Today is Kavya's godbharaii (baby shower)
Kavya was now over 7 months pregnant.Many guests came at the haveli. Males were out in the yard while all the females were present inside. Some were singing happy song, while few women were with kavya to get her ready.
Jaya looked at kavya who was glowing.
"Kitni Sundar lag rahi ho"
She blessed her. Kavya smiled at her.She was very happy but scared as the birth time was coming close.
They cover Kavya's face with veil and took her downstairs.Jaya made kavya sit on the couch and than godbharaii rasam started.
Everyone gifted her things and blessed her to get healthy child. Most of them blessed her to have baby boy which made kavya more nervous.
Soon manvik was called and kavya's devar as well.
Kavya and her devar had to perform a ritual to slap eachother lightly with hands soaked with kumkum...
(This ritual is done by devar bhabhi so that devar can remind his bhabhi to not forget about him after having baby)Even if kavya and her devar didn't had that type of relationship but still they had to perform it as it was ritual.
Manvik was looking at both of them with smile as kavya chuckled with her devar while performing the ritual.
She looked at manvik who was smiling at her. She gave him a smile.
Her cheeks were red due to kumkum.Than manvik was told to sit beside kavya.
They did few more rituals and soon everyone went home .At night
Kavya was looking at her hands which were still stained a bit red due to kumkum. It reminded her again and again that she is really close to have baby in her hands.
Manvik entered the room and looked at kavya staring at her red hands with smile.
He came near her and gave her kiss on her stained cheeks before sitting beside her."Kyu hass rahi ho?"
Manvik said.
"Why are you smiling?"Kavya shook her head with teary eyes
"Kuch nahi bas vishwas nahi ho raha ki ab kuch samay me hamara apna bachha hamare paas hoga""Nothing just I am not able to believe that we will have our kid in our arms soon"
Manvik smiled.
"Haa , hamara bachha . Me to sochta hu kitna pyaara hoga agar uski maa hi itni pyaari hai.""Yes , our kid. Sometimes I think how cute our child would be if it's mother is so cute"
Kavya chuckled
Manvik cupped her cheeks with his hands and said
"Muje pata hai ki tuje dar lag raha hai. Aur yeh koi ajeeb baat bhi nahi hai. Par tu zyada mat dar. Me har kadam pe tere saath hi hu. Apne aap ko akele mat samajna."
"I know that u are scared. And it's nothing weird. But don't be much afraid. I am here with u on every step. Don't think u are alone. I am here"
Kavya nodded and hugged him. She was overwhelmed with emotions and that leaked out of her eyes. She was thankful to have such husband who never fails to comfort her when she feels uneasy.
They both layed down and talked about things till kavya fell asleep. It has become a habit of manvik to sleep after making kavya sleep.
It was because in Kavya's early pregnancy period, he was woken up by her stirring cause she couldn't sleep. So he decided to talk to her till she sleeps and than only he sleeps.

Next day
It was evening , kavya and lataa were talking about things that kavya should take care of in this period.
They were soon disturbed by manvik entering with his brother. They had a bags in there hand.
Manvik sat beside kavya and his brother also took a seat on the couch.
"Kaha gaye thhe? Itna saara saamaan? Kya leke aaye ? "
Lataa said looking at the bags in her son's hand."Where did went? All this things? What did you bought?"
"Woh maa, ab kya pata kab hamara bachha duniya me aaye. Hamne socha Aaj hi uske liye kapde vagera le lete hai. Kavya is halat me jaa nahi sakti aur bachha aa jayega to kya pehnayenge ?"
Manvik said chuckling."Maa , now we don't know when our child will enter the world. We thought we should buy clothes and other things today itself. Kavya can't go in this situation and if the child takes birth than what will we make it wear?
"Haa acha kiya le aaye. Par agar nahi hote tobhi koi badi baat nahi thhi , tere aur tere Bhai dono ke chhote chhote kapde mene sambhal kar rakhe hai abhi tak. Woh pehna dete."
Lataa said laughing."Yes, u did great, but even if we didn't had clothes for the child , I have kept safe urs and ur brother's small clothes till now. We would have made the child wear those"
All of them laughed.
Manvik showed the cute small clothes for newborn babies. They were super cute and kavya was really happy. He even bought another small essentials that there child would need.
It was night, after having dinner kavya came upstairs to her room. She was folding the new clothes for baby while smiling.
She felt a painful kick in her stomach. It has become routine of this naughty baby to kick her painfully once in a while. She could even see the small legs of her baby on her stomach.
She feels pain but seeing those little feets of her own baby make her smile through pain.
She got up to put the clothes in her cupboard but wince as she felt another kick.
"Kya hua? Kuch ho raha hai?"
Manvik said coming close to her."What happened? Is something wrong?"
Kavya chuckled and shook her head.
"Kuch nahi , aapka bachha muje zor zor se laate maar raha hai""Nothing much, just ur baby kicking me"
Manvik pushed kavya softly on the bed forcing her to sit and took clothes from her and placed them in cupboard.
"Bahar aane de us shararti ko. Daat lagaunga usse. Meri biwi ko kese maar raha hai?"
Manvik said jokingly."Let the naughty kid come out. I will scold it. How can it kick my wife?"
"Muje nahi lagta aap hamare bete ya beti ko daatenge..."
Kavya said."I don't think that u will scold our child..."
Manvik got caught and grinned at her.
"Tuje pareshan kare to daatunga , kyu nahi daatunga?""If it harrases u than i will scold him definitely....why won't I?"
"Ha ha kyu nahi"
Kavya said laying down on the bed."Yea yea , why not"
Manvik turned off the light sources and lay down beside her, and slept keeping her close.
