Hello friends, Thanks everyone for your support throughout my story. Hope you liked it. I know it might not be realistic. Sorry, if i had disappointed you. One important thing is, first I want to thank one of my little sisters ishu SamairaRajput and also a lovely friend Rinka_Ritz for helping me to change the title of this story as i felt it is not justifying the plot. So the new title would be

"It's time to Regret". Tell me how is it. 

Now getting into the final part of this story.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Om: Shivay, let's go. At any cost, I want to cure my sister Kushi as soon as possible.

Shivay smiles: If she is your sister then she is mine too. Don't worry Om, we will make her fine.

Shivay calls Kanna and asks him to get more cars and they all went out of the jungle to the road and left to the hospital where Kushi is there.

During their journey, Shivay narrates how they have searched the whole village for Om and Gauri when they didn't find them they started searching the road that led there and that is when they found Om's car and came into the jungle. And to their luck at that time Bhavya traced Om's location as he switched it on. 

In that big hospital, in some very unvisited ward, Kushi was lying on a bed with an oxygen mask and there was no one there to take care of her. There were two more patients there in the same ward just like her lying on the bed lifeless. Om felt very guilty of seeing them like that. Swara rushed to her sister and started crying holding her. Sanskar is trying to console her but in vain. After around half an hour, Oberoi's left to their Mansion except Om and Gauri. Abhinav too left from there in guilt. Arnav, Sanskar, and Swara were sitting there outside Kushi's room. Swara informed her parents and they were on their way to the hospital. 

In the evening, Om tells them to leave as it is getting late and there is no guarantee that Kushi will gain conscious today itself. It might take time but he assures them that she will for sure become normal.

Arnav: I will stay back with her. You guys go and freshen up.

Though Swara protests that she wanted to stay but Sanskar convinces her saying that if she wants to stay back tonight, then she first needs to go and freshen up. So, she leaves from there but returns back in an hour because she couldn't leave her sister whom she thought has left her long back.

This continued for one whole month. Daily Swara and Arnav started visiting her, spending some time with her talking to her. Day by day, the doctors were telling that there is an improvement but Kushi is not gaining conscious. Still, nobody was ready to lose hope. Finally, the day has come when Kushi slightly moved her hands. Swara was so happy seeing that she immediately ran to call Omkara and Gauri. They all came back only to find Kushi looking at the surroundings with confusion. Swara ran towards her.

Swara(tears in her eyes): Dii

Kushi tries to speak but then Gauri checked her.

Gauri: Swara ji, now there is nothing to worry. Kushi ji is perfectly alright. It is just that she needs some rest so that she would be habituated to the daily routine as she has been on the bed for 6 years.

Kushi(shocked): 6 years.

Gauri: Ha Kushi ji, you were in a coma from the past 6 years.

Kushi(catching her head): What? I just remember that night when Abhinav left me in that jungle, then I was hit by a car and fell unconscious there itself. After that what happened, I don't know.

Swara understands her condition because Om had already told her that "it's quite obvious that she wouldn't remember anything that her soul did to us in the house. Because it is done by her subconscious mind. Now, I feel it would be better if we don't talk about it to her. It's not good to stress her much."   

Swara: Relax di, someone has bought you here and from then on till when we got to know about you he was only taking care of you. Wait let me tell him this good news. I have taken his number from the reception.

She informs him and he told her that he would come to the hospital as soon as possible because now he is a bit busy.

Meanwhile, Om has called Bose's, Oberoi's, Raizada's and Maheshwari's. Without wasting time, they all reached the hospital and entered Kushi's room making it crowded.

Arnav seeing her immediately hugged her which Kushi happily reciprocated and Abhinav held his ears asking for sorry. 

Arnav: Kushi, forgive him only if you want to. Don't do it for my sake okay? I know he is repenting for what he did. But as we can't change that now, you have all the right to punish him.

Kushi: It's okay Arnav ji. I am not angry on him.

She just nods towards Abhinav and gave a smile.

Kushi looked at the remaining confused and turning towards Swara: Shona who all are they? (pointing to others except for her mom and dad)

Swara introduces everyone. Coming to Sanskar.

Swara(blushing): Dii, he is Sanskar Maheshwari, my fiance.

Kushi(teases her): Aww my Shona has grown up.

Swara: Dii, aap bhi kuch kam nahi thi.. Kyu Arnav ji? (you were also not less. Why Arnav?)

Kushi: Par meine thuje thabi kaha tha na ki muje Arnav ji se pyar hogayi hai.(But I told you then itself that I love Arnav)

Swara: Ha di, that's why when I first heard his name I felt I heard it before itself, but couldn't remember where. It was from you I heard as you used to keep on ranting about him whenever I called you.

Everybody laughs. Kushi blushes looking at Arnav and he feels very happy looking his lady love back again to herself. 

Kushi: Acha, Abhinav ji I feel you are changed because though there are these many beautiful girls here, you haven't started your flirting.  

Abhinav smiles at her remark: Actually Kushi, I don't flirt with committed girls you know. (He tells this only to get a smack from Arnav)

Like this everyone was talking happily, just then a man along with a lady comes there.  

(Ignore the background)

Then a nurse comes there and tells them that he is the one who bought Kushi to that hospital and she left from there.

Swara: Hello, I am Swara bose, Kushi's sister. Thank you so much, Mr.?

Sanskar: Randhir Singh Shekhawat. Bro, it has been many years we met. (He goes and hugs him)

Randhir: Ha Sanskar, I am so happy to meet you again. And meet my wife Sanyuktha.

Everyone introduces each other. Sanskar introduces Randhir as his childhood friend more like a brother. 

Kushi: Seriously Randhir ji, We are very thankful to you for saving my life.

Randhir: hey, it's ok. No need of all these formalities. I was going that way and found you on the road bleeding. So, with humanity, I got you here and admitted. As you didn't have any bag with you, I couldn't get your information. I thought I would wait for you to get conscious so that I could inform your family, but then they told me that you went into a coma. And seeing you at that time in such a place lonely, I felt you were in some problem so I thought it would be safe not to tell anyone and told the doctors and police that you were my cousin sister.

Swara and Khushi thanked him but then suddenly Shivay said.  

Shivay: Randhir I just remembered hearing your name.. it was you right who got the tender of Malhotra's.

Randhir nods in yes.

Sanskar: If we would have not stuck in the house, then I would surely have got it. Remember Swara, that day we were talking about them only know that we should reach before others at any cost as it was first come first basis. 

Randhir: Seriously, I didn't know about it that it was first come first. (He looks towards Shivay and he too nods in no)

Swara: Well, no one knows it, I accidentally heard it when Malhotra's P.a was talking in the phone about it.

Rudi: acha...cheater cock

Swara: Areey I told na, I didn't do it intentionally.

Gauri: But Swara ji, You told me that you were going to Sripooram to invite your relatives for your marriage.

Swara: Ha Gauri that is only half-truth. I didn't want to tell anything about the tender to anyone because everyone would say the same as Rudi said.

Shivay: come on Swara, Rudi na he acts like a kid. so, leave all that. don't take it seriously.

Kushi: Guys, please will someone tell me what's happening? I am not understanding anything.

This time as a doctor Om takes responsibility and tells her everything slowly and calmly so as not to make her excited. She found it very difficult to believe it that she did all that but then as Arnav bought Jalebi for her, seeing them she got busy in relishing them forgetting everything. Days passed, by now Kushi became alright. And Bose family thought to arrange the wedding of their two daughters on the same day. 

The day arrived, Gadodia mansion was decorated so beautifully that it was looking like all the stars left the sky to adorn this place to bless these two couples. As pandit ji gave a muhurat at midnight, they arranged a small reception before itself because not all people are going to stay till night. Both the couples came hand in hand and sat on their respective couches. Everyone started coming and blessing them with their gifts and love. Soon, Oberoi's and Randhir along with Sanyuktha too came. All of them were very happy to see those four together.

Rudi: Bhayya, ek bath puchu, kya thum dono ne mere bhabhiyonko....i mean honewali bhabhiyonko propose kiya. (Shall I ask something? did you both propose to Swara and Kushi?)

Sanskar: Ya I did propose Swara(looking at her for which she blushed) but I don't think Arnav had?

Kushi(looking down): Now, what is the need of it? (But before she could complete, Arnav was on his knees holding her hand)

Arnav: Kushi I wanna marry you because you are the first person I want to look at when I wake up in the morning, and the only one I wanna kiss goodnight. Because the first time I saw these hands, I couldn't imagine not being able to hold them. But mainly when you love someone as much as I love you, getting married is the only thing left to do. I know you suffered a lot even without your mistake. And I promise, from this day, you shall not walk alone, my heart will be your shelter and my arms will be your home. So, Kushi will you give me the pleasure of being yours? Will you marry me, my love?

Kushi is so overwhelmed that she hugged him immediately and kissed his cheeks with happy tears in her eyes. Everyone who witnessed this started clapping and wishing that they stay like this forever.

Swara to Sanskar: Sikho kuch jiju se.. Kitna achese propose kiya tha? ( Learn from Arnav, how sweetly he proposed?)

Sanskar: Areey I have taken you to an island na that too in the chopper. You didn't like that.

Swara keeps a face as if she is angry-making Sanskar worried but then starts laughing. Pulling his cheeks Swara "I was just joking Sanskar. Anything you would do would be very very special for me. so don't worry. Vaise you look so cute like this" and continued laughing.

Sanskar: Call me anything but not cute.

Swara: That's my wish, my cute hone wali hubby.

Like this, their marriage got completed. After the marriage, Laksh came near Kushi.

Laksh: Kushi bhabhi, I am Laksh Maheshwari, Sanskar's younger brother. It was me who was driving the car when (hesitantly) you met with an acc...accident. (Looking down tears in his eyes) I am really very sorry bhabhi. I didn't do it wantedly. That day I was drunk and was not in my senses. Sorry bhabhi (folds his hands in the form of Namaste and started crying).

Kushi holds his hands: Promise me Laksh. (Hearing it he looks at her) Promise me that you would never drink and drive.

Laksh: I promise bhabhi, I would never do that.

Kushi: Good. Leave all this. I am not angry on you. (She gives a smile)

Laksh: Bhabhi, tell Sanskar bhaiya to talk to me, please. From then I am missing my brother plus a friend a lot. Please bhabhi.

As Laksh apologized before everyone, Sanskar too heard all the conversation and Kushi through eyes gesture Sanskar to forgive him. Then he hugs Laksh. Both of them are very happy as now everything is sorted.

And soon Kushi left with Arnav and Abhinav to London. While Swara left to Maheshwari mansion with Sanskar.

Everyone is living happily in their own lives by meeting each other now and then.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, Finally, how was the epilogue?

Did Kushi did right forgiving them or do you think they deserve some punishment?

In my view regretting or accepting one's mistake is very difficult and if anyone does that they must be given a second chance. Mistakes do happen with anyone knowingly or unknowingly as we all are humans. But we should always try to mend them or correct them if there is a possibility. One more humble request, "DOn't drink and Drive" That might shatter many people's lives.  

This is the end of this story. I know it is very short. But because of lack of time, I had to wind it up soon. I hope I have not left any questions unanswered.
