Epilogue

"Acha?"
(Really?)

"Ji haan, hume iska saara khana usko dena pada iske player behaviour ke wajah se." She shook her head.
(Yes, I had to give all his food to her for his player behaviour.)

"Really Mau? Is your Ammi saying the truth?" He asked, stopping caressing his fur.

Mau jumped away from him, going to his bed.

"Dekha aapne? Nikammi aulaad." She shook her head, "I think we should plan a baby! You're getting old, what if you can't make babies later-"
(Did you see that? Useless child.)

"Shut up."

"Zavi jaan.."

"You're too young to have a baby, no." He shook his head.

"Excuse me? I'm 25 now! And let me tell you, 25 is not a young age to have kids!" She pointed a finger at him that he held and pulled her closer.

"You're 25? I didn't know that." He said dramatically.

"I'm serious."

"And I'm Zaviyar, nice to meet you!"

Frowning, she touched his forehead with the back of his hand, "Tabiyat to theek hai, phir ye befazool baatein kyun kar rahe hain?" She asked.
(You seem fine, then why are you talking nonsense?)

"Sit down, we've had this talk multiple times, we'll have a baby when it's the right time-"

"Fine." She sat down, folding her arms grumpily, "no babies?"

"No babies."

"No talk about babies too?"

"No talk about babies too." He nodded.

"And no fighting either."

"Yes."

"And no kisses?"

"No kiss- Ariha."

"I win!" She got up, doing a victory dance.

"Ari, get back here!" He got up, trying to pull her back to the bed but she ran away.

She laughed, "You're getting old, you can't catch me!"

She was running without looking around when she slipped on Mau's stuffed toy, since Zaviyar was close behind her, he held her before she could fall.

Taking a deep breath, "Oooof."

"Bewakoof." He shook his head, making her stand properly.

"You love this bewakoof." She poked his nose, turning around to wrap her hands around his neck.

"I do." He smiled.

"I love my old man too." She giggled.

He scrunched his nose, "Annoying idiot."

"You're annoying." Her tongue darted out to tease him, "You're lucky that I love you, ladke marte hain humpar." She flipped her hair, walking away.
(Guys die for me.)

"Acha? Mai na maar doon unko." He walked behind her.
(Really? I will kill them)

"Aap phir apna gundo wala profession lekar kar shuru hogaye." She clicked her tongue, shaking her head.
(You again started with your goon profession.)

"Excuse me? I killed the bad guys, I wasn't the bad guy." He frowned, "You're the gundi here." He huffed.
(goon)

"How dare you?" She turned to him.

"Sorry." He raised his hands up in surrender.

She was standing on the terrace, stargazing when he wrapped his arms around her waist from behind.

Letting out a breath, she leaned backwards, resting her head on his chest, "Night is so beautiful."

"Not more than you." He whispered, kissing the side of her head.

"But it is, night is more beautiful than anything else, it's perfect, we can only see the bright stars and the moon, no imperfections, just beauty." She sighed.

"Beauty doesn't lie in perfection, night has flaws too." He replied.

"What are you implying then? I'm not beautiful or am I not perfect?" She asked.

"You're the most beautiful person I've ever met and you're perfect, but you've some flaws too. I have them too, everyone does but that doesn't make them any less beautiful, I'm just saying that every beautiful thing has imperfections too." He told her.

"I love you." She looked at him, "It's so funny isn't it? One minute you don't know what that means and then you meet this person and boom, suddenly you start understanding what these three words mean." She turned to him, not looking at the sky anymore.

"You're my definition of love Ariha." He said, bringing her hand up to kiss the back of it.

"Don't look at me like that, hume sharam aa jaati hai." She hid her face in his chest.
(I feel shy)

"I waited years for you Ariha, years. There were times when I was sure that I can never have you beside me, as my person but here you are and words aren't enough to describe the way I feel every time you look at me with that look full of nothing but love," He let out a breath, "I would love to have our kids someday, but now? I just want to have some more time with you, just you."

"I understand, It's okay, I never wanted to pressurize you. It's just..whenever I played with Rayaan or met Aidah appi, I wanted to have that feeling too." She sighed.

"One day Ari, one day."

"But not too long okay? I don't want my babies to have so old Abbu."

"Ariha."

"Zavi Jaan..."
