Being married for 2 years now they had developed a mutual understanding amongst themselves. She would understand his basic needs even without his mentioning them. For him, he had always understood what she wanted and he always wanted it to be like that.
He woke up and touched upon the side but didn't find her. But this was not unusual. In these two years he had seen the many sides of his jaan and one of it was getting up early so that she could be ready herself and make things ready for him'which he never asked but she always did. He was going to brush his teeth and take a bath when he heard her, something that he always wanted to be the first thing he heard in the morning. She said, "Ammy, take your shower and come downstairs. Breakfast is almost ready." He replied, "Yes Jaan, be there in a minute." He went on to shower.
Downstairs in the kitchen, she was making omelet and toast for him, which was always his favorite and something that he himself had taught her. In her mind she was thinking about the doctor's phone call that she had received yesterday while returning from work. And she was praying to God that everything turn out good because there was no one else to take care of Ammy besides her. Suddenly she felt two hands coming up and touching her belly. She knew who it was. He said, "Morning jaan" and kissed her on her cheeks. She kissed him back on his cheeks and said, "Morning Ammy. Sit. Your breakfast is ready and here it comes." She brought his breakfast on the table and turned to go around but he pulled her back into his lap and made her eat one bite and said, "I know you must not have eaten. Come and sit with me and eat." She smiles and knew this was coming. She brought coffee for him and for herself and sat at the dining table in front of him.
Armaan: This is lovely. You make it better than me now. ( she smiled at him)
Riddhima: I have learned it from you only. (he smiled at her)
Armaan: I have a surgery today with Dr. Keerti. It's a case of acute Liver cirhossis. Dr. Keerti said it's going to be tough that why she wants me to be early to discuss the case.
Riddhima: (nods) I wonder why people don't stop drinking when they already know the circumstances.
Armaan: (while eating) Yes that's why I try and tell all my patients to reduce the alcohol intake because excess of anything is just bad. (finishes his breakfast) Chalo jaan. I have to rush. Take care. I will see later. You have a long case lined up today?
Riddhima: No Ammy. Don't forget your lunch.
Armaan: hmmm.. Let's go for dinner tonight' Yes jaan I won't''..
Riddhima: Sure ..
Armaan: I will pick you up as soon as I leave from work.
Riddhima : Sure jaan. Take care.( He kisses her forehead and then leaves)
Riddhima then return to her task of cleaning the kitchen, fills her lunch and gets ready to go to the hospital. She thinks I have to meet Dr. Subralakshmi as soon as I reach the hospital. She drives to work and all the while she keeps thinking why did she call her yesterday and say that she wanted to say something to me? She reaches the hospital, parks the car and is about to go to her office when she meets Dr. Subralakshmi.
Dr. Subralakshmi: Hey Riddhima. I was waiting for you only. Come in my office. I have some news for you.
Dr. Riddhima: Laksh' Is everything oky.
Dr. Subralakshmi: ( looks at Riddhima with a tensed look) I am afraid Riddhima I can't talk anymore here. Wait until we go in the cabin.
They reached her office.
Dr. Subralakshmi: Riddhima I will just be back.
Riddhima says oky and waits for her to come back. She slowly turns impatient and starts to look here and there. Suddenly the light turns off. She worries and tries to go towards the door. The door appeared locked. She was about to scream when the hands that had always felt comforting touched her. But her reasoning questioned her. How was it possible he was at work and had a meeting with Dr. Keerti. She still took a chance and waited to see what happened next. She didn't say a word. He picked her up and lay her on the bed. She wanted to struggle to scream, but somewhere the touch had made her calm, as she sensed it to be his. She waited. Finally he spoke, "Riddhima, don't worry I won't harm you." She wanted to ask him a thousand questions as to what was he doing here, what about his meeting, and if there was no meeting then why did he lie to her but all she could do was stay still. He gently applied a gel on her stomach and she was about to say Arm.. when he sushed her and told her to keep quite for a while. She hesitated. She said, " No Armaan. Tell me what are you doing here and why did you lie to me in the morning." She was about to get up when she suddenly felt dizzy. Armaan immediately rushed to turn on the lights and rushed to her'.he took her into his arms to prevent her from falling'but she jerked his support off'
Riddhima: Don't touch me. Why did you lie to me about the meeting and things when you just wanted to be here and play pranks on me.
Armaan: Riddhima''.. I didn't lie' I had a meeting but I received a phone call yesterday and the meeting is there just not at the time I told you.
Now Riddhima wonders .What phone call is he talking about.. Did the doctor tell him what illness I have. Is that why he came rushing. He touched her face with the hand which was free. .. Riddhima I love you and I would never do something to hurt you. Now Please lay down and this will be done over with. She listened to him and lay down.
Riddhima: Did Laksh say something to you about me.
Armaan nodded while rubbing the gel on her stomach.
Riddhima: Is it serious.
Armaan: yes
And then he moved a monitor so that he n Riddhima could view it.
Riddhima: but y are u using this device. It is used when '..( she thinks of all the possible conditions like cancer, formations etc')
Armaan: Sssshhh
He tells her Ok Riddhima now look at the monitor. She looks at the monitor and sees nothing. He moves the device that he had on her stomach. She feels vibrations and hold on to his hand. He moves it all around on her stomach and then he spots it. He looks at Riddhima and smiles cuz instead of looking at it she has her eyes closed' he calls her name'. Riddhima and kisses on her forehead. Look at the monitor. She slowly opens her eyes and sees it. At first she doesn't recognize what it is but this was her profession her major.. she knew what it meant. It was the happiest moment in her life and in his. She couldn't emote she felt choked for emotions''' Armaan saw it. He took a piture of the screenshot and then removed the gel off her stomach.
She was just unable to move'. So much happiness in a moment'. It was unable to control'.He constantly kept repeating her name'''Riddhima'Riddhima'Riddhima' she finally heard it'.. n she saw his face she tried to get up and sit straight''.. she knew he loved kids and was waiting for one of his own since a long time.. but their work commitments had kept them busy and then that night that happened and this day today'. She saw tears in his eyes' She started crying herself''..She started crying and smiling'..and laughing'.n kept looking at him'. Armaan she finally said it'.He said.. Yes Riddhima''this is the happiest moment in our life'. She laughed a little' He laughed a little'and then they just let each other go into each others arms' and hugged each other''.tightly'N she said'.. Armaan,,,,'.. we are going to be parents soon'.she cried'and all this while we were planning for it and this''He broke the hug and looked at her his arms still touching hers'..I know Riddhima'he cried' all this while we were planning and this news today' I m the happiest man alive today' She smiled and erased her tears but more kept rolling on.. She kept looking into his eyes'n then fell into his caressing arms again'. Thankyou Armaan. He said.. no Riddhima thankyou' U don't know how happy I am. Riddhima said: Mom dad will be so happy to hear it.. we must tell themmm' Armaan says, " I know even Billy n mom would be glad to know about it'..we will tell them but tomorrow' today you are all mine'n I m all urs'. Riddhima says not anymore'.Hes surprised then he realized' and out baby between us'Riddhima.. I am so happy. I am gonna take the day off and stay with you.
Riddhima says no Armaan you must not do that.. go to work someones life is depending on you'..you must.. go He stopped. Hugged her again'. And kissed her on the lips''.I will try to be home as early as possible and we will celebrate'.she nodded a yes'.and then he said but before I go' he came close to her''took her hand in his'.kissed her hand'. And touched it on her stomach'. She smiled and just kept looking at him. Then she kissed his hand , touched it to the baby and touched it on his lips.n whispered love you'.. He whispered love you n left with a heavy heart'.
He opened the door and left the cabin. She was still sitting on the patients bed stilltouching her stomach with the finger he had kissed. Laksz came in but Ridz was just too happy to notice,,..
She came to her and said Riddhima'. This brought her out of the trance'.she jerked her hand' and saw her.. her best friend''the one she ever had.. and the one who had given her such a wonderful news in the best possible manner'
Riddzi is about to thank her when Laksz says'. Don't Riddhima.. thank bolke paraya maat karna'. Come lets sit there'she helpsher get down the bed and they sit in the chairs.. I wanted to tell you yesterday about this news'.but then I consulted my husband and he suggested I should do this.. I was spprehensive as to how would Armaan react but I knew that he always wanted to be father'.n it would be special for the both of you.. So I called him up simultaneously'.after I called you and told him about it and told him to keep this a surprise. I must tell you ur man is a tough person. He knew about it since yesterday but he controlled all his emotions until today.. for this special moment between u too.. Ridhhima cried out.. n hugged laksz thanks lakszz this was special for us and it ws possible only because of u'I cant thanku enuf'she nterups and says don't thank a friend..eve..r.ridzi smiled'' laksz said if u want to take an off ur most welcome.. I will take ur patients'.
Riddhima'no I think I will work'. Patients are important'n besides I would never like to burden such a sweet friend like you'.. they hug and then ridzi goes to work in her cabin'
All the time her patients sensed that she was hppy and they were happy to see her happy n when anyone would ask her dr why are u so happy she would blush and tell them that my husband is happy today n hence I am '.
After work'..Laksz went Ridzzi because she wasnted her to be safe and said that from tomorrow don't drive I will come n pick u upnnn she laughed n besides Armaan wont let u drive'.
Riddhima said no subru really its ok'. I just turned pregnant n not 9 months hehe

They reach her house'n its all dark inside. Subru says take care ridz I will come n pick u up tomm n I m sure he must hv something plnned for u n she winks at her'
She smiels and winks back says bye to her and then turns to walk towards her house. But before going in she decided t check the garage'yes Armaan car ws here that means he was home.. so she decided to wait outside' cuz she knw he must have planned something in'.
She sat on the bench and just stared at the stars'. It was so serene to look at the starts all glittering away their light to the night' she looked at the moon that was surrounded by the stars' n then she felt it'.a movement in her stomach.. she was sure that it was soemthign else cuz the baby momvent was not to be observed this early during pregnancy' she sensed maybe it was just her anxiety the was showing up like that'.She touched her stomach and it reminded her of the morning. She closed her eyes'.and remembered everything'..he was watching her from behind but didn't want to disturb her emotions'. He waited patiently'.She remembered him toucheing her stomach' his eyes'.that cried'n the words that he said'I am the happiest man alive' it felt blessed'it brought a smile on her face'' n then she felt his hand touch hers on her stomach'.she didn't open her eyes but said Armaan'and then turned towards him'Hecame close to her'.smiled and came and sat next to her' she wanted to lay in his arms.. he knew it was cold so he brought a shawl for her' and out it on her'she loked at him and smiled'.his hand and hers were still together not wanting to let the baby stay away from their touch'.She gently and gradually slipped onto his lap her head resting on his lap and he caressed her head'.with the other hand''they stay there in that silence for a long time'It was as ifall their emotions had come out in the morning and now they felt content with each other'. About this new feeling' He just touched her stomach more closely. She breathed a heavy breadth and finally broke the silenece'Armaannnn'''
He was staring ahead not looking at anything but just in thoughts'he replied.. Riddhima' they took a long pause'she looked at him directly in his eyes and called his name again..Armaan'this time he was more attentive to her voice' He looked into his eyes caressed her face and said Yes Riddhima' She kept looking into his eyes and him into hers' Finally she spoke' " Are you happy?" She knew the answer but she wanted his assurance'.. he smiled moved a slick of hair on her face behind her ear'and said' Riddhima I have never in my life been more happier than this'he kissed her hand N said N my love for you grows stronger' he smiles cuz now I have to share it with our baby too N she blushes'.he kisses her hand'.and touches her stomach again.. she again breathed a heavy sigh'

He moved his hand away' she pulled it back on her stomach.. no no I mean I love ur touch and what it does to me' but now its doing the same thing to our baby'.n then she just cried.. Armaan.. she gets off from his lap n holds both his hands in her'and asks him Armaan' promise me'..promise me that you will never leave me alone'saying this she hugs him' still holding on to his hands and just keeps on crying' she is unable to control her tears'.. Armaan lets her cry her heart out and then she wakes her from the hug'.touches her face and says Riddhima' meri aankhon main dekho'..( she is unable to look into his eyes because she is afraid to look into them)Riddhima( saying that helifts her face up )aankhe kholo(she finally opens her eyes'.. he looks into themmmshe looks into his'.they don't speak'.but she keeps looking into them.. its as if the eyes are speaking to her'.they are saying that I will never leave you alone'.Armaan speaks) main tumhe apni jaan se jyaada pyar karta hoon'..aaj tak maine tumhara saath kabhi nahin choda'..aage bhi nahin chodunga'..tum meri ho main tumhara hoon aur yeh jo ane wala hai yeh hamara ansh hai'..( he feels that she is still not assured) He says, "Riddhima tumhe mujhpe yakeen hai'(she nods and replies a soft yes)toh mere saath chalo'.(he holds her handwraps the shawl tightly around her.. and then walks her into their house''She walks in and sees how beautifully he had decorated the house for her. But he takes her away from all that near the mandir'. He asks her Riddhima tum diya chalu karooo'she looks at him and wonders but follows' she lights the diya does a prayer and then looks at Armaan'.He holds her hand and with her hand in his he bends down and touches her stomach' she wonders what is he doing'but waits for him to finish'.he then gets up n with her hand in his he puts it on the diya he brings the hand back onto her stomach,.on her head and near his heart'..then he prays along with her'.they do the namaskar to god and leave'..
