Yeh Jadu Hai Jinn Ka - Redux

Firsts

2 more months passed by. Roshni was now 5 months pregnant. She was not allowed to do any work and she was worried about losing weight after delivery. Aman came home from work and saw her sitting alone. He went and sat beside her and asked her what was wrong. 'What's wrong? Everything's wrong Khanbaba. No one lets me do any work and I'm gaining weight. How will I lose all of this after the delivery?' Aman couldn't help but chuckle at what made his wife so worried. 'Roshni, it doesn't matter if you gain weight. Our baby will be exactly like you, never sitting down or staying still. He or she will run all over the place and you can run behind him or her and lose the weight. And anyway you are like a celebrity right now. A baby is going to come because of you so of course everyone are going to take very good care of you.' This was certainly true. Roshni was no less than a famous celebrity for the family right now. If she looked the slightest bit tired everyone would surround her with plates of different types of food. Aman had to admit that he felt a pang of jealousy when he saw the love and care she was getting. He even thought about getting pregnant himself until he remembered he was not a woman. 'Because of me? A baby is coming only because of me?' asked Roshni with a smirk. Aman blushed and replied 'ok, because of both of us.' She giggled and looked at him.
       Aman got lost in her eyes. 'I Love You' he said. Suddenly Roshni let out a gasp and held her baby bump which was quite small but still evident. 'Roshni, what happened? Kabir get the car keys we need to get to the hospital' he said going into a full on panic mode. He frantically called Kabir and everyone came from wherever they were. 'What happened? Why are you yelling like this?' asked Kabir who was struggling to hold his towel in place because he had just came out of the shower when he heard Aman's calls. 'Baby, baby kicked' Roshni finally said. Everyone looked at her. Aman ran back to where she was standing. She held his hand and put it on her bump. He couldn't feel anything and felt sad. 'Say I Love You again' she demanded. 'I Love You' he said meaning every word and he felt it. The most beautiful movement he had ever felt. His blood and flesh in her womb. His own heartbeat stopped for a moment as he felt his child' first kicks. 'Will you only feel or will you let us feel too?' said Aliya impatiently. Parveen came and literally pulled him away from Roshni before feeling the movements herself while Aman sulked at how everyone were giving all their attention to Roshni as if he was non existent. He went to Rehan and said 'Rehan, I'll give you a free advice. Think a thousand times before you do something like this or else you'll also be treated practically non-existent like me.' Rehan thought about it and nodded in agreement. Kabir joined them and agreed with Aman too. 'Kabir Bhai you should go change' said Shayari trying to control her laughter. Kabir looked down and remembered he was only wearing a towel. The three brothers walked away as all the ladies and Mr. Chotu continued being excited and feeling the baby's movements.
       That night Aman and Roshni were in their room. Aman was sleeping peacefully while Roshni was lying awake. "Khanbaba, Khanbaba' she called him waking him up. 'What's wrong Roshni?' he asked still half asleep. 'I want Golgappas' she said. 'What? Have you seen the time? I'll get you some in the morning now sleep like my good three year old kid.' 'Huuuhhhhhh. You called me a three year old kid? I'm literally pregnant with our baby' she exclaimed. Aman smiled and pulled her closer to him, 'you will always be my first baby no matter how many kids we have.' The intensity on his eyes made her blush and then she remembered she was craving for Golgappas. 'Either you get me Golgappas right now or go and sleep outside.' Aman looked at her trying to protest but one look at her told him it wasn't a good idea. He went to the kitchen wondering how to get Golgappas at this hour when realisation hit him. He was a Jinn. The King of Jinns to be exact. 'Kiya Mifa' he said and there, a bowl of Golgappas ready. 'I guess there are advantages of being a Jinn' he thought to himself. He brought the bowl to Roshni who immediately started eating them making faces after each one went inside her mouth. Aman noticed a drop of the water on her lips. He went close to her and licked it with his tongue. She stopped breathing for a moment. 'So sweet' he whispered going close to her earlobe. She blushed for the umpteenth time since she had met him.
       After she was done eating, he placed her head on his lap and massaged it. After a while she fell asleep in his lap. Aman saw his "heart" sleeping and closed his own eyes to sleep and dozed off. The next day was going to change their lives.
