Everyone in the family had noticed the tension between the two. They were ignoring each other on the breakfast table. They decided not to interfere in their personal matter. Everyone knew they loved each other very much and will be back to normal soon.
It was Saturday and so it was Bhavna and Dhriti's off today. She was thinking of going somewhere when her phone rang. It was Chhaya.
"Mujhe tujhse milna hai. Abhi."
(I want to meet you. Right now.)
"Naa hi na hello. Where are your manners Chhaya."
( No hi no hello.)
"Bhavna i am serious. Please yaar."
"Kya hua? All okay?"
(What happened?)
"Hnn. Tu mil. Milkar bataungi."
(Yes. You meet me. I will tell you.)
"Okay. Mai waise bhi soch rhi thi kahi bahar jaane ka. Dhriti ko bhi saath mai lau toh koi problem toh nhi hai na?"
(Anyway i wad thinking about going out. Will it be a problem if Dhriti comes along?)
"Nhi nhi. Koi problem nahi hai. Bas tu aaja."
(No no. No problem. You just come.)
"Okay."
She asked Saroj and Damini if she can go and meet Chhaya. They nodded and said that she didn't need to ask, just inform. She smiled at them and then asked Dhriti if she would come. She asked her where they were going and Bhavna told her that they would go to a mall.
Dhriti immediately ran off to her room to get ready. The three ladies laughed at her. She came out in 5 minutes all ready to go. They reached the mall and saw Chhaya's car parked there. They saw her pacing around the entrance. As soon as she saw them she hugged Bhavna and Dhriti too.
"Mujhe kuch important baat krni hai. Jaldi chalo."
(I need to talk about something important. Come fast.)
She held their hands and pulled them inside. They went to the washroom.
"Kya hua? Yaha kyu laai hai?"
(What happened? Why did you bring us here?)
"I think i am pregnant."
She blurted. Bhavna looked at her and then at Dhriti who was looking at her and then they looked back at her.
"What?!"
They said together.
"Yes."
"How do you know? Did you get it confirmed from the doctor?"
"From the past few weeks i have been behaving weird. I mean extreme mood swings, weird cravings, dizziness and i missed my period. So doubt tha. I took a test and it was positive. But then doctor ke paas bhi gyi, she said ki 2 ghante mai reports bhej degi. Aane wali hongi."
(But then i went to the doctor also, she said that i will get reports in 2 hours. They must come anytime.)
She said and just then her phone pinged. She panicked.
"Oh god. Oh god. Its here. Mujhse nhi dekha jaayega. Tu dekh kar bta na."
(I can't do it. Please look at it and tell me.)
She passed on her phone to Bhavna. Bhavna gave the phone to Dhriti and made Chhaya sit on a chair.
"Relax. Take deep breaths. Ab sun. I know its a overwhelming situation, but try and calm down. Sab sahi hoga."
(Now listen. Everything will be fine.)
"I know but i am scared. What if.. what if its negative."
"Well then you know that you want a baby. Jiju se baat kario. Okay."
(Talk to jiju.)
She nodded and Dhriti handed her the phone back. She took a deep breath and opened the reports. She looked at Bhavna with tears in her eyes. Bhavna understood and hugged her. She started crying and hugged her back tightly.
Dhriti looked at them curiously waiting for anyone to say something. When they did not say anything she asked.
"What happened? Mujhe bhi batao i also want to join in."
(Tell me i also want to join in.)
They laughed hearing her. Chhaya wiped her tears and mumbled a 'positive'. Dhriti started squealing and jumping as soon as she heard that. She hugged Chhaya and congratulated her. She was two months pregnant. They went the baby shops for buying some baby outfits to surprise Advik. They got a 'Hi Dad' onesie and a pair of cute little shoes. They then shopped some more when Chhaya sent Dhriti to get some food and wait for them in the food court.
She then took Bhavna aside and said.
"Kya baat hai? Tera mood off lag rha hai."
(What happened? Youe mood seems off.)
"Kuch nhi."
(Nothing.)
"Jooth mat bol. Is it something about Jiju?"
(Don't lie.)
Bhavna sighed and nodded and told her that they juat had a small argument. Chhaya asked her if it was anything serious and she shook her head assuring her that everything was fine. They went to the food court where Dhriti was waiting for them.
They had their food and went back home. As soon as they entered Dhriti started telling everyone about Chhaya's pregnancy. Bhavna saw everyone sitting in the living room. 'They are home early today' she thought and looked at Devesh. He was already looking at her. She averted her eyes and went to her room to freshen up.
They were sitting with everyone after having dinner. Talking about random things. She had noticed Devesh looking at her guiltily but she ignored him. As soon as they entered their room Bhavna went to the washroom. She came back a few minutes later and saw Devesh standing near the dressing table. She ignored him and went to the bed. She lied down and covered herself with the duvet.
She heard him sigh and a few moments later she felt the bed dip and she was pulled backwards in a hug. Her back touching his chest. She gasped at the sudden action and started struggling, trying to push him. She stopped struggling when she heard his tired voice.
"I am sorry."
When she didn't say anything, he continued.
"I was frustrated over something about the project. There were some issues jiski wajah se wo project hamare haath se jaa rha tha. The project we have been working on from past so many days. Aur uska gussa tumpar nikal diya maine. I am sorry."
(There were some issues due to which we were losing the project. And it's anger came out on you.)
She turned around in his arms, now facing him.
"You shouted at me. Wo bhi itni tez."
(That too so loud.)
"I know and i am feeling so guilty right now. Please forgive me."
He said holding his ears. She smiled and hugged him but then suddenly pulled back.
"What about the project? Did you get it?"
She asked excited. He chuckled at her and kissed her forehead.
"Yes we did."
"Really! Congratulations!"
She said kissing his cheek. He looked at her naughtily.
"You can congratulate in a better way. You know. A much, much better way."
He said kissing her nose and then lips. And soon they were lost in their world of passionate lovemaking.
They were laying in each other's arms panting, trying to catch their breaths when Devesh spoke.
"Kahi bahar chalte hai. We did not have our honeymoon right."
(Lets go somewhere.)
"Really! Kaha chalenge? Par aapka project?"
(Where? But your project?)
"Wo Vaibhav aur sambhal lenge. Kuch dino ki hi toh baat hai."
(Vaibhav and everyone will handle that. Its just a matter of a few days.)
"Okay. But kaha chalenge?"
(But where?)
"Hmm. Surprise!"
He said flicking her nose with his. She pouted at him. He smiled at her, kissed her forehead and pulled her closer. Soon they slipped into slumber.
