that day evening in malik house:
raj and dadima were very happy to know that they are expecting a new family member soon.kunal and siddhi got ready to go to hospital for conformation. raj and dadima were sitting in the hall.
dadima:'jaate jaate mandir ho kar jaana...😃'
SiNal:'ji dadima...😃'both of them took the blessings from them and went.
kunal parked the car bit away from the mandir.took a white handkerchief from his pocket , tied around his head covering his fore head too.he always looks more handsome in this getup.
both of them got down and walked towards the mandir.they have to claim steps to reach the mandir.the steps were steep.after claiming few steps siddhi stayed back gasping. kunal turned back and looked at her.
kunal:'kya hua...😕?'he raised his eye brow and asked.
siddhi:'i can't claim... my stomach is hurting...'she showed her painful face.
kunal:'bass itni si baat?...😃'he came down two steps and in no time he carried her in his arms.
siddhi:'omg!😲..yeah kya kar rahe ho..?it is a public place...leave me down.. koi dek le ga tho?...'she circled his neck with both her hands as garland.
kunal:'i don't care...if at all i care...that is my wife...😉'he winked at her.
siddhi:'jaldi chalo...koi dek le ga...' she hurried him.
kunal:'jaldi chalun!!!!😲..mooti kahinki...chicken briyaani gha gha kay itni bhaari hogaye hai...🤣...'he laughed and acted as if he cannot carry her and going to fall.
siddhi :'...tum ghar chalo mai dekti hun...😡' she tried to pinch his cheek.
kunal:🤣...he moved his face away.
they went to the mandir, prayed god and came down.
kunal:'tumai yaad hai siddhi... 😃hum shadi kay phahe le bhi iss mandir aayeh te...😛'he said while walking.
siddhi:'yaaa...hum bhutta ghayeah te...yummy...😛'she searched for that bhutta wala.

siddhi:'koi baat nahi bhaiya...mai manage karlungi...😃'she jumped and pulled out the hand kerchief from kunal's head. it came out as a cup , she filled that cup ith goose berries.
kunal:😡😆...he fixed his hair with his fingers
she took one and put it in her mouth ...it was sour , bitter , and astringent...it was juicy and quite fibrous too.she closed her one eye and enjoyed the mixed taste of it.
siddhi:'yum...😛...lo...tum bhi khao...😃'she picked up a smallest one and gave it to him with a broad mind.
kunal:'i don't eat all those nonsense...😒'he shrunk his face.
siddhi:'..wahi tho...bandar kya jane adrak ka swad😛...'
kunal:'...haaa!..tum ne muje bandar kaha..😡😛?'
siddhi:'heee...😃...i love you...😛'she said without looking at him and checking the gooseberries.
hospital:
doctor seema:'i want to check up siddhi personally.tum bahar wait karo.i will call you after half an hour...' she send him out.
kunal was walking up and down restlessly in the corridor in between the patients who were walking around.while walking he saw doctors and nurses pushing and bringing a unconscious child in the structure.'i have seen this baby some were😕...'when he tried to remember he saw ritcha crying and coming behind the doctors.
ritcha too noticed kunal.immediately she came running to kunal leaving the baby in the structure.
ritcha:'kunal...😭...' she could not speak.looks as if she was sobbing for a long time.
kunal:😲...he went speechless
ritcha: 'kunal...shayad tumai bhagwan ne iss waqt yahan bheyja hai...please muje madad karao...meri bachchi ko bachalo...😭'she weeped.
kunal:😲...
ritcha:'😭...she is suffering from sever pneumonia...she is in death bed...right now no pediatrician is available in this hospital...i am new to this delhi...😭..'she said with non stop tears running on her cheeks.
kunal:😲...
ritcha:'i know you have influence...please help me...😭'
kunal:...
ritcha:'mai ne tumara bahut apamaan ki...tumari hasi kushi zindagi ko barbaad karne ki poori koshish ki.muje maaf kardo...bhagwan kay leyeh meri madad karo...😭'
kunal:😲...
ritcha:'meri zindage mai sab kuch meri beti hi hai...uss kay alawa koi nahi hai...pleaseee save my daughter...😭'suddenly she kneel down and cried. kunal did not expected that...
kunal:'please ritcha... utto...😒'he stepped back and helped her to get up.
kunal:'...tumare pati kahan hai..?😕'
ritcha:'pati..?😲 wo hote tho mai kyun tumare pair padti😭... you know that i was a greedy girl... wanted to fly high in short time that too in short cut...so i married a spoilt brat , rich business man.he divorce me with in a year and married another girl...😭'she cried.
kunal: deep inside he felt sorry for her.
ritcha:'meri budi maa kay alawa mara koi nahi hai...mere paas na kaam hai , na paisa ... i don't have sufficient money to give best treatment to my child...😭...and i am new to delhi...meri bachchi ko bachalo...😭'suddenly she hugged him and cried.she badly need somebodies shoulder to console her.
kunal:'😲...for a second he was confused and went blank...the one who is crying on his shoulder is not the evil ritcha but a morose mother of a ailing child.
kunal:'...tum fikr maat karao...'he hugged her gently as a sign of '...he is there to help'.
at the same time siddhi came out of doctor's room and paralyze to see kunal and ritcha hugging each other.
siddhi:😲 😲😲...she was rooted to the ground.her face became black as if lightning stuck on her head.
kunal:...he too noticed siddhi.he did not got panic or shocked because he knows his bad time always work out in right time.he sighed.
' i can't be so mean and merciless with a child's life to keep my married life happy...i can't be too selfish...' he decided to save ritcha's child putting his married life intentionally at risk.
kunal:'tum bachchi kay paas jao...mai aatha hun...'said to ritcha and went to siddhi.siddhi was standing as a child got lost in a trade fare.she was completely voiceless.
kunal:'tum driver kay saat ghar chale jao...😒'without listening or waiting for siddhi he rushed to doctors room to collect siddhi's medical report.he called her driver from malik's house ,told him to come immediately and pick up siddhi from city hospital.
he left siddhi in the corridor hoping that she may go home on her own. he went running to the administration department and spoke about the non availability of pediatrician.
administrated:'sir...pediatrician is out of station...😒'she informed
kunal:'so what? make arrangement from other hospitals...😡' he said with impatience.
administrator:' it is odd time...no one will come...'
kunal:' what do you mean by no one will come?😡...give their number i will call them...' his tone was harsh.
administrator:' even if they come on emergency ground it will be expensive...' she explained.
kunal:'you no need to worry about it😡... i want pediatricians right now...'he demanded and she did.his influence and money power worked in time.with in short time two pediatricians came and attended the child.around 3am the doctors could able to say the child is out of danger.after knowing that ritcha tried to calm down herself. wiped her face and tears.
kunal:'mai hospital ka poora bill bhardun ga..tum firk maat karo...'he tried to smile with yet another favor.
ritcha:😭...she looked at him with lot of regret in her eyes.
ritcha:'maine tumai beizat ki...tumari zindagi barbaad karne ki poori kosh ki...par tum ne meri zindagi waapas lotaya...if i say thanks to you that is so less for you...😭'she tried to kneel down again.kunal stopped her.
kunal:'nahi ritcha...issa maat karo...' ritcha hold his both the hands buried her face in it and cried.
ritcha:'maine tumai bahut duk diya hai...muje maaf kardo...aaj kay baad mai tumare zindagi mai kabhi nahi awun ki...kabhi bhi nahi...😭'
kunal:'tum ek achche ladke se shaadi kar lo...'he felt sorry for such a brilliant and talented girl who has no future.
ritcha:'achcha ladka...?😔mai tho wo kho chuki hun...'she looked at kunal and said. kunal understood her look.
kunal:'nahi ritcha ...mai tum se kabhi nahi payaar ki ya...mera payaar srif siddhi hai...'he got emotional when he said his love is only siddhi.
ritcha:'mai jaan ti hun...😭...lucky she is...😃'she said with tears.
kunal:'tum aur mai se zindagi ghatam nahi hoja ti..aage bado...kush raho...😊'he walked out with a piece of advise .
ritcha:😭...stood looking at him with running tears on her cheek.
when he reached malik house it was almost 4am.siddhi was sitting in the hall waiting for him.she too did not sleep the whole night ,spent the night restless and sleepless awaiting for kunal to come home.
he walked towards the upstairs without looking her... in fact neglecting her as he don't have the guts to face her. he knew what she will be thinking and how she is going to react...
siddhi:'tum poori raat kiskay saat te???😡...'
kunal:'ritcha kay saat...🥺'he said with heavy heart knowing the consequences of his answer and walked up to his room without further explanation.
