"Ab kanya ki maang bhariye"
(Now fill the bride's hairline with vermilion) the priest said with in his same sharp shrill voice.

Following the priests instruction, Rrahul filled her hair line with the sacred red power which has now become one of the most important accessory of her life.

Followed by wearing the nuptial chain and the just married couple was now pronounced as husband and wife.

Rrahul holding her hand, pulled her to himself and lifted her high in air, thus securely interlocking his arms around her. He looked at his wife, smiling lovingly at her, "I love you Helly" he said and she reciprocated the feeling by planting a soft kiss on his forehead, "I love you too Rrahul"

But the fun fact was, the hooting voices of their friends were replaced by the shrill cry of a baby.
She looked around, but couldn't find any happy face.
Everything around was dark, only the shrill cry; which subsided down for a moment but took on a much higher sharp note......

"Oh.. " the cry made Helly's  two eyelids to open apart with a jerk. Dreamily, she looked around the room and realised, that the crying noise was none other than, thier baby's.

Yes. It's been 2 months since Helly and Rrahul got married and now they have a baby boy.

You all might think, baby is 2 months? Ah..Ah.. Don't run your wild thoughts, the child making all sorts of crying noises is their adopted son.

Helly and Rrahul have adopted Rihan from Joshua after she was given the punishment of life long imprisonment for her deeds.

Sleepily, Helly nudged Rrahul to get up and have a look at the child, but it looked as if he was in a deep slumber.
Sighing she got out of the bed and took their son in her arms.

"Rihan" she said pouting, "....Baby why do you have to cry at night?" She asked and started rocking him in her arms.

The cry subsided slowly and Helly took him to their bed and rested him softly beside her. She then patted his chest and put him off to sleep.

"He slept" she mumbled to herself giving a small chuckle and  lied down. As she lied down and was about to doze off to sleep, Rihan cried out loud again.

Helly sat up with a jerk and looked around perplexed. It is when she realised that the noise that negatively excited her heart was the  cry of their baby.

"Sleep Helly... I am there" she heard her husband saying which relaxed her immediately. Rrahul was busy rocking the kid in his arms and whistled at him slowly.

"I almost went to a deep slumber" she said rubbing her face and rested her back against the headboard.

"Then go back to your deep slumber. I'll take care of him" he said rocking the kid again while whistling.  Helly can't help but smile at her two boys.

"Don't you get tired Rrahul?" She asked mixing a bowl of porridge with lot of milk kept at the side table and then filled it into the baby bottle.  She the handed it over to Rrahul.

"Of? Running into your mind?" Asked Rrahul wiggling his eyebrows while softly pushing the bottle the child's plumpy lips.

"Well you do run into my mind" said Helly biting her lower lip which still didn't fail to run goosebumps down her husband's neck.

"Ah huh" He asked.

"Mhmm..Hmm.." She responded, while the naughty smirk never leaving their face.

"But seriously..." Taking off her eyes from him Helly said, ".....Despite of your busy schedule, you take out time for us" she added.

"Come on Sweetheart" said Rrahul in a typical heavy voice, "..... you guys are my responsibility, my love, my everything. How can I not ?" He said nonchalantly and looked at their son who was busy sucking out the semi liquid food from the feeder.
