"Hello? Vikrant ka accident ho gaya hai..."
The words hit Aditi's ears like thunder, she grabed a nearby chair and sinked into it. Aditi stared at the device in her hands that had delivered the news, it blinks 4.30am. Nikhil had called her to inform her about vikrant's accident. He hadn't told her anything much about it, he had just asked her to come to Mumbai at once. May be Aditi wasn't sure how she should react to her new development and that's why she left Mumbai in the first place but she was sure of one thing, she loved vikrant more than anything and right now that's where she wanted to be. She checked the online sites and booked next flight ticket to Mumbai. Her flight was leaving in 2 hrs, so she got up and packed her a small bag of essentials. Her father was sleeping in his bedroom, she didn't want to wake the poor man and cause any trouble. She left him a message and left the house.
Aditi reached the airport in time and boarded the plane, she tried calling Nikhil again but it had gone straight to the voicemail. There was nothing she could do for next 3 hrs but worry about vikrant. Exhaustion was catching up to her (hmm she was getting exhausted quickly these days). Aditi secured the seatbelt and closed her eyes.

February 14, 2018
The sun was entering the bedroom through the window blinds. Aditi opened her eyes to the warm sunlight hitting her face. She was greeted by another pair staring back at her longingly. She smiled at them and they smiled back.
"Hey" vikrant rasped.
"Hi" Aditi quipped.
"Happy anniversary Mrs. Singhal." And vikrant dropped his head to nuzzle at Aditi's neck. He started leaving a trail of kisses down her body. He then started unbuttoning the shirt she was wearing, "his, suits her better", he smirked at himself and continued his sweet torture. Aditi's hands were curled into the sheet, when she felt vikrant reach far down, she pulled him back up for a searing kiss. She rolled him on his back in the process and now she was on top straddling him.
"Happy anniversary to you too, Mr. Singhal. Aaj firse hume late karane ka irada Hai Kya apka?" Aditi mocked, not that she minded it anyways.
A devilish thought came to vikrants mind and he replied with a grin,
"Nahi, aaj humari chhutti hai. Meine pehle hi sab ko bata diya Hai ki hum dinbhar bedroom se bahar hi nahi nikalnewale."
Aditi was now staring at him incredulously; her jaws almost hit his chest. The site was so hilarious that vikrant couldn't control himself and burst out laughing. Aditi realized what he had done and folded her hands in front of herself in mock anger "two can play this game" she thought to herself.
"Vikrant! Aisa kyu karte ho yaar?? Pata hai tum ye sab bolte ho aur fir agle din log mujhe kitne funny look dete Hai? Jao mei tumse baat nahi karti!".
Vikrant knew she wasn't serious, after all she was still sitting on top of him. So he started tickling her sides,
"Ab bhi nahi?" Aditi started laughing and he joined in. Vikrant rolled her around so that he was on the top again. Their eyes had darkened with desire, they both met each other halfway for another passionate kiss and one thing lead to another.
The next time when aditi woke up, it was almost noon. She looked besides her and saw vikrant sleeping on his stomach with his right hand snaked around her. He looked cute with his mouth slightly open. Aditi smiled at him and got out of the bed. All that activity *ahem* had actually made her hungry. She picked vikrants shirt from the ground and put it on and went into the kitchen. She decided to fix them a quick brunch and lost herself in her thoughts,
"Today was her and vikrants first wedding anniversary. She hadn't considered vikrant to be this cheesy to get married on the Valentine's day, but it was his idea. They had build a small world of their own and now they were going to have a new addition to it, she unconsciously rubbed a hand over her almost flat stomach and smiled to herself." Aditi was brought out of her reverie when vikrant hugged her from behind and placed a kiss on her neck.
"She fits perfectly in my arms" he thought to himself as she turned around in his arms and locked her hands around his neck.
"Mera gift kahan hai?" Vikrant asked, pulling her closer.
"Itne aasani se nahi milnewala, thodi mehnat karni padegi" Aditi mocked.
"Are abhi to ki, expectations kafi high ho rahi hai apki ASP madam."
"Mei uski baat nahi Kar rahi! Aditi slapped his bare chest.
"Mei tumhe din bhar clue dungi, tumhe guess karna hoga tumhara gift. Dekhe to sahi ACP saab kitne smart hai." Aditi wiggled her eyes at him in challenge.
"Challenge accepted! Mei yun pata kar lunga gift kya Hai, dekhna tum"
"Haan Haan dekh lenge!"
For the remainder of the day vikrant kept bugging Aditi to tell her what it was, but she didn't give up, she knew it was the best gift he was ever getting and she wanted to torture him more.
Later in the evening, they had planned to go to the Marriott's for dinner. Aditi got ready in an off-shoulder black bodycon dress. It reached just at her mid thighs. Vikrant had got her that, it was cute, shame she wouldn't be fitting in it for long. She sighed and turned around. Vikrant was staring at her quizzically. Aditi almost thought he figured it out, but alas! Men and their thick heads!
Later they had a lovely dinner at the restaurant, Aditi intentionally avoided the champagne the waiter had served but still, vikrant couldn't figure it out. She rolled her eyes at him. When they returned home he started bugging Aditi again to tell him what his gift was. She handed him a small envelope and looked at him hopefully to open it.
"Dhatt! Bas ek greeting card ke liye itna nachaya tumne mujhe? Step up your game ASP Aditi!" Vikrant said while opening the card. When he read the card he did a double check, his eyes where as big as a football now. He looked up at Aditi who was smiling at him.
The card was signed "Happy anniversary Dad!"
Vikrant dropped the card and picked up Aditi and twirled her around,
"Aditi, Aditi, Aditi, kya ye sach hai? Tum nahi janti aaj tumne mujhe kitna khush kar diya hai!", aditi was giggling. His happiness had reflected on her face too.
He put her down and dropped to his knees and placed a light kiss on her belly,
"Hello baby.."
