Empty

Hollow

Incomplete

Broken

This is what Nitya has been feeling since she came to her maternal home. Even though this is her home too but her heart yearns for her real home. The one she made with her husband whom she loves to the moon and back, the one where her little world resides.

But Atharva snatched all that from her. He broke her all dreams, trust and left her to her own. He stopped her not once but several times when she was leaving but not once for the right reason. She would have forgiven him for raising a finger at her even at the cost of her self respect but she can't forgive him for questioning their innocent little life who has not even stepped in this world. Her mind is still not able to come to terms with the fact that he questioned their symbol of love.

It's been two days and he had not spoken with her. Just called once to talk with Agastya. Her eyes teared up remembering their time together. Is love not for her? First Vedant cheated on her and made her feel like shit and now Atharva!! She thought he was different from her ex-boyfriend but alas he too betrayed her although in a different way. But still a betrayal is a betrayal.

Her train of thoughts and juggling emotions came to stop when her stomach churned and she sprinted carefully towards the washroom to throw up. After emptying all the contents of her stomach, she splashed droplets of cold water on her face and cleaned her mouth. Coming out, her gaze fell on her small boy who stood looking in the direction of washroom with a cute frown on his face.

Agastya snuggled to his mother's side as soon as she settled on bed : You vomit again mommy???? Not well????

Nitya smiled softly caressing his face and cradled him close : Mommy is fine darling. You don't need to worry........

Agastya : Then why you vomit. Is your tummy paining??

Nitya : No but I have something in my tummy because of which mommy's tummy is upset........

Agastya : What you have mommy??

Nitya : Mommy is having a little baby inside her tummy

Agastya's eyes widened : Babyyyy????? How??

Nitya's face flushed hearing his question. How does she explain him now regarding the foetus inside her womb.

Agastya : Mommy did you eat a baby so it's in your tummy??

Nitya : No no I mean mommy didn't eat it Agastya. God came and placed it inside me.

Agastya : When?? I didn't see God coming......

Nitya : Umm....you were sleeping when he came at night

Agastya : Oh!! You should have woken me up mommy......

Nitya sighed : Sorry!!

Agastya : Mommy can God give this baby to someone other.....

Nitya : Why??

Agastya : Because I am your baby right!! No want one more....

Nitya cooed drawing him closer : Ofcourse you are my baby darling but don't you want another small brother or sister with whom you can play, do mischief, take care of him or her because you will be it's big brother.

Agastya's little face morphed into a thoughtful expression : I will be big brother mommy??

Nitya : Hmm and you will be responsible for your small sibling.....

Agastya : Still no mommy. Only I your baby

Nitya : Darling please don't be stubborn. You be always be my first baby but mommy also wants this new one. Can you agree to it??
