All I Can Wish For

Ch-27 Letting Out

Anaya

"She is somewhat 2 weeks pregnant. Till now her health is good and so is the baby's. Make sure you maintain this good health." I heard the doctor speak after he congratulated us. I felt Abhi's hand squeezing mine under the table.

"I can continue to eat junk food, right?"

"What should be her diet?"

We spoke simultaneously and I ain't lying but we both glared at each other. Just a few seconds later we heard a chuckle which made us realise that we were in the doctor's cabin. We sat embarrassed as the doctor gave us the diet plan sheet.

"This is the diet chart. I advise you to strictly stick to it to avoid any sort of consequences. There are some meals after some intervals when she can eat anything safe she wishes to. It would be good if she eats healthy then as well but then again, pregnancy cravings cannot be completely neglected." He explained.

Honestly, the diet chart was boring. How will I survive like this? Itna boring khana kon khata hai?? Especially during pregnancy!

Abhi continuously nodded in agreement with whatever the doctor was saying. Does he seriously think I will have all that? Na. Nope.

I huffed as I slumped into the chair and waited for their conversation to end soon so we could go home, back to Aishu. We left her with our neighbours as leaving her alone at home didn't seem safe. Though she believes it is the other way round.

*****

I heard Abhi sigh as he- we moved around the kitchen.

"Aaah" I voiced out as I opened my mouth signalling him to give me the carrot he was chopping. He let out a small chuckle before stuffing a carrot piece in my mouth.

As I have been denied of doing certain stuff by Aishu and Abhi, which includes every other thing by the way, so I have decided to contribute in my way. Poking and annoying them!

However, Aishu went on the school trip she was pestering us to send her on since the previous year, when we promised to send her on the next one! So since she isn't here to accompany me, I am doing my duty very sincerely.

I have been following Abhi as I have bach hugged him as he is cooking, and been hogging on everything he is chopping, making, etc. This one thing has always been there. He always cooks whenever possible, so we take turns. Now, since I have been restricted from everything by them, the kitchen is all his.

As we sat down at the dining table to have our dinner, Aishu video called us and we chatted while eating. She elaborated all upon her day, how they explored this unique museum, how they walked for quite long to go to the lane from the rock garden they visited. And of course, they had ice-cream during this fluctuating weather.

Soon she was asked to sleep in order to wake up on time the other day so we bid good-byes. By the time we too were done with our dinner. As we stood by the basin to wash the utensils, Abhi decided to say the unexpected.

"Why were you weeping yesterday?" He asked.

"Ugh what do you mean?" I fumbled.

"Anu we have been married for so long. And we have known each other from even before. If even now you are not able to share everything with me... Do you still not feel comfortable enough with me?"

"No, that is not the case Abhi!" I tried to reassure him.

He sighed as he wiped his hands with the towel before holding mine and dragging me to our bedroom. He made me sit on one edge and he himself sat on his knees before me. He held my hands before speaking, "I know you were crying Anu. And I know it was not some silly thing. What was it about?"
