Chapter 47
Four Months Later
Guddan is 5 months pregnant now, ansh is 4 months old and akshan have shifted to the room down stairs as nimisha and angad have moved back to their room. He is being pampered by the entire family. Akshat is still afraid to hold him but guddan forces him at times, so he now holds him and plays with him.
Akshat is getting ready for office and guddan is making him wear the tie.
Akshat: I don't want to go to the office.
Guddan: why?? What's so special today?
Akshat: nothing. I just want to spend some time with you and my baby (caressing her small bump)
Guddan: angad had told you yesterday only that you have some important meeting to attend and he has to take ansh for regular check up.
Akshat: I will postpone it. 😒😒
Guddan: no, you will go and come back early. Me and my champ will wait for you.
Akshat: you and my princess. How many times have I told you?
Guddan: ok fine.. Now go you will be late.
Akshat: bye (kissing her forehead and bending down to kiss his princess)
In office akshat Calls angad
Akshat: angad are you back from the hospital?
Angad: yes I came back just now.
Akshat: is ansh fine?
Angad: yes bhai he is fine.
Akshat: when will you reach the office? You know what you have to do?
Angad: I know the plan. But I was thinking why don't I meet you directly at Gupta house as I have nothing to do in the office. It will save us time.
Akshat: yes that's perfectly fine. You know what all things you need. If you miss something let me know I will get it.
Angad: ok. I will meet you their only.
On the other hand akshat calls guddan after the meeting.
Akshat: hii, you had your lunch?
Guddan: yes. How was your meeting?
Akshat: it was good.
Guddan: so are you coming home? We are missing you.
Akshat: I miss you too but I have some work. Also we have to attend a party in the evening be ready.
Guddan: why didn't you tell me in the morning? I would have gone shopping. None of my previous dresses fit me and saree is not comfortable for me now.
Akshat: relax, I have already done the arrangement.
Guddan: you know what
Akshat: what?
Guddan: I love you
Akshat: I love you more. Ok bye now I have to go.
Guddan: bye.
Nimisha comes to guddan and tells her about the party as angad had called her. Guddan gets happy hearing this as she gets bored in these parties alone.
Nimisha: di what will you wear for the party?
Guddan: akshat was saying that he has done the arrangement.
Nimisha: really?? Angad said the same to me.
Guddan: what are these Jindal boys up to 🤔🤔
Nimisha: relax di, we will get to know when we go their.
Guddan: nimi, I had to ask you something.
Nimi: yes di what is it?
Guddan: nimi when you were pregnant did you ever felt like you are not behaving normally. Are you getting what am I trying to say???
Nimi: of course. I know what you are trying to say. You threw bhaiya out of bed or out of room?? Right🤣🤣🤣🤣
Guddan: how do you know😳😳😳😳
Nimi: di this is all normal. I have done many such things with angad. This is normal. I had talked to the doctor. This is just due to some hormones. You relax.
Guddan: really.
Nimi: yes. You rest I will see what is ansh doing with aarti.
Guddan: ok
Flashback (A Week Back)
Guddan: akshat where are you it's already 11?
Akshat: I am just leaving the office, I will be there in half an hour. You sleep.
Guddan: you know na these days I am unable to sleep when you are not around.
Akshat: ok baba I will be there in some time.
Akshat is extremely tired when he reaches home. It's already 1:00 am. He knows guddan would be upset with him because he was extremely late. He enters his room and sees guddan sitting on the bed eyes closed.
Akshat: guddan, guddan
No response. He thinks she is sleeping so he goes to change. He comes back and sees guddan is lying down on the bed facing away from him. He calls her name but she doesn't respond. He lies down and hugs her from behind while sleeping.
Akshat: I know you are angry because I came late. Actually...
Guddan: I don't want to listen anything (getting up from the bed)
Akshat: at least listen to me
Guddan: no I know you don't love me any more 😭😭😭😭
Akshat: what?? Where did this come from?
Guddan: that's why you come home late now. I know everything. I have become fat now.
Akshat: what is wrong with you?
Guddan: you don't feel like spending time with me that's why you stay out of the house.😭😭😭
Akshat: guddan this is the first time I am late since the pregnancy. What are you talking? Did anybody say anything to you?
Guddan: no I know it. You said half an hour and now you are 2 hours late.
Akshat understood it's not his guddan talking it's his pregnant wife talking right now and it's pointless arguing with her. He has been reading books about pregnancy so he understands these hormonal changes. Akshat goes and hugs her from behind. She tries to leave but he doesn't let her.
Akshat: shhhhh relax. I am sorry, i came late. Please forgive me.
Guddan: no I wont.
Akshat: (kissing her neck) what where you saying? I don't like you anymore because you have become fat now. You know how cute you look with this cute bump (caressing her stomach).
Guddan: really?
Akshat: 100% Mrs. Jindal. I only know how I control myself but I guess today I should let go of this control.
Guddan: what do you mean?
Akshat: (turning her around) what I mean is this.
Akshat captures her lips and they kiss each other passionately. Guddan dominating him taking out her frustration. Akshat allows her to do so. After sometime they part and guddan is breathing heavily. He carries her in bridal style and takes her to the bed. She sleeps hugging him.
Flashback End.
Aarti: bhabhi, bhaiya has send this for you.
Guddan: aaru it's nimisha written on it.
Aarti: oh sorry, then this one is yours. Now you get ready, till then I will give this to nimi bhabhi. Bhai said he is on his way to pick you up.
Guddan opens the packet and sees a beautiful green shimmery gown. Guddan likes it very much and goes to wear it. She comes out of the washroom wearing the gown but is unable to chain it up as her hands can't reach her back. She opens the door to call Aarti but spots akshat at the door.
Akshat: wow how did you know I was at the door before I even knocked.
Guddan: I opened the door to call aarti and you were standing there.
Akshat: all ok? You fine? Why we're you calling her?
Guddan: yes everything is fine? Just that I wasn't able chain this up (turning around). Now that you are here please do it.
Akshat had not noticed till now that she was wearing the gown. Now he saw her form the mirror and she was looking breathtakingly beautiful. He was just lost in her.
Guddan: akshat I am saying something where are you lost.
Akshat: nothing.
Guddan: then do this.
Akshat: ya ok.
Akshat chains it up and is about to kiss her when aarti enters the room with ansh.
Aarti: I am so sorry. Bhaiya I didn't knew you are here. I swear I didn't.
Guddan: it's ok relax...
Akshat: ohh my ansh is ready. He is going to be the star of the party (pulling his cheeks)
Guddan: aarti is nimi ready?
Aarti: yes she might be. I gave her the dress then I took ansh with me. I was dressing up my champ.
They all are ready and leave for the party. Akshat and angad tell guddan and nimisha to put a blindfold on their eyes as it's the theme of the party. They both are surprised but do so. They reach gupta house (nimi and guddan are not aware of the venue) . Aarti takes ansh and maa with her. Angad helps nimisha and akshat helps guddan in walking as they can't see.
Guddan: akshat how long do we have to put the blindfold. I am getting irritated.
Angad: bhabhi just 1 minute. The moment we enter the venue you both can remove it.
Nimi: angad why didn't you blindfold aarti Or yourself as well?
Angad: because the theme says only wives are to be blindfolded.
Guddan: what theme is this?
Akshat and angad make their wives stand at the centre of Hall and remove their blidnfold turning the lights off.
Guddan: akshat why is it so dark?
Nimi: angad what are you doing, ansh will be afraid?
Akshat & Angad: happy wedding anniversary ❤❤❤❤
The lights turn on and both guddan and nimisha are happy but guddan has tears in her eyes as it's her second anniversary but akshat wished her for the first time. This was her reason of being more happy. Akshat comes to her and wipes her tears.
Akshat: I know you remembered our first one and I am sorry. But I promise you form now on this day will always be special.
Guddan: thankyou so much (hugging him)
Aarti: (clearing her throat) shall we cut the cake? Bhai I modified the cakes a bit.
Angad& Akshat: what did you do?
Aarti: see
On one cake it's written "HAPPY ANNIVERSARY AKSHAN" and on the other it's written "HAPPY ANNIVERSARY ANISHA"
Angad: who is anisha?
Akshat: who is akshan?
Aarti: relax let me explain:
Akshat + Guddan= Akshan
Angad + Nimisha= Anisha
Revti: ohhhh very nice aarti. It sounds cool.
Aarti: ok now let's cut the cake.
Both the couples cut the cake and feed each other and to other family members. Entire family is happy and congratulate both the couples. Now both the couples are dancing.
Guddan: thankyou so much akshat. You don't know how happy I am.
Akshat: I am sorry. I still remember how sad were you last year when I didn't wish you. I am extremely sorry.
Guddan: it's ok akshat. Trust me you have made up for last year anniversary as well.
Akshat: really???
Guddan: yes.
Now both the families are sitting and chatting with each other.
Revti: di I am so happy for you today. Finally you got your happiness.
Guddan: revti did I not tell you always everything will be fine.
Revti: yes di but you are way too patient. Had I been at your place I would have given up long back.
Guddan: shhh chutki dont say like that. You will get all the happiness in the world.
Akshat hears their conversation.
Aarti: nimi bhabhi, see guddan bhabhi is so happy. I still remember the last anniversary.
Nimi: I know. Thank god everything is fine now.
Maa: I think we should leave now it's already late. Ansh will catch cold then.
Guddan: yes maa. Papa mummy we will leave now.
Both families bid bye to each other and jindal family leaves. Akshat and guddan change. Akshat makes her lie down on the bed.
Akshat: rest you both might be tired (kissing her forehead)
He lies on the other his side and turns on the night lamp. Guddan notices he isn't sleeping but staring at the ceiling. She moves towards him and places her head on his chest. He wraps his arm around her.
Guddan: what happened? What are you thinking?
Akshat: can I ask you one thing?
Guddan: hmmm
Akshat: I heard you and revti talking. I didn't mean to but I just heard.
Guddan: so?
Akshat: could everybody see that I mistreated you?
Guddan: you never did that. Who said so?
Akshat: revti told you she would have given up had she been at your place.
Guddan: you never mistreated me, it's just that you didn't express yourself and they misunderstood you. But I always knew you will come back.
Akshat: how come you trusted me so much?
Guddan: idk just like that. This is why you weren't sleeping.
Akshat: yes
Guddan: akshat it's all in the past. We have decide we won't talk about this. We are together and that's what matters the most.
Akshat: yes you are right. When we are together then nothing else matters.
Guddan: now sleep. Good night😘😘
Akshat: good night😘😘
