The next morning was full of new hopes and positive energy.
Maddy was finally out of danger. By late morning he regained consciousness though medicines made him a little groggy.
He heard his mother sobbing. He could see Alok standing stiffly consoling Laxmi.
" He wlill be fine".
His friends were cursing him
" I am going to rearrange his face".
That would be Solly.
" I am charging him thrice my fees for saving him".
Ro of course.
" For once can he just stop being a hero".
Don't know who?
And a soft whisper.....
" I love you Maddy"....
Kiara...
He tried hard to be with her but abyss claimed him back.
Afternoon
" Maddy I swear I'll punch your face if you don't wake up now", Kiara said holding his hand.
And suddenly he woke up.
" I love you too", he smirked.
Kiara was speechless looking at him then hugged him hard.
Raj was there too. Along with Laxmi.
" Maddy", she cried.
" How many times assh*le I have to tell you I can handle a bullet", said Raj.
" Gaurav", queried Maddy.
Kiara sobbed as Raj shook his head.
Maddy let out an expletive.
" The curse", he lamented.
" Stands cancelled", said Raj.
" But"..
" I killed him. I have surrendered".
" Appa"...
Maddy was stunned.
But Raj shook his head.
" It was Gautam ", he said. Then he narrated what happened.
" Appa I won't let you go to jail", said Maddy holding Alok's hand.
" Law should not privilege the rich", said Alok solemnly. " I committed the crime".
" Gautam it was Gautam", said Maddy. " If you are innocent how can he let you suffer".
Alok couldn't answer as Salman entered then... He said,
" He didn't. The sword disappeared. And the age old guillotine cut lose by Gaurav himself to kill Raj had his blood on it. It's ruled out as an accident. You are a free man Alok. Gautam didn't curse anyone.
Maddy sighed.
" We are free then", he said.
" As much as we can", said Myra entering like a hurricane. "Grace's water broke. Kenny".
" I am coming. Ki you be with him", she said.
Everyone else left.
" I love you", said Kiara. " You dare try to leave and I hit you."
" I wouldn't dare", said Maddy. " Also I love you too".
"Love you love you", chirped Lovey Dovey as they landed on her shoulder.
Kiara smiled.
" You are my forever ", said Maddy.
OT
Grace was in labour. Dr. Gayatri and Prakriti assisted her.
" Ro I want Ro with me", she said.
Ro rushed in.
" Grace my love be strong"...
Michael Khurana rushed into the world making a strong wailing sound . He had Ro's face and Grace's hairs. A 3.9 kilo baby he tired his mother as he came to the world.
" I named him after the Angel who guided me to save him rather than kill him", she quietly said.
" He is perfect and so are you ", said Ro as his son slept after Grace nursed him. He softly kissed her forehead.
Their forever has arrived.
" Grace's son is perfect ", said Shai.
" Do you wish for one", queried Solly.
" I do", she softly said.
" YAAAAYYYY", shouted Solly. " I am going to put a lot of babies in you. And I am going to so enjoy it", he screamed.
And the door opened to the horror of Zoya, Salman and Ibrahim standing there who came to see the newborn.
" I guess Solly everyone heard how much you are going to enjoy making babies", said Raj as he entered with Parry smiling wickedly.
Salman let out an expletive. Zoya stood shell shocked. Ibrahim chuckled.
" He never had any filter", he said.
" Do hell with filter ", said Solly. " She is my wife. You assh*le", he pointed to Raj. " I didn't elope with her".
" Hey I am legally married too", said Raj.
" Then concentrate on that and let me concentrate on my job", he said angrily.
" And that job would be", asked Raj raising a brow.
" Keeping her joined to me", said an emotional Solly holding Shai's hand. " I'll leave my job", he said. " We will live together in forest and make a lot of babies ".
" Just shut up", said his father as Shai highly flushed hid in her mother's arms.
Zoya finally smiled.
" I do like grandchildren ", she said. " You have my blessings".
Solly was pleased. He held his wife's hand again.
" Just try to get a room first", said Raj as everyone burst into laughter😂😂
Forever was interesting.
" Sonia we can be neighbors ", said Dipti. " I have locked myself in my head for so long. I want to be around friends now ".
" Of course", said Sonia. " Besides I want to be with Meenu. She is always so busy. Amongst us let's try to slow her down".
" I am in that conspiracy ", said Parry hugging both his mothers.
" Let's take a break and head somewhere. I missed honeymoon ", he made a face.
" Only you would be shameless enough to ask for honeymoon in front of your mother", said Dipti shaking his head.
" You haven't seen Solly", chuckled Parry.
" He declared in front of hiis father and mother-in- law that all he want to do in life is make babies. Not bad though", he smiled wickedly. " A baby will surely slow your daughter down", he whispered to Sonia.
" Are you back b*tching behind my back you gossip queen", he heard a snarky voice as Manav and Myra walked in
" I was just complaining to your mother that you dress me in boring clothes", he smiled wickedly.
" I'll make you a superman suit in red with a blue underw*ar to be worn above it. And a cape with a large S wriritten on it. Interesting enough", she raised a brow.
" FABULOUS "!
Everyone laughed
" We were planning a holiday ", said Manav .
" So were we", said an exciting Sonia.
" You better remember your promise of baby", she whispered to her son-in-law.
Parry gave a thumbs up.
Sonia sighed happily.
Somewhere Reshma's soul smiled A father, a respected job, a husband who loved her and her family.
Yes this is the forever she penanced for.
Raj was with Diana and Ramcharan.
" You boy are getting remarried in church", said Diana with an authority.
" Of course anything for the best lady in the world ", he said. " Right daddy".
" I love marriages ", said Ramcharan.
A week later.
" I do", said Raj.
" You may now kiss the bride", said the priest.
Raj kept his promise to Grandma Cooper.
With pomp and show he married Kenny in an English church. Diana couldn't stop crying. All his friends cheered loudly.
He softly kissed Kenny on lips. She sighed happily.
Life came a full circle.
She remembered what Aditi told Dhara.
Ten centuries earlier
" When will I marry prince Aditya aunty", asked a ten year old Dhara.
" It's a long wait", said Aditi.
" Too long", she asked.
" Yes child".
" But he will marry me right", she asked again.
" Yes"
" And we will live happily forever", she asked.
" Yes it will be forever".
" Then I will wait aunty. For that forever however long it takes", said the child solemnly.
Present
" Kenny", said Raj.
She wiped her tears.
" You married me. This is my forever".
" And it will always last my queen", he promised.
Forever has truly began.
