AUTHOR'S POV -

"Happy Anniversary" MSD unlike most husbands who forget their anniversaries remembered and wished his wife at 12 in the night.

"What?" Sakshi sleepily asked.

"Happy anniversary" he wished again.

"Is it 3rd July already?" Sakshi asked confused.

"Usually husbands are killed for forgetting anniversaries and here my wife doesnt remember hers. Judge goonah kare toh kaun judgement dega?" MSD asked.

"Mahi its anniversary not birthday that you have to wish at exact 12." she said sleepily since MSD woke her up from her deep slumber.

"I left my PUBG and came to wish you and you are sleeping." MSD complained.

"Acha sorry baba, happy anniversary." Sakshi said and hugged MSD.

"So what have you planned?" Sakshi asked.

"You wanted me to plan something being stuck at home also?" MSD asked.

"Are we the only couple celebrating their anniversary in lockdown and even tht is opened now." Sakshi said.

"Will you spend the rest of your life with me Sakshi?" MSD asked getting on his knees as Sakshi sat on her bed.

"Your world is very different and big Mahi" Sakshi said.

"My world is as big as my cricket kitbag which you have been carrying since the past 10 years." MSD said.

"Are you sure you want to be stuck up with me for another decade?' Sakshi asked.

"As sure as making a great come back." MSD said.

"I hate you Mahi." Sakshi said and hit him.

"Why?" MSD asked confused since he thought the atmosphere was getting romantic.

"You want to spend only a decade more with me." Sakshi said and MSD face palmed .

"I am sure of a decade as much as I am sure of a great comeback. I am sure of a life time as sure as I am of making a comeback with a century. and I am as sure of the next infinite life times as I am of my never ending love for cricket." MSD said.

"Aww I love you." Sakshi said with her heart melting away.

"I love you to and I want you me be the Sakshi to my Mahi forever." MSD said romantically, the side of him which is obviously unseen by all.

"I will be, I am not leaving you so easily." Sakshi said.

"I thought that this butter will help in that" MSD said playfully.

"Never happening, you arent leaving neither am I." Sakshi said.

"My wifey is soo pretty that I dont need to leave" MSD said.

"You tell that to me at 12 in the night when I wake up in my night dress with my hair and face messed up and not when I am dressed up." Sakshi said.

"I am an admirer of natural beauty." MSD smartly used the magic of his words.

"Oh this word magic aint working on me." Sakshi said.

"It did and thats what brings you here." MSD said.

"Acha ji?" Sakshi asked.

"Haan ji." MSD said and hugged her.

"Mumma papa, my room has bhoot I am not sleeping there." Ziva said coming to their room dragging her blanket and the teddies and dolls she sleeps with and MSD and Sakshi seperated and Sakshi laughed as MSD frowned.

"Come here baby." Sakshi said and Ziva came in between them.

"Why are you two still awake, bad boy papa, you made me sleep early and you are not sleeping.' Ziva said.

"Very bad Mahi." Sakshi said teasing him.

"Ya I am only bad." MSD said.

"Mo my papa is very good." Ziva said and kissed MSD's cheek.

"And my Zivu is very good so she will sleep" MSD said and Sakshi giggled.

"Yes I will sleep here only between you two." Ziva said and settled between the 2 of them and slept with her dolls and teddies.

"Now decide are you sure?" Sakshi playfully asked.

"As sure as I could ever be about hitting a six on a last ball." MSD said and slept taking both Sakshi ans Ziva in his protective embrace.

The perfect family, wait, are you sure its complete?

"Mahi your phone." Sakshi said sleepily.

"What?" MSD asked in sleep.

"Hello, mumma and papa are sleeping and sleep talking and you just disturbed Ziva's sleep." Ziva said picking the phone up without seeing who it was.

"I told you Mahi bhai will be sleeping, Zivu they disturbed your Ro chachu's sleep also." Rohit nagged.

"Ro chachu, Cheeku chachu is born for disturbing your sleep." Ziva said and giggled.

"My Ziva is getting smart." Virat said.

"Exactly why she knows and understands the troubles her Ro chachu is facing and knows the sole reason for your existence."Rohit said.

"Shut up you two, and Ziva what is Mahi bhai doing?" Jinks asked.

"Sleeping, I woke up first because I am a good girl, papa is becoming a bad boy now days." Ziva said.

"Who are you talking to?" MSD asked.

"Until now Ro chachu, Cheecku chachu and Jinks chachu, there are more I think." Ziva said.

"Put on speaker." MSD said.

"Let me hear what those idiots want." MSD said.

"They are not idiots." Sakshi said getting up as well.

"Happy anniversary Mahi bhai and Sakshi bhabhi." they all screamed.

"My ears existed ones upon a time." MSD said.

"Shut up and thank you soo much." Sakshi said and they switched their video on since every one had theirs on.

"They were actually sleeping." Hardik said.

"What else would they be doing at 8 in the morning?" Bhuvi asked.

"That too when at home why would anyone want to wake up?" Rohit asked dozing off on Ritika's shoulder and being brought into senses by Ritika taking her shoulder off.

"Babhi did bhai remember the anniversary?" Anushka asked.

"Or we reminded him?" Nupur added.

"Good question." MSD said looking at Sakshi.

"Tell me he didnt" Rohit said.

"So next time he can use the excuse that if Mahibhai can forget his anniversary then who am I to remember?" Shikhar said.

"He remembered." Sakshi said.

"Hawwwww." all gasped.

"And she forgot." MSD added without missing.

"Whattttt?" all asked even more shocked.

"Arre at 12 he came to wish me kaha se tubelight hoti ki aaj 4th July hain." Sakshi said in her defense.

"Bhabhi you realize that its a dream for most wives that husbands remember their anniversary." Anushka said and Virat frowned.

"With Ro there, its a dream that even his reminders wont fulfill" Ritika said.

"Why are you all saying like that?" Rohit asked.

"How was the nap my lord?" Jaddu asked.

"I am not sleeping always." Rohit said.

"He is just in deep thoughts with his eyes closed." Jinks said.

"You all always call me forgetful and sleepy even Vi forgets his anniversary, Anushka just said." Rohit said.

"With my Sharma bro on this." Anushka said.

"This year I will wish you happy anniversary at 12 in the night." Virat said.

"Copy cat." MSD said.

"Even I will, I will wish you without reminders and that too before you." Rohit said to Ritika.

"I like the strong willed promises." Ash said.

"And I can imagine the thapads." Shikhar said.

"That they will get for not wishing again." Ritika and Anushka completed.

"Dont scare my devars, they will remember." Sakshi said.

"Bhabhi what gift did Mahi bhai give?" Jassi asked.

"Nothing at all." Sakshi said.

"Very bad."Hardik said.

"Tujhe bahut experience hain." Rahul said.

"Gifts mein yes." Hardik said.

"What gift am I getting then?" MSD asked.

"We have planned a gift for you." Kuldeep said excitedly.

"Really? What?" Sakshi asked.

"We have planned a world tour for you both." they all screamed.

"In this corona, you think I will travel?" MSD asked.

"Why no world tour for me?" Ziva asked.

"Ziva we planned it together." Jassi reminded and Virat asked her to be quiet and reminded her something in their gibberish language.

"Oh yaaa." Ziva said.

"Whats happening?" Sakshi asked.

'So we are giving you a word tour." Virat said.

"How exactly?" Sakshi asked.

"See we have marked your house." Yuzi said.

"What have you done to my house?" Sakshi asked.

"He means in that in your house we have marked places." Kuldeep said.

"I dont get a word." MSD said.

"See your bedroom is marked Paris because you have a lot of branded clothes and watches and what not there basically Paris is for fashion so ya." Virat said.

"And your bathroom is bangkok, because spa and ya." Hardik said.

"Your kitchen is India only because you like Indian cuisine." Rohit said.

"And your terrace is Switzerland it has amazing view." Jinks said.

"And dining room is Melbourne simply because my house is there." Shikhar said.

"In bhai's dining room?" Jassi asked.

"No in Melbourne and hi dining room is my favorite part in his house." Shikhar said

"Side effect of opening with Ro bhai." Rahul said.

"Bhai kiss angle se hua ?" Virat asked.

"Moving on" Jinks said to avoid another ROHIRAT drama.

"Ziva's room is London, its her choice." Jassi said.

"The garden is amazon forest, it has a lot of plants." Kuldeep said.

"The pond area is Maldives, its Rohitaa's favorite." Yuzi said.

"Are we done?" MSD asked.

"No there is New York which is your living room." Rahul added.

"And Los Angles, New Jersey and Brazil and a lot of places are there." Ash said.

"All of you seriously? What an expensive world tour." MSD said.

"It costed only a doll house, chocolates, dresses and thats it I guess." Virat said.

"Add the markers and pens and papers for marking." Rohit said.

"But Zivu used the ones Sakshi bhabhi got for her, so not counted." Jassi said.

"So Ziva did the marking and may I know when?" MSD asked.

"Secret" Ziva said and MSD started tickling her.

"Stop ha ha papa stop ha I will ha tell." Ziva said.

"Not fair bhai you cant tickle her to know." Hardik said.

"Chachu help me." Ziva said as the tickling continued.

"I did it yesterday night before coming to your room to sleep." Ziva said.

"Because of all the bribes we gave her." Hardik said proudly.

"Sharam karo chotti si bachi ko rishwat, very bad." Sakshi said.

"You enjoy the world tour bhabhi" Rishabh said.

"We were just gifting Ziva." Shreyas said.

"Anniversary humari aur gift Ziva ko?" Sakshi asked.

"No arguments." Virat said.

"Go to Bangkok Mahi bhai and get a clean shave." Hardik said.

"What?" MSD asked.

"He means go to the wash room and shave the beard. That would be my gift." Sakshi said.

"Why?" MSD asked.

"Because your greys dont look as good as mine" Virat said.

"You should have a beard like me, no greys." Rohit said proudly.

"That makes you look like a bear." Jaddu added.

"Be like me, no beard." Shikhar said.

"And no hair." Shreyas added.

"Okay chalo go to Bangkok." Virat said.

"And once you get ready take a selfie in the living room and post it as #AnniversaryinNYC and in the room also #WedinParis and write courtesy #WorldTourTeamIndia" they all said in bits and parts.

"Seriously?" MSD said not sure about how dumb it sounds.

"Yes now go." they said and hung up.

MSD took a bath and opened the wardrobe and saw a brand new Versace sit in their and it was on top it was written -

He laughed at this and wore it.

Sakshi also went to get ready and saw a beatiful dress with a note

She laughed and wore the dress.

The came out and saw each other, "You look amazing." they both said together and laughed.

"Those idiots." MSD said.

"Their smart wives." Sakshi said.

"Come." he said.

"Lets go to NYC." Sakshi laughed.

They went out and saw Ziva ready in brand new clothes.

"Your bribe?" Sakshi asked.

"My gift." she said.

They went out in the living room and found a cake.

"So this is the gift" MSD said.

"No there is more." Ziva blurted out.

"What?" Sakshi asked.

"There is more behind." Ziva said.

"After eating cake or before?" MSD asked.

"You think they would have wasted their time thinking that?" Sakshi asked.

"Actually go after." Ziva said.

"Why?" MSD asked.

"I am not allowed to say." Ziva said realizing she told too much already.

"I am your papa." MSD said.

"But Cheeku chachu said no" she said and they knew it was no use to ask more.

They cut the cake and fed it to each other.

"Papa photo." Ziva reminded.

"Pura jasoos bana ke bheja hain." Sakshi said.

The took a picture in the hall and then Ziva dragged them to the terrace.

This note was stuck on the door with sweaters and caps for all three.

MSD and Sakshi gave each other a What is happening look and then looked at Ziva who was busy closing the zip of her jacket and sighed and wore their jackets.

They went out and were shocked.

There were a few snow machines blowing snow and snow mans and fake pine trees and the background was already having mountains, it did look like a snowy place. MSD and Sakshi were even more surprised when they saw a screen where the whole team was on video call.

"Woah.." they exclaimed.

"How is Switzerland bhai?" Virat asked.

"Who did all this?" MSD asked.

"We sent it all and your Ziva did it." Rohit said.

"We know that bhabhi loves snow and so do you like playing with it ." Rishabh said.

"I supervised it." Ziva said and flaunted herself.

"My daughter is as smart as me." MSD said and lifted her up.

"Ahm ahm" Sakshi fake coughed.

"You are making a mistake bhai." Shikhar said.

"What mistake Mahi bhai is smart." Hardik said.

"Am I not?" Sakshi asked.

"You are." Hardik said.

"Harry you are married now too take some classes." Jinks said.

"Lets take a family picture and I will post it as #HoneymooninSwitzerland." Rahul said.

"Who goes to Switzerland on Honeymoon with the whole family?" Shreyas asked.

"Someone used brains." Ash said.

"It could be second honeymoon." Jassi suggested.

"Any honeymoon with the whole team is not a great idea." Anushka added.

"Next time we will all babysit Ziva and you two can go." Ritika said.

"Yes some private time." MSD said.

"Ahm ahm what time?" all asked.

"Time with you all." MSD covered up.

"So you will go on honeymoon with us?" Kuldeep asked and all laughed.

"You guys." MSD said and all laughed.

"Lets take a family picture and title it #SECONDHONEYMOONWITHFAM" Ash said.

"Not you Ash." MSD said.

"On a serious note you two are couple goals." Virat said.

"And cute" Rohit added.

"And perfect you both are so compatible." Jinks said.

"And you two dont even fight like at all." Hardik added.

"You both are an inspiration to all the couples in the world." Bhuvi said.

"I am flabbergasted." MSD said.

"Who kya hain?" Hardik asked.

"I will tell you later shut up for now." Natasa said.

"We do fight." Sakshi said.

"And we are not perfect." MSD said.

"But no one is, and we complete each others imperfectness." Sakshi said.

"Because we know that this bond needs efforts from both the sides but more than that its understanding each other and supporting which clearly Sakshi does more, we have come all the way because of her." MSD said.

"Even you do support me cutie, and I love annoying you and I love how you bear me annoying you." Sakshi said.

"You are my cutie." Sakshi said and MSD scrunched his nose up.

"Awwwww" all said.

Meanwhile Jinks took a screen shot where all were there.

"Thank you all we didnt know we will get such a lavish world tour." Sakshi said.

"Yes I didnt know you guys could make sense when you said world tour, it still doesnt but this arrangement is fab." MSD said.

"We love you two." they said.

This is the complete family, completing the perfect day.
