Sameer lied on the bed with Neerja on his chest.Their eyes were glued upon their baby. Soon after the deep distress which she had because of journey sickness, she was soothed  to ease by her parents. When she felt relief, she switched off back to her normal form. "She is ok..isn't she?", Sameer enquired. This will be more than umpteenth time he would have asked. Deep in her heart , Neerja can understand the trembling heart of Sameer.

 "She is sleeping...Sam, you should get some sleep."Neerja patted his head. Sleep was far away from him. They didn't know how the next day began. Neerja was preparing breakfast for them while Sameer was playing with a rubic cube near Varsha. When the warmth of sunrays hit her face, she opened her eyes. She made some happy noises and babbled in her own language with her father. Sameer kissed her forehead and hugged her closer to his heart. "Sam, come for breakfast", Neerja sat beside him with a plate full of food. "I am not feeling hungry Neeru. You have it. I will have after some time." Sameer wiped his tears without her notice. 

" If you keep on telling that , food will be there as it is. Come let me feed you", she brought a morsel of food near to his mouth. She was stopped when she saw his eyes were reddened. "Sam, are you crying?", Neerja choked. "Hey,no! It was because of dust. You have it..I will comeback after taking a bath", he moved towards their bedroom. Neerja's  hunger was dead for that moment. She too dumped her food and kept the plate close. Varsha tried to wake up taking a support on Neerja's body. 

"Mama..mma...", she smiled. Neerja hugged and showered her with kisses. She took baby and moved to their bedroom to see Sameer was deeply thinking with his eyes closed on their bed. 

Neerja touched his shoulder, with Varsha on her lap

Neerja touched his shoulder, with Varsha on her lap. "Why didn't you take bath? Aren't you getting ready to go to shop today?"Neerja asked him. " I am not in a mood to go Neeru. Way too tired...", Sameer lazily sat upright. "That's not fair. Get ready Sam. Just go for your work. That may change your mood." Neerja took a neatly ironed shirt and jeans kept them on the bed. She applied some oil on his hair and massaged. Neerja pulled Sameer up and guided him towards the bathroom. Once he entered to take bath, Neerja gave a heaved a deep sigh. Standing under the shower , he vent out his sadness in the form of tears...

The condition wasn't much different for Neerja. She was feeding Varsha , who munched on the food happily. After the shower, Sameer got ready to move to his furniture studio. Their breakfast time was pindrop silent so that it alerted baby Varsha to look at her parents with a baffled face. When Sameer was about to move out their apartment without giving goodbye kiss to Varsha , she made noise trying to catch attention from her father.

 "naaaaa....nananaaa...", she flew her hands towards him.
