Sanyukta was resting in room.
She looked lost,upset and absent.
"Jaaan..." "Have some soup...come on" came Randhir with a bowl of soup thus breaking her trance
"NO..." She replied plainly
"Sanyukta...please" He requested
"No Randhir...I don't want it" Sanyukta shouted
Randhir sigh and kept the bowl on side table
He sat next to her sleeping frame
He lightly placed his hand on hers
"Please..." he said
"No...there my baby is starving...and you expect me too eat..." She said
"Sanyukta but..."
"No Randhir...god knows what this people are doing with my son" "Giving him food or not..." "Its two days...now I haven't seen my son's face" "I don't know how he looks" "I..am so unlucky...I am so...bad mother" She said
"Its nothing like that" "Situations are such...that even we are helpless..." Randhir said
"I don't know what went wrong" "I took care...I took my medicines on time" "I don't know..why is god punishing me" "I just..." She hide her face in her palms
"Stop blaming yourself Sanyukta..." "Its not your fault" "And for god sake...Shaury is living and he is fine...do you get that" Randhir said in high voice
"I want to see him Randhir...." Sanyukta said
Randhir didn't say anything but took her in his arms
"I want to see him..." Sanyukta said hiding her face in crook of his neck
Randhir couldn't stop his tears.
"Whats my fault Randhir?" "Why?" "Why is my baby...my Shaury not with me" She cried in his arms
"Jaaaaan please..." "Please...its not your fault" Randhir said
Sanyukta sobbed.
"I am very bad" "I couldn't take care of my baby..." She said
"Nothing like that Sanyukta...Stop it now" He said breaking the hug
He wiped hear tears
He lightly pecked her forehead.
"Mumma wants kissy?" He asked copying her cute tone
"Mumma wants Shaury..." She replied innocently
"He will be with us" "But you know Sanyukta...once we will take Shaury at home...how will we get time for romance" "To kiss...to make love..." Randhir said and kissed her eyes one by one
She smiled hearing his words.
"Mumma will be busy with Shaury...so no kiss,no love making" He pouted
She quickly pouted his peck
"Mumma loves Shaury's daddy" She said
"Daddy loves Shaury's Mumma..." He said
"Mumma & Daddy loves Shaury..." She said
"Mumma & Daddy loves Shivanya..." He said
"Shivanya..." She repeated
"Hmm..." He rubbed his nose with hers
"After 5 years...let Shaury be little old..." She said
"Hmm..." He pecked her lips
"Randhir please take me to Shaury...I want to see him" Sanyukta requested
"Jaaan...I know but...its not allowed" He said
"Please Randhir...talk to doctor" "Please for me..." She said
"Okay I will..." Randhir said
"Please..." She said
He nodded and kissed her forehead
Just then they heard a knock on the door.
"Mrs Shekhawat...how are you now?" came her doctor
"Fine doctor..." Sanyukta replied
"Mrs Shekhawat come with me please..." Doctor said
"Shaury?" "My baby...is he fine?" "He is fine na doctor..." Sanyukta was scared
"He is fine...he needs you" "Please come with me to his room" "You need to feed him now..." "Come..." doctor said
Sanyukta's happiness knew no bounds.
Finally god listened to her wish
She is going to see Shaury now.
She is going to feed her baby now.
"Mr Shekhawat...please help her" doctor asked Randhir
Randhir helped Sanyukta in standing up
"Randhir I am going to see Shaury now..." Sanyukta chirped
"Hmm..." Randhir nodded
He slowly took her to the room where Shaury was.
Sanyukta read the board it said "NICU: neonatal intensive care unit"
"Shaury..." was the only word she could speak
"Mr Shekhawat..you please outside..." Doctor took Sanyukta inside
Sanyukta took a step forward and the door closed.
Randhir was still standing there.
He was happy for Sanyukta.
But at the same was worried for her.
"Please give her strength god..." his heart said
Sanyukta was made to sit on bed.
She looked around the room.
Soon nurse came pushing a strecher which had a glass box fixed on it.
The nurse stopped the strecher in front of Sanyukta.
"Your son..." Nurse said
Sanyukta couldn't move her eyes.
They were fixed on him.
The tiny,little,cute...Shaury
Sanyukta touched the glass of the box as if trying to feel Shaury
Her eyes welled up.
There were some tubes attached to soft and delicate body of his.
His fingers were curled in lose fist.
Fingers of legs curled
His small and closed eyes.
That cute and tiny nose.
Those pinkish red lips.
Soft,delicate and pinkish cheeks.
Curly hair.
"Shaury..." Sanyukta mumbled
There was cotton band in his small wrist which had 'Shekhawat' written on it.
"Shaury" She mumbled and there Shaury made a finger movement.
He opened his tiny mouth to take a yawn.
"Shaury....see...Mumma is here" Sanyukta said
Little Shaury was now trying to open his eyes.
Sanyukta's eyes brimmed with happy tears.
