Qurbat - A Nuptial Knot

"MERA baccha"

Negi Nivaas...
Devaki and Sameeksha were standing in front of the door of Devaki's bedroom.

"Bhabhi jao na! Kab takk yaha khade rehna hai?" Sameeksha asked. "Haan. Ab to pakka jaungi!" Devaki said. "Bhabhi yeh aap pichle das minutes se bol rhe ho" Sameeksha rolled her eyes.

Devaki sighed and took some steps forwards. She was about to open the door when she came back again. "Mujhse nhi hoga" She said. "Bhabhi ab agar aap nhi geyi to me jaake bta dungi!" Sameeksha said.

"Haan yeh sahi rahega, tum hi jaake bta do" Devaki said, Sameeksha gave her a 'seriously!?' look. "Nhi...actually...tum apne time Rohit ko btana" Devaki said. Sameeksha lowered her lashes and smiled a bit.

Suddenly Karan opened bedroom's room. "Arey...tum dono yaha kya kar rhi ho?" He asked. "Bhaiya woh...Bhabhi ko kucch btana tha" Sameeksha said.

Devaki looked at her with widened eyes. "Devaki? Kya baat hai? Btao" Karan said. "Woh...actually..." She said, "Sameeksha tumhe neend aa rhi hai na? Jao, so jao" She said to Sameeksha.

Karan looked confused. Sameeksha chuckled and left. "Kya hua, btaoghi?" He asked. "Pehle andar chaliye" She said taking him in the bedroom.

She locked the door. When she turned she found Karan staring at her. "I'm losing my cool" He said calmly.

"Woh..." She started but didn't know how to say that she was pregnant. "Ek second" She said and went towards her cupboard.

She took out a file and gave it to Karan. "Padhiye" She said, he nodded and opened it.

A wide smile was on her face, she was waiting for his reaction. He read the report but his facial expressions didn't really change.

"Devaki...yeh..." He said, "aapko kucch samajh nhi aaya? Saaf saaf to likha hai" She said. "Samajh aa gaya" He said closing the file, "to aap khush nhi hue?" She asked. "Khush hua...par...itni jaldi?" He asked.

Devaki was a bit shocked. "Karan? Aap papa ban'ne wale ho" She said, "I know...par...abhi??" He asked. "Karan yeh har couple ka sapna hota hai...hamara sapna sach ho raha aur aap..." She said in disbelief.

"Devaki esa nhi hai ke me khush nhi hua...par...tumhe nhi lagta yeh boht jaldi ho raha hai?" He asked. "Mujhe neend aa rhi hai. Good night" She said and laid on the bed.

He rolled his eyes. She switched off the lights. He laid next to her. She turned so that Karan was facing her back.

He heard her crying. He sighed and turned towards her. "Devaki" He called her but she didn't reply.

"Devaki" He placed his hand on her upper arm. "Mujhse baat mat kijie Karan" She said getting rid of his hand.

"Suno to" He said. "Kaha na nhi baat karni" She said, "arey baat sun to lo" He said. "Nhi sun'na kucch bhi. Itni khush thi me...aur aap? Sab khrab kar dia. Vese to baccha baccha karte rehte ho, ab ho raha hai to khush nhi...I hate you" She complained.

He chuckled at her cuteness. "Upar se hass rahe ho" She said. "Ab itni cutely baate krogi to hasunga hi" He said, "accha sorry" He said.

"Bhaad me geyi sorry" She said wiping her tears. "Sochlo, agar sorry accept na ki to..." He said, "to kya? Darti nhi hu me aap se!" She said.

"Accha? Pakka na??" He asked coming close to her. "H...haan pakka" She said. "Sure?" He whispered biting her ear. She hummed. He wrapped his arm around her waist.

"Jaha aapka haath jaa raha hai na, waha mera baby hai..." She said pushing him, "MERA baby" She said.

He smirked. "Taali do haath se bajti hai darling" He said, "to mene apni taali apne dono haatho se baja li. Aapke haath ki zarurat nhi padi mujhe!" She said sitting on the bed.

"Haath ki to nhi...par...you know kisi aur cheez ki zarurat padi..." He teased her. She looked at him, "cheeee!!!! Kitni gandi baate krte ho aap!" She said hitting him.

"Arey pyaar! Pyaar ki baat kar raha hu!! Mere pyaar ki zarurat padi tumhe" He said holding her hands.

"Acche se jaanti hu me aapko" She said. He chuckled. "Chalo so jao ab, ese der raat takk jaagna baby ke lie sahi nhi hai" He said making her lay. "Itni fikar hai?" She asked. "Haan hai, akheer mera bhi baccha hai...chalo so jao" He said caressing her hair. She smiled and closed her eyes.
