Epilogue:
Kripa: Angad…if you don't stand straight, I'll slap you…
She yelled at her lovely husband for the umpteenth time while tying his tie.
Angad: sorry jaan but it's so hard to stand still when you look so hot!
Kripa: Kuch to sharam karo! Do Bacchon Ke Baap Ho Gaye Ho and the third one is on its way……lekin tumhara bachpana abhi tak nahi gaya…
Angad: hey…we're still young okay?
Kripa: yea yea…who will say that after they see us with three kids?
Angad: um…everyone? come on Kripa…in five years of marriage, three kids…..its pretty normal…
Kripa: really? Angad…at this rate…we will have at least one cricket team in Khanna house…
Angad: you know what?....idea bura nahi hai….
Kripa: ha ha ha Angad. If that was a joke...it was a very bad one....and if you were serious about it then.........FORGET IT! There is no way I'm bringing a fifth child……I must be crazy if I do………I'm already taking care of three kids, fourth one is going to be here in four more months!
Angad: your math is horrible……Kripa…count…Prateek, and Pratheeka….Two kids…and the third is on the way..
Kripa: tum kisi bacche se kam thodi ho?....chalo….your tie is all tied….let me go now…we're getting late…Anjali will kill us if we don't reach in time….and so will Pratheeka…
Angad: yaar…anniversary hamari hai…yeh log humein akela nahi chod sakte?
Kripa: accha?? Sirf hamari anniversary hai kya? Aaj Pratheeka ka birthday hai, and today's Anjali and Raj's wedding party!
Angad: that part was supposed to be a week ago Kripa…it's been almost two weeks since they've been married…wow….two weeks already??...Kripa…doesn't it seem like just yesterday??
Kripa: yea it does…OUCH!...okay baba theek hai….Angad…lets go……my baby is kicking me telling me to get away from his hopelessly romantic daddy…
*note: Raj is played by Rajeev Khandelwal*
Angad held her wrist and pulled her closer gently. He was about to kiss her when someone cleared their throat at the door.
Prateek: papa…aap kya kar rahe hai?
Angad(groaned): cricket khel raha hoon….
Prateek: mujhe bhi khelna hai!
Angad looked at his son, sulking because he missed that one romantic moment with Kripa. Pratheeka entered the room all dressed in her black and red lehenga.
Kripa: Prateek…Pratheeka….jao…put on your shoes…we're leaving before your dad starts playing cricket again.
Angad: yea kids!...listen to mommy…no go…I just have one more wicket to take…
The kids ran out of the room joyfully, Angad closed the door behind them and looked at Kripa in his special way which always made Kripa give in to him.
Kripa: Don't give me that look!! You are so bad!!
Angad: I'm bad?? You're the bad one here…you promised me a kiss every hour…and as long as I remember…you haven't kept your promise for the past three hours…
Kripa crossed her arms, tilted her head, and rolled her tongue inside her mouth and gave him a "come-and-get-me" type of challenging look.
Angad: okay…you asked for it!
Angad walked towards her while she took steps backwards. She regretted it. She shouldn't have given him that look. It just ignited him further. In no time she was standing between her dressing table and him. He brought his lips closer to hers but stopped an inch away when someone pounded on the door.
"Maamu….open the door!!!", two girls yelled simultaneously.
Kripa suppressed her giggle while Angad opened the door to let Prachi and Kripa in.
Angad: what are you two doing here?
Kripa(josh's daughter): Mamma ne bheja hai..kaha hai maamu ko neeche le kar aao varna woh maami ko ready nahi hone denge…
Angad: Iss Aliyah ki bacchi ko to main chodunga nahi…meri bhaanji ke saamne mera kachra kar rahi hai…
Kripa: Pinky……go and tell your mom that maami is ready…and that she should tell josh to leave her alone……because I know that Aliyah isn't ready…if she was then she'd be bugging me to go downstairs….tell your mom okay?
**Pinky is the nickname Josh gave to his daughter Kripa for two reasons. It clears a lot of confusion they had between Angad's wife and Aliyah's daughter and because Kripa, josh's daughter, has loved Pink since she was small.**
Prachi: aap sab jaldi karo na!!! I want to go see mom and dad!! They are bad! They left me here and went for a vacation!
Angad: It's called a honeymoon sweetie…and kids can't go there.
Prachi and Pinky: Why not?
Kripa: oh um..i don't think you want your maamu to answer that. He'll tell you the wrong answer….I'll tell you later when you go for your honeymoon okay?...
Prachi and Pinky: Okay maami!
With that, both chirpy girls left the room. Angad approached Kripa once more after closing the door. He stood where he was before the P&P trouble, as everyone named them, came.
Angad: so…where were we?....oh yes……the kiss…
Angad felt like pulling his hair out when someone knocked on the door again. Kripa patted his shoulders and opened the door, only to stare back with wide eyes. In front of the door stood about 10 kids grinning back at Kripa. From kids that could talk, walk, and run to kids who had just learned to kneel. Angad went to the door to see why Kripa wasn't saying anything. Angad was horrified to see the whole kids gang at his bedroom door.
Everyone at once: The family Wants you to come downstairs…..
Angad: We'll be there in a few minutes…
Everyone: NOW!!!!
Angad groaned and put his arm around Kripa's shoulder.
Angad: let's go…I think I will just have to deal with this…
Half the kids walked before Angad-Kripa while the other half walked behind the couple so that Angad couldn't try any tricks on them. Once they all reached downstairs, all the kids retired to their respective parents. Two kids ran to Josh-Aliyah, Three ran to Armaan-Riddhima, two ran to Kartik-Mishti, while two kneeled to Eijaz-Barkha, three more ran to Naina and Dilip.
Naina: finally…aap dono ko fursat to mil gayi neeche aane ki..
Kripa: nahi mom woh actually Angad..
All the adults giggled as they knew what would have happened between the two. It wasn't a new story, it happened basically everyday.
Naina: jaanti hoon…kuch jyada hi shehtaan ho gaya hai mera beta…
Josh: Shehtaan to kab se tha…lekin shehtaan ke andar apni biwi ke liye jo pyaar hai woh din ba din badh raha hai…kyun Angad?
Aliyah: Lagta hai bhai iss ghar mein at least dus bacchon ki to line laga hi denge…
Armaan: ek do aur chahiye bas ek puri cricket team ke liye.
Everyone laughed while Angad stood there embarrassed with Kripa beside him blushing like no tomorrow.
--::--::--::--
Anjali hugged Kripa and then gave a sisterly hug to Angad. While Kripa gave Raj a sisterly hug. Raj was the 'r' of TAMBER after rahul left. They all had requested Riddhima to join in but she had refused because of her stage fright. Raj and Anjali often met at the rehearsals. Raj really adored Anjali's daughter, Prachi. Prachi and Raj spent a lot of time together for a few days but then Anjali started joined them and eventually, both had fallen in love. Raj knew everything about Dhruv and he understood completely that everyone may have a past.
Raj and Anjali had kept their relationship in the dark thinking that it would seem wrong for a married woman to fall in love with someone else. They thought no one knew, but everyone knew what was happening. They never talked about it to Raj and Anjali about it because they didn't want them to get embarrassed. It all came out in the open when the couple was caught red handed in an intense Lip-lock, by Kripa and Angad who just happened to pass by.
Kripa: by the way Anjali…you might have some explaining to do tonight…and I don't know how much of help Raj is going to be…
Anjali: what happened?
Kripa: Your daughter would like to know what a 'honeymoon' is…
Anjali: Angadddddd……you said 'honeymoon' in front of her didn't you?
Angad: well…she was asking me where her mom and dad were, I couldn't lie to her…
Anjali: meri bacchi ko ekdum bigaad ke rakh diya hai tumne…
Aliyah: sirf bhai ne nahi...josh is equally partners in crime…
Anjali: waise…Raj bhi kuch kam nahi hai..
All the ladies laughed while the guys frowned upon being accused.
Mishti: hey Kripa…sing something na…you wont be in the next concert…but you can sing now…
Kripa: I'm so sorry Mishti…I would do the concert. you know that..
Mishti: but you can't because you're pregnant. completely understood Hun. Lekin aaj tumhari aur Angad ki anniversary hai…kuch to gaa do…please??
Kripa: oh…so you're putting me in the spotlight eh? Okay fine…I'll sing…only if Raj sings with me...he is in the spotlight more than I am…kyun jiju?
Raj looked down and blushed.. Raj was a shy guy but when together with friends, he was no different from Angad and Josh.
Both Raj and Kripa got onto the stage set up at the very end of the hall. Kripa sat on the chair in front of the piano, ready to play while Raj took his place on the chair with his guitar.
Raj: ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for being here and sharing our happiness with us. Today is a very special day. Not only is it a wedding party, but it's also Angad and Kripa's wedding anniversary, and their lovely daughter's birthday! You all know that her birthday party followed my wedding party, and this whole party goes to Angad and Kripa as their gift! Kripa and I will be singing a song, on which, she will give you the intro.
Kripa: Thanks Raj. Today is indeed a very special day because today is the day that has always brought me happiness and smiles. There is more to this day that My husband and I share.
Angad knew what she was talking about. Today wasn't only their anniversary and Pratheeka's birthday. Today was the day when Kripa had come out of coma, and regained her memory. She was right. The day more the most special day in their lives.
Kripa: Thanks for everything Angad. Thanks for being there whenever I needed a friend. Thanks for being with me when I took a new step in life. If I start a list of thank you's that I can send out to you, it will go on until this very day another year from now…so I'd just like to sum it up and say, Thank You for Being My Life. (Angad mouthed an 'I Love You' from the audience making Kripa smile and blush on the stage.) and today…I would like to sing a song, dedicated to my husband.
Both Kripa and Raj started playing the music. Anjali and Angad stood side by side in the crowd watching their life partner up on the stage as they sent out a message in the form of music.
(I have merged the lyrics of the male and female version of this song)
Raj:
I got a
feeling incomplete in my heart,
Don't want to go it alone though we can never be apart,
We can never be apart,
U make me feel complete coz you are a piece of my heart
You're the one for me I knew it right from the start
Yeh, we can never be apart,
We can never be apart, we can never be apart.
Kripa:
Mmm…
Apne rang gawaen bin, mere rang mein ghul jao
Ohh..
Apne rang gawaen bin, mere rang mein ghul jao
Apni dhoop bujhaye bin, meri chhao mein aa jao
Oh chalo yoon kare,
Tum, tum bhi raho, main, main bhi rahoon
Hum, hum bhi rahein
Oh tum, tum bhi raho, main, main bhi rahoon
Hum, hum bhi rahein
Teeno mil ke saath chale
Saathi janam janam, u me aur hum.
U me aur hum, U me aur hum.
Raj:

Both:
Apne rang gawaen bin, mere rang mein ghul jao
Apni dhoop bujhaye bin, meri chhao mein aa jao
Kripa:
Jaise baadal paani ka, yaarana hai
Jaise gul aur khushboo ka, dostana hai
Oh jaise baadal paani ka, yaarana hai
Jaise gul aur khushboo ka, dostana hai
Waise hee rahein hum tum
Waise hi jiyein hum tum
Ohhh
Tere mere haathon mein, koi bhi pinjara na ho
Ek duje par apna,
Haq toh ho kabza na, ho har haal mein,
Tum, tum tum bhi raho, main, main bhi rahoon
Hum, hum bhi rahein
Oh…..
Raj:
When my heart goes on,
Misses a beat, I know it's got to be you girl,
You sweep me off my feet
Sweep me off my feet, oh you sweep me off my feet
And when the blood from my heart
Rushes into my brain, it sends a message to me
To say you're driving me insane,
You know you're driving me insane, driving me insane
Love gives your heart the power, to open up and flower
Calling it every hour, but its refrained, its refrained
Tu Meri Khamoshiyon Ka, Saaz HaiTeri Lafzon Mein Meri Aawsaz Hai Tu Meri Khamoshiyon Ka, Saaz HaiTeri Lafzon Mein Meri Aawaaz HaiRaaz Ye Sabhi Hum Tum,Jaan Lein Abhi Hum Tum. O Teri Aasoo Ki Ladi,Meri Aankhon Se BaheHar Khushi Chhoti Badi, Tere Hoton Pe Rahe,O Chal Yun Jeeyein,Sau Gham Bhi Ho Agar, Aankh Nam Bhi Ho ParDil Dil Hi Rahe,Milke Saare Khwaab JeeyeinMilke Sabhi BharamU Me Aur Hum…
Kripa:
Ek din toh woh lamha, bhi aana hai
Dono me se ek ne, chale jaana hai
Ho… ek din toh who lamha, bhi aana hai
Dono me se ek ne, chale jaana hai
Baatein yeh sabhi hum tum, jaanlein abhi hum tum
Oh dono mil ke saath mein, aise jeena seekh lein

Both :

Apni dhoop bujhaye bin, meri chhao mein aa jao
Oh chalo yoon kare,
Tum, tum bhi raho, main, main bhi rahoon
Hum, hum bhi rahein
Oh tum, tum bhi raho, main, main bhi rahoon

Saathi janam janam, u me aur hum.
U me aur hum, U me aur hum.
U me aur hum, U me aur hum,
U me aur hum, aur hum.
Kripa wiped the tear that had escaped her eyes though she had tried to suppress it. Angad and Anjali both walked onto the stage. The hall was taken over by pin drop silence. No applause, no cheering, nothing. Angad and Anjali both embraced their love, not wanting to let go. Kripa smiled as a couple of more tears dropped. The hall broke into applause and cheering and whistling once the couples had hugged. The Khanna family also wiped their tears. The last verse Kripa sang had really touched them because it really went with their own lives. They had almost lost Kripa, twice!
--::--::--::--
Angad lay on the bed with his back resting against the headboard and Kripa cuddling him.
Kripa: Angad…
Angad: hmmm?
Kripa(looked up at him): I Love You.
Angad(smiled): I love you too……lekin achanak…
Kripa: I just felt I dont say it enough…
Angad: you don't need to say it…tum kaho ya na kaho…I know you love me…
Then, suddenly, Kripa remembered something. She sat up and turned around to face him. Angad looked at her confused.
Angad: kya hua?
Kripa: tum kuch bhul rahe ho…
Angad: really??...what?
Kripa: never mind…I'll remind you later….right now let me go check on the kids…
Angad: no need…I tucked them in…they're asleep…
Kripa: thanks…
Angad: thanks?? Im no baby-sitter Kripa…im their awesome daddy…
Kripa: uh-huh…their awesome daddy and my awesome hubby..
Angad: no…in that case. You are my awesome wifey…(Kripa smiled and rested her head against his shoulder)..thanks for singing that song for me Kripa…it really meant a lot to me……
Kripa: YOU mean a lot to me…I don't know what I'd do without you…you and the kids are my life…
Both sat there again quietly with Kripa's head resting on his shoulder, his head resting on hers while he caressed her stomach, where their baby slept peacefully. Out of the blue, Kripa turned and kissed him taking him by surprise. He looked at her with questioning eyes.
Kripa: woh..prateek had disturbed your cricket match remember?
Angad smirked naughtily and pulled her onto the bed, clouding over her, making sure he wasn't putting any kind of weight on her.
Angad: I love Cricket too much to play only one match…how about a world cup series?
Kripa(turned red at his shameless talks): besharam…baby is listening you know?
Angad lowered himself and put his lips over hers, making her incapable of talking further.
==::==::==::==
Kripa: ANGAD!!! I swear to god if you don't drive faster….i'm going to deliver right here!!!!!!
Angad: I'm trying baby…but I can't go too fast…can't risk it!!!
Kripa: I don't care!!! I need a doctor!! NOW!!!
Angad: Kaash gynecologist ban gaya hota…kya museebat hai!
Kripa: museebat?? Museebat??? Yahan aa kar baccha paida karo tab pata chalega museebat kya hoti hai!!!
Angad: okay okay sorry!!!! Im driving I'm Driving!
Kripa: oh god! Okay Kripa..calm..breathe….in through nose, out through mouth….
She practiced her breathing until Angad reached the hospital and scooped her out of the car.
Angad: oh god!! Aaj t meri kamar gayi! Tumhara weight achanack double ho gaya hai Kripa!
Kripa: Angad!!!! You Rascal!!! I'll fight with you later!!! Get me a doctor…NOW.
She held his collar and shook him vigorously while Angad made his way into the hospital. He lay her on the stretcher while two ward boys and a nurse approached them. Seeing Kripa's conditions, they took her in right away. Angad held her hand and walked beside her stretched and asked the ward boys to stop.
Kripa: Stop??? Have you gone insane Angad!! Whats wrong with you….dont you see I'm in la….
Before she could say anything, Angad shut her up by planting a kiss on her lips. She calmed instantly though the pain was unbearable. He parted from her and cupped her face.
Angad: you'll be fine! I'm waiting for you…I love you!
Kripa(whispered through pain): I love you too!
The ward boys took her into the delivery room and closed the door. Angad paced up and down and called Dilip.
Dilip: bas beta hum pahunch hi gaye hai…im just parking!
Angad: dad…aapko aane ki jarurat nahi thi…main tha na yahan par..
Dilip: are beta bacche zidd karne lage ki mamma pappa ke paas jayenge…to mujhe aur naina ko unhe le kar aana pada….Kripa kaisi hai?
Angad: She's in the delivery room…
Dilip: don't worry…she'll be fine…
Angad: yea….i'll see you then.
Angad prayed silently for Kripa's welfare. He was nervous this time because even for the two kids before, she had never felt so much pain. But this time, she couldn't tolerate it. Angad just hoped that everything would be fine in the end. Prateek and Pratheeka ran to Angad as soon as their spotted their daddy dearest at the end of the long hallway. Angad hugged them both and placed them in his lap. Dilip and Naina reached as well and took a seat beside Angad.
After about two hours, a nurse stepped out smiling. That meant everything was fine. Angad smiled and got up.
Angad: How is Kripa?
Nurse: She is absolutely fine. Everything is normal.
Naina: ladka hai ya ladki?
Nurse just smiled and walked away leaving Angad, Dilip, and Naina confused. They paced across in the front of the door waiting for someone else to come out so they could know what was happening. Another half an hour later, the nurse told Angad that he could visit Kripa in her room. He asked the nurse whether it was a boy or a girl. The nurse smiled, just like the one before, and walked away. Angad shrugged his shoulders.
Naina: Angad…tum pehle Kripa se mil aao…hum chaar baad mein aa jaate hai…
Angad smiled and thanked Naina through his eyes. She knew he would want to be the first one to see her and have a little privacy of course.
In Kripa's room:
Kripa heard footsteps approached speedily, and knew right away that it was Angad. She pulled the covers until her neck and pretended to be asleep. Angad walked in and saw her "sleeping" peacefully. The radiant glow of happiness on her face made him smile. Her complexion was so bright; she looked two shades fairer than she was. He ran his hand through her hair and kissed her forehead. She opened her eyes and smiled at him.
Angad: how are you feeling?
Kripa: Like the happiest woman on earth.
Angad: uh-huh……even I want to feel like the happiest man on earth…koi bata nahi raha hai…kam se kam tum to bata do…beta hai ya beti? Pata hai mein kab se puchne ki ko…
Kripa put her finger on his lips and shushed him. She nodded her head towards the back of the room. Angad turned and looked only to get a big surprise. He looked back at Kripa and back at the corner, stunned. Kripa went closer to his ear and whispered, "Twins!" Angad rushed to the cribs still not believing her. He saw two tiny bundles of joy in two separate cribs. One who looked like him and the other who looked exactly like Kripa.
Angad: a boy and a girl?
Kripa: yea…
Angad advanced his hands towards one of them but then towards the other one. When he couldn't decide, he just went back to Kripa and hugged her tightly chanting "thank you" continuously. Kripa hugged him back and hid her flushed face in his neck curve. Naina cleared her throat at the door. Angad parted and ran to Naina, hugging her just as tight.
Naina: Angad relax!!!!
Angad: relax??? You're telling me to relax!! Come here (pulling Naina towards the cribs while Dilip followed): you want me to relax mom???
Naina looked at the twins just as surprised. That was certainly not expected. Naina and Dilip joined Angad and hugged each other laughing, giggling, and smiling, like no tomorrow. Kripa looked at them while her eyes filled with happiness. Naina came and sat beside her.
Naina: jeeti raho beti!...tumne hamesha hamari ghar khushiyon se bhara ha…aaj humhe ek pota ya ek poti milne waali thi lekin tumne dono de diye……thank you beta……I cant wait to tell everyone….mein abhi call karke aathi hoon…
Naina and Dilip left to make a number of phone calls to convey the great news. Angad carried one of the newborns and handed over to Kripa. Then went back to carry the other one. Prateek and Pratheeka, amused, climbed on the bed. Pratheeka and Angad looked at the baby boy in his arms while Mamma and her prince watched the girl.
Angad: hmm…Kripa…..humne naam to decide kiye hi nahi…
Kripa: nahi!..iss baar mein naam rakhungi…
Angad: that's not fair…kam se kam ek ka naam to rakhne do mujhe…
Kripa: come on Angad…please???
She put on the puppy face that could convince Angad to divorce her.
Angad(sighed): fine……
Kripa: I already know what im naming out daughter……her name is going to be Diya.
Angad: Lovely choice sweetheart…what about our son…
Kripa: hmm…..Prateek, prateeka, diya…..something that fits the rhythm…and the name should start with a 'd'…….this is tricky…
Angad and Kripa continued thinking but couldn't come up with anything until Angad's mind pulled out a name.
Angad: Dev!...Prateek, Pratheeka, Dev, Diya!
Kripa: I love it!...its perfect…..
Angad: everything is perfect…our family is perfect, our kids are perfect, life is perfect, you are perfect…
Kripa: no I'm not…I cant be perfect because without you I am incomplete…and incomplete things are never perfect…which is why my love…..WE are perfect!
Angad loved it when she talked like that. He smiled, moved closer, and engaged her in a passionate kiss.
