108. Epilogue 2!
Author's POV
"Finally!"
Damon released a deep breath after waiting for an hour.
"Finally you both are ready, I thought we would leave when the party is over."
Mira handed him their son while narrowing her eyes at him.
"Then you should have got your son ready, who runs around the house like he has wheels in his feet..."
She scolded him.
"Do you know how difficult it is to get ready when your little devil is pulling my hair out."
Damon looked at his son amused.
"How dare you bother my wife, little man!"
He giggled cutely at his father.
"You both are my headache!"
She huffed and sat inside the car.
Damon sat beside her with a toddler in his lap.
"Sorry, wife!"
"Sorry, Mamma!"
They both said cutely and she couldn't help but smile.
"Aren't we fighting like a typical family?"
She chuckled.
Damon laughed too.
"Yes, because we are a normal family."
He kissed her cheek and then his son's head.
"By the way, you are glowing like a star."
He looked at her shimmer saree in which she was looking blazing hot.
"Beautiful, Mamma"
Her son clapped excitedly and she laughed.
"All guests will be arriving soon"
She said bothered while looking at the watch.
"Are we really late?"
"Let them wait!..."
He shrugged.
"I need time to admire my beautiful wife."
She blushed when he covered his son's eyes and kissed her lips.
"I can't believe it's been four years since our marriage and this little devil has turned three years old today."
She smiled happily.
"Many more to come!"
Damon chuckled while looking at his son.
"We have received a beautiful gift on our anniversary!"
They finally reached the venue and Damon picked up his son before helping her to get out of the car.
She smiled at his consistent efforts to treat her the same every time. Damon has been a wonderful father and she couldn't feel more proud of him whenever he is with him.
It's like he tries to give him all the love which he couldn't get.
They walked inside and Anamika welcomed them.
"Welcome to your anniversary party, babies!"
Mira looked at her awkwardly.
"I should have known that you will be the first to reach here."
Anamika chuckled.
"It has become a ritual now... But don't worry when I am here to handle everything, I know how difficult it is to handle this little devil."
She took the boy from Damon.
"How are you, my little lion?"
She kissed his cheek.
"All love for him?"
Damon sulked.
She chuckled and kissed his forehead.
"How's my big Lion?"
"Good!"
He laughed.
"Sorry for the delay, now you handle your little devil and I'll handle the guests..."
He said to Anamika.
"And you!"
He looked at Mira.
"Go, show off your new saree."
Anamika laughed along with Mira.
"Okay!"
She gave him a thumbs up.
He walked away to attend to the guests and Anamika looked at the child.
"He has taken over you..."
She gently squeezed his chubby cheeks.
"Huh, Dimitri... You look like your Mamma?"
He giggled when she tickled him.
Mira smiled.
"Yes! Where is everyone?"
"Find them, I got my grandchild to play with now you handle your party."
Anamika raised her hands and walked away.
Mira laughed and spotted the girls.
"Bella, Grace..."
She called them and they cheered for her excitedly.
"Happy four years!"
Bella and Grace hugged her.
"Oh my god! You are sparkling."
Bella was already dizzy and Grace was enjoying herself.
"Thank you!"
Mira blushed at compliments.
"Thanks for wearing sarees!"
She looked at them in awe.
"Yeah, it was a great idea... It's your day so your fashion rules."
Bella chuckled.
"It's a bit difficult to handle it, you know... If it opens then I am dead."
"Bella, it's a stitched saree... Raan knows that you can't be trusted with the drape, Alex will get a heart attack otherwise."
Grace said and laughed with Mira.
"Where are my enemies?"
Mira asked.
Bella grinned naughtily.
"Alex has already started his party and Dom is protecting himself from you."
Mira grinned back.
"No one can save him from me."
Her relation with Bella and Grace has gotten stronger within years. They meet at special occasions only but they have bonded like sisters.
"Hello, Alex!"
She greeted him when he was busy tasting drinks.
"Drinks are not good, poor choice!"
He mocked while keeping the glass down and making faces.
"Don't be like that one uncle in the family who has a problem with everything."
She mocked.
"You shouldn't drink anyway..."
"Saying the one who falls flat after two drinks..."
He chuckled while mocking her.
"Remember our last drinking competition?"
She gasped offended.
"Because you and your doppelganger cheated... You made my drinks stronger or else I never lost."
He scoffed.
"Losers always say that."
She slapped his arm and he slapped back but gently.
"Arey" (Hey)
She slapped back.
"Arey" (Hey)
He also slapped while teasing her.
Mira saw Dom and smirked.
"My second enemy!"
She called him and Dom tried to change his way quickly but she blocked his way.
"Are you running from me, enemy?"
She laughed at him.
"No way! you were really hiding from me... I liked this fear!"
"Height dekhi hai khudki?" (Have you seen your height?)"
He mocked while smirking evilly.
"Today you can't say anything to me. See, I am the same as your height"
She compared.
He laughed.
"Take off your heels then we'll talk..."
She gave him a warning look.
"Don't talk about my height."
"Your voice is not reaching me, talk loudly."
He mocked while sipping his drink.
"You are looking fat!"
She mocked back.
"Ab bolo!" (Now what!)
"Not more than you"
She punched his chest when he said that and he laughed while holding his drink away so it won't spill on her saree.
"And why are you wearing disco lights, by the way?"
"It's a fashion, asshole!"
She mocked.
"It's better than your boring black suit..."
"Mira!"
Raan called her excitedly and Mira turned towards her. They hugged in excitement like the best girlies.
It took time but they eventually overcame their differences and became best friends.
"Oh my god, you are looking amazing in this saree... See, my designs always look good on you."
"Tell this to boring mountain standing here."
Mira mocked Dom and he rolled his eyes bored.
"Forget him, come with me."
Raan dragged her with her.
"You need to try this drink, it's mind blowing"
"Where is Tristina?"
She asked while taking the drink from her.
"With her fathers at home... She gets irritated with loud music and crowded places so I didn't bring her... Anyways, I needed a day away from husbands and that naughty toddler..."
She sighed in relief.
"Trust me, I can understand."
Mira sympathized.
"Ohh, Rafael!"
Raan grinned.
"I'll meet him... You carry on with the drink."
Mira looked around and her smile widened when her family entered. Pratap, Maya, Uday, Durga, Yang, Rudra and Tara. Everyone was there.
She hugged all of them.
"How are you?"
She asked her father.
"Fit and fine!"
He said proudly.
"Where is my little devil?..."
"With his grandmother!"
She answered.
"Baba didn't come?"
She looked around when she saw that old man was missing.
"I didn't bring them... They won't do anything but create negativity so it's better that they don't get involved. And they are not interested either."
Pratap dismissed.
"It's been years now, you should forget about it..."
Mira sighed.
"No"
He shook his head.
"They had no right to treat you like that when I was not there... I trusted my daughters with them and they did those disgusting things with you... How can I forget that my daughter was forced to live as a widow?.. It hurts me whenever I think about that and they should know that there are consequences to all their actions."
"Pratap Bhai is right... They should regret it."
Maya agreed.
Mira sighed.
"Whatever you say... Anamika Maa is playing with Dimitri in that room. You can meet him there."
She grabbed Durga and dragged her away with a naughty smile.
"Where are you going, girl? Give me some gossip, you are married now..."
Durga blushed.
"There is no gossip, Mira... Stop it!"
"Yeah, right! You must have had all the fun before marriage..."
She teased.
"Oh god, Mira!"
Durga covered her face shyly.
"Stop it!"
Mira laughed at her cute reaction when Durga escaped from her.
"Rafael, what are you doing?"
She teased him when she saw him.
He looked at her impressed.
"Hmm, you are looking good today."
"What do you mean by today?"
She narrowed her eyes at him.
"Go and ask Damon!"
He chuckled while teasing her.
"You are so mean, Rafael."
She pinched his arm but he was hard like a rock.
"Why all these men are like rocks, fuck!"
"I never said I am not mean... Tell me something new"
He pinched her cheeks and quickly escaped from there knowing she would claw him alive.
Mira groaned while rubbing her cheek.
"Kameena" (Scoundrel!)
"You guys are doing it here too?"
Aurora asked in disbelief when she saw them.
"You are the only one who can make Rafael run"
She laughed.
Mira laughed.
"It's fun to see these big men running away from me."
Aurora shook her head amused.
"Marona couldn't come..."
Mira's smile fell.
"Of course, as if her evil husband would have allowed... I just hate that man."
Aurora sighed.
"Don't be... We don't know about their relationship. She might come later?"
Mira shook her head.
"It's almost time, she won't come"
"Anyways, don't be sad... Mariana and Lovina were waiting for you. Katrina is also here."
She patted her back.
Mira smiled and met her sister in laws.
"Girls, you guys are looking so beautiful."
Mariana smiled widely.
"Not more than you, my girl is shining!"
They hugged tightly.
Mira looked around and her smile bloomed as she saw her big happy family. Everything was perfect and happy.
She couldn't wish for anything else.
There are certain problems like Rafael and Marinos brothers don't get along but they keep their rivalry out of family functions.
Damon's throat was dry after talking non stop with the guests, he was about to grab the drink but another hand also touched it at the same time.
He looked up and saw Dom.
"You take it, I'll take another one."
Damon smiled at him.
Dom cleared his throat awkwardly.
"No, it's okay... You take it..."
He scratched his head trying to hide his awkwardness as Damon looked at him.
"Happy anniversary."
He said and quickly walked away.
Damon chuckled while shaking his head.
"Thanks"
He mumbled he was long gone.
He saw Mira having her childish fights with Alex and went there.
"What's happening?"
"He is not accepting that he cheated last time... So we are having a competition with drinks again."
Mira declared and Alex smirked.
"For god's sake Mira, the party has just started."
Damon grabbed his head, knowing they both will turn wild if he won't stop her.
"He has challenged me, I won't step back."
She said stubbornly while looking at Alex.
"Alex, you are smart..."
Damon raised his eyebrows at him.
Alex shrugged innocently.
"If the big brother says then next time, shorty."
Mira gasped at him.
"See, he mocked my height again."
She complained to Damon.
"You both shouldn't be together for more than a minute."
Damon groaned while pulling his wife back.
"I'll go bald before time..."
"She started it first by the way."
Alex defended himself.
"You liar!"
Mira looked at him in disbelief.
"You started it."
Damon huffed.
"I am calling Maa... Enough of you childish kids."
"I wasn't here!"
Alex got up and walked away while raising his hands.
"I was just teasing him, why are you so serious?"
Mira chuckled nervously.
"Chill, husband."
She quickly escaped from there and Damon laughed, knowing the 'Maa' card always works.
After all the naughtiness they finally celebrated the night and Damon pulled her away from everyone towards the empty hallway near the big open window from where the moon was on the view.
"Done running around?"
He asked while resting his hand on her waist and locking her against the railing.
"Dimitri has got your wheels in his legs and you scold me."
She wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Keep complaining, you look hot."
She placed lips on his and Damon was quick to respond to her.
His hand slid in her hair as he deepened the kiss and dominated her tongue while pouring all his passion in the kiss.
They sucked each other's souls with desperation.
"You are looking breathtaking, have you pledged to steal my heart everyday."
He kissed her nose tip.
She blushed.
"Yes! Every second."
He chuckled while fixing her hair and looking at her adoringly.
"It's been four years and sometimes I think, what if you would have said no to the wedding that night?"
He caressed her cheek and lips.
"I wouldn't have ended up with so much happiness."
She played with his hair with a soft smile.
"I also think that what if I wouldn't have collided with the stubborn man who wouldn't have dragged me to the altar..."
She admired his smile.
"It's been four years and my love for you gets deeper everyday, Damon... You changed my life. I still can't forget the wedding night where you encouraged me with your beautiful words. Wherever I use the jewellery, I recall your words... I can never thank you enough..."
"I thought someone was trying to kill me back then!"
He teased.
She chuckled.
"But Damon Delgado knows how to turn daggers into flowers... I should have known that you can win my heart when you win Dil... I lost there."
"I told you, you can't win against me."
He said proudly.
"This time I won even after losing in front of you... And I don't mind it."
She couldn't stop smiling.
"We really made it, Damon..."
He nodded.
"We made it... I was right when I saw you for the first time, you were my destiny!"
"Yes and I did lose my way in between but I found my beautiful destination at the end..."
She rested her forehead on his.
"Not the end, this is our beginning of beautiful life with our little devil."
He tucked a strand behind her ear and kissed her cheek.
"Right!"
She grinned.
"I love you so much."
He chuckled when she kissed his cheek like she is his biggest fangirl.
"I love you more."
He bit on her neck and she giggled when it tickled her.
"I wish for us to stay like this FOREVER!"
Mira pecked his lips.
"I'll make sure to keep this FOREVER happy."
He promised while locking with her lips again.
They both embraced each other while getting lost in love under a beautiful night.
Thanking and promising each other a beautiful and forever happy life.
The End!
