One year later
12 at night

Manik opened the door of his home. It was dark. He stealthily, without making any noise, walked towards his room. ever since the launch of his music company, manik had become very busy and it had become usual for him to return late. Although mukti was the owner, still manik had to look after the company.

He opened his room door, it was dark, so he tiptoed and went closer to the bed, to have a look at her sleeping figure, but to her surprise, she wasn't there on the bed. Manik got confused and looked here and there but she wasn't there. He finally slid the glass doors and went out in the balcony. He looked down and there she was wrapped in a shawl, sitting on a chair, near the bonfire.

He descended down the side stairs and reached to her and kissed the top of her head from back. She looked up and smiled.

"why are you still awake, nandini?" manik asked , sitting beside her on the couch.

"i was waiting for you...i had to talk to you" she said. Manik noticed that she was stressed.

"haan bolo...i am listening"

"ni not like this, pehle chalo fresh ho jao...dinner kar lo...fir araam se baat karenge"

"nandini...pehle baat kar lete hain na fir baki kaam kar lenge"

"manik...NO"

Manik knew her no means no...so he sighed and got up with her.

They walked inside and manik started opening his shoes, till then nandini went in the bathroom and switched on the geyser for hot water.
.....
Finally after having dinner, both settled on the bed.

"ab bolo...kya baat hai..tabhi se dekh raha hun...tum pareshaan ho"

"manik " she said and took his palm in hers. He saw her anxiousness, so took her in his embrace

"nandini...baby....kya hua hai...batao mujhe...you are scaring me"

"manik..i am late in my periods by 20 days..." she said. Manik pulled her out of his embrace, her eyes were moist, she would cry any moment.

"nandini...dekho maine bio kabhi itni dhyan se ni padha tha...so mujhe ni samajh araha tum kya kehna chah rahi ho...if you want to say ki tumhri tabiyat thk ni h...toh we will go and see a doctor tomorrow itself, don't worry" as he was saying all this, nandini broke into a smile amid her tears, on his cuteness.

"manik...if a girl is late on her periods, pregnancy can be a possibility, provided that she is having regular s** "

Manik had an 'oh' expression hearing her explanation. "toh tum pregnant ho?? But we were using protection..."

"i had a doubt, isilye maine ghar par test kiya and the result was positive...may be protection failed" nandini said amidst the torrent of tears.

"nandini ...ye toh achi news hai na....tum ro q rahi ho?"he asked wiping her tears. He faked excitement to make her feel better, but in reality he was worried. He lied , he had not wanted a child so soon. In his plan of things, a baby was definitely not in the scene.

"manik...i am sorry...i know tumhe bachcha abhi ni chahye tha....even i had not planned it...i am just 26 now, it is too soon..." she was stopped in the middle from speaking "nandini...this baby is a symbol of our love...it will be our first child..." this time nandini interrupted.

"manik this can't be an emotional decision...it is a huge responsibility. Everything will change for me....my priorities, my work...i have projects lined up till next year....and what about you? Tumhra v toh pure year ka calendar full h, even in last few months you have been so busy. Tumhre paas toh mere liye hi time ni hai.......baby,how will we manage...?"
Manik knew that she is right.

"nandini...main apne schedule mein changes karaunga...i will cancel some less important meetings and will do other adjustments. Don't worry about me....i want you to think about yourself...it will be you who will be the most affected. you will have to carry the baby for 9 months in your womb...your career will be affected...you will have to sacrifice your time to raise the baby...obviously i will be there beside you every moment, but at the end a new-born needs a mother's warmth 24*7. So i want you to think wisely.....whether to keep our baby or abort it...of course i will be happy if you decide to keep it.... but then i would stand by you , whatever you decide."

By now her tears had dried down. She was looking at him dreamily, trying to absorb the fact that she was so lucky to have him. He defines idealism.

Nandini realised that now the ones lies on her to decide wisely. This thought made her restless. Manik stroked her arms as she kept her head on his chest.

"jaan..relax...jyada mat socho..we have time..abhi so jao...chalo..be a good girl"

"ok" she said cutely and slid on the bed. He stroked her hair till she was fast asleep. Then he pulled the covers and for a second his eyes haulted at her belly. The thought of HIS child in her womb warmed his heart. He just hoped that nandini decides to keep the baby. With that thought he too slept hugging her.
