Chapter 6
6 months have been passed.
Shravan sleeps before finishing the story. Suman looks at his innocent sleeping face & smiles. She places a kiss on his forehead. Every night he reads story book for their babies. Yes, babies, who're growing up in Suman's womb. The most beautiful feeling ever, being mother of that person's child whom she loved the most in her life. The dizziness or heaviness or anything, she had it all but whenever she sees Shravan's face, tensed yet satisfied thinking about his babies, she feels like the happiest woman of the world. Shravan, who always loved her unconditionally. No complaints nk demands. He never regretted of being with her, even though he misses his family, his dad, his home. He never made her feel because of their marriage, both their families left them.
When the whole world tried to make them realise this marriage is the worst mistake they did ever in life, Shravan never let the world win over their heavenly love. Only for him, their marriage seems the most beautiful thing they ever done in life. Each & everyday after waking up in the morning, she thanks God for everything.
Suman takes the story book from Shravan's hand. Its their favourite comic book for which they used to fight in childhood. She laughs. Shravan reads these book every night, hoping that their babies will read them in future. The lawyer, who never lost any case any argument in the court, who won because of his intelligence & calm nature, its hard to believe he's doing such silly deeds. He slept as he's tired. After working all the day long in the court, he takes care of her everything. He appointed a couple to take care of her when he's at work. After he comes back, the couple leave. Since her pregnancy, he tries to come back to home as early as possible. Suman smiles & switches the light off.
"Sahab ke liye kya bane ga khane mein, mem sahab?", Leela says.
"Sev ki sabji, his favourite. Main banaungi", Suman says.
Leela goes. Suman is about to turn the gas on but stops hearing Pushkar.
"Main kya, namastey bhabi jee", Pushkar says in a sarcastic tone.
Suman laughs. They hug.
"Kya ban raha hai?"
"Sev ki sabji"
"Haan jee! Ab toh sirf bhaiya ke favourites hi banenge"
"Oye dramebaz! Chup kar! Tere favourite halwa bhi banega. Ro mat"
"Oye Sumo tu great hai"
"Woh to hoon"
They both laugh. Suman holds the gas's switch but its jammed. Pushkar smells something & snatches the match box from Suman's hand, throwing it away.
"Sumo, dhyaan kaha hai tera? Can't you smell anything? Ye dekh pipe se gas leak ho raha hai. My God"
They both get scared. She keeps hand on her stomach as if making her babies feel safe.

2 months later.
"I am done", Suman says.
"No Sumo. Finish the soup too.", Shravan says.
Suman sighs & does so. Shravan helps her in standing up. They had came out for dinner & movie. Now its time to go home. She's standing there when Shravan is having a phone conversation. Suddenly she feels something breaking inside her. Ahe screams in pain. Shravan turns back & sees her fallen on floor. He rushes to her & tries to wake her up as she's fainting.
He understood the situation & makes her lay on back seat of the car. He's continuously saying her to stay awake. She's trying but its being difficult. She is trying to stay calm, but the unbearable pain can easily be seen her sweating face. He is nervous, his hands are shivering & he's crying.
Shravan doesn't know how he drove his car to hospital, he can't even think of it now. He's standing in the hospital corridor & crying silently while doctor and nurse are preparing for the delivery.
Suman is taken to operation theater. Suman's doctor comes & says as she's expecting twins, anything can worse can be happened. He gets more scared. Doctor says they'll try their best & goes inside the OT.
Shravan prays to God. He gets Pushkar's phone call. He asks about Suman. Shravan cries & says he's scared. Pushkar says he's coming to the hospital & says him not to worry.
Nurse comes to Shravan & says him to go inside as Suman is taking his names again and again. He should go there to encourage her. Shravan wipes his tears & goes inside.
~~~
Shravan can't remember if he ever seen more beautiful sight than this. The babies are the purest things ever in this whole universe. The nurse gave him the daughter. His son is lying beside his mom. His mom..Sumo! Shravan's Sumo. The girl who loved Shravan from childhood, endless, unconditionally. Her love never left him alone, when his many beloved persons left him. This is the girl who had all pain in his love, yet never complained. She had his anger, his love, his care, his concern. No matter what, her love for him never changed. They woke up every morning seeing each others & smiling. This life is more than a bliss.
Shravan kisses on Suman's sweating face. She smiles slightly. Her smile said it all, how much tired or how much happy she is. She kisses on her son's forehead. Shravan looks at his daughter, places a kiss on her forehead. Pushkar enters & greets Suman. He's jumping like child. Shravan & Suman see & laugh. Pushkar, Shravan's brother, the only person from their family who never left Shravan-Suman. He was always there for them.
Pushkar clicks pictures of Shravan-Suman & their twin.
~~~
"Shravan chhoro mujhe! Kar kya rahe ho! Babies jag jayenge!", Suman says trying to free herself.
Shravan holds her more tight. He rubs his nose against her neck & smells her hair.
"Damn I missed you so much!", he whispers.
"Me too, hubby", finally she doesn't protest his actions.
5 years been passed so quickly. Many things took place within this time, the most importantly, Shravan has started to behave like child. Now Suman has to manage 3 kids- her twins & her hubby, who missed her because she went to her cousin's wedding for few days. The kids, who are more attached to their dad, she couldn't take them along. They stayed at home with their dad, Shravan took 1 week leave for them.
Shravan & Suman close their eyes & about kiss but the siblings duo enters.
"Papa, see he pinched me"
"Mumma, but she pushed me 1st"
Shravan & Suman immediately leave each other & concentrate on their kids.
5 years old Krish & Kriya, the cutest twins come near their mommy & daddy. Shravan's little princess Kriya stands near her dad because she knows whatever happens, her dad will defend her only. Krish stands near his mom, as he knows mom will only take his side & mom always wins.
"Why you two are fighting!?", Suman gets irked.
"Because he/she doesn't let me to read my favourite comic book", both the sister & brother says.
Shravan & Suman look at each other & laugh. They recall how they used to fight over the same matter in childhood. They both try to calm their kids but they end up fighting. The kids then start calm them down. Shravan & Suman argue like their childhood & leave in different directions.
Krish & Kriya get tensed.
At night,
Shravan & Suman come to kid's room to make them sleep. Kids fall asleep, Shravan-Suman kiss their kid's innocent faces & smile. They leave the room & go to their own room. They look at each other's angry face for a moment & laugh. They come near each other. She stands on his feets, encircling her arms around his neck, he holds her by her waist. Their foreheads rest against each other's.
"Baccho ke liye kya kya drame karne parte hai! Unka ladai khatam karne ke liye khudko hi ladne ke acting karne parte hai", she complains yet happy.
"We've the cutest twin ever", he says.
"I swear..", she agrees.
"We make cute baibes together, Isn't it?", he whispers.
"Hmm", she manages to say in between his magical touches.
"Then lets try it again", he says.
She blushes. He takes her to their bed.
