K A I R A

I closed my eyes. Suddenly plate crashing sounds came. We jerked away. He straightened his shirt and cleared his throat. “AHHHH...!” a scream came. “WAIT.. WAIT.” we heard Sitara's voice.

We ran downstairs. My eyes went wide, when I saw the kitchen's condition. Everything was shattered here and there. “WHO DID THIS ?” Mr. Shekhawat yelled entering in living room. I saw Aarna maa standing on the couch whereas Sitara running behind puppy who was rushing away from her. I caught the puppy, it whimpered looking at Mr. Shekhawat's glare. It hid itself in me. Sitara clutched my kurti. I gulped under his death glare, he glared me and and then down at Sitara.

He looked around at the living room. Then gestured us to come infront of him. We went near him. “What's going on behind my back ?” he asked in a calm tone. “D-da-dada.”

“Sitara." He warned. She pouted. “W-We were playing in the park when we found it and we decided to bring it home." I explained everything and told him from first. “SAKSHI. JOHN. ” they came running.

“Take this dog and send it to animals care center and don't bring it back, please." He ordered. She came forward to take it. I backed away,“No, I won't let you take it.”

“Kaira, give it.” John walked to. Sitara stood infront of me,“dawe (*dare) to touch it !” she huffed. ”Tara, don't be stubborn." He warned her and rose his voice. I gasped. His eyes soon flashed regret. “Baby,” before he could reach, she ran up to the stairs.

He hurried behind her. I too did the same. We saw her hiding under the bed. “Baby, daddy is so sorry, please come out. Please."

“NO. YOU BAD.” she sniffled. I got an idea. I kept puppy on the floor and pushed near the bed. The puppy barked. I noticed Sitara was slowly coming out from under the bed. She hugged the puppy who happily moved it tail. “I wown't wet (*let) you gwo, pwomise.", My eyes welled up at her tone.

Honestly, my pregnancy hormones always mess up everything.

He sighed,“okay, we are keeping it. Now okay ?" She started jumping and clapping her hands. I smiled widely, when she hugged my neck. “Thank you daddy.",She ran to his lap and hugged him. He kissed her hair.

“So, what is it's name ?” Sakshi queried. Sitara kept her hand on her cheek, thinking about it“Umm.. Pup. How's it ?"

“Hey, it's cute.” John replied. “And ya Kaira. Today we need to visit Dr. Das for your routine check up.” Sakshi reminded me. I face palmed ,“Oh yeah I  totally forgot about it. Wait till I get ready.”

“Awe, you siwck ?” Sitara asked. I shook my head,“Nah, I am not. I just need a check up.” she nodded and started playing with Pup.

. . .

“Boss, wait.” Sakshi shouted. She ran towards a car and opened the door for me and pushed me. She scurried to the passenger seat. “Let's go.” she exclaimed.

He looked at her with glare,“Why are you coming with me ? Take another car.” Sakshi nodded,“yeah but I don't want to drive today and the driver, you threw him out yesterday only.” he rolled her eyes.

He rolled his eyes,“Anyways.” he started driving. We were in half way when Sakshi shouted,“Stop.” we jerked because of sudden break. “Now what ?" Sakshi unlocked her side door,“Actually I got some emergency. You take her to hospital, please. And ya don't leave her alone. She is a crazy ass, she would murder. Bye.”

“Aree, what ? Wait.” before he could ask further, she was out. He looked me with the rearview mirror. Shit, he caught me staring at him. Damn Kaira..stop it. Why I am falling for this bastard ? But you couldn't blame me, ofcourse anyone will fall if there will be handsome hunks near her all the moments.

The car pulled up in the parking lot. I came out, holding my stomach. He was waiting patiently for me. After all the formalities we went towards Mr. Das cabin. We were said to wait as some patient was still inside. I was nervous. I was bouncing my leg. I looked around again lots of couples. I sighed heavily.

A old woman with a lady in her 30s came and sat infront of us. The old lady glanced at me,“How much month ?",“Four and half." I answered. She smiled,“You're so lucky, your husband is with you. My son is a number one idiot, couldn't even take her wife for monthly check-ups. You both are so perfect. Like made for each other." She smiled. “No, you-” before I could finish, the nurse called my name.

We went inside. “Good morning,” we greeted each other. “So Ms. Kaira, how is your health ?” Doctor asked. “Quite bad. I keep feeling tired and my taste buds have became wierd. It asked for weird, spicy or something sour. Which I really hate, sometimes I wake up during midnight with lots of cravings. But this bas- Mr. Shekhawat never keep chips or something in low cabinets. All would be so high. Is it fair?” I noticed Mr. Shekhawat turned his face away , god knows why?!

Mr. Das chuckled,“Haha..no. Now let's check if everything is alright with baby.” Suddenly my heart beat raised. “Hey, are you scared. Don't worry, that's alright. Everything will be fine.” Mr. Das said.

Suddenly Mr. Shekhawat kept his hand on my shivering hand. I was beyond shocked and may be so was he as he instantly left it. He cleared his throat. “Now, you know the procedure. Go ahead." I got up and left.

The nurse helped me. My stomach was having a little bump. A baby bump. I couldn't even explain how happy I was?! I would caress it all the time. I used to thing why those mothers on television kept caressing their stomach ? Now I understood why ?! The love and affection for an unborn baby was something ,no one could explain.
