Reena woke up with a jerk as the beads of sweat poured from her forehead. It was just a dream, she repeated to herself as her breath steadied.
She had been getting these dreams for months. About her and Rocky. They somehow brought her sense of comfort and peace. All her thoughts would be occupied by Rocky, they wouldn't even leave her when she tried to sleep.
Just like that her thoughts went back to Rocky and the first time they met. How fierce he thought he was to approach her unfazed and proudly confess his love to her after only seeing her for 5 seconds. The audacity he had.
A smile crept onto Reena's face as she reminisced the sweet memories. All of a sudden she felt a kick in her stomach, followed by another. Every time she thought of Rocky, her baby would give her a kick as if they knew that she was thinking about him.
Reena went to freshen up and when she left the bathroom saw a white saree placed on her bed along with Fatimah maa waiting at the end of her bed.
"Enayitu maa"(what happened maa) asked Reena.
Fatimah maa pointed to the saree and said "tie this and come to the garden, we have a surprise for you", and with that she left.
Reena was confused yet she decided to tie the saree and headed towards the garden where everyone in Kgf was waiting for her.
her saree...
"What is going on" she asked as she observed the little stool and canopy in the centre of the garden. They all sat her down on the stool and began to cover her hands and cheek with turmeric.
"Did you forget. your 9 months pregnant, you have to have your baby shower" said khasim Chacha as he put the colourful bangles on her hands.
Reena was at a loss of words and the tears gathered in her eyes as she held her hands together to thank him. To thank everyone. One by one they put the bangles on Reena and adorned her face with turmeric. The ladies did a few dances and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves.
Everyone except Reena. Don't get her wrong, she was eternally thankful that they went out of their way to give her a baby shower.
But it just wasn't special without Rocky. She wanted him there, she was craving his touch, to feel his strong hands brush turmeric across her cheeks and decorated her hand with bangles.
As she was consumed by her thoughts, the sound of the music and laughter slowly died.
Silence.
She opened her eyes to see Rocky who was strolling towards her with his signature smirk on his face. Reena knew she was hallucinating but she didn't care.
She was greedy. Greedy to feel him, to hold him. He slowly cupped her face as his hands reached for the bowl of turmeric. He grabbed a handful of the paste and carefully applied it to her cheeks.
Reena closed her eyes, sensing his warm touch as tears cascaded down her cheeks. He took her forehead into a long kiss and grabbed her hand, putting on the last set of colourful bangles on her hand. She smiled staring into his deep brown orbs that stared right back at her with endless love and adoration.
Suddenly she felt her saree being pushed slightly exposing her baby bump. She looked at Rocky in shock as he applied some left over turmeric from his finger onto her baby bump. Reena stared at him as he knelt down and whispered towards her stomach
"Appa will be with you always. Don't trouble your Amma too much ok. Appa and Amma love you soo much. we cant wait to meet you soon". and he lightly pecked her stomach.
Reena felt her heart strings tug at his words. She knew they were true. Whether he was here to say them or not, she knew they were true.
She was broken from her trance by Khasim Chacha who gently tapped her shoulder. "Reena beti all okay" he asked. She slowly nodded and whispered to him that she was feeling quite tired and asked if she could be taken back to the mansion.
Khasim Chacha immediately arranged for a jeep to take Reena back as the people gathered in the hall where the lunch was being served.
The evening fast approached and she was sitting in her room reading a book. The words of Rocky were playing over and over again in her head.
"Appa will be with you always, we cant wait to meet you soon".
She felt reassurance that Rocky will always be watching over her and their baby, protecting them from this corrupted world.
Just as she was about to close her eyes she felt a sharp pain in her stomach.
