Epilogue

Writer's pov

Khushi was looking at herself in the mirror, and Shourya was sitting on the bed using his mobile.

He averted his gaze from the mobile and looked at his wife who was standing in front of the mirror for the past ten minutes.

"Baby, what are you looking at?" He asked getting up from the bed.

"Shourya, see my cheeks, it's looking like balloons," she said pulling her cheeks. "And look at me, I am looking like an elephant," she added.

He went towards her and hugged her from behind, keeping his chin on her shoulder and placing his hands on her big belly.

"You are not looking like an elephant, sweetheart. You are looking cute with this eight months baby bump," he said placing his lips on her shoulder.

She freed herself from his hold and turned to face him. "Am I not looking fat?"

He shook his head, "No baby."

Her legs started paining so she went and sat on the bed. Shourya also went and sat beside her.

"Shourya," she called him softly.

"Hmm,"

"What do you want, a boy or a girl?" She asked looking at him.

"Hmm...Actually, I want a girl, but whatever God will gift us with, I will accept it full heartily, and I will love he or she a lot," he said happily.

Khushi just smiled.

"Come, I will give a massage to your legs,"

"No, Shourya, you don't have to do that," she declined, but Shourya being Shourya, forcefully made her lie on the bed and started massaging her swollen legs.

"Khushi, how are you feeling?" Avantika came with a glass of juice for her.

"I am fine, mom. Where is Neha? I have not seen her since morning."

"She went to do the shopping for her unborn niece or nephew," she said pointing at Khushi's belly, shaking her head.

All were excited to welcome the new member of their family.

Khushi and Shourya laughed.

"And where is dad?" Shourya asked.

"He is downstairs talking with Rahul."

He nodded.

"Ok, Khushi, have this juice," Avantika said left from there.

"Here drink this." Shourya handed the glass of juice to Khushi. She drank it and stood up from the bed.

"Where are you going?" He asked her and placed the empty glass on the table.

"Downstairs,"

"Ok, let me come with you," he held her hand, and they both went downstairs.

"Hey, Khushi, how are you?" Rahul asked smiling at her. "And how is a little one?"

Shourya helped Khushi to sit. "I am fine," she placed her hands on her stomach. "And this little one is also fine," she said smiling, caressing her stomach.

They all were talking when Ritik, Nitya, Divya and Urvashi made their entry.

Nitya and Divya ran towards Khushi and hugged her and kissed her belly.

"How are you, my baby?" Divya asked in excitement caressing Khushi's stomach.

"The baby will tell you when she will comes out from her stomach," Rahul joked which made all of them laugh.

Divya glared at him.

"Khushi, I am soo excited to see my niece or nephew," Nitya said hugging her again.

"I am also waiting to see my niece or nephew," Khushi said in a playful tone looking at Nitya and Ritik, making Nitya blush.

"It's been only two months for our marriage, Khushi," Ritik murmured, stretching his neck.

"So what? I want niece or a nephew," Khushi said stubbornly and received a pinch from Nitya.

One month later

Shourya's pov

My sleep got disturbed when I felt someone shaking me. When I looked at Khushi, she was crying holding her stomach. I immediately got up, my heart started to race.

"Baby, what happened?" I asked her. I was worried.

"It's paining...my water broke," she said between her cries. I looked at the bedsheet, it has become wet.

"Calm down..let's go to the hospital," I scooped her in my arms and went downstairs.

"Mom...dad!" I screamed. Khushi was crying badly.

They all came running. "What happened Shou-.....oh my god!" Mom came running towards us looking at Khushi.

"Shourya, take her to the car fast!" Dad ordered, and he took the car keys.

I ran taking Khushi in my arms and place her in the car. Mom also came and sat beside us, and dad started the car.

"Sho-shourya, it's pain-painnig," Khushi said between her cries holding her stomach. My heart broke looking at her.

"Everything will be fine. We are about to reach," I said kissing her hair.

"I-I can't han-handle thi-this pain," she squeezed her eyes tightly.

Oh god, what should I do? Please give her strength to handle this....I can't see her like this..

"I am with you, baby. Just..." I don't know how to console her. My mind is also becoming numb.

"Khushi, baby, see we reached the hospital," Mom said stroking her hair.

Dad parked the car in front of the hospital.

I scooped Khushi in my arms and ran to the hospital.

"Doctor!" I shouted. Doctors came running, and then asked the nurses to take her to the operation theatre.

"Shourya, everything will be fine," Dad said placing his hand on my shoulder.

I nodded.

I was nervous and also scared. I can hear her screaming from the OT, which was breaking my heart.

God, please lessen her pain..

I was pacing back and forth when mom held my hand. "Come, Shourya, sit here," She made me sit on the bench. "Don't worry everything will be fine."

"Mom, I am scared."

She held my hand and squeeze it lightly and said, "Don't be scared, soon you are going to see your baby."

I was happy but at the same time scared and nervous. My heart was beating wildly.

After sometimes Urvashi mom, Divya, Rahul, Neha, Ritik and Nitya came.

Maybe Neha informed them about Khushi.

"How is my daughter?" Urvashi mom asked my mom in worried tone.

Mom was about to tell her when we heard a cry of my little bundle of joy. For a second my heart stopped beating and tears formed in my eyes.

"OH MY GOD, the baby is out!" Divya, Nitya and Neha shouted in excitement.

God their screams makes me more nervous.

After sometimes one nurse came with my baby wrapped in a pink towel. I quickly stood up.

"Congratulations, Mr. Kapoor..its a girl," she congratulated me and was waiting for me to hold my tiny Khushi. She was so small and her cheeks were pink.

I slowly took my princess in my hands.

They all started congratulating me.

Rahul came and gave me one side hug. "Congratulations man, I am happy for you."

"Thanks buddy," I then looked at my daughter. She is so cute. I kissed her tiny forehead and then her tiny nose. "Princess, I am your dad."

"And we are your beautiful aunts," Divya said pointing at Neha, Nitya and her.

"And we are your handsome uncles," Rahul said pointing at him and Ritik.

"How is my wife?" I asked the nurse.

I just hope she is fine.

"She is fine, she is sleeping now. Now we are shifting her to the general room, you can meet her there."

I nodded.

"Hey man, lets us also see our granddaughter," Dad said tried to take my daughter.

"Dad, let me hold her some more time" I tightened my hold around my daughter.

They all laughed at me.

It feels so good to become parents. Someone will be there to call me dad and my Khushi mom..

"Sir, now you can meet your wife," one nurse came and informed me.

I nodded and left with my princess to meet her mom.

When I entered the room with my princess, Khushi was sleeping. She was looking weak and fragile. IV was connected to her left hand.

I went and kept our baby near her and kissed her forehead.

"Baby, this is your mama," when I whispered this to her, she started crying, which disturbed Khushi's sleep.

I took her. "Shh baby, don't cry. Your mama is tired, let her sleep," I tried to make her quiet, but she started crying more. I don't know how to make babies quiet, but I still tried.

Khushi giggled. "Give her to me," she said.

I placed her beside Khushi, and to my surprise, she stopped crying within a minute.

Seems like she is mama's girl.....poor dad.

I sat beside Khushi. "She is adorable," I said.

She nodded. "Just like her mom," she said weakly, with a smirk.

"I agree," I took her hand in mine. "Thank you for showering my life with happiness. Thank you for making me a better person," I thanked her.

I am happy because Khushi is there in my life. Starting, I used to think she ruined my life by marrying me, but I didn't know that god had sent her to my life to bloom my life with happiness.

She smiled. "I love you."

"I love you too." I placed my lips on hers.

"Control guys control," here comes mood spoilers.

"Hey, baby, how are you?" Nitya came and asked Khushi, and Divya took the baby.

"I am fine, Nitya,"

"Mom, see, she is looking so cute," Divya went towards Urvashi mom and said, looking at my daughter lovingly.

"Yes," she was about to take her, but Divya turned to the other side. "Not now, mom. Let her see her aunt properly."

"And when will she see her grandparents?" Mom asked giving her a fake angry glare.

"Have patience, aunty. It is said that the fruit of patience is always sweet."

They all glared at her.

"How are you, Khushi?" Urvashi mom came and asked, stroking Khushi's head.

"Mom, I am fine," she said.

"Divya, please let me also take my niece," Ritik said, but she was not ready to give.

They all started fighting to take my daughter, and she started crying.

"Why are you making my baby cry, huh?" I raised my voice a little.

"Shourya, for the past half an hour the baby has been with Divya..tell her to give her to us now," Rahul complained.

"Divi, let them also take her," Khushi said to her.

"Di, it's just half an hour," she whined. She then looked at her watch. "See guys, it's 1:15 now, I will give her to you at 1:20...just five more minutes, okay?" she said looking at all of them.

"That's not fair, Divya," Rahul forcefully took my daughter from her. "We are also her uncles."

Divya was glaring at him. "And I am her aunt. She is my sister's daughter."

"And she is my brother's daughter," he fired back.

"Baby, poop on your uncle's hands," Divya said to my daughter and then glared at Rahul who just rolled his eyes at her.

"Guys please stop it. This is hospital not a fish market," Ritik said glaring at Rahul and Divya.

Khushi's POV

It feels so good to become a mom, my daughter will call me mom. I can't explain in words how happy I am. When the doctor showed me my baby, though I was not able to see her properly because of blurry vision, and I was tired...I lost all my strength while delivering the baby, but when I saw her, I felt as if someone placed all the world in my hand. She was crying by fisting her little hands. My hands were yearning to take her, but I felt as if my whole strength was fading away, and soon darkness consumed me.

My sleep got disturbed when I heard the cry of my daughter. When I opened my eyes, I saw Shourya was trying to make her quiet.

We were all talking when the nurse came. She removed the IV connected to my left hand.

"So, Mr and Mrs. Kapoor, what would you like to give a name to your daughter?" She asked.

I looked at Shourya and smiled. "Shanaya Kapoor," he told her.

"Wow, jiju, it's a nice name," Divya commented.

"Actually, we planned that if I deliver a boy then we will keep his name as Kaden and if a girl, then her name will be Shanaya," I told them.

They all smiled.

"Don't worry, soon we will keep the name of our next baby as Kaden," Shourya whispered in my ear which made me blush.

▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪

When I entered the room taking baby's clothes which was kept for drying, I saw Shourya trying to change the diaper of the baby by putting a clothespin on his nose.

"Shourya, what is this?" I asked and took off the clothespin from his nose.

"I was trying to change Princess's diaper, she pooped," he said making a pout.

"Is this how you put diaper on babies?" I asked him by keeping my hands on my hips. I taught him many times how to change a baby's diaper, but this man always forgets.

I shook my head and changed the baby's diaper and kept her in the cradle.

When I was going, Shourya pulled me towards him by holding my hand, which made me fall on his chest.

"Shourya, wha-what are you doing?" I tried to come out from his hold, but that shameless man captured my lips without a warning. As usual, I couldn't resist his touch so, I kissed him back.

He broke the kiss and touched his forehead to mine. "You know you are not giving time to your this husband now who always waits for you like a lost puppy," he said pulling me more closer to him by holding my waist.

I threw my hands around his neck "ohh my husband waits for me like a lost puppy, huh?"

He nodded making a sad pout.

"Khushi, let's have another child..this time a boy?" He said grinning like a kid.

I pushed him by freeing myself from him. "First, learn to change the diaper of this baby, then we will think about the second one, okay?" I said giving him a tight smile by patting his cheeks.

Suddenly, he scooped me and placed me on the bed and he layed beside me. "Khushi, I never thought that I would get this much happiness in my life one day," he said looking at the ceiling and then looked at me. "I don't know what I did in my life that God has given me a wonderful person like you as my wife," he added.

"And I never thought in my life that one day I would get married and also have kids," I said looking at him.

He smiled. "Life is full of surprises," he said. "Who thought that one day people who hate each other would get married and their hatred will turn into love," he continued and chuckled.

"Yeah," I placed my head on his chest and hugged him tight. "I just pray our love never changes for eachother. I pray that our love become stronger day by day. I don't want you to get separated from me."

"It will never ever change, baby, and our love will be so strong that no one will be able to separate me from you because you stays In My Heart. You are the queen of my heart," he said pointing at his chest and kissed my head. "And remember, the person who stays in our hearts can never be forgotten nor can be separated from us ."

I nodded.

"I love you a lot,"

"I love you too, baby, more than myself," he pecked my lips.

I never thought that I would get such happiness in my life. I never thought that one day I would also have a loving husband and my own family. It's true, indeed our life is full of surprises, we don't know what god has planned for us. I learnt one thing that is what meant to be yours, will be always yours.
