💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

*Author's POV*

She came and sat on his lap, as he was reading 'The Hindu'...

Anu: Hey...

Aly: Hii...

Anu: Where are you lost these days? You don't talk to me much...

Aly: I have something going on in my mind...

Anu: And what is that?

Aly: I am sorry but I can't tell...

Anu: huh?

Aly: I know, I don't hide things from you usually but I can't tell you about it, not yet at least... It is about someone else and I care about them...

Anu: Is it something about Avneet and Sam? You dropped the custody case without an explanation...

Aly: You respected my choice and never demanded an explanation for that and I appreciate you for that but I can't tell you anything right now... I hope you understand and trust me here...

Anu: I do...
.
She said genuinely and he kissed her cheek before going back to the newspaper... While she rested her head on his chest and read along with him... Their relationship started in a messed-up situation... They had been married to different people and were afraid to lose it all... They were each other's dirty secret... But today, they are recognized by law as a legal, married couple... They are happy and have it all... They trust each other even if one has some secret, their love for each other is unconditional... Their love had the toxicity to betray their children, but their love also had the purity to accept all the flaws and mistakes they own... They were sitting in each other's embrace while reading the newspaper when his phone rang... The caller id made him worried... He never calls him unless it's about her... He panicked and picked up the call...

*On-call*

Aly: Hello?

Sid: Hii, hi Riyaz... Can you hear me?
.
He said panting...
.
Aly: Ya ya, I can't... What's the matter?

Sid: She is in labor... We are in hospital and I don't think it is an alarm...

Aly: What?!?

Anu (whispers): What happened?

Aly: (whispers back): She is in labor...

Anu: What?

Aly: But she still has time left, right?

Sid: Ya, it is a premature delivery... She is calling you please come as soon as possible...

Aly: I am coming...

*On-call*

And Anu got up from his lap as he ran to the car and she followed him... They zoomed to the hospital...
.
Anu: She did time for her due date, didn't she?

Aly: Ya, it's premature...

Anu: Ohh...

Aly: I am scared Anu...

Anu: I know...

Aly: No, you don't...

Anu: Ya, I know... I understand...

Aly: No, you don't... Her pregnancy is at high risk, the delivery was supposed to be very painful and risky, and now this premature pain... I-I-

Anu: What do you mean by high risk?
.
And he sighed audibly...
.
Anu: Is this what you are hiding from me? Is that why you took the case back?
.
And he nodded unable to speak further... Her eyes went wet as she saw her husband driving with a worried expression... No matter what people say, she knows that Riyaz cares for her, he always had... He even loves her, yes not in the way a husband loves his wife but he did love her... Soon they reached the hospital and saw a restless Jai in reception... As soon as Jai saw him, his hand turned into a fist... He looked angrily at his sister's ex-husband...
.
Jai: What are you doing here?

Aly: Siddharth told me that she is in labor...

Jai: That is none of your business... Get out of here...

Aly: It is my business... It is my child; she is giving birth to...

Jai: You have no right to call that child yours, it is her and only her child...

Aly: She-

Anu (interrupted): Riyaz stop...

Aly: I am not giving up today, not at this moment... The hospital records will oppose that... It doesn't matter if I am Avneet's husband or not, I am still that child's father...

Jai: She doesn't want you; she doesn't need you and neither does her child... She has her brother alive...

Aly: Where was her brother when she was searching for a house or looking for a job? Where were you when she needed you? She is eight months pregnant and lives in a separate house even though her family lives in the same place, why? Let me guess, Mr. Nandra's ego is bigger than her daughter's happiness...

Jai (loudly): ENOUGH!!

Receptionist: Quiet, this is a hospital...

Jai: Go away, Riyaz... You are no longer needed...
.
And as he said this, Siddharth too came there...
.
Sid: She called for him when we were bringing her here... As much as I hate to say this, I think he should stay...
.
And Jai glared at Riyaz and spared a glance at Sid before leaving...
.
Aly: Thank You...
.
And Sid nodded...
.
Aly: How is she?

Sid: Can't say anything right now...

Aly: Did she ask me?

Sid: She isn't like you or me, she has a big heart... She would not like it if the child came and its father was not here...

Aly: She does have a big heart...
.
And Sid left, before exchanging any other words... As Rinushka reached the hall, they saw Vaishnavi sitting on a bench... Anushka looked at Riyaz and he nodded positively understanding what she was going to say... And with that Anu went and sat next to Vaish...
.
Anu (slow): Di...
.
And Vaish looked at her, coming out of her imagination... She was not expecting her here and that was visible on her face...
.
Vaish: Hi...

Anu: How are you?

Vaish: I am good...

Anu: How is everyone?

Vaish: Anaya is fine too; she misses you and that she always will...
.
Vaish replied understanding what she meant to ask...
.
Anu: How is Avneet's condition?

Vaish: We don't know, she has pain and the doctor said that it is not a false alarm or something, she is going to deliver soon but the process hasn't started yet... Her body is not ready yet...

Anu: Oh, it is the most difficult time...

Vaish: It is... I can only imagine how much pain she will be in right now...

Aly: Did the doctor mention any complications?

Jai: What complications?

Aly: The condi-
.
But he saw Jai's confused expression... She didn't have the time to tell him... He was completely unaware... When Sid came from behind...
.
Sid: They have to look at it, they have no clue yet...

Aly: You know?

Jai: Wait, what is happening here? What complications? What do you guys know that I don't know?
