Epilogue

"The Aryan Singh Rajvansh performed his final show of the tour today. His sixth album is the biggest till now and all his fans have hoarded the stadium. His success has only increased over the years and the last time he credited it all to his wife."

I think my wife brought me all the luck I needed. She is such an important part of my life and has always supported me through everything and I have to be the happiest man alive.

"That was what Mr. Rajvansh had to say when asked about his wife. Such a gentleman. However he cut his concert short today, we don't exactly know the reason but it's said that he had to leave for a personal emergency. We'll keep you all updated." The reporter cut the news short as she saw the stadium start getting empty. His fans loved the concert but they couldn't do the press meet with their favorite rockstar after it was over. A little disappointed, they all left the arena.

Aryan on the other hand, was sweating in his seat. He is around an hour away from his destination and the time seems to be swallowing him up. He asks the driver to go a little faster while his anxiety increases.

"Where the fuck is he? I swear mom, I will kill him." Ruhanika screamed at the top of her lungs while her mother in law just wiped sweat from her forehead. Ruhanika is in labor. And if her husband doesn't get here in time for their child's birth then she definitely will kill him. Her water broke a day earlier than the due date but that is not it. Her husband isn't here and while she is in pain all of this seems like his fault.

It's his baby afterall.

Everyone in the family is here. Except for dadi and Abhimanyu. He just turned four a couple weeks ago and children that young aren't allowed in the hospital. Dadi stayed back at the house with her great grandson.
Aryan isn't here either and Ruhanika's patience is running thin. Just then the door opened and in came a scared Aryan. He was worried he will miss his child's birth but he was terrified of his wife. She hasn't liked him much in the last few months.

Hormones.

"Ahh, there he is. Fucking finally. Where were you? This is your baby and you were out there doing God knows what?"

"I was at the concert Ruhi. Don't you remember?" Aryan went closer to her and held her hand.

"I am sorry. I love you Aryan, I do. But all this seems like your fault right now so ignore everything I say." Ruhanika smiled at her husband but gripped his hand tighter when she felt another contraction. She was now in active labor and was ready to give birth. Aryan's mother left, as only one person could stay with the patient other than the medical staff.

After forty minutes of labor, alot of screams and death threats later, the Rajvansh family welcomed their second grandchild. The baby was born healthy and was taken away for cleaning. Aryan was continuously thanking Ruhanika and telling her how much he loved her. Ruhanika in return just gave him a tired smile and let him kiss her all over her sweaty face.

They finally had their child. A healthy baby. The family was extremely happy. Aryan and Ruhanika lost a child around a year and a half ago, when Ruhanika had a miscarriage. As hurt as the whole family was, life goes on. Both mourned their lost baby everyday and will probably continue to do it. But now they have another responsibility. Their child, who deserves their attention and all their love.

Ruhanika was shifted to another room and everyone was allowed to meet her only after she had gotten enough rest. The whole family congratulated the couple and everyone gushed over the little bundle of joy that was asleep in Ruhanika's arms.

Ahaan Singh Rajvansh.

The second born of the generation and Aryan and Ruhanika's son. He had his mother's black eyes and his father's black curls. His nose was just like that of his grandfather's and he had everyone wrapped around his tiny little fingers.

Aryan and Ruhanika came back home three days later with their son. Abhimanyu was happy to see his brother. He was a quite kid and kept to himself much like his father. But the second he saw his chachi enter he ran towards her and hugged her legs with his little hands. Ruhanika bent down and kissed his cheeks.

Aryan then bent down with Ahaan in his arms to show Abhimanyu what his little brother looks like. Abhimanyu was happy when Ahaan held his fingers with his tiny hand even in his sleep. The family then moved inside the house and the baby and his parents went to rest.

******

"As news suggests, Aryan Singh Rajvansh and Ruhanika Aryan Rajvansh, welcomed their first child. That was why Mr. Aryan had to cut his concert short. We wish both of them all the happiness with their child. Stay tuned for more updates."

Aryan shut the TV off and looked at his family. His wife, his son, his nephew, his parents, grandparents, uncle and aunt, and his bhabhis. His brothers were standing with him and looking at their family too. All three of them have come a long way. From being single and not ready to mingle, to being parents. "You're next Ayaan." Aryan patted his twins shoulder indicating how it's his turn to be a father now.

Ayaan has thought about it. He thinks about it everytime he looks at his bhaiya and now at Aryan. Just then Abhimanyu runs towards them and pulls at his father's pants. Advitya smiles at his son, picks him up and the little guy hugs his father and then within ten minutes falls asleep. For anyone who says boys are closer to their mother, Advitya and Abhimanyu surely prove them wrong.

Ayaan wants a kid too, but only when Swadheenta is ready. He is happy with her. And they have a long time to think about kids.
