Meera's POV

Seven months into pregnancy, and I feel... nothing.

Absolutely nothing.

Just... back pain. Uff! These little troublemakers are heavier than Ruhaan was four years ago! My swollen feet—though, thankfully, that's not a problem because mera pyaara pati (my sweet husband) has that covered. Every night, no matter how exhausted he is, Adhyay sits beside me and massages my feet like it's his divine duty.

Honestly, mere Rana sa (my king) has been taking care of everything—whether it's my stiff neck, my unbearable headaches, my unpredictable mood swings, or my ajeeb cravings (weird food cravings). He handles everything with so much patience, and sometimes, I genuinely feel bad for him.

I know I've been troubling him a lot—whether it's waking him up early in the morning because of the babies' nonstop kick boxing, getting grumpy in the afternoon for no reason, demanding crazy food combinations in the evening, or ranting about life at night—sab kuch! (everything!)

And if I ever dare to apologize and tell him, "I'm sorry, I'm bothering you so much..."

He instantly shuts me up with—

"Yeh pregnant tum akele hui ho? Meri bhi contribution hai na?! Toh responsibility bhi dono ki hai! Ruhaan ke waqt maine kuch nahi kiya tha, ab mere bachon ke liye biwi ke liye main kuch nahi karu kya?"
(You're not the only one who got pregnant, right? I contributed too! So, the responsibility is ours, not just yours! I wasn't there much for Ruhaan's time, so now, for my babies, should I not do anything for their mother?)

And just like that, mera pagal pati (my crazy husband) silences all my guilt, absorbing my madness as if it's his life's mission—without a single complaint.

Adhyay is the best thing that ever happened to me... Then came Ruhaan... and now, I'm just happily waiting for our twins to complete our world.

Here I am, sitting with my family as they enthusiastically plan my Godh Bharai (baby shower), all because they didn't get the chance to do it during my first pregnancy...

Sometimes, guilt creeps in. I feel terrible for keeping Ruhaan's pregnancy a secret and being so far away from them back then.

But before I could dwell too deep in my thoughts, Kaki sa's voice snapped me back to reality.

"Theek hai na, Meeru?" (Are you okay, Meeru?) she asked gently.

"Huh?" I blinked at her, realizing I hadn't heard a word she said earlier.

From beside me, Adhyay immediately turned to look at me with concern.

"Kya hua, jaan?" (What happened, my love?) he asked, his fingers curling around mine protectively.

I shook my head with a small smile. No, I was not supposed to think about all that. Right now, all that mattered was my family—mera parivaar (my family).
