Epilogue
Hi, guys, sorry for the delayed epilogue. Actually, I had no idea to write an epilogue for FANATIC. A few readers were kept on requesting me to write it. It's my responsibility to respond to them. So, here it is...
Epilogue
Khushi was in her fourth month. Arnav was suffocating like hell. He was restricted to hugging Khushi tightly. She was pregnant. She could not be hugged with force. Arnav felt like his hands were tied up with a heavy iron chain. He was suffocating to keep his distance from her. As we knew he was so fond of his wife, he didn't like to be in distance but he had no choice. he couldn't take risks in Khushi's matter. He was roaming in his room thinking all this.
At the same time,
Arnav saw Khushi coming, closing the door.
"Did you drink milk?" He asked lovingly.
Khushi nodded yes.
"Did you add saffron in it?"
She again nodded yes.
"Did you have your medicine?"
"Haan... I had everything... Now, I'm going to have you" Khushi said circling his neck.
Arnav got stuck. A soft chuckle escaped from his throat that was the gesture of his uncertainty. Khushi, who read his facial expression, sat next to him, looking at his face that was being occupied with confusion.
"What are you looking at?" she asked drawing a line on his cheek.
"Whaaaaat... did... you say?" He asked with the same unbelievable expression.
"I said I'm going to have you... I mean I'm going to make love with you"
"Khushi... You know we are in distance for the past three months because you are pregnant. I will take your words seriously even though you speak for fun..." he said suffocating.
"Do you think I'm making fun out of you? Do you think I can even make fun of THIS ( she stressed) matter? Do you think I will play with your helplessness? Do you think I will disappoint you after speaking hopeful words? Do you think..."
Arnav closed her mouth with his palm.
"Enough of your DO YOU THINKs. I truly can't believe what you said"
He lowered his hand from her mouth.
"Didn't you say I should not even hug you strongly? Then... how...?"
"This is my fourth month. The baby became strong and safe. So, you can touch me and make love but, Cautiously..."
"Are you sure...?"
"Mmm... Intercourse will make the discovery normal one too"
"Is it?" His face brightened.
Khushi nodded yes.
"But... It's been three months... What if I became... I mean... What if, I ACT losing my control? I will definitely lose my control as it's been long..." He said fearfully.
"You won't... I know you care for me"
She leaned on his shoulder. Arnav smiled mildly.
"You know what...? We can make it often if you maintain your control" She said, looking at him, raising her head.
"Is it?"
She nodded yes. She saw him getting delighted.
"If it is so, I will try to be gentle"
Khushi smiled while shaking her head like ok. She sensed Arnav hesitating. She shifted to his lap, making him gasp.
He touched her stomach.
"Will baby feel what we do?"
"No... The baby feels only our emotions... That too not now. It will happen after the sixth month."
"Doesn't the baby know I'm making love to her/his mother?"
Khushi chuckled.
"No... She/he doesn't know..."
There was a satisfactory smile on his face.
"Please stop me if I lose my control"
"Ok"
Arnav was so cautious not to put weight on her stomach and was so so gentle that made Khushi wonder. The session didn't take much time as it happened after a long time. He laid next to her.
"I'm not satisfied..." Arnav said.
"I know," Khushi said.
Arnav touched her belly slowly.
"Do you feel pain?"
"No..."
"When will the baby hear us?"
"She hears us from the seventh month. You can even talk to the baby"
"Really?"
"Mmm... You can talk to her and also can make her a papa girl" Khushi smiled.
Arnav became thoughtful. He started talking with the baby from the day Khushi instructed him. But he did that without showing his expectations and curiosity when Khushi sleeps. He felt an extreme level of happiness whenever he saw the movement of the baby for the first time. he thought the baby is responding to his talks.
Time passed like a rocket. Khushi's due date came. Arnav became restless. Khushi controlled herself not expressing her pain because she didn't want Arnav to think differently. She knew he didn't like anyone who gives her pain. She sacred, Arnav may get angry with the baby. But Khushi didn't know Arnav had a lot of talk with his baby and advised her not to trouble Khushi.
Arnav was curious to know whether the baby paid attention to him and OBEYS him.
Khushi delivered a girl baby without getting troubled that took Arnav beyond the blue planet. Though the baby came to the world without troubling her mother Arnav was not sure whether it happened because of his TALKS.
Khushi wanted Arnav to name the baby. At first, he acted like he was not interested and asked Khushi to do it. Khushi became upset as he didn't show interest.
"Why don't you show interest in her, Arnavji?"
"Not like that... You chose a good name for her"
"Won't you do it for me? Khushi asked making face.
"Ok, I will do that for you"
Finally, Arnav selected a name pretending like he is doing that ONLY for Khushi. He named her AARA... The meaning is, CAN BE ADORED.
Even after the delivery, Khushi did not stay in distance from Arnav as he knew how possessive he was. But, Arnav stayed in distance from the baby. He didn't know how to react to the small baby. He wondered when Aara searched for him hearing his VOICE whenever he talks with Khushi.
"Arnavji, look at her, she is searching for you," Khushi says with excitement whenever it happened. Arnav smiles gently.
Arnav was awestruck when Aara uttered the first word. It was nothing but PAPA. Khushi was more excited than Arnav. Arnav liked when Aara hopped from Khushi to come to him. Though Arnav was scared to lift her he never denied taking her on his lap.
Khushi makes her sit on Arnav's lap intentionally and she wondered. Whenever she does that Aara starts making sounds looking at Arnav in the manner of talking with him.
"I don't know why she talks only with you. She doesn't do that to me" Khushi frowns.
Arnav smiles slightly. It was long-term speech therapy after all. He believed that. He sensed Aara showed a deep attachment with him. She liked to be with him next to Khushi and Arnav liked to spend time with Aara.
"I can't understand one thing that how she identifies your voice. She searches for you whenever you speak. She tries to talk to you if you are near her. I don't know how this girl got attached to you," Khushi said looking at Aara who was playing with Arnav's shirt button.
"I made her attached to me" Arnav broke the egg finally making Khushi confused.
"You made her attached to you?"
Arnav nodded yes.
"How?"
"I always talked with her when she was in your womb"
"When did it happen?" she asked wondering.
"When you sleep"
"Is it?"
"Yup"
"Then why didn't you react?"
"I was not sure whether it would work. So, I don't want to have expectations. That's why I didn't react"
"It seems father and daughter was in secret mission..."
"Nothing is secret in that. That's why I broke it now"
"She likes you very much, Arnavji."
"Not more than you do. No one could love me as you do"
"I hope the sentence won't change in the future," Khushi said, teasingly.
"Do you doubt me, Khushi?"
"No doubt... this little girl will make you fond of her"
"She is our baby... taking care of her is our responsibility. Until she gets married to a good guy, we will have to be her protectors. She needs her mother's care and her father's attention. We will have to raise her with good morals as you have. That's all I want" Arnav said and Khushi was looking at him adoringly.
"It seems you have a long-term plan for your daughter...?"
"Our daughter," he said not letting Khushi feel avoided.
Khushi smiled understanding that.
"Arnavji, understand one thing. I will be happy if she loves you more than I do. you don't have to hesitate to accept it. She is your daughter... your blood... take it as a credit. She loves you so much... she identifies your voice... she likes to be with you... I'm happy about it"
Taking her hand, Arnav kissed her knuckle.
"Thank you for everything... you had showed me the good side of life. you gave me happiness in the form of a daughter. I need you, Khushi. till my last breath, I need you no matter who is with me because you are my life. There is no replacement for your love."
Khushi nodded yes and leaned on his shoulder. Aara cackled happily as if she understood the understanding of her parents.
