"... Utilise my knowledge for the service of my country for the public good and to enhance the prestige of the institute in all circumstances I will strive to uphold the dignity of the individual and the integrity of the profession."

All of us stood up as the dignitaries left after the function. All the late nights and coffees have finally paid off. Rits and Dan pressed my hand from both sides.

Three of us finally came out of the auditorium. I searched the familiar blue eyes and there he stood with a proud look marring his features.

I ran and hugged him showing my certificate.

My whole family was here Ma was literally crying I hugged and consoled her. I hugged Dad, there is no better feeling for a girl than seeing the proud face of her Father. Rits's Father, Dan's Mom and Leah's parents were also there. We all took many photos.

After sometime Jay took hold of my hand , we sat down on a bench and after a lot of time Jay finally spoke.

"That day when I first met you, after the interview you were sitting here with Rits and Dan with a sad smile gazing at the sky. That was the moment when I finally knew there was no going back. The moment I became yours."

I stared at him. Is it just me or does he really become more desirable every time I look at him?

I leaned over to absorb his warmth the warmth of his soul, his love.

He side hugged me closer.

"Abhimanyu..." Both of us turned towards the voice which sounded eerily of familiar but not exactly. But the person who stood there literally took my breathe away. Both of us stood up.

There stood a man so much similar to the man who stood beside me except the blue eyes and a slightly pepper matted hair. I knew who this man was, it was really hard to not notice at least for me. If the change in Jay's posture was any proof enough to let me know he also understand it too.

Abhimanyu subtlety took hold of my hand the, hold so strong and safely covered in between my saree folds and graduation gown from the scrutinising eyes of the man who stood in front of us.

"Do I know you sir?" Abhimanyu asked in his business tone. Moments I thank his profession, masking emotions was always his forte.

"Abhimanyu I'm.." he was oh so cruelly cut off by a girl my age.

"Dad! Mom is calling you we should take some more photos. Oh! Sorry I didn't notice you guys. Hi. Wait you are Abhimanyu Shekhawat right?! I'm a big fan of yours. Can I have a picture sir?" The girl rambled on and on... She was a real chatter box.

I looked up to see the adoration and brotherly love I've seen when Abhimanyu stares at Ananya shining in the depths of the blue ocean like a pearl hidden inside the shell between the wave.

"Anuradha No! Go back to your Mom don't disturb him." The man scolded the girl.

Anuradha....

"No it's okay come let's take it An.. Anuradha." Abhimanyu spoke while crushing my hands in his hold.

"See no one can resist Anuradha Mahesh Sheonoy's charms" she said with a sass making me and Abhimanyu laugh. Abhimanyu was looking really happy.

We all stood and took the pic, Me, Abhi, Anuradha and Mr.Mahesh.

"Dad come fast okay. We are waiting. Bye." She said after taking the photo and even sending me the picture after taking my number. This girl is really fast Man!

The uncomfortable silence again engulfed us as if suffocating us.

"Do you guys want to talk?" I enquired seeing the staring competition going between the two men.

"What would possibly two strangers with nothing in common talk in private Mrs Shekhawat? You are really wierd." He spoke while directing just the last part to me.

He can fool anybody but not me I could see the pleading look in his eyes to save him from this ordeal, the message that he got the closure that he needed, now it's time to leave.

"You always think I'm weird. Anyways we should leave." I huffed plastering a smile for the gentleman.

"Oh and Mr.Mahesh a piece of advice before I forget. Who knows whether we will meet again." I said moving closer to the guy which I hated till date.

But now when I think of it I'm thankful for what he did. Because if he didn't do it I would have never met such an amazing human being in my life. My Abhimanyu, My Jay.

"Believe in the magic of second chances the value of second chances. At least this time around save Anuradha from another Mahesh." I warned and with that I pulled Abhimanyu with me towards the direction of our car.

After reaching out of that man's eye sight I finally slowed down. I'll never let anybody hurt my Jay.

"Hear me when I tell you because I'm not gonna repeat myself. You Mr.Abhimanyu Shekhawat was brought up by three amazing human beings. You have no relation with that guy because you are an amazing man.

A wonderful son, brother, lover and husband. Never forget this. Are we clear?!" I literally screamed at him that much was my anger and I knew he always had these insecurities.

"I always knew I love you for a reason." Jay whispered pulling me closer to him.

"Guys let's go! I want ice cream!" Leah called out at us.

So we started walking again hand in hand, side by side.

We both know this is not the end but a new beginning leaving behind all insecurities, the bitter past after getting all the closures. Walking towards a hopefully bright future.

There will be rainy days, storms swirling around, but when the rain leaves, when the sun comes up we know a rainbow will be waiting for us and yet again we will be together holding hands walking through it to find the end of the rainbow.

So we continue our journey.

A story that begins with an end and ends with a new beginning.

And you. yes you the one who reached the last chapter without voting for all chapters, go and vote!

You are the end of

my road.After a

lifetime of missed

ends, and another

begins with you.

It's not like there will no more tears, it's not like there will be no more fights,

it's not like Abhimanyu won't lose his cool and oh so dearly commands Arundhathi to get out of the room,

it's not like Arundhathi won't screams at Abhimanyu for not spending time with her,

it's not like Abhimanyu won't ask Arundhathi to not do something,

it's not like Abhimanyu won't shout at Arundhathi for not feeding the twins,

it's not like there will be no more silence,

it's not like they don't hate each other anymore...

But but but......

Its not like Jay and Adi would be there to wipe each other's tears,

it's not like Jay and Adi will not speak out about each arguments,

it's not like Jay will not carry back his Adi to bed from the couch once he thinks she is sleeping,

it's not like Jay won't explain to his Adi why exactly he is not getting time, it's not like Jay won't explain to Adi why he asked her to not do something,

it's not like Adi and Jay won't feed the twins together, it's not like nights wouldn't be filled with passion,

it's not like they won't still have heart to heart conversations with their eyes, it's not like their lips involuntarily quirks upwards at the mention of the others name,

it's not like they won't love each other anymore.....

Falling in love is easy....

But staying in love is tricky

but at the end of the day
