Life with You

Saiyaan 6

Sanvir came in the evening to meet and talk to Mayank. Half an hour later he came back in the living room with a shy Mayank where Nitish and Abhishek were sitting waiting for them.

'What happened?' Abhishek asked quickly. 'Is everything okay?'

'Nothing to worry about.' Sanvir said with a smile. 'Mayank would tell you. Let's go, Nitish!'

Abhishek looked at Nitish who shrugged, patted his back and left with his husband.

'What happened, darling?' Abhishek asked worriedly.

Latter didn't say anything, he just took his hand and placed it on his stomach.

'I.. I'm pregnant.' Mayank said shyly.

Abhi took few seconds to understand, then jumped in happiness.

'I'm going to be father! And you too!'
Mayank chuckled at him.

'Thank you for giving this happiness to us, Mayu!'

Their happiness didn't last long. Soon, they realized they have to face their families and over that they're not married yet.
When they called them, telling about their relationship and Mayank's pregnancy, they were so mad at them.

'Tune hume kahi ka nhi chhoda, Mayank beta! Ager thodi si bhi sharam baaki ho na beta toh vinti karte hain, wapas mat aana jab tak sarkar nhi kehte. Tab tak ke liye humare darwaaze tere liye band hain.' Mayank's father clearly stated and cut the telephone.

'Abhishek! Humne tumhe wahan karobar ke liye bheja tha aur tum wahan raatein rangeen kar rhe ho Mayank ke saath! Ab wapas aakr humari izzat mitti me mat milana samjhe!'

Their families disowned them for the sake of their own izzat in the society.

'Don't worry, Mayu!' Abhishek said hugging him. 'We will get through this together.'

'Why is this happening? Are we wrong, Abhi? Kya humara pyaar galat hai? Kya samaj me darza pyaar se bhi bada hota hai?' Mayank sobbed.

'Oh no, darling! They're taking us wrong. And about this society? I don't give a damn to it!..... Please Mayu don't cry. I can't see you like this. Also it's not good for the baby.'

Abhi wiped his tears comforting him.

'We will face it together!' Mayank said.

They weren't worried about financial support, they had worked hard and made a strong name in the local business. But what their actual worry was the baby. How are they going to raise him without any experience?

'We'll do it together. Let's give our baby a beautiful life!'

Abhishek took care of Mayank in ever way possible. He didn't let him do any work, be it household chores or business. He made sure he is always happy and healthy. Every afternoon they used to sit together, listening to soft music on radio. Abhishek loved to the baby and sometimes baby too, responded by kicking, making his parents smile. He used to kiss his baby bump several times in the day, which was his favorite thing to do.

During the 9 months period, several changes came in Mayank physically, which made him feel insecure about himself. He couldn't express this to Abhishek, so he thought of his friend next door, Sanvir.

'Don't worry, Mayank!' Sanvir said. 'It's totally normal during this period.'

'But what Abhi would be thinking seeing me like this, ugly.' Mayank worried.

'Ugly? I still find you cute and so does Abhishek. He would be loving you more like this - A bit chubby, squeezable. I'm sure he squeezes you a lot.'

'Sanvir! Jab tumhaare saath Nitish karega na, tab pta lagegi tumko.'
