Bright sunlight fell on her, making Pallavi turn in her sleep. Sighing, she slowly opened her eyes, adjusting to the bright light. Stretching her arms, she looked beside her, only to find Raghav's side of bed empty and made up. Glancing at the digital clock, she saw the day and time, "Wednesday 11 A.M". She gasped in surprise, got up quickly and checked her phone. She was supposed to be at her work, not sleeping on the bed. The first message was from her assistant Monica, which read,

"Good morning ma'am, Raghav sir informed me that you won't be coming to the boutique today and to communicate all important things over messages and mails. Good day, ma'am"

The second message was from her husband which read,

"Good morning, wifey. Hope you slept well. Kal tum bahut tired lag raha tha, so I thought you should rest today. I have informed your assistant to look after the work. Take care 😘"

She took a deep breath. She would have been angry at Raghav any other day for this, but he was right this time. For the last two days, all she wanted was to sleep. It raised her concern which she planned to deal with later. She rushed into the washroom to get ready for the day.

Pallavi reached the dining room for a late breakfast. Pouring herself a glass of orange juice, she looked at what was there for breakfast when she heard Amma's voice, "Pallavi" to which she turned to face Amma, while Amma continued, "Aa jao, tumhare liye mai Poha banvaya hai, tum ko pasand hai na?" and started serving her breakfast. Pallavi suddenly realized that she was having breakfast at almost noon. "Amma'', she began explaining, "vo aaj mujhe uthane mein late ho gaya, vo...", which was cut short by Amma, "Pallavi beta, tum ko explain karne ka jaroorat nahi hai, kabhi-kabhi chalta hai. Waise tum theek toh hai na? Koi problem toh nahi hai na, office me ya aur kuchh?", Amma asked with concern. Pallavi was tempted to share with Amma but stopped herself. "Raghav should know first", she told herself, then answered her MIL, "I am absolutely fine, Amma. Aaj thoda lazy feel ho raha hai ''.

After lunch, Pallavi pondered about her situation. It all started four months ago, on their third wedding anniversary, when they had decided to start a family. She took the desk calendar and started counting the days since her last period began. "36 days", she said to herself and sighed. She was a week late, which definitely meant something. However, still unsure, she started to look for other signs. Taking up the calendar again, she began recalling unusual behaviors of her body. She remembered that she had some cramping about a week ago that she had brushed as PMS. Next she realized that her breasts were sore for a couple of days. Lastly she noted the fatigue. All early signs of pregnancy. She took a deep breath as the realization dawned upon her. "I may be pregnant", she told herself as a wide smile came on her face. Finally after months of waiting, they were expecting. She knew that she needed to confirm but her instinct told her she was definitely expecting. She picked up her mobile and called Raghav.

"Hello, Pallavi?" Raghav said from the other side.

"Raghav", she began, but stopped herself from spilling the beans, she had to see him when she gave him the news, she continued, "Tumne mera alarm off kiya, aur mere office me bola ki mai aaj nahi aa sakti?"

"Haan, vo...", Raghav began dreading the lecture that was going to come, but Pallavi cut him off by saying, "Thank you".

Raghav was surprised, which would be an understatement. Sensing no response from Raghav, Pallavi continued talking, "Tumne lunch kiya?" to which Raghav replied "yes".
