The Boundless Bond

Part 71

The excitement Ashwin and Ashima had was immeasurable after confirming it with the doctor. To know such a happy news on their wedding anniversary just made it more memorable to them. They got to their car and were just in each other's arms for good 5 minutes, living in the moment of happiness.

Ashima: how are you feeling abby?

Ashwin: abbbyyy, I don't even know what to say, can't express how it feels like. How are you feeling? You were saying you're nauseous right, ippo ellam ok va?

Ashima: looking at you like this, all those feelings went off, I'm feeling content right now

Ashwin: love you abby, I know this is not going to be an easy one for you but like always, I'm going to be here with you, by your side, throughout this whole pregnancy. Don't think I'm being cheesy or saying things to make you feel good, I mean what I'm saying abby

Ashima: I know we are in this together the moment we decide we're going to have a baby; you don't have to say all these to me. I know my abby better than anyone else

Ashwin side hugged Ashima and kissed on her hair. Then, they went back home, Ashwin started taking care of Ashima like a little baby though she told him she's doing fine. Later that evening, they wanted to let their family know. They made a group call with all of them.

Shweta: hey what a surprise, after a long time seeing the two of you 

Shekar & Lekha: epdi pa irukinga rendu perum? All good?

Ashwin & Ashima: we are doing good, how is everyone over there?

Shekar, Lekha and Shweta: we are fine pa

Then, Abishek, Ravi and Kalaiyarasi joined in the call.

Abishek: enna oru adhisayam, rendu perum kelambi varaporingala? Reason illama call varadhe

Shweta: correct'a sonna da, enna nu dhan therila

Ravi & Kalaiyarasi: neenga rendu perum summave irukamatinga dhana, evlo dhoorama irundhalum avangala tease panite irunga

Ashwin & Ashima: we miss them and their banters actually

All of them were laughing and catching up with each other.

Ashwin: ok everyone, I've got to tell something

Everyone else: what is it? are you both ok? why do you sound worried?

Ashima: adhu vandhu epdi solradhu...

Kalaiyarasi: hey Ashi what is it? edhuva irundhalum sollu ma

Ashwin and Ashima were trying their best to act but somehow, they were losing it seeing everyone being tensed.

Ashwin and Ashima: our family is getting bigger

The parents were confused, they couldn't get what did they just say but Shweta and Abishek understood it, they then screamed loudly saying "WHATTTTT". The parents were still confused, Shweta and Abishek then explained to them.

Kalaiyarasi and Lekha: Ashi???

Ashima was getting shy, she could barely look at camera, Ashwin held her hand and replied to them saying "Yessss, we are pregnant", Ashima nodded yes to it. 

All of them were so happy for these two, they even teased saying "Finally!!!". 

Shweta: so, when are you both planning to fly here?

Ashwin: fly a? why? naanga enna unna maari chumma va irukom

Shweta: na unkita pesala da nallavane, Ashi nee sollu da

Ashima: engaluku inga work lam iruku ka, epdi vara mudiyum

Abishek: akka, nee yen ivanga kita kekura, ipo paru namba parents pesuvanga

Ravi asked Ashima and Ashwin if they have planned on flying back, they replied saying no. Then, the parents told them to take care, reminded Ashwin to not let Ashima strain so much and bring her for regular checkups. The mummies had a longer conversation with Ashima.

And then, Ashima called up Kayal & Sandhya, informed them about it. These two were happier than anyone else, literally jumping in happiness. They missed each other badly, each were at one corner. But, whenever they catch up, it always feels like nothing ever changed.
