They heard a shrill voice and pulled back. Bhavna jumped from the desk amd Devesh hid her behind him. She straightened her clothes and his hair. They turned around to look at the interupter. It was his secretary.
"You are supposed to knock and ask for permission before entering Miss Maya."
"Ye ho kya rha tha?"
(What is happening here?)
"I don't think that i need to explain to you about anything i do in my office. In my cabin with my wife."
Devesh said now fuming.
"She is your wife?"
"Yes she is. Any problem Miss Maya?"
He said pulling Bhavna closer to him.
"N-no sir."
Maya stuttered and hurriedly left the room keeping the file she bought with her.
"She is getting unbearable now. Kab khatam hoga ye hafta."
(When will this week be over.)
Devesh muttered. Bhavna kept her hand on his arm and that seemed to calm him down. He smiled at her and started to show her the office.
**************************************
Bhavna was in the kitchen helping her taiji and maa to prepare breakfast. Dhriti came there sleepily asking for her coffee. Bhavna prepared her coffee and gave it to her. She was going to back to the kitchen when they heard a loud voice.
"Dhriti!"
Dhriti heard this and hid behind Bhavna holding her shoulders.
"Bhabhi bachao."
(Bhabhi save me.)
"Kya hua Adarsh aise kyu chilla rha hai?"
(What happened Adarsh why are you shouting?)
Bhavna asked a fuming Adarsh. Adarsh looked at Bhavna and calmly said.
"Bhabhi dekhiye na kya kiya iss dayan ne."
(See bhabhi what she has done.)
Adarsh showed his shirt on which 'All the best bhai
"Bhai itne dino se apni first meeting kr liye tensed the. Mai bas thode der ke liye unka dhyaan divert kr rhi thi."
(Bhai was very tensed about his first meeting since so many days. I just wanted to divert his mind for some time.)
She mumbled lowly. Adarsh sighed and hugged her.
"Toh meri shirt hi mili thi tujhe. Yaar mirror pr likh deti. Ab mujhe dusri shirt press krni padegi."
(And you got my shirt only. You could have written on the mirror. Now i would have to press another one.)
Dhriti smiled at him sheepishly. Bhavna shook her head at them. They are always fighting but love each other the most.
They wished him a goodluck and they left for their works.
**************************************
Chhaya was now 7 months pregnant and today was her baby shower. Bhavna was wearing a green lehanga.
She helped Chhaya get ready. She was wearing a green saree.
The rituals and puja started and Bhavna was helping Chhaya's mother-in-law in other works. Devesh was looking after the arrangements.
They came back home extremely tired and immediately went to bed sleeping in each other's arms.
The next morning Bhavna woke to a strong feeling of nausea. She pushed Devesh to get out of his arms effectively waking him up and rushed to the washroom. Devesh ran after her when he heard her retching. He pulled her hair back and rubbed her back.
When she was done, she brushed her teeth and slumped against him. He carried her in his arms and put her on bed.
(I don't know. I think it's because of the ras malai i ate yesterday.)
He nodded worriedly and pulled her to him. She slept again due to tiredness. They woke up around 8 and went downstairs. It was Sunday and so it was an off for everyone. They decided to play cricket.
The teams were: Team 1- Arjun, Damini, Devesh, Dhriti and Vaibhav.
Team 2- Saroj, Karan, Bhavna, Sahil and Adarsh. It was Bhavna's batting. She made 23 runs.
The end score was 127 of Team 1 and 129 of Team 2. Bhavna was teasing Devesh about his defeat. A helper came with cold coffees for everyone. As soon as the smell of coffee hit Bhavna she again felt nauseous and ran into her room. Everyone got worried and Devesh ran after her.
He got worried to see her vomiting again. She cleaned up and he carried her to the bed.
"Doctor ko dikha lete hai. It could be food poisoning or infection."
(Let's consult a doctor.)
"Nhi its ok. Its just-"
"No. Hum kal jaa rhe hai and that's final."
(We are going tomorrow and that's final.)
"Okk fine. But mai chali jaaungi maa ke saath. Aapki meeting hai kal."
(I will go with maa. You have your meeting.)
"Pakka?"
(Promise?)
"Pakka."
(Promise)
They went down and assured everyone that she was fine. Devesh asked her mother to take her to the doctor to confirm. She nodded and Bhavna asked them to start a movie to divert their attention.
**************************************
Bhavna and Saroj were sitting in the doctor's clinic waiting for her reports. The doctor had taken her urine and blood test to check for any infection.
Saroj was very tensed because Bhavna had vomited four times since the previous day.
The doctor came in with the reports and a big smile on her face. Bhavna was stunned when she heard what the doctor had said.
"Congratulations Mrs. Singhania. You are 4 weeks pregnant."
Saroj was overjoyed hearing this. She looked at Bhavna who was still in shock. She squeezed her hands lightly and Bhavna looked at her with tears in her eyes. She couldn't believe that she was pregnant.
She was going to be a mother. Her baby. Their baby.
She hugged Saroj in happiness and Saroj patted her back. They thanked the doctor and asked her about the baby. The doctor gave them her next appointment date.
They went back home. Dhriti was back by this time. Saroj told Damini and her about Bhavna. Dhriti sqealed and hugged Bhavna and Damini did her nazar. Bhavna told them not to tell Devesh anything.
Saroj and Damini made her eat fruits and then told her to take rest. But denied saying that she was alright but in vain. She was in her room thinking about how she should tell Devesh.
"Devesh i am pregnant. Nah! Too simple."
"I am carrying your baby. Blah! Too formal."
"Ughh! Kaise bolu?"
(How should i tell him?)
"Idea!"
She exclaimed after some time and started doing something. Devesh came back at around 8 and headed to his room. Bhavna carefully walked to him and loosened his tie. He hugged her and kissed her forehead.
"Aapke liye koi envelope aaya hai."
(You have received an envelope.)
"Mere liye?"
(Me?)
"Hmm. Waha."
(There.)
He went to the side table and took the envelope. No sender's address. 'Strange' he thought. He opened it and took out its contents. There were two things. One was a card and the other was some paper.
He took the card and started reading it aloud.
"Hi papa
I can't wait to see you and mumma. See you soon papa. I love you."
