The whole house was decorated with lights and flowers.Vikram and Shivani were busy from morning seeing arrangements.It was very special ocassion for them.The naming ceremony of new baby girl of house was taking place today.Very few guests were invited only close ones.Prakash and Karuna were waiting for this event after which they will be leaving for Chennai.
Varna was almost done making her little baby wear cute pink floral frock.Along with it matching socks and hairband.Karuna came to her room and adored the sight.
K-"Varna you are not ready yet.Give her to me."
Karuna took baby carefully who settled calmly in her arms.She caressed her back and Varna took picture of them.
K-"Your daughter is very calm today.Surely has gone after you."
The baby cooed as if understood everything making both of them smile.The function was to take place in evening.
K-"Varna do you need help getting ready."
Var-"No Aththai.I can manage.You take her downstairs all were asking about her.I have fed her just now.Hope she wont cry at least for some time."
Karuna kissed Varna on her forehead and left with baby.Varna took deep breathe and looked at mess on bed.Dresses of baby and other things were scattered on bed.On other side she found her saree and jewelry.She thought to take shower first then quickly get ready as it was already passed afternoon.The guests started arriving.
Varna couldnt remember when she took relaxing bath like this after she give birth to baby.Waking up frequently at nights and hardy taking naps on day.Her whole time was occupied with baby.She couldnt take care of her ownself.She looked at her hair becoming dry.She did shampoo and took bath with hot water feeling her muscles relaxing.
After a quick relaxing shower she came out in bathrobe wiping her hair with towel.She was shocked to see bed clean.Only her saree and jewelry were there neatly placed.She dropped towel on bed and thought who cleaned it.She has locked door too.
She felt pair of arms sneaking behind her back and almost shouted.Vivaan covered her mouth with his palms.
V-"Are you mad.You will bring whole house here.What will they think of me."
She moved his hands and glared at him.He was still roaming around in his joggers and vest.
Var-"Vivaan you scared me.How would I know you will enter room like this.I have locked it."
V-"My smart wifey.Its my room too I have keys.Besides Aththai told me to look after you.I came to help you."
Var-"yeah to increase my work."
He made face then taking towel he started drying her hair.She smiled enjoying the care by her husband.He made her sit on bed and dried her hair properly admiring her long traces.
Var-"Vivaan.Is she alright.Shes not crying right?"
V-"Varna.Its been while only shes not with you.Shes fine.With Mom and others.All are saying our baby is so calm.Unlike how Pranu was.Little brat.Didnt go to anyone except you."
The mention of Pranush always brings memories for her.Still now he wouldnt go to anyone.Looking for her mother and here she couldnt spare time for him.She wanted to but no one was allowing.
He cupped her face and asked her what was bothering her.
V-"Now let me get you ready.Because you have two important tasks after that.Getting your son and then me ready."
He winked at her and she smiled and hugged him.Knowing how he understand her feelings so well.After some time Vivaan was busy helping her draping saree.He held safety pins and she was fixing saree.It was beautiful deep orange color kanjeevaram.
