Cradle of Joy

First kick

"bahut dard hai kya haseena" Anubhav asked out of concern while massaging her back with warm oil.
"Nai Anubhav...bas halka halka jo rehta hi hai....aaj bahut jyada exhaust ho gae thae na... shayd issyle aaj jyada taklif hai" she said with closed eyes enjoying her massage. His fingure's  were doing magic to her skin. A sense of soothing sensation was striking her.
"Haseena hum keh rahe hai appse...please man jayiye maternity leave k lie...apka satva(7th month) mahina shuru ho gaya hai....subh uth k excercise, phir thane jana aana...sham ka yoga...sab kuch apko exhaust kar dega" he said insisting.
"Anubhav please na...humne apse promise kia hai ki hum bilkul stress nai lege...aur thane me bbi thodi der k lie jayege....aur thana bi humara Ghar hi tho hai...vaha to sab pariwar k hi log hai ....kyu baby..."she said touching her tummy
"Apke nani bua masi mamu sab hai na vaha" she said cutely.
He pulled fixed her tshirt back making her lay.
"Haseena parantu hume chinta hoti hai "
He said out of concern.
"Acha thik hai Anubhav, din k 4 ghante? Itni der tho app hume jane de sakte hai?" She said insisting.
He pulled her into his arms, slightly tapping her, kissed her forehead.
"Bahut jiddi hai na app" he said looking at her helplessly.
"Han thode se" she said chuckling.
"Par sirif 4 ghante? Usse ek min bi upar nai " he said firmly.
"Promise....aur dhanyawad shreeman...hume permission Dene k lie..." She said kissing his lips and laughing.
"Chaliye abb so jaiye bahut der ho gai hai"
"Hmmm " she nodded.
"Anubhav" she said in a serious voice.
"Han priye"
"huamra satva mahina shuru gaya hai...."
"Han priye tho isme kya Vishesh hai ...."
"Abhi tak humare bache ne hume kick kyu nai kia" she said worrying.
"App chinta kyu kari hai bache...abhi tho 7th month shuru hua hai....aur har bacha apne samay anusar lat marta hai... jaruri nai sab samit ho..." He said calming her.
"Apko kaise pata...apko konsa experience hai" she said with a frown.
He laughed at her antics.
"
"voh issyle meri priye kyu ki hum aaj kal garbhawastha aur parenting k upar kafi kitabe aur articles padte hai" he said smiling.
"Humare nakhre jhelne se aur duty se apko kab phursat milti hai jo a

"So jaiye abb " he pecked her lips.
"Anubhav bataiye na...kab padi apne books..." She said insisting like babies.
"Priye lagta hai bahut dino se humne apko danta nai hai tho fayda na uthaiye...mr cute se Mr khadoos bane me jyada Samy nai lagega hume...so jaiye abb der ho gai hai .." he said firmly.
" Khadus....huh" she said with a cute frown.
He laughed kissing her forehead and slept wrapping arms around her bump.
~~~~~~
"Vaise ammi ....humne apko pheli bar jab kick kia tha...tab apka kaisa reaction tha...aur Abba ka kaissa reaction tha " she said sipping her tea.
Ammi smiled reminiscing those memories....
"Hume aaj bi yad hai...hum tumare Abba se uss din bahut gussa ho gae thae...kisi bat pe...humari khub bhehas hui thi....Haan...tere nam ko lekar hi....
Tere abba ka vishwas dek kar tho hume bhi yakeen ho gaya tha ki hume ladki hi hogi....kyu ki itni shiddat se tere abba ne har masjid me dua mangi thi tere hone ki...."
While Haseenas eyes turned teary smiling...
Haseena went and rested her head on Ammis chest while listening to her beautiful narration...she closed her eyes as she wanted to imagine and experience the scenario.
"Phir..."
Ammi continued her narration tapping her...
"Phir...phir...yeh hua...ki humne gusse me uss din khana nai khaya tha...jab ki humne khub sare laddoo aur namkeen kha lia tha ...par tumare Abba ko satatne k lie jataya tha ki humne subh se kuch nai khaya ..😂..." While haseena laughed.
"Phir tumare abbu humare Age piche ghum rahe tahe ...hume manane k lie...phir humne kaha ki phele app wada kariye humari beti ka nam hum rakege tho tumare Abba ko manna pada...unhone humare peth pe sar rakh kar kaha...
"Huamri pyari Rajkumari...apka nam bhale apki ammi rakegi...par ek nam voh hoga...jise sirif hum hum apko
Pukarege....deal...."
"Aur bas yeh khete hi tumne pheli bar lat mari....tumare abbu aur hum 5 min tak suunnn hoke ek dusre ka muh dek rahe thae...ki kya yeh sch tha....hum dono ki ankho me assu the...
Tumare abbu ne phir badi ummed aur pyar se kaha ..meri gudiya ..phir se ek bar...abbu k lie laat maroo...tumne phir se lat mari thi..." Ammi smiled...while haseena was in tears now... she started sobbing!..
Ammi got tensed ...."haseena meri bachi....dek beta ..aisee rote nai hai...Abbi tho has rahi thi.....has de meri bachi" ammi said kissing her forehead.
"Abbu" she sobbed.
"Abbu yahi hai bete...tu hi tho kehti hai...ammi abbu humesha humare sath hai...aur tu tho apne abbu ki Sher bachi hai...dek apni nanhi si jan k lie rona band kar...agar tere abbu tuje aise dekte tho kya unhe acha lgta?.." with this haseena stopped crying...
"Nai...hum abbu k Sher bache hai...humare abbu yahi hai...yahi hai...." She said wiping her tears...
She crassed her tummy and smiled.
~~~
It's been 2 weeks already...
Haseena's mind was occupied only with thoughts that when will her baby kick her. She had been patiently yet eagerly waiting...also being tensed for the same..
"Ms" her thoughts were interuppted when Pushpa ji called her .
"Han ...han...Pushpa ji ..ayiye na" she smiled.
"Hume apse nai ... humari beti se bat karni kuch der klie..." Pushpa ji smiled. She had sensed that Haseena is occupied with some kind of thoughts all these days.
She smiled and nodded.
"Kya bat hai beta...app itni pareshan kyu hai kuch dino se ..."
Haseenas expression changed...she touched her tummy and crassed it gently.
"Chotu ko lekar pareshani hai kuch "
"Nai Pushpa ji...bas hum voh yeh soch rahe hai....ki 7th month bhi adha pura hone aya hai...par Abi tak humare bache ne lat nai Mari pushpa ji....hume bahut tension hora hai " she said worrying.
PS crassed her hair and placed her hand on her tummy
"App chinta mat kijiye beta ..har bacha apne samay se lat marta hai
Koi koi bacha jaldi tho koi der se ..abb koi bacha bolta der se hai...koi samay se phele chalne lagta hai ...har bache ka apna apna growth cycle hota hai...app chinta na kijiye " she smiled.
"Hmmm" she nodded.
"Yahi bat hum inhe samja samja kar thak gae Pushpa ji" Anubhav came smiling...
"Jai hind sir..." They saluted.
"Jai hind"
"Kyu itni chinta karti hai priye...acha agar apko taasali nai hori hai tho hum kal doctor k pass chalte hai....phir tho apko taasali hogi" anubhav said
She nodded.
Pushpa thought to leave them alone...
Anubhav went and sat on the sofa in her cabin. Haseena went and rested her head on his chest and closed her eyes.
"Chai peeoge?" He asked her smiling.
"Man nai hai.."
Ks entered their cabin.
Ks had noticed she was not in mood.
She signalled anu to what happen to her...he nodded that everything was fine..
While ks recieved a call...
"Kaa....aisa kaise ho sakta hai....
Tumne dyan se kam hi nai hoga...
...kaa matlab ki humne galat clue dia...

While haseena woke up in shock....
Touching her baby ..
"Anubhav......." She almost screamed...
"Amma rakho phone" ks also got shocked..
"MS/ haseena..." Ka ahua...
And they were starting at her ...
She was just over joyous touching her tummy and in tears..
"Kaa hua...bhabi...dard hora hai kya apko...doc ko bulae?"
"Ha priye...kya hua...bataegi....app..."
"Laat Mari...." She sighed...
"Kya...."
"Baby ne....kick kia... anubhav....baby ne kick kia...." She said fumbling in tears...
Ks and as both looked at each other shocked and surprised..
"Sach mae Haseena.....kab lat mari.....appne..ne hume kyu nai bataya tab...hume bi mehsus karna thaa" anubhavvv said anxious
"Bhabhi...ka bat Kari hai app...bache ne sach me lat mara..."ks was super happy
Both anubhav and ks kept their heads on her belly..
"Beta phir se maro na...baba k lie .pls"
"Ks...app voh...kahiye na...."

"Aise nai...apne style me...jaise app bolti hai..."
"Kya keh rahi app haseena"
"Han bhabi yeh kyu"
"Pls"
"Amma topa ho ka" in her typical style... And baby kicked again ..
This time both ks and as felt the kick...
They were shocked surprised and hell happy.....all 3 of them were in tears...
"Dekha anubhavvv...baby abi se bua ka chamcha hai" haseena chuckled teary eyed...
"Haseena humare bache ne sach me lat mari..." He was still fumbling. haseena cupped his face and nodded.
While ks was still shocked
"KS" HASEENA pulled her out of her thoughs.
Ks was feeling a sheer solitude...a thought that baby actually reacted to her words...she was overwhelming itself for her ..
She nodded negativily and smiled teary eyed...both anubhav and ks kissed her bump...
"Huamra bacha...." They said in unison.....
And baby kicked again....while haseena laughed
