After a week.

It was morning time. Vaishnavi woke up rubbing her eyes. She saw Abhishek and Reem sleeping peacefully. Reem was cuddling to her and Reem's leg was on Abhishek's stomach. Vaishnavi pecked Reem's head and went to get ready.

Since Vaishnavi's surgery, they are sharing Abhishek's room. They are comfortable with each other. So, no one questioned why in one room.

After getting ready. Vaishnavi went and started preparing breakfast.

After a few minutes. Abhishek came there.

Abhishek: Good morning.

Vaishnavi: Morning.

Abhishek: Breakfast me kya ban raha hai? Itni achi smell.

Vaishnavi: Smoothie and Muffins for us. Reemi ke liye cereals.

Abhishek: Hmm... Let me help you.

Vaishnavi: Arey! Nahi-

Abhishek (cuts her): Shhh!!!

He started helping her. Both started preparing breakfast.

Abhishek: Vaish?

He first time called with a nickname. This nickname was given by Avneet. As Siddharth and Vaishnavi got close. He too started calling her by her nickname.

For the first time. Abhishek called her by her nickname. She smiled with a tint of blush but Abhishek was busy at work to notice.

Vaishnavi: Haan?

She said controlling her smile.

Abhishek: Tumhari Arts classes ke liye maine institution me baat ki. You can learn about your passion.

Vaishnavi who was chopping vegetables. Her hands stopped working in mid.

Vaishnavi: Haan? Umm... Aese kyun? I mean aese kuch need nahi thi. Or ye class and all. Nahi Abhishek.

Abhishek: Kyun need nahi? Don't you want to explore? Arts class hai to painting ya sketch design. Isme to bahut option hai like portrait, clothes, jewellery, ya interior designing. As you mentioned this was your passion when you were young. Recently, tumne work kiya nahi hai to they will guide you with your skills.

Vaishnavi: Par in sab ki need nahi hai. Or main in sab me busy hui to Reemi?

Abhishek sighed.

Abhishek: Okay... This is the reason. The class will be online. Tum afternoon ki shift le sakti ho? Tab reemi so jati hai. Tum apni class attend karna or offline class for the test will be on Sunday. Sunday ko to hum sab ghar hote hai. Can't we take care of Reem?

Vaishnavi looked down. Abhishek walked towards her. He held her hands.

Abhishek: Pata hai Reem (his wife) ko model banna tha. Parents ki support nahi thi. Siddharth try karta tha but auditions me select nahi hui thi 2 baar and then shaadi ki baat aa gayi. She left her dream. Maine Siddharth ko promise kiya tha maine complete karauga uski sister ka dream. But Reem was pregnant jab uska audition finally clear hua tha. Pregnancy was unplanned but she was not ready for an abortion. Umm... Will you help me complete my promise? Maine Siddharth ko jo promise kiya tha uski sister ka dream complete karuga. Will you?

Everything she was listening silently. She felt bad for Reem.

Vaishnavi: Reem ka to dream tha but mera aesa kuch nahi hai.

Abhishek: Sapna dekha nahi hai but dekh to sakti ho na. Abhi bhi time hai na dekhne ka? If not this then jo tumhara dil kare. I will be more than happy tum khud apni wish batao to. We will work on it.

Abhishek's POV: Us din they way your eyes were glimmering I know you too wish to be independent but ye direct bol nahi paa raha main. Promise is another thing but my main target is to make you independent. To make you feel you are worthy of everything. You already lost your whole childhood. Now, I won't let you lose anything. I will be by your side no matter what.

Vaishnavi: Umm... Sketching? Like first I can start with it. Later on, they will guide me as per my skills, right? So, how about sketching? As I will more options.

Abhishek: Sketching it is. Tomorrow morning we have to go for admissions. They said the new batch will start in a week or so.

Just then they heard Reem's voice.

Abhishek: I will see her.

Abhishek left from there. Vaishnavi smiled widely thinking about the upcoming phase of her life.

Soon, they had breakfast and Abhishek is ready to go to the office. Reem and Vaishnavi stood at the door to bid him bye.

Abhishek: Chalo bye girls.

Reem: Byeee...

Abhishek came towards them and pecked their foreheads.

Abhishek: Reemi maa ko tang nahi karna.

Reem (nodding): Maa bolo.

Abhishek: Okay okay... Vaish meri reemi ko tang nahi karna.

Reem giggle. She pecked his cheek.

Vaishnavi: Haan take care.

Abhishek: You too.

He left for office. Vaishnavi and Reem spent the day like usual.
