epilogue

" Aseem , you would be the king when I marry you."
" I don't want to be a king."
" Why?"
" I don't deserve that. And I don't know anything about that."
" But --"
" listen, I only want you to be the queen."
" But a queen also needs a king right?"
" Who said that? A queen is a queen. With or without a king."
" But I want you to be next to me."
" I will always have your back. And for that I don't need to be next to you. I know that you can handle all that by yourself. I will support you. Always. "
" And I like what I do. I like building structures and sculptures. So that throne you see , it's only yours."
She smiled.
" So how is my father in law?"
" He is better." She chuckled and replied.
" Nervous?"
" Never."
" As expected."
Aseem smiled and zoned out.
" Aseem?"
" What?"
" What's going on that very sharp mind of yours? Tell me right away."
" Nothing I was just asking about your grandfather."
" He has to understand. He can't do anything even if he wants to. "
" Just be careful okay?"
" I know. But he can't do that anymore to me! I am not going to tolerate anything anymore Assem. Whatever he does, I will back fire it on him and whatever he does -- I don't care --"
" Yes yes I know, calm down princess."
" I will show him how good I can handle everything."
" I am sure you will "
She went silent
" What?"
" Will I be good enough?"
" Good enough? Good enough for what?"
" As my father . He is so great as a king. And me -- I already lost their respect even before becoming a queen."
" It's nothing like that. You are going to be a great queen. And who needs perfection? Perfection is boring."
She smiled.
" Do you remember the time when I was pretending to be Agastya, and you said to me that you would be appreciated only when you are perfect?"
" Yeah"
" That's not true. I said it the last time and I am saying it again. It doesn't matter. You are perfect to me. I believe that you would do great!"
" I love you."
" I love you too."
They kissed in the empty royal court.
" Have you ever tried doing it in a royal court?"
" Aseem!"
" Just joking "
She laughed.
" Or am I....?"
" Aseem!"
" Look, no one's there. It's empty, it's just us."
" What is going on with you huh?"
" Just love."
" Love? All of a sudden? I thought you wanted to break up with me."
" How long are you going to tease me with that?"
" As much as your stupidity was."
" What did you just say?!"
" Did I say anything? I don't think so."
" Safeena--hey!"
She started running away from him. He ran behind her and got a hold of her. He lifted her on his one shoulder grabbing her waist.
" Hey keep me down!"
" Tell me what you said earlier!"
She started laughing.
" Safeena--"
" Nothing, I said how intelligent you are ."
" Really? You ,liar."
She laughed with him.
He kept her down against the wall , placed his both hands just beside her ears on the wall.
" What's on your mind today?"
" I want you "
" You have me "
" Not like this."
" Then?"
" I want the whole you."
" Whole me? What do you mean?"
" Come on girl, you know what I mean."
" Aseem look around "
" I can just see you. Right now I only think about how great it would be when I have you all to myself right there in the middle of this royal court, kiss every part of you and when someone finds us, they won't think that it's something wrong, they would wish that they were us."
She was breathing heavily. With him lingering around her neck.
" Aseem "
" Safeena "
" Aseem "
" Yes? "
She giggled.
" So? What's the date?" He asked her.
" Date? " She looked clueless.
" Safeena , the date "
" Date for what ?"
" Safeena!" He moved away from her.
" What happened?" She was still clueless.
" Aseem!" And then she realised that he was talking about the wedding date.
" You asked me what date !" He said.
" You caught me off guard!"
" Safeena don't give me reasons."
" Aseem, I was not thinking -- Aseem come on, don't -"
" Fine , then, let's do whatever I said earlier "
" You -- you are so sly." She smirked.
" Excuse me " someone came into the royal court.
" That's what I was saying " she whispered in his ears looking at his frown face.
" Yes?"
" Your guests have arrived."
" My guests? Who? "
" Your guests from Hastipur."
" They are not guests, they are family. Don't forget."
" I apologise your highness."
" We will be there." She said and the guard left.
" Let's go then "
" After you, your highness."
" Highness?"
" Don't get so used to it. Highness only when we are here. Inside those rooms its --"
" Stop talking!" She blushed.
" What, hear the rest!"
" Aseem! Let's go see your brother. "
" How can you think of my brother in between of this? You have a talent to spoil my mood."
" Shut up and follow me."
" As if I wasn't."
" What?"
" Nothing, after you my highness."
" Stop calling me that !"

As they were going to see his brother and Veera , Safeena 's father got hold of them.
" I suppose you didn't hear "
" What?"
" Your grandfather is leaving and building his own mansion right in front of the palace for him to stay."
" Seriously?!"
" Yes , he informed me that from now onwards he would take his teachings there and no one can enter his mansion from here."
" Oh god."
" But don't you worry about that I just came here to tell you. He hasn't tell accepted the fact that you are going to be sitting on that throne."
" That's alright. Let him do whatever he wants unless he is not getting in my way."
" Good "

Soon , Safeena was crowned as the Queen of their Kingdom. Aseem stood strong with her. Alfez and Veera finally got there love story started. Everything was fine again. A happy ending. A happy family.
