Soon she started gaining consciousness.
She found herself in the hospital room. Everyone were present except of the person which her heart was carving and eyes were pleading to see!
"Haseena.....hosh aa gaya meri bachi ko....jaan nikal di thi tune humari...." Ammi cried
Maa was standing and gazing at her silently.
"Maa...." She whispered.
Maa looked away hiding her tears.
"Pls pass ayiye maa " she said struggling ...she was trying to sit straight but was struggling to get up...maa went and held her securely...
She rested her head on Maas chest.
Maa to wrapped her in her arms letting her tears flow.
Maa kissed her forehead to calm her.
"Itne dino se taklif thi beta....Anubhav nai tha tho kya hum log itne paraye hogae..ki tu apni taklif nai bat sakti....aaj bhagwan na kare kuch ho jata tho?....kya jawab deti me Anu ko? ....kya hum itne kabil nai the...tere man ka bojh kam kar sake...tera dil k bate samjhe..." Maa said in tears.

Haseena held her ears
"Sorry Maa ammi....plss maaf kar do ..hume app ko batana chiye tha...ki hume kuch dino se problem thi..."she said sobbing.
Both maa and ammi hugged her tightly.
"Madam sir....humara chotu thik hai na....apko abhi bhi pain hora  hai kya .." Santu said keeping hand on her bump.
"Nai Santu ...abhi thik hai hum " she said crassing her cheek.
"Vaise tho thane mae app huamri senior hai...lekin yaha hum apki maa hai...humesha app hume sambalti hai...lekin aaj humara apka Kan kehne ka man hai" pushpa said pulling with tears in her eyes.
Haseena to laughed teary eyed.
"Karishma" haseena called her sweetly, but she looked away.
"Acha humari bat mat suniye, apne chotu se kaise narajgi, apka baby apko Miss Kara hai karishma" she said with pleading eyes.
Karishma was holding herself
But the baby kicked.
"Aaha..."

"Kya hua ...app thik hai na....apko phir dard hora hai kya" ks said worried.
"Nai ..hum thik hai...bas baby ne bahut jor se kick kia...bilkul apni bua par gaya hai " she laughed.
Ks melted...she just hugged Haseena tightly as she could....

Aur stress k vajah se apko false labour bhi hua...!..humari Jaan nikal gai thi ..." Ks said in raised voice almost I'm tears.
Haseena just turned silent...
"Sorry'...i am sorry...hume maf kar

Her baby's health!...her stress had caused the life of her baby!....
She held her belly ....
"I am sorry bache....apki ammi bahut buri hai...." She started sobbing.
Karishma held her tightly and hugged her...
"Nai bhabhi...app iss duniya ki sab se achi ammi banegi...abb se bas apna dyan rakiye... Jo hua usse bhul jayiye..." Karishmaa kissed her forehead and baby kicked.
"Dekha..baby bhi keh raha hai uski ammi sab se best hai "  ks laughed
Haseena finally smiled teary eyed.
"Abb tu aram kar...tuje aram ki bahut jarurat hi
..abb se tuje doc ne bed rest bola hai..." Haseenas face fell down.
"Hum sab chalte hai...tu aram kar "
"Anubhav ..kaha hai..." She fumbled.
"Voh Teri dawaiyan lene gaya hai beta
..ata hoga..." Maa smiled kissed her forehead and left.
She was anxiously waiting for anubhav to come.
Soon anubhav came to room.
He tried keeping his face pale without any expressions!
As soon as he entered
.
Haseena smiled joyously.
"Anubhav ......"she smiled teary eyed....
She wanted to hug him but he avoided her completely...
Her smiled turned off looking at her avoiding her..
"Anubhav...pls humare pass tho ayiye...itna naraj hai app ...." She said almost teary eyed.
He too wanted to and hug her tightly...kiss her numerously...hold her close anf not let her go anywhere...
But he was holding onto his emotions...
"Khana kha lijiye , phir dwai khani hai...." He said with cold expressions !
"Anubhav! Please...." She said pleading.
He took a bite and fed her instead of any further conversation.
All the while both were silent!
Haseena understood Anubhavs anger ! His cold behaviour was tearing her heart...but she couldn't help it....she knew this time Anubhav was seriously Angry!
After 2 days haseena was discharged from hospital!
All these 2 days Anubhav avoided any conversation with her.
Though haseena tried multiple times to initiate a conversation but failed.
"Khabardar jo iss bed se niche
Bhi utri hai tho abb" Ammi warned her.
"Han beta... delivery hone tak abb tuje pura aram karna hai....total bed rest samjhi" Maa said
"Maa ammi app chinta mat kijiye, hum smaabal lege...abhi fialal haseena ki dawaiyon ka samay hora hai...hum dawa khila kar unhe Sula dege" anubhav said.
Haseena looked at him with hopeful eyes...but he avoided her.
He fed her medicines, gave her water but didn't speak a single word.
"Anubhav pls humse bat kijiye na...app bat nai kar rahe tho Baby bhi hume kick nai karta.... please anubhav" she said pleading.
"Anubhav bache se kaise narajgi....kamse kam ....ek bar apne baby ko tho kiss kar dijiye...usse bate kijiye...pls..." She pleaded
"So jaiye haseena bahut rat ho gai hai" he said moving to his side of bed.
Haseena was just gazing at him blankly.
She rested her head on pillow , trying to sleep! But she was unable to sleep.
She was constantly feeling itchy feeling ! Due to her strech marks...
Anubhav noticed her restlessness,
He took her cream, went
Sat beside her.
He tucked her tshirt up! Applied the cream over her strech marks ! He slightly massaged her lower abdomen!
While massaging her tummy he felt the baby kick!
Haseena was hopeful that he will react ! He gently crassed her tummy and moved towards his side of Bed.
Haseena sighed and gulped.
He slept turing to opposite side!...
Haseena moved towards him and hugged him tightly from behind.
He could feel his tshirt was wet with her silent tears
His heart was breaking into million peices. But all he was doing was for her good. His tshirt was wet with her silent tears, and his pillow with his silent tears.
Next morning!
Anubhav woke up early.
He could feel  Haseenas hands warpped around him.
She had clutched his tshirt so tightly.
He carefully got out of the hold of her hands! He set pillows beside her for her comfort! Crassed her forehead.
"Hume maaf kar dijiye priye...apse jyada hum khud tadap rahe hai apko apne gale se lagane k lie....apne bache k pass ane k lie...kintu
Yeh duriyan jaruri hai.... iss bar bat apki aur humari shishu dono k jaan ki thi...apne vryath ki chinta kar k...apni tabiyat itni bigad di..ki apki dasha kya se kya ho gai...." He sighed.
And moved towards the washroom to freshen up!..
Soon Haseenas sleep broke.
She saw anubhav coming from washroom and getting ready for Headquarters.
"Anubhav"
He looked at her.
"Ji " he replied
" Hume bahut pain hai ....peeth me....agar apko der nai hori hai tho app pls hume gel laga dege" she said
He took the gel gently massaged her back....his fingures were giving him that needed warmth.....she wanted to feel him ....! But all these days Anubhav had become distant!...while Anubhav was massaging, he Pressed his fingers little harder on a spot in which she had little pain
"Ouchh...."
"App thik tho hai sona...jayda pain hai kya " he said worried holding her by her shoulder!
Haseena coundt resist herself...
She burried herself in his arms...
And started sobbing....
Anubhav to dint resist her this
Time...
"Han anubhav bahut dard hora hai.....yaha" she said pointing towards her heart ..
"Jab app humse naraj hai...app humse bat nai kar rahe...itne dino bad aye bhi tho hume apne gale se nai lagay...baby k pass bhi nai aye....na usse kiss kia...na hume kiss kia...na humse bat kar rahe hai....aisa lgra tha ki itne pass hokar bhi kitne dur hai hum.....kyu anubhav kyu....aisa tho hume tab bhi nai laga jab app mission pe ga ehue thae.....mission pe reh k bhi app hmare itne pass thae...aur yaha pass reh kar bhi itna dur" she said crying loudly.
Anubhav let her calm her down....he hugged her tightly....crassed her back....
"Shant hojayiye bache....shant ...shshhh " he said cupping her face.
"Humare pass ayiye"
Anubhav made her head rest on his chest.
She clutched his tshirt! Closing her eyes calming her self.
He securely warpped her in his arms and let her be for sometime!
Ones she was calmed down! Her heart beats got normal! He fed her water. And again rest in his arms."yahi bat hum apko samjhna chachte hai priye...!

Aur humare pass tho sab se badi vajah thi vapas ane ki...humari nanhi si jaan...humare pyar ki nishani" he said touching her tummy.
"Apko hum par yakeen hai " he said looking into her eyes.
"Khud se bhi jyada" she said.
"Phir bhi apne itni jyada tension li apka swasth itna jyada karab ho gaya ki huamre bache ki jaan

Anubhav kissed her were he felt the kick.

"Acha thik hai...aaj ka ek din...sirif humari priye aur shishu ka..." He

He was shocked for second! But participated equally.
Boths heart fluttered as they were kissing after 15 days!...feeling each other...
Felt like a new sensation...
But soon haseena stopped in between...
"Occouch"
"Kya hua sona...aise bech me kyu" he said irriated.
"Bahut jor se kick kia baby ne" she huffed cutely.
Anubhav laughed at her innocence.
He pecked her lips slightly.
"I love you "  he smiled.

"Han han we love you too" both said baby as they felt the baby kick😂!
