Epilogue
Maan and Geet returned home after a few days of observation in the hospital. Geet was feeling a little better, but she still felt weak at times. But one thing couldn't leave her mind... her dream... while she was in a coma.
Geet held onto her long mangalsutra and she looked at Maan with affectionate eyes. She had sprained her ankle badly in the proccess, so she would be on crutches for a bit. Maan had held her close as he helped her sit into his car and he took her crutches and he put them at the backseat. Geet put her seatbelt on and she saw Maan coming into the drivers seat and sitting down.
She looked at his tired face. He looked like he hadn't even slept for a week... " Maan..." said Geet. Maan was about to start the car until he stopped and looked at her. " Kya hua?"
" I love you" smiled Geet. Maan broke into a large smile, " I love you too Mishti" " Start the car dhak dhak" teased Geet. Maan laughed, " You're lucky that you're on crutches... or else I would've pounced on you"
" Haww Maan.." said Geet. " What haww Geet... we've been married for... about five years now? and you know it isn't our first time" winked Maan. " Sharam kijiye" whispered Geet. She blushed bright red as if it was the first time they met.
Maan laughed and he started the car and backed out of the car. They drove from Delhi City Hospital towards their home, " Khurana Mansion"
Geet looked out blankly and she kept on remembering her dream. Why that dream? What was the reason?
Geet then looked at Maan who was concentrated on driving and he was looking straight ahead. She put her hands on his which were on one of the gears. He looked to the side and smiled...
" Maan..." said Geet. " Whats wrong?" asked Maan.Geet mentally slapped herself for that. Who was she kidding? Maan could read her mind like a book. She was like an open book for him.
" Kya hua Dr. Geet?" teased Maan. " Maan... Im really bothered about something..." said Geet. "Go on Geet" said Maan.
" When I was in a coma, I saw a dream..." began Geet. Maan only raised an eyebrow and she continued, " Maan... that dream was so real... I felt like I was living it..."
" What did you dream about?" asked Maan. He could tell by the tone of her voice, that she was really disturbed.
Geet told Maan the dream and he only stayed quiet. He was getting a little worried. She was really worried... It seemed like it scared her... even worse than a mere nightmare.
Maan only hid his worried feeling with a smile. " Geet... it was a dream baby, its not real..."
" Par Maan... I thought I had lost everyone... it scared me" said Geet as she looked down. Maan pulled over and he turned the car off. Geet looked at him questioningly and he turned his body halfway towards her. He took her hand and he smiled, " Geet...a dream is only a dream... its never real and I'm glad to have you right in front of me... your Maan is here..."
A smile captured Geet's lips and she only said, " Maan... if you are with me, then I don't have to worry, you've always been my shield, my barrier from all troubles..."
"Thats my girl" smiled Maan as he kissed her hand.
"Let's go Maan, Dadimaa must be waiting" said Geet. "Oh by the way Geet...you know how its been five years since we've been married and...Armaana and Ridhimma already are parents... sooo... I was wondering if we could also-" smirked Maan.
Geet blushed, " Maan!... seriously... way to get me off guard"
" Mishti... I really want a baby..." smiled Maan. " Okay... fine... have a baby Maan..." laughed Geet. " Geet!... seriously..." sighed Maan.
Geet laughed so hard... she loved teasing Maan. Maan yanked her hand and she landed so close to his face... He only smirked and looked into her eyes, " If you want, we can tell everyone that our first baby was created on the way home"
Geet punched his arm softly and she smiled shyly," Maan! not here"
"Why?... its a tight space... but we can put the seats down..." laughed Maan. "MAAN.." laughed Geet. " Seriously Geet... stop turning me on by saying my name... " joked Maan. She punched him on the arm a little harder, " Mr. Khurana, not here... but..."
" But??" said Maan as his ears shot up.
She smirked and she took her free hand and ran her fingers down the side of his face, " I promise I'll give you a baby tonight... how about that?"
Maan's face brightened up and he kissed her forhead, " Thankyou... but I think we'll have fun tonight..."
"Get driving or else I'll break my promise" joked Geet. Maan smiled and he let go of her and he started the car again. Geet only laughed at him. He was the sweetest thing ever.
" So its a deal Lady Handa?" joked Maan. Geet's smile vanished and Maan realized what he had said. "Sorry" said Maan. Geet only smiled again and she nodded her head, " Its okay Mr. Khurana... lets go"
They drove on and Geet as usual chirped on and on about something and Maan only listened. He got use to her talking and perhaps talking to herself at times.
They arrived home and Geet looked out of her window to see the Khurana Mansion decorated with bright lights. It looked the same way the day they got married... and she was entering the mansion the first time.
Maan squeezed her hand and she only reflected pure joy, " Maan! its beautiful..."
" You're beautiful" said Maan. " Lets go!" said Geet. The guard opened the gate and Maan drove in and parked his car in the driveway. Geet unfastened her seatbelt and Maan quickly came out of the car and he took out her crutches and then he opened her door. He helped Geet out and helped her with the crutches. She limped with the crutches and then Maan stopped her.
" Kya hua! chalein naa" said Geet. " Put all your weight on me" instructed Maan. Geet only frowned and she did what he told her to do. Maan called the guard to take the crutches. Geet was leaning on Maan. Maan smiled and then he scooped her up in his arms.
Geet blushed, " Maan! everyone is at home.. are you crazy?"
" Crazy about you Lady Handa... what can I do?" smiled Maan. He carried her towards the door and he rang the doorbell.
Dadimaa opened the large doors and she smiled, " Come in!"
Maan carried Geet in and Dadimaa only laughed, " Maan bete... bechari Geet sharam se laal ho rahi hain..."
" Maan! neechay utariye!" exclaimed Geet. Maan only laughed and Geet went even more red. He carried her all the way to the living room and he put her on the couch softly. Maan sat beside her and asked her if her foot was okay.
" Am I the doctor or are you Mr. Khurana" teased Geet. " seriously Geet... a cardiologist wife... makes my heart race" joked Maan. Dadimaa laughed, " You kids are too much"
Dadimaa sat on the other side of Geet and she stroked her hair lovingly, " Geet bete...we were so worried about you!"
Dadimaa kissed her forhead and Geet hugged her hard, " It is so nice to see you again Dadimaa"
The ladies broke out of the hug and they talked for awhile and Nakul brought in tea and some light refreshments. "Thanks kaka" smiled Geet. " It is nice to have you back beti" smiled Nakul. " Acha Nakul... aapne saara intezaam kar liya hain naa?" asked Dadimaa as she sipped her tea. Geet looked at dadimaa a little confused and Maan only smiled to the side. Geet could read her husbands smile and she had a fluttery feeling in her stomach.
The three talked for a bit until Maan said, " Uh Geet... tum thak gayi hogi... chalo.. Ill take you upstairs" Geet only rolled her eyes and Dadimaa nodded.
Maan scooped her up again and Geet waved quickly to dadimaa and Maan just gave her the bedroom eyes...
He took her upstairs and he softly kicked the door open. Geet looked at the room. It was beautifully set up...around their large bed, there were flowerings hanging from above and candles lit. The large balcony window was open and the white curtains blew softly in the light breeze of a cool Delhi night.
Geet looked at Maan with shy eyes and he shut the door behind him with his foot and he walked over to the bed, setting her down softly. Geet only held onto the sheets tighter and Maan just looked at her with a smirk.
"Ready?" asked Maan. Geet only looked to the side and she blushed... Maan sat down in front of her softly and he put his hand on her cheek and she just closed her eyes tightly. " Baby?" said Maan.
Geet laughed and she slowly stripped her dupatta off and she pulled him forward by the collars, and he kissed her softly, and then she responded with passion...
Their night was the most beautiful night they could possibly imagine... They became one life, one soul, one breath...
***************************Nine Months later**************
"Maan!" yelled Geet as she sat on the bed and he was at his desk looking at a couple of files. He wanted to make sure that he was around her most of the time so if she broke into labour pain, he would tend to her right away.
He jumped out of his seat and he went to her and she said, " Our baby's kicking me so hard"
Maan sighed with a breath of relief. " Geet! you scared me"
" OUCH" yelled Geet. Their baby was really kicking hard. But then she felt another kick... " MAAN.. OUR BABY IS KICKING..." whispered Geet. She was in pain.. " Oh God Geet... did your water break!?" exclaimed Maan. Geet laughed a little, " No my big baby husband"
"Come on Geet... stop joking around" said Maan. He only kissed her forhead and he went back to his files..
Geet was laughing at him. He was so sweet. He didn't let her even move an inch these nine months. She hated that she looked so fat... when they would shop she would hate it that girls would look at him...
" Maan..." said Geet. " Hm?" said Maan as he was working.
" Would you love me even if I was fat?" said Geet. Maan stopped working and he dropped his pen... he spun around from his chair and he frowned at her. " Geet.. why are you asking me that?"
" Because..." said Geet as she fiddled with her fingers. Maan stood up and went over to her and sat in front of her. He took her hand, " Geet... are you just saying that because girls still look at me and you feel ugly because you dont have your usual petite and thin figure..."
Geet pouted and she only nodded... Maan looked at her... Whos the baby now? "Geet... everytime I look at you, you look even more beautiful and you know when a woman looks more beautiful?" said Maan.
Geet looked at him innocently, " When she first meets her husband?"
Maan only nodded his head in negative, " A woman who is about to have a baby"
"Why?!!" said Geet. " Because Geet.. you have that beautiful glow on your face that tells me I have done something so honorable in my life.." smiled Maan.
A smile caught at Geet's lips and she had a tear roll down and she grabbed his hand and put it on her stomach, " Your papa babyy.."
She moved a little and she was near him... and she kissed him passionately and he responded. She broke out of it breathlessly... and he only laughed, " Geet.. wait till this baby is outo f you, then we'll create another one..."
Geet laughed and she kissed him again... she loved Maan so much. She was so lucky to have a husband like him...
A few moments after, Geet felt a shooting pain... She broke out of the kiss and she yelped, " MAAN! MY WATER BROKE"
Maan was so surprised but he quickly reacted and he picked her up... " DADIMAA... TELL NAKUL TO GET THE CAR OUT!"
Dadimaa rushed to tell Nakul and Geet was screaming... " MAAAN"
"we're almost there baby.. hold on!" exclaimed Maan. Maan took her down the stairs quickly and he and Dadimaa went out the door. Maan put her in the back with Dadimaa and Dadimaa only calmed her down. " BREATHE GEET... BREATTHEE" encouraged Maan as he started the car.
"HAYE RABBBAAA" screamed Geet... Maan's heart skipped a beat and he backed the car out and drove furiously through the Delhi roads... " MAAAN" cried Geet...
Maan finally reached the hospital and he took Geet out and he rushed her in... " MY WIFE IS IN LABOR!" yelled Maan. Doctors and nurses quickly rushed to the scene and they rolled out a bed for her. Maan set her down and she was screaming and crying..
Just then Armaan and Ridhimma rushed out and she was smiling so hard, " GEEET.. RELAX YAAR.. ARAAM SE... BREATHE KAR.. YOUVE ALREADY ASSISTED MANY BIRTHS.. TERI BAARI"
"AAAGHH" yelled Geet. Armaan only let the lady doctors and nurses go ahead and he was there comforting Maan.
" Koi baat nahin yaar.. hota hain... she's in labor pain... it only lasts a few hours" said Armaan. Maan looked at his friend with surprise, " A few hours?"
Armaan laughed, " Sorry.. I forgot you're not a doctor.. your wife is.. the labor pain lasts about 8-9 hours depending on the woman"
Maan looked so worried... " Oh my God."
Armaan only walked with him outside the labor room... They sat there waiting and Maan could hear her screaming... and yelling out his name... His heart was going to tear out... he felt like going there and taking all the pain away.
Maan and Dadimaa were in the waiting room and she comforted him.
Finally, after a few hours Geet's screaming and crying stopped. Maan wanted to see her... the labor pain seemed to rip her soul out...
Ridhimma came out and she smiled, " You can come in after half an hour after mom and baby are cleaned.."
"Geet okay!?! our baby... boy or girl!?" said Maan. " No Mr. Khurana.. Geet knows... I wont be telling " smiled Ridhimma.
Maan sighed and he waited a little longer.
After half an hour, Maan could come in since he was the father.
He entered the room to find it quiet... He smiled and he saw Geet laying there peacefully. He went upto her and he kissed her forhead, " Wake up Mishti"
Geet slowly opened her eyes and weakly smiled, " I'm up"
Maan sat beside her on the side of the bed and he hugged her, " I love you so much Geet... thankyou..." She only had a tear slip out from her eyes, " I love yuo too"
Subsuquently, Ridhimma came out with two small babies small baby wrapped blankets. One with a pink one. One with a blue.
Maan smiled hard, " TWO?" Geet laughed and she said, " Thats why it lasted so long Mr. Khurana"
"Congratulations Maan Geet... its twins for you... a baby girl and baby boy" said Ridhimma. Geet took her babies in her arms... and Ridhimma held them in case.. " Can I hold my baby girl?" asked Maan. " Of course!" said Ridhimma.
Maan took the baby girl and Geet took her baby boy... They beamed at their children. " My baby girl" smiled Maan. He kissed her tiny nose softly and she only moved a little.. and Geet, " My prince" and she kissed him on the forhead softly.
They beamed at eachother and Maan said, " Thankyou Geet... Thankyou for giving me double joy."
" Can I hold my princess now?" asked Geet. Maan nodded and Ridhimma held the baby boy for a second and Geet took her baby girl and Maan took the baby boy, " Hi champ.. kaisay ho?" said Maan softly as he kissed him on the nose softly... and Geet said, " My princess.. I love you so much" and she kissed her nose...
Maan and Geet were proud parents and Dadimaa shortly came in with Armaan and she held them one by one...
" What can we name them?" asked Geet. " My baby girl came as a fairy... so its Pari for me"
"My boy" said Geet. " Hmm.. boy... lets see..."
" Sameer..." smiled Geet. "Hey Sam" whispered Maan. " Hey Pari" whispered Geet.
**************************Four years later***********************************
" SAMEER... BADMAASH.. GIVE BACK YOUR SISTER'S TOYS" yelled Geet as she ran through the hallways. " NA NA NA NA BOOO BOOO MOMMYY" yelled Sameer as he made his mother chase him.
Geet held Pari in her arms and she only cried, " SAMMY... COME HERE NOW...OR ELSE YOU WON'T GET TO WATCH SPIDERMAN"
Sameer stopped dead in his tracks and he turned around. He looked at his mother stop and she glared at him. He looked at her with his innocent hazel eyes and he looked down. Geet only sighed and she looked at her daughter stop and she smiled a little. " Baarbiiee mamaa" said Pari.
Geet walked upto him and he had his head down. She put Pari down and said, " Toy?"
Sameer brought his hands out and gave Pari her barbie doll. " Behave you two" said Geet as she smiled a little. Pari only laughed and she said. " Mama.. papa.. papa.. kahaan hain?"
" Papa yahaan hain princess" said Maan as he stepped out of a room. Pari threw her toy down and she ran towards Maan and he scooped her up into his arms. Pari hugged him, " I miss you papa"
" I miss you too princess.." said Maan as he kissed her on the cheek. Sameer continued to look at the floor and then Geet lifted his chin and she smiled, " Sorry baby... its not nice to take away things that aren't yours... and you know mama loves you..."
Sameer nodded and she said, " Hey spiderman..."
Sameer broke into a smile and she smiled, " We'll have pancakes tomorrow... just for you"
Sameer broke into an even larger smile and he jumped up, " REALLY MAMA?"
" Yeah baby..." smiled Geet. Sameer hugged his mother and he said, " Cartoon mama?"
" Magic words?" said Geet. " Please... can I watch my cartoon mama?" smiled Sameer. " Thats my boy.. go.. jaa.. tera spiderman tujhe bula raha hai" said Geet. Sameer broke out of the hug and he turned around and he was about to run the other way until he bumped into Maan's leg.
He looked up at his father and mischeviously smiled, " Sorry... Papa..."
" Hey badmash.. apni mama ko tang kar rahe the?" smiled Maan. " No..." said Sameer as he looked the other way and smiled the same way as Maan. Maan quickly put Pari on his one arm and he scooped up Sameer...
" Hey champs... lets leave these girls and go watch our cartoons" said Maan. " Yeah.. girls like barbies... grooosss." said Sameer.
Maan put Pari down and she put her hands on her hips, " Papa.."
Geet went over to her daughter and scooped her up, " Lets go play house Pari...boys are boooring... "
Pari giggled, " Lets gooo... boyss are booring.. booo.. boo boys"
Maan and Geet laughed and they went off ...
That night, Geet and Maan put their children to sleep and Maan only smiled at her mischeviously, and Geet said, " Now I know where my son gets his mischevious smile"
" Of course Lady Handa..." winked Maan. They got up from the two chairs at the side of Pari and Sameers beds...
Geet blew a kiss to her children and Maan held her hand, " I love you" " I love you too Mr. Khurana" smiled Geet.
They walked out, leaving the door closed... Maan picked Geet up and he said, " See... you are still thin Lady Handa... you have a feather like weight"
" So to say... all that running around in the hospital and working out really did the job" winked Geet. " Another One?" winked Maan. "Maan! behave..." teased Geet. " Oh really? so I'm a kid now?"
" Yeah... my baby..." smiled Geet. Maan entered their room and he closed the door softly behind him.
" Geet... I haven't heard you sing for the longest time..." said Maan as he set her on the bed softly... " What song shall I sing Mr. Khurana" said Geet. " The one I love..." said Maan...
Geet understood.
She sang softly, " Suna Suna... Lamha Lamha... meri rahein... Tanha Tanha.. aakar mujhe tum thaam lo... maanzil teri... dekhe rasta... mur ke zara... aap dekhlo... aisa milan.. phir ho na... sab kuch meraa.. tum hi to hoo...bepanaah pyar hai aajaa... tera intezaar hain aajaa... hoo... bepanaah pyar hai aaja... tera intezaar hain aaja"
Maan captured her lips with his and he kissed her senselessly, and she laid down and pulled him towards her... and he kissed her lips.. check.. throat... ears... and collarbone...
"Aisa milaan... phir ho na ho... sab kuch mera.. tum hi to ho..." sang Geet softly as he kissed her neck again softly...
And that night, they truly made their lives which were suna... full of love... laughter and smiles... With their angels Sameer and Pari. ...
I hope you liked it!😊
