Raman hold ishita tight before she fall and said -ishita, ishita, ishita. He was calling her but she wasn't responding. He picked her in his arms and said -someone call the doctor please. He shouted in worry when a lady came out and said -sir, main doctor hoon.
Raman look at her with questioning eyes.
Lady -i am ur junior's wife, Main Doctor hoon, I can check ur wife.
Raman -yes please come, he said and she went with raman. All followed them.
All were waiting out of the room while the lady was checking ishita. She came out and raman asked -hows my wife now, kya hua usse?? He was asking when she said -sir, ur wife is absolutely fine. It's a good news, ur wife is pregnant and u r going to be a father. She said smiling making Raman pleasantly surprised while all smiled happily.
All started hugging Raman congratulating him while he was just standing like a statue not able to observe the good news.
Doc -sir, aapne suna. Aap papa banne wale ho aur ma'am mumma. She said again making Raman smiled fully.
Raman -meri wife, my ishita, woh maa, OMG, can I see her.
Doc -ofcourse, she is waiting for u. She said and Raman ran inside happily. He entered the room and saw her looking at him smiling.
Raman smiled fully and said -i can't believe this, jaan. I just can't believe this. We r going to be parent, tum mumma, Main papa. Isn't it great, it is great. He said and happily hugged ishita. Ishita too hugged him tight and both smiled fully. He kissed all over her face not able to control his happiness.
Raman -tumne mujhe duniya ki sabse badi khushi di hai, jaan. I love u, I love u, love u alot. He said happily and hugged her again.
Both stayed together for sometime and then ishita said -baahar chaliye, everyone must be waiting.
Raman -haan chalo, sab intezaar kar rahen hai. He said and both went out.
Ishra went out and everyone started congratulating them. Ishra were just thanking everyone when one of the junior said -sir, iski toh alag se party honi chahiye.
Raman -let the baby come itni party dunga that u guys will get bored of it. He said happily hugging ishita while she just rested her head on his chest.
Ishra were happily hugging each other when their MD said -sorry to disturb u two but I want to clear one thing beforehand. Agar ishita yeh pregnancy continue karegi then I will not promote her. He said making Ishra shocked.
Raman -yeg kya keh rahen hai sir??he asked all shocked.
MD -sahi keh raha hoon raman. If ur wife will continue this pregnancy toh main usse CEO ki post nahi de paaunga main,kyunki meri yeh company nayi hai and I want someone who can work hard for this company and a pregnant lady can not do it for sure. So if u guys r going to continue the pregnancy, I will revoke the promotion of ishita. Sorry, I know u people will feel bad about this, but I can't do anything. Nothing personal, it's pure business. He said with a straight face while ishra were hell shocked hearing this, at one side they were happy with the news of their baby's arrival and on another hand they got sad hearing MD's words.
MD -i know raman, ishita did much hard work for this post and I truly believe that she deserve it but sorry I can't give such big responsibility to a pregnant lady. Sorry for ruining ur happiness but I can't do anything in this. Toh tum dono soch lo ki tum dono ko kya Karna hai. Yeh opportunity bahut badi hai and I think this news is not that big infront of it. Tum dono decide kar lo, kya karna hai. Hum baaki baatein uske baad karenge. Agar abortion karwana hai, he was saying when Raman look at him with shocked eyes.
MD -i know raman, u must be hating me this time for suggesting u abortion but trust me the bahut badi cheez nahi hai. Bahut log karate hai but joh mauka tumhari biwi ko mil raha hai woh sabko har baar nahi milta. Bachche ka kya hai, it's in ur hand, but aisi opportunity, u won't get it always. Anyway i can only suggest, Aakhiri decision tum dono ka hoga. Will wait for it in the conference room tomorrow. Yaa toh ishita ko uski mehnat ka phal milega yaa phir, tum dono soch lo. He said and went out of the place. One by one all the guest went not knowing what to say.
Only ishra were left,
Ishita -kya soch rahe hai, Raman??
Raman -kuch nahi, actually pata nahi. He said and went to his room. Ishita went behind him to talk to him but he went to change taking his clothes. He sat in the bathtub and start thinking about MD's words. Being a CEO, he knows well how much big the opportunity is and he don't want ishita to loose it. But on another side, he don't want to loose their first baby either.
Raman -kya karun main, kya decision loon. Mujhe meri bachchi bhi chahiye aur ishita ki khushiyan bhi. Kaise laaun dono ko. He was thinking .
After long ,he came out and saw ishita sitting on the bed caressing her tummy.
Raman -i have decided, we will abort the baby. He said making ishita shocked.
Ishita -kya, we will abort the baby??
Raman -haan ishita, Maine bahut socha. He was right, yeh opportunity bahut badi hai tumhare liye. Isse aise jaane nahi de sakte. Tumne bahut mehnat ki hai iss post ke liye and I don't want to be selfish. Yahin toh success hai jiske liye ek din tumne mujhe chod diya tha, now I don't want u to leave ur success for our baby, I know thodi takleef hogi but we can plan the baby later, abhi I think tumhara career jyada jaruri hai. He said to which ishita didn't said anything just nodded.
Both settled side by side, Raman faced the wall and was thinking about their baby. Tears start flowing from his eyes, he was feeling too bad for killing his first baby but he don't want to kill his wife's happiness too for his happiness. He don't want to make their baby a burden for ishita. Lost in his thought he slept.
Next day, both got ready and reached office in time.
MD was waiting for ishra to know their answer. Raman was about to say something when ishita said -may I??
Raman nodded and ishita said -we thought on ur words sir, sahi kaha aapne aisi opportunity baar baar nahi milti. And this is indeed a big opportunity and we don't want it to go.main bhi yahin soch rahi thi aur phir raman ne bhi kaha ki aisi opportunity baar baar nahi milti, so I have decided finally to what to choose. She said smiling while Raman closed his eyes feeling bad.
MD -glad u choose to continue as the CEO aborting ur pregnancy, he was saying when ishita said -u r getting it wrong sir, I was telling about the opportunity or say the blessing of becoming a mother. Yeh har kisi ko nahi milta, so I will go with it. Aapki company mein CEO ki post, offer bahut tempting hai aur main karna bhi chahti thi but apne bachche ko sacrifice karke nahi. Mera bachcha mere liye utna hi important hai jitna mera career. Infact usse bhi jyada important, so I am sorry sir, but u can offer the post of CEO to someone else, kyunki main abhi maa banna chahti hoon, CEO nahi. She said making all look at her.
MD -r u sure??
Ishita -absolutely, never been so sure ever before.
MD -bahut badi opportunity chod rahi ho tum.
Ishita -trust me sir, I am grabbing the bigger.
MD -as u say,we will look for another candidate.
Ishita -can we go home sir, our celebration is pending.
MD -yes sure. He said and ishita took raman with her.
Through out the way raman wanted to talk with ishita but she was telling him to reach home first.
At last they reach home and Raman said -why u did so?? Maine kaha tha naa??
Ishita -haan aapne kaha tha, par jaruri nahi har baar main sunun aapki. Raman Aap bahut achche hai, par itna achcha hona achchi baat nahi hai. Mujhe pata hai hamara baby aapka kitna bada sapna hai. Mere sapne ko pura karne ke liye apne sapne ko yun todna, it's not good.
Raman -i was OK jaan.
Ishita -but I wasn't, yeh mera bhi baby hai raman. Main usse maar nahi sakti, apne career ke liye toh bilkuo bhi nahi. I want to give birth to our baby, khud ke liye, aapke liye. Hum dono ke liye. Aapki godh mein aapka baby dena chahti hoon, raman.i hope u will let me do this. She said cupping his face.
His eyes turned moist and he said -thank u jaan,tumhe keh toh diya tha abortion ke liye but sach keh raha hoon saansein nahi le paa raha tha.
Ishita -aapki saansein cheen kar kaise jee paati main, boliye. Khabardaar joh kabhi aisa kiya dobara, I will not spare u. She said and hugged Raman tight.
Raman too hugged her tight happily that finally they r going to have their first baby.they called amma -appa and informed them. They were also too happy with the news.
Next day, they came to meet ishra. They blessed Ishra and Raman insisted them to stay with them. At first they were denying but when Ishra started insisting them, they decided to stay with them.
Slowly time started passing, ishita was enjoying her pregnancy while all were busy in pampering her. Raman use to spend all his time with ishita taking all care of her, fulfilling all her weird cravings.
Slowly Ishita's baby bump start showing making Ishra baby to no end.
The day Ishra felt the first movement of their baby was such big for them that Raman sat beside her whole day just to feel the baby's kick. Ishita was happily enjoying Raman's cute antics.
At the starting of her seventh month, they planned a huge baby for ishita. Everyone came and blessed ishita.
Finally the day came, ishita gave birth to a healthy girl making Raman happy to no end. He was literally dancing taking the new born in his arms while ishita was just smiling seeing raman so happy. Amma appa was also too happy seeing ishra so happy.
Ishita -shaadi ke din aapko chod kar joh galti ki thi raman, aaj shayad uska prayaschit ho gaya. Aapko yeh khushi de kar Maine apne gunaah ki maafi maang li.aur aapki iss khishi ke aage kitne CEO ki post value less hai. I am too happy that I can give u ur family, our family. She was thinking when Raman came to her and said -i love u jaan, this is the best feeling in the world. Taking ur baby in ur arms.
Ishita -and what about ur jaan, mujhe bhi hug chahiye.
Raman hugged her happily and said -whay we will name her??
Ishita -aap bolo, waise bhi she will be papa's princess.
Raman -maine socha hai Ek naam,ruhi.kaisa hai.
Ishita -perfect, just like my raman. And beautiful,just like ur ishita and cute, just like our Ruhi.
Raman smiled and said -tum khush ho naa??
Ishita kisses his temple and said -i am the happiest, Raman, to have u beside me.
Raman -and our baby in our arms. He said and wrapped his arms around ishru happily while ishita just rested her head on his chest happily feeling contented.
That's all, here I end this story. Hope u all enjoy it. Do like and comment, will wait for it.
