•There is mention of Mpreg, nothing detailed or graphic but if it makes you uncomfortable then you can skip this story :)
That's all. Enjoy the story.

"Kya hua?"
Shubman, who was staring at the ceiling while lying on the bed, turned his face towards the source of voice, the soothing voice of his husband. A smile automatically came on Shubman's face when he saw his husband's small but serene smile.
"Kuch nahi", Shubman replied with the same smile.
"Ab mujhe hi dekhte rahoge ya uthoge bhi. Time dekha hai? Ready nahi hona office ke liye?", his husband, Ishan, asked.
"Sach kahun... mann nahi hai jaane ka, bas tumhe dekhte hi rehna chahta hun", Shubman said cheekily.
"Dhatt! Utho aur ready ho Shubi."
"Jo aagya maharaj", Shubman saluted his husband and went inside the bathroom to get ready.

"Kya hua?"
Shubman turned towards his husband, who is sitting on the kitchen counter, when he asked him.
Ishan continued, "Kab se dekh raha hun, breakfast bana toh rahe ho par naa jaane kya soch kar khud hi smile kiye jaa rahe ho? Kya soch rahe ho?"
Shubman smiled and replied, "Kuch nahi... bas ye soch raha tha ki kitna acha lag raha hai na, mai yaha sabke liye breakfast bana raha hun aur tum waha araam se baithe ho."
"Haan toh tumne mujhe kabhi koi kaam karne diya hi nahi tha", Ishan said with a mock glare.
Shubman immediately replied, "Haan toh kyu karne deta, you are my king and-"
"Papa! Jaldi breakfast...warna late ho jayenge!!", he heard two voices from the dining room.
"Jaldi kariye bulawa aa gaya hai", Ishan said and giggled.
"Haan abhi laya", Shubman said and hurriedly finished making breakfast. When the breakfast was ready he called the two musketeers to help him setting up the table.
Shubman's and Ishan's two musketeers, their sons, Ishit and Shrithik, are 5 years old. While Ishit is shy and calm with a dimple like Shubman, Shrithik is total chaos and full of energy like Ishan.
They all settled down for breakfast. After having their breakfast, both the twins put their plates in the kitchen sink and went near the main door to wear their shoes, where the shoe rack was. Shubman also finished his breakfast and joined his sons. He will drop them at their school and then will go to his office.
"Bye Ishan."
"Bye baba." "Bye baba."

"Kya hua?"
Shubman looked up from computer screen towards the door where Ishan was standing. Shubman has some work due so he was in the home office. He don't know what time is it but it's been late, very late at night.
"Time dekha tumne Shubi? Itni raat ho chuki hai aur tum abhi bhi yaha baithe ho", Ishan asked, concern was evident on his face.
"Bas thodi der aur, ye kaam bas khatam hi hone wala hai", Shubman replied with a tired smile.
"Thodi der, thodi der bol ke raat ke 12 baj chuke hai. Aise tumhari tabiyat kharab ho jayegi. Chalo bahut ho gaya, ab sone jao", Ishan lightly scolded him. Exhaustion was clearly evident on Shubman's face.
"Nahi Ishu pakka bas thodi der. Ye bahut important hai. Kal boss ko ye file meeting me deni hai. Agar nahi de paunga toh phir bahut sunna padega", Shubman showed his puppy eyes.
Ishan just shook his head.

"Kya hua?"
Shubman turned towards the voice, the voice of his husband. Shubman was on bed. He was trying to sleep but couldn't.
"Kya baat hai Shubi? Neend nahi aa rahi? Kuch soch rahe ho kya?"
Shubman sighed, "Bas ye soch raha tha ki kash sab kuch thik hota. Kash ye sirf imaginations nahi sach hota. Kash Ish aur Shri tumse mil paate aur tum unhe maa ka pyaar de paate. Hum dono mil kar hamari family sambhalte. Kash tum sirf mere khayal nahi, yaha sach me saamne hote, physically", Shubman finished with teary eyes.
"Kisne kaha mai yaha nahi hun. Physically nahi hun toh kya hua, mai hamesha tumhare aur hamare bachhon ke saath hun. Toh kya hua agar physically mai unhe nahi paal paya, unhe nahi khela paaya, unhe maa ka pyaar nahi de paaya... par tumne toh kiya na. Shubi tumne unhe hum dono ka pyaar diya. Tumne aur hamare parents ne puri tarah se hamare bachhon ka khayal rakha. I'm so proud of you Shubi", Ishan said with a serene smile.
"Par phir bhi tumhari kami toh hamesha rahegi na. This was so cruel Ishu that you couldn't even hold them. Unhone apne baba ko bas hamari baaton se suna, ye kabhi nahi jaan paaye ki unke baba ke baare me jitna batao wo kam hai. Unke baba duniya ke best bete, best pati aur best baba hai." Shubman was crying hysterically.
"Nahi Shubi, please mat ro. Mai yahi hun. Dekho tum jab mujhe yaad karte ho mai aa jaata hun. Tum sab jab mujhe yaad karoge mai hamesha aaunga."
Shubman looked at his husband, his angel. He requested with trembling voice, "I want to hug you Ishu."
Ishan gave him a sad smile and slowly disappeared. Shubman again started crying while holding the pillow. He really wanted his husband now. He wanted to hide himself in Ishan's warm embrace.

"Kya hua papa?", Ishit asked his father. "Aap bahut der se baba ki photo dekh rahe ho?"
Shrithik asked, "Aapko baba ki yaad aa rahi hai?"
Shubman looked down at his sons and nodded. Both the boys hugged their father's waist tightly. Shubman crouched down and lifted them. The three then hugged each other and looked towards Ishan's photo frame.
Ishan's huge photo frame is on the living room wall. It's their daily routine to bid Ishan bye whenever they go out of the house. Shrithik and Ishit never met their baba but they know that he was the best person in this world. They also wish that their baba would have been with them but alas! that's life.
___________________________________________
Life is really cruel. When Ishan was pregnant, they were the happiest. Everything was going great and both Shubman and Ishan enjoyed the pregnancy phase. But destiny had something else planned. Some complications started when Ishan was in his third trimester. While giving birth the pain was so intense that Ishan was unable to bear it. The complications also intensified and the doctors couldn't save him. Shubman's world turned upside down that day. He welcomed his sons but lost his partner, his husband, his love. He still couldn't figure out what to do that day. Should he celebrate his sons' birthday or mourn for Ishan. But he knew that Ishan would want him to celebrate their sons' birthday. And obviously Ishan is still present in Shubman's heart, in his imagination. Ishan always guide him whenever he feels like everything is going down the hill. Yes, that void will always be there but Shubman and his sons are each other's backbone who are always gonna walk together. Our love ones leave us but we keep them alive in our heart forever.

Thank you for reading. I hope you liked it. Do tell me how was it? Sorry it was really short :((
And I tried writing dialogues in hindi. So, should I write dialogues in hindi or stick to english only? Do give your reviews. Positive criticisms are always welcome.
