The feeling of being a mother pulls out every bit of selfishness form your heart, it makes you feel like wet clay, just ready to mould in the way the child would be best pleased with, and that is what nupur did. Everything she thought would embarrass her child was eradicated from her life, it was In this phase that she realized that it was not money that she longed for – she longed for the feeling of wholesome completeness, and that is why she felt happy near mayank, because he used to fill the holes in her life, and with the arrival of her child, the tiny fragments left were also filled. She felt happy, content and satisfied.

"think again nupur", mayank looked at her skeptically but she quickly signed the papers, "don't make me to think again mayank, I have come to this decision with a lot of difficulty, thinking again will weaken me, I do not want any money, because for me, my husband can earn", she said looking down at the papers. He needn't look at mayank, because she knew he was smiling.

Mayank sometimes used to get amazed that how did he made this girl step out of her covers, looking back didn't really show that he had done some extra ordinary efforts, he just showed her love and she melted. His eyes brimmed with tears thinking how much love she needed, how much deprived she was .. that night he hugged her very close to her, promising to give her very drop of love she was ever deprived off.

"mayank ..",she murmured irritated and he loosened his grip, "what happened?", he asked concerned, "you were suffocating me", she glared and embarrassed mayank bit his lip, "sorry, actually I was just ..

He softly kissed her head and placed their entwined hand over her stomach.

The feeling of hugging nupur over whelmed him everytime, a dream he used to laugh his head off was finally coming true. He said a silent prayer and closed his eyes, and nupur was snuggling more into his warmth and love, waiting for their child. – It was magic in her life – and it was Real.
