji where are amol and Kareena?" Shweta asked.
" They are coming." Neela replied.
" Ok now let's sit." Bebe replied.
Everyone sat on the sofas while neav sat on avni's lap. Navya on Neil's lap and Krishya on Priya's lap.
" I think I am late." Krishna said coming downstairs.
" Yes you are papa." Krishya said giggling.
" Ok now let's start the rituals." Bebe said.
" Without us?" Said a chorus.
" Shivay bhaiya, om bhaiya, rudra bhaiya." Avni said shocked.
" Anika bhabhi, gauri bhabhi, bhavya bhabhi." Priya said in a same stone.
" Yayy everyone is here." Neav, Navya and Krishya said.
" Yes we are here." Said three teenage boys and a 12 year old girl.
They ran and hugged them.
" Surprise for you." Shivay said.
" Thanks bhai." Avni and priya said and they greeted the elders.
" We are also here." Said another group.
" Neil just pinch me." Avni said.
"Me too Krishna." Priya said.
Infront of them were Vidyut, mitali, and their child sneha. And riya Ali and their child adi. And also amol and Kareena.
The children went to their kids group.
" Ok kids. Come here." Avni said.
" Neav, Aditya, vivek, varun and adi sit here." Avni said.
All the boys sat there.
" Now Navya, Krishya, Sneha and shivani tie the rakhis around their wrists."
Priya and Avni were helping Navya and Krishya to tie rakhi.
" Now we want gifts." Shivani said.
From neav and adi, neal and vidhyut gave the gifts.
While Aditya vivek and varun bought from their pocket money.
Everyone smiled.
" Ok now it's our turn." Avni, priya, kareena, mitali and riya said.
Neil, krishna, shivay, om, Rudra, amol, Ali and vidhyut sat there.
Avni tied rakhi on krishna, amol, shiv, om, rudra , Ali and vidhyut. Even priya did same except that krishna was exchanged with Neil.
Riya tied on krishna, Neil amol and vidhyut and mitali tied on krishna, Neil, amol and ali.
They then recieved their gifts.
" Finally it's done!" Shweta said.
" Not so easily." Priya said.
Avni went to speaker and played song.
They all laughed and danced.
Avni was also dancing suddenly Neil grabbed her hand and took her to a side.
" Avni finally our family is so happy." Neil said.
" Yes it is." Avni said with a smile.
" Thanks Avni for coming in my life." Neil said.
And he kissed her forehead.
" Ahem ahem. I think there is room." Priya said.
Avni seperated from Neil and both looked at the direction.
Priya and krishna were standing there laughing.
" Priya today I will definitely not leave you." Avni said.
" And krishna today I will kill you." Neil said.
And they started to run around.
