Love or Revenge

Epilogue (Alternate Universe)

Present Day

A sudden rush of cold wind brought Zoya back to the present. She closed half opened window and went to the portrait of her parents in the living room and said, "Happy Anniversary Papa and Mama... I never thought I would fall in love with some one and he would bring peace to my life and to your soul... Aditya never failed to love me... I know you both are happy there seeing your daughter happy... Aditya and your grandchildren loves you both... If it was not for Aditya and his love, I would have followed you after I took my revenge... Thanks to both of you for sending Aditya into my life papa and mama." Zoya closed her eyes and remembered them.

After Harshawardhan's funeral, Aditya sold the Hooda Mansion and their vacation homes. With that money he bought a villa in Canada and started up a business too and he managed the companies in India from here with Zoya's help. Everything went well for them, Arjun and Grace soon announced that they're going to be parents. Aditya and Arjun took turns to take care of both Zoya and Grace and didn't let them to work or do any households.

Zoya gave birth to a baby boy, and they named him after them. "Adit" from Aditya and "ya" from Zoya. Aditya laughed at the idea, but he loved calling his son Aditya after his own name. Zoya preferred calling him "Adi". After four months, Grace gave birth to a baby boy and they named him, Anjan after their mother "Anjana". Aditya was so happy, on that day, remembering his mother. He equally loved both Adi and Anjan.

Around end of next year when his business was booming, and he was announced as "The Best Businessman of the Year" Zoya gave him another good news, saying that she is pregnant again. Aditya was on cloud nine on that day. He took care of her for the next 9 months like the first time. This time they had a baby girl and they named her "Anjana". Aditya was persistent in naming her "Roshnaq" after Zoya's mother. But, Zoya gave a lame reason like, "Roshnaq Hooda doesn't sound good. Anjana Hooda sounds better".

Aditya agreed but he always calls her Roshnaq at home. Zoya was irritated but soon she found it more calming hearing her mother's name from Aditya. Soon, the years flied like butterflies for them.

"Mumma... what are you doing there... Look Adi is irritating me..." Anjana whined and hugged her leg. Anjana is 8 years old, and Adi is 10 years old. Who came running down the stairs behind her.

Zoya opened her eyes and said, "Adi... don't irritate your sister... Awww baby... what he did this time?" she asked her daughter while picking her up on her waist. "Adi was saying I'm two person that's why I have two names", Anjana said with sobs. Aditya came down with Arjun and Grace followed them. Aditya was smiling at Zoya and when came next to her, he kissed her lips quickly and said, "You look more beautiful in this dress". Zoya smiled back. And then he gave pecks on both of his children cheeks.

To her daughter Aditya said before Zoya could reply, "Adi... you're our favorite but Anjana is very special to all of us... that's why she has two names. And from now on, I want you to be a responsible brother and to take care of your sister. You should protect your sister and be there as a shield for her. I hope you understand, Adi."

Adi nodded and said, "Papa... I'm sorry... I'll responsible and protect her..." Anjana got down from her mother and stood in front of Adi and said, "No... I'll protect my brother... I'll not let anyone to harm him..."

Aditya whispered to Zoya, "Now you understand why I wanted to keep your mother's name... She is just like you..." Zoya smiled, and Aditya said to Anjana, "Yes baby... You're the best... I Love you, baby..." Anjan who came down running and hugged both his uncle and aunt. "Good morning, Uncle and Aunty" he said. While he grabbed breakfast from the plate, "Good morning, Anjan... You're late again..." Zoya said.

"Aunty... Can you please tell mumma not to beat me in the morning... today she beat me again for waking up late..." Anjan said innocently. Zoya looked at Grace. Arjun said, "Anjan enough, buttering your aunt... You're getting late..." Anjan gave a sheepish grin and said, "See Aunty... even papa thinks I'm buttering you... Please tell them I your favorite cousin..." Zoya laughed and said, "Yes, of course you're, Anjan... Gracie... don't trouble my boy..." with a mocking grin and Grace smiled. 

Once they had their breakfast and headed to the car. Zoya said, "As you know today is my parent's Anniversary... If you all could come early in the evening we can all have a small party and dinner..." Arjun and Aditya nodded. Arjun said, "Bhabhi... Today I have took half a day. And I'll buy things that requires for the dinner party... Also, I'll help you decorate the house once I'm back..." Zoya thanked him but he said, "Bhabhi... We're family... You don't need to thank me... I'm happy to help you on Uncle and Aunty's Anniversary".  Zoya could argue back to him on that.

Then, Arjun said that he'll drop the children in school before going to his law firm. Aditya waited for the children to get into the car and turned to Zoya. "I'll be back on time... I Love you... Baby..." Aditya said in low tone. Zoya swayed and said, "I Love you, Aditya..." then he kissed her passionately on her lips. Once they broke their kiss, Aditya said, "So, I'm coming home early I hope we could manage time to make love..." When Zoya looked around with astonishment, he continued, "I can't wait to get back to you and to be with you... " Zoya blushed and couldn't hide her embarrassment as she knew Grace would have heard word to word what Aditya has said. So, she shoved him towards his car while saying, "It's getting late... get into the car..."

Arjun's car just moved out of the parking space and Aditya said goodbye to both and left to his office. Grace, who heard the everything, slowly came next to her and nudged Zoya on her hand. "Jijju, is still madly in love with you..." she said in mocking tone. 

"I do too love him madly. We both are in unconditional love for each other... that's our secret for our happiness and tension free life... We both embrace each other and make love too... and I always want him to be there next to me till my last breath... without him I'm nothing, Gracie... When this all started, I never thought I would fall in love with someone hard and fast. And most of all I never thought I would get my revenge and my love, my life and my Aditya."

The End.
