Conviction of heart...

Battle between one's heart and brain is lethal to one's mental peace.Mental peace which Maan felt by keeping books away from pari was short lived. Whatever Geet said was reverberating in his ears. Brain was believing her explanations but heart was not convinced yet.He knew he won't be able to believe geet till both his brain and heart agree. He looked at his watch.Pari was returning from her mother's house after fifteen long days..Door bell rang. He almost sprinted towards door and opened it.Pari threw her arms around him.."I missed you so much..Maan.."He gathered her petite form in his strong arms,,"me too..pari..",he whispered in her ear.

*********************

"Maan..."

"hmm..."He answered Pari while settling the pillow behind his back on the bed. When no response came from pari,his eyes looked at her reflection in the mirror.She was sitting infront of dressing table to apply some lotion on her arms,with her back towards bed. His eyes met with hers in mirror.

"you want to say something,pari???"

"umm..nothing.."

She came at her side on the bed.He tucked her in the blanket and adjusted himself inside.Sleep came easily for both of them that night as it had become slave to their presence near each other.

He woke up as some disturbing sounds touched his eardrums. It was 4 am in the morning.Pari was not in the bed.Light coming from bathroom told him about her presence there.He opened the door of bathroom.She was barfing badly with her face dipped down in the basin. His hands automatically caressed her back to soothe.Her face was pale and exhausted.He made her sit on the bed and washed her face with soaked towel.

"your stomach is upset???"

She looked in his eyes."NO...mummy said its morning sick..."She chewed her words in between.Towel fell from his hands as he felt ground slipping under his feet.He fell on his knees and dipped his head.

" I am so sorry..i am so sorry...i did not believe you..i was wrong..."He mumbled as his eyes became moist,

"no..you can never be wrong,maan..One who is wrong is me..only me..."She was crying badly.Her whole body was wrecking with sobs with her hands covering her face..."I am sorry...I sent you...to psychiatrist..how could i..."

Tears flowed freely down his cheeks as he embraced love of his life.."shooo...If i had believed your pregnancy earlier,you would not have done so.."

They shed tears of regret in each other's arms till morning ray lit the room.He pulled out from the hug first..

"you ok???" He asked pari.

"hmm.."

"this happens every morning..i mean vomiting??"

"umm...since last week..."

"you consulted some gyencologist???"

She nodded negatively." mumma insisted but i wanted to go with you.."

He smiled and pulled her in a side hug..She adjusted her head on his shoulder.."we will go together" He said with a smile.

"but i wanted to meet geet first"

"for what???"

" i want to take this case back..i know you are fine.. you are not insecure about anything. you dont need any psychiatrist...you are perfectly fine"she replied anxiously as tears brimmed her eyes again.

"yes..i am fine ,, i am fine now.."He whispered and gave a small peck on her forhead.

His heart surrendered to the brain that morning.Finally his heart was convinced with brain and Geet.
