Its night everyone is busy to get ready to leave the venue,sara came from her room"Abhimanu will drop me , please pick me up from the beauty parlor, I will call you"sara said to me while she was leaving with her brother and her dress in bag.

"okay i'll be there,send Me the location"i said to her,its night from the venue ,I came to pick her up,I called her"i m here come outside ,her phone on her ear she came outside,she is looking so beautiful adjourned in traditional clothes ethnic.

I gazed at her,as she adjusted her jewelry and dress,I take bags from her and put them on backseat,more I look at her more I feel resolve crumbling, I couldn't help,"you're all dolled up today,thank god you have filled your hair partition or you will get lots of attention from others" I said to her"why married woman can't get attention " she said turning to me

"Not in a wrong way,man will know you are taken"i said to her she smile,she is making me feel like teenager who is with his crush alone,I pulled over to a quite spot,the city light twinkling less,dim dark corner of road,"what happened,engine break fown,petrol?" she said

I move turn to her,with a gentle touch I brushed a strand of her hair behind her ear,my fingers gazing her skin,she close her eyes,aw her breath caught in her throat,my heart raced as I leaned in,my lips brushing against hers in a soft tender kiss,she taste like peppermint, oh her lipstick,I pull back,she turn to mirror,correcting her lipstick, "let's go we'll be late" she said and we drove away,reach to venue.

Sara laughed, enjoy spin around ,her eyes sparkling with joy,she is dancing in baraat on song *pyaara bhaiya mera dhula raja banke aagya *as she swilrs and moves to the music she looks pretty,I take out the cash I carry in my wallet,waive the bundle of hundreds of thousand over her head ,my dadi said it symbolically remove negatives from the life and then a man come I give that money to him

Sara's mom smile,Sara whisper in my ear"oh I got a fan,everyone is looking how you are a doting husband " she whispered and hold my hands force me to dance and I m not into dancing my second brother in law Abhimanu help her*Joru ka Gulam* the song they have to plays it and after a while seeing sara shy and smiling and look to me and to others she keep too gesture me dance ,her brother hootings, my mom teased, her brother trying,and i choose to make her feel special yes I end up dancing a little move and smile came to my lips when she trying to shy over it dancing blushing glowing more.

My dad waive money on both of us ,my mom keep taking our videos, Sara said to her"Mom send the video to me later",after the little dance i stand aside they keep dancing after a while Sara come standing next to me.

"I got badly shoe-bite,my heels killing me" she said ,she remove them,she was holding them in hands,after some time giving them to her mom and she went dancing again"give it to me I can hold them,you might be busy" I said to her mom and she smile nodding and handover Sara's heels to me.her mom went to do something inside the resort.

"Aman it must be hard when you are tied to Sara who make lots of mistakes,Nandni was perfect, she wasn't in in her right mind that..." her Aunty Nisha said ,she is standing besides me deliberately sabotaging."excuse me, Sara is my wife,thanks to Nandni i get more than i needed" I firmly suspend her and move to somewhere else.

later throughout the night Sara keep complaining her feet swelling "it's maybe from too much dancing ". "Sara i think its something else"i said ,she didn't get me but I don't know why I m getting this feeling she keep eating sour food .I went back home from the venue itself,but went to pickup Sara after 3 days.

We are sitting in the living room, she is taking support on me watching tv,and turn looking into Sara," I have a feeling that something is different about you. You've been glowing lately, and i can sense it there is subtle change in your body Sara,do you think maybe ...you could be pregnant.." I said to her.

Sara sighed, setting "no way I mean it can't happen I have been careful I was on pills, I track my cycle, i m pretty sure i m not in my fertile window"she said shooking her head her voice laced."it's not a guarantee ,it's unlikely but not impossible " she said adding

"Even it's unlikely to happen,just to put our mind to ease,let's get a test just to be sure." I said.

Next day while coming from work we take a detour to pharmacy, we take pregnancy test kit.i don't know why but I want a family where Sara and me we both grow looking after the little version of us,and I wish to have a daughter as cute as her mother,with lots of emotions and anticipation I m waiting outside Sara is inside bathroom i knocked "Sara, " I said "coming " she said.

~~Sara Pov ~~

I m sitting in bathroom, staring at a pregnancy test in disbelief ,no way this can't be happening, I look at test again,my eyes widen in shock,this is unexpected, I mean I lost a track on my cycle I thought it was pill side-effect ,as I was processing.

Aman knocked,"Coming " ,I went out,he take test from my hand,his expressions changes form concern to shock to pure joy"we're going to be parents " he hold me in hug and give a peck at my forehead,I m still processing this life changing news"what happened " he asked "It's totally unexpected " I said to him while taking seat on the couch.

"I think best thing in my life always came unexpected " he said. "I m happy too" i said though I have this unsolved anxiety going on in my mind.he is happy ,we went to bed,I m having this feeling how will I manage,I didn't sleep well,I went to living room.

He is so much overjoyed about the news of baby,he will love the child,what about me, nobody cares about me,I went to living room,I sit there, I feel my heart getting heavy , tears rolled down,it's past 12 in the night,"you're here,why are you not sleeping " Aman voice came I swip my tears away"did I wake you up" I said looking at him"did you cry?"he asked as he came sit next to me.

"No,I didn't " I said ,he take me in his embrace "tell me,please" he whispered "I think i m afraid" I tell with cracking voice.he sit straight, "you are having mood swings, and don't be afraid you have to be happy and comfortable throughout this journey " he said and I turn my face from his side i sit turning "Sara,don't be afraid you're young and your body is still flexible, you'll regain your figure in no time,you'll be back to your beautiful self, and I'll be here to support you every step of the way."
I cry even more and i choked out a sob"That's not it, Aman... I'm afraid... I'm afraid that you'll love the baby more than me... that you'll forget about me and only care about child..."

His expression turned tender, and he pulled me into a warm embrace, holding me close and he whispered, "Sara, my heart is big enough to love both of you equally, but differently,my love for you is unconditional, and it will never change,you're my partner, my best friend, my everything,and our child will be a new addition to our family, not a replacement for you."he pulled back and looked into my eyes.

His gaze filled with sincerity, "I promise you, Sara, my love for you will never fade,Our child will bring us even more joy and happiness" he said "i don't know how will I manage " I said "I'll be right here besides you, supporting you, helping you in every way " he Said,he continued "you're my first baby ofcoure I will look after you, we're having our second baby now,I promise you you'll always be my priority " he said,I feel a sense of security, i feel i can face whatever come next my head on his thighs, I fall asleep on couch, and next morning I wake up in bed.
