Great, he's again late because of his most frustrating client and he was glad that he finally had the disclosure with him. He no longer has to deal with him.

" Are aagaye...aap" she said in her sleepy voice, yawning a little.

Anirudh was shocked to see her awake and waiting for him that too on this hour. He walked up to her, helped her in standing up as she was struggling to get up from the sofa.

" Tum soi kyun nahi ab tak ?"

" Kya soun..peeth , pair kamar sab dard kar rahe hain " she said in a complaining tone with a hint of exhaustion.

Anirudh felt a pang of guilt in his chest thinking how he could not take away the pain and discomfort she was experiencing in the pregnancy . people believe it's the most beautiful process in the world which is true but they seem to forget that a woman go through a lot of changes , a lot of pain to bring a soul to this human world . And maybe that's why a man could never be stronger as a woman . 

He picked up Bondita effortlessly in his arms . 

" kya ..k-kya kar rahein hai ? mana kiya tha na aapko . koi dekh lega neeche utaariye mujhe " She complained . 

" mere hote hue tumhe chalne dun ? aisa to kabhi nahi hoga aur itni raat ho chuki hai sab gadhe ghode bech ke so rahe hai koi nahi dekhega " he said adjusting her a little . " aur agar dekhega bhi to dekhne do . humara baccha aise hi aasmaan se nahi tapka hai " 

Bondita felt her face going red as she got the double meaning behind it . 

" sharam bachi hai ya aapne sab bech khayi , do do bacchon ke baap hai aap " 

Anirudh chuckled at her statement . " sharam karunga to do pe hi atak jaunga na ...abhi to mujhe puri football team banani hai , toh sharam 11we bacche ke baad thik hai " 

She shook her head deadpanned at his words . But secretly smiled .

 As Bondita's belly grew heavier, she found it difficult to walk around the house. Anirudh was always there, offering his arm for support or simply lifting her up in his arms, insisting she needed to rest. She would giggle at his overprotectiveness, but secretly, she loved the way he carried her as if she was the most precious thing in the world.

" kamre mein nahi dinning table tak leke chaliye " 

" par kyun ? Bondita tum waise hi so nahi paati , kabhi to araam karlo . main maalish kardunga fir sojana "  

When she struggled to sleep due to discomfort, Anirudh would wake up in the middle of the night without complaint, adjusting pillows around her, rubbing her back, or even reading to her softly until she drifted off again. He seemed to understand her needs even before she voiced them, always by her side, never letting her feel alone in the journey of their pregnancy.

Her heart melted at his care but pained seeing him not taking care of himself . 

" mere liye nahi aapke liye baat kar rahi hun , aapne toh khaana khaya hoga nahi aur main aapko bhuke pet sone dungi nahi . ab chaliye " 

And who was he to deny her command . 

It pained her that he was overworking himself . Even though he had left his most of the work but he busied himself with taking care of her . He was not leaving her even for a minute , following him like a shadow . He finished his most of the work in the home itself and goes to court when it is extremely necessary . She resumed her work till the 4th month of her pregnancy but then decided to take a leave . Even after taking the leave , she was working as a legal adviser from home for her first ever client . She won the case and his trust too .
