The doctor's words sounded like sweet music to Asad's ears.
"Finally we would be having our own baby", thought Asad and he knew exactly how much Zoya and he himself were fond of kids!
He rushed into Zoya's cabin to meet her. She was sitiing upright on her bed with a pillow to support her back. Asad entered the room and immediately went to hug her.
"I am so happy Zoya.Thank you for this wonderful gift."
Zoya blushed away and said, "It was OUR dream Asad, how could I not fulfil it??.."
Saying this, she buried herself in Asad's arms!
Soon Zoya was discharged from the hospital. The reason she was admitted there last night was because she was having repeated convulsions and a dizzy feeling. Plus she was pukish even at the sight of food. Asad was so worried about her that he rushed her to the hospital. Dilshaad and Najma stayed back at home while Asad stayed at the hospital that night!
Early morning, after a series of regular check ups, the doctor had broken the news of Zoya's pregnancy to Asad! Dilshaad and Najma were still unaware. Asad had decided to surprise his ammi and Najma and hence he did not tell Dilshaad anything about it.
In the afternoon, when Asad entered the house with Zoya, Dilshaad looked extremely relieved! But she was worried too! All she knew was Zoya had gone weak and hence she needed complete bedrest for the next few days!
"You don't look after yourself Zoya"-- said Dilshaad in a stern voice.
"You are always worried about others' health but you forget that you need to do the same for yourself as well! Dare you don't look after yourself. From today, I will look after your every move.Enough is enough now."
Zoya couldn't help but giggle a little! Asad too had a smile on his face.
"What kind of a husband are you Asad?? Can you not look after your beautiful wife?"
Asad had his vocabulary challenged immediately and all he said was "Ammi..woh main actually..."
Zoya couldn't control any further and burst out into a fit of laughter. She got up from her seat and went and sat beside Dilshaad.
"Ammi, why are you getting so paranoid?? I am absolutely fine! Do you really thing anything wrong can happen with me with you, Asad and Najma around? No..Never!"
Zoya's words calmed Dilshaad a bit. Dilshaad gave her back a warm smile.
"And by the way ammi, now that you are so hell bound that you will look after me all the time, I need to tell you I am not alone! You have to look after someone too alongwith me.."
Zoya blushed a little.
Dilshaad got a bit confused. "Who else beta?", asked Dilshaad.
Zoya slowly whispered in her ears "Your grandchild.."
Dilshaad couldn't believe her ears..Dis Zoya just say that?? Was she going to be a grandma?
Dilshaad was ecstatic.
Really Zoya?, asked Dilshaad.
Zoya nodded with a broad smile on her face.
"Thank you Allah for this day! I had been waiting for it so long. Thank you both of you. This is the best gift ever."
Dilshaad had tears in her eyes. Asad had never seen his ammi so happy before. The last time she was this happy was when he and Zoya got married.
Asad had a broad smile on his face.
X----X---X----X
At night, Zoya was her usual self! She was Busy watching MS Dhoni bat. It was the first match of the India Vs Australia series and Dhoni was batting on unbeaten 92.
"Allah miyaan, this guy is such a gift to the country! What a player! ", she said!
Asad just entered the room after changing into his white kurta pajama.
He hated MS Dhoni for his wife always ignored him whenever that man was playing.
"God, why does he have to bat for so long? Can he not get out at the very first ball?", Asad whispered to himself.
Zoya heard what he had just said and smirked!
Asad called out to Zoya several times to ask her to pass him the file as he had an important meeting the next day but then Zoya paid no heed at all. She was feigning ignorance and that too on purpose. "How I loved doing these", thought she.
Asad knew his wife was now lost in another man's world and it bothered him so much.
"She is giving more importance to that cricketer??", frowned Asad.
He got up and switched off the television and this is what Zoya had actually wanted. Bickering with her Asad gave her a different sort of pleasure and she never lost a chance for this.
"Allah miyaan, whats wrong with you Asad? Dhoni is batting on 98. How could you just switch off the television at such a crucial point?", said Zoya, pretending to be angry.
"Oh okay, you mean to say this man is more important to you than your husband?"
"Oh come on Asad, dont be such a spoilsport. Grow up..Stop being so childish", said Zoya!
"By the way are you jealous?", Zoya smirked.
"Me and jealous?? Huh! that too for this cricketer? What a joke darling wife..just that I was getting disturbed.
I have work to finish..Unlike you."
Zoya knew her man was jealous and she absolutely adored his jealousy.
She got up from the bed and walked towards Asad. She put her hands around his neck, kissed him on the cheeks and said
"How adorable you look my darling husband when you are jealous...Awww!!!"
Asad smiled, pulled her close to him and said, "Cause you are mine...and only mine! Every moment of yours belong to me and not some stupid cricketer you see on TV!"
Both had a smile on their faces.They simply loved to bicker with each other every moment!
"By the way Asad I was just thinking, how about making our son a cricketer like Dhoni when he grows up?", said Zoya excitedly.
"No..Never", came Asad's instant reply! And by the way we are gonna have a beautiful daughter..So whatever you are saying is anyway inapplicable."
Saying this Asad smiled.
"No, we will have a son. I am so sure", said Zoya. Come on I want a son, Zoya pouted!
"I want a daughter", Asad retorted.
And then began Mr. and Mrs.Khan's third world war!
