He had never been this impatient before. Pacing up and down the hallway for last couple of hours, his patience was wearing out as every minute passed by. His best friend - Sameer Rathod, was sitting patiently on one the chairs, right next to his would-be-wife Ayesha. Everybody was calm. Everything was its place. Everybody else in the hallway was patient. All knew that nothing could go wrong now. They have been through enough and were all ready and excited to get promoted. Yes Promoted. Saakshi and Arjun were expecting, and that too Twins. It was Arjun who could not sit calmly and wait for the doctors to deliver the good news. He had no more patience now. He wanted to know how his wife was doing. He had been waiting for this day for the past few months now. Arjun couldn't be any happier. He had been praying silently in his head ever since they brought Saakshi to the hospital.
Arjun and Saakshi are now married. They got married a year back. Saakshi was finally successful in melting a stone. It had been tough. Tough on both of them. Arjun did not want to betray his first loving wife though he wanted to move on. It was only when Rathod and Arjun had a long conversation about what the real betrayal would be - to get married again or to live a life as a corpse? Arjun finally understood that life has given him another chance, another chance to be who he is, another chance to be happy and make others happy. He was at peace after killing the murderer of his Roshni and decided to move on with Saakshi. That girl had changed his life. He felt pleasant when she was around him. She spread happiness and liveliness wherever she would go. She had a warm heart, a heart full of love for everyone. Its true that Saakshi would never be able to achieve the same place Roshni once had or still has in his life, but its impossible to deny that she meant a lot for him now. Arjun was finally able to get back to his family and get his best friend back.
He was pleased to have her in his life.
Rathod had been unable to thank Saakshi enough for bringing his best friend back to life and eradicate all the misunderstandings between the two of them.
After about what seemed years to Arjun, doctor finally stepped out of the room and delivered the best news ever.
"Congratulations, you are father of two beautiful daughters," doctor said, extending his hand to congratulate Arjun.
Arjun's happiness and excitement knew no bounds. He rushed inside the room to meet and greet his angels.
Sameer and Ayesha chuckled at his antics and Sameer thanked Doctor for everything, and inquired about Saakshi's health.
"All are doing great. Looks like God has descended down to the Earth just to bless the mother. I have never seen such beautiful twins before. Congratulations once again." Doctor walked away from the room towards his office.
Sameer smiled at the heavens and let out a sigh. Ayesha took his hands in hers and smiled at him.
Both decided to wait for few minutes and give some privacy to Arjun and his small family.
Here Arjun sprinted towards his wife, hugged her, kissed her on the forehead, thanking her with his eyes.
His attention was now on two little newborns. He approached his angels and took both of them in his arms. That moment was a bliss. Everything seemed perfect.
Both of the baby girls were as beautiful as anything could be. They were two minutes apart. The older one was calm and was smiling with her eyes closed, while the younger one had her eyes open, and was grinning at her father. Arjun could not ask for anything else. He kissed them one after the other and hugged them lightly. Saakshi smiled with all her heart. She was delighted to complete their family.
Arjun kept staring at her angels and was now sitting on the couch inside the room. Sameer and Ayesha entered the room. Both congratulated saakshi and hugged her tightly. They went and sat on either side of Arjun on the couch.
"They are beautiful Arjun," Rathod whispered.
Ayesha brushed her hand on the younger one's head. She, in turn, smiled at Ayesha. Rathod was amazed. The older one slightly opened her eyes and looked at Rathod. Her eyes shone with brightness.
"In dono pariyon ka naam hamaara Arjun rakhega. Kyun Arjun?" said Rathod with a wide smile.
Arjun nodded in a yes, never taking his eyes off the two beautiful angels in his arms.
"Hamaari badi beti ka naam hai - Roshni," He smiled with tears in his eyes and kissed her forehead.
Roshni smiled back at him and looked back at Rathod.
"Aur chhoti beti ka?" asked Shree, along with Chotu and Liza, who had just entered the room with balloons and sweets.
"Hamaari chhoti beti ka naam hoga - Riya." said Arjun, letting out a sigh and instantly hugged the little one.
Riya smiled right next to his heart.
Shree ran and took Riya in his arms. He had tears in his eyes. It was an emotional moment for all of them.
"Hamaari Ri wapas aa gayi," exclaimed Shree, hugging the little girl and grinning at her.
"Aur Roshni bhi," said Rathod, who took Roshni in his arms and thanked God.
Everything seemed perfect for Arjun and Saakshi. Everyone was busy congratulating Saakshi and instructing her about what to do and what not to do.
In the middle of everything, Arjun left the room and went to Bappa's temple somewhere inside the hospital.
He folded his hands in front of Him.
"Aaj main boht khush hoon Bhagwaan. Aapne jo mujhse chheena tha woh lauta diya. Dhaneyawaad Bhagwaan. Aajse hamaari dushmani khatam aur dosti shuru." Arjun smiled and thanked his stars for everything.
