As if it was a small cab for a baby it was little high then the bed... It was neatly done with little pillows with green and white covers and around it, it has put white lace over so no mosquitoes enter through it...
Near the baby cab, on the floor there was white soft rag with god knows how many soft toys were around it... It was done safer for a baby... On the White wall above the baby cab there was photos of a cute family...
It was like they express their feeling through the pictures as it was beautifully decorated their life from the wedding to till now...
First there was a photo of two people who were in their engagement day wearing rings in each other...
It followed by the wedding day picture which shows them sitting in mandap, guy wearing mangalsutra around girl's neck and in next picture he was putting sindoor in girl's forehead were the girl was sitting closing her eyes while a beautiful smile was on her face...
Their journey start from that moment, there were followed by more pictures... With their family, with their friends, in their work and many more other function likes holi and karwachaut...
It was a perfect movie shown through by those pictures...
A love story which was describe by only the happy moments in it... But it doesn't mean they didn't face any difficult in their life because life is a mixed of emotion...
Suddenly someone's footsteps sound break the silent around the room as the person enters the room very slowly not making a noise...
From the figure it knows it was a guy and he was holding a laptop bag...
He move very quietly to the table and kept it... Then he turns to the bed and move slowly not making any noise as if he doesn't want to disturb anyone in the room...
He look at the bed to see two beautiful Angel's sleeping peacefully, it didn't seems they had been going through so much from a week seeing those two people sleeping soundlessly... He looks at the little Angel who was sleeping over her mother as her mother hold her securely in her arms...
As her mother was holding her with her head on mother chest her little hand was on left on one side while other hand was closed to her mouth... When he looks closely he saw her sucking her little thumb on her mouth...
He smile seeing how she was sleeping over her mother and remember few nights before how both he and his wife had been awake whole day and night just to make sure the little one wasn't haven't any problem or she needs anything...
FLASH BACK
I went to work early morning as I had some important meeting to attend by 9am... After the meeting I would hopefully get the biggest deal so far I had got so I was putting all my affect on it and my wife was real support to me...
I leave the house before my wife or my 1yr daughter awake leaving a note to my wife saying I will be busy and I will have breakfast from out...
My wife was one of the best who any husband could ask for, she never complaint if I don't spend with her and our daughter... But I always try to keep myself free on Sunday so I could spend precious time with my little family...
Before the little Angel come to our life, my wife has been working with me and she was a real big support from then... I didn't know the day I appointed her to my PA, from the day she would only remind as mine...
I was on cloud9 the day I realized I was in love with her because being in same professional she understands me more than anyone else could... Not even my father and mother understand me...
I was working on my lap when my mobile started to ring and I look at the caller... Smile form on my face seeing it was none other than my beloved wife and know she must be calling to wish me luck before the meeting...
'Hello...' I said as I put the mobile closed to my ear but when I heard her tense voice, the smile vanished from my face...
'Please jaldi aao, Angel koh bohot high fever hai...' She said and I know how panic she was from her voice...
I know she wouldn't call and asked if my mother and father were there with her but father went to out of country to attend an important meeting and mother had been accommodating him...
And for me also, my Angel's health is more important than that meeting how much lost I could have to face or not...
'Main 10mins main pochta hoon... Tum tayyar hojao... Hum doctor ki paas lejate hai use...
Don't worry ok...' I said as I make my way out from the cabin...
Cutting the call I make another quick call to my new PA after my wife gave birth to our daughter, she decide she will stay home...
'Julie, Can u tell the clients that we had to postpone the meeting... Also tell them I will inform a date soon...' I said as soon she answer my call...
'But Sir, U had been doing so much hard work for this project... Suddenly wht...' Julie started but I cut her telling, 'Yes I have been Julie... But suddenly my daughter is not feeling well... So I m going to take her to hospital... I will call u later... Please handle the client...'
I zoomed towards the house and saw my wife already standing out with our daughter in her arms...
As soon as I stop she came and sits on the front seat and not wasting another moment, I drive towards the hospital...
As I stop for the traffic, I touch my daughter hand to felt she was burning with fever... Her hand was so hot than wht must she had been feeling from inside...
'Morning main jab main gharse nikla toh tab use fever nehi ti... Achanak kaise...' I asked looking at my wife whose face was pale and worried lines were visible in her forehead...
'Pata nehi... Main 6 30 uti toh tab nehi ta... Phir main fresh hokhe breakfast banane lagi... 7 30bhaj gayi aur jab yeh uti nehi toh maine dekhne gayi it... Uski forehead pe touch ki toh halka sa fever ta... Maine phir temperature check ki aur use jhaga ke breakfast karwa ke medi di...
I think isse takaan mehsus ho rahi hai issiliye yeh phirse sogayi...
8 20 mein maine phirse fever check ki toh woh ghirne ki badle badti jaa rahi it... Toh maine tumhe call ki...' She said as she was caring her back to make her feel comfortable...
'Don't worry Kuch nehi hoga... Climate ho raha haina, maybe iski wajahse huva...' I said trying to make my wife feel better...
Soon we reach hospital and in no time doctor check her and say it was just a normal flue...
Asked to do some test after three days if the fever doesn't decrease...
Doctor gave medicine and asks to put wet cloth on her forehead to reduce fever...
After seeing the doctor, we came back home taking the medicine on the way back... Angel was still sleeping but she was moving in her sleep finding a comfortable place...
2days spend like this... My wife asked to go office and attend the meeting which was schedule but I refused... I know as much as Angel needs me, even she needs me there...
I took 2weeks off so I can be with them... My wife wasn't happy because of it saying I could be with them from evening but at least I had to attend the meeting...
I already attend the important meeting and got the deal... I wasn't happy as much as I should because my Angel was down with fever...
I told the clients once my Angel gets better I will through a big party to them but at that moment, it wasn't possible... I was glad they agree for it and understanding my situation at the moment...
It was night time and my wife was trying to put Angel to sleep as she didn't sleep a wink whole day because of fever... I know how tired my wife was but she didn't say a single word because she loves our daughter as much as I do...
I told her I would put her to sleep but Angel didn't leave her mother for a second as she was hugging her mother every second that past on this two days...
My wife do others were when Angel slept but she hardly sleeps for 30mins continuously... I try comforting her but till her mother didn't take her in her arms she will keep crying...
I was sitting in front of the television looking at the screen but my mind was busy thinking about the happening our life...
I has seen my wife secretly crying as can't see their daughter in pain... Neither I can see her like that nor can I understand what will be going through in a mother...
'Armaan...' I heard my wife shouting inside the room and I rush to the room to see she was holding Angel in her arms while she vomited... Angel was crying and I took her in my arms...
'Ssshhh... Chup hojao Angel... Aap Dada ki acchi wali beti hona...
Kuch nehi huva... Dekho mammi abhi yeh sab saaf karke aapke paas aajenge ok...' I try to calm her down but she keeps crying... I felt again her fever was increasing... 'Riddhima, Iski fever phirse badrahi haina...' I asked as she came out from washroom holding a small bucket with water in it...
'Haan Armaan... Aur dekho aaj already 3baar vomit karchuki hai... Aur phirse...
I think humhe phirse isse doctor ke paas lejana chahiyeh...' Riddhima said cleaning the floor...
'Get ready, hum abhi jaenge... Test karwa ke kal doctor koh dikhaenge ok...' I told as I move to the washroom behind Riddhima and Riddhima nod her head taking Angel from me so she could clean her as her dress got dirty...
Another night end like this both me and Riddhima was awake with her as she wasn't comfortable while sleeping and she keeps waking up in every 20 to 30mins... Riddhima was sitting on the bed putting a pillow on her leg with Angel... She was sleep but not peacefully... She keeps crying in between as the fever increase...
For Almost two weeks Riddhima didn't slept more than an hr or two... I request her but she said how she cans when their Angel is not well...
Sometimes while putting Angel to sleep, she also fell asleep next to her... Not if after putting her to sleep, Riddhima always get busy doing other works around the house...
FLASH BACK ENDS
Armaan was standing looking the cute scene in front of him... He knows how much tired Riddhima would be so not disturbing her, he slowly took Angel from over Riddhima and put her on her cab making her sleep their comfortably...
Then he turn to see Riddhima sitting rubbing her eyes which was full of sleep and knowing she needs sleep Armaan move closer to her...
'Aagaye aap... Arima...' Riddhima started to talk but Armaan stop her putting his finger on her lips... Sitting next to her, he make her laid down back and care her head...
'Tum sojao Riddhima... Main change karke aata hoon...' Armaan said and move to change..
When he came out from the washroom after changing he didn't see Riddhima anywhere in the room... Understanding where she must be checking on Arima, Armaan left the room and went to kitchen...
Riddhima was pouring coffee for two mug knowing Armaan would love to have before he goes to sleep and after a tiring day...
Armaan just love the coffee make by his lover, wife and mother of his only daughter...
Riddhima turn around to leave the kitchen only to see Armaan standing there looking at her...
'Kiya huva... Tum yaha kyun aaye ho... Main coffee lekhe kamre main jaane wali ti...' Riddhima asked moving towards Armaan...
'Maine dekha tum kamre main nehi ti issiliya aagaye... Maine kaha ta tumse tum araam karo Riddhima...' Armaan says taking the coffee mug from her holding her from his free hand pulling her closed to him...
'Main jaanti hoon tumhe coffee peene ki bina neend nehi aate Armaan...' She said as they make their way out from the kitchen...
Both move to the room and saw Arima was sleeping and they didn't want to talk there in the room so they move out in to the balcony... Riddhima took the baby monitor with her so they could here if she wake up...
Armaan sit on the swing which was kept in the middle of the balcony as around there were flower pot kept to decorate the place... It was Riddhima who arrange and decorate the place...
After Riddhima came to Armaan life, she arranges everything... If it was their room, baby room, hall, kitchen and garden or not, she took the responsible of everything around the house saying now it was her home...
Armaan was really happy how easily and soon she adjust in a new place, but he always knows she was a girl who will make her own place in anywhere she goes...
Armaan look at Riddhima who sits closed to him with her coffee mug... She took a sip and closed her eyes enjoying the cool atmosphere out there...
Armaan keep looking at her beautiful face, which shows how much tired she was pale due to lack of sleep...
Feeling Armaan gaze on her, Riddhima open her eyes and turn her face to Armaan side... She was right thinking he was busy admiring her... A smile form on her face knowing after years of marriage, Armaan didn't get bored admiring and staring at her like before the marriage...
'Kiya dekh rahe ho Armaan...' Riddhima asked moving more closed to him as he put his hand around her waist...
'Yehi ki tum nehi hote toh mera kiya hoga Riddhima...
Kitna tum mere liyeh karte ho, humhare bacche ke liyeh karte ho bina kuch kahe koi nehi karta hoga...' Armaan said...
'Armaan... Yeh meri farz hai... Tum aur Arima meri zinmadaari hai...
Tum dono se badkar mere liyeh koi important nehi hai Armaan...
Tumne mujhe apne liyeh pasand karke mujhe izzat di, tumne mujhe tumhare gaabiliyat samjha isse accha mere liyeh kiya ho sakti hai Armaan...
Mujhe pata nehi meri papa koan hai...
Meri ma ne mujhe kitni mushkil se padai, meri har jarurat koh pura karne ki koshish ki Armaan...
Lekin Ma ne kabhi mujhe apni pita ki kami mehsoos hone nehi di...
Main bohot khush hoon tumhare saat Armaan...
Jitna main tumhare liyeh karti hoon woh kuch bhi nehi hai... Lekin tumne mujhe chunke, mujhe ek nayi zindagi diya hai... Tumne Arima koh mujhe dekhe, mujhe ek ma banayi...
Aaj jo main hoon, woh sirf aur sirf tumhare wajahse ho Armaan...
Shaadi se pehle maine aise bohot raate bitae bina soye... Kyunki mujhe ma ki dukh nehi dekha jaati... Mujhe bohot mehnat karna pada is position pe aane ke liyeh...
Jabse tumse mile ho, tabse tum mujhe support karte aaye ho Armaan... Aur main jaanti hoon isse aage yeh sab kuch bhi nehi hai...' Riddhima said...
Armaan just keep listening to her, she never said all this before but tonight, she open herself to him and he was happy... Happy to know he was the reason she was living... He and Arima was the reason her to smile and Armaan knows when she smile from her heart and when not...
Sitting in the same position, Armaan move his face closed to her and drop a kiss on her forehead sideway... Riddhima look at him and put her head on his shoulder...
'Pata hai Riddhima...
maine bhi kabhi nehi socha tum mere life main aakhe mujhe itni khushi denge...
Bachpanse aajtak mom aur dad koh mujhe jitna time dena chahiyeh utna time nehi de sakte... main jaanti hoon woh log mujhe khush rakhne ke liyeh itna kaam karte hai...
Lekin mujhe dukh hota hai jab woh dono mere saat ek minute bhi spend nehi karte... Issiliyeh maine yehi soch main un dono koh chodke baaki sab main apna khushi dhundunga...
Jab main padai kar raha ta, tab maine itna dost nehi banaya... Aur tumhe aane ki baad mujhe yeh mehsoos huva main kitni akele hoon...
Aaj mere paas dost hai toh woh sirf tumhare wajahse ho Riddhima...
Mujhe apne life main zyada log nehi chahiyeh... Jo bhi ho usmain khush hoon main...' Armaan said...
Riddhima also quietly listen to what he was saying... She knows about Armaan life but she never tell him that all this he was telling her, she already know it from his mother...
Now his mother and father try to spend more time with him, her and their granddaughter... Riddhima was happy, somehow she manages to bring them together and make them spend time with each other...
'Riddhima...
I didn't know when I smile first time in my whole life... Because before u come, I had forgot to smile...
I know people talk about me on my back saying I always make those angry faces, because I didn't want to show anyone my sad side..
But, after u can I don't know when I started to smile... Whenever I see u, I feel my life was complete, nothing more can me perfect...
Whenever I see a single sight of u, automatically smile comes to my face...
Ur smile, make me smile...
Ur present, make me smile...
If I smile, its only because of u Riddhima...
Reason behind my smile is u Riddhima...
But now, it's both ladies in my life who I live and smile...' Armaan said...
'And Reason behind our smile is our Daughter Arima now... Right...' Riddhima asked looking at Armaan...
Armaan blink his eyes... Their face were closed to each other and their lips were inch away...
Armaan eyes fell on her rosy lips and he look at her meeting her eyes...
He saw her cheek turning red knowing what he was thinking and small smile played on her lips... Seeing her smile, smile form on his lips and soon he capture his lips with hers...
But, their moment was disturb when they hear noise coming from the baby monitor and hear Arima cute voice...
Before Armaan could understand what was happening, Riddhima run away from there... Armaan came inside the room to see Arima on Riddhima arms and she was smiling... Her face was glowing and it didn't show she just wake up...
'Lagta hai aaj bhi jhagna padega...' Armaan said as he came close to them...
'Hmmm... dekho toh isse... Aise muskura rahi hai jaise abhi uski khelne ka time hai...' Riddhima said...
Arima was pointing to something and Armaan bring her whatever she was pointing but she keeps refusing... At last Armaan took her milk bottle which was empty and Arima jump on Armaan arms...
Understanding what she wants, Riddhima took the bottle to make milk for her...
Riddhima came back to the room to see Armaan sitting on the bed with Arima on his stomach...
Armaan was tickling her stomach and she keeps giggling making those cute and sweet voices of her... Riddhima move to them and soon Arima was lying in between Riddhima and Armaan holding her milk bottle... While drinking it, she drowns back to sleep...
Armaan saw Riddhima staring at Arima without blinking her eyes and he understand she was thinking about something...
'Kiya huva Riddhima...' Armaan asked as he keeps caring Arima hair...
'Yehi ki kuch din pehle Angel kitni pain main ti... Aaj dekho, aise so rahi hai jaise kuch huva hi nehi...
Woh raate toh isse yaad nehi hoga, lekin mujhe yaad hai jab main isse dekhti hoon...' Riddhima couldn't complete...
'Aankhen barjate hai... Yehi na Riddhima...' Armaan complete for her... 'Aur yeh bhi sochte ho ki is mausoom ki jaan par kiya beetrahi hogi... Use toh yeh bolna bhi nehi aati kiya baat use sata rahi hai...'
'Haan Armaan... Lekin main khush hoon aaj Arima bilkul tik hai...
main jaanti hoon bimar toh sab hoti hai but jab apne takleef main hai toh hum kissi aur ke baare main soch nhi paate...' Riddhima said...
'Main bhi bohot khush hoon Riddhima... Aur yeh sab tumhare wajahse huva...
Woh aaj itni jaldi tik huva hai toh woh sirf tumhare wajahse ho Riddhima...' Armaan said..
'Kiya karti main Armaan... Iski hasi meri hasi ki kaaran (reason) banchuki hai...' Riddhima said...
'Sirf tumhari nehi Riddhima... Reason behind our smile...' Armaan said...
Both AR holds each other hand above Arima head while they kept their other hand over Arima hands which was fold on her little stomach...
Armaan and Riddhima look at each other smiling while little tears were shining in their eyes... They bend towards Arima and kiss her cheek at the same time...
It was true, REASON BEHIND THEIR SMILE WAS ONLY THEIR DAUGHTER, THEIR ARIMA...
With Love
