Epilogue
[Maan's POV]
Past few months have been the most taxing for our family ... But now crossing all the troubled waters finally peace has prevailed!
It is our 1st Anniversary today! Our family had organized a grand surprise party for us ... we had a great time but suddenly Geet disappeared and then messaged me to meet her in the room adjacent to our bedroom. Heading towards the room I couldn't help but remember ...
The next morning when I had gained consciousness after Vikram's attack I was in the hospital, my whole body ached. I tried to get up to sit in a comfortable position when I felt some weight on me. I slightly turned saw Geet sleeping besides me resting her head on my arm, she was in hospital gown and seemed in deep sleep ... tendrils of her locks covering her beautiful face. Taking a closer look at her I realized all her wounds were dressed and she had a sling on her left shoulder to support her wounded arm.
Gently I moved her silky hair off her face settling them behind her ear but my slight touch woke her up. She jerked out of her sleep and sat up at once and started blabbering.
"Maan aap jag gaye ... aap ko dard ho raha hain ... main Dr ko bulaun ..."
"Meeshti ... " I called out to her calmly.
But she was till lost in her own world. Not bothered about her wounds she was getting hysterical for me ... My Jhalli Meeshti!!
Cupping her face and I made her face me putting an end to her nervousness.
"Meeshti ... main bilkul theek hoon! .. Tumhe pareshan hone ki koi zaroorat nahi hain ... aur waise bhi tumhara Maan itna kamzor nahi ke koi bhi aera gaera usse chot (wound) pohucha sake!" I stated in attitude.
"Haan ... haan ... kyun nahi aap toh Bollywood ke superstar hain jo akele hi jaa kar villian ka bharta bana denge ... hain na!" She bit out.
"Bharta ... ?" I tried to distract my sherni making a weird face.
"Topic mat change kijiye ... Kya zarurat thi wahan akele style maarne jaane ki ... yeh jaante hue bhi ke woh aadmi paagal hain?" She again started and I needed to stop her.
So some more drama for my drama queen will help ... I guess!
"Bas ... ab bas bhi karo meri Hoshiarpur Express! ... Pati yahan bimaar hain aur tum usse daant rahi ho Meeshti!" I complained keeping a serious expression and it did work!
"Maan ... aisa nahi hain ... main toh bas ..." She fumbled feeling bad for her outburst but then halted and questioned.
"Ek minute ... aap ne abhi kya kahan?
"Yahin ke tum apne bimaar pati ko daant rahi ho!" I played along.
"MAAN..." She whinned.
"Aw! ... Meri Hoshiarpur Express tum jab mujhe aise MAAN... keh kar bulati ho na Meeshti ... tab mere dil mein kuch kuch hota hain!" I earnestly asserted
"Maan ... aap ko yeh sab ... yaad..." She tried to frame her words.
"Mujhe sab yaad aa gaya hain Geet! ... Kal uss jungle mein aur phir Vikram se ladte ladte ... purane saare pal jaise mere saamne zinda ho gaye the!"
"Hamaari pehli mulaakat se lekar meri kidnapping tak ka ... saara safar maine unn kuch palon mein tay (cover) kiya!" I confessed.
"Maan aap ko sab kuch yaad aa gaya! " She exclaimed as tears brimmed in her eyes.
"Geet tum ro rahi ho! ... kyun ki mujhe sab kuch yaad aa gaya?" I teased her keeping a straight face.
"MAAN... Yeh khushi ke aansoon hain!" She muttered honestly.
"Oh!" I pretended as she hugged me with her one hand.
"Geet tum yahan kaise aayi ... tumhe bhi chot lagi thi na?" I queried still holding her close to me.
Before she could answer the Dr entered the room greeting us.
"Good morning Mr & Mrs Khurana ... How are you both feeling now?"
The Dr checked on us and then disclosed how last night Geet was adamant to be on my side and finally the Dr had to give in. I looked at her in disapproval but she ignored and looked away like hinting me.
'Don't even try!' And I gave not wanting face another round of firing from my sherni!
We were discharged soon as we had suffered few minor injuries, nothing to worry about but all the women in our house thought otherwise and practically house arrested me for one whole week!
Finally I reached the room turning the knob I entered in to see a a huge gift wrapped in a designer material in the middle of the room. I looked around but Geet wasn't here, slowly I walked ahead and pulled the cloth aside to see the object and was surprised to see a decorated cradle with a baby doll sleeping in it!
I squatted beside the cradle and caressed it lovingly! ... It was our dream! ... It was meant for our baby! ... A rush of mixed emotions passed threw me seeing this cradle here!
And then Geet called out to me.
[Geet's POV]
I had called Maan in the room and hid behind the wall. He entered the room and looked around for me then spotting my gift he moved towards it. Opening the wrap he sat besides the cradle and caressed it lovingly. I could clearly see the change in his expressions through the mirror opposite him. Not able to hold on my emotion anymore I called out to him.
"Maan..."
He at once stood up and smiled at me and I just hugged him tight wanting to share that happiness which we had always dreamt of!
Still hugging him I told him.
"Maan jo sapna humne dekha tha uski shuruaat ho gayi hain ... Hamaari zindagi mein ek nanhi pyaari si khushi aanewali hain ... Jo aap ko Papa aur mujhe Mumma keh ke pukaaregi!"
He at once broke the hug and cupping my face queried in astonishment wether he heard it right that an angel was going to enter our life!
"Geet ... bina bole hum ek dusre ke dil ki baat samajhne lage hain! ... Mere mann ne jo khwaab dekha tha ... aaj tumne usse poora kar diya hain!"
"Aap hi kehte hain na ke hum do jism ek jaan hain na!" I repeated his words.
"Haan Geet ... aur ab mujhe zindagi se kuch nahi chahiye! ... Kyunki tumne meri zindagi mein aa kar ... mujhe ... meri zindagi ko ... hamaari iss ghar ko khushiyon se bhar diya hain!"
"Yakeen hi nahi hota Maan ke jis ajnabi se meri pehli mulaakat ek jhagde se hui thi ... main uski shakal tak nahi dekhna chahti thi ... Aaj uss ajnabi ki zindagi ki parchaayi (shadow) ban gayi hoon!"
" ... Kab woh jaan se jaaneja (beloved) ban gaya ... kab main uske wajood (existence) ka hissa (part) ban gayi ... Kab main usme sama (merge) gayi ... Pata hi nahi chala ... Dheere dheere do dil ek jaan ban gaye ... Khatte meethe pal dheere dheere do dilon ko ek jaan bana gaye ... Aur khushiyaan hi khushiyaan ho gayi!" I voiced out.
"Geet main toh zindagi se bahot door tha ... rishton se bhaagta rehta ... veeranon (wilderness) mein akela bhatakta ...lekin tumne meri berang aur veeran (colourless n waste) zindagi mein aa kar sab kuch badal diya ... mujhe ...Maan Singh Khurana ko badal diya ... jise log patthar kehte the ... uske mare hue dil ko tumne zinda kiya ... Meri zindagi ka rukh (direction) hi badal diya!" He emotionally confessed.
"Tum akeli ladti rahi apne haalaton (circumstances) se ... apne logon se ... mere gusse se ... aur phir meri bhuli hui yaadon se ... Tumne kabhi himmat nahi haari!" He praised my strength.
"Jiska devta uske saamne basta (stays) ho woh himmat kaise haar sakta hain!" I affirmed.
"Geet zindagi ne hamaara bahot imtihaan (test) liya lekin ab hume koi alag nahi kar sakta ... Maan aur Geet toh ek hi taveez ke do manke (beads) hain... "
"Aur uss taveez ki gaanth (knot) mere Babaji ne bandhi hain! ... Maan ab hum ek nayi shuruaat karenge ... naye sapnon ke saath ... nayi khushiyon ke saath!"
Hugging each other we looked at the cradle with adoration ... Our dream was going to realize soon!
[Maan's POV]
It was the most happiest moment of our life!
The whole family was overjoyed as we disclosed to them the happy news of Geet's pregnancy! The list of dos and don't started the very next moment. Dadimaa and Mummiji sat down and jotted down all the necessary precautions to be taken while the younger lot was rejoicing and busy discussing what the baby will address them as ... how they will play with the baby etc.
This was a perfect opportunity so Dadimaa made the most of it and persuaded Dev to shift back to Delhi and join Khurana Constructions. Dev finally agreed for our family's sake but I knew he wanted to carry on working with his help centers. So I suggested to merge these Help Centre's with Khurana Charitable Foundations thereby opening up a wider approach for the troubled people and victims of many other atrocities. This way Dev could operate from Delhi and he can visit other branches and the interiors when the need arises.
Mummyji who was already playing an active role helping out harassed and troubled women of domestic violence, widows, dowry etc also agreed to this idea, Nandini who was also someway a victim of a fraudulent marriage volunteered to join in wanting to help out other innocent people.
This idea worked out well and Dev could simultaneously carry out both his responsibilities while I would somehow manage between our flourishing business and my demanding preggy wife!
Life was now just like a dream ... everything was sorted out ... Family had settled down ... Geet and I had re-discovered our love for each other in the past few months re living each moment of our journey together from being strangers to lovers ... to enjoying marital bliss ... and then seperartion due to circumstances and now we were all set to reach the next milestone and begin a new journey as proud parents!
These amazing months of Geet's pregnancy had been so eventful! Her mood swings, her cravings, her passion, her emotional outburst all has helped us a lot to strengthen our relation! I have become more patient dealing with her weird behaviors all these months while her beautiful transition from womanhood to motherhood has given a new dimension to her inner persona!
Spending each moment ... experiencing each change ... feeling each emotion together has bonded us to our baby! This divine bond has connected our souls together!
Geet was wheeled in the operation theater while I was pacing along the corridor. So many emotions rushing within me from anxiety, nervousness, happiness, joy ... I just couldn't voice out what I felt at this moment! Finally after hours of waiting the Dr came out and congratulated us on the arrival of new entrants in our family.
'Yes Babaji had blessed us with twins!'
I still remember the day when we came for Geet's first ultrasound and Dr informed us about Geet carrying twins ... We were shocked, surprised, happy, anxious yet overwhelmed with the feeling of having two babies!!
That night Geet had jerked out of her sleep and confided in me that she had a dream where our baby whom we had lost few months back had come back to her.
"Maan hamaara baby hamaare paas wapas aa raha hain ... woh baby jisne kabhi hume joda tha aur ... yeh baby jo hamaare milan ki nishaani hain ... woh dono hamaari zindagi mein aa rahe hain!"
Geet was right indeed our baby had come back to us!
"Babaji ne hume hamaari saari khushiyaan de di hain! ... Kaali raat ke baad ek naya savera ho gaya hain! ... Hamaari duniya poori ho gayi hain!"
The Drs announcement about Geet and our babies being safe just calmed my restless soul! ... As the feeling of being father sinked in it felt like I'm in 7th heaven!
Everybody congratulated me but my heart lied in that room where all the angels of my life were resting. Finally I was allowed in and I ran to the room only to be braced by the divine sight of Geet holding both my babies in her arms with the help of a nurse. Seeing me the nurse left the room while I settled besides Geet kissing her forehead I sat there gazing at the miracles the laid in Geet's arms.
Geet prompted me to hold them but I was apprehensive and scared! What if I hurt my angels but Geet just placed our babies in my arms and at once I held them like they were the most delicate and precious gift of my life! I bent forward and placed a kiss on both their foreheads and they curled in more into their blanket on my touch.
Our babies! ... A baby boy and a baby girl! ... Our complete family!
Both our eyes were moist with joy! ... The sight of our darlings ... a part of us in our arms had stirred something deep in our soul!
A smile adorned my lips while a tear slipped off my eyes!
"Maan yeh hamaari pyaar ki nishaani hain ...yeh hamaare pyaar ... hamaare pyaar ki kahaani ko zinda rakhega!"
"Geet main toh pyaar ke baare mein kuch nahi jaanta tha ... Khushi naam ke labz se main kitna anjaan tha ... mujhe kya pata tha ke meri kismat ek din mujhe ek Pari ko mila dengi jo meri aatma ko khushiyon se tript kar degi!"
" Geet tumne jo yeh khushi mujhe di hain wo mujhse sambhale nahi sambhal rahi hain ...ab tak khwaab dekhta raha ke sirf hum dono ho ... hum dono ki dhadkane ho ... koi bhi awaaz na ho ... par Geet ab main sirf yeh chata hoon ki hamaari dhadkano ke saath yeh nanhi kilkaariyon ki awaaz bhi ho ... hain na Geet!"
"Haan Maan ...hamaara ghar ... hamaara aangan ... hamaari zindagi uss mein bas khushiyaan hi khushiyaan hogi! ... Hamaara pyaar ... hamaara rishta hamesha kayam rahega!"
"Haan Geet ... ek misaal ban kar ... ke mohabbat ho toh sirf Maan-Geet jaisi ...aur jab tak mohabbat karnewale rahenge tab tak Maan-Geet ki dastaan har zubaan pe rahegi!"
"Aur hamaara pyaar hamaari ibaadat hain ... hamaari puja hain ...aur issliye hum apni pyaar ki nishaani ko waisa hi naam denge Geet! ... Yeh hamaara SHLOK (holy verse)!
"Aur hamaari STUTI (hymn or prayer)!
SHLOK SINGH KHURANA and STUTI SINGH KHURANA!
It is so rightly said that 'Life is a journey!'
Our life has been a truly a journey with lots of twists and turns ... ups and downs ... love and hate ... trust and misunderstandings ... union and separation ... moments and memories ...And my memory loss!!
Each step of this journey called life was an experience which breathed in so many emotions! Each aspect and incident on this path was a milestone!
My memory loss was Milestone in our journey!
Journey of our togetherness ...We were so close yet so far ... This phase helped us to introspect our love and relation ... The testing times challenging our determination and trust! ... Our journey from strangers to soulmates yet again!
