Epilogue

One year later

" Rahul please get up… What are you doing? There are so many things to be done. We have to be ready also." I tried to push him away from me as he was sleeping snuggled into me. His arm and a leg were on top of me. I had to get up and help mom with all the preparation.

I picked up the glass of water that was lying on the side table and poured it on him. He immediately got up. " What is this Priya? What's wrong with you? Why can't you let me sleep peacefully?"

" Rahul, are you forgetting that we have so many things to do today? Come on, get up and get ready fast. Go and see if all the arrangements are done and if Rohit needs any help. It is his special day. I also have to help mom in preparation for all the rituals." He smiled and nodded.
