Their Encanto 2 (MaAn)

9. || el miedo ||

-congratulations mr. Kapadiya...ur wife is carrying ur child...u are going to be a father soon...

Anuj's eyes widened..

~~~~~~~~~~~~

They looked horrified...a few minutes elapsed..

The doctor went out and was informing Sujata abt the news

Here Anupama's breathe turned shallower...deep ...heavy...under the mask..her mind was so messed up...this unplanned pregnancy was a real shocker...her life will take a drastic turn...URRGGGHHH... it's soo... complicated

__________

-but she bled right..??? Oh my goddd...is the baby safe?? Is anupama safe doctor??
SUJATA ASKED

-well.. Mrs kapadiya..i cannot say that until a sonography is done...as of now since the reports are positive...the baby is Safe ..

-Thank god

Sujata sighed in relief

-but i cannot say the same abt anupamaa.. she's weak.. bleeding is definitely not a good sign,and now we cannot even prescribe strong medications..plz try to keep her as calm as possible.. injecting to calmness is not at all recommended..try to talk with her and sort out..I suggest not to leave her alone even for a moment.. she's vulnerable now..an elder should always be beside her and ...

-DOC .. DOCTORRRRR.... ANU... ANUPAMA...HER...HER BREATHE...
Anuj blabbered

Doctor rushed inside with Sujata

-anu...anu...beta shant hojao...Dekho..hum hai yha sab ..tum Aram se...anu..

-anupama ghabrao mat...jo bhi dar hai... kuch puchna hai...kuch batana hai..ya kuch ghabrahat hai to hume batao ... we'll sort it out na...

No response!

-anupama.. it's a warning..ur condition is already critical...
Doctor said

Still no response..

-anupama,u are already weak... stress will only hurt ur child..
Doctor warned again

Her panic breathes stopped...her fists on the bedsheet opened n her lips parted...she loosened herself and looked at sujata
Removing her mask,she let out her frail hand which sujata caught immediately and kissed it as tears flew down her eyes

-congratulations mera bacchaa!!! Kanhaji tum dono ki raksha karein

She placed her hand on her tummy

-I don't believe..!!..mere bittu ka ansh hai ye...his chotu version..
Dadi is eager to meet u bacchaa!! Mujhe na Anuj ka bachpan miss karne ka bht afsos tha..par no more now..!!

She cried and laughed simultaneously.. that emotion was so strong

-maa..mu .mujhe bahut Darr lag rha hai..me ...me kaise sambhalungi ise maa...mujhe khud aapki zaroorat padti hai abhi bhi..me ek nayi zindagi kaise sambhalungi..me acchi maa nhi ban paayi to???...me aapke jaise nhi ban paayi to??!.

-shhhh!!! Shant beta ..perfect maa ya acchi maa ki koi definition thodei hoti hai ..saari maa apne bachhon se bht zyada pyaar karti hai aur apne hisaaab se Jo sahi lagta hai karti hai...kisi maa ka pyaar Kam aanka nhi Jaa sakta hai na??!! To ye acchi ya buri maa jaisi koi cheez nhi hoti..iam sure meri anu mujhse bht zyada better mummy banegi...i can bet on that!!bas apne bacche ko samjhnaa...pyaar to tum use without any doubt apni Jaan se zyada karogi

Anuj standing in the corner with the "mere se bhi zyada? " Face

-par maa humara career settle nhi hua hai...finances set nhi hai ....hum itni badi zimmedari kaise uthayenge..me jaanti hu acchese ki parents
Ka unsettled career bacche ki poori life barbaad kar deta hai ..mere baba ne masters Kiya tha par complete hone se pehle hi me hogyi to unhone jald baazi me koi bhi naukari le li paison k liye ..par agar vo aage padhte ya intezaar karte to humara astitwa kuch aur hota...me baba ko bura nhi keh rhi par har cheez samay par honi chahiye na maa...hum abhi kese ...

-beta humara family business hai...humare baad to tum teeno ko hi sambhalna hai na..aur padhai wagera to poori ho hi gyi hai tumlogo ki..tum galat nhi keh rhi anu..aise me pregnancy avoid karna sahi decision tha...

-hn...hn maa..humne poora dhyaan rakha tha...pata ni kaise..

-Anu abhi bhi time hai ..tum dono ko decide karoge vohi hoga..hum jitna bhi dilasa de anu....tumpe pressure aayega hi.. isiliye choice is solely yours ..u can terminate if y...

-no no...never maa...bilkul bhi nhi...plan nhi kiya doesn't mean I'll kill my own child.

-Choice is URS anu..think rationally n decide..baadme regret na ho..

-nhi maa...kanhaji ne ye taufa Diya hai Bina maange...me isse.....nhi kabhi nhi...

A lone tear escaped Sujatas eyes..

Hmm..kismat walon ko milta hai beta..jinke naseeb ne nhi hota unse pucho ..

-Maa..??

Hmm.. tumhari maa bhi thi unme se ek..mujhe bacche bht pasand the anu..bhaiya k bacchon k peeche bhaagti rehti thi me pure din....shaadi k baad kayi saalon tak meri god suni rhi.. mujhe bht dukh huya anu...upar se logon k taane...me bht toot gyi thi ..phir Anuj ko adopt Kiya humne to jaise jaadoo hua...phir kuch saal baad mukku ki khabar sunke to me to ro padi...u can't imagine that..

Anupama wiped her tears..

-i love u maa ..
-love u too beta...chal ab aaram kar...me chalti hu...

-Kya hua hai Anuj aapko kuch to boliye..

She took his hand n enveloped it between hers over her tummy

-aap khush nhi hai ???

He immediately withdrew his hand ...

She held his hands n kissed them..

-boliye ne..

-mu..mujhe ghabrahat hori hai...me kaise sambhalpaunga ise..tum hi kehti ho na me khud bacchon wali harkatein karta hu...kaisa papaa banunga me..?? Me tumhare pet par haath rakhunga to ise lag gyi to?

-kuch nhi hoga Anuj...aap sabse besht pita banenge ekdum papa ki tarah...me jaanti hu...aur ise aap kabhi hurt nhi kar sakte

She placed his hands lightly on her tummy

Aur sabka first time hi hota hai na.. koi training leke thodei ate hai...hum bhi seekh jaayenge dheere dheere..hai naa???

-hmmm!!

-ab laaiye mujhe apni godi dikhaiye ...me thak gyi hu...Sona hai mujhe..

-ji zaroorrr...

He sat on her bed n she slept on his lap as he gently caressed her head ..

Both were trying to digest this huge news...there was an explosion of feelings.. happy, shocked,scared..many more ..for now the negative thoughts dominated ..they had thought so much abt this moment but it came n how ...but soon this phase will pass..n the only emotion left for them will be happiness.
