Since morning she had been restless. She wanted to tell maan as soon as possible. What had happened was not right, she should have at least been sensible. How could she? No! What if her dad comes to know about it? No! it can't' be. He was no doctor. But then he had noticed and had commented last night while they were at dinner that for the past few days she had not been keeping well and had insisted on taking her to a doctor. The very thought of doctor and that too their family physician had made her frantic and she was quick to make an excuse that she had already spoken to doctor manchanda and he had prescribed certain drugs which she was regularly taking . at this very moment the one man she needed most and who was absent on pretext of work was maan. Oh how she was dying to share the news with him. But then ominous thoughts lingered into her mind regarding his reaction,

" what if he got angry? If he deserts me? What if he blames me entirely for the fiasco! No but it wasn't a fiasco! It was all a beautiful moment when we made our baby! Our baby" a slow soft smile touched her lips everytime she thought about being a a mother and she was pregnant with maan's child, that thought made her elated but she still didn't know as to how maan would react and that made her anxious. Today he was due to return from his business trip and she was looking forward to as well as dreading to see him at the airport. Off course she was happy that he was coming back but then she knew that once she meets him she would have to tell him about the child and then what would happen was a matter of concern for her. She just didn't want maan to think it to be a mistake. She hoped and prayed while she drove towards the airport where the love of her life, father of her child was waiting to be received, with that thought she turned right towards the domestic arrival.

Maan since he saw her at the airport felt that something was amiss. She was not her usual self. Though she tried to keep up the easy conversation yet she failed. There was hesitation in her eyes and she had been avoiding eye contact. They were seated at an open air coffee shop near his apartment.

"maan isn't the weather great! See its gonna rain, the breeze is so soft and I love it before its rains" geet blabbered on without realizing that she was being scrutinized by maan.

"hmm, you look lovely, glowing absolutely have you done something for it" maan replied not taking his eyes off his lady love

Geet had not expected such a repay but maan's very compliment caught her off guard, indeed she was glowing and it was not because of nay beauty treatment but because of the small life she was nurturing within. Now she had to tell maan. She had tried to delay the moment but...

"I asked you something, did you go in for some beauty treatment while I was away because if you have I can see the effect, you look fresh and resplendent and radiant, I think you should tip your beautician since she has done a hell of a a job" maan joked making light of the situation

"in that case I should be tipping you" geet replied listlessly

"what do you mean?" maan at once went stiff

"I mean that this glow, this radiance that you see is because of you" geet replied

"oh! I get it, my love makes you radiant and glowing is that it" maan said

right and wrong at the same time" geet said

Maan quirked his brows at her answer and asked, "How so?"

"yes your love makes me radiant and glowing especially when its growing each day inside me" she replied.

Her words went flying off maan's head and somewhere he was exasperated at her behavior. Since the time she met him at the airport she had acted strange, fumbled and stumbled over her words. She tried in vain to keep her engaged in a futile conversation like discussing the weather and how his trip had been whether the venture went well. She was pensive and maan could see that she was trying to hold back herself, she was talking in riddles which she had never done before so he confronted geet.

"what's with you geet? Whats wrong? I have been noticing you since air[port, uyou are not the one I left here a week before I went for my business deal. Are you angry for me being not there for over a week? You how these business meetings are like, they can stretch forever sometimes but I called you every day any free time that I got I called you then why this cold behavior..." even before he could finish geet butted in, " to prepare you for the shock"

shock! What shock!" maan asked alarmed

"am pregnant" she replied with a calm demeanor though underneath it was a whirlwind of emotions.

For a minute or two there was silence.

When geet could no longer take it, seeing maan stunned, she began, "see maan I know it must me so sudden for you, so was it for me when I first found out but then I became happy once I realized I have life growing inside me, your baby, the thought that am carrying your child made me smile and am so happy please don't think it as a mistake, it was all a beautiful moment neither you nor me were at fault, its our love growing inside me" she blabbered along and still when she failed to get any response from maan sh e burst into tears and said meekly, "please don't leave me"

Geet's very public outburst had men and women at the various tables of the coffee shop turn their side and maan instantly was at her side soothing her running his hand up and down hr back while he hugged her sideways kissing her. She was murmuring something which didn't register geet's mind until she paid attention but when she did she heard and she couldn't believe her ears, he was saying,

"geet you are my life and I can never leave you and how could you think that I would be mad at you am so happy get, I actually can feel my feet above the ground, you have made me into a happy fellow, I am going to be a father! A father! Wow am so happy! If it hadn't been in public I would have picked u up here and twirled you around and around and around, am so happy geet so happy"

"you are?" geet asked stunned?

yes I am" maan said with love in his eyes and then he said something that melted geet into his arms and she held him tightly as if he were her life, "and geet you made a mistake" when geet looked up to give him a quizzical expression he kissed her on her forehead and keeping his hand on her tummy protectively said, "its not a I am pregnant but you should have said, we are pregnant, after all am going to be a parent too! Isn't it?" he said

"yes" replied geet
