Paths of Life

Part 40

Namit was playing with her hair and Neha was snuggled to his chest. Both were enjoying the silence and feeling each other after a long time.

Namit : Neha?? Slept sweetie???

Neha lifted her head a little and smiled : No

Namit brought her on top of him and kissed her hair : I missed you....

Neha kissed his chest : Me too....

Namit asked slowly and carefully : Neha darling can I ask you something??

Neha giggled : Since when you started taking permission?? Of course ask away.....

Namit : See it's just a suggestion don't panic ok.

Neha stiffened hearing him and tried to get up but Namit tightened his hold : Baby relax....

Neha : Please just spill it out....

Namit took a deep breath and then said : Yesterday me, mom and dad were having breakfast and they suggested me something..

Neha confused : What??

Namit : Do we need our blood and DNA to love a child like our own??

Neha asked perplexed : What you mean by this????

Namit : Mom dad suggested us to adopt a baby.

Neha got up with a jerk and shouted : WHAT??

Namit also got up instantly and wrapped an arm around her shoulder : Relax ok I was just sharing it with you. We are not doing any such thing without your permission. It will be our decision. Your and mine and your opinion matters to me a lot darling.

Neha : They... I...I need time to think about it. What do you feel about this?

Namit : Honestly I feel mom and dad are right. There are so many couples in this world who cannot have their own child due to various reasons and also there are many children out there who don't have their own parents. Adopting a child will fulfill our wish of becoming parents and will give an opportunity to a good life to that kid. So I think it's a great thing to do.....

Neha : I don't know what to say... Give me some time....

Namit kissed her temple : Take all the time you want. Just think with a broad mindset ok? True relations are bonded from heart Neha not by blood.

Neha nodded her head giving him a weak smile. Namit knew this thing had shaken her up from inside so to divert the topic for the time being he said : Hey one more thing!

Neha : What now??

Namit : I was thinking of going somewhere. Just you and me. I didn't even took you for a proper honeymoon.

Neha smiled and kissed his cheek : Who told you that? Our Kashmir trip was one of the best trips of my life but if you want to take me somewhere then I don't mind.....

Namit grinned : That's like my girl. Tell me where you want to go??

Neha : Place doesn't matter as long as we are together....

Namit thought for a while : How about Paris?? The city of love??

Neha's face lit up at his words : Paris?? You know I always wanted to visit it once in a lifetime with the love of my life.

Namit : Then you should have told me earlier I would have taken you beforehand.

Neha : Well now I am telling you....

Namit : I will inform about my leave tomorrow at the hospital and then do all the arrangements.

Neha : Ok I will do our shopping till then...
