After 1 month

As the days went by, Anushka's pregnancy began to settle in, and with it came the inevitable rollercoaster of emotions and cravings, something Virat had been eagerly awaiting.

He had always imagined it would be fun, maybe even a little dramatic. However, reality was proving to be something entirely different. Now, as Anushka's moods swung wildly, Virat found himself in completely uncharted territory.

It was late one evening, and Virat had just come back from a light gym session. He entered their cozy living room, only to find Anushka sitting on the couch, wrapped in a blanket and scrolling through her phone with a frown on her face.

"Hey, What’s up?" he asked cautiously, throwing his gym bag aside. The mood in the room felt heavy, and Virat immediately sensed that something was off.

Anushka didn’t respond right away. She kept staring at her phone for a moment before letting out a frustrated sigh.

"Why don’t we have any chocolate in this house?" she asked, still not looking up.

"Chocolate? But we just got a whole bunch last week. Didn’t you say you were cutting back on sugar for a while?" Virat blinked, taken aback. Anushka finally looked up, her eyes narrowing.

"Well, that was last week. Now, I need chocolate. Why would you even mention the sugar thing? Are you saying I shouldn’t have it? Do you think I’m gaining too much weight already?" Her voice rose slightly as her frustration became more palpable. Virat's eyes widened in panic.

"No, no, no! That's not what I meant baba, You can have all the chocolate you want! I'll go get some right now." he said quickly, raising his hands in defense.

But before he could make a move, Anushka’s expression softened, and she suddenly seemed on the verge of tears.

"You don’t have to go now, It’s dark outside. I don’t want you to go out just for me  " she said, her voice quivering.

Virat froze, utterly confused. Wasn't this the same person who, just seconds ago, had been demanding chocolate like it was oxygen?

"Huh, You sure?" he asked, trying to gauge her mood. She nodded, sniffling.

"Yeah, it’s okay. I guess I don’t really need it. I just... I don’t know. I feel so... emotional." She buried her face in her hands, and Virat could hear a tiny sob escape her. Awkwardly, he shuffled closer and sat down beside her.

"It’s alright, bub, You're going through a lot, and it's totally fine. I’m here for you." he said, placing a hand on her shoulder, unsure if that was the right move.

But as soon as he touched her, Anushka suddenly stiffened and looked up sharply.

"Actually, can you not touch me right now?" she said, pulling away and giving him a look that suggested he had just made the worst possible move. Virat was left speechless for a moment, his hand hanging awkwardly in the air.

"Oh, right. No touching. Got it." He quickly retracted it and shifted a few inches away from her.

They sat in silence for a few seconds, Virat nervously watching Anushka, unsure what to expect next. He had heard about pregnancy mood swings, but this felt like he was in the middle of a storm with no map or compass.
