So Aanya has shut her eye.

Shaurya keeps staring at Anokhi and Aanya.

Shaurya-You know what. Jitna bhi keh loon Aanya ka mein favourite hoon but tum jaise uska khayal rakhti ho, usse nurture karti ho.

Anokhi-Waise tum bhi karte ho. We both give our best.

Shaurya-Hmmm. Waise I know tumhare liye difficult hai I mean Siac ke economics department ki responsibility, Aanya and ghar but do you think we should get Aanya a sister.

Anokhi-Pata nhi. Woh humare hath mein toh nhi hai naa ki sister hai yaa brother aayega.

Shaurya-Haan but you know what I mean.

Anokhi-I know.

Shaurya-So?

Anokhi-So? Planning karni start kardi hai maine. I mean financial planning.

Shaurya-Haan? And what about the other half of planning.

Anokhi-Shut up no one is going to believe you have chicken pox but other half is taken care of.

Shaurya-Haan?

Anokhi-Yeah I am pregnant. I thought to tell you when things get better but ab aise hi sun lo. But I don't think we should tell Aanya. You know kya hua tha the first time right. Iss baar bhi kuch waise hua toh. I don't want to let Aanya down.

Shaurya-Hey! You can never let her down. And jo hona tha woh ho gya. Nothing will happen ok. We got this. But you are right let's not tell Aanya now. But baki sabko toh bata hi sakte hai naa. And ek second what you are doing around us? You are pregnant, if you get chicken pox. (Not based on medical facts. I don't know how all of this works. Just a fanfic)

Anokhi-I won't. Abhi tak ho gya hota. I am vaccinated.

Shaurya-So were we.

Anokhi-Yeah but it runs through your family genes. Plus I got checked I am good.

Shaurya-Anokhi yaar! Are you sure yeh safe hai.

Anokhi-Jo bhi hai Aanya is my daughter who is already in this world and I need to be around her now. She needs me. She really needs me.

Shaurya-But mein doctor se baat kar loon.

So they walk a bit away and talk to the doctor to make sure it is safe for Anokhi to hang around them.

Anokhi-Ho gya. Ab please rest kar lo. Please. I want you to get well soon.

Shaurya-Ye news sunke ki theekh ho gya mein.

Anokhi-Achaa. Ek so teen is normal body temperature? Achaa note down kar leti hoon. Shaurya Sabbarwal definitions of normal ki diary mein.

Shaurya-Achaa tum mood off mat karo ab. Tumhe khush rehna hai I will get my rest you get yours.

Anokhi-Hmmm.

Once Shaurya sleeps, she sneaks and starts correcting the answer scripts that Shaurya was supposed to correct.
Shaurya notices after an hour.

Shaurya-Anokhi mein kar lunga.

Anokhi-Chup. Aur aankhen band. Tumhe aise bukhar mein, chicken pox ke sath dekhna kam hai kya ki ab iss halat mein kam karte hue dekhoon. Please rest karo naa. I know tum pain mein ho but Aanya ke samne brave bante ho. Mere samne toh natak band karo. Dard ho rha hai naa. I can feel it Shaurya. I can.

Shaurya-Hmm thoda toh hoga hi. Chicken Pox hai. But no complaints. Mera bohot accha khayal rakh rhi hai meri wife.

Anokhi-Hmmm. But wife bhi kya kar sakti hai. Husband hyper active hai. Rest hi nhi karta.

Shaurya-Oh madam. Hyper active husband ke apne fayde hai. Tum bhul kaise jati ho.

Anokhi-Chup Aanya sun legi.

Shaurya-So? Aanya ko toh bas behen se matlab hai naa process kuch bhi ho.

Anokhi-Chup tum naa. Bas abhi bohot hua so jao. Kahan mujhe laga hum celebrate karenge. Aur kahan tum dono iss haal mein. Isliye jaldi se theekh ho jao naa please.

Shaurya-Hmmm. Tum stress mat lo. Mein theekh hi hoon aur Aanya bhi theekh ho jayegi.

Aanya-Mumma. Thandi hai. Bohot zyada. Achaa nhi lag rha.

Anokhi-Kya hua? Bacha?

She checks Aanya whose fever has increased. Anokhi and Shaurya both are stressed.

Anokhi and Shaurya keep mumbling sweet nothings to her. As Shaurya calls for Shaan to come up so that he can talk to doctor. As Shaurya doesn't want to leave Aanya's side. Anokhi keeps applying the cold wash cloth on her head. Both are very worried and stressed. The doctor suggests some medicine which Yash quickly gets. Due to stress Shaurya's fever also starts rising. So she gives them medicine. She somehow manages the scared Shaurya and finally both, father and daughter are asleep. That's just when she realises she has to take class in place of  Shaurya. She takes the class sitting beside the bed and periodically stretching her hand and checking their temperatures. After that she goes down to prepare something for Aanya who likes only what Anokhi makes for her. She makes her something to eat and then makes what Shaurya likes to eat. And gets the food upstairs.

Anokhi-Aanya utho khana kha lo.

Aanya-Bhookh nhi hai mumma.

Anokhi-Please beta. Aapko theekh hona hai naa?

Aanya-Mumma taste nhi hai.

Anokhi-I know bachaa. Isliye sham ko aapko mein achaa soup doongi. But abhi ke liye bhindi sabzi banaya hai. Aapko pasand hai naa. Please kha lo.

Aanya-No mumma.

Shaurya stirs from his sleep.

Shaurya-Aanya dekho naa mumma ne kitna accha khana banaya hai. Mein toh kha loonga phir aapke liye nhi rahega. Taste toh kar lo.

Aanya reluctantly tastes and loves it.

Anokhi-I know tumhe bhindi utni pasand nhi. Tumhare liye karele ki sabzi bana diya aur aloo ki bhi.

Shaurya-Anokhi kya karti ho tum? Itna sab kuch bana rhi thi. Tumhe rest karna chahiye aur tum ho jo yeh sab kar rhi ho. Aanya ka mujhe pata hai. Uske liye banaya theekh hai mere liye kyu kia. Kuch bhi kha leta mein.

Anokhi-Aanya meri beti hai aur tum mere pati. Dono important ho. Isliye bana diya. Ab chup chap khao.

Shaurya-Tum bhi naa Anokhi. Bas kaam karti rehti ho.

Anokhi-Tum theekh ho jao bas. Fir mein rest kar lungi.

Aanya-Mumma aap bhi not well ho?

Anokhi-Nhi toh.

Aanya-Toh papa kyu keh rhe hai aapko rest karna chahiye? Mein aapko pareshan karti hoon isliye aap bhi not well ho gye? Mere liye yeh mat banao next time se.

Anokhi-Chup. Mein well hoon. Tumhe toh pata hai naa papa ko mumma ki kuch zyada hi care hai. And tum naa demand karti ho toh achaa lagta hai. Tumhare face pe smile bohot pyari hai aur woh dekhte hi mumma ki sari thakhan udd ke chali jati hai.

Aanya-Sach mumma?

Anokhi-Hmmm. Ab mein aapko khila deti hoon.

She lovingly feeds Aanya.

Shaurya-Achaa mumma Aanya ko khilayegi toh mumma ko kaun khilayega? Papa hi naa. So he starts feeding her.

Aanya-Nhi mein.

Aanya also puts some food in Anokhi's mouth and Anokhi kisses her fingers and hugs her. They spend some family time.
