One year later

Ishqi awoke to the sound of arti, she smiled it was her mother-in-law Savitri. She didn't know she sang so beautifully. Every morning was graced with her music. Suddenly nausea hit and she ran to the bathroom.

She was throwing her guts out and someone held her hair behind. She emptied all the contents of last night into the basin while Ahaan stood patiently behind her stroking her back. Once finished he took her hand and bought her to the room. He wiped her mouth and she hid her face in her hands

"Why is it still embarrassing Ishqi, I am your husband" he said removing her hands

"I must be looking so bad" she sighed

"You look beautiful darling" he says moving her hair away from her face

" As if, you must be joking" she gets angry

He backs hugs her "now that you have our baby growing in you, you look more beautiful "

She sees at him and realises he was telling the truth. She still remembered the day when she had told him that they were going to be parents. His happiness knew no bounds, and the entire family was on cloud nine. Since then everyone had taken care of her like their own.

There was a knock on the door, and Ishqi smiled. It must be dadi again with her crackers and milk.

"Is the nausea still there dear" dadi asked her concerned

But one look at her confirmed it. She sat down and fed Ishqi herself

"Are you going to just stand and watch" she scolded Ahaan

"Nnn..o., I will go and get ready" he said and left from there.

Ishqi looked at dadi, and they smiled

"Thank you Ishqi, without you this would not have been possible" dadi held her hand

" Of course dadi, as if Ahaan can make a child himself" she laughed, dadi looked at her wide eyed

"Oops joke gone wrong" thinks Ishqi

But she hears dadi laughing and relaxes.

"True , but I am talking about Ahaan and my relationship. If u had not asked him to talk to me, he wouldn't have. We haven't spoken from the past one year. He wasn't even looking at me. He stayed here only because Savitri asked him too" her eyes misted

It was true that Ahaan hadn't spoken to his dadi since their marriage. Ishqi had tried convincing him that dadi was just insecure and didn't want to lose him, that's why she did all that, but he was still punishing them both. She could see even Ahaan was not happy about it

So finally when Ishqi had announced her pregnancy and Ahaan was so happy she took her chance and asked him to forgive dadi. He had agreed and slowly started talking, but they had to go long way.

Ishqi hugged dadi " I just want my whole family to be together"

Dadi wiped her eyes " now go get ready, I will pack your box for office"

Ishqi nodded and started getting ready. She was blessed to have such a sweet and caring family.

Ahaan got ready and was waiting for Ishqi to get ready so he could drop her to office. She was ready and said let's go.He looked up from his phone and his gaze halted on her. She looked so beautiful in a red saree, even though it was just plain. Her pregnancy glow was already showing, and so was her happiness. He was glad he was partly responsible for it.

He came and pulled her to him, her eyes widened.

"Sorry... I didn't mean to hurt you" he said and held her firmly

"I am just pregnant Ahaan, I won't break don't worry" she said putting her hands around his neck

He lowered his head and just about to touch her lips when the door opened with a bang

Ahaan cursed " haven't you heard of privacy Karthik"

"Aree bhai I am not even sorry anymore, Bhabhi is pregnant, atleast leave her now" he teased " and you should lock your door"

"accha beta, just wait I will take revenge. I will also barge in your room after a month" Ahaan replied.

"Are bhai I was kidding, I am sorry ok. Bhabhi see na how bhai is saying" he came to Ishqi making a puppy face

"Kyun tang kar rahe ho mere pyaare devar ko " ishqi took Karthik side

"Acha ab bhabhi devar ek ho gaye aur mujhe side main kar diya" ahaan complained " apne devar ko hi bolna ofc chodne ke liye" he says and goes out but before Karthik could say anything he came in again, pecked her on the cheek " call me if you feel unwell. No overworking" he warned and left

"Such a over bearing husband" Karthik commented

" But I love it" ishqi said dreamily.

" Haiyeee so sweet.. I am really happy for you guys" Karthik says sincerely

Ishqi smiles, so was she happy for them" so what brings you so early on to our room devarji" she asks sweetly

"I always wanted to marry Shefali but I am getting nervous now" he tells her

She makes him sit down "it's obvious to feel some nervousness, after all you're going to add a person to your life. Don't worry however difficult things are, till you are with each other nothing will go wrong. Just support each other at every step of your life"

That relaxed him and he hugged her " love you bhabs,I will drop you come down at your own time" he said as he exited her room

She didn't need anyone to drop her but no one listened. They insisted someone drop her an pick her every day. It was usually ahaan but all members contributed sometimes even Shefali. Every woman needs pampering during this time, and she was so happy she got it.

She was happy for Kartik and Shefali too, finally they were getting married in a month.
She couldn't forget her wedding day, not just because they got married but because Karthik proposal happened that day. She still remembered how it happened

Their wedding was just over and shelfali had got down on her knees. She smiled, yes, this time it wasn't Karthik but Shefali who had taken the initiative and proposed to Karthik. He was in so much shock that he frezzed and shefali got worried he might say no. Slowly he had come out if his daze and said yes. What a memorable day it was. She came down and met Savitri, who fed her nicely before she left for office.

She was going out to her car, along with Karthik when she saw a car coming in

" Good morning beta, how are you today" Suraj asked her

" I am good uncle, mummy is inside" she said and winked

" Naughty girl " he laughed and went

" What was that all about" Karthik asked

" We might have another wedding soon after yours" she smiled. She had already spoken to Ahaan how Savitri and Suraj were good friends, and if they were interested, he should get them married. Her mother-in-law had suffered so much, she wanted her to be happy. Ahaan didn't take it well initially but soon realised that even though his mom had them she may be lonely. He had promised to speak to them both and support them if they wished to stay together.

She smiled and left for her office; her life was as perfect as it could be. She looked at the sky and thanked her mother for the blessings she had given her.
