Epilogue- 10 years later

"Mannu, why did you do this? Do I ever tear your storybooks? Mom, ask this girl not to touch my things. I had bought this book with my prize money and she tore it" Rashmi had howled as she saw the first page of her new book-Chicken soup for the teenage soul- torn.

Mansi (Mannu) was born after 4 years of Milind and Prachi's marriage. Seeing a new book on Rashmi's study table, 6 year old Mansi had opened it in a hurry tearing the first page. As she wondered how to fix the damage, Rashmi had entered the room and was totally in tears to see her new book torn. Rashmi had won Rs.1000 as prize money from an interschool debate competition and Prachi had taken her to the Sapna book house and bought books with that money.

"I didn't do it intentionally Mom. I was just looking at it and it got torn" Mansi had tried to defend herself.

"What's the matter girls? Mom is busy in the kitchen" Prachi had shouted from the kitchen as she prepared dhoklas that Sunday evening.

Rashmi took the book from Mansi's hands and ran into the kitchen. "Mom, look at it. See what happened to the book we got this morning. Mannu tore it. Why does she have to touch my stuff? Ask her never go near my things. The other day, she stained my white skirt too"

"Mom, I didn't tear it. And I didn't stain your skirt either. Monty was chasing me as I refused to give him my colour palette. Who asked you to stand in my way when I was running?" Mansi had explained herself for what had happened three days ago when the neighbour's kid Monty had chased her in the garden.

Before Rashmi said anything more as an answer to her baby sister's explanation, Prachi had finished seasoning dhoklas. Keeping them aside, she took her two girls out of the kitchen and made them sit on the sofa in the living room.

"Mannu, you shouldn't tear your sister's books. You shouldn't tear any book. Now say sorry to your sister" Prachi asked her younger daughter to say sorry.

Mansi turned her face and didn't speak a word.

"Rashshu, she is your baby sister right? She is 6 years younger than you. She doesn't understand things as much as you do darling. Please forgive her this time. She won't do it again" Prachi tried to convince her elder daughter now.

"I know Mom. I always have to say sorry. She is always this little innocent baby" Rashmi had said mockingly.

"Why do I have to say sorry? I am not saying sorry" Mansi had ran out of the house into the garden and sat on the swing. Prachi had followed her to bring her back.

"Prachi, get me some water dear" Milind had then came back from finishing his tennis game with Ali.

"I will get you water. Mom is in the garden with her baby daughter" Rashmi said wiping her tears.

Milind was shocked to see Rashmi crying sitting on the sofa in the living room. "Rashshu, why are you crying darling? Tell your Paapa what's the matter?" Rashmi had narrated what had happened with her book to her father.

"Rasshu, wait a minute. I will set it right" Milind had got some special glue he had from his study table drawer. He masterfully stuck the torn parts of the book with the glue making it look almost not torn.

"Paapa, one can still see it was torn. This was the book bought with my prize money" Rashmi still had tears in her eyes.

Milind had wiped the tears off of her eyes and said "My darling daughter, please don't cry. It breaks your father's heart to see you crying. Let's go and buy the same book again. And I will also buy you a book shelf with doors. You can lock it so that your mischievous litter sister can't reach them".

"It's ok Paapa. You don't need to buy me a new book. It's just one page that's torn" Rashmi said as her tears stopped filling her eyes.

"No baby. This is your hard earned prize. Do you know how proud I was that it was my daughter who won among 100s of students? If it were to be some other book, I wouldn't have said it", said Milind.

"No, Paapa. You only say that one shouldn't waste money. I am fine with this book. And after the glue has dried you hardly see any damage" Rashmi held the repaired page into sunlight to show her father it was fine.

"OK, but get ready I want to take you somewhere" said Milind.

Rashmi got some water for Milind and changed into a jeans and T shirt. Milind too changed his clothes and got ready. As Rashmi and Milind were about to leave, Prachi came back from the garden after cheering up Mansi and leaving her in the garden to play with other kids.

"Prachi we will be back in a bit" Milind told Prachi taking his car keys.

"Where are you guys going? I have cooked dhoklas. Eat them and go" Prachi had tried to stop them but Milind and Rashmi left saying bye to her. Angry with her husband and daughter for walking out on her dhoklas Prachi sat watching TV.

Milind took Rashmi to a book house nearby and bought her a couple of "Archie comics" that she had recently fallen in love with. Rashmi was jumping with joy that her father gifted her with the comics she loved more than anything in her adolescent age. Milind also took her to an ice cream parlour where the father and daughter sat enjoying strawberry ice cream.

"You still love strawberry ice cream. All we needed to please you when you were a child was strawberries. But I still haven't figured out how to please your little sister" Milind had remembered Rashmi's childhood and compared it with Mansi's. Mansi was more stubborn compared to Rashmi.

"Paapa, don't you know? She has a weakness for Barbie doll accessories. Whenever I have to get something done from her, I give her my old Barbie accessories" Rashmi had proudly said that she knew her sister's weakness.

"Oh really?" Milind had wondered why Barbie dolls have accessories too.

Rashmi then seemed to be lost in some thought as she ate her ice cream. Milind tried to make her laugh a couple of times but she seemed unimpressed. Finally when Milind said they should be going home to eat dhoklas now Rashmi had stopped him to say "Paapa, I need to tell you something. I have been hiding it from you from a long time. I don't want to tell you but I feel guilty about it too"

Milind was surprised thinking what his daughter was talking about.

"Paapa, You are the best dad in the world. Even if my navy officer dad were to be alive, I would still have wanted to be your daughter. I love you Paapa" Rashmi had got up from her seat and hugged Milind who was still seated in his chair.

Milind hadn't known Rashmi knew about Neev. He had kissed her on her forehead, pulled her chair closer and asked her to sit there still stroking her head.

"When we were in Canada during my summer break last year, I overheard Naani telling Ayesha Mausi that Milind loves Rashmi as much as he loves his own daughter Mansi. I also knew you married Mom when I was two years old. I asked Naani to confirm the truth. Naani told me about my navy officer father. She asked me not to tell you or Mom that I know about this. But Paapa, I can never hide anything from you. I had started feeling I was cheating you by not telling you the truth. But I love you Paapa. I never felt you were not my real dad. I love you the most Paapa" Rashmi had said hiccupping.

"Rasshu baby, my darling. I love you too my dear. You are my angel daughter" Milind hugged Rashmi again. Prachi had called Milind's mobile then asking them to come home to eat dhoklas. Milind and Rashmi left for home then buying some ice cream for Mansi too.

As soon as they entered the house, Mansi came running to Rashmi and hugged her to say "Di, I am sorry".

"See Paapa. Now she is saying sorry as she wants me to read her Vikram Betaal" Rashmi teased her little sister.

"No di, Mom told me how important that book was for you. I am really sorry di" Mansi held her ears.

"Awww, it's ok my little baby sister" Rashmi tried to lift her sister in her arms. Milind had tickled Mansi then and Rashmi had joined him as the little girl laughed loud.

"Why don't you be all like this always?" Prachi said as she came out of the kitchen after reheating dhoklas. Mannu ate her ice cream and then started her kissing spree where she gave at least 100 kisses to everyone in her family going round and round.

"It would have been nice if Maa was with us too. When is she coming back? It feels like ages" Milind had commented as Premlatha had stayed back in Canada to be with Ayesha after Milind and his family holidayed there last summer.

"I will book her return tickets Milind. If not anything she will come back for the Bangalore weather" Prachi had replied.

Both children had requested their parents to get their grandmother back soon for they always shared a comfort with her that they didn't share with anyone else.

After dinner that night, Mansi had gone to sleep with Rashmi as Rashmi narrated her the story of a recent movie she had seen. Prachi sat reading a novel in her room while Milind worked on his laptop. After finishing checking his emails, Milind got into the bed while Prachi placed the bookmark on the page she was reading and closed her novel. As Prachi put her head on Milind's chest, Milind took a deep breath and said "Prachi, I need to tell you something. My daughter took a huge fear off of my heart today".

"I didn't understand Milind. What are you talking about?" Prachi was puzzled.

"I always feared the day Rashmi will come to know that I wasn't her genetic father. I knew we couldn't and shouldn't hide it from her forever. But today she told me she would want to be my daughter even if Neev was alive" Milind had said looking at the ceiling.

"But Milind how did she come to know about it?" Prachi asked feeling uneasy.

"She overheard some conversation between your sister and Maa. But Maa had told her not to tell us. Today my baby poured her heart in front of me as she couldn't hide it in her little heart anymore" Milind had a film of tears in his eyes while tears were dropping from Prachi's already.
Prachi got out of the bed and walked into the room where her children slept. She had gently fondled Rashmi's forehead and kept watching her for a while. Milind too had stood by the door watching Prachi. Prachi had kissed both of her children's foreheads and walked back to her room with Milind.

"Milind, Rashmi gets along much better with you than me. I can't thank you enough for giving her so much love" said Prachi with tears.

"Why wouldn't I love my daughter? " said Milind pulling Prachi into an embrace and continued to say "By the way Prachi you are thanking me again. Don't you remember your punishment you have to go through whenever you say thanks."

A shy smile decorated Prachi's lips as she thought about her punishment. Milind had made it a rule that she will need to kiss him on his lips whenever she said thanks to him.

Prachi stood on her toes making herself tall enough to reach her husband's lips with hers. Soon, Milind had slid his hands under her nightgown pulling her closer to him. The kiss had turned into a passionate one with Milind taking control of her lips. After they broke free, Milind lifted her in his arms to carry her to the bed. "You seem to enjoy your punishment" he had teased her as he pulled the sheet over them kissing her again.

That's a cute epilogue Shubs. Loved Milind's relationship with Rashmi. It requires a large heart to be able to accept another man's child as your own and Milind sure has one.

I hadn't planned to write an epilogue for this FF at all. But it bothered me that I didn't show how Milind and Rashmi accepted each other in the new relationship they shared. Also it was important for Rashmi to know the reality and come to terms with it. Milind's love made it all easy for the young girl.
Yes this Milind in particular has had a large heart always- aww Milind Mishra.
thank you.

Well, yes.. Mansi bonds slightly better with Prachi than Milind.. But it's still all fine.😊
Thanks for completing the story!
It was bothering me that I left Milind-Rashmi relationship not defined. So I had to do justice to it. I hope I explained..
Mansi sounds so cute too....

Oh welll...considering the punishment, If I were Prachi, I would be saying sorry every 15 minutes!!!👏
