Part 56:

Nurse: Birth Certificate mein Naam Kya likhna hai?

Both angad and Kripa looked at each other, smiled, and said "Prateek" in unison.

Aliyah: SMILE!

Aliyah had already snapped a picture when they were smiling each other.  Aliyah rushed to Prateek and demanded to hold him.  Kripa carefully handed him to her.

Angad: tum yahan par kya kar rahi ho??

Aliyah: Aapko kya laga tha?....Aliyah aise hi chali jayegi??  Are baba mein apne nephew se mile bina kaise jaati??  Mere aur iss janab ke do d rishte jo hai....

Josh: I am still wondering how Prateek will adress us...Will he call me Mama or Fufa??

Aliyah: Meine to soch liya hai.....Prateek mujhe bua-mami bulayega.....dono ek saath bol dega to confusion nahi hoga na??

Josh: What about me??

Aliyah: lets see....mama aur fufa.........hm.......mamafufa...nah..sounds so gay......um....fufamama.......nah.....thts even worse...(Kripa rolled her eyes)...I GOT IT!!....he will call you Fuma.....

Aliyah started laughing at her own joke!

Josh: was that supposed to be a joke?  Because it was a really bad one.....chalo....prateek ko mujhe do....maama ki baari bhi hai...

Aliyah: not yet.....abhi Prateek ka analysis baaki hai......and that is my job.  Lets start from the hair...kripa...his hair is like yours.....brown and straight....other than that...he is a duplicate of Angad....the same eyes, same nose, same ears...he is pretty Big too for a new born...well...(looked at Angad from head to toe)....ek Lambe Chaude baap ka beta jo hai.......Kripa...you better take care of your son eh??  Ladkiyon ki buri nazar se bacha kar rakhna isse.....

Kripa: Sabse pehle usse tumhari nazar lag jayegi....

Josh: yaar...yeh auratein bhi na...hamesha yeh nazar vazar ka chakkar le kar baith jaati hai.....chalo aliyah...analysis pura hua...now give him to me!

Josh took Prateek from Aliyah hand and awed. There was no doubt he looked exactly like angad and was extremely cute.  Josh couldnt supress the urge and gently pinched Prateek's cheek.  Josh's so called gentle pinch burst prateek into a loud sob.

Kripa & Aliyah: JOSH!!!!!!!

Kripa: lao yahan.....kaise mama ho...abhi se mere bete ko rula diya.....

Angad: Josh...give him to me.....dekhna..papa ke haath mein aate hi bilkul chup ho jayega...

As soon as angad took Prateek and rocked him gently, he stopped crying.

Aliyah: My god josh!  You wont be holding our baby until he is 2!!  I am not letting you touch him....your so cruel....dont you know how to treat babies??  Bhai!!  Isse kuch daddying lessons de dena please......

Josh: What??  his cheeks are so chubby...i coulnt help it....and I did it gently............Angad se lessons lene ki koi jarurat nahi hai mujhe!

Angad: Josh ko to lessons baad mein de dunga Pehle tumhe to lessons de doon......

Aliyah(whining): Meine kya kiya??

Angad: Kya kiya??  Aliyah...tum ghar jaane waali thi na?  sis..try and understand....you need rest..just by looking at you i can tell you are worn out.  You havent eaten anything for almost three days now...and you've stressed yourselves enough....so go home and rest...waise bhi Kripa ko ek-do din mei discharge mil jayega na.....tab apni saheli ke saath dher saari baat kar lena....theek hai?

Aliyah: oh....to aise bolo na....aapko Kripa ke saath kuch waqt chahiye...kya bhai....aise hi bata diya hota na......to jaate jaate door par "Do not disturb"  sign bhi laga kar jaate...

Aliyah and Josh soon left because now even Josh was pressuring aliyah to go home.  Angad put prateek in his little crib so that he could sleep properly.  Angad settled beside Kripa on the bed and snuggled her.

Kripa: kya baat hai....aaj janaab kuch jyada hi chup chup hai....

Angad: samajh mein nahi aa raha kya bolu...

Kripa: kya tumhe prateek ko le kar kushi nahi hui??

Angad: are you mad?  Of course i am happy...i am on cloud nine right now..anyways...i can't wait to get back home!

Kripa: trust me...im more eager to get back home....it feels like i havent been there forever!

Angad: hm...chalo...ab so jao....You look tired!

Kripa: I AM TIRED!!!!  but I dont want to sleep...I want to sit here with you by my side and talk all night.

Angad: Kripa...even I do sweetheart but you need rest na?..aur tumhe aaj raat jo neend milegi ussi se tumhe kuch din kaam chalana padega....

Kripa: Kyun??

Angad: Because Prateek is not going to let you sleep properly...he will need nursing at any time during the night...aur phir...Main bhi to hoon na?

Kripa(innocently): Kya matlab??

Angad: are baba....tum itni confused kyun ho??  Dekho...mujhe company dene ke liye tum ho aur tumhare liye main....Prateek ko bhi company dene ke liye ek behen chahiye na?

Kripa's eyes widened as her cheeks flushed.  Angad laughed and hugged her closer running his hand up and down her arm as if relaxing her to put her to sleep.

Angad:  Kripa...ab aage ka kya socha hai?

Kripa: what do you mean?

Angad: well..tumhari studies bhi adhoori reh gayi na...Pehle to unexpectedly hamari shaadi ho gayi...phir mama papa ki death, tumari pehli pregnancy, the miscariage...everythig happened so quickly after one another aur iss sab mein sochne ka mauka hi nahi mila ki tumhari padhai ka kya hoga...

Kripa: Angad...sach bolu to iss waqt mere dimaag mein education ki baat bilkul nahi hai...iss waqt mere liye sabse important hamara baccha, tum aur hamara parivaar hai...Prateek ko meri jarurat hai....main usse akela chod kar apne sapno ke peeche kaise bhaag sakti hoon?  Jab woh bada ho jayega tab kuch sochenge....lekin mujhe lagta hai ki jab tak prateek bada ho jayega...mein tumhari princess ke peeche busy ho jaungi....aur ab padh kar karungi bhi kya?  Ab job karne ka to sawaal ki paida nahi hota....Prateek agar bada ho bhi gaya tab bhi mein hamare ghar ki responsibility lena chahti hoon...ab iss umar mein mom ko sirf araam karna chahiye....

Angad: But kripa...I want to see you fulfill your dreams...I want you to be something big...

Kripa: accha baba....Mein dad se baat kar lungi...Maine part-time accounting ka course kiya tha...shayad dad ki company mein koi position mil jaaye.....lekin iss waqt mujhe apne career ke baare mein nahi sochna....

Angad: tumhari har baat sir aankhon par!

Angad gently kissed Kripa's forehead and parted when heard Prateek crying again.  This time Kripa hurried towards Prateek's crib.

Kripa: aww....kya hua baby ko??  Baby ko bhi kiss chahiye??  (picked prateek out of the crib and layed him in her arms kissing his cheeks).

Angad watched with bliss and affection as Kripa rocked and talked to Prateek stealing the sobs away from him.  Kripa's gasp brought Angad out of his thoughts.

Angad: What happened??

Kripa: Angad!!!  Prateek--

A Cliffhanger!!!!  Ok...I know...today's part was super short and nothing really happened.....but that is the best i can do today guys!!  Sorry!  Hope I didnt disappoint you that much!
