"Vansh! Vansh!" Riddhima screamed at the top of her lungs and her husband came running, almost falling onto the kitchen floor.
"Kya hua Riddhima? Chilla kyu rahi ho-
"Vansh, ye kya kiya tumne! Aisa karne se pehle ek baar bhi nahin socha? Ye nahin laga mujhe kaisa lagega?" Riddhima cried, tears pooling in her eyes like a dam about to burst.
"What did I do?" Vansh frowned, looking around the kitchen. It was spick and span, not a spoon out of place. After all, it was 7 am in the morning.
"Kya kiya? You are really asking me that!" Riddhima scoffed loudly. "Dekho, kya hai ye?"
Vansh looked at where his wife was pointing. His heart sank as he saw the big bowl of milk sitting on the counter. Well, it used to be milk until last night. Right now, it was more of a bowl of milky water and what looked like chunks of something.
"Saara doodh kharab ho gaya! Tumne raat ko fridge mei kyu nahin rakha!" Riddhima said in an irritated tone and Vansh tried to handle the situation.
"Arey, rakha tha...I remember, main raat ko kitchen mein aaya toh dhoodh fridge mein hi tha!" He said, clearly picturing the milk inside the refrigerator, between the daal and the dahi.
"Toh kya ye apne aap bahar aa gaya? Hmm, raat ko isi thand lag rahi hogi fridge ke andar, tabhi toh bahar aa gaya-
"Riddhima please, I am telling you, the milk was inside the refrigerator-
"Toh bahar kaise aaya? Kisne nikala? Humare alawa kon hai jo nikalega?" Riddhima frowned and crossed her arms.
"Staff-
"Staff 8 baje ke baad aata hai. Aur humara ghar haunted nahin hai." She gave a fake smile and shrugged. "Aur kal raat ko mere sar mein dard ho raha tha, toh main toh dawai kha kar so gayi thi. Bacha kaun? Aap, Mr Vansh Raisinghania!"
"Tum officially detective kyu nahi ban jati? Ye physio-visio therapy mein kya rakha hai." Vansh chuckled and rolled his eyes. "Aur anyways, yaad aaya mujhe. Tumhara sar dard ho raha tha isilye main tumhare liye doodh garam karke laaya tha. You were in so much pain ki shayad jaldi, jaldi mein main doodh fridge mein rakhna bhul gaya. Sorry."
Saying so, he left with an upset face, leaving Riddhima feeling so bad.
Scratching her head, she cradled her baby bump and sighed.
"Aapke Papa toh gussa ho gaye baby. Ab aapko aur Mumma ko unko manana hoga. Please, kuch toh idea do!" She sighed and started to go for her husband when she felt something.
"Vansh!" She screamed yet again and within ten seconds, he was there, holding her with a worried face.
"Kya...kya hua...sab thik toh hai? Hospital chale? Labour pain abhi se kaise, abhi toh-
"Vansh...shh!" She looked at him and put his palm on her stomach. His eyes widened as he felt it too and looked at her, tears in both their eyes.
"Baby ne laat maari, oh my God!" Vansh said and chuckled, suddenly laughing. Riddhima frowned at it and shrugged, as if to ask, what's so funny?
"Clearly, the baby is on my side." Vansh said as they walked to the living room.
"Why do you say so?" Riddhima asked and he nodded.
"Well, tumne mujhpar thoda sa gussa kia aur isne tumhe itna pareshan kar dia! So obviously, the baby is taking my side." Vansh said and Riddhima chuckled, saying nothing as she snuggled up to her husband's inviting arms.
Their baby was clearly on both the sides.
"Papa ko mana hi lia." She thought and closed her eyes as Vansh planted a soft kiss on her lips.
