Epilogue
5 years later:
That day Milind arrived from the work very early as they have to go for Rithwick's birthday party. He was going upstairs to his room. He suddenly stumbles on the heavy album kept on the centre table. He picks it up and goes through it. It contained all the pictures from their childhood to the present day. He thought that his father had maintained that album. Five years passed in matter of a wink and could see everything had changed in last five years. He still could not belive that. But the pictures in that said a lot. But his memories were still fresh, of what had happened a years before. The first meeting with her, the first word he talked with her, the first time he saw her crying and the first time a greed of a brother who tried to kill her for the money, was all still fresh in his memories. How ever he could forget all this, he thought ,he didn't even believe that he would spend his rest of his life with a girl who were never destined to meet, even they were in the same place but met her, loved her and wanted her as a life partner. A small curve of smile crept on his lips. He places it and takes a photo that was near it. It was his and his wife Prachi's, taken during the wedding time. Five years passed but their love for each grew day by day. Even though they had problems, but solved it together. Neither of them could take each others failures. Prachi had successfully completed her MBA along with Sukruthi and Milind had helped her lot to go through this. He takes a deep breath and he places it on the table. He was about to leave but something prevented him going, he looks back and takes the hook of his bracelet which got sruck in the cushion cover, when he was placing the frame on the table. It was his favourite one sworn never to take it way from his hand. It was the half heart pendant , he made the chain into a bracelet so he could wear it around his hand. He touches the pendant, and thinks that his other half of his heart would be waiting for him in their room. He quickly moves to the room. But he stops in the entrance. He could see Prachi, talking to his three old son, Aashu. His son was his own resemblance. He still stood there still, thinking about the time when Prachi's first pregnancy was declared. It was when Prachi was about to give her final semester exams exactly middle of their second year of their marriage. That day he saw her sitting all alone in the room and crying. Milind could bear anything but could bear a second if he finds Prachi crying. He goes to her and hugs her thightly, her sobs were becoming more frequent. "sorry Milind, I can't fulfill baba's wish of completing MBA", he could hear her in the middle of the sobs. "now tell me what happened", he consoled her caressing her hair while still hugging. "nothing, I can't take much pressure now, I can't loose your son, while I sit through this exams", "hey, who told you to take pressure, until I am there they is no need of worrying of this matter. Now at present you need rest." He made her to lay on the bed, and for minutes later she slipped into deep sleep. After that Milind had laid awake all night preparing notes till her exams were over, in such a way she could prepare for her exams without taking any pressure and could get lots of rest she needed that time. He was there with her every single minute seeing that she does not loose hope on what ever she was doing. He comes back from his past memories hearing Prachi's voice. "what makes your father, to turn up late when we have to go out", Milind could clearly sense that she was indirectly scolding him, by talking to Ashu like that. "didn't he know that I'm carrying your sister, he doesn't care for me." She pauses a while stares at him and then continues, "why are you gazing me like that? You acquired everything from your father." He finds her smiling at their son, from the mirror, he was constantly looking at the mirror, seeing the constant changes of Prachi's expressions and enjoying each everything of it. She pushes Ashu's hair, and kisses him on his forehead, "go and play, don't spoil your dress ok", she winks at him and leaves him. He heads towards Milind and Milind takes him in his arms. "where are you going", he asks Ashu scanning the whole room. He finds Prachi sitting on the edge of the bed, moodily. "khel ne jaa raha hoon", he frees himself and was about to run from there. But Milind holds him back and kisses on his forhead where Prachi had kissed him previously and leaves him.
He then approaches and sits from the other side of the bed and pulls Prachi towards him closely and cuddling her. "what happened that MY PRACHI is so angry with me," he pulls more closer towards him. "Milind leave me, I don't want to talk to you", "sorry Prachi, see I came early today but I accidentally fell upon the old album full of our memories, so I was seeing that album", he looks at Prachi's face, she was gazing at him with a smile on her face. He takes a deep breath and continues, "Prachi, tell me one thing, if you get angry on me why do you indirectly scold me talking to my son like that, hmmmmmmmm, don't talk to him like that I'll get angry if not." He starts gazes at her, Prachi turns her face away from him, tries to frees herself, but she gives up, "Milind don't gaze at me like that, plz", she pushes his face away from hers with her hand, but he turns his face again towards her. "that's why Milind I could never scold you if you look at me like that , words get stuck up Milind, whenver you gaze me like that, that's my weakness Milind, your son also started gazing like you. He has same piercing eyes that you have got." "he's my son, so he possess his father's na", Milind places a kiss on her neck, his hand slowly touches her stomach, and starts caressing it. "Prachi……………." "hmmmmmmmmmmmm", "Prachi, how is our daughter doing there in your stomach, is she fine." Prachi looks up at Milind bit surprisingly, "Milind………", she rests her head on his chest and continues, "Milind how could be so sure that it will be a girl this time." "I heard to telling to Ashu, that his sister is in there", he says pointing at her stomach. "Milind, it's just a slip of my tongue." "so it be Prachi, and a girl makes our family complete." He just moves more close to her, and places a passionate kiss on her lips, and was about to give another kiss, they both hear the noises from the living room. Both breaks from the kiss, Milind runs his fingers in his hair. "this Sukruthi, kabab mein haddi, can't she come after sometime." Prachi laughs at him, freeing herself from his clutches, but he pulls her back and places a kiss on her forehead and frees his hands from her. "go get dressed Milind we'll leave together.", she tries to run down but Milind catches her hand, "don't run that fast, my daughter gets hurt inside." Prachi, walks slowly, "that's like my sweetheart." He says loudly, prachi, just turns her head towards him and gives a sweet smile to him and leaves the room.
After some time Milind comes down, he sees Sukruthi, her husband Saket and his father sitting and talking and two kids playing around the house making noise. He scanned for Prachi but could not be seen there. He just smiles and goes near them. Sukruthi and Saket's marriage was love marriage. They both fell in love with other when Sukruthi was doing her MBA. Seeing that Saket's family background Milind had approved of their marriage. milind could now also could not understand how Saket loved that chatter box. He could see that only Sukruthi was talking nonstop while Saket had buried his head in his hands and his father was attentively his daughter. Seeing Prachi, coming from the kitchen, Sukruthi runs towards and takes the tray she was holding. Prachi and Sukruthi's friendship never changed even after Prachi's marriage with Milind her best friend's brother. Even though they had a relation between them that they should respect, they remained as the best friends in these years. They didn't stop sharing their personal things, even they both are married. They either on the phone for long hours or infront the system chatting online, gossiping about their personal lives. Prachi sat beside Milind after handing overing the tray to Sukruthi. Saket took out his hands from the face. "how are you doing, bhabhi" asked Saket, while taking the tea cup from Sukruthi. Only Saket in the whole house addresses Prachi as bhabhi, but Sukruthi never addressed her. Though they respect the relation, they call each other by their names and no one in the house had objected or forced them in doing so. After a few minutes, everyone left for Shah Mansion.
They all enterd Shah Mansion, they saw that everyone were waiting them to come. They were not many guests other Rithwick's friends. It was a simply get together party on Rithwick's birthday, so that everyone can meet there and Karan liked that. They had this get togethers and family picnics once in while and enjoyed the very moment of it. The party went on well, with lot of games for the kids. After Rithwick's friends left, Ayesha took the responsibility of feeding the kids. Ayesha, liked kids very much. She used to spend a lot of time with her kids and others during these get togethers. Karan could ever believe that his sister was so fond of kids as she was a totally, carrier oriented women. But after her daughter, Riya was born, she completely gave time for child. This change in her totally shocked everyone in the family. Milind and Prachi, went into the garden for a stroll in the garden. This became their routine work in their life, so that they could spend atleast few minutes of their time with each other. This also went when Milind was in very busy in his schedule. Prachi's FD money was given as donations to the various orphanages in the different parts of the city. It was Prachi's own decision to donate, though everyone objected to do so saying that money was for her security. She just brushed of saying that until Milind was there for her, she needed no other security. After a heated arguments and rejections, everyone gave up finally accepted her descision. Prachi actually wanted transfer her FD to Milind's name, but Milind rejected it and then Prachi thought of donating the amount to the different orphanages. Milind secretly opened FD in Prachi's name, putting one crore in her FD. Though he thought that the amount he kept was lesser than previous one, he was happy that Prachi's life would secure with the interest that would be added to the amount.
Milind and Prachi had just entered the house and was shocked. They saw Sukruthi pulling Ayesha away and Karan was trying to pull Neev. They came inside and sat beside PL, who kept her hand on her foehead with a bent head. "don't have any sense", PL scolded both Neev and Ayesha, "why are you'll behaving like kids, don't you know that you are the parents of two kids. You'll never change." "ma, ok leave it you know both of them, I tried to change but I thought it is impossible for me to change. But one thing ma, their kids are very sweet, unlike them." Milind tried to console PL. "who told you, that their kids are not like them, Milind", karan sat beside him and patted Milind's back. "see, this Riya is completely like her mother, adamant girl and this Suraj, completely like his father, provoking quarrels. You only this part, actually it was the kids who started the quarrel, and their parents ended it, but it became some what serious, you know them." After Karan finished them everyone present there broke into laughter. After that veryone had a hearty meal, and chatted for sometime and left the place, very lately. Karan, after bidding everyone farewell he entered the house. He saw that everyone went into their. He could see Nandini still in the dining hall, ordering the servants to clean up the place. He goes to the main living room, where Inder's photo was hung on the wall, he lits some incense sticks and places it in the stand. "sorry dad, it's late today." He takes deep breathe and continue. "as you know it was Rithwick's birthday today", he pauses for a while, "everyone came today, it was like the whole family was under a one roof after a long time. Dad I think you are happy were ever you are. You know dad I think I fulfilled your duties as your son, dad. Everyone are well settled in their lives. I'm happy to see them well settled, you know one thing I never seen everyone so happy as today. But one thing everyone of us miss you a lot, dad, especially your princess dad. She misses you a lot. You always say na dad jho bhi 'kismet' mein likha wohi hota hai, yes dad you were right."
He opens the self and removes a book from there, on the cover 'kismet' is written with the gold bold letters. "this book, I wrote it and you were my stenght and encouragement for this dad. This is not the story of any other person, but the story of your children, yes dad story of Inder Shah's children", he proudly faces his dad's photo. "I never thought that in my life I would a wife like Nandini", he pauses looks at her and continues, "dad she shared my duties and all, moreover, she kept everyone under one roof with her love and affection. She was never the daughter in law of this house but a daughter of this house just like Ayesha and Prachi. Ha dad forgot to tell you about Ayesha. I couldn't ever understand that Ayesha ever grew up. Sometimes she acts like child sometimes like a matured person. No one ever could understand her. But only one person understood her deeply. That is Neev. They fight soo much, so much that everyone will be shocked that how come each other fall in love. But they express their love through this fighting I think so. Though they fight with each other, I never saw them getting away from each other, dad. That's what I am happy. Be it so." Suddenly his face becomes dulle, "Alaap", he mutters slowly.. "dad, forgive for this, I could not ever change him. I think it was written like that." He takes a deep breathe, and again is face becomes bright with a smile on his face. "Prachi, how can she be not happy dad with Milind. After all it was your choice. How can it be wrong. Another good news to you dad, Prachi is pregnant with her second child. Dad time has passed so fast. I could not believe that Prachi had grown so fast. But for me she is still a 5yrs kid, where she becomes moody the day we all leave for the boarding. At last day, mom dad she misses you the most dad. Even if everyone are around her, she still thinks of you. I would always think dad, that the day when you met with an accident would never ever happened, you would be still be with us dad, enjoying the happiness we possessed. Thanks dad for whatever you have given us." He wipes of his tears and takes a deep breathe. He turns around and finds Nandini standing at some distance from, he gives her the smile and both go to their room, to take the day off and to prepare themselves for the next daily routine.
