HIS STAMMERING PEACE | 18+

CHAPTER-47: a wish

VIKRAM POV

I was sitting at the swing that I've placed for my Rakaan and later I am sure that our little moon will be joining us in that swing.

Right now, I was waiting for Mahi to return back after checking on Avi as his parents are busy with one of their date nights. If I wouldn't have been married to Anika then I might've puked on Amogh's romantic nature.

That guy can leave Romeo in shame.....he is that lovesick

I don't mind him now. I can imagine roaming around while holding my wife's pallu.

What! I am concerned about her health and safety

" Ram, kaha khoye hue hai aap? Aapko pta hum jab bhi Avi ko dekhte hai toh hume lagta hai ki bacche kitni jaldi bade ho jate hai.........kuch din pehle Tak Avi apna sur tak nhi sambhal sakte the and now he is sitting on his own."
( Ram, where are you lost? You know whenever I look at Avi, I wonder how fast these small babies grow......few weeks ago Avi couldn't even hold his head and now he is sitting on his own)

Her face fell a little but even I couldn't shake the feeling of holding a new born yuvraj in my arms. He was so small and innocent at that time and let's not forget now he held my and Amogh's fingers in his both hands. I could feel a small smile appearing on my lips on that fond memory.

" Ram....."

" Haan jaan"

" Hum aapse ek sawal pooche?"
( Can I ask you a question?)

" Haan Mahi, poochiye kya sawal hai aapka? Aur aage se aapko hume kuch poochne se pehle humse permission lene ki zarurat nhi hai......samjhi aap"
( Yes Mahi, ask whatever you want to know? And from now on you don't have to take permission from me....do you understand)

" Haan....magar ye....ye humari aadat hai na"
( Haan....but...but this is my habit na)

I couldn't help but chuckle at my wife's antics. I gently pulled her in my embrace and she kept her head on my chest. She was playing with my black tshirt and I couldn't help running my fingers through her hair.

" Poochiye jaan, kya Janna hai aapko"
( Yes jaan, what do you want to know)

" Ram, aapko kya chahiye........beta ya be.... beti?"
( Ram, do you want a son or a daughter?)

I could feel her voice getting a little bit shaky and her form stiffened.  This wasn't coming from her but her ass*ole of a father. He has embedded so much trauma inside her and his thinking regarding the gender of the baby that she couldn't even wish according to heart's desire.

" Hmmmm.....ummm hume pehle ye sochna padega ki hume kitne bacche chahiye aapse" I said first to lighten her mood a little.
( Hmmmm....ummm first I have to think about the number of babies I want from you)

" Kitne matlab......aapko humse kitne baccho ki umeed hai, Ram" she said with shock written all over her face
(What do you mean?.....how many babies do you want from me, Ram)

" Atleast chaar toh dengi hi aap hu......" I couldn't even complete my sentence as she pushed me on the cushions and stood up ready to leave but I held her wrist on a firm grip.
( I know that we will have four babies, at least)

" Hahaha.....arey hum toh aapko cheed rahe the Mahi"
( Hahaha.....I was just messing with you Mahi)

I pulled her again towards me but this time she landed on my lap. She was trying to hide her crimson glow from me.
I held her hand in one hand and with the other I turned her face in my direction.

" Jaan, it's never been about me but you. I know people say that it takes two to make a baby but only a handful understand that it takes far more than that or a woman to bring that baby in this world. I know, I might sound selfish asking you to have my babies but I will never force you until and unless you are ready for that wholeheartedly.

If you want that we will only have this one baby then there will be one and if you wish for a bigger family then we will plan for more children. It's your body, my love.......we will go at your pace and with your time. "

By the time I completed my sentence, I saw her eyes were rimmed with the unshed tears.

God! Why is she so emotional these days

I've seen my wife being emotional so many times but this is the only time that I want to roll my eyes at her cute spills but I wouldn't dare.........She will kill me. She is my heart and my soul and I will never dare hurt her.

" Hey, my jaan.....why are you crying my love? Did I do something wrong baby? Are you hurt or is it paining? Do you want to lie down?" She placed a finger on my lips and shoke her head in denial.

" No Ram, I am not hurt and it isn't paining anywhere. You are making me feel so special and grateful at this moment that I just want to embrace you in a tight hug and spend my whole life in your warmth." She said and by the end her eyes were closed as drops of tears started rolling out of her eyes.

" Awww.....mera baccha" I couldn't hold on to the chuckle that passed out of my lips.
( Awww.....my baby)

We ended our day in eachothers arms, planning and dreaming about our upcoming future.

ANIKA POV

5 months later

I was sitting with maa sa and Aaru in living room. She was running behind our little packet of energy with his pants. This little boy enjoy's roaming around in his diaper ever since he has learnt to walk.

" Avi! Stop right there or....or....or will call your baba sa right now and tell him that you are troubling your maa sa and then he will not take you for horse riding" Aaru said with a proud smile as she placed both her hands on her waist.

But what made me crack was the shock appearing on Avi's face as the weight of his maa sa's words came into consideration. He quickly turned around and rushed in his maa sa's arms as she caught him to make him look presentable enought.

I could imagine myself running behind a mini version of my Ram. A little cute and adorable daughter......it isn't that I never wished for a son but I don't know why I've always imagined Ram carrying a little girl in his huge arms. I wish that it will be true as I've heard him sharing his desire of being a girl's father with jijo sa and bhaisa.

Soon, we all retrieve back to our rooms. I was waiting for Ram but I didn't realised when the sleep pulled into it's embrace but later that night I felt a palm caressing my full term belly and a smile adorned my lips when I felt him pulling me into his warmth while placing a small peck on my forehead.

" I love you jaana" I heard still half sleeping.........

I love you more Ram........I said in my dreams or maybe for real

So this marks th end of this book. I didn't wanted to prolong it by adding few more scenes as I thought that it will make the story run out of it's original track.
