"Come on" I picked Sarah and kept her on the bed. I changed her into her night dress and for the first she didn't make a fuss because she was sleepy and tired.
If I'm beside her then only she sleeps and with Sanskar in some exceptional situations.
I laid beside her and slowly patted her back while she wraps her arm around my stomach.
She sleeps like Sanskar with open mouth and its so funny to watch.
Yesterday was the house warming and tomorrow is the function where all guests will come. Sanskar wanted us to go back to Mumbai today, but I told him not to and with great hesitation he's staying here.
I woke up hearing the door opening side. I switched on the bed side lamp and saw Sanskar closing the door holding some covers.
I covered Sarah in duvet and went near him switching the lights on.
"What's this" I asked peeking inside the cover.
"Your favourite, my favourite" He said ; went to Sarah, kissed her hairs and pulled me to the balcony. We sat on the chairs and he took food from the cover.
"Chicken Biriyani. Yummmm" I said when he opened the food. He laughed opening the other items like dessert, naan and butter chicken.
It's been months since I had chicken. When we asked to parcel the food I cancelled my Biriyani. I found it not good especially in that situation to eat.
"Did anyone saw you buying this" I asked as I take a spoon of biriyani. "And from where did you bought this. It's soo tasty"
"Laksh" He said before I fed him a spoon.
"Whhat!"
"When we were in school and college, we both used to sneak out from our house and go to restaurant and eat chicken. And we had one bucket of KFC in Laksh's room and with narrow luck we escaped before anyone catch us" He laughed. "And he had chicken from the restaurant and he ate 10 mints to let the chicken smell go"
His laugh. The precious thing for which I'll give my life.
"You talked with Mom and everyone" He has booked us ticket to Mumbai tomorrow just after the function.
I told him to go and tell this to everyone.
"Hmm."
This guy still talks to them in one world only. I thought let it be like that itself, coz I tried hard to make him talk in full sentence and he talks in one words. At least that's better than not talking at all.
"And Sam called from US" Sanskar said feeding me the rice.
"And..."
"I want to be there ASAP"
"So we're going back" I asked and he nodded at me.
For more than 2 years I was in US and I badly wanted to come to India. After lot of struggles Sanskar agreed and at that time our daughter decided to make her entry. Then when she was 7 months we came here. It was a vacation actually and now we have to go back because of his works.
It's actually good that we came here. The big burden from Sanskar's head is cleared and he got his family back.

A week later
"I always wanted to ask you. Why are you wearing three rings on one finger bhabhi" Uttara asked me as I was making Sarah ready.
We're going to US back today. And our family has come to Mumbai to bid us back.
"Sanskar proposed me with the big one and the second one is my engagement ring and third one he gifted me after I have birth to Sarah. All these are special and close to my heart. So.." I said looking at my rings.

"Your brother was nervous if i would like the rings but that idiot don't know he has got big selection" I laughed and Uttara smiled at me.
"He really loves you" She said and i smiled at her. "You was there when no one was there for him. You stood with him like a pillar."
"He's my life, you know, i had complications with Sarah and doctor suggested for an abortion and this man with broken heart said yes to it. But God had other plans and brought our daughter safely to us. He's my gem and the biggest treasure I've ever got and my Sarah of course." Unknown to me, a tear formed in my eye. I kissed Sarah's forehead and she kissed me back.
"Let's go" Sanskar said entering the room and i nodded at him.
Sarah jumped to his arms and he held my hand and we walked together.
"I'll be with you, forever" I said and he kissed my hairs.
