Epilogue

(2 years later)

"Rishab" Madhu calls & she switches on the side lamp & lazily climbs out of the bed.

"Hi" Rk smiles at madhu & again he averts his gaze towards the cribs where their babies Aarav & Aaradhana sleeping.

"They are looking great when they are asleep. I love them so much" Rk whispers when madhu joins him & sleepily leans on his shoulder & he plants a kiss on her hair.

"Oh my darling girl, again she starts sucking her thumb" he shakes his head in disapproval & takes his hand to pries her finger out of her mouth.

"Rishab, No" Madhu softly yells at him not wanting to wake the two sleeping beauties & hurriedly stops him. "Please, Don't. She will start crying & wake Aarav too. After hours of struggling I have successful put them to sleep so don't dare" She warns.

"Madhu, but..."

"Rishab, please...you know na she won't sleep till u rock her on your shoulder & she made sleeping on ur chest a habit but luckily I managed to put her to sleep this time."

"Biwi, I'm sorry, I got late...you know today was my last day working in Delhi so my colleagues gave me a small send off party..."

"Hmmm...I understand" she says softly & hugs him.

"All set, biwi? Anything left to do?" he asks.

"Hmm...No"

"What? Tired? You sound low? You alright, madhu" he holds her by her arms to check her.

"Hell tired" she says yawning & hugs him again.

"Why? We did all the packing before itself. Then?" he asks.

"Aarav lost his ball" she mutters.

"So?"

"I don't know whether he missed it or while packing I put it somewhere"

"Then?" He asks patiently.

"Then what? The usual. He made me run the whole house in search of it but I couldn't find so he asked me to get a new one. So we went to the mall"

"To get a ball u took them to the mall?" he asks shocked. "Or u went for ur own shopping?" he asks suspiciously. "By the way I told u not to take them out on ur own...you know how difficult it gets for both us to manage them but u went to the shopping mall taking them on ur own. You know it's not safe right? Why don't u get that, biwi? U could have called me, right?" he asks pissed.

"Doctor, Relax. I brought them back home safe. I tried to get that ball in nearby toy shops but Gah... ur son, he was so adamant, he wanted the same rainbow color ball which he had lost so we went to the mall & he made me search 4 floors & 11 shops for one single ball & haan...I didn't do any shopping because he didn't let me...I was busy running behind him carrying Aaru in my arms." she sighs sadly. He chuckles mentally. Good job, Champ! Even I couldn't do this job till date to ur shopaholic mommy!

"Okay? Did u get the ball?" he asks controlling the urge to laugh out loud. She points her chin towards Aarav's crib where he was sleeping peacefully hugging a rainbow color ball"

"Why? Biwi. You have the stamina to shop for 12 hours right? Now what?" he asks grinning.

"Stop teasing me, Rishab" she pouts.

"Okay, sorry. So tell me what all u three enjoyed leaving me?"

"Then we went to ice cream parlor..."

"What? In this climate who asked u..."

"Oh please, Don't start with ur your lecture, Doctor. You know Aarav never listen to me...he started throwing his tantrums & I gave in to his demand..." he didn't say anything but looked utterly displeased. "Okay, I got that expression & don't go mad at me for granting all his demands. They are so small & We will teach when how to behave when they grow up. Cool!!" she smiles. He nods.

"They took nearly one hour to eat one scoop of Ice cream & they made a complete mess" she sighs. "Oh Biwi, they are so small, we will teach them how to eat when they grow up" Rk backs at her. She frowns.

"Over?" he asks.

"No. even I thought after ice cream we will straightly head back home but my naughty boy he saw the play zone where u took him last time to play some car game & he started pestering me to take there. He is just 2 yrs old but he remembers everything quite well" She says amazed. "I think he likes shopping too...he was checking all the toy shops."

"He is taken after you, Biwi." He says grinning & walks into the dressing room to take his towel & PJ's & heads to the bathroom to take a shower & madhu follows him distractedly.

"What? You wanna shower with me?" he winks & opens the door wide to invite her in.

"As much as the idea is so appealing I have no energy left out so I'll hit the bed"

"Okay, Baby, u sleep. I'll come" he says & went in the bathroom & she walks back to the bed not before kissing her babies.

After taking his shower & changing in his PJ's Rk walks out of the dressing room & heads straight to their babies cribs & plants a soft goodnight kiss to them & then stretches besides madhu on their bed pulling her into his arms & she lays her head on his chest & starts "Rishab, I want to tell u something."

"What, Biwi?" he asks sensing her worry in her voice.

"Aaru...um...She is so silent, very reserved so unlike Aarav. Even today in kids zone, she neither mingle with other kids nor play any games while Aarav was enjoying a lot. She didn't ask me for anything, then I only bought her a doll. She was clinging to me all the time as if scared of the crowd. I'm worried, Rishab"

"Madhu, first thing don't compare with two kids. He is doing this & she is not...why? What happened?... U should not ask such questions. He is different & she is different. She has her own likings & disliking, she is normal at home right?"

"Yeah." she nods.

"See, Mom used to say I won't easily go & mingle with others when I was a kid & I don't like shopping much. I feel suffocated in huge crowd so..."

"So she is like you" madhu smiles in relief.

"Possible. But let's not leave this unnoticed. We will give her some time. Anyway tomorrow we are going back to Mumbai...Mom, Dad, Adi, everyone is there, so she might get a change" he says softly rubbing her arms to ease her fear.

"It still amazes me how time fled so quickly. It feels like only yesterday we both shifted to Delhi & now we four are moving back to Mumbai" madhu says with wonder in her voice.

"I'll miss this apartment but I'll cherish all our sweet moments spent together here" He says dreamily.

"Me too" Madhu agrees.

"We will come & stay here during vacation with our kids. Okay?" he suggests. She nods in acceptance.

"I love you, Rishab" she whispers & hugs him tightly & he presses a kiss on her head.

"Daddy..." Aaradhana cries waking up from her sleep.

"Aaru..." Rk mutters & leaps up easing madhu gently back on bed from his chest & hurries to Aaru's crib.

"So there goes my place" Madhu pouts & hugs her pillow.

"Hey darling, why are u crying, daddy is here!" he picks a crying Aaru in his arms & rocks her to & fro to console her.

"Rishab, she will wake up Aarav so take her to the balcony till she stops crying" Madhu suggests. Rk nods & walks towards the balcony closing the glass door behind him while madhu leans up on the bed to get better access to the balcony & watches the father-daughter animated conversation with a smile, though she couldn't hear what they were talking but she could say Aaru has stopped crying & starts giggling & clapping her puny hands & Rk laughs with parental joy & rubs his nose affectionately with his baby's button nose & she kisses his cheeks in return. Madhu's heart swells with happiness seeing the sight in front of her. Oh My Darling husband!! Could I love u more? I'm falling in love with u all the more by every single moment!! I wonder what Good deed I did in my previous birth to deserve such a lovely husband & two beautiful kids.

"Biwi..." Rk twitches his fingers in front of her eyes bringing her out of her reverie. "Dreaming?" Rk asks with a smile. "She slept?" she asks.

"Yep!" he says & made her lie on their bed. "Let her sleep with us Biwi" Rk tells madhu. "Then I will bring Aarav too. My poor boy will be sleeping alone" she says.

"Oye! You didn't sleep my naughty boy" madhu asks in surprise seeing Aarav awake & playing with his new ball. He giggles & pokes his tongue out to madhu.

"Badmaash" madhu chides him playfully & picks him up & walk back to their bed & settles him on bed & she too climbs on it.

"Mommy..." Aarav calls her in his baby voice. "What baby?" Madhu asks nuzzling his hair. Oh my! He smells so good!!

"Nood...Noodie" he struggles to say the words.

"Noodles?" she asks. He nods excitedly. "Mommy, my tummy hungry" he says hiding his face in her bosoms.

"Awe...baby, even I'm hungry. Okay, mommy will make quick noodles for us. U want Doctor?" she kisses his head & he grins.

"Madhu, No doubt, he is 100% like u. A foodie" Rk laughs & hops up Aarav & places on top of his torso "Madhu, u go make it for u two, I don't want & I'll take care of him till u come" he says & starts playing with Aarav.

After some time madhu came back to their room with two bowls of noodles & passes one to Rk asking him to feed Aarav while she eats hers. But Aarav insists to eat on his own. Oh no! he is gonna mess with it!

"Daddy...eat" Aarav tries to feed with his own hand & Rk willingly opens his mouth letting him feed him though he never likes to eat late night.

"Mommy...eat" He thrust a hand full of noodles to madhu mouth.

"Aaru..." then he looks down at her sister wanting to feed her too.

"She is sleeping so you eat baby" RK gently tells him & he reluctantly agrees & continues eating. After finishing half of the content he pushes the bowl away & madhu took him to wash his messy hands & mouths.

Soon all the four went to a peaceful sleep snuggling close to each other.

(Next day in Mumbai)

"Welcome Back to home" whole Kundra & Makil clan cheers in chorus. Radha takes aarti to Rk, madhu & their kids before letting them in. then Rk & madhu took blessings from Mohan-Radha & Malik-Padmini. Then they share their hugs with sultan-dipali & mukkund-trishna.

"Mommy...Doll" Aarav points his hands towards Aavara, Mukkund-Trishna's 14 months old daughter.

"I love her" Aarav declares to everyone loudly making everyone burst into laughter.

"Okay, Champ. I'll marry u to my daughter" Mukkund says grinning.

"Now?" He asks wide eyes.

"Not now. When u grow up we will marry u to Aavara" Madhu rolls her eyes.

"Oh! So shall I play with my Biwi now?" he asks authoritatively placing his hands on his hips. Biwi? Madhu darts her gaze at Rk who grins widely.

"Madhu, is he really 2 yrs old?" Dipali asks wide eyed shock. Madhu hits her head in embarrassment.

"Aaru come let's play. I will show u my new train" Adi calls Aaru who was silently watching everyone, sitting on her dad's lap.

"Daddy..." She tilts her head up asking Rk's permission to go.

"Go, darling" he plants a kiss on her forehead & sets her down. Then she walks out to the lawn to play with her Adi bhaiya.

"Hi" Madhu says to Rk who was watching the kids play. He pulls madhu in his arms.

"Hi. See, Aaru is enjoying herself. She likes playing with Adi & once she gets acquainted with the new atmosphere she will move freely with other member too" He says assuring her & pecks a kiss on her lips.

"Yes. I hope so" she smiles. "You happy?" she asks.

"Coming back home?" he asks. She nods. "Very. I was waiting to get the transfer & finally I got & back to my lovely family. Even now u can resume ur job in our company as everyone ais there to take care of our babies. If u so wish" he says smilingly.

"Hmm...not now, Doctor. I love being with Aarav & Aaru. May be once they join school I'll resume my job, okay?" she asks hugging him.

"Cool" he plants a kiss on her forehead & she kisses him on his cheeks & whispers "I love u"

"I know, Biwi" he grins.

"How long u'll make me wait to hear those three words, Rishab? Its been two years since I heard it last" she says cutely.

"All in good time, Biwi" he wraps his arms tightly around her & places his forehead on hers.

"Rishu, Madhu dinner is served. Bring in all the kids" Radha calls & walks in to the house. Then Rk & madhu takes the kids inside & after a pleasant family dinner & chit chatting for a while all dispersed to their rooms.

"Rishab, Wait. Don't close the door. I'll go bring Aarav & Aaru from mummji's room. They will trouble them." Madhu says.

"Madhu, they both slept & Mom told she will take care of them. You don't worry" she nods & walks to take her shower.

"Biwi" Rk calls her grinning. "What?" she asks.

"Shall we take shower together?" Rk asks salaciously. She blushes & nods excitedly.

"Oh my darling, you never disappoint me but before that I need to take u somewhere. Come" he holds out his hand for her. "Where?" she asks.

"Surprise" he smiles.

"Beach!!" Madhu squeals in delight the moment he parks the car.

"Yes. I missed our romantic nights in Beach. Come" he says & quickl;y jumps out & went around to open the door for her. Then they two happily walk hand in hand on the sand.

"Do u remember, Doctor...our first date was in Beach on a full moon day like today" she looks up at Rk relishing the memorable moment which happened three years back.

"Do u think I would forget the day on which I got my first ever KISS?" he winks at her & she blushes crimson. Rk checks the time on his wrist watch while she was gazing at the full moon in awe & suddenly she blinks her eyes with some distraction & soon felt something on her neck. She looks down to see a beautiful chain with diamond studded pendent. After hooking the chain, Rk hugs her from behind & whispers "Happy Anniversary, Biwi" he pauses for a moment & says "I LOVE U, Madhu" a bright smile erupts on madhu's face the moment she hear the three words from him. She turns & looks up at Rk with happy tears rolling down her cheeks which Rk brushes away with his thumb. "I'm sorry Biwi for making u wait this long but I really love to test your patience. But whether I say or not I have always loved u & will love u till my last breath & you know that" he pecks on her lips. She nods happily.

"Happy Anniversary. I love u too, Doctor" she whispers with a wide smile. Then he looks passionately into her eyes & she reflects the same & slowly she stood on her toe & he lifts her up in his arms & claims her lips in his. A slow, passionately kiss...a kiss filled with love...love... & only LOVE!!

THE END

u all might wonder why I have named all the kids name starting with "A"...

I have a reason...u all know my name starts with "S" & 2^nd letter "U" so always my name comes in the last in school & college...i really get pissed till they call my name for attendance or to receive report card & even in exam hall I sit at the last...during my graduation day I had waited for hours to collect my degree certificate & on that day I have decided to name my kids name starting with A & 2^nd letter too "A" so that they wont wait long & get bored LOL so here too I did the same LOL...okay i'll cut the crap bcos I have lot to say...

I don't know whether the epilogue came out well or not. I really don't have any idea how a 2 year old kid talk or behave becos i'm single & no niece or nephew of that age so I might have exaggerated in many places & bored u so please forgive me taking that as my inexperience.
