THREE MONTHS LATER

****************************************************

Dev was soundly sleeping in his room, with Ansh on top of him lying on his tummy tightly clutching his father's torso...suddenly he was woken up to some peculiar noise coming from somewhere in his own bedroom...he woke up with a start as he realized someone was sobbing inside the washroom...he turned his head around to the other corner of the bed which is occupied by Sona...but he found her missing at the moment which was enough to raise his blood pressure even more...scrunching his eyes he picked up his phone to check the timing...hell it was 4 a.m. ...the sun had not even risen and his sunshine was nowhere around to be seen...was she the one shedding tears in the washroom?...he had to find out...putting Ansh down carefully he made him lie down in the middle of the bed to ensure he doesn't fall down and quickly made his way to the washroom...there she was sitting ...her knees tightly snuggled near her chest...head buried in her lap...tears failing to stop from her dark brown orbs...what was it that had caused her so much pain that she chose to confine herself to the small area of the washroom and didn't even bother to wake him up...did she have a bad dream... was she not feeling well...thousands of questions clouded his mind as he shut the door of the washroom to avoid Ansh from waking up.

Squatting down besides her he kept his hand on her shoulder and shook her a bit to force her to lift her head up and face him...leaving her stance she just crashed herself into his arms only to cry her heart out, her tears wetting his t-shirt...caressing her hair he patted her back to calm her down... "kya hua hai Sona...mera Shona baccha kyun ro raha hai?...koi bura sapne dekha kya?...tumhari tabiyat theek nahin hai ...ya jo bhi hai please batao mujhe...I can't see you like this and you know that...atleast mujhe batao to sahi ki kya hua hai...I promise hum milke ise sort out karenge ok..."...Dev had still not finished when Sona cut him in between to reveal to him the reason behind her demeanor ..."Dev I'm pregnant...I mean I think ki I'm pregnant...I mean I'm half sure half unsure...but I strongly feel..."...Sona continued blabbering as Dev starred at her, his eyes widened due to the news he had just gathered...did she say she was expecting ...her child...his child...no actually their child...but she said she was not sure...it was just her assumption...but assumptions did turn true sometimes didn't they...and if what she was feeling was right then he could only imagine how happy he would be ...he had always been very fond of kids...he always wished he had lot of kids with whom he could re-live all the moments of his childhood which he had somewhere lost down the line...but when Sona came into his life he was so happy to have her all for him that even the news of her infertile condition couldn't wear off his love for her...he could let go off his dream to be a father but couldn't let Sona go off from his life...then Ansh came into their lives...he got to fulfill all his wishes with him with Sona still being by his side...and now she just told him that she was pregnant...he felt the life coming back to him in full circles ...God had taken away from him the people whom he loved the most ...but had given him back some more precious people who would love him back with the same intensity as he would love them.

Dev suddenly snapped out of his reverie as he felt Sona still sobbing in his embrace...he cupped he face and kissed her forehead to calm her down..."ismein rone ki kya baat hai?...yeh to khushi ki baat haina...aur tumhe kaise pata I mean tumhe chakkar aa rahe hai kya...ya ultiyan ho rahi hai?...kuch to batao"...Sona composed herself to answer the numerous questions Dev was shooting at her..."offo Dev har baar chakkar aane se yah ulti hone se hi symptoms nahin dikhte hain...woh actually mujhe pichle kuch dino se spotting ho rahi thi...aur iss baar date bhi miss ho gayi...mujhe doubt aaya to maine test kit use kiya...the lines did turn blue...so I guess that I have conceived...lekin iss baar hum bina doctor se confirm kiye bilkul excite nahin honge ok...kal subah sabse pehle hum gynac ke paas jayenge aur phir hi sure honge...usse pehle kisiko nahin batana ...Ansh ko bhi nahin...aur maa baba ko bhi nahin...promise me"...Dev pecked her lips lightly as she smiled coyly..."promise Mrs. Dixit...Devakshi waala promise."

The following morning they went straight to the doctor leaving Ansh behind with his nanny...the tests were done and reports confirmed that Sona was in her first trimester...infact she was already 2 months pregnant...Dev and Sona sat infront of the doctor waiting for her to give them the required suggestions...they listened carefully as she spoke..."Mr & Mrs Dixit jaisa ki aap dono jaante hai Mrs. Dixit ki yeh pregnancy koi normal nahin hai...it has been possible after going through so many treatments,  and believe me Mrs. Dixit ki determination ke bina yeh bilkul possible nahin hota ...so ab Mr. Dixit aapki responsibility aur bhi jyaada badh jaati hai...aapko Mrs. Dixit ka kuch jyaada khayaal rakhna hoga...waise to yeh evident hai ki aap unko bohot jyaada pamper karte hai but ab aapko shayad unka khayaal sirf ek pati bankar nahin par ek pita ke jaise bhi rakhna hoga...waise to filhal koi complications nahin hai, par aage bhi na ho iskeliye Mrs. Dixit aapko regular check up keliye aana padega...aur haan waise to aap khud ek nutritionist hai par phir bhi apne diet ka khaas khayaal rakhiye ga...aur haan koi bhaari kaam nahi...jitna ho sake utna bed rest kijiye...aur humesha khush rahiye...all the best ...enjoy every moment of this new phase of your lives"...Dev and Sona took leave from the doctor and reached home...as soon as they got home Dev picked up Ansh in his arms and told him that he was going to be a big brother  soon only to be questioned by Ansh that how did the baby get into his mumma's tummy...did she have to swallow it or it just popped up out of nowhere...while Dev was busy giving Ansh his own set of explanations, Sona called up the Bose's back at Delhi and informed them about the latest development...she also insisted they fly down to US after 3-4 months as it would be too difficult for Dev to handle Ansh as well as a heavily pregnant Sona single-handedly.

Next four months went off very smoothly, Dev had shifted his office at his residence...he would handle his work as well as look after Sona and Ansh...he would also cook some of Sona's favorite dishes for her with Sona puking at even the slightest smell of onion or garlic...she would always argue with him to let her enter the kitchen but Dev being Dev would know all the measures to keep her out of it...Ansh too had become a very smart boy ...he had just stopped bullying around and would quietly sit besides Sona when she would doze off; as if keeping a watch on her; while Dev would be busy with his office work...all went off well till Sona entered her 6^th month of pregnancy, she would often laugh and cry at the drop of the hat without any reason in particular...she would often question him if she was looking fat and however hard he tried he couldn't satisfy her with his replies...Dev could now realize the meaning why her doctor had asked him to be a father to his own wife...pregnancy and it mood swings...they are a complete package he realized.

 

***************************************************

ONE FINE NIGHT

***************************************************

Dev woke up as he realized someone was hitting his arm with her tiny fist...Sona was trying to wake up a fast asleep Dev who had just dozed off after putting Ansh to bed..."Shonu kya hua?...kuch chahiye kya tumhe?...maar kyun rahi ho mujhe?"...he couldn't decipher as to why she was angry with him?..."tum na bohot gande ho...tumne last time mujhe promise kiya tha ki tum mujhe icecream khilane le jaoge...par tumne apna promise tod diya...tumhe pata bhi nahin hai ki tum kitne jyaada cruel ho..."...she scrunched her nose as she said this...her antics reminding him of Ansh..."abhi kahaan Sona...aadhi raat ko kahan milegi ice-cream...aisa karte hai kal subah chalet hain...pakka...ab so jao please...mera Shona baccha..."..."nahin kal nahin aaj abhi isi waqt...warna mujhe tumse baat nahin karni hai...katti"...she crossed her arms across her chest  as she turned her face away from him...he held his head tightly thinking of ways to persuade her...but after losing his one-sided battle he had to take her out for her fill of ice-cream...she squealed like a kid as she had her favorite chocolate ice-cream while Dev just glared at her lovingly...as they got home Dev locked the main door and turned only to find her looking at him intently..."kya hua?...aur kuch khana hai kya?...chalo sone chalo"...Sona stretched her arms as if signaling him something..."Dev bohot din ho gaye na aapne mujhe godi mein nahin uthaya ...aaj uthayiye na ...please"...Dev would have refused to take this risk...but Sona was looking just like a little baby...with her hands held out and her lips forming a pout...he picked her up carefully as carried her to the bedroom and put her down on the bed...she again stretched her arms inviting him..."mere paas aao naa ...baby bula raha hai aapko...dekho kuch kehna chahta hai..."...Dev lay down besides her and put his ear on her tummy to hear the heartbeats of their child...but soon he realized Sona was actually upto something else...although she had asked him to listen to their baby's heartbeat, her intentions & actions spelt something else...she was busy drawing patterns on his nape...even when they had gone out for ice-cream she had tried her best to stay in close proximity with him...what did she exactly wish to do...was she trying to seduce him or something ?

"Sona yeh kya kar rahi ho tum...dekho yeh sahi nahin hai...your are 6 months pregnant aur iss halat mein its not advisable to make love...samjha karo jaan...don't do this to me ...you know I'm bad at self-control...it could be risky for you and our baby"...the moment these words had left his mouth she started crying uncontrollably...so loud was her wailing that he was scared he might be booked for domestic violence by their neighbors..."Sona chup ho jaao, kya kar rahi ho...log samjhenge ki main tumhe maar raha hoon...accha baba batao to sahi kya hua...yeh sab achanak se kyun?"..."kyunki ab aap mujhe pyaar nahin karte...main fat jo ho gayi hoon na...aur ab aap mere paas bhi nahi aa sakte...isilye aap mujhse pyaar nahin karte...aaa"...Sona continued wailing after her long speech to Dev making it even more difficult for him to handle her hormones..."arrey kisne keh diya tumse ki I don't love you...bas kuch mahino ki to baat hai Sona...phir sab theek ho jayega...ek baar humara baccha aa jaye phir hum pehle ki tarah woh sab karenge jo tum chahti ho ok...abhi sirf isiliye roka because yeh sab karne se bacche ko khatra ho sakta hai"...Dev tried his best to convince her, but she was in no mood to listen..."no you don't love me anymore...aap meri wishes bhi poori nahin karte...aap humesha mujhse chidte ho...agar aisa nahin hai then prove to me that you still love me"...dev had no clue as to how he should pacify her...as he was thinking about ways to calm her down, he felt her peck his cheeks...before he could react Sona started trailing her fingers all over his face and neck...he wanted to say a lot of things to her but decided against it...he just closed his eyes to feel her touch in a seducing manner...he didn't realize that he was getting hard down there...situation had actually heated up as Sona pulled his earlobe to snap him out of his world..."Dev aap sahi the ...aapse to bilkul control nahin hota...why do I feel your are getting hard down there...is that true?"...Sona whispered to him huskily as Dev was feeling too shy to confess that he was actually getting hard down there...hell what was he actually thinking...infact he was actually amazed as his 6 month preggers wife could still invoke his raw passion...he just lowered his gaze ashamed as Sona started laughing hysterically..."sorry Dev, I'm really sorry...maine kuch jyaada hi mazaak kar liya aake saath...I know ki inn dino main aapko bohot tang kar rahi hoon na...kabhi bhi kuch bhi maang leti hoon...aur aaj bhi I initiated all this and made you feel guilty about it...I'm really sorry Dev...par kya karun...mujhe aadat ho gayi hai aapke paas bohot jyaada paas rehneki...darr lagta hai ki aap mujhse kabhi bore to nahin ho jayenge na"......she would have told him some more things if he had not grabbed her wrist..."bore hogi meri jooti...aur waise bhi jiski biwi itni jyaada khubsurat ho ki itna bada tummy leke bhi apne pati ko apne liye paagal karde usse koi paagal insaan hi bore hoga...main tumse kabhi bore nahin ho sakta Sona...infact mujhe to tumhari har harquat roz tumse aur bhi jyaada pyaar karne keliye majboor karti hai"...Dev held Sona to his chest as he put his feelings across to her...Sona relaxed as Dev decided to pull her leg..."well yeh baat aur hai ki aaj jo tumne shuru kiya tha aur adhoora chod diya use main bohot jald poora karunga...bass ek baar humara baby iss duniya mein aa jaye phir main tumhe bataunga ki main tumse kitna aur kaisa pyaar karta hoon...I bet Mrs. Dixit you will plead to me to let you go but I will not spare you ..."...Dev smirked as Sona hid her face in his chest...blushing to the deepest hue of crimson.

SONA'S DELIVERY TIME

*******************************************************

 

Dev was pacing up and down in the corridors of the maternity hospital...finally the day had arrived when they would be able to hold their symbol of love in their hands...they had always wished for a baby girl, but deep down he knew he would be equally excited even if it would be a boy...for him the only fact which matters was that Sona's wish to conceive and give birth to a child was getting fulfilled today...the Bose's had already arrived at their place...Bijoy for a change was quiet and instead of panicking himself he was busy pacifying Dev to calm down...Asha was taking care of little Ansh as Saurabh was running around fetching necessary medicines and stuff as instructed by the doctors from time to time...Sona had started feeling contractions early this morning and Dev had immediately rushed her to the hospital even when Bose family had advised him to wait for some time for the contractions to be quicker and lengthier ...he was one whole set of panicking husband when it comes to Sona's health ...the number of questions he had asked the doctor since morning, anyone around could bet nobody must have ever asked...it was almost 5 in the evening now and after bearing hell lot of pain for the entire day Sona had finally been taken into the labor room...he also wished to be by her side throughout by was stopped by the doctor only to be persuaded that he will be asked to come in when the right time comes...the nurse came out in a hurry and asked Dev to accompany her to the OT as Sona could deliver the baby anytime now and this was the time she was when most of the ladies would cry for their mothers but Sona had been crying her lungs out for Dev...Asha was not at all upset to learn about this as she was overwhelmed that all through these years Dev had not only taken the place of a friend, guise, husband and lover in her life but was also filling up the place a parent holds in a girl's life...she could finally say her daughter would hardly miss her being around as she had found her every relation in Dev.

Dev was asked to wear the safety mask , gown and gloves to avoid any sort of infection to the mother and the baby...he got inside and held Sona's hands tightly as the doctors and nurses encouraged her to push the child out with all her might...Dev had read somewhere that a lady experiences a pain equivalent to subsequent breaking of 20 bones in a human body when she goes into labor pain...his eyes brimmed as he saw the immense pain his Sona was going through at the moment but still a feeling of content washed her face as she knew she would cherish every moment of this painful journey...he clasped her palms tightly as Sona's breath was getting hitched as she applied all her might to push the baby out...being a parent was difficult, but being a mother was a boon...he felt deep regret as his thoughts wondered to his mother who also must have gone through similar pain to bring him into this world...a man could become a father just by lending a small part of his body to a lady, while a lady goes through a very emotional phase as she experiences a life growing inside her womb all through her 9 months...he decided to call her up as soon as he would be out of the OT to inform her that she had become a grandmother...Sona's nails dug deep into his fist as he closed his eyes to feel the pain she was going through...finally after 1 hour of torment Sona had successfully delivered their baby girl...something they had wished for all their life...Dev couldn't help but cuddle her face and place a longing kiss on her forehead as she had sailed through this successfully...he was falling short of words to thank her as he felt a kiss would convey his feelings to Sona...the doctor advised him to wait outside while the wash the baby and shift Sona to the ward.

As soon as he came out, Asha and Bijoy ran upto him to find out the latest details ...he very proudly informed them that he and Sona had become proud parents to a cute little baby girl...Asha hugged him as he felt her sobbing quietly...he knew this was also because her daughter had become a mother, but there was something else as well which was bothering her...on insisting she finally divulged the details..."Dev beta jab tum andar the tab tumhare phone par Riya ka call aya tha...usne bataya ki Ishwari jii ab nahi rahi...bohot dino se unki tabiyat kharab rehti thi...unhone kisi bhi dawai ko respond karna band kar diya tha...aur jab doctors ne saari umeed chod di thi tab kuch samay pehle unhone apna dum tod diya...woh apne aakhri waqt mein tumhe bohot yaad kar rahi thi beta...tumhe jaana chahiye...aakhir tum unke bete ho ...unki chita ko agni doge to unki aatma ko shanti milegi...unhone job hi kiya ho par yeh baat mat bhoolna ki woh tumari maa hai...unse unka aakhri haq mat cheeno beta...chale jaao"...Dev collapsed on the floor as Asha and Bijoy tried to console him...here he had planned to pardon his mom and call her up to inform her about the latest addition in their family...he had just witnessed the birth of a new life a while ago ...and now he was being told that he had lost his only surviving parent...he sobbed inconsolably as he clung on to Asha for support...Ansh who couldn't decipher why his father was shedding tears quickly got down from the bench and ran to his father...he held on to his dad as Dev was feeling ever so guilty of not being by his ailing mother as she was breathing her last.

Dev settled his head in Sona's lap as the nurse left after handing over the baby to Sona...Sona caressed his hair with one hand as her child sucked onto her for her first meal..."apne aapko dosh dena band kijiye Dev...jo hua humare haath mein nahin tha use rokna...aapne poori koshish ki sabkuch jode rakhne ki ...sabko apne saath banaye rakhne ki...par aap bhi haalat kea age majboor the...aur aapko aisa kyun lagta hai ki maa hum sabse dur chali gayi hai...unhone bass apna roop badla hai...woh humesha se khud ko aapke saath dekhna chahti thi na...dekhiye woh yahi hai aapke saath...bass pehle unhone aapka khayaal rakha ab aapko unka rakhna hai"...Dev tried to make sense of what Sona was telling him as she looked on to her daughter who was sucking onto her breast with all her might to get her stomach filled...Dev looked onto Sona as he couldn't imagine how easily she had forgiven his mother who had always created problems for her and had not given up on a single chance to put her down...how lucky he was to have a life partner like Sona..."Ishaani naam kaisa rahega iskeliye...aapke maa ke naam ke pehle kuch akshar bhi rahenge aur humare pyaar ki nishani bhi kehlayegi...Dev aap agli flight se India ho ayiye...apni maa ko mukti de dijiye...jab tak aap unhe maaf nahin karenge tab tak woh apne iss naye roop ko apna nahi payengi...dil se unhe maaf kar dijiye Dev...sab theek ho jayega"...Sona cupped his face with one hand as she held her daughter in another...Dev just threw himself into Sona's embrace as this was what he needed the most at the moment.

He flew down to India to complete his mother's last rights...he signed a few papers to give each of his sibling their share of property as that was what his mother had always wished...after fulfilling all his duties back home, he boarded the flight back to US to get back to his family...Sona's words were ringing in his ears...she had claimed his mother's possessiveness and need to be with him had forced her to be reborn as his own daughter...he wondered if this could actually be possible...well why couldn't it be...after all he had lived in disguise for all these years of his life...she was his mother afterall...this could very well be her form of INTENDED DISGUISE.
