EPILOGUE
8years later
She was sitting in her window seat, eagerly waiting for the sun to rise, sleep being the last thing in her eyes as she couldnât wait to see him after whole 8years, he had been sentenced to 10 years imprisonment but was being released today owing to his good conduct in jail, she hadnât seen him for the last 8years, he had denied meeting anyone, even her or mihir. In these 8 years,nothing much had changed, she still loved him like she loved him 8 years ago,she was a reputed pediatric dentist now, mihir had found himself a job in a reputed company and very soon, he started his own business venture which is doing well, mihika and mihir got engaged as she came to know about their relationship, she even asked them to get married but mihir denied getting married without his brother and so, they too had been waiting for ramanâs release. It was a big day not only for her, it was a big day for mihir as well.Her eyes got teary as she finally saw the sun rise and rushed out of the room picking up her car keys, she was already all ready to go and receive him and banged into her appa who too just came out of his room.
Iâappa, you woke up so early?
She asked surprised to which he just kept his hand on her head
AâI knew you would be up by now, letâs go, we have to pick raman
He said making her smile at him, her appa had been her biggest support in this long journey of separation from raman. She hugged her appa thanking him while he just shook his head
Aâdonât thank me kanna, I am your appa and being a father, itâs my duty to support and protect my child, I have only done what any father would have done
Iâno appa, not all parents are supportive like you, you not only understood me and raman, also helped him get a better life, he is out of that hell now, he is a free man today appa, all because of you, thank you so much
She thanked her father again while he just asked her to concentrate on driving now.They reached the jail while mihir too reached there. He took blessings from appa and hugged ishita as both their eyes were set on the gate, waiting for him to show up.
Finally,he stepped out making everyone smile as he approached them with slow steps,overwhelmed seeing the most important people of his life, his family waiting for him. Mihir ran to him and hugged him. He looked at ishita who was still standing there, he opened his one arm for her, calling her to himself. Her eyes got teary at his sight and she ran to him while he hugged both of them very firmly as three of them cried pouring out their pain of separation from the other all these years.
âI missed youâ
He heard ishmi whisper together and just smiled before he parted from the hug and went to appa taking his blessings who blessed him heartily.
Aâfinally you are a free man now son, I am so proud of you
He said taking raman in a hug making him smile in between his tears.
Râall because of you and ishita
He said looking at her, again wrapping his free arm around her making her smile before all of them moved to the iyer house where again, he was welcomed warmly,this time by shravan as well as his little sister kshitija. He settled down while amma served breakfast for them. All were having their breakfast while ramanâs eyes were on ishita only, he was continuously checking her making it difficult for her to eat. He was noticing the little changes in her while she glared at him telling him to stop checking her out like that in the presence of the whole family making him chuckle. Amma looked at appa and signed him something to which he just nodded his head.
AâI have an announcement to make
He said gaining the attention of all.
AâI have decided that ishra and mimi will get married tomorrow itself
He said making all happy though everybody was tensed about the arrangements.
Amâyou donât worry about that kanna, we all will manage everything, and you two just focus on your wedding
Amma assured the brides while raman looked at mihir
Râyou loved her? You never told me
Mihir was mum hearing him when ishita came to his defense
Iâthey had been in love ever since we started seeing the other raman, he just never got a chance to tell you, because of our issues. In these years, I told him many times to get married to mihika and settle down but he never listened to me, telling me he wonât marry without his parent, he canât marry without your blessings, mimi too have waited for you all these years raman, they didnât got their happiness because of us
She said making him get teary as he hugged his brother
Râwhy you did this mihir, you need not wait for me
He said feeling guilty that because of him, his brother kept himself away from happiness while mihir just mumbled
Mâyou are my god bhai, my Lord Rama, how could this hanuman of yours get married without you
He said making all adore their bond with teary eyes. Finally, amma told all to finish it fast and get ready as the marriage functions will begin from today itself. In the evening, a haldi cum mehandi function was organized for the brides as well as grooms. All had a great time applying haldi to the other while during mehandi, boys were sent out so they couldnât see their names getting written on their wivesâ palms. The next day was ishra and mimi wedding,ishita was dressed in a maroon madisaar with lots of jewellery, light makeup,looking perfectly like a tamilian bride while mihika opted for a magenta saree with gold border, both brides looking even beautiful with the glow on their faces while the grooms were sulking, struggling with their veshti making everyone laugh at their expressions. Soon the brides were called in the mandap,amma appa did ishitaâs kanyadaan and ishra took the nuptial vows, raman tied the nuptial chain around her neck and filled her partition making her his wife and after ishra marriage, mimi too got married with ishitaâs parents doing the rituals as mihikaâs parents.
The rest of the day passed in rituals only and finally in the evening, the newlyweds were sent off. Raman and mihir entered the house carrying their brides. Both were about to move to their respective rooms when mihir called raman from behind making him stop and turn at him.
Mâbhai we have got married together but pehle papa aap ko hi banna hai, I want a nephew/niece ASAP.
He said with a teasing smile while mihika told him not to tease ishita.
Râsure chote
He said and again turned to go inside when mihir again called him making him turn
Rânow what?
He asked with an irked face seeing which mihir made a puppy face
MâI just wanted to wish you luck bhai, why are you getting angry
Râsorry chote
Mâall the best bhai
Râsame to you chote
Mâbhai
He again stopped raman as he was about to enter the room with ishita making him turn again
Mâbhai, I was thinking how about having a nephew and a niece together, I mean you guys can have twins na
R âactually,we can have twins and you guys too can have a baby soon, mujhe bhi bade papa banna hai
Both brothers were busy with their shameless talks making ishmi turn red with blush hearing them. Finally when both couldnât take it anymore, mihika smacked mihir gaining his attention.
Miâtheyâll have babies only if you give them privacy budhdu
She said making mihir nod his head in agreement as he finally bid bye to his brother and sister in law and finally, raman entered the room still carrying ishita in his arms and so did mihir.
Raman made her sit on the bed and joined her almost immediately after having latched the door. She smiled seeing that smile on his face as he settled down next to her and pressed his lips on her forehead.
âI love you so much ishita, thank you for becoming the sunshine of my life, for coming into my life and making it worth livingâ
He confessed honestly kissing the back of her palm while she just smiled and rested her head on his shoulder singing her love to him as well. Both stayed in the hug for long till he finally moved his hands to her back and began freeing her of her blouse, she broke the hug and looked away making him raise her face holding her chin making her look at him and as their eyes just got locked together, he claimed her lips for a searing kiss. She wounded her arms around his neck reciprocating the kiss as he kept exploring her mouth like some juicy candy, touching her soul with his love that night, he promised to be with her all his life, respect her, love her and cherish her as his most prized possession till his last breath.
So thatâs all for the epilogue and this story as well
