Sunlight streaked in through his window...
Indicating the arrival of morning.
He opened his eyes and stretched, and turned sideways, his eyes fell on her.
The sleeping form of his sweet wife was always a treat for him to watch.
Her relaxed posture and peaceful expression soothed even the worst turmoils of his heart.
His eyes moved downwards and rest at his favorite spot for the past few months.
The place where now nurtured their love.
Her big round belly was now the dwelling of a yet to come member of the Rathore family,
Their unborn child...
Yes! Aisha was pregnant! And Sameer was now the happiest man on earth.
His joy reflected on his every syllable...
It was no doubt that he was a vigil and cop!
A wonderful man! A true friend a loving husband, A good leader.
All these roles he'd fulfilled dutifuly but this realization of being a father was something unique.
An undescribable feeling that had his heart soar high with happiness.
He gazed at her with so much love that had she been awake she would've melted right then and there...
both had a rough and tough exterior...
but only after they met...
each discovered their own..and the other's soft core...
and then something clicked in... from there colleagues to friends to lovers and now finally they were happily married as husband and wife and soon to be parents..
all throughout their journey both had found out a new facet of their beloved...
The ringing of his phone
pulled him out of his
flying thoughts...
she squirmed in her sleep
and before the noise woke her up he quickly got out of the bed and grabbed his phone...
it was his alarm for the jog where he was supposed to join Arjun.
his bestie and second in
command.
a lot of things had changed drastically in his
life...
also his frienship with
Arjun.
their relation had seen the worst of times...
from warm hugs to cold
glares... from having the
best of times together
they couldn't even
tolerate eachother...
that was a rough phase
for both but thanks to
their wives who had
revived their frienship
making their lives even
more beautiful.
writing a note for Aisha he kept it at the bedside
table and left for Arjun's
house.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
he rang the doorbell, the
door opened and a ball
flew out and hit his nose!
he screamed out in
surprise... looked like his
mischief man was back.
he walked in to find Riya
in the kitchen and Arjun
running behind his 3 year
old son Aarav...
after a while Arjun quit
and slumped on the couch when he noticed Sameer was standing
the threshhold grinning.
Arjun sprang up and went
to greet him..
"abe! tu kab aaya?"
they hugged and went
and sat on the couch
"bas abhi! aaru kaha
gaya?"
Arjun stuck out his tongue
at Sameer which made
him laugh..
"chupa hoga yahin kahin..
naye hideouts k baare me
sochraha hai... Policewale ka beta hoke choro k nakshe kadam pe chalraha hai!"
Sameer mock punched Arjun"s shoulder...
"kya yaar! Bachcha hai bichara... Aur tujhse to ache bade log bhi bhagte hai"
Sameer teased Arjun and they laughed together.
Hearing the noise Riya comes out of the kitchen and watches them sharing a good laugh.
She smiled, it was a treat to see the friend back in their old form.
"Arey! Sir aap kab aaye?" Riya asked Rathode as she came out of the kitchen..."bas abhi abhi Riya.. Aarav kahan hai? aur tumlog kab aye ye to batao"
before Riya could reply Aarav came running and jumped onto Sameer's lap startling the three and making them laugh.
"chaaachuuu dekho na! papa hametha mudhe bhagate rehte hai doodh k liye mudhe nahi peena"
Aarav complained to sameer
"par beta agar aap doodh nahi piyoge to strong kaise banoge... aapko papa k tarha banna hai na.. toh doodh topeeni parhegi.. thoda sa pee lo"
sameer coaxed Aarav while he kept shaking his head
Sam signalled riya to bring the glass of milk.
"nhi mudhe aap jaitha banna hai"
little Aarav piped in after a whie..
at that Arjun roared at laughter and Sam ruffled Aaru's hair.
Sam made Aarav drink the whole glass of milk then he and Arjun left for the jog.
**************
after almost an hour she woke up... she got up to find the space beside her empty she looked at the bedside table and there w a note for her..
going for jog with Arjun..
will come back in an hour.
love you jaan
she smiled at the note.. "love you too sam" she whispered.
she looked down at her huge belly. caressed it.
"love you too baby"
The day went on, in a very hectic notion for Sameer & his team, the case concerned arms dealing & ETF were almost on the verge of losing due to the absense of Aisha's expertise & experience on field.
had it not been Riya's clever thinking of keeping Aisha in contact through their phones, they were sure to fail,
even with Arjun's out of the book thinking.
as a husband Sameer strongly objected having his 9 months pregnant wife stress at home, alone, but ACP Rathode couldnt shrink away from his duties...
He reluctantly let Aisha work.
**
Being stranded in the house away from action freaked Aisha Rathode, she needed to be there, punch a guy in the nose or knee his private hard or even recieve a full blow in the stomach that was the kind of girl she was, staying i.e resting in the house was not her cup of tea..
"Kahaa phasa dia sam ne muj-"
"Aaarrh"
she was cut off by her own scream
before she could know anything her big belly was full of knives & it ached hard.
in 1 moment she was dreaming violence, in the next she writhed in pain.
Before it killed her, she grabbed her phone...
**
"LP, dying"
Sam's phone buzzed, just as he returned after nabbing that arms dealer and was preparing the charge sheet.
he looked over the file to his phone, which had just buzzed, he flipped it open, It said 1 message from "jaan"
"LP Dying?" he mumbled, now what does that mean?
he was pondering over it when Liza walked it with another file...
"excuse me sir wo -" she stopped midway when she noticed Sam wasn't even listening...
"Rathore Sir?" she said a bit louder
this time he looked up
"kya hua sir aap bohot tensed lagrahe hai..?"
"kuch nhi liza, wo Aisha ne ek msg bheja hai, LP dying aur ab mai callback karraha hu to utha bhi nhi hai.. "
"LP dying?" liza reapeated.. she thought and after a few seconds it dawned..
"O my god Sir! we need to rush! usse labour pain horaha hai."
"what!" sameer exclaimed as he jumped off his chair and almost ran out the door with liza on his heels..
while Sameer was driving Liza called Shree and asked him to inform everyone that they were taking Aisha to the hospital and that they should directly reach there...
++++++++++++
(Sam's POV)
I barged into my house to find her sprwled on the lounge floor, clutching her stomach, I couldn't see my wife, my Aisha in this state, I am grateful to Liza for accompanying me for I wouldn't have known what to do..
she instucted me and I did, and finally I picked her up and we zoomed to the hospital... she completed the formalities while I couldn't do anything but stare at the double door operation theatre, I9 felt numb... I couldn't process what was going on...
I just nodded when she whispered to me everything would be okay even better...
Arjun and Chotu gave me a big hug, just what I needed at the moment...
All my team was here, they were our family, friends...
both mine and Aisha's parents had called, sending love and blessings for their grandchild... for my baby..
after three hours of endless wait we all heard a cry, My baby's cry, it reverbrated through the hall and something warm and fuzzy flitted in my heart.. it was the feeling, the joy of becoming a father.. I heard everyone suddenly wolf-whistling,and hugging...
Riya and Sakshi cried, silent happy tears falling while a smile plastered on their face, Liza, shree, chotu bickering while my bestie just grinned at me ear to ear..
after a few minutes a nurse came out with something white in her hand...
"Bachche ka papa kaun hai?" she asked, I went forward.. suddenly they all went quiet, staring or rather oggling at the little thing in her arms.. she smiled, "congratulation! here, your daughter" she said handing my child over to me, my daughter.. I looked at her face, It was all pink, her cheeks rounder than pumpkins, her big browns wide at she took in my face... "recognise Papa already" I cooed and she broke into the bost beautiful smile ever.. I held her to the crook of my neck, and waiting for the moment to freeze, this was the one of utmost joy and peace.. Aisha, my love was still sleeping, no problem, I would check on her later.. when she wakes up we would share the moment...
I looked at the happy faces of my team, they were so happy for us..
And for all the joys of the world, I thank my wife Aisha, My baby and ofcourse Our Baby, Ameera Rathode!!
THE END!!
