Chapter 30

CHAPTER 19

I looked at my hands sweating, as I waited in Doctor's cabin while she is examining Taani. Taani is inside for more than 20 minutes and every minute is like an eternity for me. Yesterday, Taani entered in the sixth month of her pregnancy, and as decided earlier, we both came to doctor for her routine checkup and we both voiced our concern about the lack of movement of our babies.

Doctor said it's normal as Taani's body can't provide both of them enough nutrition and she gave us more instructions regarding Taani's diet and her medicine and now she is examining Taani and I am nervously waiting outside for her. I couldn't help but feel worried about Taani and our babies health. I couldn't bring myself thinking about anything happening to either of them. All three of them now have a huge part of my heart and thinking about living without them was not something I can handle.

I got up abruptly as I saw doctor and Taani coming out from the examination cubicle and moving forward I held Taani securely in my arms and helped her sit down .

Doctor:" There is nothing to worry about ,Mr.Singhania . The babies are perfectly fine. Under nourished ,but fine. "

The doctor said looking at my worried daddy expression. Taani gave me a 'told you' look as she was sure the babies are fine. She being the mother can tell about well- being of kids, that's what she said. But I couldn't trust her 'I am the mother I know everything ' theory unless and until doctor confirmed the same.

Rey:" And Taani?"

I said pushing the ghostly feeling of something happening to Taani away.

Doctor:" She is fine as well, Mr. Singhania . She is weak obviously, but nothing we cannot manage. Proper medicines and diet is what she needs and I see she is healthier than the last time. She is doing great and you as well"

She said smiling and Taani shied happily.

I knew what she meant by Taani being healthier and happier. From the time we came back from her mother's house she is just on cloud nine. She was happy that her mother was being treated well and in no time she will be perfectly fine and she couldn't be happier . She was eating well, exceptionally well. All the healthy food that I tortured her with along with her unhealthy junk food. I was fine with it as long as she is happy and healthy. On the other hand she was exceptionally happy due to the fact that I stayed at her place with her family, in her world.

For the first time I got myself involved in her world and she was just over the cloud since that night. She was treating me so nicely since then, but I couldn't hope much. My wife's pregnancy hormones were not to be trusted. She can be extremely happy at one moment and cranky the other. So I was not hoping much .

Taani:" I don't want to go home "

I looked at her as she screamed suddenly. From doctor's clinic to here she was sitting silently looking outside the window .

Rey:" And why is that?"

I said as I stopped the car at the corner of road.

Taani:" I get bored there since Sharon and Yashu left. I have nothing to do whole day. You are always busy with your work."

Rey:" So, You are saying that Me and Maa are boring and you do not appreciate our company "

I said with tongue in cheek and teased her. She looked at me as her eyes went wide but then glared as she realized that I was teasing her.

Taani:" Yes, You are boring and I don't wish to disturb Maa. So, Take me anywhere but home "

She said stubbornly and sat there folding her arms under her bosom.

I wanted to laugh out loud as I saw my wife's comical expression as I stopped the car near her favourite park. I knew how much she loved spending her time here and the fresh air here would lighten her mood as well. Her pregnancy mood swings are going to be death of me one day. I really-really need to keep her happy , and obliging to her demands is the only option I have.

Taani:"Rey, You are the best"

She said as I helped her get down from the car.

Rey:"I know"

I said smiling and taking her hand , helped her move inside the park. I helped her settle down on grass , below a tree near the beautiful river flowing through middle of the park.

I got her juice and her book to read and busied myself with some mails in my phone which needed my attention.

I kept on glancing beside me after every 10 seconds. I was reading this amazing book , by my favourite author. The book was very interesting but I don't know why ,I found my husband more interesting. But my husband was unaware of the effect he was having on me.

He as always was busy romancing that phone of his. I wish I could break it into tiny pieces and feed them to the ducks strolling in the river in front of me .

This is my favourite place and I loved coming here and sitting for hours. The calm water of river always calmed my senses as well. But today it was having the opposite effect on me.

I looked at him again as he was busy reading some very important shit over his phone. He was sitting taking support of the tree behind him, his long legs stretched in front . His face was shining under the sun, his beautiful chocolate eyes illuminating under the sunshine, looking like beautiful stars. His forehead was marred with worry lines as he read something over phone, which he definitely didn't liked. His long nose was as always held high into the air, giving the impression of his arrogant personality, which I secretly loved. Then his jaw was an another case. That perfect jaw to die for. How I wished I could kiss that perfect jaw of his. Then came his lips. They were getting dry under the heat of sun. But still looking as soft as ever. How I wish I could kiss him at this moment. I so badly wanted to savour those perfect lips of his.

I was sitting so close to him, yet so far. How I wished we didn't have this stupid fight going on and I could kiss my husband anytime I wanted. Oh, the things I would do to him.

I chided myself mentally for having these sinful thoughts for my husband, these pregnancy hormones will be death of me one day.

But how could I help myself, I always found my husband delectable , and now my pregnancy hormones acted as fuel to my desire for my husband.

I wish I could tell him that how much I wanted to ...

Taani:"Can I kiss you, Please? "

Please? ! Please?! Kill me Krishna Ji

I smacked myself mentally as those words left my mouth involuntarily .

I was having hard time controlling myself as I was reading the mails over my phone, but my silly wife was busy gawking at me. She was pretending to read her book, but after every 5 seconds she was checking me out. Her innocent gaze, lingering over me was really doing things to me, which I wanted to avoid for right now at least. It was already very hard for me to live in the same room as her and control myself. Just looking at her in those skimpy night gowns was enough to land me into bath for very long cold showers. And it's not that she looked less desirable during day time to me, she dresses to kill now days, She always ignited this passion into me, but now days her pregnancy glow and her bulged out stomach , was doing another thing to me. And I should not go to the way her body has enhanced with her pregnancy. How do men found their wives less desirable during pregnancy ?I totally disagree with them on this account. She was anything but boring.

I just desired her much more now, if it's possible. And I know she totally reciprocated my feelings. I can feel it in her gaze. The way she looks at me now days. And her sleep talking isn't helping either. I have heard her many times, calling me in her sleep. It made me feel things which I didn't even knew were possible. And the way she is looking at me right now, I wish I could just grab her and kiss those delectable lips. I wish we didn't have this contract thing between us and I could be with her like any other normal couple.

I have read a lot of pregnancy books now days and I know that during pregnancy the feelings of women heightens . They feel everything more than normal person. Be it their mood swings, food cravings, sadness , happiness, crankiness or their craving for physical intimacy. And I knew Taani desired me a lot. And adding her pregnancy hormones to it, I knew she was having hard time staying away from me and I wish I could fulfil her every craving, be it for food, or for me.

Taani:"Can I kiss you, Please?"

These thoughts were going through my mind when I heard her uttering those words. Did I fell asleep and dream about those words. No, I am wide awake. She did really said those words.

But Please? Please?!

Oh ,darling you don't have to ask. I am all yours. I am at your service whole life.

I looked from my phone towards her. She was sitting like a deer caught under headlights.

Taani:"Haaa..Haahaha this story is so funny. The guy and girl, they are kissing. I mean romantic. This is very romantic. It is a very nice book. You should read it. It is amazing"

She said laughing and biting her lip to cover up her not so innocent thoughts regarding me. Oh, I am loving this Taani.

Rey:"Oh, Let me see if this book is worth reading. After all you are praising it a lot "

I said trying to take that book from her hand. But she hid it behind her back not allowing me to get a hold of it.

Rey:"Let me see"

I said getting on my knees to get a hold of it.

Taani:"No, wait. Umm.. I am reading it right now. Let me finish it, then you can read it"

She said closing it and keeping it in her bag hurriedly. I wanted to laugh out loud at her condition. I have no idea what pleasure I get in teasing in my wife. But I just love it.

Taani:" I am starving. I want to go home"

She said trying to get up from the ground. I helped her get up and taking her bag, helped her to the car.
