Bonus Chapter

She looked up at stars which were twinkling brightly in the dark sky. The moon was smiling at her, putting its light on her beautiful face.

It's been long since she talked with her dad. She fixed her gaze at the most bright star and smiled at it as a lone tear escaped from her brown eyes.

Cold wind passed making her waist-length hair blow in the left direction.

Today she doesn't have anything to talk or to complain to her dad who is looking at his daughter from above.

She was having just a pure smile on her face.

Her smiling face was saying everything.

She took a deep breath and rubbed her arms to warm it when she felt two arms around her waist from behind. She was startled but then relaxed feeling the presence which always gives tingling sensation to her body.

She smiled, keeping her hands on his on her stomach and pressed herself against him.

He smiled, burying his face in her crook of her neck, filling his nostrils with her strawberry scent.

"You know, this scent and you always make me crazy" he said, without moving his head.

She chuckled, moving her right hand through his thick hair.

"So, how was your day?" She asked.

"Hmm, OK, like" he answered, lifting his head, still hugging her.

"And why is it okay like?"

"I missed you. Earlier I used to see you daily in the office but now only at home, " he told her making a pout.

She slightly slapped his cheek. " You are becoming naughty and also lazy"

He turned her towards him, "think whatever you want to think, but I missed you and my princess a lot," he said and pulled her soft body in his embrance where he always gets peace. She also put her hands around his back and hugged him tight. His embrance always makes her feel protected and secure.

She stiffened when she felt something wet on her shoulder. She tried to pull herself from him, but his hold was tight.

"Shourya, what happened?" She asked softly, caressing his head.

Still, she didn't get any answer from him.

"Shourya" she called him softly rubbing his back.

He lifted his head and wiped his tears with the back of his hand.

"Shourya" she held her both hands, "look at me," she ordered like a boss.

He slowly looked at her, "what happened, Shourya? Why are you crying?"

He shook his head.

"Tell, Shourya"

"I was just thinking what would I have done without you. You came in my life like a light which was brightening my life with happiness. But I was such an idiot not to see that and I wanted to put that light out of my life unaware that if I did so, my whole life would go into darkness. Through you I got real happiness, I got to feel the real love" he confessed looking at her, "I am just afraid to lose you, Khushi. I will not be able to live without you. Even thinking about a life without you brings fear in me"

She chuckled and slapped his head lightly. "Idiot, why are you thinking this nonsense, huh? I will not go anywhere leaving you and the Princess behind, even if you try to push me out of your life," she said placing a soft kiss on his forehead.

"The day I will put you out of my life will never come," he said and placed his lips on hers. After a long passionate kiss which felt as if they were in heaven, they parted away, breathing heavily.

Shourya chuckled looking at his wife who was now becoming crimson red by blushing.

"My blushing queen," he pulled her cheeks.

He slapped his head when something struck in his mind. Khushi looked at him with confusion. He removed a black cloth from his pocket.

"Shourya, what's that?" Khushi asked by knitting her brows.

"Shhhh! Wait" he went behind her back and tied it on her eyes.

"Shourya, what are you doing?" She asked, placing her hands on that cloth which was covering her eyes.

"Baby, don't worry. I am with you," he said and took her small soft hand with his. "Come"

"Shourya, I will fall. Remove this cloth"

"Baby, trust me, I will never let you fall. You just have to hold my hand," he said softly and guided her along with him.

After like years for Khushi, Shourya removed that black cloth from her eyes. She opened her eyes.

"Sho-"

She gasped looking at the sight in front of her. The whole room was lightened by candles. The floor and bed were covered with red rose petals which filled the whole room with its fragrance.

She looked at the above the headrest of the bed. There were big heart-shaped balloons where 'I LOVE YOU' was printed on it beautifully, and there was a red velvet cake kept in the middle of the bed.

"Shourya - wha"

She stopped what she was saying when she felt something cold around her neck. "Happy Valentine Day, Love" he whispered near her ear and placed a kiss on her cheek.

A lone tear escaped from her eyes seeing his surprise for her.

He took her near the mirror.

Her eyes widened in shock when she saw the expensive chain around her neck.

"Did you like it?" He asked hopefully.

"Shourya, it's expensive"

He hugged her from behind "not for me"

"You didn't need to buy it" she said looking at him through the mirror.

He pulled his hands back,"why? Didn't you like it?" He asked thinking maybe he chose the wrong choice for her.

"No! no! Shourya, it's beautiful. I love it, but it's expensive"

He held her arms,"you like it, that's what matters to me. And about the expensive, it's not expensive for me if I take it for you," he said looking at her with love.

There was only love in his eyes for her.

"Thank you" She smiled.

"No need of that, love"

"Wait" she ran towards the wardrobe.

"Khushi, where are you running?"

"Just wait there"

She removed a small velvet box from the wardrobe and stood in front of Shourya.

She opened it and removed a golden ring from it and, taking Shourya's right hand in her hands, she slipped it in his finger

"Happy Valentine Day, my love" she said giving him a small peck on his lips.

He smiled and looked at the ring. His smile widened when he saw two hearts which were beautifully carved putting 'S' and 'K' letters in it.

"I know my-my gift is not as expensive as you have given me, but it's from my salary which I saved" she told him with hesitation looking down.

He lifted up her chin with his thumb "love, everything you give me is precious because it contains your love. I don't want expensive gifts of money. Even if you give me one candy with love, then it will be more precious for me because it contains your love." He was looking at her with pure love and affection.

She hugged him. "I love you"

He smiled and tightened his hold around her. "I love you too, baby"

'Love' is a beautiful four-letter word, but when your are with a right person that four-letter word can give you a thousand feelings.

Their lovely moment was broken by the crying of their bundle of joy in the cradle.

Khushi went and lifted Shanaya in her arms.

"Don't you think she will become a mood spoiler like those idiots who always disturb our romantic moment?" Shourya asked Khushi looking at Shanaya.

She slapped his arm: "Don't say that about my daughter"

He chuckled. "She is also my daughter. And you know very well that she is dada's princess" he teased Khushi, taking Shanaya in his arms. "Am I right, princess?" He asked, pulling his daughter's soft cheek.

She giggled.

"Come, let's cut the cake" He told Khushi and went towards the bed. Khushi came and sat beside him.

They both cut the cake and fed each other with love. Till then Khushi's phone rang.

"Now who wants to disturb our special moment?" Shourya groaned.

Khushi smiled looking at her husband's irritating look and received the call. She grinned looking at the people on the phone.

"Hey, baby, " Nitya's voice filled with excitement.

"Nitya, how are you? I am missing you badly"

"Seems as if Cutie Pie didn't miss her brother" Ritik came and sat beside Nitya.

Looking at Ritik, Khushi's smile widened. "I miss you both, guys" she said "so when are y'all coming back from New York?"

Ritik and Nitya shifted to New York a few months back as Ritik was working in A.R company in New York.

"We are also missing you, Khushi. By the way, where is your arrogant husband?" Ritik asked.

"Here I am, chimpanzee" Shourya came and sat beside Khushi.

"Hey, don't call that to my husband" Nitya said glaring at Shourya.

Ritik smirk looking at Shourya.

"But, you can call him a monkey" Nitya said giving a sheepish smile which made Ritik's smirk vanish and made all of them laugh.

"See, even your wife is at my side" Shourya smirk.

After talking with them, they hung up the call.

Shourya looked on his lap where their bundle of joy fell asleep. He slowly took her in his arms and kept in the cradle. He came and sat with Khushi pulling her in his embrance.

"This is where I get peace" he said looking at her.

Khushi kept her head on his hard chest. "And this is where I feel complete"

"You know today there is no one in the house" Shourya said with a glint of mischievness in his eyes.

She glared at him, knowing the hidden meaning behind his words, but her cheeks became red.

He chuckled looking at his effect has on her.

A brother may irritates his sister, he may scold his sister, but when it comes to hand his sister in another man's hand, he becomes overprotective about his sister. It's become very difficult for him to trust other men about his sister's life.

Sister's happiness becomes brother's biggest desire.

It was Neha's most memorable day where her life changed for the better a few minutes back. She has become someone's wife now.

"Will you keep my sister happy?" Shourya asked looking at Ayan who was ready to take love of his life, his beautiful wife to his house. He was looking scared looking at his wife's overprotective brother.

"God, what sin I have made in my past life that now you have gifted me with this dangerous brother-in-law?" Ayan complained to god in his mind.

"Yes, I will" he said, feeling tired of him answering the same question again and again.

Rahul rolled his eyes looking at his friend who is asking the same question again and again.

"Hey idiot, you are scaring him"

"You shut up, Rahul. I have to because it's about my sister's future"

"But, bro, you have already asked the 'will you keep my sister happy' question almost ten times now" Neha whined making all of them chuckle.

He rubbed the back of his neck. "So what? I am confirming that with him"

They all rolled their eyes at his overprotectiveness.

He went and gave her a last hug."I know you will not miss me, but I will miss you a lot, my baby sis" he said hugging her tight as his eyes started to water.

"Bro, I will miss you too. I will miss the way you use to tease me, the way you use to irritate me.. I will miss everything" she said hugging his brother tight.

"Hey, where is my hug?" Rahul asked looking at the brother and sister who were not ready to leave each other.

She broke the hug and went towards Rahul and hugged him. "I will miss you too, Rahul bro"

"I will miss you too, Neha. You see, there will be no one to share their cookies with me as you used to share them with me," he said making a sad pout.

She broke the hug, "bro, I was not sharing it with you... you were stealing them from my plate" she complained giving a slight punch on his chest which made all the family members laugh.

He kissed her forehead, "take care of yourself, okay?"

She nodded, wiping her tears.

"And Ayan, don't let a single tear flow from her eyes" Rahul told Ayan.

"Yes" Ayan smiled.

Neha told her good bye to her family and turned to go to her husband's house, which shattered Shourya's heart. He was not able to see her going away from him. When he felt a soft hand on his shoulder. He turned towards his wife,"I am going to miss her, Khushi"

She intertwined her hand in his, placing her head on his shoulder."Don't worry, she will come to meet us"

"You know, I am sad and also happy. Sad because now she is not that little girl whom I used to irritate, whom I used tease and I am happy because she got her love" he said.

She smiled.

"He will keep her happy" she said looking at the couples who were sitting in the car.

"Everything seems so perfect now" he kissed her head.

She just smiled.
