~~Part 5~~
?Where is Milind?? Prachi asked as she sat at the dinning table for breakfast he had gone for his morning jog and was not at the table and it was unlike him. She looked over at Rani as she poured tea for Prachi.
?Sir is back from his jog and went to his room!? Prachi nodded and turned over her plate and looked at Rani as she understood that ?Memsahib was goin to wait for Milind sir before she eat?
?Rani?.hurry up im late pour my tea!? Prachi looked over at Rani as she stood frozen and stared at Milind approaching??.as she turned she to was surprised?. As a clean shaven man appeared holding his suitcase.
Milind looked at them both as they looked at him?
?Ahem!? he said loudly as Prachi took hold of his plate. ?Rani poured the tea and left them at the table?. Prachi looked over at him as he ate while reading the papers?it was the normal routine he read the paper while having breakfast and it was so silent.
?You have shaved?? she whispered as she heard the newspaper crinkle in his hand as he turned over.
?Yeah! I though some changes need to be made and?? he put down the paper and looked at her.
?It looks nice!? she whispered smiling as he narrowed his eyes at her.
?I am not cutting my hair!? he said picking up the butter toast in his hands.
?No! that?s fine!? she said smiling as she picked up her tea cup.
?Dr Armaan called yesterday?. mentioned we need to see Dr Sapna and have like a 12 week scan?.I?ve have made the appointment and picking you up?later this morning..? he said as she nodded.
?I can meet you directly there ?.i know how busy u have been?? he would come home late and go to bed straight in his room trying not to disturb her at all?.but during the night she found him asleep on the armchair in her room? Unsure why he was scared to sleep in the bed with her?.when she probe him he clam up and avoid her?.thou he was changing slowly.
?NO I will pick you up and take you in person ?you and the baby are my responsibility?? he said firmly getting up..
?SIR!? he turned to see Ali and smiled.
?Mishra ji is ?on the line!? Milind nodded taking hold of the phone.
?Sir!? Prachi noticed how he clam up and be so tense talking to his father and looked at him going pale.
?Sir ?draw up the paper work?with the lawyers?it is fine! I do not want Vikram Mishra share of the property?. your assets are purely yours sir?. I will have the empire I have built and made millions of ?.No Sir I am not being unreasonable, as I own 60% of the shares and you have 20%???..? Prachi looked over at him as he placed his hand threw his hair?..hearing a anger voice on the other end of the phone she looked at him looking uncomfortable.
?Milika gets nothing from ME! I have the copies of the legal documents?she gets nothing from me and I get nothing from her?.she signed them before the wedding?.what ever deal you had with her father is between you?Has nothing to do with me and you have no signed document from me,,,.? Prachi noticed him raising his voice as he got up.
?Fine Sir! Good bye!? She looked over at him as he threw the mobile across the room.
?I am not paying alimony to Malika?she signed the pre nuptial agreement before the wedding ?which clearly states she gets nothing if we divorce?Vikram Mishra want to divorce me as his son!?.Fine!! Ali make sure he understands where his loyalty should lie?he owns 20% of the Shares and I want him off the chairman seat in the board room?Make sure the other share the other stake holders are informed? whom they should be loyal too?.In fact buy out the shares at any cost?? Prachi looked over at him as he walked out of the house talking to Ali about the matter.
?So much anger?? she whispered looking over at Rani getting the dishes.
?I don?t blame him?he was order to marry that churali and she never loved him?.used his house like a hotel ?.all she did was grunt at him and then like order him to sign cheques?.as she hosted parties and slept around with other men?. He?s like so turned off on women?.His own mother hated to even look at him and his wife was a carbon copy?.? Rani stopped looking over at Prachi as she picked up the dishes.
?Sorry ?I just rambled on sometimes?? Prachi looked over at Rani leaving and sighed as she got up?.
As the days passed by she heard stories from the staff about Milind child hood and how even today his father would just call him to speak to him?.As for his mother when he got married she told Vikram to tell them to move out?.Mishra limited would have gone under ?if it was not for Milind? She looked over at his photo and saw nothing but unhappiness in his eyes?they where so dull. He wanted a child to cherish and love ?.but Prachi was unsure she could leave her child which she carried to such a man and was having second thoughts?Day by day the thought of her baby crying and the way he was screaming to his own father?.an uncertain feeling was creeping in?.What if he re married again? So many questions?.I need to clear my thoughts with him she said to herself as she looked over at his photo?.I talk to him after the appointment?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
?Milind started at Dr Sapna as she placed the machine on Prach?s flat stomach?he notice she was not showing and have been meaning to read the books he brought but had not had the time and cursed himself silently?.
*thump thump * he looked over at Prachi and he took hold of her hand?
?Wow its so fast?? he whispered looked over at Dr Sapna smiling?as she looked back at the monitor?
?Hmmm baby?s heart beats are normally fast?..wow look?? Milind stared at the scream to see a white ghost like outline and a heart beating?.Prachi looked over at his face and saw a smile?. It was the first time he smiled and he looked so handsome?as she noticed a lone tear run down his face.
?It?s a health baby boy?.everything is normal with the baby?.Prachi your blood pressures a little high?? Milind looked over at the monitors Prachi was attached to and looked at her?.she felt his finger tighten around her hand and looked at him and smiled weakly.
?I?uh?.I am fine!? she said turning to see Dr Sapna.
?I am going to order some blood samples just to make sure? is there anything worrying you at all?? Milind shifted his weight in his seat as he looked over at the nurse whipping the gel of Prachi stomach as looked over at the doctor taking the needle in her hand? Prachi looked over at him looking pale.
?Milind?? she whispered looking at his eyes widen seeing the needle
?I cant stand needles ?? he said closing his eyes. He opened his eyes to see her giggling as she looked over at him?he frowned looking at her? Have you seen the size of the needle and you laughing?? he said looking at her.
?Milind Mishra is scared of needles it is funny?? Milind narrowed his eyes at her as he felt her hand squeeze his and noticed that the Dr was taking blood..
?It?s ok?.Look at me!? Prachi said looking at him getting pale again as he turned to look at her?.Prachi looked at him and smiled as he looked at her?
?Were done!? Milind shifted back into his seat as Prachi smiled seeing the plaster on her arm.
?We get the results by the end of the day?.Mr Milind! I am writing some folic acid and other vitamins so make sure she takes it daily?. Prachi glass of milk daily?. Milind looked over at Prachi pulling a face.
?Stick to a nice healthy diet and I see you next month?? Prachi nodded as she got of the bench and looked over at Milind as he helped her get down.
?Mr Milind?here you go!? he looked over at Dr Sapna as she handed him the prescription and an envelope?Milind nodded as he helped Prachi with the shawl.
?Milind im hungry?? Prachi whispered taking his arm
?Have you not had lunch?? he asked as she shook her head.
?Have you?? she whispered as he shook his head.
?Come on we get a late lunch I know a place not far from here?? Prachi looked over at him as he placed his arm around her? Prachi placed her hand on her mouth and ran to the ladies as he followed.
?Prachi?? he stood outside the ladies room in the clinic?What wrong with her?
?Why do they call it morning sickness as im like throwing up most of the day?? he looked over at her moaning as he took hold of her arm.
?Are you ok? I mean what happened?? Prachi looked over at him as she closed her eyes.
?Morning sickness?. though I?m feeling sick in the morning and anytime during the day?? Milind put his arm around her and pulled her close to him
?Thank you?.I?m unsure of what is happening to you but I admire and respect you for doing this for me?? Prachi looked over at him a little taken back as she pulled her body into his mould as they walked out the clinic?
Milind looked over at her as she ate?.Normally when he was out for a women it was like salads and she was like eating food of his plate and he looked over at her taken back as she spoke about her childhood which he wanted to hear about ?.
?Ok you think I am a pig!? she declared placing the napkin on the table?as he had finished 30 minutes ago and was staring at her?
?You eating for two?its ok! I can order something else if you??
?No I think we both done?.I?m feeling better?.?
?We?re not done! ?? Prachi looked over at him as the waiter arrived with a tall glass of milk?.he looked over at her face as she frowned.
?Doctors orders remember!? he said leaning back into the seat.
?You are enjoying this I bet!? he raised his eyes brows at her and curled his lip back looking at her.
?Ok since you are the father ?you got to drink with me other wises im not having it at all?? Prachi said folding her arms at him as he signalled to the waiter
?Mother happy! Baby happy?.and if the baby happy so is daa?? he mumbled?Prachi looked over at him as his face softened.
?Daddy?? his whispered
?It me today?I am like carrying life inside me..? Milind looked at her surprised as he felt the same way too?as he saw the image on the monitor.
?Do you have that envelop?? he nodded reaching inside his jacket pocket.
He looked over at her moving her chair around to him?as she opened the envelope?he looked at her and gasped.
?Is that?? he looked at her nodding.
?Yeah our baby?s first photo?? she said looking at the black and white photo?outlining the baby?
?He so tiny and fragile?? Milind said placing his hand on the corner of her chair as she moved closer to her and looked at the photo?
?Milind ?.?
*Ring Ring * she looked at him leaning back and taking hold of the mobile as he listen?He saw the frown on her face and sense something was wrong as she shifted her seat back to where it was as she picked up the glass of milk?
Prachi was not keen on the milk but she had to keep her end of the deal and placed the glass to her lips as she looked over at Milind talking on the phone?as she looked away and saw a couple sharing a romantic moment near them and looked at another couple as she saw a young family having lunch together? Milind was looking at her closely and not paying any attention to Ali on the phone.
?Hmm?.Ali I see you in the next couple of hours ?.i just take Prachi home..? Prachi looked over at him as he ended the call.
He looked over at her in the car as he drove she was all every quiet
?I called Dr Riddhima Gupta this morning?Your fathers health is improving?? Prachi looked over at him as she stared at the road.
?Yeah I spoke to him?he wants to see me?I told him I be home soon?? he glanced at her as she looked tearful.
?Your father and you are close?? Prachi heard something in his tone as he looked at the road.
?Since my mother died couple of years ago we kind of gotten closer?.? She said feeling a lump in her throat.
?I am sorry? you must miss her..? he said unsure what to say.
?yeah I do! ?I miss them both!? Milind looked at her as he changed gears.
?Milind I want to talk to you?? she said nervously as he nodded his head.
?I have an urgent meeting and be home late?.tomorrow I will be at home all day and I need to spend time with you?.I know you like feeling a little uneasy and all?so I tied up a few things in the office and we got the whole day to ourselves?.? She looked at him stopping the car outside the house.
?Thank you?.? she said opening the car door.
?I should say thank you to you?..?
?So you be home soon!? he looked at her puzzled
?No one ever asked me when I am coming home and ?.it feels nice!? he said looking at her.
?You are my husband so I will be the dutiful Indian wife?? she giggled looking at him as he just looked at her as she got up from her seat.
?No one actually bother or cared?I will try to be home soon! Bye!? he said looking at her as she looked at him taken back.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Milind stared at the photo of his son as it like sunk in today he was going to be a father and he remember her throwing up and remembered the baby development book he had in his draw ?
?Ok I should read this stuff?other wise I?m going to be clueless about the whole thing?? he said opening the draw?
?Sir!? Milind looked up at Ali entering his office.
?It getting late we should go home?? Milind looked over at the clock and it was approaching midnight and nodded.
Milind walked into his bedroom and yawned as she sat on the bed and reached for his shoes?..hearing I muffled sound he got up and narrowed his eyes and opened the bedroom door to investigate?..the noise was from Prachi?s room and he opened the door slightly?he walked in and she was not insight..
?Prachi?? he cried out as she stepped into the room looking worried?as he turned to the bathroom he looked over at her head in the sink?.he rushed into the room and looked at her dressed in a knee length pink nightie?she was being sick and he placed his hand on her back
?AGGHHHH!? she screamed jumping out of her skin! Her pulse raced as she looked over at him towering over her.
?Prachi it me!? he said gentle moving closer to her
?You scared me!? she whispered catching her breath back.
?You scared me ?.i was calling out for you and?? he looked at her she was still pale
?Are you ok?? he asked looking at her turning of the running water.
?I just been sick?.again!? he followed out of the bathroom as she sat on the bed.
?My body like changing and I kind of feel like ?no one cares!? he looked at the tears running down her face.
?I?m like stuck in this house and have no one I can talk?.or say like I feeling off and..? he looked over at her turning and taking hold of the pillow and sobbing..
?I am sorry!? he said moving closer and sitting on the bed.
?I feel like everyone treating me like I?m sick?and avoiding me?I?m not sick at all this is not a disease I?m still me u know?? he looked at her with her hair covering her face and gentle tucked the stains away to see her face.
?No one ever spoken to me like you do?.I don?t know how to respond!? he said looking at her.
?I?m scared I might upset you or hurt the baby and?.don?t know what to say not good with words and emotions?? Prachi looked at him as he spoke so gentle as he looked at her?. He looked over at her moving towards him and placing her head in his lap?as he looked so alien feeling her eyes looking up at him
?Can we just talk if your not tired?? she asked as he nodded his head.
?I?m feeling scared!? she said looking at him
?Why?? he asked looking at her.
?Baby is like coming and in the next couple of months my body like changing in so many ways?I?m scared off being alone through it all..?
?You have me!? he said gentle placing his hand on her hair?feeling the soft velvet lock of her hair running thought his hands.
?Milind you never speak to me openly?.and I?m scared of leaving the baby with you!? she closed her eyes she said it?.

?Fine I where some bottoms?? he said looking at her
?I make you a respectable man out of you yet?what baby say seeing you parading around the house naked?? she said giggling he looked over at her and smiled.
There was something about her he was like drawn to her when he came home and he liked talking to her as he was like not scared to be himself.
?Tomorrow we like talk about a nursery and baby names?? she said looking at him getting into the bed.
?Sure! What ever you want!? he said looking at her turning of the light near her.

?Ok! Milind?when I leave you will marry ?I mean baby will want and need a mother?? she asked as she felt his arm around her pulling her closer.
?I guess maybe ?.Prachi you will always be special to me? he said lifting her chin as she felt his fingers in her hair again.
?Really how special!? she whispered closing her eyes?feeling his warm breath on her face
?I scared I hurt you Prachi?? he said kissing her forehead.
?You would?.? She whispered pulling him closer to her arms.
?I asked Dr Sapna we can still?.? He looked at her bury her face in his chest and smiled.
?You sure?? he asked still not sure as she moved his hands down her back as she pulled her waist into his?as he kissed her hair ?feeling her lips on his chest.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Milind smiled as he looked over at her asleep next to him as she looked over at the clock it was midday and he grinned remember what happened last night and the early morning?he never felt this ?.it was as if they had connected in a different level totally?.he looked over at her and turned pulling her closer to him.
?Go to sleep!? she moaned with her eyes closed
?Ok sweet ?? he kissed her gentle on the forehead
?You do know it 11:30am?? he whispered as she moaned.
?We have spent like all morning me bed!? he added as he turned to face him
?I feel sleepily?and hungry!? she said closing her eyes.
?Ok you stay in bed I get lunch?? he grinned getting up.
?Make sure you get some clothes on!? he looked over at her and grabbed his bottom which lay on the floor next to her pink nightie?
Milind made his way down the stairs smiling as he walked to the kitchen
?MILIND!? he turned and looked stunned
?Malika what you doing here??
?I AM PREGNANT!?
~~Part 6~~
Milind stood outside in the garden and sighed closing his eyes and he thought about what had happened as he sighed deeply and recollected Malika in her awe as she marched around the house and told him how excited she was as he watched her.
"Milind?" he opened his eyes and saw Prachi approached him on the small bridge and stood next to him wrapping her shawl around her in the cold chilly air...as he looked down at the water in the pond.
"Do you want me to leave?" she whispered looking at him as she lowered her eyes ..as he looked up to her and looked at her hand on the rail.
"No! Malika is gone!" he said looking at her?as he placed his hands on hers.
"But she is pregnant and all?" he looked at her looking shocked as he smiled.
"It's not mine?." She looked at him stunned.
"Come on inside it's cold?" leading her inside he took her inside.
"Don't look so confused you are the woman chosen to have my child?not the Malika's of this world?i have not touch any other woman but you in the past 6 months..." she nodded her heading looking at him.
"Go to bed Prachi ?.i will be there ?" she looked over at him walking away.
Milind closed the door to the study and looked over at his computer ?pressing ctrl-alt-del.. and logged on?
Armaan,
I have seen all types of women in my life and today I saw something, I never saw before and woman desperate and she threatened to kill Prachi and the baby. I am fearful now as they're so much at stake now.
I will see my lawyers in the morning and will be tightening up security to the house and business. For the first time in my life I am feeling weak and I don't know if I can handle this? but for some reason I have a feeling you will never let me down.
Milind
Clicking send he sent the message?as he looked at his inbox he saw the emails from his father and the emails from Jaichand Industries Malika fathers company all demanding money and for him to honour the contractual agreement. ?leaning back in his chair he closed his eyes?.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Proteek?" Prachi held the phone in horror.
"Prachi I miss you and love you!" she closed her eyes feeling her tears running down her cheeks.
"I miss you too?" she said trying to compose herself as she griped the plastic holding it to her ear.
"How are you?"
"Proteek I am fine ?.how are you?" she asked
"Dieing without you?I miss you so much?" hearing him sobbing she closed her eyes as her tears ran down her face.
"Proteek?I am in Shimla ?come to see me?" she pleaded
"Milind will not let me see you?. he has thrown me out of the company and security is so tight that I can see you?" he sobbed
"Where are you? Proteek I will talk to him?"
"No Prachi don't ?you don't know his temper he will be angry at you and all?"
"But Proteek ?I miss you and want to see you?"
"Just say you love me baby?" Proteek pleaded desperately
"I love you?" Prachi looked over at the door hear a noise and saw Milind standing at the doorway looking at her??.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Armaan?" Riddhima looked over at him as she sat down in the canteen next to him as he looked so spaced out.
"Is everything ok?" she asked as he looked down at his coffee not answering her at all.
"Armaan?" she said ?looking at him he was never like this normally he would tease her about something?
"Basket? Sorry I was miles away?" he said smiling at her as she looked at him
"Hmm Dr Malik not like you?" she asked looking at him.
"Oye hoye?Basket sound concerned!" he chuckled looking at her as she shook her head and picked up her coffee mug.
"I knew ...It was to good to last ?Armaan Malik silent!" she said looking at him as he smiled at her.
"What would you know about matter's of the heart?" she looked at him taken back as he placed the coffee to his lips
"I'm a heart specialist?" she stated looking at him as he chuckled
"Basket! Basket?my sweet dil ka doctor!" she looked over at him as he looked at her and sighed placing a hand on his heart as she rolled her eyes at him.
"Ok I am going?" he took hold of her hand as she turned to look at him
"No No....Chill sit down?may be you can help me?" she looked at him as she released her hand and sat down as he smiled.
"I have a friend.." she looked at him and raised her eye brows at him as he looked at her.
"It's not me but a friend.." he said looking at her as she looked at him with those spell bounding green eyes
"Ok so this friend? Of your ?.what his problem?" she asked looked at him as his dimples deepened.
"He has this dream he wants so badly to come true?but he like discovered love?and is so confused!" he said looking at her as she looked at him
"So whats the problem? Is this dream worth not finding love?." Armaan sighed looking at her and smiled..placing his palm under his face and looked at her.
"The woman he loves?.loves someone else!" he looked at her face as she frown as it disappeared as she thought about the dilemma.
"hmmm tuff one huh?" he said looking at her as she nodded.
"Shame he cant tell her the truth?that he loves her?"
"I don't think it's hit him yet? as the baby will be arriving soon" she looked at him stunned?
"Omg hes married and his wife loves someone else? man that got to hurt!" Riddhima looked at him stunned.
"It's complicated?not as simple as our love story.." he said looking at her widen her eyes.
"Our what?" she said looking at him as he smiled at her.
"love story?. girl hates guy?guy loves girl?and girl playing games and all?" he said looking at her narrowing her eyes at him.
"Yeah right ?.I don't love you Dr Malik?You been watching to many bollywood films?"
"I know ?we still at the girl hate guys part?Interval not come yet?picture abhi baaki hai dost" he chuckled as she got up from her seat?
"Ha ha very funny....I hear you goin to Shimla Dr Armaan?" he got up and nodded.
"Yeah I be there tomorrow?Will you miss me?" he said looking at her as she smiled and walked away?
"oye hoye?" he picked up the file and walked to the desk?
The baby would be arriving any day now and Milind was sending him emails daily and he could not help but feel for the man? I guess money can not buy everything?Thou Milind had made sure Inder treatment was the best money could find? he knew how distort Milind had been he discovered that Prachi was so deeply in love with Proteek? But Armaan was not sure about Proteek as Milind told him that he was paying him off to stay away from Prachi? But for how long?
"I guess I need to go and see that is happening with my case?" Armaan turned off the light to his office and headed for the door?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Congratulations it's a Boy!" Milind placed his hand through his hair and looked down at Prachi as he held her hand? she looked so week as she leaned forward and hugged her ?feeling his lips on her forehead and cheeks she looked at him. Longing for his lips to meet hers as he looked down at her smiling and turned.
"Milind!" taking hold of the baby he looked down at the baby..it was a new birth for him now too...
"My baby?" Prachi looked over at him as he walked out the room without her seeing the baby?
Armaan looked totally confused as he pulled down the surgical mask and looked over at Prachi in tears and back at the door flap shut.
"She can leave now?right?" Milind looked over at Armaan shaking his head at him as Milind held the baby close to him.
"He needs her to survive and she him?" Milind looked confused at Armaan.
"He need her?for another few months?milk and all?first few months are vital for both mother and baby to survive..." Milind nodded as he looked at Armaan move closer to him as he took hold of the baby.
"In fact Junior need both of you?what ever difference you have for each other needs to be put aside....for the baby you have to make it work?for a little longer.." Milind looked over at the baby in Armaan arms?
"Few months right.." Armaan nodded his head winking at the baby in his arms?
"Come on Champ ?lets go and see Mummy?.Come on papa?" Armaan said leading the way know Milind would follow him as he looked at the baby.
"Don't worry Champ?Your fairy godfather is here?lets see if we together can sort out a happy ending??" Armaan whisper pushing open the door?.
Milind looked over at Prachi as she cried in joy kissing the baby as he looked at her bestowing nothing but love to her child?
~~~Part Seven~~
Feeling the baby in her arms fast asleep she looked over at him…he looked so like his father that same button nose and the black very small hair on his head. As a lone tear ran down her cheek she shifted her weight on the bed pulling her son close to her bosom… "I don't have much time…and what time I do have …I give you nothing but love…" she mumbled placing her cheek on his forehead…
~~Flash Back~~
"I am sorry I did not mean to disturb you…" she looked at him walking into the room not making any eye contract as she held the phone with her heart racing.
"Prachi.." gripping the phone with her stiff fingers she looked over at him walking to the wardorde and open the door….she looked at him hid into the door of the wardrobe facing her as she blinked hearing Proteek voice.
"I will call you soon Proteek….goodbye…" she whispered as she looked at him closing the door holding a towel in his hand.
Not saying a word she slowly placed the phone on the receiver and looked at him leaving the room and entering the bathroom…. Feeling her heart race unknown if he had heard her she closed her eyes and placed her hand on her forehead and closed her eyes…
Feeling his body as he lay next to her she felt alienated by him as he hardly spoke to her and just turned away from her which she never seen him do before as she moved closer to him and placed her arms around him….she felt his hands removing her hold and stared at his back… "I have had a long day and am very tired…" his voice boomed around the room as she shifted back to her side of the bed…
As she looked over at the bed in the early hours of the morning it was bear….and she looked over at morning sun and did not what to feel at all as the guilt from yesterday seeped threw every core of her body …getting up she enter the bathroom and looked over at herself in the mirror. He is my husband and I need to tell him the truth … 'Yes I love Proteek tell me how I can not as he been there for me thought my entire life as a good companion, how am I to forget how he supported me threw everything?? Thou Milind you are my husband you will always be the first every man to have ever made love to me…and touched me in such away… and your kisses are so different so full of passion then anything I have ever felt in my life. I always thought Proteek kiss my first was special but every time you kiss me I'm drawn into something I cannot describe at all… I don't know what I am feeling at all and may be this is because of the baby that I'm deeply connected to you…. I have to talk to him about this and explain my actions as his wife I owe him the truth….' She thought feeling the cold water on her face as she left the bathroom….
"Rani where is Milind?" Rani smiled looking at her as she placed the teapot on the dining table.
"He left told me to tell you he had some urgent business and has gone to Delhi will be back in a week or so…" Rani looked over at her facial expression change as she looked so sad about the news.
"Please don't worry he be back soon…." Rani added seeing her smile back at her.
"I have an appointment today and…." Prachi added looking at Rani smiling weakly holding back her tears as she hurt him badly and knew it.
"Ok Ji I make sure the driver takes you. Not to worry he asked me to take care of you as he hired a nurse also to assist you…" Prachi looked at her taken back by the news.
"Nurse? Thats news to me…" she asked looking at Rani buttering her toast.
"Yeah he was leaving and then said as he is away he should hire a nurse to take care you as he does not know what he doing…" Prachi nodded as her eyes watered.
"Thank you Rani…. That be all!" she added firmly picking up the phone.
*ring ring *
He looked over at the mobile flashing baby and placed it to his ears. Hearing her sobbing his heart raced as she felt nothing but her silence on the phone.
"I am away on business and will be back soon…. So please don't worry!" he said quickly
"I need to talk to you and…"
"There is nothing to discuss once the matter is settled I free you of this burden and all…Please do not get upset …it not good for the baby" he heard her silence on the phone and gripped the phone.
"This is all my fault Prachi….I have took you away from those who love you and will make it up to you I promise….My flight just arrived and im heading to the gate ….once I sorted out matter I be home soon."
"I have appointment should I wait for you?" she asked know it was better to speak to him about the whole truth in person.
"No No attend ….Dr Sapna will fill me in….Take Rani with you when I get back I hire a nurse!" he said firmly.
"Ok please come home soon!" he stopped in his tracks hearing her voice. No one had ever said that to him ever and he was stunned by the way she said those words as he looked over at the large panel of glass looking out towards the large planes sitting on the tarmac gripping the mobile
"I will goodbye…" he whispered feeling something inside him break like never before……
~~End of flash back~~~
Prachi looked over at the baby stir as she held him with tears running down her face as she remember how he came home and distance himself. He moved out of her bedroom and informed her that he need to make sure she rest as he was up most of the night working…. She tired to object but he was not having any of it…. He went with her to attend appointment with her and was silent as she took hold of his hand threw the examination. He would smile and reassure her as they heard the baby's heart beat…As he was preoccupied in the construction of the hotel and she was feeling emotional she notice him walk into her room as she sat reading or surfing on the internet in her room. Nothing was the same it was all a mess…for the past 7 months it was all a wreak…..
"Prachi!" she looked up to see him enter the hospital room as she gentle place her hand on the baby's forehead as he walked over holding a massive winnie the pooh balloon and flowers for her.
"How you feeling?" he asked cursing himself for being so insenative as she gave birth to his child and he never looked at her once caught up in the moment that his dream had come true.
"I'm still tired I guess…." She looked over at him as he looked at the baby.
"He so beautiful…so looks like you…" he said placing the flowers on the table at the end of her bed.
"He got you nose…and hands…he is his fathers son!" she looked over at him smile and eyes filled up as he moved closer to them… She looked over at him as he not changed his clothes in the last 24 hours as he looked like he was tired too.
"I spoken to Armaan we can leave and go home tomorrow!" he whispered looking at the baby fast asleep in her arms. He looked so at home with her and understood that his son need his mother as no one else could do this…
"Milind can you hold him, I need the rest room!" she said looking at him as he smiled moving forward.
"Watch his head… his neck muscles are still fragile.." Milind nodding feeling the baby in his arms.
"Prachi he's so tiny!" he whispered looking at her as she struggled getting up from the bed.
"Prachi are you ok?" he looked worried as she smiled weakly at him getting up.
"Yeah I'm fine …" he looked at her moving towards the bathroom as he looked over at the baby asleep in his arms.
"I have been a bad husband and father….I will make sure your mother gets everything she deserves …I promise!" he said placing his lips on the baby's forehead.
Prachi opened the door to the bathroom and looked so stunned at the sight before her as she saw Millind fast asleep on the bed holding the baby so close to him as she smiled walking slowly towards them. Picking up the blanket she placed it gentle on top of them as she looked over at the armchair and sat down staring at them fast asleep….
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Ahem… Ahem!" opening his eyes he looked over at Armaan towering over at him as he smiled at him.
"Armaan?" he yawned and felt the baby in his arms and pulled him closer as he was still asleep.
"Bed is for the patient…" Armaan whispered looking over at Prachi asleep in the armchair as Milind looked in the same direction and looked at her. She was in her night suit and was asleep looking so uncomfortable in the chair.
"Now if we can let both mother and child rest….While daddy goes home! Showers and makes the arrangement to welcome his new family at home!" Armaan said firmly as Milind got up and looked over at him. Prachi opened her eyes to see Armaan taking hold of the baby and placing him gentle in the crib.
"Baby sleeps in the crib…and Prachi is too nice to tell you that you need a shower you been here for over 24 hours….go home refresh up and rest…then come back here with dinner… I know you will not eat until you are with your new family. Have you even asked your wife if she hunger?" Milind looked over at Armaan as he scolded him and it felt nice no one spoken to him like Armaan and it was touching as he found a good friend.
"Armaan?" he said looking at him as he looked firmly back at him.
"Milind leave and I see you in 2 hours!" Armaan said looking at him
"Armaan?" they turned to see Prachi getting up as Armaan stepped forward and took hold of her arm helping her to the bed.
"Prachi are you ok….I need to do my check make sure you are fit enough to go home tomorrow and all…" Prachi looked at him and nodded.
"Milind was just leaving!" Armaan added looking at him looking sad.
"He can stay …he looks fine and I don't mind him sleeping in the bed and all…" Armaan smiled looking at her sit on the bed, which was a mess due to Milind.
"Spoken like a true wife…. But Milind need to ensure the nursery and you are looked after at home tomorrow and I'm sure he like to make the arrangements himself…and he need to shower to because of the baby….Hygiene is important I don't want Champ tell me Dad smells and all…" Prachi giggled looking over at Armaan and looked over at Milind who did not looked amused at all.
"Champ?" she asked looking at Armaan.
"Just like his father he will be the best….Ok now I have to examine you Mrs Mishra then Champ….Im sure papa will make sure he got something nice for you to eat as it will be feeding time soon….and as mummy gets stronger so does baby!" Armaan looked over at Milind as he nodded…
Milind walked over towards Prachi as Armaan went to the small sink to clean his hands.
"Is there anything you want…" he asked placing his hand on her back and looking at her.
"Can you get me so warm clothes im feeling a little cold in this nightie …please!" she asked as he looked at her.
"I get Rani to pack a few things for you and the baby….do you want me to get a nurse!" he asked looking at her shaking her head.
"No she drove me mad last time and thank god I got rid of her….I can take care of my baby…" he looked at her and nodded as he looked over at the baby.
"I be back soon with everything…" Armaan smiled he looked at Milind kiss her forehead seeing her blush as she placed her arm around his waist and pulled him close to her… he noticed a weird look on Milind's face as he broke away. Prachi loved him and it was so obvious as she would stare at him and him her…. yet Milind was hesitate and withdraw at time. Like he did not know what to make of it all. He looked at Milind moving towards the crib and leaning down kissing the baby….Armaan watch Prachi closely as she looked over at him leaving the room.
"Ok Mrs Mishra shall we….I'm sure your loving husband be back soon…" he said looking at her blush as he chuckled.
"He so gentle and kind…." Armaan looked over at her looking at the door as he placed his hand on her stomach make sure she was on and there was no signs of infection.
"He a nice guy….i feel for him sometime…he does not know what love is…as he never had it…must have been hard for him as he always used in one way or another…" Prachi looked over at Armaan as he covered her up and placed the blood pressure kit on her arm.
"I know yet he does everything with his heart…you cant help but to fall in love with him…" Armaan looked over at her blush as he smiled.
"Have you told him?" he asked looking at her shaking his head.
"hmmm why not?" Armaan asked placing the stethoscope plugs in his ears.
Prachi looked over at Armaan as he pumped the blood pressure kit and place the head of the stethoscope on her arm….as she felt the kit tighten she looked over at him looking at the apparatus as she felt the tightness releasing she looked at him.
"Your blood pressure is high….I get the nurse to keep an eyes on it while you are here…" he said picking up her chart.
"Armaan….do you love someone?" she asked looking at him as he looked at her
"There is someone…"
"Have you told her…." she asked looking at him as she shook his head.
"See it like that I am scared too….what if he think I want his money and all…since he think everyone has a motive…I am scared!" he looked at her and placed the chart close to his chest.
"I'm planning to tell Riddhima I love her….when I try to we end up fighting over something and she tell me she hates me….but this case is different all I can tell you is Milind never knows love and you've been given a second chance at this….so tell him before it's too late…." Prachi looked at over at him as he headed for the door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Get rid of it! I don't want this child!" Milind stopped in his tracks as he looked over at the half open door and saw Malika in the hospital bed.
"Madam this baby need you to survive or it will die…" Milind looked over at Dr Sapna stepping forward looking at her.
"Look I gave birth to the god forsaking thing….now get it away from me…" Milind closed his eyes as he heard them harsh words before as he looked over at Dr Sapna picking up the baby from the crib.
"Your daughter maam needs you…" Dr Sapna said again pleading as Malika looked away felling sick.
"Her father was a cheap son of a ***** promised me the world…told me to leave my husband and then when I told him I was pregnant he dropped me like a ton of bricks….as for my husband he divorced me the god for nothing….I have nothing to offer this child threw her in some orphanage for someone to raise…I am heading back to Mumbai to live my life …if papa finds out he will kill me and cut me off ! I told him im in Europe….I never want to see her face again…" Milind stepped away from the door seeing Dr Sapna heading for the door with the baby in her arms…
Hold Prachi things in a bag with the packaged picnic bag after seeing such a display he pushed open the door to Prachi's room to see her with her back to the door feeding the baby…
"Hush little baby don't you cry pops gonna buy mocking bird…" she soothing voice filled the room as he looked at her in awe. Here was a mother loving feeding her baby and there was another mother casting hers away. He made the right decision Prachi was the only woman how could have his child…. But he had to release her now as she would want to go back to her life with Proteek. He would discuss the divorce arrangement when with her at home… He looked over at her as she placed the baby to her shoulder and gentle rubbed his back.
"That's my good bacha ….soon as daddy comes I be able to feed you in another 2 hours…" she whispered hearing a gentle burp.
"Prachi?" she turned looking at him as she closed the door gentle and headed towards her with a smile.
"Clothes and food!" he said placing the picnic bag on the table and her bag on the bed.
"Milind can you hold him…" he nodded coming forward as he looked at her taking the baby.
"Prachi you look pale…" he said placing the baby quickly in the crib near the bed.
"I'm ok ….I'm just…" he looked at her getting up as he took hold of her in her arms.
"I'm tired …" she whispered as he held her in his embrace.
"Ok why don't you get some sleep and I watch Champ…" he whispered picking her up in his arms as… he placed her on the bed…
"Milind can you hold me please…" he looked at her and nodded. As he pushed of his shoes and looked at her getting in the bed.
Feeling her head on his chest he looked at her as she held him closely and hearing a cry from the crib …lifting his head he looked over at the baby who looked at him with a smile… it was the first time baby had smiled as he looked over at him wide awake in his crib on his side looking at his father with a smile…. He shift himself of the bed closely not disturbing her…she was exhausted and knew she never moan and carry on but her body was deceiving her this time…. As he looked over at the baby he smiled as he to was fast asleep… 'I will look at both of you' he thought looking at them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Milind knocked over at Armaan cabin and enter the room to see him hold a baby in his arms.
"Angel ….I would have you! If I could…." Armaan whispered tearfully as he kissed the baby as he held the bottle of formula to her mouth.
"Armaan?" Milind looked over at him as he wiped the lone tear from his cheek and smiled.
"Everything ok?" he asked moving forward as Armaan smiled weakly at him.
"Sure Milind! What can I do for you?" he asked looking at him and back down at the baby.
"The baby?" he asked taking a sit.
"Oh the sister looking at her keeps crying and Dr Sapna a little upset and making arrangement for this one…So Dr Armaan taking care of her…" he said looking at Milind. Milind looked at him and knew she was Malika baby.
"Prachi she not well….im worried about her!" Milind said looking at him.
"Just worried?" Armaan asked looking at him.
"Yeah she like exhausted and ….I don't know what to do?" he said seeing Armaan chuckle.
"I suggest you take care of her …this time…like any husband would! She needs her husband support and love.." biting his tongue he looked over at Milind looking at him blankly.
"Armaan?" Milind looked over at him as he looked down at the baby in his arms avoiding his gaze.
"Are you married to her legally and all….she is your wife! So I think its high time you acted like one…. Milind at this moment her survival depends on you…and your childs depends on her…. " Milind was taking back by his harshness and looked at Armaan taking the bottle out of the baby's mouth and place it on the table.
"Look at this baby …she has no one…as far as her mother is concern she dead to her…Her mother told the nurse to threw her in the waste bin when she was born…and you have a baby you want who needs a mother. Prachi sobbed uncontrollable when you walked out with the baby from the delivery room….like thousands of mothers out there she yarned for a glimpse at her child and we have a few mothers who don't want to see there baby's face… as they born out of sin and cast away. Go! Look after that precious family of you're Milind ….you don't know how lucky you are…" Milind looked over at Armaan getting up and placing the baby on his shoulder. Looking upset holding the baby as Milind look at him and leaned back in the chair.
"She is Malika baby?" Armaan looked at him surprised
"I can not disclose anything ….Milind to Prachi and champ…" Armaan said rubbing the baby's back.
"Armaan…" Armaan shook his head.
"She belongs to no one and Dr Sapna is looking at someone who will have her…I suggest you leave ….once I'm finished I come to see you…" Milind looked over at him getting up and walked over to the door.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Milind looked over at the limo from Prachi hospital window as he watched Malika jump into the limo ….as he drove off away from here. He turned and looked over his baby and at Prachi who was feeding him.
"Prachi why do some women don't want to look at there children?" She looked over at him surprised by the question as he eyes looked so confused.
"I don't know….Maybe because they child reminds them of pain and they don't want to get attached and all…Im not sure?" she replied looking at him stepping forward towards her.
"Do you love your baby?" he asked as she looked at him taken back by the question.
"Yes! He precious to me…" she whispered holding back her tears.
"Please don't separate him from me…" he looked at her as she cried as he sat near her on the bed. Feeling his finger on her cheek she closed her eyes as he looked at her.
"I will not…. You are free to leave when you want too….I will never ask you too…" he said gentle as she opened her eyes to look at him.
"Let me burp him …I feel left out not knowing what to do as you look so natural holding and feeding him…" Picking up the baby she placed him on his shoulder…
"Just rub his back gentle …to wind him!" she whispered as he shifted his weight towards her….Feeling her finger wrapped around his arm he looked at her leaning against his free shoulder as she closed her eyes resting…. As he rubbed the baby's back…his thought where on Malika baby…. Here he loved his child unconditionally and looking at Prachi she did too… as he heard the baby burp he kissed his head and smiled holding him….
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hmmmm Champs grow so much in a week…" Prachi looked over at Armaan as he held the baby ….as she poured him tea.
"Where is Milind?" he asked looking around the hall..
"He gone out said he be back in a while!" Prachi said handing him a cup of tea when they arrived home he shifted everything the nursery and got a massive specially designed bed into the largest bedroom in the house.
"Armaan?" he looked over at her as she sat down opposite him in the armchair.
"Milind is distance last couple of days and…." They turned hearing a baby crying and looked over at Champ as he looked over to see what to commotion was took too…
Milind walked into the house hold a baby who was screaming so loudly as he looked over at them a little confused.
"Pari….shhhhhh!" he said gentle as Prachi stood up looking over at him totally shocked as the baby stopped crying as he held her.
"Milind?" Armaan looked at him and shook his head as Milind held the baby wrapped up in a pink blanket.
"She is hungry….Rani get me a bottle!" Milind said looking at all of them as Prachi looked so confused and baffled at him.
"Everyone meet my daughter Pari!" Prachi looked over at him in horror as she stood up in tears and ran out the room as both babies started crying….Milind looked so confused by her reaction…..
