Sorry to keep you wait this long but I am very busy with many stuff going in college.

And yes Thank you for loving this story so much 🥺♥️

Here goes the last part.

A random day in their kitchen,

Anubhav- Jawab manga hai humne Haseena ji ( he speaks like a strict teacher)

Haseena- hey Durga Maa, humare toh bhaag hi phoot gaye aisa pati paake (she puts heeng into ghee. He coughs) peeche ho jaiye...

Anubhav- bhaag...bhaag pe aaiye

Haseena- (murmurs like her habit) pati patni akele ho toh prem ki bate karte hai or ye...khadus teacher😤 bas daat te hai...or jab khud mood me ho toh gaal chum lete hai sahi jawab pe...huh 😏

He kept his ears close to her to hear all her mumbles and complaints. She gasped as his lips touched her ears when she turned. He held her shoulders protecting her from getting hurt from the hot kadhai.

Anubhav- sambhal ke kaam kijye...or yaha apne pallu kyu rakha hai? Jaane dijye...

Haseena- adat hai na Anubhav ji.

Anubhav- yu rehne ki bhi pad jayegi (he slowly wraps his hands over her belly, resting his chin over her shoulder)

Haseena- Shukriya ji (she places her hands over his) ye sab aapne jo humare liye kiya...vaada karte hai aapko niraash nahi hone denge (few drops of tears fall from their eyes to their molded hands)

2 days later.

Haseena- jaldi kijye na Anubhav ji...humme late ho raha hai (she says to her husband who is still dressing up for office)

Anubhav - shaanti...shaanti Devi ji. Pehle aapko hi chodenge hum. Waise zara geet ke do bol toh suna jaaiye jo aap record karengi!

Haseena - aaj recording nahi hai Anubhav ji. Director sahab ne khuch baat karne bulaya hai...

Anubhav- koi chinta karne wali baat toh nahi hai na?

Haseena- umhmm...waise bade ache lag rahe hai

Haseena shyly walks to him and starts to fiddle with his locket. He chuckles and softly pecks her temple caressing her hairs.

Anubhav- roz ke hi toh vastr pehne hai...or vaise ab aapko deri nahi ho rahi?

Haseena- dhat...hum tareef kar rahe hai aap kaam ki baat kar rahe hai...or aapko humari tareef karni chahiye thi...humne aapki di hui saree pehni hai. Itna sa bhi dhyan nahi Diya aapne (frowns)

He gazed her figure, taking his own sweet time. How beautiful she looked in that purple saree. The sweet effort she took to get herself ready but he didn't recognise being busy. Also he hid the fact that he didn't feel good in terms of his health today.

Anubhav- haaye...kitni pyaari lag rahi hai aap. Ekdum fursat se banaya hai ishwar ne aapko...

Haseena- (feigning anger) jaaiye jaaiye. Kehne pe tareef karte hai.

She walks out taking her purse having him running behind her. A cycle rickshaw waiting for them. She raised her hand in her putting a step on the raised sitting area trusting he will hold her hand. And so he did. Entwining their hands remembering the first time he went to pick her from her music recording session.

________________

Haseena- haaye Durga Maa...is samay kaise kare Anubhav ji se Bombay jaane ki baat? Seedha mana karde director sahab ko? Nahi...Anubhav ji ne itna sab humare Sangeet ke prati lagav ke liye toh kiya (she smiles) lekin abhi bauji tak ye baat pahuchegi toh woh aur naraz ho jayenge...(she is busy in her thoughts)

Reaching her home, she finds the door already unlocked.

Haseena- Anubhav ji? Aap jaldi aa gaye?

She sees his face is little red and he looks really exhausted.

Abubhav- haa Aaj tabiyat zara theek nahi lag rahi...

Haseena checks on his forehead.

Haseena- bhukar hai aapko. Kyu gaye aap aaj daftar. Upar se humme chodne ke liye lamba rasta bhi liya. (Scolds Him)

Anubhav- Haseena ji 🥺 aise daatiye toh mat.

She takes a deep breath to control her anger. Her bubbled face looks cute to him but he does not tease her seeing his 'Mrs' in anger.

Haseena- fatafat bistar or kambal pakadiye aap. Hum aate hai khuch khane or thandi pattiyan leke.

__________

Haseena- ye lijye dawai...(after having roti- sabzi she gave him medicines. He took it and slept while she kept on placing cold strips on his forehead. After a while she too shifted on bed and dozed off holding him protectively in her arms)

2 Hours later.

Gusse ki sui ab Haseena ji se aage badke unke 'suniye ji' pe aagayi hai...

Anubhav- kab batane wali thi aap humme? Itne ache avsar ko na kaise kar sakti hai aap?

Haseena- hum aapse iss bare me baat karne hi wale the...lekin aapki tabiyat theek nahi thi toh humne phone karke mana kardiya.

Anubhav-(sighing) sirf bhukar hai humme...or do din baad aap ja sakti thi...

Haseena- lekin humme akele nahi jana.

Anubhav-🧐

Haseena- Naye sheher me hume dar lagta Anubhav ji. Or hum...hum chahate the ki hum dono saath jaaye taki waha thoda ghum bhi sake. Director sahab se baat karli thi humne thode paise kaatkar woh hum dono ke rehne-khaane or aane jane ka kharcha uthane ko taiyaar the.

Anubhav- aapko humare saath ghumna tha toh humme bata deti hum hi le chalte aapko (he said smiling)

Haseena- (she rests her head on his chest) humme sharam aati hai...kaise kahe samjh hi nahi pa rahe the...upar se bauji bhi naraz baithe...

Anubhav- toh Suniye ji...aapko humare saath Honey moon pe jana hai?

His teasing makes her blush even more.

Haseena- woh sab firangiyo ke cochle hai humme sirf aapke saath ghumna hai.

(She says and snuggles into his chest for a tight hug, leaving a content full smile on his face)

4 Months later,

The next days flew very fast, there Bombay 'Honeymoon', as Anubhav calls to tease her, her 2 Bollywood music releases, one being hit the other super-flop, her preparing for exams.

Their relationship with his Maa and Bauji improved but they continued living separately as Maa and Anubhav thought it would be for their own food, living independently and respecting each other's space, thinking and boundaries. Anubhav would meet his father everyday at business before leaving to his office. Maa would spend the entire evening with Haseena deepening their bond.

But his father did not talk to her except for special occasions. She felt hurt but left it on time.

Today was her exam day.

Abubhav- jaldi kijye Shrimati ji.

Haseena- Haa bas ek akhiri baar sab dekhle

Anubhav- subha se 12 vi bar dekh rahi hai aap apna bag.

Haseena-kya kare hum? Bahout dar lag raha hai. Hum khuch bhul gaye the toh? Agar exam mushkil hua toh?

He smiles at her than places a lingering kiss on her forehead and cheek. Haseena calmed under his touch.

She is amazed when her removes his favourite watch to her, the one he feels like a lucky charm she gifted.

Anubhav- aapke kaamyabi ke liye

"Itna mehnga tofa! Haseena?", Anubhav scolds her a little as she presents him a gold watch on his birthday from her salary.

"Humari Marzi, apne hi kaha tha humare paise hai hum jo chahe kare", she squints her eyes at him with a silly smile.

"Lekin Haseena ji"

"Kya Anubhav ji? Aap humare liye itna nahi kar sakte? Humne apne tankhwa se sab ko uphaar diye...jo log humare Jevan me mayne rakhte hai", she says with glittering eyes. When he takes time to reply she raises on her toes and kisses him softly. "Janamdin ki bahout - bahout badhayi, patidev", she said with her cheeks turning red. His hands reached her waistband until the innocence was replaced by desires.

Anubhav- Kaisa Gaya aapki pariksha? Jaldi batiye...are boliye toh kab se intezaar kar rahe hai...Haseena...

She furrows her brows at him, he is behaving like her mother who would scold her for not writing in a good manner or get a less score. It was her happy time till she was 'allowed' to study.

She would thank him for a million times but still it would be less, for he had pushed and supported her for study.

Haseena- pariksha achi gayi hai humari... thoda Pani pilejiye aap...ek saas me bolke thak toh nahi gaye?

(She sweetly taunts him at his panicking. He shook his head)

Anubhav- chaliye phir, khilate hai aapko aapko manpasand biryani...

Haseena- Rasmalai bhi (she says wrapping her hand around his)

2 months later,

The happiness Anubhav got yesterday was like no other, his wish of seeing his wife complete her study was not only fulfilled but she passed with flying colours. Her heart fluttered seeing him so proud on her.

Anubhav- Haseena ji (he calls her after returning from office with a gajra in his hand)

Hearing some disturbances from the washroom he follows there only to find her throwing up continuously. When she comes out with a worn up face he gets tensed but wipes her face to give her some relief.

Anubhav- theek hai aap ab?

"Um hmm", she shook her head and threw herself crying in his arms bitterly. Her silence to his questions panicks him with every passing second.

Even she, herself failed to understand why she crying after knowing one of the happiest news of her life. Maybe it was her mood swings or maybe the overwhelming feeling to tell it to her husband and everyone or the worn off feeling she has from her sickness.

Anubhav- Haseena khuch toh bataiye...warna hum bhi ro denge (he said almost teary eyed)

Haseena- acha lagega kya humare bache ko? Dekhiye uske Maa-Baba dono ro rahe hai (she says in flow but she had some other plans to disclose this news to him)

Abubhav- bacha kaha se aya beech me? (His brain doesn't work seeing her crying so much(

She sniffs and breaks the hug looking into his eyes. They held a thousand feelings for her but is he so innocent?

Haseena- bhudhu hai aap. Bahout hi zyada 😒

He cups her face gently and kisses her forehead.

Abubhav- kya hogaya priye? Bata dijye ab toh (he gently strokes near her chin)

Haseena- buddhu (she mouthed again) aap...aap na...(holds the end of her pallu) baba ban ne wale hai Anubhav ji. (Blushing profusely)

She blinks her eyes to wipe her tears while he is looking at her without moving by a inch or blink. The same way when she kissed him for the first time.

Haseena- statue nahi kiya hai humne...(she pokes on his chest)

Anubhav- Ami tomake bhalobashi Haseena

He says and makes her sit to hug her from her belly. She squeals feeling him on her bare stomach but soon she is shocked to see him cry in happiness.

Haseena- Anubhav ji (she slowly whispers lowering her head above him)
Ami tomake bhalobashi

Anubhav- Suniye ji.

Haseena- hum kamre me hi hai...

Anubhav- Zara sambhaliye apni gudiya ko. So hi nahi Rahi hai.

Haseena- (whispers) humne toh kaha tha din me mat sulana lekin nahi humari sunta kon hai.

Anubhav- (nearing her ears towards her like always) Sunna humne (he frowned but instantly smiled as his little daughter tap onto his face)

"Ma...Ma...", She bends herself over her mother and climbs on her lamp.

Anubhav- Maa dekhi toh Baba kon (he frowned again and Haseena showed his tongue to him)

He chuckled looking at her face and rolled out a mat on the floor where three of them sat.

A happy family

"Har Prem kahani ko uski manzil mil jaati hai, or agla geet gaika Haseena dwara hi likha gaya hai, apni Prem kahani pe...aayiye sunte hai, 'Gajra' ," the radio jockey announced and a sweet melody filled the space.

Anubhav slowly leaned on her shoulder listening to the lyrics, reliving their moments of love, seeing their symbol of love playing near his feet. She locked her gaze with his and pecked on his nose. He tangled his fingers on the gajra she worn.

Their little daughter Gauri, smiled and jumped in air as a petal of the mogra from her mother's gajra fell on her arm.

The end.
