Abhijeet, noticing Nakul's suffering, stayed close by, offering silent support. He never pushed Nakul, but he remained patient, knowing Nakul needed to face his fears on his own terms. One evening, after seeing Nakul wince in pain again, Abhijeet decided to confront him gently.
"You can't keep doing this to yourself," Abhijeet said softly, sitting beside Nakul in the quiet of his room. "Your body is reacting because the baby needs you. You can't deny it anymore."
Nakul looked at Abhijeet, tears welling in his eyes. "I don't know how to do this, Abhijeet. I'm scared. I don't want to hurt the baby, but... I don't want to make things worse either."
Abhijeet placed a reassuring hand on Nakul's shoulder. "You're not going to hurt them. Feeding them is a natural part of being a parent. The love you have for this child is stronger than any curse, Nakul."
Nakul's eyes filled with doubt, but there was also a glimmer of hope. He wanted to believe Abhijeet, but the fear still gripped his heart tightly.
"You're not alone in this," Abhijeet continued. "We're all here for you. But you need to trust yourself, Nakul. You're stronger than you think."
