A RoNakshi FF- Hero for Hire

Chapter 173

'Oh my God!'

Sonakshi and Rohit both ran forward at the same time, shouting Arihaan's name.

He was lying face down on the floor, wailing his little lungs out. Sonakshi picked him up in her arms, looking for injuries.

'Mera bacha! I'm so sorry! Sab Mama ki ghalti hai..maine aap pe dihaan hi nahin diya..'

'No! It's my fault! Maine usse bed pe lita diya or phir tum se baat karne laga..'

'Baat nahin, tum mujh se behes kar rahe thay, Rohit!'

'Oh, really? You think I was wrong?'

'Ofcourse, I was just saying..'

'Isse hospital le chalte hain!'

'What? Hospital kyun? He will be okay..Arihaan..mera beta..'

'Nahin! I think we should take him. Sir pe chott lagi hai..kuch bhi ho sakta hai..'

'Kyun darra rahe ho? Aisa kuch nahin hoga..please, God! No! I'm sorry..'
Sonakshi had tears in her eyes, just thinking about it.

Arihaan didn't stop crying.

'Lao, mujhe de do..'
Rohit tried taking him in his arms, but Sonakshi resisted.

'Nahin! Let him be!'

'Sona! Ab phir argue karogi mere saath? Do mujhe!'

'Will you stop saying that? I wasn't arguing..'

'Bohot ziddi ho. Arihaan ko do yahan..'

Rohit took him from her and began pacing, but Arihaan held his arms out for Sonakshi.

Sonakshi gave him a look and lifted an eyebrow. He had no choice but to hand him back over to her.

Sonakshi tried soothing him, talking to him softly. He was amazed, as Arihaan quietened down, and stopped crying, only hiccups left.

'Rohit! Iss ki bottle bana do, please.'

Rohit, who had been hovering, moved to do so, and hurried back. Sonakshi sat on the sofa, and Arihaan took to the bottle greedily.

Rohit sat next to them, watching his son, as if still expecting him to cry.

'Dekho na..jaise bara ho raha hai, usse tumhari itni pehchaan hogayi hai ke tumhari hi godh dhoondta hai! Or tum jaane ki baat kar rahi ho..'

'Rohit! Iss ka uss se kya taaluq? Ofcourse, I'm his mother, to mujhe to dhoonde ga na! Or mein kahan uss se door ja rahi hun? I'll be back in two days..or din bhar bhi to mein nahin hoti hun na..sab hotay hain iss ka khayal rakhne ke liye..or phir, tumhe bhi utna hi pehchaanta hai..'

'Kahan? Dekha na abhi? He just wants you..' Rohit made a face.

'Han, to takleef mein to bacha maa ko hi dhoondta hai, but that doesn't mean he doesn't love you just as much.'

She burped Arihaan, and he began to smile.
Rohit and Sonakshi looked on in awe, both of them teary, somewhere, both  feeling guilty for what had happened.

'Rohit! I know you are a good father! Tum mujhse bhi zyada khayal karoge iss ka! Iss liye mujhe tension nahin ho rahi jaane ki..because I know you will be here for him.'
Sonakshi put a hand on his arm, and so did Arihaan.

'Aahhh..haww..' Arihaan held his arms out to Rohit.

A tear fell out of his eye, as he took his son in his arms,  and crushed him to his chest.

'Oh, God! I just love this little fellow. I'm so sorry, Arihaan..aap ke Baba ne aap ko owie lagwa di..aap maaf karoge na apne Baba ko?'

'Haww..haa..'
