The Happily Never After!!

To the Moon and Back

Mira POV

" There you go Kriti !!" I handed her a pile of files , " See you next week!!"

She's going on a short vacay to well , Goa. And of course , being the dedicated person she is , Kriti just had to complete everything before she went. 

Kriti gave me a small smile , and rushed out of my office. 

Oh  , how lovely it is to go to a nice vacation ..no worries...no hassle...just me , peacefulness ...

My phone rang . 

" In front of your office ." Viyaan says. 

" You have something against , a hello?" I teased him , tidying up my desk. 

" I do have type of Hello in mind. " 

" Aww. Remember , we're going to Malhotra Mansion , not la la land." 

" La la what?" Viyaan asked confused.

I rolled my eyes , and rushed to the parking. There he was , leaning against his car , looking so undeniably handsome ...

Now I'm going to la la land. I gave him a small hug , and we're soon off to Malhotra Mansion  , to spend time with my beloved in laws. 

Viyaan and I were both almost smothered by Biji , who was so excited that I couldn't help but laugh. After chitchatting with for sometime , I followed Mom to help with the dinner. 

" So , " Mom drawled , " Is Viyaan treating you well?" 

I blinked once , and handed her the spatula , " Yes . I mean , yeah , we're really doing well together." It wasn't that I was hesitating , but I was a bit loss for words to answer this question. 

"I see." Mom cleared her throat , " So whenever you guys feel like it .." She trailed off .

I nodded in understanding , giving her a warm smile , gesturing her to continue.

" You guys should have children." Mom blurted , and for a moment , it was so silent that I could hear the sizzle of whatever was brewing on the pot. 

" Right." I said , awkwardly , " Maybe once we're more.. um.." 

" Actually , " Mom laughed it out , " It's my fault. New generation has new viewpoint about it. It's just , ever since I had Viyaan , I've been dreaming about holding my grandchildren and ....well , I must be silly ,  saying it aloud like that." 

At this point , I could only chuckle and pick up the nearest dish to serve at the table ( and run away) This Kitchen is just my place for embarrassing things. 

" Wow , " Viyaan said from behind me , " You look flustered. " 

" Um , " I didn't know what to say . It's obvious that we will have children in future , and then we will have to be their  Mom and Dad. It was a weird feeling , like something which is sweet but foreign. A child.

" Hello? " he clicked his fingers in front of me , and I jerked awake from my thoughts 

" Um , isn't prawn salad your first love ?" I held the china dish  up for him , and he smirked .

" I suppose ," Viyaan leaned down , and before I knew it , he had already pecked my forehead. 

" But you are love of my life." 

We were seated in the dining table , me on Viyaan's left. 

" So , have you heard Mira ?" Dad said amiably , smiling at Viyaan.
