Daraarein: MaAn (After Samar's Death)

EPILOGUE

Everything was on track

Baa bapuji vanraj and kavya were settled in their respective lives and came back to track
Paritosh n kinjal shifted US n were struggling a bit to manage everything
Anupama would call them daily n talk for sometime

Dimple had gone to her maternal house till her delivery atleast, for a change of environment

Barkha n Ankush were not very comfortable with the increasing crowd of Kapadiya mansion and neither liked Gk's arrival so Anuj took the opportunity and bought them a flat in a rich societal complex which Barkha couldn't deny so she shifted there.

Adhik wasn't really comfortable living in Kapadiya mansion w/o his sister so he shifted on a rented flat nearby with Pakhi.

Pakhi and Barkha started their own fashion boutique n were busy in it ,though they took a loan from Anuj
Anuj happily gave too as he preferred peace over money

The culprit's father did his best to save his son but couldn't keep him out for long. He was ultimately punished

~

Anupama rested upto healing for some weeks.

Romil insisted on staying until anupama became normal as he was the only one she would be actually expressive to.

She didn't let Anuj go that day but the cracks were there. She wasn't ignoring him anymore but was quite conserved. She freed him from all accusations abt Samar and apologized for her behaviour
Anuj was contended to live in this somehow sorted terms! Atleast she was talking to him!
He was facing a tough time. Managing everything wasn't easy

Malti Devi took the responsibility of the dance academy and grew a strong bond with Choti Anu too! She took care of her n her mom! Whenever Anuj was in office she would stay in Anupama's room and talk to her cook her food .
They would discuss on dance, the classic mudras, how the new generation teachers are not taking it seriously,the best forms n a lot more things
Anupama would sometimes cry in her lap missing Samar

Anuj was somehow relieved by malti's help, the ladies would take care of choti's studies n homework. Still he would wake her up n get ready everyday and drop her to school. He also took care of her projects n special assignments which were more visually based. All the food was prepared by the staff except Anupama's as Anuj would prepare it himself whenever home. Just his love language!N anupama would know it too,just by the taste.

Moreover also because once she had accidentally chewed a whole red chilli that was put in by the staff for tadka. She was ok but Anuj was haunted by the flashes of the night when after Samar's death, her eyesight being intact, she was watching his pictures n videos and chewing many chillies.
That day was a nightmare for him.

They would have their evening tea together in silence on their balcony couch when choti n malti were in academy
Gk due to his old age was less active n remained either in his room or in the temple
Anuj used to take her to the doctor regularly for check ups

Mukku arrived very late almost after a few weeks..typical mukku-ness. Mukku added life to their dull lives

One day Anuj n mukku  were in the living room n watching Ind v/s Pak match . Anuj was completely engrossed in the television and had switched off his phone.
Anupama was in the room n felt that she got her period

She told the ai to call Anuj but his phone was off, she tried mukku's . She didn't respond either

Dono k dono bai ben pagal hain ekdum !ek khel hi to hai...par inka bas chale to tv k andar ghus jaaye
She sighed
She tried again n mukku received in frustration
