A RoNakshi FF- Hero for Hire

Chapter 164

Sonakshi was dumbfounded.

'What? Seriously?'

Sonakshi looked at him incredulously.

'Yes! It's the simplest solution! Pehle kyun nahin socha!'
Rohit slapped a hand on his forehead, berating himself.

'Rohit..'

He turned to her, suddenly realising how she must be taking it.

'I'm sorry! My brain is running away with me! I didn't even ask or discuss this with you..khud bol diya..but believe me, Sona, yeh mere zehen mein abhi hi aaya..tum kya socho gi, kya bolo gi...'

Sonakshi went and put a palm over his mouth, stopping his tirade. Her gaze met his, and he could see the unshed tears, threatening to spill over.
She shook her head at him, and hugged him, putting her arms around his waist, and her head on his chest.

'Sona! You don't like the idea?'

Sonakshi couldn't speak, her feelings overwhelming her. She just tightened her arms around him.
Rohit looked down at her, in time to see tears rolling down her cheeks.

'No, no! Please ro to mat! Mein to bas bol raha tha..lekin tumhari raye ke bagher to kuch nahin hoga..mein..'

'I love the idea!'

Rohit stopped speaking, and saw her lift her face towards him.

'You..you do?'

She nodded, tears on her chin and nose.

'I..I wanted to suggest that before, lekin..tumhari baaton ne mujhe..mein nahin bol paayi..'

'Kya bol rahi ho?'

'Tumhari woh sab baaten, ke tum mere saath woh lamhay guzaarna chahte ho, mere andar woh changes dekhna chahte ho..mein darr gayi thi..ke tum adoption ke liye kabhi nahin maano ge..'

'What? Tumne pehle kyun nahin bataya mujhe?'

'Kaise bata ti? Or aaj bhi, tum mujhe kisi takleef se guzarte dekhna nahin chahte, disappoint hona nahin chahte..'

He tightened his hold around her.

'Oh, God! Sona! Mein..meri samajh nahin araha..mein theek soch raha hun na, ke nahin?'

'Rohit! Will you be ready for a baby that we did not make?'

Her words seemed loud in the silence that followed. Rohit struggled with his thoughts, before finally speaking.

'I want to raise a baby with you, a child we can nurture and watch grow..will an adopted child be any different? Sirf paida hi to nahin karenge..baqi sab to kar sakte hain na? Apna naam to de sakte hain? It will be ours..mera or tumhara..'

'I can't believe ke tum yeh sab keh rahe ho..'

'Sona! Believe me! Ab jaise jaise soch raha hun, mujhe bohot acha lag raha hai. I've seen you with Ronit, or phir ab Soham. I know you will make a wonderful mother. Or phir woh baby hamara hi kehlayega na, Rohit or Sonakshi ka baby...'

Sonakshi kept looking at him, awed by his words.

'Kuch bolo to..please..let me know if I don't sound crazy here..'

'No, no! Never crazy! In fact..'
She took his hand and placed it on her heart. It was beating double time. He looked at her inquiringly.

'Yeh mere dil na..ek hi hai..tum kitni baar jeetoge?'

'Ohh! Ab yeh dialogue filmy nahin hai?'
He teased her.

Sonakshi smiled through her tears.

'Rohit! I love you, so so much! Tum world ke best husband ho, mere sab kuch! Itna sab..yes, yes! Let's do this!'
