Chhaya woke up earlier than usual and turned to Advik's side. He was sleeping peacefully with his arm around her. She leaned in a pressed a loud kiss on his cheek.
He stirred at bit and opened his eyes a bit. He smiled lazily looking at her grinning form and pulled her closer.
"Happy birthday meri jaan. I love you."
She said. He smiled and kissed her forehead. Mumbling a thank you he slept again making her pout.
She tried to get up but he didn't let her go.
"So jaao na. I know you are sleepy."
(Sleep.)
'Damn his morning voice!'
Chhaya thought and ignored the hormonal rush she felt in her body. She snuggled into him and slept again cuddling him.
They woke up again at around 9 am. Both of them took a shower and went out together. Advik took blessings from his parents and his sister hugged him and wished him a happy birthday.
They were planning to celebrate his birthday with family in the afternoon and Chhaya had planned a surprise for him in the evening.
After having breakfast both of them went to their room to get ready for the party. Advik was dressed in a black tux which was matching with her black saree.
She came towards him when he was setting his hair and hugged him from behind.
"Aapke liye ek surprise hai."
(I have a surprise for you.)
She whispered slowly. He looked at her amused and bought her in front of him. He circled his arm around her.
"Achha! Kya?"
(Really! What?)
"Shaam ko ek party hai. Aapke saare college aur school ke friends invited hai."
(There's a party in the evening. Your college and school friends are invited.)
"Woah! College toh thik hai. School ke friends kaha se mile tumhe?"
(College is fine. Where did you get my school friends from?)
She smiled cheekily.
"Facebook."
He chuckled at her cheeky grin.
"My cheeky baby."
He murmured and took her in a kiss. Just as he was about to deepen it she pulled back.
"Apna gift nhi mangenge?"
(You won't asl for the gift?)
"De toh dia. Shaam ko party."
(You have given. Party.)
"Wo toh surprise tha na. Gift thodi na tha."
(That was surprise. Not gift.)
She said mentally face palming.
"Ahan! Toh phir laaiye mera gift."
(Give me my gift then.)
He said and started kissing her neck.
"Arre mujhe chhodiye toh sahi."
(Leave me now.)
He hummed but did not budge. She pushed his chest a little and he let go of her.
She bought out the box and gave it to him nervously.
"Thank you."
He placed a chaste kiss on her lips and sat on the bed. Placing the gift on his lap he started unwrapping it.
Inside were a pair of cute little baby shoes and a onesie which said 'Hi Dad'.
"Cute! But mere size ke nhi hai."
(But not my size.)
He chuckled and looked at her. She was looking at him expectantly and slowly the smiled faded off his face and expressions of realisation took over.
He slowly took out the paper and opened it and released a wavered breath.
He kept the box aside and pulled her in his arms. He looked at her in the eyes. His own eyes teary.
"Is-is this true?"
He whispered slowly and she nodded feeling emotional. He kissed her forehead and his lips lingered there for some time and then pulled her in a tight yet gentle hug.
"I love you! I love you so much! Thank you meri jaan!"
He kept kissing her face making her giggle. She wiped the tear that slipped his eye and said.
"Achha ab bahar chale. Sab aane wale honge."
(Lets go out. Everyone must be about to arrive.)
He nodded and held her hand. They went out and took his parents blessing and told them the news.
"Hume kal se pata hai. It was a surprise for you."
(We knew it since yesterday.)
Ananya said while hugging him. He ruffled her hair and she whined while correcting them again.
They celebrated his birthday with their family and then in the evening both of them went to the venue where the party was organised.
He was happy to see all his friends after such a long time. Bhavna and Devesh came and congratulated both of them.
"Wow! Mere alawa sab ko pata tha."
(Everyone knew except me.)
He narrowed his eyes at her who smiled very innocently. He smiled and pulled her close kissing her head.
**************************************
It had been a week since they have discovered about Chhaya's pregnancy.
They were back from office and just as they entered the room after dinner Chhaya pulled him by his collar and slammed her lips on his taking him by surprise.
He walked towards the bed still not breaking the kiss and sat down with her on his lap. He pulled back and whispered.
"I don't want to hurt you or the baby."
"You won't."
"You sure?"
She nodded and he lowered her on the bed getting on top of her. He was slow and gentle yet so passionate and intense that she felt shivers down her body.
The aftermath had left them all sweaty and panting. Chhaya was laying with her head on his chest while he caressed her bare back.
"Advik aapko kya chahiye? Beta ya beti?"
(What do you want? Boy or girl?)
She asked while tracing his chest.
"I want a daughter. Mujhe hamesha se Ananya aur papa bond dekh kr bhut achha lagta tha. I mean not like meri aur unki understanding nhi hai but unn dono ka kuch alag hi hai. I love how she looks up to him for everything."
(I always loved papa and Ananya's bond. They have something different.)
He smiled looking at the ceiling as if imagining all of that.
"I want to have that bond with my daughter. But beta hua toh bhi chalega. I'll try to be the best father and friend to them."
(It will be fine even if it's a son.)
He said kissing her head softly. She hugged him and they slept cuddling each other.
**************************************
Two months later, they got to know that Chhaya was carrying twins and everyone was doubled with happiness.
Both Chhaya and Advik's mother's were on a shopping spree for the babies. They bought two sets each. Two for boys and two for girls in case the twins were both boys or girls.
Advik was sure that the babies were going to be very spoiled and why not? They were the first grandchildren from both of the sides. ************************************** One more chapter and then the epilogue is left.
