Epilogue:
After 3 years: In Lucknow: Residence of Dr Ashutosh and Dr Nidhi:
Ashu – "Nidhi! Arre Nidhi! jaldi karo yaar. Its getting late. Dekho either you are out in the next 2 minutes or I am leaving for KGH alone."
Nidhi – arre baba aarahi hu. Why do you keep shouting? As if you are the only one who has to go to KGH. even I work there, even I have patients who are waiting for me.
Ashu – yes madam. But the difference is I don't LIKE to keep them waiting.
Nidhi – you mean I like to keep them waiting?
Outside the closed room door, two very naughty kids are eaves dropping on their parents conversation. Their ears are literally stuck to the door and their hands are covering their mouths to stifle their giggles.
BB – Ashni, Aniket, yeh kya kar rahe ho?
Both spring away from the door and continue looking at each other and giggling.
BB – ab kya shaitaani ki hain tum dono ne?
Ashni – kuch nahi dadaji. Hum log mamma Baba ki baaten chun lahe the.
BB – beta, aise chup chup ke badon ki batoon ko sunna galat hain na. I told you that before.
Both look guilty as charged but then look at each other and giggle again.
BB – when you two do that na I feel as if you have a language of your own that none of us understand. Ab bolo why are you giggling?
Aniket – Mamma Baba dishom dishom kal lahe hain Dadaji.
BB- toh isme hasne wali kaun si baat hain?
Ashni comes close to BB as if sharing a secret. "woh kya hain na mamma Baba dishom dishom kalen ke baad na bahut kissie kissie kalte hain. hammeesshaa aisa hota hain Dadaji." Then both of them start enacting a fight and a hug alternatively. "dishoom dishoom kissie kissie dishoom dishoom kissie kissie.." then giggle. Just then the door opens and Ashu and Nidhi come out. AShu – "ab yeh kya horaha hain Aniket? Phir se Ashni se jhagda?" Aniket – "nahin Baba. We al telling Dadaji how mamma and baba do dishoom dishoom kissie kissie." A blush creeps on Ashu's face and he mock punches Aniket "badmaash tujhe toh na mein.." Ashni comes to immediate defence and gives her master stroke. "Baba, aap ke chin pe mamma ka lipstick hain. lipstick girls keliye hain. aap toh boy ho." BB makes a hasty exit at that and Ashu groans, grabs his hanky and hastily wipes his cheeks and face and Nidhi hides her blush and laugh behind her hand and tries to divert her kids. "ab dono chup. Aur chalo chalo jaldi. Mamma Baba aap logon ko nanaji ke ghar chodkar hospital jaana hain." that gets them both excited as they know the kind of sweets that await them there with DB. Nidhi goes into the kitchen. "Kaka, should I get anything on my way back in the evening?" HK – "no beti. Aaj bachche apne nana ke ghar jaarahe hain na. so me and BB will go and finish the shopping after some time." Nidhi – kaka, don't tire yourself out ok? its been only a week since we came back from Delhi so take it easy ok. and Kaka, I want to tell you something." HK – "haan bolo beti." Nidhi – kaka, you came with us to Delhi, stayed and helped out BB and Ashutosh with the kids and house over there, all so that I could do my PG. I never told you this but thank you kaka. Without you, everything would have been almost impossible to manage." HK is moved to tears by her words. "beti, whatever I did, I did for us. apnon ke liye hi toh kiya hain na." Nidhi smilingly nods her head and touches his feet and HK gives his blessings with a happy smile. "and kaka, don't make any dinner preparations. Armaanji is holding a party this evening so we will be going there." Soon all 4 pile up in the car and leave. Ashu and Nidhi drop the kids at their nana's house, have the bfast there itself and leave for KGH. Now Ashu is back to work and Nidhi has also joined as a paediatrician at KGH. he had a great break during the 3 years. Teaching was a great idea and a pleasant change from his schedule and now he is back to his profession with renewed energy and enthusiasm. Once when he was teaching at MAMC in Delhi, one of his previous interns saw him and told some of the students that he was called as Dr Heartstone in Lucknow. Everyone gave him weird looks and no one believed him. The Ashutosh they saw now was a man who although is still a bit reserved, had smiling eyes and a charming grin. Ashu and Nidhi reach the hospital and after Nidhi reminding Ashu about the evening's dinner plan and Armaan's party, both leave for their respective depts.
In the evening, the couple and their kids get ready and leave for the hotel where Armaan is holding a huge party on the occasion of the resounding success of his fashion show and his collections. He is at the entrance as if waiting for Ashu and Nidhi's arrival and both kids run to him as soon as they see him. AShni - "chacha! Chacha! Aap hume dekhne nahin aaye itne din? Maine aap ko itna miss kiya." She stretches her arms to show how much she has missed her chacha. Aniket – "lekin maine aap ko miss nahin kiya. I missed chachi more. where is chachi?" "I am here my darling!" Aniket – "Mansi chachi! I missed you Maansi chachi so so so much!" Mansi – "I missed you too beta!" and hugs him. Then Armaan finally looks up to see Ashu and Nidhi standing there. "oh aap log! Aap kab aaye? I didn't see you." Ashu – "yeah I can see that Armaan. But its not just the kids. jab se Mansi tumhaare zindagi mein aayi hain na, tujhe ko toh mein dikhayi hi nahi deta." Armaan laughs and hugs Ashu and then Nidhi who congratulates him on his success and then another round of hugs go to Mansi, who is now Armaan's wife. everyone troops inside with Armaan carrying Ashni and Mansi carrying Aniket. Nidhi spots Rohan and Anji and makes a beeline for them. Ashu, who is talking to someone, looks up at the squeals and yippies coming from Nidhi, Anji and Rohan and smiles a little and shakes in head. Somethings never change! Anji sees Ashu and almost runs towards him and hugs him. "Anji, sambhal ke. Its not good to run like that in this condition. How did your scan go today? Sab teek?" Anji happily nods her head. "everything perfect jeejaji. Due date is by the end of the year. And my in-laws are so happy." Ashu ruffles her hair affectionately. "toh hamaari saali sahiba jaldi hi mamma kehlaayegi haan!!?" Anji blushes at that and Ranganath also joins them and gets another round of congratulations and hugs from everyone. Ashu – "arre Rohan, tum akele ho? Aap ki dharam patni nahi aayi?" Anji – "you got to be joking jeejaji! If Aanchal hadn't come, Rohan also would have skipped the whole event." ROhan glares at her. "aisa kuch nahin hain Ashutosh, Aanchal is here. She just met her school classmate after a real long time so she is talking to her." Ashu – "arre yaar Armaan, tu akela hain? Aniket aur Ashni kidhar gaye?" Armaan – "arre yahi par hain. they are running around and playing. Don't worry." But Ashu is out searching before Armaan can complete the sentence. Nidhi – "Armaanji, forget it. Ashutosh, and not worry? And good thing you were not there when the kids were getting their vaccines. I tell you, I didn't know whom to pacify. Them or him." Everyone laughs out at that. but at the same time start looking around for the kids. suddenly Nidhi remembers something and goes to Ashu. "I think I know where the kids are!" Ashu – "where?" Nidhi – "you remember Anji's wedding? You said some time soon our kids also will be standing around the ice cream table and we will be searching for them?" Ashu smiles and both of them make their way to the ice cream table. And sure enough there they are. Sitting almost under the table and gulping down the ice cream and smearing it more around their mouth. Ashu and Nidhi look at each other and laugh and start making their way to them. but Armaan and Rohan reach them first and pluck them from under the table. Assuring themselves that both kids are safe and sound, Ashu and Nidhi start mingling with other guests with arms around each other. Armaan and Rohan clean up the kids and lift them in their arms. One of the guests come over to Armaan and asks "arre Armaanji, yeh kiske bachche hain?" Armaan – "mera dost Ashutosh ke. Twins hain. yeh AShni hain aur woh Aniket." Guest – "kaun woh Dr Ashutosh, neurosurgeon of KGH?" Armaan – "yes. you know him?" Guest – "arre wahi na, jinhone apne se 10-15 saal choti ladki se shaadi kiya." Rohan and Armaan get furious at the way he says that and are about it retort back when Aniket, still busy eating and without looking up from his ice cream cup replies, "10 saal nahin 18 saal. Mere Baba mere Mamma se 18 years bade hain. Mamma bolti hain pyaar mein sab kuch zaayaz hain." Armaan hugs Aniket at that and smiles at Rohan. "Ashutosh aur Nidhi ke baare mein log kuch bhi kahe, hume kuch kehne ki zaroorat nahin. yeh bachche hain na! yehi kaafi hain." Rohan hugs Ashni who smiles and gives him a kiss. and Armaan and Rohan carry the kids and go in search of the best couple, Dr Nidhi and Dr Ashutosh!❤️
