After setting the bet, the war began. In the first round itself, Sakshi and Ansh were able to release their soldiers, followed by Arjun in the 3rd round and at the end, Avni in the 4th round. The game was fierce one with no one showing mercy. It was like the other team's soldier death was happiness for them. Pratima and Ganga were enjoying the show. They were cheering both the team. Soon the war became brutal. Any opponent soldier who came in between was killed in the blink of an eye. There was one highlight of the war.

The game was slowly coming to an end. Everyone had only one ludo piece left except Avni, who unfortunately had 2 left. It was Avni's turn to throw the dice. Avni threw the dice and got a 4. When she checked the ludo pieces she saw that one ludo piece needed four to enter the house, while the other ludo piece needed four to kill Ansh's last ludo piece which was just one step away from entering the house. Avni was in dilemma now. To kill or not to kill.

"Avni doesn't think too much and kills him otherwise we are going to lose. Avni does it." Sakshi encouraged Avni to kill while Ansh was sitting silently waiting to see what Avni was going to do. Avni looked up and saw Ansh looking at her intensely. Seeing such intense stare she turned her focus towards the Ludo board. Finally, she took her decision and took her ludo piece and moved it 4 steps ahead.

"Yes, Avni you did the right thing. You are dead bro." Sakshi high-fived Avni. "I didn't expect this from you." Ansh faked a sad face. While these three were still busy with this kill, Arjun had already thrown the dice and got 6 and 4. He moved his ludo piece and not only did he entered the house but also win the game. "Kids game over. I won." Everyone turned their head and realized that their father was saying the truth. Ansh quickly stood and high-fived his dad. "Sakshi once again you lose. Yes, we won." Avni and Sakshi were still in a daze. Sakshi quickly recovered and stood up. "I choose dad." Everyone got confused at what she was saying. "Remembered I told before the game started that winner can ask anything from loser but it is a loser who will choose which winner can ask her anything he wants." Everyone nodded at her. "So I choose dad." Ansh realized that the loser from whom he can ask anything is Avni, he became happy. This is what he wanted from the starting. He was happy that today luck was on his side. He took out his phone and texted someone.

"Good job sis. Thanks for choosing dad. You are awesome. Ask me anything and I will get it for you."

Sakshi took out her when she felt her phone vibrated. When she saw that she had got a text from Ansh, she looked up towards and he gave her signal to check her phone. Sakshi read the text and got confused. She couldn't understand why her brother was thanking her but then who cares, she is getting one more gift.

After the game was over, Avni and Pratima went to prepare dinner while Ganga went to rest and others decided to watch some movie. "You know Avni just because you and Arjun Ji were playing, the game ended otherwise when these two play games it never gets completed," Pratima said and laughed. "Why mom?" "Because every time these two will fight and then one will go away.then the game just ends there. These two can never stop their childish behavior. I just hope my grandchildren don't become like them." Avni suddenly became still when Pratima took up the topic of grandchildren. She became flustered. It's not like she had never thought of having children. She obviously wants to have children but then she is so young. She doesn't know if she will be capable of taking care of them. She was lost in her thoughts when she heard Pratima calling her name. "Yes, mom." "Where were you lost?" "Ahh, nothing mom just was thinking about something." Both then got busy with cooking.

It was late at night. Everybody had gone to their respective rooms after dinner. Avni and Ansh were lying on the bed with Avni in his embrace. Ansh had noticed that from the dinner time Avni was looking lost. "Avni," Ansh called her name but got no reply. "Avni." He once again called her name. "Huh?." She got out of her trance and looked up at his face, to see him looking at her with a worried expression. "Ji Ansh ji??" "What is going on in your head? From the dinner time you seem lost." "Nothing, it's just studies related." "I know you are lying Avni. Tell me the truth, what is it?" Avni became quiet, thinking she should tell him or not. But then it involves him also so she decided to tell him.

"Ansh ji..." "Yes. Avni, What is it?" "Today mom was telling me how you and Sakshi bicker and how she doesn't want her grandchildren to be like you two." Ansh laughed at what his mother had said. "Why are thinking so much about this?" "It just that I wanted to ask you something." "So ask Avni. You can ask me anything you want." Avni took some time before asking him. "Have you ever thought about having children?" Ansh finally realized what she was thinking. He knows that children are a serious topic. It is something that needs the understanding of both the parents.

"It will be a lie if I told you that I never thought of kids. I am 28 Avni, Obviously, I have thought about kids, I even hoped of having at least one child before turning thirty." Avni breath hiked when she heard him. She is just 21. She doesn't know if she is ready to have kids or will be in two years. But then she can't ignore her husband's wish. Ansh noticed her forehead ceased, he knew what she was thinking. Ansh scooped her closer and once again made her look into his eyes. "Avni we are not going to have kids till you are ready. Its okay with me to have kids later. Don't worry, for now, concentrate on your studies." Avni felt a little light after hearing his words. "Thak you so much Ansh ji." "If you thankful then give something I want." "What?" "A kiss... Today mom came and interrupted our kiss... God, I missed you so much.." Avni laughed when she heard his words but then her laughter stopped when he pulled her into a passionate kiss. The kiss was intense and full of emotions.
