"Yeh packing ki hai tumne??" Shilpa cocked her eyes at Armaan...
"Haan to??" He asked in the same tone...
"Haan to kya??? Adhi cheezein to giri parr rahi hain... tum humesha aisa karte ho..." Shilpa scolded him and emptied his bag to put things properly...
"Jee nahi!! kyunki packing jesi faaltu cheez mein karta he nahi hun... yeh tumhara kaam hai..." He replied carelessly and walked towards the other side of the bed...
"Ufff!!! tumse behas karna bekaar hai..." Shilpa gritted her teeth...
"Bus rehne do... apni baat se ek inch bhi nahi hatti ho tum.. aur mujhse behes karna bekaar hai???" He mocked at her...
"Tum mujhe taunt kar rahe ho???" Shilpa narrowed her eyes...
"Nah!! Mujhe meri jaan pyaari hai... Aur tumhe bhi apni honi chahiye, isliye khabardaar jo tumne ek bhi dinn apni medicines miss ki, " He warned her about her medicines...
"Acha baba nahi miss karungi... bus??? ab khush??" Shilpa gave up and sat down for a while feeling a little tired...
"Mujhe neend a rahi hai..." She looked at him with tired eyes...
"Achi baat hai!!" He said putting the bags aside and emptied the bed...
"Mein change kar ke ati hoon..." She said and went to take out her night suit...
...
"Uhhh... Mumma!!!!" Armaan heard Shilpa whining... He came out of the bathroom after a nice warm shower and saw her sitting on the bed in her long cotton blue color nighty struggling with her pajama of previous dress...
"Kya hua???" He asked...
"Dekho naa..." She showed him her feet which were swelled up by now and that is why her pajama wasn't coming off...
"Ab yeh kya hai???" He bent down to see...
"Tumhara diya hua tuhfa hai... ab mere pair bhi swell hone lagay hain..." Shilpa pouted...
"Kya???" He narrowed his eyes...
"Aur nahi to kya??? yeh sab pregnancy k effects hain... apni marzi se pairon mein swelling ho jati hai aur apni he marzi se theek bhi hojati hai... ab yeh pajama kese utre gaa???" Shilpa frowned..
"Did i asked you to wear this??? jab pata hai k waqt be waqt swelling hojati hai to kis ne kaha tha churidaar pajama pehnne ko???" He defended himself...
"Abhi mujhe behes nahi karni hai Armaan... isse utarna hai mujhe, ab irritation ho rahi hai.." She was about to cry...
"Acha wait!!!! Rona nahi..." He was tired of these blackmailing tears...
...
"Hawww... yeh kya kiya??? katt diya!!!" Shilpa shouted as he finished cutting the stitching of her pajama...
"So???? isse utarna tha k nahi??? Aur ab mat pehnna koi bhi tight dress..." He warned her with a serious look...
"Mera favourate dress tha ye... Jao mujhe tumse baat nahi karni..." Showing him her anger, she lied down on the bed and turning her side switched off the lights...
"Set hai!! Aise bhi jhelo... aur wese bhi..." He shook his head and keeping the scissor aside, went towards his side of the bed...
"Mom aj bohat khush thi!!! kal Shilpa a rahi hai naa rehne k liye..." Anjali smiled telling Atul about Padma's happiness...
"Yeh to obvious hai yaar... bal k mein to kahunga k Ridzi aur tum bhi rehne k liye chali jao jab tak wo wahan hai... It will be fun!!!" Atul suggested...
"Hmmm Nice idea!! Par tum akele ho jao gay... i can't leave you alone like this..." Anjali pressed her lips together...
"Arre par i am going with Doctor Keerti naa... Sanjivani camp... har saal ki tarah.." Atul reminded her about the camp...
"Oh!!! mein to bhool he gai thi, interns ko le ke jana hai wahan tumhe dr keerti k saath..." Anjali lightly hit her head...
"Wese maza bohat aye gaa... atleast it won't be like last time, jab Shilpa ko Armaan zabardasti chor k gaya tha aur uska mu phoola hua tha... " Anjali laughed remembering that time...
"Wese dekha jaye to wo ek bohat acha couple hai... ek doosre ko complement karta hai... nahi???" Atul smiled remembering the two...
"Yeah!! Lekin abhi time dekho, do baj rahe hain... aur kal subha subha hum donwo ki duty hai..." Anjali made him look at the watch...
"Hmmm... bohat deir hogai aj..." Atul took a deep breath and closed the lights...
...
"Shilpa!!! Aj uthna nahi hai kya???" He tried to wake her up again... it was 12 pm now and she was still sleeping cuddled up in her blanket...
"Mujhe sardi lag rahi hai... i don't wana come out..." She replied lazily...
"Take a warm shower, sab laziness bhaag jaye gii tumhari... ab chalo utho jaldi se.." He said pulling away the blanket from her...
"Armaan!!!" She whined...
"Arre utho naa... ja k nahao aur chal k naashta karo... its not good k tum itni deir tak bina kuch khae piye raho iss halat mein..." He carried her in his arms and then made her stand on her own inside the bathroom...
"Now please do the honour of taking a bath aur phir jaldi se ready ho jao..." He smiled kissing he cheek and then closing the door behind went into the kitchen to look for something in breakfast...
...
"Tumhe aur kuch shopping wagera to nahi karni haina??? i mean i'll be back in 2-3 days uske baad zyaada se zyaada ek hafta hoga humare pass yahan..." Armaan started with his calculations...
"Pata nahi... Aj mera kisi cheez ka koi mood nahi hai..." She said looking at her plate...
"Tumhare nakhre kuch zyaada nahi barh gaye hain??? chup chaap se yeh khao..." He scolded her for playing with her breakfast and not eating it...
"Mera bilkul mann nahi hai... Aur mujhe kahin jana bhi nahi hai... i feel like bus soti rahun..." Shilpa made him hit his head against his palm...
"Yaar tum aisi harkatein karo gii to mein kis tarah jaoonga???? tumhe aise to chorne se raha, pata chala in teen dinow mein tumne nai nai afaton ko dawat de di..." He actually got worried with her lazy mood and carelessness...
"What do you mean afaton ko dawat de di???" Shilpa pouted...
"Dekho Biwi!!! you can make me dance on your fingers not everyone... Aur mein ja raha hun to isske bajaye k tum mujhe tension free kar ke bhejo tum tension de ke bhej rahi ho... And yeah! tum khud ek child specialist ho, aur tumhe pata hai k iss halat mein tum khali pait, bagair apni medicines liye nahi reh sakti... Tumhe pata hai tumhari kya condition hai aur kya complications ho sakti hai... still you are acting like this..." He scolded her... There he has to leave in few hours and here she is making him worried by her actions...
"Mujhe neend a rahi hai..." She was still stuck on wish to sleep...
"Fine!! So jao..." He gave up thinking may be she will act normal after sometime...
...
"Dad!! its not funny ok..." Armaan frowned while talking on phone with Billy...
"It is funny my dear!!!! Dekh, tu maan le k tera bohat bura waqt shuru hogaya hai... Ab tu Shanky k saath ja raha hai to full protection k saath jaiyo..." Billy laughed on the phone...
"Dad!!! Mujhe app se baat he nahi karni..." Armaan put down the phone with a pout... "Ajeeb mazak banaya hua hai mera... lekin Dr Shashank k saath teen din!!! wo bhi akele..." He made a face which immediately curved into a smile as he felt his lady love hugging him from behind...
"Neend poori hogai??" He turned around and she hide herself in his chest...
"Hmmm..." She took a deep breath tightly hugging her and closed her eyes...
"Uss waqt waqai bohat neend a rahi thi... Par ab theek hun..." Shilpa sounded chirpy this time which gave Armaan a sense of relaxation...
"Kuch khaya???" He asked...
"Nahi!! Maa k yahan kha loon gii... Tumhe deir bhi to ho rahi hainaa??" She looked at the clock...
"Haan wo to ho rahi hai, lekin tumhe aise chor k kese jaoon??? Tum subha se ab tak bohat zyaada dara chuki ho mujhe..." He said wrapping his arms around her...
"Don't worry!!! I'll be fine..." She tried to assure him... "Aur wese bhi... mein sach mein maa k saath kuch time spend karna chahti hun...pata nahi phir kab mujhe yeh mauqa mile... dobara miley bhi ya nahi..." She said the last line almost like a whisper but he heard that...
"Kyun nahi milega??? Ab koi reason hai unse door rehne ka??? " He broke the hug and cupped her face...
"Haan!!!" She pouted looking at him...
"Kya???" He passed a confused look...
"My workaholic Husband Aur uske patients!!! Jo khatam he nahi hote hain..." She was in a mood to tease him...
"Haan haan mein he jallad hun... tum to saara waqt farigh rehti ho..." He made a cute face which she adored that moment and couldn't stop herself to kiss him on his cheek...
"I'll miss you!!!" She smiled and again hugged him...
...
As per Shilpa's wish, they both did lunch outside and then went to a departmental store for some of her necessary shopping and then went to Gupta House where Shashank was already waiting for them...
Bidding Bye to Padma and Nani, Armaan gave a side hug to Shilpa and once again warned her to take her medicines on time and then then left with Shashank...
"Aur batao... kesi hai meri bachi???" Nani hugged her warmly...
"Abhi kal he to i thi... theek hun!!" Shilpa smiled...
"Chalo acha hai ab kuch din tum yahan ho... humay bhi to janne ka mauqa mile gaa, yeh yeh teesri titli kis disha mein urti hai..." Nani giggled...
"Matlab???" Shilpa passed a confused look...
"Matlab yeh k... Anjali k rang dhung alag hain aur Riddhima k alag... Ab dekhte hain k tumhari adatein kis se milti julti hain..." Padma explained Shilpa with a smile on her face...
"Mom!!! Kal Sid bhi Simla ja raha hai kisi medical conference k liye... to meine Riddhima ko bola k wo bhi a jaye... lekin wo late night ayegi.." Anjali told Padma about Riddhima while having dinner...
"Aur??? Miss Extra Hygenic!! Everything ok???" Anjali teased Shilpa who looking confused seeing so many dishes in front of her...
"Tum mera mazak ura rahi ho???" Shilpa glared at her...
"To??? Ab dekho naa... mom aur nani ne yeh sab tumhare liye he to banaya hai... Aur tum kuch kha he nahi rahi..." Anjali was leaving no chance of pulling her leg...
"Arre mein itna saara nahi kha sakti!!!" Shilpa made a face which made everyone on the table laugh at ther pouted face...
"Itna kha k rahungi kahan mein??? wese bhi jo mera khane ka mann hai, wo yahan nahi hai!!!" Shilpa scratched her head but then for other's sake she tasted almost everything...
"Arre beta!! Issi umar mein to tum logon ko apni sehat ka zyaada khayal rakhna chahiye... lekin tum ladkiyaan ho k dieting k ilaawa aur kuch soojhta he nahi hai aj kal tum logon ko... Agay ja k nuksaan uthaogi apni in harkaton se..." Nani tried to gave them a piece of mind...
Shilpa was wearing a nice light blue long skirt with a white kurti and a nice stol matching with her skirt around her neck and that was the reason why her two months pregnancy wasn't visible to anyone and she was at peace and she was thanking God that here nobody knew about that or else they will make her eat don't know how much...
...
Shilpa was busy in taking out her stuff from her bag when a photograph fell out of her bag...
"Arre yeh kya hai???" Anjali, who was sitting beside her saw that and picked it up to see... It was a cute photograph of Armaan and Shilpa where they were standing in garden area with shopaw in Shilpa's hands and Armaan was glaring at the two with his hands on his sides...
"How Cute!!" Anjali commented...
"Hehee... I love this picture.!!!" Shilpa too smiled remembering that scene... "Yeh humare garden ka front side hai... Aur yeh jo poora fence haina?? yeh poora strawberry plants se covered hai..." Shilpa pointed at the picture...
"You means all these red beads... these are strawberries???" Anjali gave her a surprised look...
"Yeah!! Yeh Armaan ka shawk hai, totally inspired from Atul!!" Shilpa giggled...
"That is so sweet!!! Par yeh gusse mein kyun dikh raha hai???" Anjali asked...
"Kyunki wo kaam mein busy tha aur mein usse bol kar i thi k mein uske liye strawberry shake banane ja rahi hun par phir mein bahar strawberries lene i aur shopaw k saath lag gai... Adha ghante tak ussne wait kiya aur phir bahar a ke gussa!!!" Shilpa laughed...
"Hahahahahahaha!!! And who clicked the photograph??" Anjali asked while laughing...
"Wo humare neighbors ki beti i hui thi, she loves dogs to bus unke saath khelne kabhi kabhi ajati thi... ussi ne khechi ye.." Shilpa replied while taking out her Night suit...
"I'll go and change..." Saying so Shilpa got up and went inside Bathroom...
"Armaan ne call nahi kiya??? shayad busy hogaya ho..." Shilpa thought for a moment and then changing hreself into some comfortable clothes went out where Riddhima was present now...
"Hi!!!" Riddhima came forward and hugged her...
It was a laughing riot when the three sisters started together... It was about 12 at night when Shilpa's heart started wishing for his presence near her... Since the time she got pregnant he was with her, everyday, every night!!! No hospital routine and nothing... She was used to be with him, her wishes, her tantrums, her anger everything was welcomed by him warmly and now he wasn't there...
Suddenly she felt a urge for some fresh air... she wanted to go out for a walk and here feeling too chilly Anjali and Riddhima can not even imagine to get out of their blankets... Shilpa tried to remain involved in talks with Riddhima and Anjlai but slowly and gradually she was getting irritated... her mood was getting off with each passing second and her laughter soon got replaced with her anger...
"Ek phone nahi kar sakta tha..." Again he was the target...
"Armaan ko miss kar rahi ho??" Riddhima asked who was surprised with this sudden change in Shilpa's behavior...
"Nahi!!!" Shilpa almost shouted angrily and shifting on another bed, closed her eyes to go to sleep...
"Isse kya hua ek dum se??" Anjali raised her shoulders looking at Riddhima...
"I have no idea.." Riddhima was also confused...
"Shilpa!!! Everything ok???" Riddhima asked to which she got no reply in return...
Both Anjali and Riddhima were looking at her with confused eyes when just about 5 minutes later they heard her mobile ringing but Shilpa didn't even moved an inch...
"Huh... I'll pick it!!" Anjali said and picked up her phone as she saw Armaan's name flashing...
"Gussa kar ke so gai tumhari biwi!!!" Anjali laughed at Armaan...
"Tantrum Queen hai!! Wo so he nahi sakti bagair lare..." Armaan laughed...
"Seriously!!! Achi khasi thi abhi... ek dum se pata nahi kya hua, gussa hogai aur phir so gai!!" Anjali told Armaan about Shilpa's weird behavior...
"Gussa hogai ek dum se... kyun???" Armaan raised his eyes...
"Nahi pata naa... kuch bataya bhi nahi.." Anjali said looking at Shilpa...
"Arre tension mat lo... subha tak khud he theek hojaye gii..." Armaan immediately got what Riddhima and Anjali would be feeling like with this sudden reaction of Shilpa...
Early Morning, it was about 5 when Shilpa woke up with her midnight craving...
"Armaan!!!" She moved her hand to wake him up as usual but didn't find him and then open her eyes to see... Soon she recalled about last day and then cursed him under her breath... "Mujhe bhook lagi hai!!" She cried in a low voice... Feeling too chilly she doesn't wana get out of the bed but he wasn't there to help... She missed him recalling last morning when she was not getting out of the bed feeling cold and how he carried her in his arms in the bathroom and asked her to take a nice warm shower...
She lazily moved her hand to find her showel and then covering herself with it tightly, very slowly got out of the bed and saw Riddhima and Anjali sleeping peacefully on the other bed...
"Armaaan!!!" She cried, wishing he will be there to help her or to get her anything she want to eat... "Ab mein kya karun???" Shilpa thought... she was shivering due to cold which increased due to rain...
Gathering up all her courage, she went inside the bathroom... The nice warm water motivated her to not just wash her face but to take a bath aswell which made her feel much more relaxed and energetic... Then changing herself into a nice warm white and blue long frock and then wore a sweater over it...
"Huh!!! Ab bahar jati hun..." She thought and went out only to find the whole house dark... Outside, it was raining heavily with thunder and everyone was fast as sleep as there was no chance of sun for few more hours... "Pati ek hota hai, aur apna hota hai... Aur ghar bhi... Apne ghar mein hoti to kuch na kuch kar leti par yahan... yahan kya karun??? " Shilpa scratched her head.. she was in amood to have something sour in taste... She was still roaming around to see when her eyes fell on pomegranates... "Anar!!" Her eyes sparkled seeing something of her interest and she quickly ran towards the kitchen to get a sharp knife and a bowl and plate...
...
"Biwi!! tum kya kar rahi hogi iss waqt???" Armaan thought as soon as he woke up...
"Call karta hun..." He thought and dialled her number...
"Armaan!!!!" Shilpa felt delighted to see his name flashing...
"Kahan thai tum??? yeh nahi hua k ek phone he karlo... pata hai mein kitna miss kar rahi thi tumhe..." He wasn't expecting this sudden outburst without a hi and hello...
"Break lagao Biwi!! Pehli cheez, meine raat mein phone kiya tha par mujhe pata chala k tum gussa kar ke so chuki ho... By the way gussa kis baat ka tha??" He asked gently...
"Mujhe walk pe jana tha... But i was reluctant to say this... aur unki baatein he nahi khatam ho rahi thi... Then i started missing you aur phir busmujhe gussa agaya..." Shilpa pouted like a small kid...
"To call kar leyna tha mujhe... Anyways... what are you doing now??" He smiled...
"Anar kha rahi hun... kyunki mujhe kuch khatta kahane ka dill chah raha hai... Aur mujhe iss waqt isse katna bilkul acha nahi lag raha hai..." She complained...
"Khair anar cheelna to tumhe kabhi bhi acha nahi lagta... " Armaan laughed...
"VerY fUNNY!!!" Shilpa made a face... "Wese how did you know k mein iss waqt uthi hui hongi???" She asked...
"I know about your mid night cravings really well... aur mujhe yeh bhi pata hai k tum jab bhi uthti mujhe ek na ek call zaroor kharka deti... Aur beech raat uthna tumhara routine ban chuka hai... so, my dear wifey!! i knew k tum iss waqt zaroor uthi hui hogi..." Armaan grinned...
"Yeah yeah!!! " She rolled her eyes...
"Acha listen... don't eat that empty stomach... pehle kuch aur kha leyna.." Armaan warned Shilpa and then they continued to talk for few more minutes after which Armaan ended the call as he need to leave for with Dr Shashank early morning...
...
Her face flunk when she saw that the pomegranate she has cutted was a bad one... "Urghhh!!!" She gritted her teeth as it was only one she found in the basket...
She was glaring at the table with an angry face when Padma came inside the kitchen to get something...
"Arre Shilpa!! Tum yahan kya kar rahi ho??? Wo bhi subha k 6 baje???" Padma asked with a confused face...
"Kuch nahi.." She replied in a low voice...
"Arre... kya hua hai??? aise mu kyun latka ke rakha hua hai???" Padma came near her and found the bad pomegrate in a plate...
"Aur yeh subha subha anar kaun khata hai??? wo bhi khali pait???" Padma glared at her...
"Mujhe nahi pata... Mujhe iska juice peene ka dill chah raha tha par yeh.." Shilpa bit her lower lip looking at the only bad piece of pomegranate there...
"Koi baat nahi, fridge mein aur rakhe hain... Baaki sab k ane aur naashta karne mein abhi time hai... Chalo tab tak mein apne liye chai aur tumhare liye juice niakl deti hun..." Padma smiled at her...
"App juice nikal dein,. mein chai bana deti hun..." Shilpa saw an easy work...
"Hehehehe..." Padma giggled finding her daughter cute...
"Yaani tum apni zindagii mein bohat khush ho..." Padma asked Shilpa...
"Bohat!!! Pata hai, mein humesha sochti thi k meri zindagii mein jo aye gaa... wo kaun hoga?? kesa hoga?? Meri life mein jab se Armaan aya hai, meine kabhi apna koi decision regret nahi kiya!! Usse shaadi k baad se meri life mein sab acha he hua hai... Hum donow ne apne iss rishta ko apna sab kuch diya hai... Shaadi se pehle humari jo bhi life thi, wo ek doosre ka haath thamte he peeche choot gai.. Aur humari yeh jo zindagii hai!!!! Yeh mujhe sab se zyaada unmol hai!!! issi ki wajah se mein Mom se mili, jeh jana k ek maa ka pyaar bhara haath kesa hota hai...Aur phir wo hua, jo meine sapne mein bhi nahi socha tha... Mein app se mili" A tear of happiness rolled down her cheek...
Tears came in Padma's eyes aswell and she hugged her daughter at once...
"Lekin yeh sab Armaan k saath k bina possible nahi tha... Mera gussa mujhe app ke pass kabhi nahi ane deta... mein app ko kabhi samajh bhi nahi paati, agar Armaan ne mujhe nahi samjhaya hota warna... mein to kab ki wapas chali gai hoti..." Shilpa smiled lightly coming out of the hug...
"Aur shayad aj apne uss decision pe pachta bhi rahi hoti... Ek maa ke liye usska bacha kya hai?? Mamta ka ehsaas kya hai, yeh mein aj jaanti hun kyunki mein khud uss dawr se guzur rahi hoon.." Shilpa broke a news to Padma...
"Kya??? Tum... tum pregnant ho???" Padma gave a surprised look to Shilpa which made her realize that she had never told her about that...
"Hmmm..." She said nothing but nodded in a small yes with a light smile on her face...
"To bataya kyun nahi???" Padma immediately hugged her with love...
"Mauqa he nahi mila..." Shilpa tried to cover up...
...
"Hadd hoti hai har cheez ki... aise koi karta hai bhala?? Muqa he nahi mila tumhe itne time se.." Riddhima and Anjali heard Padma shouting over someone while coming down... They saw Nani too Angry, just like Padma shouting at Shilpa and Shilpa sitting down on the sofa with her head in her hands...
"Kya hua mom?? Nani??? Ap log itne gusse mein???" Anjali raised an eyebrow...
"Maa bola naa ghalti hogai... ab please, app choriye naa yeh baat..." Shilpa was looking too annoyed now...
"Arre par hua kya???" This time Riddhima shouted...
"Kuch nahi hua!!! Just that i am pregnant aur yeh baat meine aj batai... bus isiliye mujhe jhar par rahi hai..." Shilpa yelled...
"Wow!!! Congrats!!" Anjali smiled with a surprised look and came forward to hug Shilpa...
"Par yeh to khushi ki baat haina?? Phir app log gussa kyun kar rahe ho??" Riddhima asked after congratulating Shilpa...
"Kyunki jo baat mujhe do maheene pehle pata chalni chahiye thi wo bata rahi hai... Aur mein subha se pareshaan hun k iske pairon mein itni swelling kyun hai, yeh baat baat pe chir kyun rahi hai... " Padma told them the reason of her anger...
"Arre par mein tab nahi bata sakti thi!!!" Shilpa got irritated now..
"Kyun???" Anjali raised an eyebrow...
"Pehle mein itni free thi??? nahi... Phir wo Akaash wala scene hogaya, mujhe yeh bata kar k mein pregnant hun apna bacha khona nahi tha... Ussi sab ka nateeja hai k aj mere saath itni saari complications shuru hogai hain..." Shilpa sjouted in anger and went upstairs...
"Meine nahi bataya, meine yeh nahi kiya, wo nahi kiya... sab meri ghalti hai... huh!!!!! hadd hogai.." Shilpa blabbered in anger... Nobody has ever asked her so many thing like this... she was just not used to answer every single thing like this and especially have never allowed anyone to ask such personal questions from her... After her father, her life circulated around only and only Armaan Mallik...
"Mom app bhi kya peeche lag gai uske?? Trust me uske mood swings bohat khatarnak hain... kal raat hum dekh chuke hain..." Anjali tried to make Padma understand that shilpa is a hard nut...
"Arre yaar!!! yeh shirt press karni paregi ab mujhe khud!!! tch..." Armaan made a face, he was getting late and his things were all messed up here... He was too used to be just finding them on their places thanks to his beloved wife...
"Yeh kamra hai k kabar khana??? complain kya kar raha hun??? meine he banaya hai... abhi Dr Shashank a gaye to band bajj jaye gi..." The need of Wife was clearly visible here😆
"Hello???" He just picked up the phone as he heard its ring without even seeing who is it...
"What hello?? Kya kar rahe ho tum??" Shilpa asked who was sounding to be in a bad mood...
"Ab tumhe kya hogaya???" He asked while cleaning his room...
"Kya hogaya??? poocho kya nahi hua??? Har koi mujh pe cheekh raha hai..." Shilpa shouted...
"Aur tum mujhpe... Araam se batao yaar..." He pulled away the phone from his ear as Shilpa's pitch was too loud..
"Maa gussa kar rahi hain mujhpe k meine unhe pregnancy k baare mein pehle kyun nahi bataya..." Shilpa came on her point...
"To sunn lo naa yaar... wese bhi unhe iss baat pe gussa ana he tha... mujhe pata tha, she just can not explain you about her feelings and same is the case with you..." He answered straight...
"Mein kyun sunn lun??? " She got angry..
"Arre yaar!! ek minute ruko... " He said while keeping his cloths in his bag and then sat down on the bed...
"Haan!!! ab meri baat suno... Mujhe pata hai k tumhe bohat kuch bura lagay gaa because you are not used to such environment... But Bracelet!! You need mold yourself, wese bhi kuch din ki to baat hai, aur phir wo tumhari mom he hainaa??? thoda sa daant bhi diya to kya hogaya??? unhe bhi hura laga hoga naa.." He tried to calm her down... This was a situation where he could do nothing...
"Par meine kabhi kisi ko apni personal life mein baat karne ki ijazat nahi di..." Shilpa complaint...
"Shilpa!!! Tum abhi gusse mein ho isliye kuch samajh nahi pa rahi... just calm down first!!!" Armaan tried to make her relax first...
"Shilpa???" Riddhima came in search for her...
"Acha ek kaam karo... tum thodi deir late ke so jao... aur Riddhima i hai naa... usko phone do.." Armaan thought of a way...
"hMMM..." Taking a deep breath, shilpa gave her phone to Riddhima who got confused for a moment...
"Hello??" Riddhima was hesitant to talk to him...
"Riddhima!! yaar listen to me... Padma aunty ko please bolna k iski baat ka bura nahi manne... she is just not used to answer anyone... usse time lagay gaa cheezein samajhne mein.. aur.. please do me a favour.. please take her to Dr Keerti!! Kyunki wo jis tarah se kal se bahave kar rahi hai... mujhe tension ho rahi hai uski.." Armaan instructed few things to Riddhima...
"Don't worry!! i'll take care of this... " Riddhima smiled at his concern and ended the call...
"Oye Armaan!!!" Sid came with his bag in Armaan's room...
"Tum??? Tum yahan kese???" Armaan was too surprised to see sid there...
"Mein conference k liye aya tha yahan... phir pata chala k mujhe bhi issi rest house mein rehna hai aur Dr Shashank k saath mein room share karne se raha... Bohat darr lagta hai mujhe unse..." Sid threw his bag on the bed...
"Wo adam khor thodi hain jo tumhe uinse darr lagta hai.." Armaan tried to control his laugh...
"Wo to dikh he raha hai... itna bara doctor, Dr Armaan Mallik, jo humesha chill rehta hai... Warna tum yaha hote??" Sid grinned...
"Haan haan pata hai... thode, actually nahi bohat khurus hain... par tujhe pata hai?? sasur ji bohat ache jasus bhi hain!!" Armaan chuckled...
"Shakal se lagta hai... Tum yeh kya kar rahe ho??" Sid asked falling down on the bed...
"Kal surgery hai... bus check kar raha hai k sab theek hain ya nahi..." Armaan answered back with a straight face...
...
Shilpa was acting quite normal after having another session with Padma... By now everyone in Gupta house came to know about her moodswings and the truth that she is just not used to answer any too much personal questions..She is a girl of her words and what she says, she sticks to it...
In the evening Riddhima changed her dress into a yellow color one which triggered Shilpa atonce... How hard it was for make up for her morning session with Padma and now this yellow color...
"Riddhima!! khane k liye ajao..." Padma gave voice to Riddhima... She came and sat beside Shilpa... "No no no!!!" Shilpa, who was trying hard to avoid this was getting almost a torture now...
"Kya hua?? tum kha kyun nahi rahi???" Nani asked Shilpa who have not taken even a single bite of her food...
"Wo... Nani!! Bilkul bhi dill nahi chah raha..." Shilpa some how tried to keep herself calm and then said...
"Arre... subha se tumne juice k ilawa kya liya hai??? chalo chup chaap se khao... aisi halat mein wese bhi apna khayal rakhna chahiye..." Padma scolded her...
"Aisi halat mein bande ko torture bhi nahi dena chahiye..." She blabbered...
"Kya??" Anjali, who heard this asked with popped eyes...
"Wo... mera mann nahi kar raha kuch bhi khane ko..." Shilpa replied very sweetly and then started drinking her juice...
...
"Oye!! Yeh kya hai???" Armaan glared at Sid as he returned back from the washroom and saw all his things messed up on the bed...
"Yaar mein apni yellow shirt dhoond raha hun, mil nahi rahi wo... tere pass to nahi agai??" Sid asked still looking in his bag...
"Meri biwi ko allergy hai aj kal yellow color se... Uss din gusse mein meri saari yellow shirts jala chuki hai wo... Mere pass yellow color ka kuch nahi hai..." Armaan made a face...
"Hain??? jala di???" Sid's eyes popped out...
"Mujhe to bohat mature aur samajhdaar lagi thi Shilpa!!" Sid looked at Armaan with confused eyes...
"Doosrown ke liye... Doosrow ki biwi humesha mature aur samajhdaar lagti hai... lekin apni biwi... bus agay kehne ki zaroorat nahi hai!!" Armaan sealed his lips...
"Actually you are right!!!! Tumhe pata hai?? Riddhima kisi hitler ko bhi maat de de... Wo aur uski mature harkatein... Humesha saara blame mujhpe hota hai..." Sid pouted...
"Tum 24 hours saamne hote ho naa isiliye... Meri wali ko dekh lo... duniya jahan ka saara gussa mujhpe nikale gi.." Armaan laughed at Sid and then picked up his phone which started ringing...
"Oye!! Tumhari biwi pagal hai kya??? i know mood swings hotehain!! but she is acting too too too weird!!!" Anjali shouted on the phone...
"Ab kya hua??? " Armaan slapped his head...
"Yaar!! mujhe seriously batao kya masla hai??? she is not just herself..." Anjali asked gently...
"Dekho... she thinkstoo much before saying anything... basically agar tum kal raat ki baat kar rahi ho to usse walk pe jaane ka mann tha jo wo keh nahi saki tum logon se phir ussi wajah se gussa agaya... again target mein ban gaya aur wo so gai..." Armaan explained...
"Phir... Subha jo tu tu mein mein hui... to wo mein Basket ko pehle he explain kar chuka hun... Agaya kya hua?? mujhe nahi pata.." He said laying down on the bed...
"Yaar... phir sab set hogaya tha... even i understand that, lekin dopahar se, she is been like avoiding everyone...khana bhi theek se nahi kha rahi, problem kya hai???" A stressed Anjali asked...
"Khana nahi kha rahi??? ab yeh kya naya drama hai yaar??? acha mein call karke poochta hun..." Armaan said while scratching his head...
"Koi faida nahi... so chuki hai wo.." Anjali stopped him from calling her...
"Di!!! app ke peeche mera wo yellow wala duppata hai... dena..." Riddhima asked for her dupatta from Anjali...
"Yellow color!!! Ghar mein kisi ne yellow color ka kuch pehna hai??" Armaan asked as something strick his mind...
"Haan... Riddhima ne yellow color ka suit pehna hai.. aur nani ne yellow sarre... kyun??" Anjali passed a confused look...
"Tabhi to... Actually ajkal usse bohat chirr hai iss color se... she just can't tolerate that... meere aur apne, donow k yellow color k jitne kapre thai wo sab wo gusse mein jalla chuki hai... ab soch lo..." Armaan informed Anjali about Yellow color allergy...
"Ufff!!!! i got it!! But yaar, itna complicated pregnancy kyun lag rahi hai mujhe iski??? uske pairon mein bhi aksar swelling hojati hai..." Anjlai got what he said...
"All thanks ro Mr Akaash!" Armaan rolled his eyes...
"Okay!! means mental tormoil... sahi!! got it!!" Anjali now understood everything...
"Bus do din aur yaar... thoda sa sambhal lo... i know its difficult, lekin mein iss mein kuch kar nahi sakta hun... its not in my hands..." Armaan requested...
"Pagal ho kya??? you don't need to request... bus thoda ajeeb lag raha tha... ab wajah tumne bata di hai so we will take care of that!!!" Anjali scolded Armaan...
"Okay then!! Bye!!" Armaan said and ended the call...
"Oye!! Kya chakkar hai???" Sid asked...
"Kuch nahi, just pregnancy harmones!!!" Armaan replied lightly...
"Huh??? Congrats!!! Pehle kyun nahi bataya???" Sid smiled at him... he was really very happy for Armaan...
"Thanks!!!" Armaan smiled lightly... he was a little tensed about Shilpa now...
"Wese yaar! Ab tum janay wale ho... to mein soch raha tha k kyun na kisi farmhouse pe teen chaar din ka trip plan kiya jaye??? I mean it will be fun... Sab ke saath!! what say???" Sid asked Armaan...
"Not a bad idea!!" Picnic ideas sounds great to Armaan...
"Theek hai!!phir mein kuch plan karta hun..." Sid smiled thinking of something...
"Shilpa!!! You ok???" Riddhima ran inside bathroom after Shilpa who just woke up and ran towards the bathroom feeling ill...
"Haan!!!" She took a deep breath, feeling easy after vomitting...
Making her drink some water, Riddhima patted her back lightly...
"Yaar mujhe samajh nahi arah hai kya ho raha hai??" Shilpa took Riddhima's support and rested her head on her shoulder...
It was about Mid Night and everyone was fastasleep... Anjali was chatting with padma late night and slept there with her so it was only Riddhim and Shilpa in the room. Riddhima woke up to drink some water and found shilpa sitting on the bed looking dull...
"Rona bund karo pehle... Aur hota hai yaar!!! Tum betho apne app ko ache se cover kar ke... mein lemonda le k ati hun tumhar liye..." Riddhima tried to calm her down and then went downstairs...
Few monutes later, they both were sitting on the bed discussing few things... "I am sorry yaar!!! yeh pata nahi kal se mujhe kya ho raha hai...kuch zyaada he rude ho rahi hun tum sab se..." Shilpa apologized...
"Tum sirf Armaan ko miss kar rahi ho aur kuch nahi hai!!!" Riddhima smiled at her...
"Matlab???" Shilpa looked at her with confused eyes...
"Matla byeh k usse tum jo chaho, jab chaho demand kar sati ho... usspe gussa karo ya phir jo bhi... u know he is always there for you... Usko kuch bhi kehne se pehle tumhe sochna nahi parta... Ya shayad usse kuch kehne ki zaroorat bhi nahi parti hogi tumhe... Lekin abhi wo nahi hai to tum thodi hesitant ho hum ab se... Basically you are missing him!!!" Riddhima was right this time...
"Hmmm... Shayad tum sahi ho!!!" Shilpa took a deep breath and rested her back on the bedpost...
"Ek baat poochoon???" Shilpa aksed...
"Kya???" Riddhima smiled back at her...
"Did you really moved on????" Shilpa asked straight...
This was something Riddhima never expected... her eyes came out hearing this from her... "Shilpa!!! i did!! " Riddhima some how managed to say looking down on the pillow...
"Phir kya baat hai??? why are you so hesitant to talk to him??? Uska zikar ata hai to tumhari nazrein mere saamne kyun jhuk jati hai??? Mujhe literally samajh nahi ata... Mein chah kar bhi tumse connect nahi kar pati iss wajah se..." Shilpa came on some serious discussion...
"Shilpa please!! Jo jesa hai usse wesa he rehne do... Bus yeh baat yaad rakho k mein sid k saath bohat khush hun... Armaan mera ek acha dost hai aur bus... " Riddhima again avoided the topic and lied down on the bed closing her eyes...
"Its not finished yet!!!" Shilpa thought looking at Riddhima and then closed her eyes...
