Hi friends just wanted to share one of my first stories I had written around 4 yrs back! I love writing short stories and this is my favourite time pass.

P.N. This has nothing to do with EMA but if you want you can imagine Ashish and Rachana as the main characters of this story!!


Hope you enjoy reading it...

'I dont care', said Ivaan and he slammed the door behind him. Ishita was shocked!
How could her husband say that!!! He dint care? Was it true? Tears welled up in her eyes as she happened to look at the table nearbly. Ivaan had looked so cute and madly in love with her. The photo was taken just after the wedding and he had lifted her in his strong arms! Ishitaa was all taken by surprise wen she was lifted by Ivaan @ the wedding!
She never thought him to be that romantic! The tears trickled down her cheeks but she wiped their photo frame instead. Its been almost 3 yrs to their marriage and she still felt something missing in their life.


Ishitaa was feeling frustrated. The past few years had been difficult for her. She was forced to leave her job and move out of India with Ivaan. They had moved to Zambia. Ishi had never been away from her parents before...but her mom said, 'this is how life is, my dear..dont worry abt us..u take good care of yourself'. Unfortunately within 3 months of her moving out, her father had a heart attack which he could not survive. She could not wish him a proper goodbye or have a last look at him...She felt heartbroken and couldn't face her mom. She just kept weeping for days. She had loved her dad like every daughter did! She remebered the days with her father and felt worse that her mom will now be lonely. She wept profusely for 3 days and was more diappointed because her mother was still not out of the shock. Her mother didn't cry even once. She sat in the study near her father's table and then remained there. It was as if she never knew wat was happening around!

On the 10th day after her father's last rites n rituals Ishi went to her Mom she bent to tap on her mom's shoulder wen she felt dizzy n fell into her mother's lap. She dint knw how many hrs had passed but it was dark wen she woke up. A lady walked into her room and switched on the lights. 'Ishi beta, how r u feeling now? You must take care of urself in this condition ok?' Condition??what condition? asked Ishi. The lady smiled and went back outside. Where's ma? Ishi called out. Ma walked in to the room and for the first time in these 10 days she saw her mother's eyes wet. She looked a lot older now and a bit weak too. In the dim light she looked a bit eery to her. Pale and eyes with dark circles, loose hair she looked so different than wat her mom used to be.

She felt a pain emerging from her heart and choking her throat. Ma! she croaked and ran to hug her. They cried together then for hours. After a few minutes Shanta came with dinner. Ishi was hungry but she dint feel like having dinner, but her mom took the plate in her hand and fed Ishi, like she used to wen Ishi was a kid. She used to love it wen she used to get pampered during childhood.

Her mom smiled weakly n said, 'I will take good care of u. U need not worry as u still hv ur mom. U can be with me till the delivery of your baby.' Ishi looked surprised as she swallowed the food, 'baby?' Ma wat r u saying? Her mom's eyes shined brightly now, 'You are pregnant my sweety pie. You are abt to be a mother.' Ishi stared at her mom and she suddenly realised everything.

It was this news that brought her mom out of the shock! She now had mixed feelings. Happy abt the good news but sad that her father was not arnd to share this news and celebrate wih them. I have to tell Ivaan she thought and suddenly she blushed. She touched her stomach and got excited.

'I cant let you stay there for that long Ishi, you knw I need you here'. Ivaan did not want her to stay with her mom till the due date. He had wanted her to come back to Zambia immediately.
'I cant do it alone Ivaan, I need assistance. Just try and understand, please!' Ishi was losing her patience. Was she developing the mood swings from now itself?

Please do comment your views on this story.

This is just the first part, will post the rest if you all like it and want to read more of it and dont forget to hit like if u enjoyed!

Hi dear!

Please no sorry or thanks among friends!! right? I can completely understand what it means to lose your loved one! A father is someone every daughter dotes on!
But don't forget he is your guardian angel and is looking at you and will always send someone to protect you! However my dear you should be proud of your mom who has fulfilled her responsibilities single handedly, dont ever leave a chance to convey to her that she is only your dad! and she is the best in this world!!!

A big hug to you! Byw what is your name?

Ishi spoke to her mom (Nandini) abt Ivaan's call. Nandini was losing hope..is she not going to be around when her daughter needs her? So, asked Nandini, 'what have you decided?' Ishi looked at her mom and this time she could clearly make out the wrinkles on her face. She was trying to see if her mom was hurt after their conversation. But Nandini's face was unusually calm, which was very unlike her. Calm but intense. It seemed as if she had held her breath till she heard Ishi's answer. Ishi was getting uncomfortable as she had never seen her mother so calm before. She did not know wat to reply, but she smiled at her mom and said, 'Its ok mom, leave it to me. I knw how I can convince Ivaan.' Her mom heaved a sigh of relief, a small curve at the end of Nandini's lip enuf to show that she was happy to hear this.

You need to complete 4 months before you can fly Mrs.Poojary, said the gynaecologist after the check up. As of now you just need to continue with these medicines and take good care of urself. Only then can I guarantee you to leave the country, ok? Ishi smiled and not even for once she felt bad that she was away from Ivaan. She realised this and wondered why? Did she not love Ivaan? Oh maybe because of the argument we had yesterday.


Nandini who was sitting next to her looked a bit nervous and asked the gynaec a couple of questions.
Ishi just moved out of the cabin and looked around. Suddenly she started giggling and everyone around stared at her. She laughed at the thought of being surrounded by many pregnant women and imagined herself with a big belly, n her mom holding her hand! Soon she became aware of the current scene and blushed. Ishi left the corridor silently mouthing sorry. She again was surprised that how come she did not think of Ivaan holding her hand? 'You should have waited for me Ishi, why did you come out all alone?' Ishi turned back to see her mom and she felt like a kid again. The way she used to come out of the shops all alone and her mom used to panic searching for her...

'Where are you lost?', Nandini asked Ishi, busy keeping the prescription in the bag and reminding herself to buy medicines..Ishi's eyes moistened. She was never a cry baby but after marriage she seems to have become like one of the characters in Ekta Kapoor serials..She smiled at herself on this joke and wrapped her hands around her mother's and rested her head on Nandini's shoulder. 'Mom, lets have Pav Bhaji at Khau galli, please?' Nandini was surprised but she wanted her daughter to keep smiling and so she said yes provided you drink the whole glass of milk and eat one whole apple in the night.' Ishi winced but said yes. They both called for a cab and left for Khau galli.

Ishi opened the door to find her mobile ringing, 'oops, I forgot to carry my mobile, must be Ivaan'. She rushed to answer the call. 'Where on earth have you been Ishi? I hv called you 7 times, dint you knw that I might call you?' said Ivaan. He sounded a little low just like a child crying for attention. Ishi smiled at this cuteness and replied,'Sorry baba, had gone for the check up and doc has given me strict instructions to stay at home, so cant come to Zambia!' No way! Ivaan sounded like a child whose ice cream just fell on the road! But I miss u baby!' Hmm If the doc has asked u to be there then do what she says. I have informed my parents and they will be at your place in a day or two.' Mom was very excited to hear the news. Why dont you speak to her?' Ishi replied, 'patidev I did call up our mother in the morning and they r reaching here day after 2mrw, ok?'

Ishi was disturbed from her thoughts as she heard her child crying. She wiped her tears went to the kid and lifted Adi, her son. My bundle of joy, she thought and smiled. Adi looked like Ivaan Jr. and he loved his mom like every 3 yr old did. Mumma bhukku! mum mum. Ishi realised she hadn't prepared Adi's food and rushed to the kitchen. After her chores she n Adi got ready and went out of the house to a nearby garden. Adi seemed excited and he was shrieking with joy! He ran off to play with other kids as Ishi watched him smiling and waving out to him. Did Ivaan really not care? Is he the same Ivaan she knew? No he had changed. From past few months, he was behaving wierd. He dint compliment her or ask her what she did the entire day. He would not even notice her new hairdo or that Adi had spoken a new word. He seemed so involved in himself that he hardly bothered. Is Ivaan having an affair?

'Mrs Poojary, Adi is looking so cute but getting naughtier by the day.' Ishi looked up from the bench she was sitting on, it was Mrs Kapoor. Very friendly neighbor, whom Ishi could always trust. 'What are you thinking? whether Ivaan is having an affair?' Ishi was startled to hear this and looked shocked. 'How did you knw Mrs Kapoor?
