thank you for being so patient

4 months before

Annie Khurana had been elated and excited for getting chosen as the judge of a reality base model hunting show. What she loved the most was that the show was not for the elite class of society but was more focused on the middle and lower class section. She along with 3 other judges have to visit few government colleges of cities like Nagpur, Ahmedabad, Bhubhaneswar, Raipur, Kochi, Gurgaon and Madurai to encourage the talent out their. In the first round, the girls had been asked to wear something from their closet and then the selected 10 out from those will be given designer dresses to show case. In judges, their was a combination set of an elder and a youngster to let the feel of experience and newness collaborate. Where two judges were the dress designers, two were grooming experts.

It had been an amazing journey so far. Geet thought while sitting infront of the canvas that was now holding the pic of a bride having her face covered with ghoonghat. She still have to give few final touches to this 4th and the last piece. The final was about to held in Delhi and on Annie insistence, she had drew pictures of four models in dresses given by Annie. The same dresses the top four finalist were going to wear in the finale. She basically had to drew the dresses and keep the face covered with ghoonghat in various states, like standing, sitting on a side or on floor. It was a challenge, Geet never had taken before but that Was the thing which encouraged her to do it anyway. Annie was pleased with the result till now.

Just as she was about to start reviewing, a maid came inside her secluded paint room and informed about Shaina's arrival. Geet was waiting for it. Just a month and a half back, Shaina gave birth to a beautiful black eyed girl, whom they named Aliya Aryan Khanna. Ally in short, was the Heart of the house now. Where Maan, Aryan and normally kid's refraining person Rajveer cant do anything but adore her, Annie couldnt help but dress her up in every cutest pair of dress she can get a hand on. Shaina was still adjusting to her new life schedule of waking up at night and taking naps rather than a peaceful sleep and was having black bags under her eyes, Geet couldnt help but love her Sister more day by day. Motherhood suits her and her interaction with Ally, just melts everyone.

Packing up her things, Geet quickly took hold of her dupatta and rushed out to the car where Shaina was waiting for her. "Hey...you are late...hello little angel Geet complained before touching Ally's chubby cheek with her finger. "Ally thought it was nap time and forgot about Moma's appointment with the doctor Shaina happily passed on the infant to Geet who quickly snuggled up into the crook of her arm as the driver started driving towards the hospital. "She is getting adorable day by day... Geet awed and Shaina just took out the baby bag to prepare her milk formula before Ally starts to cry. "I just hope she doesnt get fever after having injection otherwise I will not have any sleep at all...Last night was already adventurous cause of Aryan's departure Shaina complained after caping the feeder and putting it in a holder. "They will be back tomorrow... Geet comforted before an idea struck her. "Shy, can your doctor do a check up without appointment? I haven't been to a gynecologist in a long time... Geet asked generally as Shaina handed over her bottle and put away the bag. She knew Geet love holding little baby for as much time as she can. Leaning back on the seat, she closed her eyes and replied,No, I think it will not be a problem. Dr. Ahuja is very cooperative and helpful. I dont think it will take much time for you to meet her even without an appointment. And then an idea get into Shaina's head as she peeked from One eye and teased. "Anything exciting I should know about? Geet bit her lip and smiled in affection. "I would have smacked you for teasing if I wouldn't have hold Ally... "Nothing serious but I just thought, its better to get checked and get some advice about irregularities She explained as slowly as possible so the driver wouldn't catch it. Shaina nodded as she decided to enjoy the peace for a while as Geet lost herself in adoring Ally.

As said, the doctor didnt make her wait long. After filling her form, Geet just had to wait half an hour as the next appointment was cancelled and she was accommodated. In the privacy of doctor cabin, questions were asked, concerns were explained and a list of test were given to Geet which she submitted right into the lab. The reports needed a day to be made.

The same night, Geet's heart keep on fluttering with every single imagination that was circulating in her head. Finally, not being able to hold it anyway, she decided to blurt it out.

"Maan" she called softly while sitting with her legs up on the bed. Her delicate fingers constantly playing with her mangalsutra.

"Hmmm... Pressing the keys on the laptop, Maan distractedly replied as he was busy in making a report.

"I think...I might be pregnant" Her breath stopped momentarily for his reaction

"Hmm..." *still distracted* and then, suddenly, the bulb clicked.

"What?" His wide eyes, the surprised look on his face made her laugh.

"I said I think I might be pregnant" she repeated just to annoy him whereas a twinkle in her eyes shine so brightly, Maan might have loved her more at that point, which was earlier impossible for him.

"I thought I heard that" he said and then in an instant, he was up and were pulling her up too for a hug. His hands holding her tightly for a bit like she is a precious possession and then getting soft as if any harder, and she can break.

The moment stilled for them.

Words were too less to express his feelings.

Emotions were so strong, he thought he might start to cry if he speak. And she let him stay there, in her arms, feeling the intensity of the occurrence for the first time with him.

Yes, this was their chance. This was their day. This was their moment which will never be surpassed by any other thing.

Later Geet had told him about her doubts of being pregnant, She told him about her visit with doctor and that she already had the tests but he couldn't wait another day. He couldn't take a moment. He couldn't take the suspense and so He rushed out and grabbed 4-5 home pregnancy tests from nearby pharmacy. He stood outside the door, while she took the test, was standing beside her while waiting for the results to show, and was holding her securely in his arms when she was too afraid to look down on the strips. But he needed to see. Peeking down, he had hold his breathe before it wooshed out in a chuckle and then, he was lifting her up, crying out loudly.

"It's Positive...They all are positive...You definitely are pregnant"

And once again, New colors set foot into the earlier colorful life of the Khuranas.

Present Time (6 months later from chapter 38)

He came out from the airport and was followed by two of his body guards who were already present in the city and were there to greet him. "Are they fine?" He questioned straight away, handing over his luggage to the driver to put away. The worry had left an temporary mark to his face. "Yes Sir...Geet maam and Annie Maam both are fine...since the time we have been alerted of the danger, we have never let them get away from our sight". Rajat informed and open the car door for him to settle down before taking his place in the front. "Any more phone calls, Sir?" He inquired further as the car was set on motion. "No...But I think something is not right" Maan scratched his forehead in dismay before taking out his mobile and quickly going through his gallery pics to get on the one, he will cherished forever. The pic that was providing him solace in every difficult situation. It was a screen shot of a moment that he wanted to save and cherish forever. A moment that has became the ultimate savior of his sanity in hard times. A moment that was the cherry on the top of his ultimate joy. Always.

His lips curved into an indulging smile. A smile that was so reserved for the ones, he loves and he surly loves this little one who has not yet born but has already created his/her space in his heart. Has already shown its presence in the way Geet was showing off the small bump right in the 19th week of her pregnancy.

He was amazed how just a month and a half back his whole way of living changed with the announcement of these little ones.

Twins.

She was carrying the twins. And he was the first to see the ultrasound image surly after the Doctor along with Geet.

The look of shock, the brown wide eyes, the slight O of her lips which later turned into one of the most amazing smile: He doesn't think he could ever forget that face of her.

His life seemed to get another direction. A new motivation. And for the love of God, he was not going to let any threat take that away from him.

And someone surly need his a** kicked.

Just few hours back, he got an anonymous mail just stating.

"The life of your two loved ones is in danger. You can save only one. Choose carefully. All you have is 5 hours"

He wouldn't have taken that message seriously if in attachment, he wouldn't have found the latest pics of Geet and Annie from the Ahmedabad. He acknowledged them due to the dresses they were wearing cause Annie had send them their pictures just yesterday. The winner of the talent hunting show was going to walk the ramp for the first time in Ahmedabad and Annie had asked Geet to come with her as Maan was busy with his meetings and work in order to wrap up the things quickly. Also, Geet found that this can be the only time she would be allowed to travel before moving further into her pregnancy and be bound to house and bed.

Someone was following them.

As Maan thoughts lead him back to reality, he felt truly agitated due to every other factor causing distance between him and his wife and sister. Be it the traffic, the signals or just plain road crossing pedestrian.

Finally after 20 minutes long journey, the car got parked infront of the hotel, Geet and Annie were staying. He quickly got out and followed Rajat who straight away took him to elevators and pressed the desired floor button. His hands twitched hoping to grasp the time as the lift moved up. Moving out, Rajat quickly knocked the door and stepped back, letting Maan lead.

She had just put a pizza slice from last night in micro to warm up when the door knocked. It was quiet early for Annie to get back so her lips twitched while moving towards the door. Just had she unlocked the door, it was quickly opened from outside and in another sec, she was engulfed in a strong embrace. Stunned she tried to move away, when the voice erupted against her neck. "Thank God...Thank God you are fine". "Maan..." She was astonished but let him stay against herself for a moment before backing away. "What's wrong? Why are you here?" She immediately asked as just last night, he had informed her that he has some important meetings line up for today. "A threat has been made" He said simply before taking out his mobile and showing Geet the referred email. He paced unable to stay at a place until she was done reading. "I wouldn't have taken this seriously unless that person would not have sent me your pics. Someone is following you and Annie, Geet. My people are trying to locate the IP but I have to check on you and her...". Forgotten about the food, Geet quickly moved towards the sofa to grab her shawl. "Lets go." Knowing that arguing with her would be fruitless, Maan let her accompany. Beside, he would have been worried about her otherwise.

-------------------------

Annie was checking over the contestants before the shooting starts when they faced an electricity loss. "What the hell?" She mumbled and moved out from the room to call someone. She made it to the storage room when she was harshly pulled inside by the hand and pushed against the wall. Before she could make a noise, a hand clasped her face. "I told you honey, you will pay for your deed and... you are so going to." Annie fidgeted in the arms of her captor being scared to death and tried to kick him with her legs but he was a strong man who knew how to keep her in place.Enclosing her body between the hard surface of the wall and his chest before held her right hand up. "Now you will know how to just control your actions" And the next instant, she felt a sharp pain in her hand. Unable to utter something in shock, she looked at her right hand to see her wrist slit and blood rushing out from it. Unable to hold herself anymore, she felt dizzy and fell on the dusty surface with a thump.

---------------------------

As Maan and Geet reached the studio site, the crowd gathering outside in hurry informed them of some mishap. Quickly jumping out, Maan ran in full speed towards the main entrance. Each second he prayed that Annie be alright, that he be wrong, that his intuitions be wrong. But the harsh voice of Roy pushing people away reached his ears and he stilled. "Get away...Get away..." Roy was shouting while holding a bleeding Annie in his arms. Rajat, who was following Maan a moment back, took command of the situation and rushed to help Roy. "What happened?" Rajat inquired. "I will tell you later...We need to rush Maam to the hospital." Roy replied still moving as quickly as he could while holding Annie's lump body. Maan came out from his trance by Geet's shaking hand. "Maan...Maan...hold yourself and move...Annie needs you." Still stunned, Maan nodded as tears clouded his eyes but pushing them away, he moved briskly back to the car. He took place in Annie's car holding her head in his lap while Geet followed them in another one. She was scared herself but she needed to stay strong for Maan. For Annie. All through the journey, she kept on praying for Annie's life. While Maan, felt each of his breath shorten with passing second. NO, he can't lose Annie for anything.

He can't let that happen.
