Epilogue..:
6 years later...
Kumkum is standing on the podium, with tears in her eyes..😭
"Ek aurat..kamzor nahin hoti...ye samaaj use kamzor bana deta hai..aurat ko durga bana kar pooja jaata hai...saraswati bana kar mandiron mein sthapit kiya jaata hai..par use ek insaan ka hi darja nahin diya jaata..Aaj bhi..hamare desh mein developement ki bahut baatein banayi jaati hain...ki india is gonna rule the world..US se comapre kiya jaata hai..china..honk-kong ..singapore se compare kiya jaata hai...kyun?..kyunki hum khud maante hain ki hum..un deshon se peeche hain..aur aisa hai.."👏
A drop of tear trickles down her face..."We talk about women empowerment...we see Indira Gandhi ..PT Usha..sania Mirza..mother teresa as our role models...but ek aisi ladki..jiska..mansik aur shaaaririk shoshan kiya gaya ho..usko buri nazar se dekhte hain..uslo sahaanubhuti aur pyaar dene ki bajay.."😭
She wipes her tears.."And of course, before the media speculates anything else..main khud hi bata doon..ki main bhi ek aisi hi ladki hun...jiske saath sharirik shoshan kiya gaya..par mujhe bhagwaan ne aashirwaad ke roop mein mere pati mujhe diye..Dr.Sumit Wadhwa..jinhone us samay mera saath diya..jab mujhe saath ki zarurat thi....ek dost bankar..wo meri zindagi mein aaye..aur ek humsafar bankar..mera saath diya..bhagwaan se agar kuch maangoon..toh sirf har janam mein unka saath hi maangoogni...thankyou shabd bahut chota hai..magar apni feelings zahir karne ka koi aur tareeka nahin hai..isiliye..thankyou sumit.."😳
She steps down the podium and the hall roars with thunder...!!!👏👏
Announcer.."and there's a suprise for you Mrs.Wadhwa...to give you the President's award for excellence..we have, alongwith the honourable president..Mr.Sumit Wadhwa himself..."😳
Kumkum smiles...It was unexpected.."Sumit?..how come you came to Delhi without informing me..?"😆
sumit hugs her..whisphering into her ears.."kyun?...har baat tujhe batani zaruri hai..Ms. chipkali?..mere kuch secrets nahin ho sakte..?"😆😉
Kumkum smiles..He hadn't changed a bit even after six years of their marriage..He was the same naughty, haughty and good-humored sumit..always pulling her leg..😆
Kumkum receives the award from the President himself..But, sumit, seems to be more happy than kumkum herself..!!!😳
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kumkum hugs sumit, outside the auditorium..He hugs her back.."Tired??.."😳
"Hmm.."she replies, closing her eyes...😊
"Ok..there's another suprise..close your eyes.."He places his hand on her eyes..😕
"Mamma..!!!!"a 3 year-old rushes to them..😉
"Adoo???.."Kumkum shouts in joy..⭐️
Little Aditi, is taken into arms by kumkum..she kisses Aditi like anything.."are..mera bacchha?... mera Adoo bhi aaya hai papa ke saath?.."😳
She smiles, kissing her mother's cheek..😃
"Mama..chalo..mere adoo ko mere paas do..how dare you touch my girlfriend..aaja Adi.."Sumit takes Aditi from her and kisses her nose..😉
Aditi chuckles.."Daddy.."😛
She kisses his cheeks...Sumit closes his eyes.."aah..haa..ummm..aaah..mera cutie pie.."😳
Kumkum smiles, looking at the father-daughter duo..😊
"Sumit...she had a test at shool...tumne uska test miss karva diya?..."Kumkum asks.😆.
"Kumkum...she's in pre-school yaar..what test-vest?.."Sumit kisses her fingers...😉
"Test-vest-nest.."mutters Aditi..😆
"Sumit..test is a test.."kumkum justifies..
"Shut up..no test vest.."Sumit says, holding kumkum's hand too, taking them, to the car parking..😳
"Aadatein mat bigaado uski...waisi hi bahut bigdi hui hai..."Kumkum opens the car door..😕
"Tum chup raho..apne bete ko sambhalna..meri beti..bigdi hi theek hai.."He replies..😉
He makes her seat comfortably and closes the door, handling aditi to her..😳
"aur agar..beti hui toh?.."Kumkum asks..parting Aditi's hair properly..😉
"Toh kya?..woh bhi meri team mein aa jayegi...phir hum teeno masti se rahenge.."He takes Aditi in arms..making Kumkum wear the seatbelt properly...😆
"papa..ice tream..."Aditi looks at him..
"No beta...thandi mein ice-cream nahin khaate.."Kumkum replies..
"Kyun nahin khaate..tum mat khana..hum toh khaayenge..hai na adoo..??"Sumit kisses her cheek, starting the car..😆
"aaaaah..you two are impossible.."Kumkum shakes her head...😆
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kumkum is lying down on the bed..Sumit enters the room, closing the door behind him..😳
"Kumkum?...soyi nahin?.."sumit smiles..😕

"Nahin baba..fever nahin hai..use sulaane ka kaam toh main bhi nahin kar sakti.."she holds his hand..😳
"hmm..blood pressure check kiya?..aur...sugar test reports dekhi thi tumhaari...low thi na.."😳
He brings a sphygmometer and an injection.."lao..haath do.."
"Itna pareshaan hone ki zarurat nahin hai sumit..its ok..pregnancy mein hota hai BP low.."she places his hand below her head...😳
"ab main kya karoon..museebat tumhaari best friend aur main uska dushman...toh..jab bhi..apni baaki girl friends se time milta hun..toh tumhaari taraf bhi dekh hi leta hun.."😉
"oh..!!..then, its ok...waise agar..meri zarurat nahin hai..toh main baar baar pareshaan nahin karungi..I mean...if i become a hurdle in your dates and all..toh main..jaa bhi sakti hun..chodkar..aur.."
"Chup..!!"he places his hand on her lips..
His eyes become moist.."ek baar khone ka ehsaas ho chuka hai..ab please..dobaara kabhie aisi baatein mat karna.."😭
FLASHBACK
Even after 4 days of her miscarriage, kumkum refused to face anybody...she wished to be left alone..But, one day, when sumit came to check her up, he found her absent from the bed..After a rigorous search, they found her at the beach, walking to a deep end...Sumit, had saved her in time from a huge current..😭
"KUMKUM...!!!"He pulled her closer...
"Main..main jeena nahin chahti sumit..please..chodo mujhe..chodo.."she struggled..😭
"Kumkum...pagalpan mat karo..chalo mere saath.."
"Mujhe nahin jeena hai..leave me.."She shouts..
Kumkum is struggling hard..but, he plants a tight slap on her left cheek.."dimaag kharaab ho gaya hai tera?...pagal...main??..tujhe kuch ho gaya toh mera kya hoga?..socha hai?...."
He pulled kumkum closer and took her in arms...carrying her to a safer place...
She was crying pathetically..."Su..Sumit..I..I..lost my baby..."😭
"I know.."is what sumit said.."i am sorry.."😭
He took kumkum in arms and hugged her tight..Kumkum sobbed badly..
"I have no reason to live now...main toh sirf bacche ki wajah se zinda thi na...ab mujhe nahin jeena hai..main..main.."She breaks down..😭
"Sab mere kaaran hua hai kumkum..main hun sabki wajah.."he blames himself..
"Nahin...wo..wo raasta maine chuna tha...main ..main tumhe bhagwaan se badhkar maanti hun...aur main nahin (sobs) dekh sakti thi tumhe kuch hote hue..isiliye..main..main hi hun wajah..i want to die..i want mercy death..."😭
"Nahin pagal..main hun na...tujhe mere liye jeena hai...main bahut oyaar karta hun tujhse aur..aur..agar tujhe kuch hua..toh i will kill myself...kumkum..I..I love you..."😳
Sumit takes her in arms...but before he could explain anything...her body goes limp and she faints...
FLASHBACK..
"sorry.."kumkum holds in hand..😳
"its ok.."he kisses her hand..."please..kabhie phir iss tarah chodkar jaane ki baat mat karna..."😳
Her eyes become moist on seeing him upset..He bends down and kisses her forehead..😳
"Pap..papa?.."aditi comes, smiling..😕
