EPILOGUE

*Time Skip* (2 years)

MAANVI'S POV

For the last 2 years, my life has been like a fairy tale. I and Ishaan learn something new about one another every day and we grow closer if that's even possible. After we got married the inauguration of the Maldives hotel happened and it was a major success as of now it is one of the top 5 hotels in the Maldives. Currently, we are in the Maldives to take a small break from our busy life back in Delhi. I became the official designer for the company. At first, I thought it was because I'm Ishaan's wife but it was decided during the Maldives project to make me a permanent designer.

We reached the Maldives in the afternoon and currently, we are resting by the pool. I open my camera and click pictures of Ishaan who is pool playing with a small girl who we meet when we arrived here and from then they have been playing. I take a few pictures and go sit beside the small girl's mom and talk with her. We have lunch together afterward. We go back to the room and Ishaan immediately lies on the bed as he is tried playing in the water. As he was sleeping I do some editing for my video which I already filmed and schedule it for upload.

In the night, Ishaan arranged a beautiful candlelight dinner. Throughout the night, we talk about our first date and reminiscing the old times. As we go to the room I feel sick and a slight headache starting. I put some tablets and don't tell Ishaan as he will get worried. I sleep early to let the tablet act on my body.

The next day we go to places which we couldn't visit last time. We roam until lunchtime and after eating lunch Ishaan booked us a bike. At first, I was scared to ride but I sat and held onto Ishaan with all my strength. we go where the road leads but we put the GPS on. I hug Ishaan and enjoy the wind and nature around us. Moments like this make me appreciate life more. We even  got matching tattoos and I love it as I and Ishaan designed it together.

*Last day in the Maldives*

Today is the last day in the Maldives and we go shopping in the morning to get some souvenirs. We separate to buy for different people and I go into a cute store and I decided to get a present for Ishaan. I buy him a cute badge that has a personalized print on it.

We go back to the hotel in the afternoon for lunch and I secretly tell the manager to arrange a small decoration in the private hall Ishaan has in the hotel. I told him how to decorate. We decided to take a nap as we were very tired roaming for almost 4 hours.  At around 4, as Ishaan was sleeping I sneak out and go see the preparations and make a little change. I go back into the room and take out Ishaan's suit and I get ready. I write a little note for him to see.

It's almost 6:30 when Ishaan calls me telling me he was ready. I told him to come down. I off all the lights and as soon as he opens the door the switch on the lights for him to see all the decor. He immediately comes and hugs me and whispers "I love you" I smile "I love you too, "I say. We sit down and have a romantic dinner. We had soft music playing in the background and suddenly Ishaan gets up and asks me to dance with him. We sway to the music and look into each other's eyes appreciating what we have and capturing the moment.

As the night was ending, I make him sit on the chair and hand him a nicely wrapped box. " angel we decided not to buy gifts for each other "he smiles but takes as I insisted. I stare at him she opens the packaging and as soon as he opens he stays still without moving and tears well up in my eyes. He just looks at him and I nod. He quickly gets up and hugs me tightly and lifts me up. I hold onto his shoulders so I don't fall. He puts me down and keeps repeating thank you ." thank you for giving me a precious gift," I say and smile into his shoulder. he puts his hand on my stomach and rubs it gently. I bring the badge and put it on him .its says the best dad in the world.

As soon as we land we directly go to ma and pa's hose to give them a surprise. We enter the house and everyone is doing their own thing. The first one to see us was Aaru and she jumps from the sofa and runs to hug me but Ishaan stands in front of me to stop her and instead of me he hugs her.  Soon everyone gathers around the hall area and we give them their bags. I bought them customized t-shirts that say best grandma, grandpa, aunt, and uncle. As soon as they realize what it meant they came and hugged me. I called my mom and dad and told them the good news.

We stayed in Ma and Papa's house for the night and we have our spare clothes just in case a situation like this comes. I wash my hair as I was feeling irritated. I wear my nightwear and sit on the bed and start drying my hair. as I was drying I feel a hand on my head. I turn to see Ishaan also in his nightwear. " Angle let me do it " he says and brings a hairdryer from the bathroom and plugs it. he makes me sit facing him and gently dries my hair to a towel all the while making eye contact with me. after that, I lie on his lamp and he turns on the dryer at a low frequency as he knows I get a headache with the high frequency. after drying my hair completely, he puts the hairdryer back and comes and hugs me and we talk about the baby and the names and we slowly drift off to sleep dreaming about our future child.

*Time Skip*{12 years}

MAANVI'S POV

These past 12 years we have some best days of our lives and some worst days but I would never change it. Currently, I'm in the kitchen preparing lunch and Ishaan is playing with the kids in the backyard. As I'm busy preparing lunch our dog Max keeps me company by sitting near the fridge and looking at me. As I finish preparing I take the plates into the dining table. Ishaan comes and hugs me from behind and kisses my forehead and takes the dishes to the dining table. I call the twins who are playing football outside. " Aadarsh, Advika come to have lunch " I shout and they come running.  " wash your hands" I say sternly as they were about to touch the plates.

We sit together and each lunch. I and Ishaan try to spend as much time as possible with the twins for them not to feel neglected. We have movie nights and it is a rule that we have to have breakfast and lunch together. It makes us close and bond with each other. After lunch I and Ishaan go to our room and kids go to theirs as they were tired playing.  Ishaan rests and I clean up the cupboard as it was unorganized.

As I was cleaning up I found old photo albums. I go and sit with Ishaan on the bed who is sitting on the bed. We flip through the first album and the pictures were taken during the baby shower and after the birth of the twins.  Looking through it brought back so many memories on how we were very happy to find out that we were having twins and the first kick and all those sleepless nights we spent in bed taking. Unknowingly tears start flowing and Ishaan silently hugs me from the side.

I hear a knock on the door and I wipe my tears and get up and open the door to see twins standing there. They rush inside and jump on the bed. " ma is it your wedding album? we want to see"Aadarsh asks and opens the album. It was actually the album I gifted Ishaan on our 1st anniversary. "mama how did you meet papa? " Advika asks and I just smile and look at Ishaan and gently pat on their heads and ask them " Do you want to listen to how I met papa ?" they eagerly nod their heads and I start to tell them. and that how we spent our evening and night cuddling and chatting.
