"Office. Office. Office. He is never going to change!" Gunjan said taking a bite of the large slab of chocolate sitting. Her hair was tied in a neat ponytail and she had switched from wearing salwar suits to wearing kurtis. "Thats all he cares about ." She spoke on the phone as she sat in her bed. "I am tired Sameera.." she exclaimed and then took a deep breathe once again. "Relax Gunjan! Don't get very hyper in this condition, you know its not good for you!" Sameera instructed. "Its been two years since we got married and that man hasn't changed a bit!" she complained to her best friend. They chatted for a while until Gunjan heard footsteps on the staircase and said a quick goodbye to Sameera before cutting the line and concentrating on her chocolate. She shut her eyes for two seconds to calm herself down and then stared at her chocolate. She had never eaten so much chocolate even as a kid. He entered the room loosening his tie and holding a briefcase in his hand. Keeping his briefcase down he looked at Gunjan. "How are you feeling?" he settled his spectacles as he asked. Gunjan didn't bother to reply, she completely ignored him as if he was invisible. He looked at his watch. "I am sorry" he said. "Ignorance Is Bliss" Gunjan muttered. "Sorry?" he asked not hearing what she had said, but due to his late arrival he was ignored once again. "Gunjan I am apologizing na! A client had come so I couldn't leave early. It was important!" he said. Gunjan looked up at her husband and gave him one of her *I-Dont-Care* glares and took another bite of her chocolate. Samrat sat in bed next to her and took the chocolate from her hand. "Gunjan! Are you crazy? This was a huge slab! Don't tell me you ate three-fourth of it NOW?" He was once again ignored. "I am really sorry.." he said. "Sorry My Foot" She muttered angrily. Obviously this was not the first time he was late. It was an everyday affair. Samrat turned Gunjan's face towards himself, "I really am sorry!" he said genuinely. Gunjan couldn't control herself now, "Then why do you do this? You know I am alone these days, You don't let me go for cooking class, you don't let me go near fudge.. You go at 9 in the morning and come home at 9 at night!! You only come home on time when we have to go to the doctor.. Its always been your work first Samrat.." she said seriously. "No Gunjan, its you.. you are the most important person in my life. Not work, not anything else. You are my priority and you know it.." he said with a sigh. This was another usual conversation between them. It was Samrat's work hours that irritated Gunjan the most. She loved him alot and she knew how much he loved her, but he had to cut down on work..! "I know it." She said taking her chocolate from his hand and taking a bite again. "Stop.. no more chocolate.." he said strictly as Gunjan made a puppy face. Samrat hugged his wife without another word. She relaxed for sometime and then spank him on his arm. "I promise I will come home on time from tomorrow!!" he said not willing to leave her. "You really think I am going to believe you? You say that almost everyday!" she said grumbling. "Gunjan I have come late after almost a week! I couldn't help it, my client came and'"And you forgot you have a pregnant wife at home!" she completed the sentence for him. He hated it went she did that. "Why do you always say I forget about you?" he asked. "Because you do!" she said. "Ok, Sorry. Now please don't get angry, its not good for you!" "And if you come late again its not going to be very good for you either!" she scolded. Samrat nodded obediently. "Have you had dinner?" he asked in his cool tone again changing the subject. "No!" she said. Samrat's calm face suddenly showed worry and he got up from bed."Gunjan, I told you not to wait for me..!! You have to have dinner on time not sit and eat chocolate instead of dinner!" he said. Gunjan smiled slightly seeing his husbands face turn serious suddenly. "But I don't like that food.." she said making a innocent face. This time Samrat ignored her 'I dont like that food' and headed straight downstairs into the kitchen and Gunjan heard him scream at the cook for not giving Gunjan food on time! He was back upstairs in just 5 minutes with a plate full of food! As Gunjan sat eating Samrat went in to change.

Samrat had changed quite a bit in these 16 months. He had got spectacles while Gunjan wondered how he hadn't already had them after working so much for years. Samrat had become more expressive staying with Gunjan and had now almost come out of his shell. But something even Gunjan couldn't change was his work timings. She still hated the fact that he gave his work more importance than her. He was 12 hours at office, 8 hours asleep and 4 hours with her, she calculated. How was this fair at all? Gunjan had changed too, in attitude as well as in size. Her stomach had a huge bulge and her cheeks had become more chubby and her arms had swollen up. Gunjan was going to be a mother in a month and there was no one happier than her in this world.. Nothing much had changed in their relationship in these past few months. They loved each other more than anything. Words were not required to communicate, only an expression was enough. Mamiji had changed a great deal. Now everyday at 12 pm she scuttled into the house to see Gunjan. She was very excited for the baby. Samrat always smiled when he saw his mami sitting by Gunjan and taking care of her. Even his mother wouldn't have been as excited as mamiji was. She had literally jumped in joy when Samrat & Gunjan had broken this news to her. But well, that is another long story. Now Gunjan was very sleepy and tired. Samrat had also changed and they had argued a little more about Samrat's work timings. After they were tired of arguing Gunjan lay her head on Samrats shoulders and Samrat put his hand around her. "I love youu" he said kissing her cheek. "Love you too.." "Never ever say that I don't think about you.. you are my life Gunjan, and by now.. you should know it.." Gunjan smiled and resettled herself in his arms and shut her eyes. Overall life for both of them was now 100 times better because of their new family member, who was on his way.
