Chalo hota hai hota hai... Aur mere saath kuchh jyada hi hota hai... I usually get deflected from my POV...
Another usual day of her life... another usual sunrise... she woke up as usual to find herself in arms of her husband... her Saab... who was in deep slumber while protectively and lovingly wrapping his arms around his wife... His Nakku... The day was usual... but there was something unusual yet soothing feeling... She was feeling butterflies in her stomach... not due to thoughts of their love making session last night... Oh it was also usual every night... But today's morning was usual yet different... There was a different type of happiness and satisfaction in her soul...
She opened her eyes only to look at his face that shadowed looks of an innocent child... Smile crept on her face in awe... But to her surprise he too smiled while in his sleep... She felt as if he has caught her thinking of him... Brushing the thoughts she decided to start her usual day... His deep slumber was broken as she wriggled to get out of his arms... However she was trying her best not to disturb him... but his sharp senses were enough to wake him up even if she sighed in her thoughts... He opened his eyes and looked at her lovingly... He noticed a glow on her face... Both talked through their eyes and understanding her plea... he removed his arms to free her...
She smilingly drifted to the edge of their bed to get off it... She lowered her feet to touch the floor beneath and straightened her legs to put her weight on them... but as soon as she pushed herself to standing position... She felt blood rushing off her head to her lower body... She felt that she would fall to hit the floor any moment... But found herself in protective and strong arms of her husband...
His eyes followed every moment of her since he freed her from his arms... This usual day... he found something unusual... an unusual glow on her face which was followed by her inability to stand on her feet... He acted faster than a cheetah... and caught her before she could fall ad hurt herself... She was not completely unconscious... She could feel him and his restlessness... He laid her one bed and started shouting for Aayi Saheb and other family members...
Withing few moments whole family had gathered in their room and encircled around their bed where Nakku was lying... She was better but still she was not allowed to get off to refrain from repeating the whole episode of fainting...
Everyone was worried about her health... Meanwhile... a team of doctors arrived which was called by Baji on instructions of his Bhao...
Dutta was getting more restlessness as the doctors were performing tests on her... He was continuously asking them how much more time will they take to assess the condition... to which Aayi Saheb was continuously assuring him by patting his shoulder that everything will be alright... As restlessness and anger along with worry about his wife started ruling his brain... He rushed himself out of the room... He didn't want to create scene in front of his wife whom he loved to death and who was on bed after fainting due to unknown cause... Baji who was already outside the roon tried consoling him...
After some time team of doctors came out of the room happily only to announce that he will soon be a father... His restlessness and anger flown away... He didn't know how to express himself... But worrying about his wife... only words that came out his mouth were if his wife was alright... Doctor assured him that Vahiniji was fine... She was a bit weak due to lack of iron which has been prescribed and handed over to Baji... Further asking him not to worry the team of doctors left with Baji who was also delighted that his childhood friend will become father and he a chacha...
Dutta rushed to their room only to find her still lying on the bed and surrounded by the female members of his family... He covered his excitement afraid that soon he will be teased by every member of his family if it showed up on his face... Keeping his straight face he stepped towards the bed... All the faces present there turned towards him with a smile... Before any word came out of any mouth... Aayi Saheb gestured everyone to leave room to give couple some time alone... All nodded their heads in agreement and motioned to leave the room... Aayi Saheb stroked her head and patted her cheek lovingly before leaving the room... While on her way out... she patted Dutta's shoulder assuring him that everything is alright... to which her son also assured that he understands... and finally left the couple alone...
As Nakku saw Dutta approaching towards her... She lifted herself to sitting position... Dutta rushed to her to help her in same... Both looked into each other's eyes assuring each other... if one was fine... He took her hand in his hand and while stroking tried to ask her something but the word that came out of his mouth was 'Finally?' This one word question pushed her thoughts to their past... The past she never wante to remember... but somehow its shadow lingered upon their married life till date...
She could picture that day... the day when she was ready to sacrifice her one-sided love for her Saab... the day her Saab was to get married to that betrayer Supriya whom she honoured and gave respect referring as 'Tayee'... that inauspicious day when her Saab was cursed by that old lady not to have successful married life... not to have any child... She was shocked... and her soul was shuddered... It didn't matter if she didn't get her love... it didn't matter whether her Saab gets married to Supriyya or any other woman on earth... but if... if that curse would come true... She would also living same pain as her Saab would live... However everybody brushed off that cruel sequence... but it showed its colours very next day when Supriya eloped with her boyfriend from the marriage leaving her as scapegoat... Since then she had to very tough time to prove herself... her innocence...
Finally her Saab had accepted the facts... apologised to her and accepted her as his wife... But still there was a hitch in her brain... She had already observed that a part of that curse had shown its effect... So was worried that the remaining part will also try to hinder her life with her Saab... She had discussed these worries with her one and only friend and mentor... her Aayi... who rubbished off... She tried to show her daughter the positive part that came along... She explained her in her own way that it was Bappa's wish... a way to help her achieving her true love which she... her Aayi... had once told her to forget about... She told her not to worry about any curse and have faith in Bappa...
Her mothers way of thinking had filled her with confidence... but same curse doomed her life when she wasn't able to give her Saab the most precious gift... a baby of their... It had been 7 years since they had been trying to... but every hour... every day... every month... every year... passing... left them lessening their hopes... But she kept her faith in Bappa... And finally her prayers were answered... Rather than cursing that odd fruitless 7 years... she wanted to devour every next moment in her life with her Saab... with her family... Remembering the word family... a picture of her Saab... her husband... holding a delicate little baby protectively in his arms emerged in her blurry vision... which left a smile on her lips...
Seeing that smile on her lips... Dutta called out her name... Nakku... which brought her out from the ocean of thoughts... Remembering the Single syllable question asked by her Saab... She answered similarly in single word... but with different expressions... a nod of agreement... an affirmation felt in her voice... 'Finally'... He also smiled in response and took her in his usual protective and loving embrace...
