Hey dear readers, do you all remember this ss. So here is the epilogue of this short story.
Sanskar is sitting in a meeting with laksh on his side. Someone was calling sanskar continuously but his phone was on silent, therefore he didn’t know that someone was calling him. But laksh noticed the caller and his eyes widened.
Laksh (monologue): Now bhai is gone… god ji, protect him.
The caller was getting very angry and it was none other than swara, who was sitting on sofa with angry face and little baby bump. She was 6 months pregnant.
Ragini: Shona… bhai might be busy
Swara (angrily): So busy that he does not even have time for his pregnant wife.
Ragini: Calm down
Swara: no… I will go to his office
Sujata: Shona, you should take rest.
Swara: No ma, I will go and that’s it
Sujata took a sigh as she can’t win from swara. Since she got pregnant, she became more adamant. Her mood swings are very dangerous. Sanskar went to office without meeting swara. Due to her mood swings, she wants sanskar right now and he wasn’t picking up his call.
Ragini: OK shona, if you want to go then you can but I will also come with you.
Swara: Ok
Swaragini sat in the car and left for the office.
Sujata: Sanskar, you are gone.
Soon swaragini reached the office. Swara saw sanskar holding a file and talking with a female staff. This angered her more as since one hour she is calling him and here he is talking with a lady.
Swara (angrily shouting): Mr Sanskar Maheshwari
All the staff stopped working and immediately looked at the owner of the voice who dared to shout at their boss like that. When they saw that it was none other than their boss’s boss, they smiled. The file in sanskar’s hand was falling down but he caught it at correct time and looked at his angry bird….swara.
Sanskar (gulping): Shona
Swara: Where the hell is your dabba phone?
Sanskar: Shona, don’t call my brand new Iphone 10 dabba.
Swara (sarcastically): Really then why were you not picking up my call. Since one hour I am calling you.
Sanskar took his phone out and saw her 58 missed calls.
Sanskar: Sorry shona, I was busy in meeting.
Swara: Go hell with your meeting. You know that I want to see you every morning but you went away without waking me up. huh… don’t know how you became business man of the year.
The whole staff giggles. Sanskar gives a glare to them. Before swara crushes his respect infront of his staff, he picks swara in his arms.
Sanskar (to staff): You guys are getting salary to do work.
The staff immediately resume their work. Sanskar took swara into his cabin.
Laksh goes to ragini, “I feeling pity for bhai.”
Ragini: Don’t worry laksh, in few month you all will be going through this.
Ragini was 1 month pregnant.
SANSKAR’S CABIN
Sanskar put swara on sofa who was having a cute angry pout on her face. Sanskar knelled down infront of her and held her hands.
Sanskar (softly): I am sorry shona but you were having headache yesterday night so I though that I should let you sleep. I didn’t want to disturb your sleep. I could have stayed at home but this meeting was very important for the surprise that I am preparing for you. I am sorry (holds his two ears).
Swara’s heart melted. She holds his hands and nods in a no. Sanskar smiles and sits on the sofa beside him. He hugged her. They were in this hug for few minutes which was broken when sanskar felts his shirt getting wet. He broke the hug and looked at her.
Sanskar (worriedly): What happened shona? (touching her belly) is it paining somewhere?
Swara (sobbing): Sorry sanskar, I shouted at you infront of your whole staff. I annoy you…
Her talks were interrupted by sanskar who put his finger on her lips.
Sanskar: Shhhh (cups her face) pagal ho kya (are you mad) who said that you are annoying, infact I am loving your mood swings. I am loving you more… your cute cute antics, your cravings at nights, your crazy wishes… everything. Understand
Swara wipes her tears and nods in a yes.
Sanskar hugs her again and kissed her forehead. He started stroking her hair. Swara nuzzles her face in his chest. Soon sleep took over her… sanskar’s arms gives her the warmth which a mother gives. She feels protected in his arms.
Swara (whispered sleepily): I love you sanku
Sanskar (smiling): I love you too shonu
Sanskar took the remote which was on the table in front of the sofa. He pressed a button and a gate near one of the shelves slide opened. Sanskar picked swara in his arms without disturbing her sleep. He went inside the room which had a bed. He made this room, in case he has to stay at night and do work or want to take rest but he very rarely used it. Sanskar softy put swara on the bed.
There was landline phone on the drawer beside the bed. He called his pa.
Sanskar (bossy tone): make sure no one disturbs for next few hours
Saying this he cut the call and laid beside swara, hugging her but making sure not hurting the baby.
Like this few days passed but swara’s mood swings were getting dangerous day by day. For example, one midnight… swara has a sudden craving for eating mango pickle. Sanskar picked her in his arms and took her to the kitchen. He made her sit on the slab. He put some pickle in the bowl and gave it to swara.
Swara took the pickle and started eating the pickle as if this is her only work. Not knowing what she was doing to sanskar. Little bits of pickle were sticked near her lips which was tempting for sanskar. He came close to her and cupped her one cheek and kept other on her waist but swara was very busy in eating.
Sanskar wiped the bits with his thumb and started leaning towards her. Swara looked up and saw sanskar leaning towards her while gazing her romantically.
Swara (shouting): MAAAAA!!!
Due to sudden shout sanskar jumped back with a jerk, looking at her shockingly. All of the family members came running to the kitchen. They saw swara eating pickle and sanskar standing far away, keeping his hand on his heart.
Sujata (worriedly): what happened Shona? Why did you shout?
Swara (innocently): Ma, sanskar was not letting me eat pickle
Rp: Seriously sanskar… nothing will happen to her if she will eat the pickle.
Sanskar: No dad, I was letting her eat the pickle.
Swara: Haaawww jhoote (liar) you were coming close to me and was going to…
And before she could say further, sanskar ran and closed her mouth.
Sanskar: Ma, ragini, laksh, dad…. don’t worry… I will handle her.
Swara made a cry face. Sanskar removed his hand.
Swara: See ma, he is again not letting me eat the pickle.
Sanskar: Sorry shona, you can eat pickle… I won’t do anything.
Swara (cutely): Promise
Sanskar (smiling): Promise
Other went away as this happens most of the midnight. Swara put the bowl on the slab and raised her hands, indicating sanskar to pick her up. Sanskar smiled at his kiddo wife. He picked her in his arms, swara snuggled into him and closed her eyes. He went to his room and put her on the bed softly. He closed the door of the room. He kissed her forehead and her belly… slept beside her.
ONE AND A HALF MONTH PASSED…
Nowadays sanskar stopped going to the office and does all the office work from home. One day sanskar was doing work on his laptop. He heard swara murmuring. He lifted his gaze and saw her standing in front the mirror murmuring. He was smiling listening to her talks.
Swara: Haawww… how fat I have gotten. My cheeks have become chubby… what if sanskar stopped loving me as I am fat now. (she pouts)
Sanskar moves towards nad wraps his hands around her baby bump.
Sanskar: I will never stop loving you shona, instead… I am loving my chubby and cute shona. You look like a cute teddy bear.
Swara smiles but frowns later as he called her teddy bear. She turned around.
Swara (angrily): You meant to say that I am fat
Sanskar: Arrey, when did I say that?
Swara: You just called me a teddy bear and they are fat.
Sanskar slaps himself in his mind, “But shona… they are cute also na… you are looking very cute.”
Swara (fake crying): Aaaaaannnn… none of my dresses are fitting me now… I am fat…aaahhnn
Sanskar sighed as he knows that it’s her mood swings. Suddenly he got an idea. He went to the wardrobe an took out his shirt which is XL in size.
Sanskar: Shona, try this shirt… this will fit you
Swara: Not it will not as I am fat
Sanskar: Arrey mera bacha, just try once.
Swara (childishly): Okay,
Swara took the shirt and went into the washroom. After few minutes she came out wearing his red shirt with black leggings. She was having a smile on her face.
Sanskar: See I told you shona that it will fit you. (goes near her and cupped her face) and always remember that I don’t love your body, I love you… your heart… your soul… ok
Swara hugs him, “I love you sanskar.”
Sanskar: I know… and I love you too.
NEXT DAY
It was swara’s godbharai today. She came out of washroom wearing a beautiful lehenga.
Unfortunately, she didn’t pin her dupatta properly therefore she tripped and was going to fall down but sanskar came on time and held her. Sanskar was really scared.
Sanskar (cupping her face): Shona, are you okay… did you got hurt (checks her hand and arms)
Swara: Sanskar…
Sanskar gets moist eyes and hugs her tightly, “Shona… thank go I came on time otherwise… I will not be able to live without you or our baby shona… I…I (choked) will die without you two.”
Swara angrily breaks the hug, “What are you saying sanskar? Are you mad? (keeps her head on his chest) till you are here, nothing can happen to me or our baby because you are here to protect us. And please don’t speak such rubbish… I will tolerate it.
Sanskar: I am sorry.
Swara breaks the hug and wipes his tears with her thumb. Swara signs him bend little down. Sanskar bends his knees. Swara kisses his forehead lovingly making him smile. He also kisses her forehead. He then helps her in getting ready.
Swara: Let’s go.
Sanskar picked her in his arms and proceeded towards the hall.
Swara: Sanskar, what are you doing? What will everyone think?
Sanskar: I don’t care what they think. For me, your’s and our baby’s health is more important.
Swara didn’t protest further as she knows that he will not listen to her. He went downstairs where all the guests were admiring the heavenly couple while some of the ladies were gazing their partner. Soon the function started and all the guests gave different gifts for the baby and swara. At last sanskar came to her with two files in his hand.
Sanskar: Shona, I have two surprises for you.
Swara (excitedly): Surprises… what is it?
Sanskar gave her first file. She opened the file and got moist eyes. She looked at him lovingly.
Swara (emotionally): Sanskar
Laksh: Bhai what you gave that it made her cry.
Swara: My parents’ last memory the house where I spent my childhood, is on my name. And baba’s company is also on my name.
Sujata and ram were proud of sanskar.
Sanskar: Shona, I just gave what was yours. And Mrs. Swara Sanskar Maheshwari… this is our second gift.
He gave her the second file. Swara opened the file and smiled more brightly.
Swara: Sur music school.
Sanskar: It was your dream to have your own music school and teach those kids who are not able to learn due to the finacial problem.
Swara was overwhelmed by his gesture. She stood up and hugged him tightly without hurting the baby.
Swara (sobbing): Thank you sanskar, thank you so much. You are truly an angel of my life…I love you sanskar…I love you
Sanskar breaks the hug and wipes her tears, “Shona… how many time do I have to tell you that no sorry no thank you. And I did whatever a husband and a best friend do.”
Everyone admires their love for each other. Soon the function was completed peacefully.
AFTER 2 MONTHS.
Swara was in her ninth month now and Sanskar started taking care of swara more and finally, the day came where they got their little bundle of joy.
Swara was sitting on sofa with sanskar and watching a cartoon. She started feeling pain in her stomach. She held sanskar’s hand and gripped it tighter. Sanskar turned and saw swara sweating and shivering.
Sanskar (worriedly): Shona.. are you okay…
All family members turned around.
Sujata: It’s time sanskar
Swara (shouting and crying): aaahhhh….maaaa….sanskaaarrr
Sanskar picks her in his arms, “Shhh shona… calm down. we are going to the hospital, don’t panic just calm down.”
Soon they reached the hospital. Swara was taken into the ward. Sanskar sat on the chair.
Sujata: Sanskar, don’t worry.
Sanskar (innocently and sobbing): Ma, it was hurting her a lot. She was crying… and shivering in pain. It must have pained you a lot when I and laksh were born. Ma, I will not plan a second child. I can’t see her in pain.
Sujata shakes her head and looks at him disbelievingly.
Sujata (slightly slapping on his cheek): Pagal (mad) This pain is the pain which every woman wants to feel. This pain is a good pain which gives a new birth to a woman. This is a blessing for women from god. I am happy that you felt the pain.. and see your father..huh
Rp: Oh hello. Mrs Sujatha Ramprasad Maheshwari, you were inside the ward giving birth… how you know that I wasn’t crying. Arrey I was really worried about you.
Sujata makes faces.
Soon swara’s shouting was stopped and they hear a baby crying. Sanskar jumped from the chair happily and hugged sujata and all other family members tightly.
Laksh: Congratulations bhai
A nurse came with the little baby wrapped in blue cloth.
Nurse: Congratulations Mr. Maheshwari, you have a become a proud father of a baby boy.
Saying she forwarded the baby towards sanskar but he was little hesitate.
Sujata: Sanskar… what happened?
Sanskar: Ma, he is so small. How will pick him up? What if he gets hurt?
Sujata: You are fully mad sanskar. Take him.
Sanskar finally takes him in his arms and looked at him. He kissed his forehead.
Sanskar: Welcome to the world champ. I am your father…. your papa.
Laksh: Let him meet his chachu also.
Sanskar gave him the baby.
Sanskar (to nurse): Sister, how’s swara?
Nurse: She unconscious right now and will gain consciousness soon. You are allowed to go in.
Sanskar goes into the ward. He sits on the chair beside the bed. He caresses swara’s hair lovingly. She slowly opened her eyes. She smiles.
Swara: Sanskar, baby…
Sujata coming inside the ward with baby, “He is here shona.”
Sujata gave the baby to swara. Swara got teary eyes seeing her baby. She kissed his forehead.
Swara: Sanskar, our baby
Sanskar: Yes swara… our symbol go love… our champ.
The family goes away to give them privacy.
Swara: See I told you that my little prince will come.
Sanskar: Don’t worry (winking) we will try next time. We will kepp trying till our daughter will not be born in this world.
Swara (shocked): Sanskar, you are so shameless. You have became father now.
Sanskar: So… Madam, even if we become grandparent my love and romance will not change.
Swara looked at him narrowed eyes. Swara was discharged after few days. Finally it was the day of naming ceremony. He was names swaransh by sanskar as he said that he was swara’s ansh. Few years passed and today swaransh was turning 5 years old. Ragini gave birth to twins, one girl and one boy. The girl was named as ragya whereas the boy was named as Luvya.
The maheshwaris organised a grand party for their elder grandchild. Swara was making swaransh and swaransh like a good boy got ready.
Swara (kissing his cheek): My baby, I am really lucky to have you as my son.
Swaransh kissed her cheek, “I am also lucky mamma as I got you as my mumma.”
Swara smiles and kissed his forehead.
Swara: Ok now go to your daadi. I will come downstairs soon. And han, no masti ok.
He nods cutely and runs away from his room. She smiles at his cute little son. She was going to washroom to change but someone held her wrist and pulled her. It was none other than sanskar who was watching and admiring the mother-son duo. He wrapped his hand around her petite waist.
Swara: What is this sanskar? You scared me.
Sanskar: Sorry for scaring you shona.
Swara: Acha, now let me go. I need to get ready.
Sanskar (smirking naughtily): You can but on one condition.
Swara: Which condition?
Sanskar: I want a kiss
Swara widened her eyes, “Sanskar, you are so shameless.”
Sanskar: Arrey, what shameless. You gave kiss to your son then about me.
Swara sighs as their as she know that he will not leave her. Swara tip-toed on her feet and kissed his cheek.
Swara: Happy
Sanskar: No, I am not a kid that you will kiss there. I want it (pointing towards his lips) here
Swara looks down in shyness.
Sanskar (huskily): I am waiting shona
Swara looks at him and closes her eyes making swara smile and admire her. He leans towards her lips and started kissing her. Swara reciprocated to his kiss. The soft kiss turned into passionate one. After few minutes they broke the kiss panting heavily. Swara’s cheeks got red like tomato and hugged sanskar.
Sanskar chuckles as she still shies the same way she used to few years ago. He still has the same effect on her. After few minutes they broke the hug and swara ran to bathroom. Soon she came downstairs beautiful blue coloured gown with diamon earrings and bracelet. Sanskar sensed swara and turned around. He was memorised seeing her.
Laksh: Our birthday boy’s mother has also come so should we cut the cake now.
Swara, sanskar and swaransh stood infront of the 3 storey cake. All three of them cut the cake together. Swaransh fed the cake to his parents first and then to the rest of the family.
Sanskar: Champ, you said that you will ask gift after we cut the cake
Swaransh puts his finger on his chin, pretending to think. Everyone admired his cuteness.
Swaransh: I want one more small sister or brother.
Swara widened her eyes while sanskar looked at swara naughtily.
Laksh: Wah! that’s will be great gift.
Swara’s cheeks were getting red due to swaransh’s demand and sanskar’s naughty gaze on her.
Swara (blushing): Woh…umm… I am feeling thirsty
Saying this she ran away to the kitchen. She stood the keeping one hand on her heart and another on the slab
Swara: God knows what type of demands swaransh asks.
Swara back straightens as two muscular hands were wrapped around her waist. Swara turned around and saw sanskar looking at her. She was locked between the slab and sanskar.
Swara: Sanskar
Sanskar hided his face in her neck and started kissing.
Sanskar: What do you think about swaransh’s demand.
Swara: Sanskar please leave me
Sanskar: No chance. We are swaransh’s parents so we should complete his wish.
Swara: Sanskar, someone will come.
Sanskar looked at her and gave a peck on her lips.
Sanskar (genuinely): Shona, I seriously want our daughter to be born in this world. But don’t worry, I will not do anything till you want.
Saying this he goes away. Swara was feeling lucky and proud of sanskar.
Swara: How to tell you sanskar that I also want out daughter.
Saying this she went back to the hall. Same night swara asked swaransh to sleep with his grandparents and he obeyed her like a good son. Swara went to the room.
Sanskar: Shona, where is champ?
Swara: Woh…he is sleeping with ma and papa
Sanskar: Oh…ok
Saying he was going to sleep but swara held his hand. He turned and looked at her.
Swara (shying): Sanskar… I want to say something
Sanskar: What is it shona?
Swara: Woh….acually…ummm
Sanskar: Shona, why are you hesitating?
Swara hugged him tightly and said, “I am ready to have our second child.”
Sanskar was first shocked and then smiled.
Sanskar (whispering): Really
Swara: Hmm
Sanskar picked her in his arms and lights got off.
After 1 one year…
Swara gave birth to a cute baby girl. She sitting on hospital bed, holding their angel in her arms. Swaransh kissed his little sister’s forehead and said, “Welcome angel”
SwaSan smiled.
Sanskar: Thank you shona, for completing me
Swara: No sanskar, I should say thank you to you for making my life colourful and completing me.
Sanskar: I love you
Swara: I love you too
Swaransh: I love you three
Their angel cries.
All three together, “We love you too angel.”
