Some time later when she too laid down next to him he asked her," Khushi, the baby will love me, right?" she turned her neck towards him, it was impossible for anybody to not love him," of course. Why do you doubt that?" she questioned back.
He nodded his head in agreement," hmm he's my flesh and blood so obviously he'll love me." The bias that he held towards blood relations often disturbed her but she kept silent about it because she knew his sisters earlier didn't value him considering he was their step brother, he still held that grudge against them somewhere," Arnav ji, relationships are relationships. It doesn't matter if people are related to us by blood or not." This time he turned his neck to look at her as she continued," for instance daadi ji, is related to you by blood but Aman is not. However both of them are close to you."
Those two relations were the only relations which helped him to survive and face this world, he never denied that but that didn't help him to ignore what happened with him in the past so much so that he lost faith in himself and in the people around him," do you think I'd be a good father?" he forgot that he would not only have to be the father but also the mother of his child.
She was cent percent sure that he would be a wonderful parent," You're an excellent grandson, brother and friend. And I have no doubt that you'll be a great dad too."
His lips broke into a smile, she always managed to lift up his down spirits, no matter how dark the situation was she succeeded to bring in that small ray of hope for him. He didn't know how and why she had this enormous trust in him.
" you know sometimes your blind trust in me, scares me."
She shut her eyes and said" don't be scared I know you won't let me down."
" how can you be so sure?" he asked in surprise.
" well you love and trust people with your heart and your brains. And I like to follow my heart."
Love? He didn't know but surely he was beginning to trust her, her thoughts, her point of view which was why he had started to share his innermost feelings and fears with her. He turned his back to sleep and said after closing his eyes," I'm also quite sure that you'll continue to look lovely even after putting on weight. And I am saying this from my heart."
She blushed on hearing him and bit her bottom lip.
