Epilogue

(Not edited)

Siya's POV:

It's been ten days since the incident, but still I kept clinging onto Arjun like his second skin. My baby girl was scared as hell, she started behaving cranky and cried for everything. Arjun and I was so worried about her health and behavior. Arjun was so keen about not letting Ariya experience any sort of psychological problems he went through.

He was very patient and handled Ari and I with so much care. Right then, we three were in our bedroom, I was staring at the ceiling placing my head on Arjun's arms. I slightly tilted my head to look at my husband, he was staring at me intently. I looked for my daughter, she was inside Arjun's T-shirt, peeping her head out of his neck line and sleeping peacefully.

That was a great idea!

I lifted his T-shirt slowly crawling inside it, I hugged him tight feeling his heartbeat. It felt utterly safe and happy close to my husband.

"Siya..." He called me.

"Hummmm!" I hummed in response.

"I'm sorry." Told Arjun. I know he was guilty for not being with us on the right time. But he made it, he saved us. He was the best husband in the world.

"Arjun... Let's go somewhere...away from all these mess for a while. Only you, me and Ari. It should be our time. Let's relax and come back. What do you think?" I asked him. We need a break... A break from everything.

"That's fine Siya, but you need rest, your body is still weak." Told Arjun.

"My mind need rest more than my body husband, please take me out somewhere. Please..." I pleaded him. He sighed and kissed my forehead.

After two days Arjun, Ari and I traveled to Maldives. Finally my baby girl started to come out of her shell to her normal self and was so exited to explore the new land. Arjun had a mansion there and a private beach. My husband was filthy rich but he was always humble, he never show off his wealth that was the main thing I love about him.

It was around five in the evening, both daddy and baby were playing in the water. I removed my slippers and walked on the sand loving the feeling beneath my foot. When my toe touched water, I sat right there and laid down after a while.

I laid on the seashore, making the waves hit my body and relishing the feeling. "Chiyaaa..." Ari ran to me and sat on my stomach. I started playing with her. She was looking so cute in her swim suit while I was still in my kurti, I wasn't comfortable with any swimsuits even though only my husband is around me.

I leaned my back on Arjun's chest and told him "Everything is over Arjun, we don't have to fear anymore. We can live a normal life like any other couple. " Arjun circled his arms around me and mumbled " I love you."

After fifteen days we came back to Chennai, things started falling onto places. Arjun had to go to his office to conpansate his absence for days. While I was busy with Ari, my dad didn't want to leave us alone after what happened so he shifted to our mansion.

Arjun was so happy to have my dad with us, he feels a elder presence is required for any family to lead them in a good way and help them understand life.

Well, Shaktivel he realized his mistake after Aarti's death and converted all the properties in Nallorpuram to my husband's name which rightfully belongs to him. Shaktivel accepted all his crime and surrendered to the police.

It was strange that how some significant incident in our life was capable of changing our life upside down, Arjun met me and he changed himself for me, Aarti committed suicide making Shakti transform to a man who repents for his mistake. He even apololagized to Arjun for his crime but Arjun wasn't ready to forgive him. And I didn't had any rights to convince Arjun regarding this matter.

Sanjana Akka and Surya were blessed with a baby boy Rithvik, he was such a cutiepie they were so happy with him. Kavya was having a great time with her little brother.

Ari started nagging us for a brother or sister to play with her, Arjun was so delighted and never miss any chance to make me blush, we decided to expand our family and tried for another baby.

It's been a year, but still I couldn't conceive another baby, with no option left we consulted a doctor. She dropped bomb in our happy life that I couldn't conceive again because my utres has gone weak, and my eggs were damaged due to the high electric waves I was exposed during that aweful day by Ajay.

My whole world collapsed, we were so happy but God had to give us another problem to make us suffer. Arjun was equally hurt and disappointed but he didn't show that on his face and always supported me.

On the other hand, I was a crying mess. Every time Ari asked me for a brother I cried. Arjun was so frustrated one day and he yelled at me " Just stop it Siya, it's not that we can't become parents. We have a baby, our Ariya. I don't want any other baby in our life. Is it clear, I don't want you to cry on this matter anymore. Stop killing me with your tears. " with that he left the place.

I started to distant myself from him, I know he was in pain, but I needed time to fit into reality. One of my friend recommended an Ayurveda treatment, I tried it. It was all about changing our food habits, natural handmade medicine and yoga.

Naturopathy has got it's good effect on me and finally I was capable of giving another baby for my husband. Arjun always wanted kids but he buried his wishes for me and my happiness.

On the other hand, I needed baby. At least two, to make my husband happy, anything for my Arjun. I put Ari to sleep, and dressed in a red sleeveless nightie. I waited for Arjun, my room door opened, he walked to Ari's crib kissed her and went into the restroom directly not even sparing a look at me.

I knew he was hurting himself by avoiding me, but stop worry Arjun, I would fix things soon.

He changed to his night pant and stepped into the bed shirtless like always. He laid flat facing the ceiling. I coughed to gain his attention, he looked at me, actually scanned me from head to toe. Sighing heavily he took his mobile and started to scroll something.

I was so hurt with his behavior, so I got up from the bed and went to the adjacent room, I laid on the bed and wiped my tears. Next moment I was carried by a heavy arms and I was back in our room.

"What is your problem women, I know you want me to make love to you. And I'm longing for you but you know, at the end when you get your periods you'll be disappointed for not having a baby. What's wrong with you Siya. I just want you and Ari, I don't want any other baby. Stop worrying about it. " with that he wiped my tears.

"Arjun.... I promise, I'll not cry for baby anymore. I just miss you and I want you." I told him in a breaking tone.

"You are an idiot! " with that he claimed my lips. And we started making love, I really missed him so much.

Days passed and we were having a great time with each other, Arjun gave me many surprise dates, gifts but Ari she kept nagging me for a brother. "Mommaaa... All ave buother, Ari want." Told my baby.

"Don't worry my baby, soon you'll have a brother or sister. I promise." I told and hugged my daughter close to my heart.

Lately I started feeling nauseous and giddy at the same time and I missed my periods as well. I asked my dad to take care of Ari and visited the hospital.

My daughter gave me a most delighted news that I was pregnant for the second time. I hurried to my mansion and there I saw Ari sitting on Arjun's lap in our room. They were playing something.

"Where have you been Siya?" Asked Arjun.

"Ari, can you please draw me a peacock." I requested my daughter. She got down from Arjun's lap exited and started to draw in her drawing book.

I sat on Arjun's lap and closed my eyes leaning my back on his chest. He stroked my hair and asked me "Are you OK wife? You look tired."

"Arjun, I'm pregnant." I made him touch my tummy with his hands and his reaction was priceless.

After four years:

"Momma...hummmhuh.." Cried my little boy hugging my legs from behind. He was so small as if like a baby mushroom. I lifted him in my arms.

"Why are you crying baby?" I asked him.

"Eyes open, Akka no...mommy no...athu fear." He cried snuggling his face on the crook of my neck.

Athul Khaleja, my two and a half years old son, the Prince charming of my house and Ari's life. My daughter love him beyond earth and my husband his world started revolving around me and our two babies.

Athul was a carbon copy of Arjun, he looks exactly like him the only difference between them was Arjun's beard. My husband heart swells with happiness and proud whenever people commented that Athul takes after Arjun. But Athul, he loves me more than his dad and sister.

"I was making chappati for you baby, it's your favorite isn't it? Come sit." I made him sit on the table. He showed his baby teeth and smiled melting my heart, Athul loves chapatties.

He took some flour in his small delicate hands and help me dusting the dough. I kissed his cheek and he was keenly watchung me spreading the dough flat.

"Momma... Is breakfast ready? I'm getting late for school." Told my daughter.

She was in her first grade and very punctual just like her dad. She scores first in her class and also good in sports.

"I made your favorite chilly chicken Ari, just two minutes. " I stirred the curry with the spatula.

Arjun entered the kitchen with Ari's school bag "I'm ready heartbeat." He saw Athul and lifted him in his arms " My sapota, you woke up so early." He kissed Athul's cheeks making him giggle.

"Dady...I no sapta.. I Ahul." Told my baby boy. "You may grow old and become a grandfather but you are always my sapota." Told Arjun and started tickling him.

"Momma... Feed me fast. I'm getting late to school." Yelled my daughter. I fed her her food and she loved the chicken.

She bid her bye to us and Athul started crying as usual. "No..go Akka.. Play me.. Ahul... No..go..aaah aha aha...."

"Athul, baby Akka will come choon, we will play in the evening. Don't cry pleage. " told Ari and left with Arjun.

Arjun dropped her in school and left to office after kissing me. My boy was sitting on the couch looking utterly sad, he loves Ari so much and he didn't want her to leave him even for a second.

I took his food in a plate and sat next to him, I tied feeding him a morsel " Ahul no pood.. Akka no here."

"Mmmmm.... This chappati and chilly chicken is so yummy, just like the way my baby loves it." I moaned and eat a morsel.

He licked his lips and looked at me, I somehow started feeding him his food. He forgot his sister for a while and started eating happily, I ate the left over along with my food.

Athul started playing with the maids, Arjun called thrice to talk to him and their talks were endless. He should stay home rather going to office, I meant what was the use?

Around four, Arjun came home along with Ari. Athul and Ari started playing. I made dinner for my family. Arjun and both my kids loves only my food so I couldn't hire cook for them.

After dinner, I put my children to sleep in the adjacent room with conjoint door from our room and fell on my bed exhausted.

Arjun sat on the conner of my bed and started massaging my legs " What are you doing?" I asked him. "I'm just helping my wife relax. She is our soul, she lives for me and my children, so it's duty to take care of her. Because I love her so much." Told Arjun.

I went close to him and kissed his lips, he made me lean on his shoulder and we remained silent for few golden minutes.

"Siya, come with me, you'll love it." Arjun dragged me to the balcony there we saw full new moon. It was so beautiful, we sat there gazing the sky.

"Ari acts so responsible these days Arjun, actually I was so worried about her naughtiness. You know one day she pushed our gardener into the pool, pour oil onto the floor and made our maid fell down. And she started painting dad's head with red paint. He... Instead of scolding her dad took her side and irritated me. I didn't tell you anything because I knew will support her even though she was at fault." I told Arjun.

"It's not like that baby!" With that he kissed my neck. "Our Ari changed so much, you know. She started behaving so mature and understand things." Told Arjun and I hummed as response.

Suddenly we heard some giggles. It was our kids, Ari was holding a phone and she ran along with Athul the moment we saw them.

Something was fishy!

"They are just playing Siya, don't worry much tomorrow is Sunday, they'll sleep enough." Told Arjun pulling me to him and hugging me from behind, I closed my eyes and lived the moment.

"Siya? One question have been nagging me for years. Can I ask you?" He asked me.

"Hummm..." I hummed again.

"Why did you forgive me? Why all on a sudden you came crying to me the other day, why did you consummated our marriage ? What happened that day?" I stiffed listening his question.

For the past five years he was all OK, Arjun stopped all his medicines and I decided to tell him the truth " Because I knew everything about you Arjun, about your past and family. About your psychological problems, Mani Uncle told me everything.

I know Why you didn't tell me anything about you Arjun, because you were scared, scared that I might leave you after learning the truth. Am I right? " I asked him while Arjun looked stunned and nodded his head in positive.

"You know what Arjun, love is all about forgiveness and trust. You didn't trust me but I forgave you. Because I loved you and loving you and will always love you till my last breath.

My love for you increased thousand folds after learning the truth. I was guilty and felt really bad for accusing you for something you were not responsible in your senses. I avenged them for you, I plotted Aarti's death, I tried killing that Shakti and Ajay. But the story turned into a different direction.

All I want to tell you is I'm sorry for treating you so badly. I love you Arjun, I will do anything for you and your happiness. Please trust me and tell me everything in future. Because I don't wanna know anything about my husband from a third person anymore. " I spoke my heart out, and wiped the tears from my face. It was as if like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

Few drops escaped from Arjun's eyes. Neither of us expected this moment in our life. He suddenly kept his head on my lap and hugged my stomach.

"You were not only my children's mother women, you behaved like my mom too. Today I didn't feel I don't have my mother. Because I'm blessed with a best wife in the world who is capable of playing all the roles in my life. Don't leave me Siya, till my last breath. I will not hide anything from you anymore, not even a single thing.

I love you!" Told Arjun.

I leaned down and kissed his head hugging him back. We should learn to forgive to lead a happy life, specially we should forgive our loved ones. No one is perfect in this world, humans are born to make errors. But true love forgives any crime, if the person truly repents and seeks your forgiveness.

Love is all about accepting our man with his flaws and forgiving him for his blenders. I forgave Arjun and realized his true love for me, that's why I was happy with my husband along with two beautiful children. Not everyone deserves a second Chance but a true love does.

That night we reached another height of understanding in our life and our love for each other grew much more.

Next day morning, I tried hard to wake my kids up, Ari was brushing her teeth, Arjun was carrying Athul in his arms while he was sucking his thumb finger with half closed eyes.

Sanjana Akka called me and I picked her phone " Siya.... Even after two children romance in full air ah...." She teased me.

"Huh? What are you saying Akka?" I asked her confused buttering the bread.

" Switch on the news channel and watch it." With that she put down the phone after giggling. I asked one of my maid to switch on the television.

The sight in front of me made my face red with embarrassment I looked at Arjun, he looked confused and then smirked at me. Ari came to the table.

"Momma food..." She turned her head to the television.

"An intimate picture of business tycoon Arjun Khaleja with his wife Siya Khaleja, where she leans onto him and enjoys the moonlight have been posted in Siya's Instagram account. It was one beautiful as well as an intimate picture of this star couple. " told a news reader.

I gave a deadly glare to Arjun " I was with you Siya. I didn't do it wife? " he stepped back. Athul took his thumb out from his mouth and pointed at Ari... "Maa... Aka..."

I turned to Ariya, she gave me a puppy dog look and told " I just posted the picture in Instagram momma..."

Arjun was giving me hopes that Ari wasn't naughty anymore and turned responsible. The next day his daughter buried my hopes deep under the soil.

"Ariya......." I screamed. Arjun carried both his son and daughter in his arms and ran away from me. While I started chasing them.

"I'll kill you three today..." I yelled.

"Thank god my daughter didn't capture our kiss wife." Yelled Arjun making me threw a pillow at him from the nearby couch while running.

I couldn't thank god enough for this lovely family.

The end!
