'Perk Of Being Pregnant'
I was resting on bed, switching the channels on T.V and it was already 9:00 AM in the morning and I was awake from 7:00, and my stock was growling asking to show some mercy on it but the person who could show mercy was busy in kitchen for 2 hours, and I was here with no clue that what was happening in my kitchen. "Swayam, do you need help honey?" I shouted from our bedroom, as I could not control my hunger now. "No baby, I am fine; give me 10 more minutes!" He answered back and I rested my back on bed spot with a thud and sighed with irritation. After few minutes, I stopped at a channel when I was roaming around with them. It was some show in which a lady was instructing some important things for those women who are carrying baby. I glued my eyes to the channel and slowed down the sound so that Swayam can't hear about the discussion, because if he does then I have to sit all the day here hearing his cursing that how careless I am and I should do what the lady was instructing for. I picked a packet of munchies from my side drawer and started with them while hearing the instruction carefully. The lady said that it is the most cherishing time period for any women and one should enjoy this at fullest and should be happy. Yeah, chick just come here and see Swayam, than I will ask you how to enjoy with a husband like him, I thought. Then she continued again. She was telling about some things a pregnant women should always do from the start till end of 9 th month. She said being happy isn't everything what women wants in this period, a women can be happy with heavy shopping and different varieties of pickles but what women needs in the person who's half of the living creature is inside you. Pregnant women need her husband by her side whenever she feels like. It should feel that there is someone who care and love her the way nobody can. He loves me, I know and he cared for me like no one can, I know that too I thought to myself and smiled.
Suddenly the cable disappeared and I was like pulling my hairs because I never like our cable operator and even asked Swayam to get the cable from somewhere else, but he always thought he they shouldn't as the cable operator is a 18 years old college going guy, who works as a cable operator part time and support his family. I loved my Swayu for that and proud too but still.. argh I had no choice because Swayam almost made me go emotional and then I last laughed at me, I still remembered I punch him lightly that day and the area of his left eye was total black. I laughed too but in end Swayam didn't me, slapping him or get angry with me instead he realized how it feels when one laughs on you and he pouted and said sorry to me with single eye sight and I also remember that he made lots of funny excuses when his employees asked for the reason of this bookmark on his face. And and and he once even spitted it out in irritation and bit his tongue, thanks to God it was only Rey as the listener or else he would not have guts to face his employees any more.
I was in my thoughts when I suddenly felt another growling from my poor stomach and I really felt hungry now. I just wanted to go to kitchen and grab something junk and eat to satisfy my stomach but there was a superman in kitchen, rescuing his dear wife from getting sick by eating anything junk or working on herself in her pregnancy. He said I need a healthy breakfast and I was not sure if my fast will be break or not. God knows what was he trying to make in kitchen, I hope not a fruit salad. Oh, no he shouldn't because he don't know how to do cutting properly and when last time he tried, he got a deep cut on his thumb and we end up making love that night when I sucked his thumb, I know how utterly romantic of us. "Swayam that's it I am coming now!" I shouted and before he could answer back, I merged out of our bedroom and went straight into kitchen. "Hey, baby!" He said being nervous. "What?" I asked raising my eyebrows. Nothing, actually I was finding stuff in kitchen." He said and smiled like he has done something very proud to be about. "Do you realize that your wife is pregnant?" I yelled at him knowing the fact he hasn't cooked anything yet and made me wait for more than 1 hour in bedroom. "Sorry, actually I wanted to cook everything on my own!" He said and looked down. I looked at him who has his head falling down and guilt written on his gorgeous face. I don't like it when he fall his head like this and says sorry to me on every very small things only because I always over-reacts. I walked towards him and held his hands in mine. He looked at me and sighed mouthing sorry again and now I felt really bad at shouting at him just because I was hungry even knowing he really wanted to cook for me but he can't doesn't mean that much. "Why you couldn't cook when you very well know how to cook?" I asked him getting a little confused. "Actually, you just renovate this kitchen 1 week ago and know I don't that where the things kept so." He said and smiled shyly. "Gosh, Swayam then why didn't you asked me all this time for help. I was not sick or something!" I said him totally irritated with the fact that this was the reason for which my poor baby and stomach had to wait for long. "I didn't wanted to disturb you baby, I am really sorry." He said and enveloped his arms around me lovingly. "You are such a pain you know that?" I said him giggling, and slapped the back on his back slowly while hugging him back. "I can hear my baby shouting at me from inside!" He said and jerked up from me. "Relax, honey!" I said and laughed at him. "No, give me 10 minutes I will cook something now for sure for you!" He said and started to find some ingredients from drawer which was apparently wrong once. "Don't do this Swayam because we are eating out." I said him only make him look at me with strong glare which has always melted my but today, I guess not because I have 2 person energy in me. Mine and our fairy's energy. "NO! You are not allowed to eat junk!" He said with a sudden shock. "But I am starving and now I don't have enough of energy to cook for myself as I know you will take hell lot of time to cook now in this newly renovated kitchen." I said and saw a disgusted expression on his face.
Before he could say anything, I pull him out before handling him his car keys and his wallet. We decided to go to the small caf near our house. It was the caf which had almost every memory of us when we are college going couple. Everyone on that caf knows us and even there are lots of people who are its daily customer and we share an equal great friendship bond with them too. It's been 2 weeks since we last ate here. He entered in caf holding my hands tightly into his and whistled to a waiter, hearing that all of the waiters looked at him and waved. He waved back and smiled at them. It was kind of his ritual to whistle to waiters or rather our quiet nice friends whenever we came here, even John uncle who owned this caf used to accompany us sometimes if he would be here when we came here. "So, I think now you should really eat something. Wait I will be back in a minute, just checking on something inside the kitchen!" He said and before I could protest, he went off. Gosh, he is so unpredictable. I think it's the time he gets a little predictable because a pregnant women can't handle this much unpredictability. Swayam came in the kitchen as nobody stops him. I never liked him going just like that even if nobody minds his interruption. He always says that uncle John id just like his father as he knows him from past 15 years when he was 10 years old kid and lived in this house with his parents and even I was coming here with him from past 5 years, 3 years of our sweet sweet relationship of being girlfriend and boyfriend than 2 years from our married life. He was checking each and every plate and spoon in the kitchen which is used for cooking or serving, he even checked all the ingredients by himself and asked waiter cum his friend to cook in front of his eyes. A waiter passed that to me in hall area. I asked him where is Swayam so he kindly answered that 'eat and not speak and this is Swayam sir's order'. What the hell was that mean. I ate the fruit salad and in a while there was omelet present on my table in sized in heart shaped. I grinned looking at the omelet and I knew who could do this rather than my cheesy majnu. I ate that too and now I was kind of full but there was no sign of Swayam coming back. I got irritated and walked to the counter and entered in it with a slight hesitation. The waiter who was our friend smiled at me and eyed me towards the kitchen and I got confused. I was not willing to enter in the private kitchen which was only meant for chefs out there but that waiter made me. I entered and walked towards the inner side, it was cold like ice and just like the any restaurant's kitchen we see in Indian movies. All in all it was amazing to see such kitchen in my life, I saw a chef standing there with Swayam next to him but the thing caught my eyes was Swayam was the one who was making coffee for me with extra cream on it and not the chef. Wait, was I seeing things like he wearing a chef's apron and even the hat or was it really true. That chef saw me and turned back without letting know about my presence, he left the kitchen winking at me. I walked and stood next to him with my knees on the slab but might be he thought that the chef has came back after doing something and didn't paid any heed to it. I saw him making a heart on the coffee with crushed coffee beans. "No, I like smiley more." I said while looking at him. He looked at me, smiled and nodded while removing that heart from the coffee with a spoon. Then suddenly with a jerk he turned towards me as now he finally saw me standing next to him. "Shar..Sharon yo..yo..you are he..here?" He asked as he started stumbling. "Ye..ye..yes!" I said and winked at him. In a second I wrapped my arms around him and hugged him tightly while whispered in his ears "For sure a healthy breakfast as you made it". He smiled and kissed my forehead lovingly.
End...
