Title: Their blissful Heaven (part 1)
"suno na! mujhe abhi ke abhi yeh chahiye, wake up!" Kalpi pushed hard at Raghav's shoulder as he was sleeping like a log by her side.
"Sleep a lil bit kalpana. It will pass this want of yours. Just don't think about it at all. Come." Raghav tried to catch hold of Kalpi's arm but she shifted on the bed and he found himself being straddled by Kalpi. This made his sleep flew away. Show time now!
"oh yeah! Where is my knight who promised me that he will be at my beck and call after wedding? What did I ask for? Is it too much? No! No way, I want it now, desperately and you will do as told. Please love!"
Kalpi leaned down and started to kiss Raghav from his forehead down his cheek, chin and neck.
" hmmm! Convincing me like this! I like this a lot. See, I need more convincing, show me how much you really want it and I'll see to it. Come on now, wifey of mine!"
Raghav gently shifted Kalpi on the mattress and buried his head in her neck and earned a rewarding sigh and giggle from his Kalpana.
Two years of blessed married life and his wife still giggle in bed. He chuckled as he heard the soft musical laugh of Kalpi as he tickled her skin with his stubble.
"I didn't mean this, Raghav! You are becoming naughty day by day, by God! Look at the time-" Kalpi jerked his hand in between them and looked at his watch "-only eleven pm, let's go na! I want it so bad, I can't stand it." Kalpi tried to push Raghav off her but he was too heavy and she wasn't pushing him really, as she rejoiced every time her hubby touched her like that.
" Kalpana, its eleven and they are sleeping maybe. We are not going to disturb them at this time." Raghav tried to reason Kalpi but she started to tears forming in her eyes, something he couldn't bear.
"okay, call your Pakya brother and inform him we'll be there shortly and tell them we'll stay there for the night as I don't want you to get tired anymore." Raghav kissed Kalpi on her forehead and landed a deep kiss on her opened mouth as she registered that she got what she wanted.
Raghav chuckled at his wife and lowered his head even down to kiss the belly button of Kalpi's huge belly. She smiled and stroked his head as he showered kisses on her round belly.
Kalpi was around her 38th week of pregnancy. Two more weeks to go to welcome the new member of the Singhania family. Raghav was so happy and the idea of welcoming his daughter or another son in this world was so powerful. He always thanked Kalpi for the joy she brought to him by marrying him despite all the problems they faced in the beginning. And almost one year later, they've welcomed their first born, Aayush Singhania.
Raghav vividly remembered the day that Kalpi announced that they were pregnant. He came back from work and saw that Kalpi was weeping on the floor in their bedroom. He thought the worse as Kalpi never shed tears for petty things. She told him that she had misplaced her wedding ring and searched the whole house and she's now lost hope of finding it.
Raghav had told her that he would get her another one but she categorically refused. So, he went on a quest to search her ring. She kept giving him hints and guided his search until he opened his wardrobe and found a little blue box. In it was a little blue knitted sock which held a pregnancy test stick. Confused at first, then he realized just what does the two lines meant. They are going to become mom and dad!
He spun around to find a weeping Kalpi assessing his reactions. He just hugged her very tightly and hold on to her. So much joy, so much happiness and so many blessings! That night, he showed his love and passion to Kalpi like never before and thanked God for this happiness.
Nine months later, they welcomed Aayush. The most beautiful baby they've ever set eyes on. He was just like her mother, Raghav thought as he held his first born after delivery. Same nose, same eyes, same hair colouring and he had his mouth and eyebrows. A perfect blend of them. Their son!
Ha, delivery was another thing! As painful it was for Kalpi, it was as much traumatizing for Raghav. He couldn't bear to see Kalpi in so much pain and her cries and shouts in the labour ward were unbearable. The doctors said that everything was fine and going on smoothly but why was she crying so much? He vowed there and then that he would never put Kalpi in that situation again! Never!
And here he was, smiling down at his heavily pregnant wife yet again. he is still amused how Kalpi convinced him to have another baby and he just melted to her cajoling. But this time, he will assist Kalpi in the labour ward. Yes, he's determined even if Kalpi thinks it's a very bad idea.
Kalpi reached for her phone and called home and on the fifth ring, Pakya picked up.
"dada, aai is awake?" Kalpi asked with lots of enthusiasm.
"what? No, she's not. What's up lil sis? My nephew is troubling you or my lil other fighter is up to some somersaults?" asked a teasing Pakya.
"shut up! I'm hungry and want kandha poha right away. Get me through aai please!" asked Kalpi as sweetly as she could to Pakya.
Raghav laughed at his wife urgency to have kandha poha in the middle of the night. She had been having these crazes since month and he can't deny that he has been very indulgent to her every whims and wishes.
"haan, aai! Please if it's no trouble to you. Okay? Fine? We'll reach there in fifteen minutes. Pakka! See you! Haan, Aayush is coming too!" Kalpi cut the call and with much difficulty managed to get up from the bed and went to change.
Five minutes later, they've bundled a sleeping Aayush and off they went to the chawl.
Kamla and Vitthal welcomed the Singhanias and Pakya couldn't resist to wake up Aayush despite the threats of Raghav. The little boy was an energy packet and once awake, started to take the whole house on its head. Vitthal and Pakya were amused while Raghav was threatening Pakya that it's up to him now to make Aayush sleep again as he's not going to do it.
Kalpi laughed as she ate to her fill hot and spicy Kandha poha while watching her happy family and Kamla had tears in her eyes seeing all this. She thanked her Deva a lot and got to massaged kalpi's swollen feet despite her refusing it.
They were busy in their own merry when they heard a loud gasp and the clattering of a plate. Kalpi shouted Raghav's name as she doubled over her belly, clutching it in intense pain.
In seconds, Raghav was by her side, trying to calm Kalpi's down.
"I can't calm down. My water just broke!"
