Mumbai..
The days were passing. Kavin was happy, happy to know that her birthday was arriving, though he was not sure if she'll come back to him or not. He was busy in decorating her room, placing everything at its original place, buying somethings for her. Juhi saw her son in her room and stopped to glance at him. He seemed happy….In the past two years, it was the first time, he was smiling. She was happy to see him happy. Kavin turned as he felt her presence…
Kavin- Kya dekh rahi ho Mom?
Juhi(Smiles)- yahi dekh rahi hoon ki mera beta kitna khush hai.
Kavin- Han, kyunki pari ka birthday jo aa raha hai. (he was sad and looked at her) but mom, wo aayegi na?
Juhi(cups his face with one hand)- Zaroor aayegi.
He smiles and at the same time Sumit called for them and they went outside.

Michigan
Kuki was in her room sitting near the window, looking at the snow falling outside. It was her birthday month and by now, snowfall was something she was used to. She smiles as she remembers the day when she with Kavin and his family went to Shimla and they played with snow.
*Flashback Starts*
They were in the hotel room where Kuki was looking outside the window. She was happy and chuckling watching the falling snow. Juhi turned to her….she smiled….
Kuki- Maa, wo dekho…..Snow! Mujhe khelna hai.
Juhi(smiles)- Pehle snowfall toh band hone do. Phir hum bahar jayenge.
Kuki(smiles)- Promise?
Juhi(smiles and cups her face)- Promise….acha abhi chalo, Lunch time hua. Hum restaurant mein jaa ke lunch karenge.
Kuki(chuckles)- Okay…
She nudges Kavin who was playing his video game….
"Kv, lets go jaldiii!"
She snatched the video game from his hand and pulled him outside.
.
A while later, they were outside in the hotel garden and Kuki and Kavin were playing with the snow. She was gathering the snow in her hand, when he hit her with a snow ball. She made an annoying face and turned to him, he giggled….She shouted…
"Kavinn! Ye kya tareeka hai…..aisa koi maarta hai"
He laughed..
"Hehe…isi mein toh maza hai Pari!"
Their game of throwing snow balls started and both were enjoying it.
.
Something hurt her and she came out of her trance….
.
.
*Flashback Ends*
She looked around and found her friend beside her , who threw the snow ball on her. She smiled at her friend while she said…
"Com'mon Kooki, its cool outside. Snowfall has stopped. Let's go!"
She smiled ….
"Nope Jane, you go! I'm not feeling like to go."
Jane insisted but she softly denied. Janesighed and went away. Meanwhile, her father came in. She was again looking outside when he kept his hand on her head. She looked up at him while He smiled….
"Kuki beta,chalo, india jaane ki taiyari karo. "
She looked at him in surprise. He nodded his head….
"Haan Beta! Sach keh raha hoon. Ab tujhe tere ghar toh bhejna hi hain. Aur phir main meri beti ko khush dekhna chahta hoon aur yeh bhi samajh gaya hoon ki teri khushi Kavin se hain, us ghar se hain."
It was unbelievable for Kuki, happy tears brimming her eyes, She hugged her Dad and whispered thank you. He smiled, smeared her head and told her that they were leaving for India a day after.
.
She was happy. She took out Kavin's photo from her handbag, caressed it and kissed on it…
"Main aa rahi hoon Kavin…..tumhare paas. Ab hum phir se saath honge. Mujhe pata hai tum mujhe dekh kar bahut khush hoge. I love you kavin."
She smiled and started packing her bags.
.
.
Mumbai…
It was a night before Kuki's birthday. Kavin was quite happy. He had arranged for all of her favorite things, the things he wanted to gift her. He had decorated her room beautifully with balloons and ribbons. He was in her room, examining each and everything, that's when his father keeps his hand on his shoulder….
Sumit- Kya ho raha hai Barkhurdar?
Kavin(Smiles)- Kuch nahi dad, bas sab kuch check kar raha tha.
Sumit(looking around)- Waise kamra kaafi ache se sajaya hai tumne! Mujhe nahi pata tha, tu aisa bhi kuch kar sakta hai.
Kavin(Smiles)- Kya dad, kabhi kabhi kar leta hoon.
Sumit(teasingly)- haan haan, pyaar insaan se bahut kuch karva deta hain.
Kavin(shyly smiles)- aap bhi na dad…kuch bhi bolte ho.
Sumit laughs and ruffles his hair. Meanwhile, the doorbell rang and they moved downstairs. Juhi, who was in the living room, opened the door and was surprised to see the guests….All she could utter was…
"pari!"
It was Kuki and her father. Kuki hugged her as tight as it was possible for her. Juhi smeared her head While kuki was still in her embrace…
"Maa, I missed you so much."
Juhi parted the hug and and cupped her face….
"Humne bhi tujhe bahut miss kiya. Kaisi hain tu?"
She looked at her and Sumit, who was by now there in the hall….
"Ab aap logon ke paas hoon na, toh ekdum thik hoon. "
Sumit smiled and patted on her head. She looked around and then looked at juhi…
"Maa, Kavin kahan hai? wo ab bhi mujhse naraz hain na?(she paused and looked around) Maine usey bahut hurt kiya hain na…..mujhe pata hai wo is waqt kahan hoga."
And she moved away from there towards the temple. Her father , who watched her going, now looked at Sumit….
"Itne saalon mein main yeh bhool gaya thaSumit ki meri beti ki khushi is ghar se hai. Usne mujhe yeh ehsaas dilaya ki jo kaam mujhe karne chahiye they, wo toh tumne kar diye. Tumse tumhari amanat le gaya tha na….bas wahi lautane aaya hoon."
Sumit looked at his friend….
"Yeh tum kaisi baatein kar rahe ho Sameer. Pari tumhari beti hai aur rahegi."
Sameer interrupted ….
"18 saalon mein meri beti meri nahi rahi Sumit. Main paise kamaane ki dhun mein itna andhaa ho gaya tha ki bhul gaya ki apni zimmedari kisi aur ko saunp aaya hoon. Pichle 2 saalon mein maine paaya ki main kitna kuch kho chukka hoon. Wo tumhari beti toh pehle se hi thi , ab usey apni bahu bhi bana lo."
Sumit and Juhi were surprised while sameer nodded positively to make them believe what he said was true. Juhi smiled….
"Aapne toh mere dil ki baat keh di Bhaisahab. Main mithayi leke aati hoon."
And she went inside while the two friends hugged eachother.
.
Inside the temple….
He was standing with his face towards the mandir. She entered in and called his name. he didn't respond. She then moved forward and kept her hand on his shoulder….
"Kavin!"
He, now turned and looked at her. She was just the same as she was when she left him. Today, her eyes were teary. She looked at him, kept her hands on his shoulders, her head down, because she knew she had hurt him.
"I'm sorry Kavin. Tum abhi tak mujhse naraz ho na? ( she looked at him, trying to look into his eyes.) Main jaana nahi chahti thi Kavin, but kya karun, dad ko mana nahi kar sakti thi. Par…par I missed you….aur mujhe pata chala ki what you mean to me…par main tumhara gussa bardasht nahi kar sakti kavin."
He looked at her, he could see immense care in her eyes. He , too , had realized what she was for him. He didn't say anything , but pulled her in his warm embrace. She placed her head on his shoulder. He smeared her head….
"Main tumse naraz nahi hu Kuki. Infact, I am happy ki is doori ne mujhe yeh realize karvaya ki tum mere liye kitna maayne rakhti ho. I love you Kuki!"
She parted the hug as she heard his words. She was surprised…even she wanted to hear those magical words from him. A smiled through tears ….
"I love you too Kavin!"
She hugged him again unaware of the three people watching them. She parted the hug and he held her hands….
" Ab tumhe mujhse ek waada karna hoga."
"kaisa wada?" she looked at him.
"Yahi ki ab tum mujhe aur is ghar ko chhod ke kahin nahi jaogi." He looked in her eyes..
She smiled…."I promise….main kahin nahi jaungi."
.
"Aur hum jaane bhi nahi denge. Ab Pari yahin rahegi,is ghar mein….As Mrs Kuki Malhotra."
Both of them looked at this voice,and found Juhi standing there. They looked at her in surprise. She nodded positively while Kavin hugged her. Sumit and Sameer, too came there….Sumit looked at them….
"Tum dono ab hamesha saath rahoge. Jo sapne dekhe hain , unhe pura karo aur hamesha khush raho."
He hugged both of them, while Juhi looked at Kavin…
"Chalo Kavin, kuki ko uska kamra dikhao, tumne itni mehnat jo ki hai, aur phir kuki ka birthday start hone mein kuch minute hi baaki hai."
He smiled and blindfolded her and took her to her room.
"Kavin, yeh sab kya hai? Ye blindfold hatao na!" She said gripping his hand.
"Ohho Pari! Shant ho jao na! You'll be surprised!" He said as he opened the door.
.
He removed the blindfold and switched on the lights. She was surprised to see the decorated room. She looked at all the things and then kavin…
"tumhe sab kuch yaad hai ki mujhe kya pasand hai aur kya nahi!"
HE smiled …"Ofcourse, tum meri best friend ho aur ab hone wali patni bhi. Tumse pyar karta hoon, itna toh pata hoga hi."
She smiled….."Kavin, you're the best! Thank you so much!"
She hugged him while Juhi brought her favorite fruit cake and she cut the cake. Everyone seemed happy. Juhi then asked both Kuki and Kavin to sleep as she had another surprise for them for the next day.
.
.
Next Day…
SUmit had thrown a party for Kuki's birthday and also for Kuki and Kavin's engagement. Kuki and Kavin seemed happy. The day passed in a blur.
.
Evening….
Kuki was dressed in a beautiful black colored velvet evening gown with matching accessories. Her hairs were tied in a bun and she looked like a princess. This dress was gifted to her by Kavin. Juhi took her to the hall where her friends were. She looked around for Kavin…but didn't find him…She moved towards the temple when the lights were switched off. She stopped on the tracks and turned on a voice…
The shimmering lights were on Kavin, who was waering a black Velvet Sherwani. He looked handsome in black…she smiled as their eyes met…he moved towards her…
Dekha hazaron dafa aapko
Phir beqarari kaisi hai
Sambhale sambhalta nahi ye dil
Kuch aap mein baat aisi hai
He held her hands and kissed on her palms. She smiles as she kept her hand on his shoulder…
Lekar ijazat ab aap se
Saansein ye aati jaati hain
Dhoondhe se milte nahi hain hum
Bas aap hi aap baaki hain
he asked her for a dance to which she agreed. She kept hr one hand on his shoulder while he held her from her waist…
Pal bhar na doori sahein aap se
Betaabiyan yeh kuch aur hain
He pulled her closer and kissed on her forehead..
Hum door hoke bhi paas hain
Nazdeekiyan yeh kuch aur hain
He smiled at her…
Dekha hazaro dafaa aapko
Phir beqarari kaisi hai
He twirled her around…
Sambhale sambhalta nahi ye dil
Kuch pyar mein baat aisi hai
As he pulled her closer, she locked her hands in his neck…
Aagosh mein hai jo aapki
Aisa sukoon aur paaye kahan
He looked deep into her eyes…
Aankhen humein ye raas aa gayi
Ab hum yahan se jaaye kahan
Dekha hazaron dafa aapko
Phir beqarari kaisi hai
She moved apart from him, while he pulled her closer.
Sambhale sambhalta nahi ye dil
Kuch pyar mein baat aisi hai
mmm.. hmm..
Phir beqarari kaisi hai
mmm.. hmm..
Kuch pyar mein baat aisi hai
He pulled her closer and held her left hand and slipped a ring in her finger. She smiled as she saw the ring encrypted with a K on it. She looked at him while he kissed on her forehead and she gripped his hand tightly.
They made a silent promise to each other, to make life more beautiful, to love a little more everyday and to be happy.
