Part 4:
Kesar slowly opened the ward door where Gulaal was lying and he smiled when he saw his angel on the bed. the doctor had told him that she wasn't awake but he said she doesn't need her to be. He slowly walked across the room and sat down on the bed. he took her hand and kissed it and said thank you meri jaan mujhe do aur jaanon ko de ne ke liye. Then he saw the cot on the other side. He slowly moved and saw the cutest babies in the world lying inside it. tears flowed down from his eyes. He couldn't believe that he was the father of such young darlings.
He put his hand in the cot and slowly brushed the cheeks of the two babies. They were beautiful and simple and they represent his and Gulaal's life perfectly. He saw them move and then the tiny hand wrapped around one of his fingers and again tears rushed in his eyes. He had never experienced such strong love and emotion before. He loved it. He thought about how his and Gulaal's life had changed forever from today and that they had a family and not just themselves.
Gulaal was opening her eyes to the new world before her. She looked around the room and saw Kesar sitting next to the baby. She smiled seeing him cry. She knew he was enjoying the moment. She had been asleep after all the pain she had gone through. She slowly called Kesar. He turned with an immediate jerk and looked at her. He stood up and came next to her with his mischievous smile.
Gulaal tum kaisi ho, he asked. "main teek ho Kesar par hamari bachi kaisi hai" he smiled and said that woh teek hai" he knew she disn't know about the twins and he was eager to tell her but he loved to keep her waiting so he kept quiet until she asked herself. "toh beti ya beta" she said again with a wonderful smile. "he said beta, because he knew she had wanted a boy and he could see her eyes light up and then she saw him and she replied, "sorry Kesar mene tumhari liye beti nahi de payi" he laughed and said tum ye kya bol rahi ho mujhe toh beti bhi mil gayi hai.
Gulaal was growing more and more confused and then she questioned whether he was referring to Dulli but he shook his head and said nahi. He loved seeing the frowns form on her face when she was concentrating hard and he traced the frowns and kissed her forehead and said, "Gulaal tum ne aik nahi bal ki do bachon ko janam diya hai" he could see her happiness.
She was so exited and she tried to peak in the cot but it wasn't possible it was a bit too far.
She asked Kesar to bring it closer and he did as he was told. She smiled when she saw the peaceful babies. Kesar slowly lifted the girl out of the cot and gave it to Gulaal and then he went to bring his boy. The girl was simple and peaceful just like Gulaal had been. He smiled when he saw that at such a small age itself he could see another badmassh like him in his son. When he tried to lift him out he gripped on firmly to the cloth and then "chsss" and before long Kesar was wet and the room filled with laughter. Yeh tu ne kya kar di ya papa ke shirt par" Gulaal couldn't control her laughter her son had on the first day itself peed on his father. Kesar was laughing too and knew that being a parent was not easy at all.
He slowly bought the baby round finally. They both adored each other and their kids when the rest of the family came in. They all congratulated the pair and looked at the two children. CC was on the moon too she was looking at the children in delight. Everyone was happy and then Paanba noticed that Kesar 's shirt was wet and asked the reason for being so. He turned and looked at Gulaal and they both started laughing.
The family was confused and then Gulaal said yeh toh mera badmaash beta ka nishaani hai. The whole family understood and the room erupted into laughter.
It had been some hours since Gulaal had given birth to cutest babies ever. Kesar had been supportive and helped her a lot when she needed anything. The family had left home and they would be back tomorrow when Gulaal would get discharged. The doctor wanted to make sure that Gulaalwas in perfect health before she left and Kesar had no objections to that. So he stayed over the night with her. The babies kept popping in and out of the room after having some check up's of their own and now they were fast asleep in the cot. Gulaal had fed them and rocked them to sleep.
They were alone and it was becoming night time so one by one the lights in the wards were turning off. Kesar turned off the one in their room and they sat staring at each other for a while. He had fed Gulaal dinner that Paanba had made and delivered and had eaten himself and now they were adoring each other. They had nothing to speak. Suddenly, Gulaal laughed and Kesar questioned her and she said that she just remembered how her badmassh beta had made a stain on him. He rubbed the patch on his shirt and laughed too saying that well it was Kesar's son after all.
It was morning and Kesar found himself lying on the sofa where he had slept off last night after Gulaal had dozed. He woke up to see the nurse and doctor checking up on Gulaal and telling her that she was perfectly alright to go home. Kesar was happy that now they would return home and thought back to the surprise that he and Dushyant had put together for Gulaal. He couldn't wait to see her reply.
After the doctor left he went to Gulaal's side and asked her how she was feeling when the babies started crying. Kesar knew they were hungry and he lifted both of them slowly and placed them next to Gulaal on her bed and left the room closing the door behind him. He phoned his family and told them that they would be arriving home in a hour and he went to get some food for himself and Kesar in the hospital canteen.
Paanba called to Sudha to bring the taali. Kesar and Gulaal each carried their baby and were standing at the doorway. They were welcomed and embraced too. Gulaal had dressed in a pink shaded shalwar kameez and Kesar was wearing his usual shirt and jacket. The babies were dressed very similar just to back up the fact that they were twins. Everyone was there and Paanba kissed both children. Motaba and Revji were sharing hugs. Smiles spread on every face. Talli hugged the children and Gulaal too.
Kesar had somehow diverted the family and bought Gulaal and the children upstairs. Gulaal was shocked and surprised at the same when she saw her room. The room was now completely different, everthing was half pink and half blue. There were two cots too. The cupboard was half half and each side had each coloured clothing arranged. She liked it alot and she thanked Kesar but Kesar said itna kuch aur bas ek thank you. Gulaal knew his signal tum bhi na Kesar she said. She went and put her baby in the cot and Kesar did the same. Then he put his hand around Gulaal and said humari zindagi ab puri tarah se poori ho chuki hai.
