"Life is never so an easy path to walk on but having a loving partner and supporting family is not less than a blessing..

"Aranya, don't make us wait for so long! Akshat is dying out of hunger",dadi giggled seeing Akshat lost in admiring their family picture.

"Just a minute dadi! My pleats are not even.. Can you wait a bit longer?"

"How much? It's been an hour",she huffed while tapping her hands impatiently on the mahogany table.

"Ask Mrs. Juliana to help you! Her devil mind is always free to plot conspiracies so better if she is employed somewhere to keep her mind from doing something evil",she glared at Juliana who was busy in playing with her grandson vivan Arakshya Malhotra.

Her smile immediately fell on receiving the venomous taunt from her mother in law but she immediately composed herself, embracing the taunt as now she was habitual to it.

She'd realised her mistake way too late to be able to fix it so now she deserved it. Afterall karma never leaves a sinner unpunished and so happened with her.

The one she believed the most betrayed her just like she betrayed her son. Her daughter Niya whom she'd kept hidden from the whole world in Australia itself stabbed her in her back and threw her out from her apartment after getting everything under her wraps,even her left kidney. Akshat was so heartbroken after realising that she'd never loved him but loved the daughter of his boyfriend throughout her life and was only with him for money.

The extreme tension, depression, anxiety and negativity led Aranya to fly over to New York with dadi temporarily but at that time she was three months pregnant with viv in her belly.

But time is the biggest healer that cures the deepest wounds and eventually things started getting better way before her parturition between Akshat and his mother and finally he accepted her apology and pleaded Aranya to return back to india. It was sudden but eventually decided by Akshat as he wanted to be with his wife throughout the labour.

Things resolved between Aranya and juliana though not very friendly but an understood relationship but not the case with dadi. She is adamant on not accepting her apology and looks like this clash is not going to resolve any soon..

"It's done! How am I looking?",her excited tone dragged the attention of Akshat towards her mesmerizing figure that was looking quite alluring in the red saree draped around her curves perfectly.

"Ahm! Close your mouth", juliana laughed passing a teasing smile towards Akshat.

"Edible",the words involuntarily left his lips that left dadi and juliana to laugh hysterically while Aranya's cheeks flamed hearing his flirty tone. She was continuously passing death glares towards his direction to which he responded with a smirk.

"Let's hurry! We're already late for the pooja(Prayer)",Aranya walked closer to Akshat on noticing everyone leaving the hall slowly and proceeding towards the rooftop.

"What were you muttering? You got me embarrassed in front of everyone. Have some shame specially in front of dadi; Akshat!",she whisper yelled near his ear and that's it. His smirk transformed into a full blown grin.

"Shame for admiring my woman?",he chuckled when she slammed her palm on her forehead and trailed behind viv who was running on the stairs childishly..

This was it guys, a glimpse in their life. I was not wishing to keep my readers hanging and seeing the couple's past sufferings, adding some more was not justiciable.

I'm still busy with my studies but I would like to introduce a plot for my upcoming novel which will be based on Akshat and Aranya's son; Vivan.

Till then, wish you great success, health and love and my journey with Wattpad could be hanging but never ending...
