Epilogue
Rishabh had never been this nervous in his life. He tiptoed into his bedroom which was decorated with flowers and laces. And there she was, sitting on his bed, her face covered by the ornate veil. "Damn it! Why am I behaving like she is someone else's wife. She is my Madhu, my wife. Oh god, help me!!" As he neared her and lifted the veil, he was shocked to death. "Bro? WTH? What are you doing on my bed in my Suhagraat?" shouted Rishabh at Karan who almost fell off the bed, laughing hysterically. Madhu and Jeevika came out of the wordrobe, holding their stomach while laughing out. "I am out of this hell house. I don't care about this suhagraat anymore. And you, Miss Madhu Malik.." "Uh-uh, Mrs Madhu Rishabh Kundra," prompted Madhu. "Chal chal nautanki kahika. I know very well how much you care about your suhagraat," winked Karan," Let's go Jeevika, before this moron kills us in front of Madhu," and rushed out of the room.
Rishabh lifted Madhu with a sudden jerk and laid her on the bed. Madhu was flushed and tried to get free of his gripping hold. "I am not going to spare you tonight Madhu. I thought you would be waiting for me in your dulhan's costume and I would slowly unveil you and make you feel special. But now that you conspired against me and made me a fool I will make you cry and plead for my forgiveness all through the night."
And indeed she cried, but out of the sheer ecstasy she felt for the first time in her life; she felt the true essence of being a woman, an ardhangini (better-half) whose body and soul had been consummated by the love of her partner for life.
Rishabh had been pondering over a question for the last few days. He had to get the answer from Madhu and could not wait longer. After a night long passionate expedition, Madhu was extremely tired and sleeping deeply in Rishabh's arms. "Madhu, get up Madhu." She made such moaning sounds in reply that Rishabh again felt his manliness getting aroused. "Madhu I have to know something urgently, please get up," and shook her. "What is it Rishabh?" asked Madhu while struggling to open her eyes. "When did you start loving me?" "What Rishabh? We are married now.." "No tell me please Madhu, please.." pleaded Rishabh. "Uhh-hhuu..monster kahinka..didn't let me sleep all night and now bothering me with such trivial things.." "Madhu.." "From Didz wedding, when you threatened to kiss me in front of everyone and tried to kiss me in the room. Now happy? If you don't let me sleep now, I will sleep with Mummy ji tomorrow onwards," said Madhu and snuggled more into his warm chest.
Rishabh was now on the seventh heaven. He squeezed her one last time, kissed her forehead and let her sleep peacefully. It was indeed a fairy tale, where they would be living happily forever after.
