Anaya's POV
"Waise when do you guys happen to plan another child?"
WHAT!?
I chocked on my ice cream and started coughing vigorously. Abhi rushed near me took the ice cream cup from my hand. I felt him rubbing my back, trying to help me get rid of my cough.
I so wished to have water at the moment but I knew better than to ask for it. These two will kill me if I ask for water over ice cream.
After a short while, I felt better and I was no longer coughing. Right after I composed myself, I realised that Aishu was staring at me and Abhi was staring at her.
Oohhhh yeahhh!!! Aishu asked about having a second child... OH SHIT!! WAIT!!
I snapped my head towards her and gave her a bewildered look. But she couldn't care less. This girl was busy in making an innocent face and finishing off her ice cream.
I glanced towards Abhi only to find him already looking at me. I continued to look at him as the memory of the promise floats in my mind.
Flashback
The First Night After Marriage
We cuddled together on the bed after a short debate on deciding which side of the bed would be taken by whom. Of course I got the one I wanted. Tsk tsk tsk, he can't win against me at all.
I cuddled closer to him, loving the warmth and he suddenly started to caress my hair. I smiled and put my head over his chest. I could hear his heartbeats. Too fast. I giggled and he chuckled knowing what for.
"Anu?" I heard him calling out for me and I hummed in response. "We have married but..." He hesitated. I sat up straight and he too followed the suit, knowing I want him to talk about it.
"What happened Abhi?" I inquired.
"Umm... Anu its simply that..." I cocked one of my eyebrows up. "That umm... W-Will we have another child since we already have Aishu?" He finally let it out.
Silence fell around as that was not what I expected at all. But this was a sensible question. I never really thought about it.
Abhi immediately interrupted the chain of my thoughts and said, "Anu I am not forcing you to think over it at all. But just make sure that whatever happens, it would be solely dependent on your decision. Anything you say, goes by."
A small smile automatically made its way on my lips. I shifted closer to him and held his hands in mine and caressed it with my thumb. "I need to know your opinion Abhi."
He sighed and dragged one of my hands to his face, making me cup his face with one hand, and he leaned towards it. I smiled a bit more and caressed his face.
