Anika tensed hokar apne cabinme bethi thi. Tia (Shivaay and Anika ki mutual friend)usse dekhkar uske paas aakar beth jati hai,"Hey Anika, how are you dear?"Anika uske taraf dekhkar fade smile deti hai,"I am fine Tia" Tia thodi confuse hoti hai,"Anika kya hua? Tum thik to ho na?" Anika wapas fade smile dekar,"Everything is good Tia, don't worry" Tia uss batko chhod deti hai,"Achha batao tumhare pati parmeshwar yani humare Mr Oberoi kaise hai?" Anika smile dekar,"Wo bhi thik hai" Tiako kuch fishy lagta hai. Wo aur kuch puche isse pehle waha Mr. Agrawal aate hai,"Anika madam aapka resignation letter accept kiya hai, darsal dekha jaye to loss to humare companyka hi hai jo aapke jaise ek honar employeeka resign accept kar rahi hai"Anika unko smile deti hai. "Waise hum aapko na bhi nahi keh sakte. Mr Oberoi ko humari companyke tarafse congrats jarur kahiyega aur haa aap apna khayal rakhiyega"Anika thanks kehti hai. Mr Agrawal wahase chale jate hai. Tia resignationki bat se shock hoti hai,"Anika what happened? Suddenly ye resignation kyu? Kuch hua hai kya Anika? Agar kuch bat tumhe share karni hai to tum mujhe bata sakti ho. Aise achanak resignation dene ki kya jarurat hai? Bhulo mat hum ek dusre ke ache dost pehle hai fir colleagues hai" Anika nervously batati hai,"Wo Tia...I am Pregnant" Tia khush ho kar,"That's great news Anika. Isliye tumne resign kiya? Wow ab me jaldi maasi banungi. Waise Shivaay to ye baat sunkar nachne laga hoga, bahot khush hua hoga wo, hai na?" Anika use tightly hug karke rone lagti hai,"Kya bat hai Anika? Kuch problem hai? Kahi tumhare pregnancy me kuch...." Anika sar hilati hai,"Nahi Tia, mere pregnancyme kuch bhi complications nahi hai. Wo Shivaay abhi bachha nahi chahte. Unko ye baby abhi nahi chahiye" Tia shock aur confuse hokar,"What? Aise kaise par? Anika mujhe please detail me batao, aakhir problem kya hai?" Anika aansoo pochkar,"Wo maine aur Shivaayne ye teh kiya tha ki hum aur 2 sal tak baby ke bareme nahi sochenge. Main pills bhi le rahi thi par kuch time bad band kar diye. Maine socha iske side effects bahot honge isliye maine chhod diye aur ab me pregnant hu. Maine abhi tak ye baat Shivaayko nahi batayi. Pata nahi wo kaise react karenge... Main soch rahi hu abortion kar...." Tia gussa hokar, "Khabardar Anika!! Aisa sochna bhi mat. Ab rona band kar do. Mujhe ek baat batao kya tumhe khudko ye baby chahiye? Kya tum khud abhi isske liye ready ho?" Anika smile karti hai,"Ye bachha meri jaan hai Tia, yeh mere aur Shivaayke pyar ki nishani hai, ye mere shareer ka hissa hai, main isse aisehi nahi khona chahti, Tia. Main janti hu main bhi pehle redy nahi thi par ab bachha aa gaya hai to main use apne dilse accept karne ke liye taiyar hu Tia. Ye mera aur Shivaayka baby hai Tia, main isse aisehi kaise apne aapse dur jane du?" Tia uske kandhepe hath rakhti hai,"To ab bass, rona band karo. Ye bachha sirf Shivaayka nahi hai,tumhara bhi hai isliye decision sirf Shivaayka nahi hoga, aur agar Shivaayko bachha nahi chahiye tha to usse bhi to protection usse karna chahiye tha. Ye responsibility tumhari akeliki to nahi thi, aur jo bhi hua hai it's natural Anika. Khudko itna stress mat do. Aur achha kiya jo tune pills lena band kiya kyu ki maine suna hai jyada pills lenese conceive karneke chances bhi kum hone lagte hai. Agar tum jyada pills logi to kya pata unfortunately tum bad me conceive kar hi nahi paogi. Aur waise bhi ye abortionki baat apne dimagse nikal do ye ek illegal process hai aur main to manti hu abortion karna matlab kisika murder karna hi hai, aur bachhe pe jyada hak tumhara hai kyu ki wo tumhare andar pal raha hai, uske delivery ke time tum jyada dardse gujrogi, to waise bhi tum donome tumhara decision important hai, Shivaayka nahi. Aur agar tumhe jyada tension aa rahi hai to kuch time bad apne maake pass chali jana kyu ki aise halatme jyada stress lena achhi bat nahi hai" Anika Tiase bat karneke bat bahot relax hoti hai,"Thanks Tia, tumse bat karne ke bad main abhi bahot halka mehsus kar rahi hu" Tia use hug karti hai,"Tum abhi befikar hokar ghar jao, aur agar kuch jarurat pade to call karna,me humesha tumhare sath rahungi, abhi me chalti hu mujhe thora kam hai." Tia wahase chali jati hai.
At Evening
Anika Shivaayka intezar karti hai. Shivaay gusse se roomme aata hai,"What's wrong with you Anika? Mujhe kisi baharke samne aise humiliate karne ki kya jarurat thi?" Anika samaj jati hai ki Shivaayko uski pregnancyke bareme pata chal gaya hai. "Shivaay main aapko batanehi wali thi..." Shivaay jyada gussa hota hai,"Really? Kya batane wali thi yahi na ki tum pregnant ho? Seriously Anika, jo baat mujhe tumse janani chahiye thi wo mujhe kisi baharwalese samajh rahi hai, just wowww...." Anika Shivaayke gusse se dar jati hai,"Please Shivaay dheere boliye,mujhe dar lag raha hai aur iske wajahse mera bachha bhi affect ho raha hai. Please dheere boliye" Shivaay gusse se uske taraf dekhta hai,"Yes right, tumhara bachha...Anika humne teh kiya tha na aur do sal tak hum bachhe ke bareme nahi sochenge, toh ye sab kaise Anika?" Anika uske pass aakar,"Main manti hu Shivaay humne teh kiya tha,par Shivaay kabhi kabhi protection bhi kam nahi karta aur ab agar ye bachha aanewala hai to hum isse accept kar sakte hai na. Main abortion nahi karungi Shivaay,ye humara bachha hai,humare pyar ki nishani hai ye,main isse aisehi apnea apse alag nahi karungi,main isse janam dungi Shivaay" Shivaay uske taraf dekh kar,"And what about me Anika? Mere decisions ab koi nahi mayne rakhte kya? Main jo sochta hu ab tumhe wo galat lag raha hai? Anika main abhi iss bachhe ke liye ready nahi hu, samjhneki koshish karo yar..." Anika use hug karti hai,"Isme ghabranewali koi baat nahi hai Shiv, jab bachha aayega tab dekhna hum dono milke sab thik kar denge, sab apne aap thik ho jayega Shiv" Shivaay hug todkar,"Mujhe kuch nahi pata, maine ek bar decision le liya matlab le liya,ya to tum abortion kar do ya fir...." Anika shockingly,"Ya fir kya Shivaay....?" Shivaay ,"Tumne jobse resign kiya hai Anika, aur main to tumhara isme saath nahi de sakta to tum ye sab yaha akeli kaise...." Anika replied,"Main samaj gayi Shivaay,aapko meri fikar karneki koi jarurat nahi hai,main abhi yahase maa ke ghar chali jaungi, you don't have to worry Mr Shivaay Singh Oberoi" Anika apna saman pack karti hai,"Main chalti hu Mr Oberoi" Shivaay usse rokta hai,"Tum aise akele mat jao, main tumhe chod deta hu" Anika furiously,"Uski koi jarurat nahi hai Mr Oberoi, main apne aapse chali jaungi aur rahi baat chodne ki to aapne mujhe pehlehi chod diya hai to ab ye sari formalities ki koi jarurat nahi hai" Wo Shivaayko keys deti hai,"Pata hai Mr Oberoi main iss bachhe ko kyu janam dena chahti hu? Ye sirf mera bachha nahi hai, yeh humare pyarki nishani hai, aap bhi iss bachheke baap ho aur main aapse utnahi pyar karti hu jitna iss bachhe ko,par afsos shayad aap mujhse ab pyar nahi karte" Wo OM chhodkar apne maa ke ghar jati hai.
