Epilogue

Here's the epilogue guys!

-5 years later-

I did my morning stretches as I moved on to cooking breakfast. It's been 4 years since we got married, I quit my job as a writer last year because I liked being home, being home meant I get more time to spend with my son and my husband. Sameer is almost three and he's the mini version of Siddharth. We went through a lot when I was pregnant, I almost had a miscarriage and Siddharth stayed home most of the time to take care of me.

He was a different person during my pregnancy, he was very careful with everything I did, he literally carried me from the bed to the toilet, when Sameer was born, Siddharth cried like a baby. He always calls me strong because he was terrified of the difficulty I went through during labour. He wouldn't leave my and Sameer's side during the first month after Sameer's arrival to the house.

He was in-charge of diaper duty and I was surprised to see him do it happily. He can already get the best dad award. I never imagined any of this, sometimes I still wonder if this is all just a dream. I suddenly heard a crying noise coming from the room. I rushed knowing who it was. Rosh. Bhavesh's daughter. Bhavesh and his wife have gone on a short trip and we agreed to take care of her until then and also Sameer loves to play with her.

"Goodmorning baby" I smiled as she sat on the bed crying. Her hair was a mess. I carried her as I straightened out her hair.
"Mommy" she said as her cried slowed down.
"Mommy will come soon, shall we go outside?" I walked out as she wiggled to get down.
"I want to play with the doll" she pointed to the couch.
"Sure baby, breakfast will be ready in a few minutes until then you can play"

"Thank you Avuu" she smiled as she sat down with her toy. I quickly finished up breakfast and checked the time. It was 9:00 and it's a Sunday so Siddharth is still sleeping in. I gave Rosh the breakfast as I sat with her.
"Sameer is sleeping like a baby" she giggled as I wiped the syrup that was dripping from her mouth.
"You are baby too"
"No, I no baby" she said as I laughed.

"Avuu is going to wake up Sameer okay?" Rosh nodded as I got up and went to the room. He was already awake and he was playing with his fingers. He looked at me from the sound and gave me a smile. I swear he looks just like him. I opened my arms as he ran to me and jumped on me.
"Rosh cried yesterday because she thought there were monsters" he said as he leaned on me.

"And what did you do?"
"I fought all the monsters and they ran away, Rosh was happy" he said as I giggled. Kids and their stories. I really love Sameer and Rosh's bond. He takes care of her like a big brother.
"Sit down with Rosh, mommy is bringing breakfast" they started talking some nonsense that I couldn't understand. But they were so adorable.

I then walked to our room. When I entered I saw Siddharth sleeping on his stomach with no shirt on. He always had this habit of removing his shirt in the middle of the night. I went to the bathroom and started filling up the tub with hot water, I badly need a shower. I came out to wake Siddharth up. He still worked in the same school and he comes back home exhausted everyday, sometimes I feel bad for him for being the only provider, I feel guilty for not working and sharing the burden.

"Siddharth" I shook him a little and he groaned. he wasn't a heavy sleeper.
"Goodmorning baby" he murmured and he sat up.
"Morning" I leaned on him and wrapped my arms around his neck, he has bulked up a little now and I love cozying upto him. He wrapped his arms around me and made me sit on his lap. He kissed me on my lips as I giggled.
"How come you don't have morning breath?" I kissed him again.

"I woke up around 4 today, couldn't go to sleep for a long time. So I brushed my teeth and took a shower" he said. I placed my hand on his cheek. Jungkook has been having difficulty in sleeping throughout the night, it started when Sameer was a baby, he would cry a lot during night and Siddharth used to take care of him. This hasn't gone away, the doctors said it's because he's stressed out.
"You could've woken me up, how long were you awake?"
