Karma [An Indian Story]

Flashback 2

              1 week later

Devika was very happy today. She was in the kitchen preparing Om's favourite dishes. She woke up early in the morning, so she would have enough time for the preparations. She was humming her favourite song.
Hmmmm.....

Suddenly

Woooaaa....
She ran into the bathroom to empty her stomach. After rinsing her mouth and washing her face she stared at her reflection in the mirror.
She touched her stomach and smiled thinking what will be Om's reaction when she will tell him about the baby.
She find out about her pregnancy next day after Om's tour.

           -Flashback-
 
After dropping Angad at the bus stop Devika called her friend Gauri.
"Hey Gauri ! Doctor's appointment is at 10 a.m. Are you coming or not?" Devika asked.
"I wouldn't miss it for the world. I will be there by 9:30."
"Okay. I'm gonna get ready."
"Bye" Gauri hang up the phone.

          -At 9:20 a.m.-

Devika just finished doing her hair when the doorbell rang.
"Devikaaaa...." her friend threw her arms around her as soon as she opened the door.
"You are pre-" Devika covered Gauri's mouth before anyone hear her out.
"Shhh..."
"Sorry! I become very excited sometimes. Is it true?" Gauri asked entering the room.
"I am not sure. Doctor said to come today for the result."
"What if it's true? OMG ! " Gauri couldn't hide her excitement. "Let's go or we could be late."
"Yeah, let me grab my purse."

         -At the clinic-

"Mrs. Malhotra." the receptionist called out.
"Yeah."
"Dr. Chadda is waiting for you."
Devika nodded standing up.

Inside the doctor's chamber there were pregnancy related, smiling babies and pregnant mothers posters on the white wall. She smiled. She remembered her first pregnancy when she was having Angad.
"Mrs. Malhotra. Please have a seat." Dr. Chadda, a gynaecologist in her late forties with dark brown eyes and grey hair starting to appear on her head, nodded.
"Thank you." Devika said taking a seat. Gauri sat beside her.
"So, I have looked over your tests. And I'm 100% confirmed you are right. You are pregnant Mrs. Malhotra. Congratulations !" Dr. Chadda smiled.
"What? God! I'm gonna be an aunt." Gauri exclaimed.
Devika put her hands on her mouth. She couldn't form any words. She just sat there with eyes widened.
Gauri took her hands in her and squeezed. "Devika, I'm so happy for you." she hugged her. Devika could only nod her head.

  
               -Present-

She had to wake Angad for school. She opened his bedroom door and went inside. She found him sleeping peacefully with a smile on his face.
Must be having a dream. She thought.
She couldn't wait to see Angad's reaction when she and Om would tell him about his new brother or sister.
"Angad" she called him running her fingers in his hair.
No response.
"Wake up son. Time to get ready for the school."
"Mmmm" he groaned.
"Daddy will be coming today. Do you want to be a bad boy who didn't go to school."
Suddenly he opened his eyes and jumped off the bed. "Yay! Dad will be coming today." he shouted running inside the bathroom.
After brushing the teeth Devika bathed him.
"Mom, what time dad's coming?" he asked when Devika was combing his hair.
"Around 11 a.m."
"I will be in school at that time." he said with disappointment.
"It's okay. You will see him after school." she said fixing his tie around his neck. "Let's go for breakfast."

Devika couldn't hide her excitement. She was glancing at the clock every 2 minutes. She was preparing the thaali when the doorbell rang.
Om has come. She smiled.

She hold the thaali and opened the door.
"Vikrant? Where is Om?" she asked Vikrant when she couldn't find Om. "Must be coming in other taxi."
"Bhabhiji." he said with a little sadness in his voice .
"What is it? Where is Om?" she asked worriedly.
"I'm sorry. He is not coming."
"What do you mean he is not coming?"
"He was found dead in his hotel room in London."
"What?" she fell to the ground scattering all the contents of the thaali.
