Four Years Later
Basu Baady
"Daadaa, jaldi se khana lagwa do" Nivedita said loudly while coming downstairs, adjusting her saree
"Nivi, chilla kyu rahi ho tum, munna jag jaayega... bahut mushkil se sula diya tha" Mohini complained, while craddling her grandson
"Arrey Maa, aap usko kithni derr tak ese pakadte rahenge, mujhe dedo, main usko kamre mein leke jaati hu" Nivedita came forward to take her two-year-old son.
"Nahi nahi, tumhe pata hai na, munna godi mein sona pasand karta hai...aur agar isse bed pe leta diya na toh neend se ud kar rona shuru kar dega"
At the same time, Prerna came to the dining area with breakfast dishes along with the servant and heard their conversation.
"Aap dono uske chinta mat karo, yeh bua hai na yaha...{She said while walking towards them, and then carefully took the baby from Mohini's hand}, aap log jaa ke khana khaa lijiye, tab tak main isse dekhlungi"
"Yeh lo, aap dono, Naani-Bua milkar mere bete ko bigaad rahe ho" Nivedita smilingly complained,
"Prerna, tumne juice piya ki nahi?! maine subah hi bana ke kitchen main rakh hi thi" Mohini asked with motherly concern, but at the same time, Anupam came downstairs and joined them by loudly calling his baby, "Mera Spiderman" But Nivedita placed her palm on Anupam's mouth, while the other two glared at him for making sound.
"Hey... Good morning" Moloy and Anurag came in after a business tour, and their trolly bags are carried by the servants.
Prerna looked at Anurag with her happy eyes, it's been a month..... Anurag also reciprocated that look, and then he hugged Mohini and then gave a side hug to Anupam and Nivi. Then he side hugged Prerna, pretending like he is playing with Munna.
Mohini took Moloy's hand bag and then they both left to their room.
"So, main bhi office ke liye nikalta hu... Nivi meri breakfast pack karlo na, meeting hai" Anupam also left to his room to get ready, before tapping Anurag's shoulder.
"Hmm...Anuu zyaada drama mat karo, aur apni beevi ko tum le jaa sakte ho....{Nivedita teased Anurag, and then turned to Prerna}, Munna ko mujhe dedo Prerna... aur tum apni pati ki dekhbaal karo" She picked her son from Prerna's lap and then whispered something on her ear, and Nivedita left giggling leaving a shy Prerna and confused Anurag.

Anurag-Prerna Room
Prerna entered along with Anurag, and immediately he hugged her from behind, "Anurag!"
But then Prerna turned to face him, still inside his hold, "Arrey patidev, romance baad mein, pehle fresh ho jaao na" Prerna helped him to loosened his tie.
"Ok fine" Anurag said in a fake anger, and then he turned to go towards the washroom, but Prerna held his hand and looked at him with a cute face, "Gussa ho?!... but I promise aaj raath sirf hum dono... okay?"
Anurag smiled and then again turned towards her, "Pakka?!"
She nodded with her sweet smile and then he hugged her sideways, "I missed you"

Night
Everyone sitting around the dining table for dinner.
"Mohini, tujhe pata hai, Singapore airport pe hum pahunchthe hi kisko dekha?"
"Kisko?"
"Humare Manik ko"
"Kya?! Phir aap log usse vahi chod aaye?! kitne mahine ho gaye mere bache ko dekhe huye... par kal jab usne call ki tab bhi nahi bataya ki aap logon se milne ke baare mein"
"Arre arre... usne hume nahi dekha, hum usse dekha"
"Huh?!"
"Baabaa... aap Maa ko pareshaan kyun kar rahe ho?! Maa, Fab 5 new album launch kar raha hai na, so airport pe ek bada sa hoarding hai, Fab 5 ki new album... ussi ke baare mein baat kar raha tha Baabaa"
"Moloy?!!!!!!" Mohini glared at him
"Kya Anu?!, saare mazaa flop kar diya........ arrey haa Nandu ne phone kiya kya?! voh kaisi hai?"
"Haa, Nandu toh har din call karti hai, voh bhi video call... agar ek din usne nahi kiya toh Maa ya Prerna usse call karte hai" Nivedita said
"Hmm theek hai voh, ab toh voh Mangalore mein hai na toh mujhe thoda tassalli hai... Anyway maine function ki saari tayyaariya kar ke rakhi hai, bas Amma se aur Shannoji se discuss kar ke ek date fix karwaana hai, Manik bhi next month aa jaayega, so.."
"Jo meri biwi ko theek lage, voh karo" Moloy bowed his head infront of Mohini
Mohini signalled Nivedita with her eyes to ask something to Prerna. Then, Niveditha nudged Prerna, who is sitting next to her, and gestured something with her eyes. Prerna nodded in negative and then whispered, "dinner ke baad"
"Ohhh Surprise plan ki hai kya?!" Nivedita asked
.........................................
Terrace
Anurag entered the terrace area, "Prerna... ithna andhera kyun hai? Kaha ho tum?"
Lights ON
Anurag's eyes got widened by seeing his beautiful wife standing infront of him with the background of a beautiful decor.
"Prerna"
"Shhh" Prerna pressed her finger over his lips and then signalled him to sit.
Anurag made her sit first.
They both sat opposite to each other, and then Prerna picked up the wine glass and tossed it with him, cling!
"So, kaisa laga?!"
"Beautiful"
"Kya beautiful? main? ya yeh decor?"
"No comparison.... You"
Prerna smiled and then sipped her wine
"Vaiseee... isse pehle bhi maine business trip pe gaya hai...par ese surprise party nahi mila tha!!! Aaj kyun?!"
Prerna widened her eyes, but immediately covered up, "Nahi... ese hi... mann kiya" She said while looking here and there shyly.
"Kuch toh baat hai... batao?" Anurag said this while walking towards her from his seat. She looked at him, but then looked down to her lap with a sweet smile.
Anurag saw this, and then pulled her chair, startling her, to face him, and then kneeled down near her and held her entwined hands.
"Bolo... kya baat hai?! Aaj meri biwi kuch zyaada hi sharma rahi hai... ek naya glow hai uski chehre pe... so jaldi se bolo baat kya hai?!"
Prerna took out her hands from his hold and then cupped his face. He closed his eyes when her lips pressed on his forehead,
"I Love You Anurag for giving me the most precious gift" He looked at her confused. Prerna took his hands and then placed it on her tummy, "For this"
