So sorry for posting this epilogue so late. I have forgotten about it. LOL

So here goes the epilogue as promised. Hope you all like it.

3 years later

Prachi was walking through the corridor leading to her and Ranbir's room, carrying a tray with a steaming cup of coffee in her hand. She entered the partially dark room and shook her head, smiling at the man sprawled on the center of the bed. She walked over to the bedside table and placed the tray on it. She, then, walked over to the windows and drew back the curtains, letting the sun rays filter into the room through closed glass panes of the windows. Ranbir groaned and turned to another side, pulling the blanket over his head.

"Uff! He is such a baby!" Prachi sighed.

She walked over to him and tried to wake him up by keeping her hand on his blanket covered arm and calling his name softly.

She didn't quite understand how it happened so fast but one minute she was  sitting upright and the next she was beneath Ranbir and he was hovering over her on the bed.

Ranbir grinned mischievously seeing her bemused expression.

"Good morning, wifey." He nuzzled her neck and kissed it, making Prachi moan his name.

"You are shameless, let me go." Prachi demanded.

"Not so soon, wifey. First, my good morning kiss." Ranbir smirked.

"Ranbir! You..." Prachi began but the rest of the words were lost as Ranbir captured her puckered lips in his own and sucked the nectar off them.

Prachi moaned in his mouth. Both traced every nook and crevice of each other's mouth with their tongues and engaged into a fight of dominion with the aid of their tongues.

Passion took over them and sent Molten fire coursing through their veins. They had almost lost the sense of time when a mewling sound is heard on the object Prachi had placed beside the tray on the bedside table.

For a moment, the sound didn't register on their lost in passion minds. However, when they deciphered the source of the noise in the next moment, they leapt apart and looked at each other.

"Oh no!" Both Pranbir uttered as one.

They instantly got up from the bed and straightening their attire, made their way out of the room. Prachi didn't forget to pick the object up and Ranbir cup of coffee laid untouched on the bedside table.

They crossed the corridor and strode into the room opposite to their room.

The door opened to a beautiful nursery, a haven for babies and children.

Prachi placed the baby monitor beside the lamp on the dresser and rushed to the crib. She picked up the wriggling infant gently. The little boy began to beat the air with restive tiny hands and feet. Prachi hugged him and patted his back, humming softly which calmed him down within a few moments.

"He is energetic, isn't he? Just like me." Ranbir announced proudly.

"No. He is naughty just like you." Prachi corrected him with mischievous grin.

"Prachi! Why is it that whenever our son, Veer, does something good, he becomes your son and whenever he does something naughty, he becomes my son?" Ranbir pouted

"Simple, because I am the one who decides when he becomes whose son." Prachi nodded solemnly and then giggled at the frown on Ranbir's face.

"Listen." Ranbir said as an idea occurred to him.

Prachi turned towards him quizzically and Ranbir kissed her on the lips swiftly without giving her a moment to react.

Prachi's eyes widened and as he moved away with a satisfied grin, she opened her mouth to say something but he instantly swooped in and closed his mouth over hers and deepened the kiss, making her moan. After a moment, she too responded and they only broke apart due to the wriggling baby in her arms.

"Well, if I am going to get this kind of compensation, then I am ready to take blame for anything." Ranbir winked naughtily.

Blushing furiously, Prachi swatted his arm with the flat of her hand playfully.

At such a moment, they heard Abhishek calling out to them.

Heart racing with anticipation, the four people were waiting outside the gates of the prison when a small door in the prison opened and a young woman stepped out.

As Rhea Mehra looked up, she was overwhelmed with emotions to see her family there. She hadn't really thought they would come. She wasn't even sure if she had any place in their lives after everything she had done. Her eyes brimmed with tears. She rushed towards them and Pragya and Prachi too rushed towards her.

Pragya and Rhea hugged each other and began to shed silent tears while Prachi's eyes were not dry too. After a while, breaking away from the hug, Rhea turned to the sister she had wronged greatly and took tentative steps towards her. Prachi pulled her into a warm embrace, realizing her anticipation. Rhea kept chanting sorry while Prachi kept telling her that it was okay and caressed her hair lovingly. After a while, they pulled apart and Prachi, holding her hand, brought Rhea to the place where Abhishek and Ranbir were standing.

"Dad! Have you forgiven me? Please forgive me." Rhea beseeched.

"I have forgiven you, Rhea, as you have served your punishment. Make sure never to repeat your mistakes." Abhishek gave her a side hug.

"I won't. Ever." Rhea vowed.

Rhea then moved towards Ranbir, who was carrying his infant son in his arms.

"Ranbir, please forgive me." Rhea beseeched.

" I have forgiven you, Rhea. Let bygones be bygones and start afresh." Ranbir replied.

"Thanks. Is this your son? May I...May I hold him for a while?" Rhea entreated with a lot of hesitation.

Ranbir glanced at Prachi who nodded positively. He, then, handed the baby over to Rhea who hold him with utmost care.

"Awe! You are so cute and adorable, are you not? You know who I am? I am your aunt. And I am going to pamper you so much." Rhea cooed and kissed the tiny nose of the baby lovingly.

"Let's go home, Rhea." Prachi, who had reached her side, placed a hand on Rhea's shoulder.

"Yes. Let's go. I have missed my family and our home so much." Rhea looked at Prachi with a teary smile.

Together they made their way to the car and soon pulled away, heading towards home and a life full of peace and happiness.
