When settlement settles well in story there comes a silence before cheers, and that silence has its own chamber in each story.

Silence was prevailing in Subhashikta's house. There should be a joyful ambiance after Dikarsh was punished, but there was no sign of such ambiance as the incident of last evening had interrupted the upcoming flow of joy, in advance.

In silence suddenly a knock was heard on the door of Smriti's door. Looking at the visitors she nodded at them permitting them to come inside.

"Aunty, why are you packing your stuff?" Radhika had guessed the reason of Smriti's packing, but she chose that question as she wasn't prepared for a proper conversation.

"This question doesn't suit to an intelligent lawyer like you," Smriti looked at Radhika with a gentle smile.

"You are leaving us due to my rudeness!" Subhashikta managed to occupy the space in between Smriti and her suitcase preventing her from packing more.

"No, Subha. Your reaction was all obvious, and that wasn't rudeness at all. That was just a misconception," Subhashikta's childish action widened Smriti's smile. It was the first time she was smiling widely at Subhashikta's actions rather than flashing a non humorous expression.

"Then why are you leaving, Smriti?" Yashika too didn't want to let Smirti leave.

"I am leaving, because I have to leave now. The reason of my stay had been over. I fulfilled the unuttered promise I had made to Nityank," Smirti cleared her reason of leaving.

"You had promised to protect his family, right?" Yashika's intention of convincing Smirti was all evident in her words.

"If you leave then all of us will suffer from grief of losing you and guilt of not loving you in the way you deserve," Radhika held Smirti's hands in tears.

"I had received enough love from you both in these years," though Smirti was getting melted she decided not to show that up.

"We had loved you as a mother, but you weren't only a mother. You were the protectress who had been living for only purpose, and that was our protection. Loving you as a selfless figure is still left, aunty," Subhashikta poured out her emotions for Smirti.

"Please let allow us to love you in that way, aunty. We are sorry. Please, don't go," Radhika's hold on Smirti's hands was getting tighter.

"You had promised your self to be for papa forever, and the life span of forever can't be this short," Subhashikta's words surprised Smirti as that was the exact promise of her heart.

"How do you know about this promise?" Smirti asked.

"Your love is selfless and the prime promise of selfless love is forever for you," Subhashikta had experience the same in love with Parth.

"You are quite mature in case of love. What should I name this maturity, Subha?" Finally some cheerful vibes mixed in air when Smirti raised her eyebrows at Subhashikta, playfully.

Subhashikta was scolding herself for not finding a quick answer.

"Wait, I think I know the name of this maturity, and it's Parth," Smirti chuckled sharing happy glances with Radhika and Yashika.

"You are teasing me, aunty! Not fair!" Subhashikta turned her face away as that was the best option available to her to hide her blush.

"Get habituated with this, because you can't get rid of this for your whole lifetime," Smirti's declaration made Subhashikta turned towards her all happily.

"That means you are going to stay with us, right?" Yashika was confirming before cheering Smirti's decision.

After Smirti's positive node sisters jumped into her embrace. The hug lasted for long which was cherished by Smirti and was admired by Yashika.

"Let's capture this special moment of forever for you," Radhika invited everyone to pose for some pics.

Finally, the picture perfect moment was celebrated, all heartily.

On other hand everyone was sitting and enjoying in lawn in Parth's home.

"So, this was Parth's story! It was so filmy," Pratikshit had an admiring smile on his lips at the end of Krish's narration about Parth's love story.

"Parth, you had hided your love story from me!" Anyasa's glare had a mixed shade of complain and cuteness.

"It took time to understand my feelings, Sweetie. After that I was struggling amidst uncertainty to find her, and after finding her also our story took time to reach at its destination. Please, forgive me," Parth tried to convince Anyasa with his charm.

"Does he deserve your forgiveness that easily?" Krish picked up his favourite role to play, and that was trouble maker of Parth.

"You are no less than him. He was struggling with his love story, but you didn't have any such issue. Then why didn't you hide your love story from me?" The trouble maker trapped in his words when Anyasa shifted her glare at him. That was Parth's turn to enjoy.

"Because of him, of course. We both took birth together and grew up together. So, I was waiting for buddy's love story to get settled well so that we both could confess you together," Parth gave a sulky look when the point of accusation shifted towards him by Krish.

"If loving my buddy was wrong, if waiting for him wishing wellbeing of his love story is wrong, if considering him is wrong then punish me as much as you can, Sweetie!" Krish added further lines to make his statements affective. Parth was looking at him in awe thinking how smartly Krish had turned the situation up in his favour.

"Such a melodramatic guy!" Pratikshit whispered.

"Gone after you in this case," Parineya came forward to support her son.

"I was just complimenting him," Pratikshit corrected his statement with an innocent smile even after knowing that couldn't bring him success.

"I also returned your compliment on his behalf," Parineya replied with a smirk.

"It's all fine, my dashing pies. I am happy for both of you," amidst the banter of the couple Anyasa side hugged both Parth and Krish.

"Then let's celebrate this special moment of forever for you," Parth took out his phone alerting everyone to give good poses.

One more picture perfect moment was captured filling cheerful memories into lives for the whole lifetime.
