Chapter 76: Epilogue

Two Month later

Today was the last hearing for Akhil’s case. Though Kabir kept Payal away from this chaos as much as

he can. But her presence was required to expose him in front of court.

After all the evidences and witnesses, Akhil was sentenced to life imprisonment for murder charges of NôvelDrama.Org content.

Avi, kidnapping and harassing Payal.

While going out, Payal could see the murderous look in Akhil’s eyes towards them and she felt her

insides clutch with unknown fear.

But she kept herself positive thinking he can’t do anything from behind the bars.

“Shall we?” Kabir asked her keeping his hand on her shoulders.

With a heavy pregnant belly, Payal climb down the stairs of courtroom with the help of her husband.

That nagging feeling didn’t wash away even after leaving behind the scenes of courtroom.

She was regretting her decision to come here in this condition. But it was important for her own peace

which she felt after sending him behind the bars.

Suddenly, she felt her throat dry amd look for bottle in the car.

“You need something?” Kabir asked while driving the car. They are heading towards their home.

“Umm, water…” She said while looking at now empty bottle…

“Ohh…let me buy it once I spot any shop” he commented…

“That’s okay…I can manage till we reach home” she said as she wants to reach asap.

“You just wait for me here. I’ll be back in a minute…” Kabir said stopping the car at the side.

Before she could deny him, he came out of the car.

Even after waiting for more than five minutes, when he didn’t came back… Payal came out of the car to

look for her husband.

She slowing started crossing the road looking left and right. When she looked ahead, she noticed her

husband’s back and got relief from an unknown tension building in her mind.

Kabir just turned after purchasing the water bottle and saw his wife crossing the road.

He frowned looking at her figure because traffic was heavy on the road and it was not safe for her

according to him.

He walked towards her to help her but his eyes widened when he saw a car coming from the wrong

side and she didn’t noticed it yet.

He ran at full speed throwing the bottle on the ground.

Payal frowned looking at her husband who was coming towards her in a jet speed. She turned her

head towards the left and stopped in her track to see the car going to hit her anytime soon.

In her reflex, she protect her belly first by covering it with her arms.

Before the car could hit her, Kabir pushed her to the side and car hit him instead of her.

Kabir winced in pain as his arms scratched with the road as he dropped his whole weight on his arm.

He was relieved atleast Payal was safe. But this satisfaction was for a second as he heard her

screaming in pain.

His face paled looking at his wife clutching her belly… Apparently when he pushed her, she could not

balanced herself and fall on her stomach resulting in the hitting the ground facing it.

“Payal…” Kabir screamed at top of his voice…

He ran towards her and hold her in his arms.

“Kabirrr…our babyy…” She said with difficulty…

He felt like someone hit in his gut. Crowd gathered around them but noone suggested the couple to

move to the hospital.

Kabir came back in his senses and picked Payal in his arms.

“Don’t worry, I will not let anything happen to our baby” he consoled the semi-concious Payal.

At the hospital…

Everyone reached at the hospital after hearing the news. It was shocking for them to digest…

“How did it happened bhai?” Kunal asked kabir…

Kabir who was still in shock couldn’t answer him and stood gazing at the door of the room.

Payal was in emergency room as doctor said due to the impact of falling, she went into premature

labour. And there may be a chance of trauma to the mother.

Kabir was felling guilty for all the things happened and praying silently for his wife and baby.

After half an hour, doctor came out of the room and looking at her, his breath struck in between.

Negative thoughts erupted in his mind. What if they couldn’t….no!!!

“H…how are they, doctor?” Kabir finally found his voice.

“Congratulations, it’s a baby boy.” Doctor declared sending waves of happiness, excitement among the

tensed family members.

“But as it’s a premature delivery, baby is weak and we will keep him in under observation for few

weeks.” She declared…

“And Payal???” Asked Kabir anxiously.

“She is also weak. She suffered internal bleeding during the fall which resulted in pre-mature labour.”

She sighed…

“I would just add that take proper care of patient” she declared leaving behind the family.

Kabir walk behind the nurse looking curiously around the room full of infants…

His eyes were madly searching for the one for whom his heart was beating vigorously.

He stopped when nurse went to the crib and hold the tiny baby in her hand.

His hands trembled when nurse urged him to hold the baby in his hands. He didn’t expect things to

happen like this. He had a plan to hold his child for the first time together with his wife. But god had

different plans.

His wife was still unconscious and he had to do this alone.

With trembling hands and euphoria in his heart he hold the baby in his hand.

He has never hold such a tiny baby in his hand before. Aashi was much more healthier at the time of

her birth.

The baby looked at him with the same alluring eyes which has captivated his heart a year ago. He just

felt numbed looking at him continuously.

Who said only mother can feel the bond with her child. At that moment, noone can describe the feeling

Kabir was having in his heart.

“Hello little one, me your dadda…”he finally declared while kissing his forehead.

Baby passed him a genuine smile as if understanding his father.

“Become healthy soon. We’re waiting for you baby” he said while baby blinked his eyes twice. He

cooed few words before nurse interrupted him.

“Sir… it’s time to leave…” Nurse said…

He felt disappointed as he didn’t even meet his son closely.

“I will come back soon and this time to take you to your mom” he announced while pecking him for the

last time.

With the heavy heart, he gave back the baby to nurse.

“Sweetheart, atleast wake up now…I have even meet our son alone. I so wanted us to be together.” He

confessed holding his wife’s hand who was unconscious at this moment.

“He needs you baby…heck I need you more than anything…” He said pecking her forehead.

It was three in the night and she was unconscious from last 5 hours. He was feeling restless and what

not. Though doctor confirmed that she is fine but he wants her to talk to him, pass him a smile and say

don’t worry I am fine…

His trance broke when he felt her hand made a slight movement. He got his attention back to his wife

who was now opening her eyes.

She gave a light smile to Kabir, who was blocking her vision to see anything else…

She tried to sit back but stilled once realised the pain shoking her body.

“Are you okay?” Kabir asked in concerned voice.

She nodded and soon flashback came back in her mind.

She immediately placed her hand on her heavenly belly which was not same as before.

She turned her head in fear towards kabir…

“He is fine… Don’t worry” he said making her relieved.

“He???” She asked in excitement ignoring her pain.

“Yes. He is soo cute and his eyes are big and shiny just like yours.” He started explaining whatever

happened and she just smiled looking at him.

After 3 years….

“Abhi…baby… don’t disturb your mom please” Payal scold her naughty son for the nth time who was

interrupting her while she was icing the cake with chocolate.

He loves chocolate and was continuously dipping his finger to lick it.

“Abhi…” She scolded him again but this time it was not him but her husband…

“Dadda….” Abhi squealed in joy…

“Since when you started liking sweet things?” Payal asked him raising her eyebrows.

“Since the time you filled my life with sweetest moments” he said while picking abhi from the top

counter.

“Cheesy much…” She replied to which he grinned…

“How is my Prince doing?” He asked his boy…

“Nice daddy….” He replied…

“And what are you doing here this late?” He asked….

“Mumma making cake for doll…” He replied in his ears.

“Ohhh….so you’re gonna surprise doll with a cake?” He asked whispering to which abhi nodded…

“We thought why not we should do something as you might be too busy remembering her birthday”

Payal taunted as she don’t like the overworked Kabir…

“I am sorry darling… but you know na this project is something I was dreaming from months” he

apologized while circling her waist from his free hand…

“Hmm…lets go and surprise our doll.” She said picking up the cake in her hands…

“3…2…1…happy birthday aashi” everyone shouted making the little sould woke up with a jolt…

She rubbed her eyes and saw her parents standing in front of her with a smily face.

“Mumma…daddy??” She called them with a frown.

“Happy birthday baby…” They wished her together while hugging her…

“Thank you…” She replied with happiness.

“Lets cut the cake…” Payal said placing the cake on the bed…

“I want more…” Abhi said with a pout…

“Come here” aashi put him on her lap and started feeding him more cake…

Abhi spread his chocolate dipped fingers on aashi’s cheek which made her giggle.

“You both loves him more than me” Kabir pouted looking at his children…

“You jealous man…how can you be jealous of your own son” payal asked while shaking her head…

“I may be sounding jealous but this is truth though I don’t mind him the centre of you two…” He said

encircling her waist.

“Thank you for giving me these wonderful kids” he said…

“And I thank you for giving me second life by this marriage” she said placing her head on his chest.

Aashi and abhi soon joined them in the group hug…
