Writing epilogue for the first time,so apologies in advance..

A year later,

The whole Singh and Malik Family was standing in the hospital Corridor worried and praying to God.Anubhav was the most worried,he was pacing back and forth occassionally glancing at the room where his wife was.
Soon cry of a baby was heard.Everyone stood up from their place.After sometime a nurse came out of the room.

Nurse: Mubarak ho beti Hui hain aur bilkul swath hain.

AS: Humari patni...woh kaisi hain?

Nurse: Jii woh bhi thik hain..unhe abhi unke ward mein shift kar denge phir aaplog mil sakte hain.(she left)

Maa: Mubarak ho samdhanji.(Maa and Ammi hugged each other.)Humne toh Bahu se Chhota Kanha manga tha par humare ghar toh Radharani aagayi(she said smiling and bowed before the Radhakrishna idol kept at the end of the hospital corridor.)

Baba: Anubhav abb toh muskurao baap ban gaye ho.(he said smiling seeing his son's still tensed face.)

AS: hum bohot khush hain baba...aab intezaar nahi horaha humse..

Soon Haseena was shifted to her ward and doctor handed them their bundle of Joy.Haseena held her little one close to her heart while the little one tried to clutch the fabric of her mother's clothes.

Ammi: dekhna samdhanji yeh na damadji par hi jayegi.

Maa: Haan..dekhiye na Anu ki tarha naak hain bilkul aur Haseena ki tarha hothon k paas teel hain.(she said admiring the baby.)

Few Days Later:

Panditji: inn kagazo par naam likh diya hain na bacchi ka?

Maa: jii Panditji..

Panditji: Abb har ek kagaz k paas ek ek diya jalaiye..jis diye ki jyot sab se tez hogi wahi bacchi ka naam hoga.

Maa did accordingly..all waited for sometime and then Panditji said...

Panditji: beech wale diye ki jyot sabse tez hain..abb bacchi ki Maa iss  kagaz ko uthakar naam bacchi k kaan mein bolengi phir sabko batayegi..

HM picked up the paper and smiled seeing the name written in it.She whispered the name in baby's ear.

Maa: Haseena abb hume bhi naam bata..(she asked impatiently.)

HM: Aadhya..Humari beti ka naam hain Aadhya Anubhav Singh.

Anubhav smiled broadly listening to the name.

Ammi: Bohot Sundar naam hain kisne likha hain?

HM: yeh naam Anubhavji ne rakha hain Maa...inhone aspatal mein hi kaha tha yeh apni beti ka naam Aadhya rakhna chahte hain.(she said smiling)

Night:

Baby Aadhya was sleeping soundly on her mother's chest when Anubhav entered the room.Haseena didn't notice him,she was lost in her own thoughts.

AS: Aap soyi nahi abhi tak?Aadhya phir se jaag gayi?

HM: haan...humne kaha tha na isse paalne mein neend nahi aati..picchle ek ghante se aise lekar baithe hain.

AS: Abb isse bistar par Sula dijiye...apki kamar akad jayegi aise toh.(He helped her to place Aadhya carefully in front of them,on the bed)Abb baitaiyye aapko kya hua hain?

HM: hume kya hua hain...kuch bhi toh nahi!

AS: phir jab hum kamre mein aaye aap kis soch mein dubi hui thi?

HM: Bas yeh soch rahe the Aaj hi k din Afsal ki maut hui thi aur...

AS: kyun purani baaton ko yaad kar rhi hain Haseena....aaj bhi woh din humare duswapn mein aata hain.Humne aapko lagbhag kho hi diya tha...

Flashback:

Anubhav and Hussain reached hospital with Haseena.She was immediately taken into OT.
The family members reached there too.

Abbu: Humari bacchi..kahan hain woh kaisi hain?

H: Hasi ko goli nikalne k liye andar lekar Gaye hain Abbujaan.(he said with chocked voice.)

Anubhav was sitting numb..he had no idea of the world around him.."Anu" Maa called him softly.He turned towards her..

AS: Abhi toh sab kuch thik hua tha Maa...(he said blankly)

Maa: bhagwan par bharosa rakh baccha sab thik ho jayega..(she said wiping his face with her saree's pallu although her heart wrenched seeing his blood soaked shirt.)

Few hours later the doctor came out of the OT.

Doctor: Dekhiye humne goli nikaal diya hain par unhe lead poisioning ho gayi hain.Aur uska antidote yaha gaon k hospital mein uplabdh nahi hain...uske liye aaplogo ko shaher jana hoga..aur woh bhi jaldi warna inke sharir ka dahina hissa paralysed bhi ho sakta hain..

AS: hum samajh gaye doctor hum Haseena ko shaher le jayenge...par woh iss waqt safar kar payengi kya?

Doctor: Dekhiye taqleef toh hogi par 72 ghante mein antidote ka phela dose nahi mila toh khatra badh sakta hain.

AS: nahi hum aaj hi rawana honge...Hussain aap tickets ka intezaam kijiye hum yaha ki aupcharikta dekhte hain.(he said with determination to save his lady love.)

Flashback ends...

HM: sach mein woh 1 mahina bohot mushkil tha par aakhir kar hum thik ho gaye....

AS: Thik toh aapko hona hi tha,humare liye...kyun ki nahi rahe sakte hum aapke bina..(he said engulfing her in his embrace.)

HM: waqt bhi kitni jaldi badalta hain na Anubhavji...1.5 saal pahele humdono ko ek dusre ki shakal dekhna bhi manzoor nahi tha...(she said resting her head on his chest.)

AS: Aur aaj humdono k pyar ki nishaani humare samaksh hain..(he said adoring their daughter.)

Anubhav picked the little one in his arms.The 12 days old angel, well fitted in his palms only.

HM: Humne kabhi socha nahi tha Anubhav jis kahani ki shuruwat nafrat se hui thi uska anth inta khubsurat hoga.(caressing the head on her sleeping daughter.)

AS: Umm..hun, anth nahi..sacchi Prem kahaniyon ka koi anth nahi hota...woh toh Amar hote hain.Humari kahani ka bhi yeh Naya Adhyay hain humari Aadhya k saath.

HM: sahi kaha!(she said smiling looking into his eyes.)

Haseena leaned forward and put her lips on his,they kissed for a minute when Aadhya started crying...They immediately broke the kiss

AS: Kya humari Rajkumari thodi der baad nahi uth sakti thi aap(he said with a puppy face.Haseena giggled and he smiled.)

HM: Dijiye isse hume..bhook lagi hain hain aapki Rajkumari ko..(she took the baby from him.)

Author's POV:

**Tujh sang bair lagaya aisa
Raha na main phir apne jaisa.**

Nafrat se shuru hui inki kahani..jismein gussa bhi tha,dushmani bhi thi...aur tha dil mein badle ki aag...

Par dono hi iss baat se bekhabar the kab yeh badle ki aag pyar ki junoon mein tabdil hua..
Inki kahani mein pyar ko paane ka junoon bhi tha aur uske saath ka sukoon bhi...

Inke Ishq ka rang— Gulab ki tarha Laal..Mohabbat k iss raaste mein sirf pankhudiyan hi nahi balki kaante bhi the.Iss Ishq mein aib bhi tha,bair bhi tha aur malal bhi..aur jo tha woh hain Sacchai.

Kahete hain saccha Prem har sahelab ka rukh modne ki taqat rakhta hain aur inhone usse sabit kya...samaj,Parivaar aur sabse pahele khudse ladke,duniya ki har dastoor ko todkar aakhirkar kar hi Diya inhone apne "Laal Ishq" ko mukammal.

**Ye laal ishq, ye malaal ishq
Ye aib ishq, ye bair ishq**
