Chapter 4:
Arjun had made sure that under no circumstances Sakshi gets off the bed before two months. Though handling her was tough and seeing her morning sickness was heartbreaking. The thing Arjun wasn't prepared of were the mood swings.
Arjun knew girls had mood swings but Sakshi had them past the level. When she was angry, she was yelling on top of her voice. When she would cry, she would cry as if someone hit her, when she would be happy, Arjun had to make sure she didn't bump into anything and fall.
Rathore being a gentlemen let Arjun stay home and operate from home. He would video chat the team about the case. Rathore knew that leaving a pregnant Sakshi home alone with ulcers is the worst idea anyone can have.
Arjun was sitting in the living room working on some report, when he heard a scream. He jumped and sprinted towards the room and saw Sakshi clutching her stomach. Dammit the ulcers Arjun thought and started looking around for the medicine.
Sakshi kept on screaming. Arjun was quickly looking all around when he finally found the medicine under the bed. He made Sakshi have it. After some time the pain was gone and Sakshi felt okay.
"What the hell was your medicine doing under the bed?!?" asked Arjun furiously.
"I-" Sakshi was cut off by Arjun.
"Do you have any idea how dangerous these ulcers are?!? If your wound starts to bleed again or the acid makes another one you can die!" Arjun was really angry.
Sakshi saw Arjun leaving the room in anger. She just lay down and tears started falling from her eyes. She tried sleeping but sleep was miles away. She heard Arjun coming. She closed her eyes and prayed Arjun doesn't see the tear tracks.
After some time when she heard nothing, assuming Arjun was gone, Sakshi opened her eyes only to be lifted in his arms.
"Sorry." Arjun said looking at Sakshi. "I shouldn't have burst out like that. I should've let you justify yourself."
"It's okay." Sakshi said smiling. "Waise galti meri thi. Jab pain shuru hua. Mein ne imediately medicine nahi li. When it increased I reached for it but it fell off the table."
"Tum ne imediately kyun nahi li?" Arjun asked.
"I was reading "the Godfather"." replied Sakshi.
"What will I ever do with you?" asked Arjun.
"Watch a movie." replied Sakshi grinning.
"What?" replied Arjun. "No."
"Please. Pretty please. Pretty please with a cherry on the top." Sakshi pleaded.
"What? Cherry? ummm.. Okay." replied Arjun.
***************
Both of them were sitting and watching. Arjun had his hand on her stomach while Sakshi had her head on his shoulder.
"Which one?" Arjun asked.
"Khiladi 786." replied Sakshi. Arjun actually thought the pevious movie was better than this. Who names their kids in number? Arjun thought.
Sakshi laughed at the part where the dude couldn't get free from jail but Arjun on the other thought it was plain stupid. He was surprised seeing the family of an African bebe, Canadian mom, Chinese chachi. Sakshi just laughed.
Sakshi nearly danced while singing Balma.
"Who goes to a disco on a truck?" Arjun asked astonished. Sakshi payed no attention.
"How is that even possible." asked Arjun after looking at the scene where he breaks the whole wall by one punch.
"...Ek kharosh ke badley kitna pitey ka baiyan..." Sakshi sang. Arjun just wanted to hit his head against the wall. Arjun just looked in horror at the screen when they found their brother. He seriously has to change the movies taste his wife has.
"Wasn't it good." asked Sakshi after the film ended.
"Good? Even Rajni Express was better than this." Arjun looked at her.
"Rajni? Oh you mean Chennai Express." Sakshi laughed.
"Can we discuss something else?" asked Arjun.
"Sure." replied Sakshi. "What do you want boy or girl?"
"Boy and then a girl." Arjun said.
"Why?" asked Sakshi.
"I want our son to always protect his sister." Arjun replied smiling.
"Awww." replied Sakshi and pulled his cheek.
"Stop." Arjun replied rubbing his cheek.
"Why?" said Sakshi and pulled both his cheeks.
"Sakshiii." Arjun said. "Stop."
"Okay." said Sakshi and put her head on his chest and before he knew it she fell asleep in his arms. Arjun smiled and put her down and slept next to her with his hand on her stomach securely.
