Final OS (long).
One year later
RK:
I stood on top and witnessed the scenes below...my mansion had turned into a ladies fish market. My mom, sasu maa and Nikhil's mom were selecting jewellery and sarees for the impending Akira and Nikhil wedding. I laughed: I thought I was the best actor in the film industry both on and off screen but NO.
My sister and Nikhil turned out to be better actors. They had fooled the family, industry and media...even Ma and I did not know. Only Madhu, and Nik's family knew. Even the revelation came through Dipali. She accused my Madhu of being a cheater and having an affair with Nik, post marriage. It was then Akira lost control and slapped Dipali..not once but twice. Once for before and once for now. Akira lost it and told Dipali that Madhu is not Dipali who had no respect for the institution. For the first time Nikhil was angry. He also gave it to Dipali and it was her revealed that it was Akira and not Madhu who was his soul mate. Madhu was, is and always will be his best friend and no Rishabh Kundra would change that. I was stunned at the line and matters at hand. For the last two years, Akira and Nik were in love and it grew deeper because of Madhu. God, my wife is just adorable and I was so relieved.
I also realized that Akira was such a excellent director. We had completed Mohabbat, declared a super duper hit. During the shoot, I watched Madhu as an actress. She was amazing. All our expressions, reactions and emmotions were not rehearsed but real. I could not have done the passionate and intense scenes with other heroines. Our performances was from the heart and genuine. And Akira had transformed Papa's vision into reality. For Rakhi: she gifted me the old bungalow. I was speechless at the thought. Papa was right...daughters are a blessing. I could not wait to have a daughter. I had also decided that Madhu would not give up acting...Madhu was stunned but she had made up her mind. She would quit but be open to select roles. When she made the announcement, the industry went wild and offers were pouring in but she refused. She had taken on the biggest challenge:- ME. She was clear that I had to work on my fears and insecurities here and not run away. I reminisced "My private suraj":)
I sensed my wife's presence and looked at her. She was looking tired yet radiant. In the last year, my house had become a home...thanks to my wife and sister. If Madhu took charge of me, Akira took charge of the Bhatias. If there was one person Kuku Bhatia was scared of..it was Akira. The house was filled with laughter, madness and fun. Everytime I left for an outdoor, I wanted to return home. I wanted to spend my every waking minute with my wife. I had devoured her almost every day and night as I had to make up for lost time yet I was not satisfied. I wanted her more and more. Madhu smiled. I was worried and told her to rest. The smile disappeared and she glared. She said "Meri best friend ki shaadi hai" and walked past me. I pulled her into my arms and kissed her forehead.
Sangeet:
Everyone was dancing and singing. My sister and Nikhil looked so happy. Madhu looked beautiful; she was laughing and hugging Nikhil (I was jealous but now knew not to intefere). They were dancing on their songs. And then I saw Madhu fainting...I rushed as she fell in my arms. Everyone rushed up to her. By then I had become hysterical. I called out for Bittuji and he called for the doctor. I took Madhu up to our room. The doctor examined her and smiled. I was pissed and glared at him "Doctor, meri Biwi takleef mein hai aur aap hans rahe hai; aap ka license cancel kar doonga". The doctor laughed and said "RK, aap mera license cancel karenge tog aap ka bacha kaun deliver karega". I was stunned. The doctor said "RK, Congratulations, aap papa banane wale ho". Madhu was stirring and when she opened her eyes, the family pounced on her and me. She was smiling but she kept looking at me. I asked all the members to leave as I wanted some time with my wife. Madhu asked me if I was okay. I was not at all okay. I was going to be a dad...i could not be good son, brother and husband; how could I be a dad? Madhu sensed my fear and she said " Pyare Papa, aap ek bahut ache insaan ho". I hugged her and wanted to make love to her but was scared as I would hurt her and the baby. She mitigated my fear and we returned to sangeet an hour later: as a radiant and happy couple.
Nine months later: Hospital
I could hear Madhu screaming "RK, I hate you". I winced but was helpless. Akira did not help as she was so restless. Bittuji was shooing away the media. Ma and Saasu ma were praying. Madhu had been in labor for nine hours. My child was giving her pain as I had. But then it happened. I could hear our child's cry and everyone erupted in joy. The nurse walked out with our son. I was elated but surprised. Madhu and I were so sure that we would have a daughter. We had only daughter's names ready. I was nervous to hold my son so my mom did. Once they had held them, he was given to me. I was petrified but held him. It was then I knew joy. Madhu was resting and I walked in with our son. As soon as she saw us, she gave me the sweetest smile. She held our son and started cooing...I got jealous. I did not want my son to take my wife away from me. and just then Akira and the nurse walked in. The nurse asked us for the name. I told her to give us a day but Madhu held my hand and gave Aki a knowing smile. Madhu looked at me and said "Nurse, hamare beta ka naam likye: Mohan Rishab Kundra". I had tears in my eyes. Papa had left me but sent me not one but two angels: Madhu and Akira.
Madhu looked at our son and I looked at her. As I looked at her and them, I felt a deep sense of peace, contentment and happiness. I knew I was home. I walked up to her and whispered " Biwi, get ready for Round II..mujhe ek cricket team chaiyye". Madhu glared and I smirked.
Hope you enjoyed it...and I hope it happens in the serial also. Do comment...
