Yeh Jadu Hai Jinn Ka - Redux

Symbols of Love

The next day when Roshni awoke, she felt a pain in her abdomen but she didn't think much of it as she often had it from time to time since she had found out about her pregnancy. She went back to her room after freshening up to find Aman doing some work on his laptop. 'Khanbaba, when will we tell the family about the truth?' 'Soon Roshni. If we tell them it won't be a surprise anymore.' Roshni nodded. They had found out about something in one of the many checkups she'd had and kept it a secret for a while to surprise their family. Roshni nodded and went downstairs carefully, holding her 5 month baby bump.
After eating breakfast, she offered to do the washing up but was sent to rest by Aliya and Shayari who noticed that she was looking quite tired and weak. She sighed and went back to her room where Aman was still checking an important presentation Rehan had prepared. Roshni lied down on the bed and closed her eyes. She felt the intensity pain increasing every once in a while. Then after a point she couldn't take it anymore and screamed in pain. Aman looked up from his laptop and immediately ran to her when he realised what was happening. He realised she was going into labour and grabbed the hospital bag they had already prepared since Tabeezi had already told them she would go into early labour. He helped Roshni up and got her down the stairs carefully. Aliya and Shayari helped him get her inside the car. Parveen sat with her and they got to the hospital. They reached the hospital in 15 minutes and admitted Roshni. The rest of the family followed in an hour. Tabeezi and Farah also joined them as they got the news.
Roshni hadn't dilated enough so they had to wait before doing anything else. After she had dilated fully the process started. Although there was pain, she couldn't feel it much due to the fact that she was wearing the Sifriti Diamond ring and also the fact that Aman was with her, holding her hands and comforting her. He spoke words of encouragement throughout the whole time since the pain had started. She pushed with all her strength and a few minutes later they heard a cry. A minute later they heard another cry. It was the first time in their lives that they would ever be happy to hear their children cry. 'It's twin boys' the doctor announced. Aman and Roshni looked at each other and smiled. This was the secret they had been keeping from their family. They used to get two sets of everything for their children and hide one from everyone from the day they found out. After all the after birth procedures were done, Roshni and the babies were shifted to a room. Aman distracted the family so they won't see the twins until they go inside the room.
       When the family went inside the room, they were shocked. 'Aman whose baby is this?' asked Dadi confused. One of the babies started crying. Aman went near the cribs and rocked it gently. 'They're both our children Dadi. We had twins.' he said emotionally. He and Roshni were not able to control his happiness since their babies had been born. The feeling of becoming parents was overwhelming for both of them and they had both cried after holding their "lives" in their arms for the first time. It took a while for the family to comprehend what Aman said but when they did they were very happy and went to hug Aman and Roshni who was sitting on the bed. Parveen held Aman's ear and scolded him playfully for hiding such a big secret from them, but later hugged him. Everyone took turns holding the babies and found the, both very adorable. 'They're both so adorable, just like Bhabhi' said Saima who had arrived with Aftab. 'Only like her, what about me?' asked Aman. 'Bhai, Bhabhi is more adorable than you' replied Sara. Aman pouted unable to believe everyone was still pampering Roshni and roasting him. 'Awwwwwww' said Sara and Saima together while high-fiving. Aman burst out laughing.
       One baby started crying and his brother followed him. Everyone other Aman left the room so that Roshni could feed them. Aman held one twin and tried calming him down a bit while Roshni fed the other. After she had finished feeding both babies, they began to talk to each other. 'Thank you so much Roshni. In fact I can never thank you enough for giving me the best gifts in the entire universe.' 'Khanbaba, I feel so happy just by looking at their faces. Our babies have brought another kind of happiness and joy along with them.' 'After all whose kids are they?' asked Aman with a smirk soon to be wiped off his face. 'Mine' replied Roshni laughing while Aman sighed again. He would never be able to win anything related to talking with his wife. He smiled again watching her laugh, 'I can lose a million times to her if I can see this laugh' he thought to himself. Roshni yawned and he made her sleep. As she slept Aman stayed awake watching over her and their "symbols of love" promising himself to never let any harm come to the three souls he loved most.
