Anupama - Maan Love.

Maansi

My Goddess Saraswati... in his father's embrace, her cooing and giggling, taking his father by surprise.

"Anu she is laughing! You like that? Huh. You like it when daddy tickles you?".

He playfully tickles her whole fragile body.

"Hello baby girl. This is your father. Do you see me? Huh? Look at how pretty I made you look. Look at you!"

"Oh so you believe she does look like you?"

"Anu look at this resemblance". He shows his and baby Kapadia's face at me.

Thu thu thu!!!

"Yes she does look like her father."

"I think she needs to eat now, hold her Anu".

"Nahi".

"What?"

"I'm too weak. Please hold her some more". I pout and complain.

He sighs.

"Fine. Only because you are on that hospital bed. You're high on all these medications. Baby do we want to trouble her? No? So you are going to sleep on your father's arms for the next hour".

"You've got that much?"

"Yes. Visiting hours are ending in an hour".

I sulk and take a sneak photo. They look cute together. He mimics flying the baby to the air and cuddling on her body as if he doesn't want her away from him even for a second.

40 minutes end.

"Shh! Shh! Shh!"

"That's alright now Anuj. Let her rest."

"Yeah she's even closed her eyes. I'll leave her alone." He takes the blanket to cover her.

"That's it my girl. Sleep".

He looks back at me.

"We need to talk about something".

"Can it wait?".

"Unfortunately no. Anu we need to talk about this otherwise it can never be resolved".

"I guess".

"I have made her passport. Yours is waiting on you to finally be discharged. Your health cleared and I have already informed Malvika we are coming".

"I also have spoken to Samar, Toshu and Pakhi".

"How did they take it?"

I look at him. He sighs. It can never be easy to leave a child to tend to themselves. But they clearly understood. They support my decision and as hard as it is going to be. I am someone else's wife and mother. I'll never stop being theirs too but times have changed so has my world.

"I love you Anu". He holds my hand into his.

"I love you too Anuj".

"And I miss you. It's been wayyy too long".

"It's not like I was intentionally making you miss me. I also can't sleep without you besides me Anuj. Can you be my Salman khan just for today and sneak me out of this hospital. I just want to be with you".

"Salman Khan?" I wink at him.

"Why not?". I say.

"And then... what about our little Maansi here?". We both look at her. My baby!
