Epliouge
Sharon was sitting in the lawn with Saira in her arms while Swayam was busy with Amaira showing her room. The winds rattled cool-ly letting her hairs flow along the wind. She looked at Saira who was enjoying the cool winds with a sweet smile on her face. Her smile felt her with so many emotions that it made her overwhelm.
"Gosh! Her smile is so adorable" Swayam's voice brought a halt to her adoring session as she looked up to him.
"It's just like yours."Sharon said making him smile wider. He loved hearing things like that. It made him so happy when someone said some feature of Saira was like him. His small pleasures amused Sharon and she loved them.
"I am so glad everything has turned out to be fine now and all the bad times are over." Sharon said keeping her head on Swayam's shoulders. It had been such long ages that they have spent time like this. It all felt new and still so familiar.
"Not more than me." Swayam said casually kissing her hairs but Sharon knew he was right. He had suffered too much and she had taken it upon herself to teach the manipulators a lesson. It wasn't more than two weeks when she would make Piya get out of the whole industry. She had already made Swayam send out to the fake tender file for her to pass on to her lover. Backstabber.The thought made her blood boil with rage so she shaked her head to dismiss the thoughts. Swayam was talking to the baby and she was smiling so much that she knew her father was going to be her favorite all her life. Her vibrant face filled her with happiness and her smile suddenly brought Stephie's face in front of her. She had no idea what all had gone down here. Swayam had given her leave since she was admitted to hospital. But-----
Amaira's squeal putting a break on her thoughts brought her to the real world and she smirked. Swayam looked at her in confusion and she immediately masked her face with concern.
"What's wrong? I think we should go and see."
"What? Well. . . Yeah!" Swayam answered unsure and ran inside while Sharon walked with Saira behind giggling at her.
"Your father is in some serious trouble. It should be fun." She winked at her baby amd giggled some more.
*************
Swayam came inside hurriedly to find what was wrong but found an extremely happy and excited Amaira and a shocked Stephie hugging each other. At the first look at Swayam she jumped at him with anger.
"I am so mad at you Swayam! You didn't even bother to tell me and where the hell is your wife? I don't want to talk to any of you people! I felt like you guys are my family but clearly you just felt of me like an employee!" Swayam was shocked and frightened to say the least because she looked like a tigress who wouldn't mind eating him alive.
"Stephie. . .I. . .
"You better keep your big mouth shut. Where is your wife? Do you not hear me or what?" Stephie roared over his head as he fell on couch like a trapped deer.
He tried to answer but his voice seemed caught up in his throat. So before she hit him for not answering he pointed in Sharon's direction.
Stephie was about to get all charged up at her when she saw her holding something tiny in her arms carefully. All her anger melted at the sight of it and she ran in excitement towards her.
"OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD. Sharon. . ." She looked at her with a big smile and wide eyes and Sharon smiled back at her in happiness.
"It's a girl.We named her Saira." Sharon said with tears in her eyes not letting Stephie cry alone.
"Oh My God! Can I hold her? She is so pretty." Stephie said and Sharon gave the lil piece of joy in her arms.
"Gosh! I can't believe I was taking care of such an adorable creature. I am so happy for you Sharon." Stephie said adoring her with love.
"And me?I am the father. . .You should be happy for me too!"
"Oh you! Shut up and don't even get me started on that. . .If it hadn't been for Sharon who messaged me I wouldnt have even known that you had the baby. It
s the only regret I have. . .I wish Sharon made this baby with some business tycoon. At least he would have cared to inform all his employees about such a big news with some sweets. "
"No sweets yet. . .But dude I am a business tycoon." Swayam said with a pinch of hotness and Stephie murmured something which sounded like "Damn It!"
"Gosh! You people are messing with my lil girl's ears here. Stop it!" Sharon demanded as they gave her the look of surrender.
Stephie turned around to see Amaira standing at the exact place she had left her a while ago and finally decided to get her thoughts around it.
"Where the hell you just disappeared? And how come you are here?" Stephie asked not able to understand what she should be feeling exactly coz she felt happy seeing her best friend again but it was nonetheless a shock too.
Swayam looked at Sharon in surprise at Stephie knowing Amaira.
"They were in the same creative writing course." Sharon answered satisfying half of his curiousity and Swayam knew his other half will have to wait for later.
Amaira didn't really know what to explain. . .She could have explained the answer to her first question but wasn't sure what to answer for the next part. So she just nervously looked at Sharon to make something up.
Sharon looked at Swayam who just looked back at her letting her take the decision if she wanted to tell the truth or not.
"Amaira, well she is my. . .aah. . .She is Saira's aunt." Sharon finished and looked at Amaira whose eyes grew saddened but her lips gave away a small smile.
"What?Wow. So she is your sister?" Stephie asked excitedly making Sharon speechless. She gazed at Amaira and her father's face flashed in her mind, without thinking any more she nodded briefly in a yes and saw her smile lightly, the kind of smile which sparkled her eyes and for the first time she knew she would accept her one day as her sister, loud and clear.
**************
Swayam gazed around the room and felt a weird tingling sensation in his stomach. The room felt too familiar and he felt too strange standing there like it wasn't his room and he shouldn't be there at all. He looked over at the red cot where Saira was sleeping and then at Sharon who was arranging his clothes back in his cupboard. He was finally back in his room, their room, the one where he belonged after torturous eight months. He walked up to the cupboard and stood behind Sharon, who was happily lost in arranging his clothes. He forwarded his hands to hold her waist in his arms but he felt just too unsure of doing it, as if he was her boyfriend and it was the first time he was thinking of touching her.
Sharon was going to pick up his suit to put in back in when her eyes fell on the mirror kept on the right of her and she saw Swayam feeling tensed and his hands going back and forth around her waist in uncertainty. She kept the suit back to where it was and turned around to face him. He backed like he was caught red handed doing a crime.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Wha. ..What?I. . .I was. . ."Swayam stuttered in defence. Sharon wanted to laugh but the base of his uncertainty wasn't laughable. So, she took two steps towards him and taking his hand in hers kept it around her waist. She slowly leaned in and whispered against his ears "Pull me closer!"
Swayam looked at her with surrender in his eyes and did as she asked. He pulled her close in a heartbeat and she encircled her arms around his neck.
"Need a bit of a time to get back into the routine I guess!" Swayam tried to make the moment lighter for himself and Sharon smiled.
"I am sorry for not trusting you and being so mean to you. . . I promise I would never ever distrust you again like the way I did. I have been so horrible to you that I feel it's unbelievable how you cope up with me in all these months especially when you weren't at fault." Sharon confessed feeling guilty and bad for making him suffer.
"Hey. . .Come On! Those pictures weren't really something you could have ignored. But Sharon please please don't do that again to me. You, you are my strength, your love, your trust they make me strong enough to face the world. . .Without you I am so lost, like I can't function without you. And don't ever like not even in eternity say that you would leave me. . .That would mean my end."
"Shut up Swayam! Don't talk like that. . .I would never leave you ever. I am sorry for all the things we had to go through."
"I love you Sharon!"
"I love you too Swayam!"
They hugged and stayed like that for a while listening to each other's heartbeats and feeling at peace, when Sharon nuzzled the crook of his neck making Swayam's heartbeat take up the pace.
He groaned in pleasure of what he hadn't felt in almost a year.
"Sharon. . ."Her name escaped his mouth as his hands worked in her hairs. Sharon pushed him behind pinning him to the wall as she kissed on the side of his neck making him breathless as her other hand ruffled his hairs making him lose his senses. . .Sharon left a trail of kisses on his throat and had just started to suck on it when Swayam got a hold of her arms and pushed her behind leaving her shocked.
"Whoa Lady! Easy, you know?" Swayam said trying to catch his breath.
"Whoa. . .You! You don't come near me at all. You understand that?" Swayam said shaking his head off to wear off the intensity and passion she had left him with.
"What???" Sharon cried out loud and his first reaction was to see over Saira's cot to ensure she hadn't got up from her sleep.
"Good God! Slow down! You are going to wake her up." Swayam said and then warned Sharon as he got his breath back.
"Look! I have been out of this league for fairly an year now. . .And you know I am not very good at keeping patience when it comes to you. . .And right now with all the birthing and the stitches and all the stress you are still very weak and trust me you don't want me to get on you just now. Coz to say the least we may just make another baby here and I am sure we both don't want it just now. So consider me a wolf and don't trust me with you. You get it? Stay Away from me!" Swayam finished and gulped and with a last look at her ran towards the bed.
Sharon stood there shocked as she saw her husband like a little kitten get under the blanket and covering himself from head to toe. She pursued her lips to keep herself from laughing and walked towards the bed when he pulled the duvet off his face and looked at her.
"Just one last thing I wanted to say. . ."
"What?" Sharon said trying to keep herself from smiling and failing miserably.
"You are hell sexy when you start things up." He said and Sharon got inside the bed and kissed him deep capturing his lips as he responded with equal passion. After a long passionate kiss it was Swayam who broke the kiss and with cute adorable face with helplessness written all over it he smiled, shaked his head and said "Sleep Sharon!"
Sharon chuckled and kissed his lips again and settled her head on his chest and closed her eyes feeling peaceful with each other and the love surrounding them.
"Finally everything is just like before!" Sharon mumbled smiling ready to go to sleep when they heard small cries going loud to louder and realized that Saira was crying.
"Okay maybe not everything."Swayam said and they looked at each other and broke into laughter.
Their princess demanded a lot of attention and so our new parents were up for a lot of new things, for now it was a new diaper and a sleepless night for both of them.
