"Par Sumo?" A over saddened Shravan asked sumo over the phone
"Par var kuch nahi Shravan,meine bolaa na ke mein nahi aoongi" Suman answered back
"Ek toh tum poore 1 week pehle jaake udhar baith gayi,How am I going to even survive a day without you?"Shravan asked in his childish tone
"Sirf 1 week pehle hee toh gayi hoon,mere behen ke shaadi hai mujhe to 1 month pehele jaana chaiya tha par voh toh tumhari aur maa ke wajha see 2 weeks later gayi,aab bacho ke tarah crib karna band karo aur phone rakho I have to go,nahin toh I won't call you this whole week."Replied an annoyed Sumo
And in instant Shravan said okay,I guess Pushkar was right,I am a joru ka gulam,He thought.
"That's good.Now you go to sleep,kal Mr.Paul ka case hai na?"Shravan said surpressing her laughter hearing her husband become one bheegi billi in front of her
"Hmmm.Achaa Sumoo,Khushi kahan hai?"Shravan asked
"Khushi voh Preeti ke saath hai,don't worry theek hai voh.Uske cold ka poora dhyaan rakh rahi hoon"Suman replied in a calm tone
"Good Night.Love You Jaan" Shravan said and directed a kiss towards her through his mobile
"Love You too Lambu" Suman said cutting the call and sighed
"Mommaaa" A thin shrieky voice made it to Suman's room
There came her little Khushi,three year old but still smarter than the kids of her age, after all she was Shravan's most loved princess.
"Yes baby?" Suman asked inviting her with open arms to come and sit on her lap
"Mumma aaj mein Mausi ke saath soonge" Khushi said making herself comfortable on Sumo's lap
"Okay but before that aapko dinner finish karna padega and medicine lene padege?" Suman wrapped her arms around the little bundle of joy pulling her closer
Khushi made a face but agreed. 'Jaise papa vaise bete',Sumo thought to herself
"Khushi no making faces Okay? Aaj aapki favorite sev ke saabji bani hai." Suman said smiling as she knew just like her father Khushi too couldn't refuse that sabji
"Yummmyyy" Khushi screamed in happiness
While Khushi ate her dinner,Suman adorend her, the way her face lit up every time when she took a bit of chappati and sev ke sabji and how when she felt something spicy how her nose became red and how she made that particular face while eating kaddi,
Just like Shravan,she thought.
Khushi was a carbon copy of Suman but had developed all the likes,dislikes,expressions and somewhere even the nature of Shravan.
Suman gave the medicines to Khushi and put her into Preeti's bed advising her to not irritate Preeti much.
Sumo changed into her night wear and leapt on to her bed covering her self with a blanket.
Sigh! It was more difficult than she thought.She had told Shravan over the phone that she did not miss him but the fact was she was at the momment teribbly missing him,his shirtless self and the way he cuddled her at night giving her the required warmth.They had never been apart for even a night all these years.
Suman picked up her phone and started scrolling through her picture gallery.She stopped at one particular picture,it was of the maternity shoot they had.
And she remembered that happy and fun day
It was her 9th Month of pregnancy just a week before her due date
In a park
"Sumo Bhabhi aise...haan..haan perfect,Bhaiyaa aap bhabhi ke belly ko kiss kejeye" Pushkar said,brother turned photographer for their maternity photoshoot
"Choteee yaaar" Shravan said
"Shravan ek toh tumhari wajah see meine iss halat mein hoon aur tum upar see mere wish poori nahi kar rahe.I won't let you come near me ever"Suman said stern and angry
"Sorry Jaan"Shravan whispered
Pushkar giggled looking at his brother who was strong for the world but turned bheegi billi in front of his wife.
"Okay now you both stand up and bhaiyaa aap bhabhi ka belly pakdo ekdum lovingly and bhabhi aap bhaiyaa ko cheek par kiss karo pechee turn hoke" Pushkar said ready to click the picture.

He was so adorable and such a supporting husband and yet she had behaved so rudely with him though it was just a joke,She thought facepalming herself
"I miss you Lambu,come soon,Good Night" Suman kissed one of Shravan's picture and keeping her phone aside drifted of to sleep.
