EPILOGE

Happy reading..!


It was a Saturday morning, When a tiered Bani woke up from the bed, she reached out at her mobile which was placed on the side table, it read, Six-thirty AM, "Chalo uth jati hu" She looked over the empty space beside her on the bed, "I miss you so much Veeranshu," she unlocked the phone to put  off  her alarm app, which would ring in other thirty minutes. 

After her brief morning routine, she went into Vani's room to wake her up for her school, She sat on her bed caressing her hairline, "Vani, utho beta"

"Mamma.." she cuddled herself more into bani, she hugged her mom laying her head on her  mother's lap, circling her hands around Bani's waist. "I don't want to go, please!" and instantly she had tears in her eyes, "arry, roh kyu rahi ho, teek hai don't go, anyway aaj Saturday hai, ok," she kissed her forehead," dont stress too much"

"Chalo ab chodo, let me see your shaitan bhais" bani chuckled making vani smile. "Hmm" Vani hmmed moving away.

"lekin uth jaou, get freshed, aur me haldi ka dudh garam karti hu and a hot water bag for your pain" 

"Ok maa" Bani looked at Vani, she was in pain from her periods, Vani was 16 years old now, and she had her first periods just three months back, and Vani was not yet used to the killing pain she had to go through. 

The time flew is zoop, VAni were married for seventeen years now, They had a family of their own, Viha, Vasuki and Vaishnav. and also Radha had her babies long years back, and her two puppies along with her still stayed with them, Radha was growing old too, Vani had named one puppy as  cookie and the other male puppy was named by the bothers, "Garud" god knows why that name, But with Vasuki and Vaishnav, Bani had a beautiful explanation for that, "Veer, mujhe Bolhenath pasand hai tume Vishnu bhagwan, and as you like to call yourself as 'Cheel', tho lets name them after our favorite deity's, Well Vasuki is the snake that Bolenaath has around his neck, and vaishnav is vishnu. Hai na? kya kehete ho?" 

And veer had like always loved for her thoughtfullness, and its good to have names with a definite meaning for it, "Aur isi bahane, baar baar bhagwaan ka naam bhi le lenge, like we named Radhe with the same intention!" Bani had reasoned further. 

Well right now, the twins were nine years old, going to school, they were in third grade, life did change for them, Bani had to quit her high profile job in Mathur's and company and had joined Mercury, the singhanias family business, she was offered a CFO job role, not because she was  a family, but looking at her performance history. Balwanth did come around Bani, He did take her as his daughte-in-law. They had bonded well, not too well, yet at least they didn't act as strangers in each others life now. That relationship status was changed immediately after Viha was born.

Bani headed down towards the kitchen after waking up her shaitan boys, Vaishnav was as naughty as Veer and Vasuki was practical and calm like her. They exactly lived upto their names or the names that they were named after.

Vasuki came down all drenched, "Mamma.." he cried, "Vaish ne pani pheka phir se"

"Nai ma, jhut bolra hai, me tho abhi bathroom gaya bhi nai, abhi jana hai" 

" Mamma sachi jhut nai balraha"

"Shaanth shaanth," she sighed, it was really hard to maintain the three plus three kids all alone, she could have moved back to Singania mansion after Veer left. A lone tear dripped from her right eye. " Mamma App, nai tum ro rahi ho?"

bani wiped her tear and smiled," bilkul nai" she kissed Vasuki's forehead, "Jaou pehele dress  chage karo, sardi lag jayegi"

"Papa ko miss karrahi ho?"

"Yes!" she looked back at him, the boys had his eyes," ab jaou, school ke liye der hojayega"

Vani dragged herself downstairs lazily and layed on the couch, she had closed her eyes, but that didnt last long, she felt a tight frim hand carssing her forehead, as she drowsily opened them, her eyes filled with new energy. They had a shining light like morning dew, before she could screm her mouth was closed with thw same hands," surprise math bigado princess" 

Finally, Veer was back from his stupid film shoot, he was abroad for more than a month now, and now he is here, aging backwards. 

Seeing him vani clung herself into his arms and tears were flowing restlessly. 

"Missed you so so much papa," she sniffed, "Mamma's a gone case without you, please unse pehele millo," 

" Uhh, i knew you loved mamma more than me"

Vani rolled her eyes, "you know whom i love more" she pushed him, "but abhi jaou"

***

Veer entered the kitchen to see Vasuki on the table standing beside bani stirring something bani had instructed him to, and Vaish was on his high table, sipping his favorite boost. Veer silently went inside and Vaish saw him, he was excited as much as any other kid would be, but he knew his father was here for their mother, Veer bumped his fist to Vasih, Vaish silently hinted something to Vasuki and vasuki ad followed him without complaining.

"Lagta hai mamma mujhe miss nai karti, kyu radhe?"  Veer said to gain her attention speaking to Radhe who layed there on her mat.

Bani turned around dropping whatever she was upto, "Veer" that came out as a whisper, she ran towards him jumping into his arms. "I hate you, I  hate you so so much Veer" she cried hard.

"dikta hai dikta hai" he held her even more closer.

"kal se tumara phone switch off araha tha, pata hai me kitna dar gayi thi" she clung herself more into him, if possible she would just attach herself to him.

"kyu ki m e flight me tha na sweetheart," ughhh that name, 

" I love you" she attached her forehead to his.

As they stood wrapped in each other's embrace, the distance they had between them all these days just minimized away like snow under the warm sun. He was back finally, to her. 

She tilted her head up to look into his eyes, her gaze filled with affection and gratitude. "I love you," he whispered, his voice soft but carrying the weight of her emotions.

They stayed like that for a moment, basking in the warmth of their love, each heartbeat syncing with the other's. Nothing else mattered in that moment except for the two of them, entwined in a cocoon of love and understanding.

Finally, with a contented sigh, they pulled back slightly, still holding each other close. The worries of the past melted away, replaced by a renewed sense of connection and commitment.

As they walked towards their kids, they couldn't help but smile at the sight of Vasuki and Vaishnav Helping their sister with hot water bag, and talking to her. And side by were their furry babies ; Cookie and Gaud playing together.

All the three looked up, eyes bright with excitement, Vasuki and Vaishnav  ran to greet their parents. With hugs and kisses exchanged all around, the family came together, united in love and happiness.
And so, their story continued, filled with cherished memories, shared adventures, and the enduring bond of family. With each passing day, their love grew stronger, anchoring them through the storms and celebrating the sunshine of life.


Together, they were unstoppable, a testament to the power of love and the beauty of a happy ending.
