Second Wife, Second Love.

49. Epilogue-I.

***Ramya's POV.***

***Five Years Later***

"Do you like it?" I ask Siya.

"Not more than Chachi." She says.

"Aww! Oh my gosh, how am I still alive after the way your cuteness attacked me?" I ask.

"Chachi." Siya says.

"What?" I ask.

"I love you." She says and hugs me.

"Okay, now I can't stop. I have to give you a million kisses." I say and kiss her cheeks like a thousand times as she giggles.

"I will row this Mumma." She says, then bites her tongue, "Show."

"Sure, my baby." I say and off she goes to get approval from Mayra if she can keep the teddy bear, which is even bigger than her height.

"Now where is my Vanu?" I ask as I look for him.

I already know he is hiding behind the couch waiting for his gift, which I bought for him from Paris. Arlo got married, and I had to attend it alone. Obviously, Kate and Aisha were there, but they had their better half while my better half was here, wrapping up a major deal.

"Oh-ho! Now I have to give this drawing book and journal to someone else." I say.

"No, Chachi." A soft and low voice says, and then Shravan rushes to my side.

"So there you are, my dear Vanu." I say and grab his hand and pull him in for a tight hug.

"Gifts?" He asks.

"I am not giving it away, just like. My rewards first, then I will think about it." I say.

He thinks for a second then kisses my cheek, "Enough?"

"Aww! One more, please." I say, giving my other cheek and he kisses that too.

"Enough?" He asks again.

"Never." I say, but give him his gifts.

"Best Chachi." He says with a big smile and runs off to show the gift to his mother.

"My turn." Veer says with a boxy smile.

"Well, I forgot to bring a gift for you, dear." I say with a pout.

"Oh!" He says sadly then cheers up, "No worries. My Chachi came home safe, so I am happy."

"Oh, my Veer! How can I forget to bring a gift for my first baby? Here." I say, and he gets excited.

"I knew Chachi won't forget to bring gifts for me. It's a bookmark of the Eiffel Tower." He says with a wonder.

He has become quite a reader nowadays.

"And here. But don't eat this in one go and share it with your siblings and your friends." I say, giving him a box of French chocolates.

He runs off to show that to Mayra, too. I sigh and turn to Mom, who looks at me with a smile.

"Ramya, I wanted to talk to you about something." She says.

"Yes, Mom." I say.

"Isn't it time for you to try having your own kid? Don't take me for wrong. But it's about time. I know you didn't have kids so that Siya and Shravan could get the attention that they needed and also the time this family needed before having another grandchild. But they have grown up enough now. So you can try having your own child. Because every time those kids run away to show their mother the gifts you bring for them, I see a certain sadness in your eyes." Mom says and takes my hand in hers.
