Chapter : 5 : THE 3 MAGIC WORDS :
Manyata sat on the beach-sand and waited for what seemed like several hours , for her husband to arrive along with their daughter. She fiddled nervously with the floating-ring , which she kept on her lap : Where are u Uday? Her heart-beat was erratic and she knew something was not right ... somewhere!
**********************************************************************
Brijraj - that was not very nice of you, avoiding my calls like that , was not a good idea! , Stanley mocked : Do u have my money? Brijraj hesitated : Ummm ... yeah ... yes - almost! Stanley Phillips began laughing like a person possessed : "ALMOST" - that means ... u have NOTHING! U have 1 more month Brijraj - 30 days to give me my $25 million. He disconnected before Brijraj could say anything more ... "30 days" echoed in his mind. Beads of sweat was forming on his fore-head. He felt a shrill, sharp pain in his body ... before it went limp and he collapsed.
***********************************************************************
A group of girls walking pass Manyata, talking about a very sad incident , which happened an hour ago ... alerted her. When she asked them the details , they told that a man , together with a baby was washed up on the other side of the beach ... but the baby did not survive. Manyata's world crumbled the moment she heard about the child. Like a zombie , she walked to where the incident occurred.
When she got there , all she found was the baby-carrier ... and it was the same 1, which she and Uday used for Udita. Manyata dropped to her knees and screamed out in anger. Hot tears flowed down her cheeks as she clutched the carrier. A fisher-man was the only other person on the beach with Manyata. He came to Manyata when he heard her loud sobs : Beti - what's the matter?
She held up the carrier ... Baba , this is my Baby's. He kneeled down and sat beside Manyata. I want to hold her in my arms ... I want HER with ME! She cried until no more tears came from her eyes. The man just looked at her helplessly, he was not aware of all the details of what happened there earlier. UDAY!!!!!!!!! , she suddenly yelled out. One conversation was repeating itself over and over in her mind ... Promise me - U BOTH will come back to me . I promise!
Uday broke his promise to her ... that was all she could think of. The feeling of sorrow was over-taken by fury. She was livid and was just waiting to explode , when she felt a piercing pain in her stomach. She clutched her stomach in agony and the old-man rushed to her aid. The man was poor and had no car , yet he sat her in a taxi and took her to the nearby missionary hospital.
He assisted her in climbing the 8 steps that led to the hospital . On entering , she spotted Uday; seated on a bench at the far end of the hallway. Forgetting the pain in her abdomen , she marched towards him ... even leaving the old fisher-man behind. Her long strides took her to him in a matter of seconds.
Uday was sitting silently on the wooden bench , tightly clutching a damp, scruffy-looking Pinkoo. Dried tear trails were evident on his cheeks. He was blankly staring into space , when he caught a glimpse of his wife standing in front of him. Princ ... "SMACK" , before Uday could complete calling her name , her right hand met his left cheek; in the form of a stinging slap.
HOW COULD YOU UDAY? HOW COULD U LET THAT HAPPEN TO OUR BABY? OUR DAUGHTER IS DEAD , BECAUSE OF YOU; YOU KILLED HER UDAY ... THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT! , Manyata accused. Her eyes were red and her body was shivering with anger. As Uday opened his mouth to say something ... Manyata restarted her tirade : Do u know what day it is today? It's her 1st birthday Uday! I was going to have a small party for her ... I was going to make a wish for her, when she blew out her candle ... I was going to smear the icing from the cake, onto her face ; and then take out a photograph of her messed face. I was ... I was ... I was going ... , she broke down crying again. Uday wrapped his arms around her and held her close to his heart , despite her protests of punching him in the chest. I was going to CELEBRATE her birthday Uday - I never thought I'll be BURYING her on this day! PRINCESS - SHE'S ALIVE! , Uday told softly.
It took many moments before Uday's words registered in her brain. What did u say? , she looked up at him. He cupped her face, and with a warm , reassuring smile ; he told : Udita is ALIVE! Where is she? Inside the ward ... the doctor is examining her ... we have to wait out here!
Ummm , Princess - who's that? , Uday asked when he noticed an elderly man standing a bit away , but staring at Manyata. She then began telling Uday about the fisher-man , who brought her there. Uday , u know - he reunited us. Uday smiled back. He's very poor , and I think he does fishing for a living ... I would like to give him something , because he helped me. Uday fished out a card from his pocket ... Princess , besides this credit-card ; I don't have anything to give. Manyata removed her gold earrings and held it in front of Uday : Can I give this? He agreed, and Manyata walked up to the old man and offered it to him. After a lot of refusal, he accepted her gracious gift. Before leaving , he reminded her , to see the doctor about her stomach pains.
By the time Manyata returned, Uday was in a serious conversation with a lady-doctor. She was annoyed to the hilt, seeing the doctor constantly touching Uday's arm. Possessively , she stood close to him and locked her fingers into his : Dr , how's my daughter? When can I see her? , Manyata asked sternly.
Oh , are you , her mother? , Dr Geetha Mathur asked. Hmmm , and HIS WIFE! , she stated abruptly ... giving Uday a glancing , death-glare.
Your baby is fine ... please come with me, she led Manveer to the children's ward. Manyata lifted her baby and kissed her all over her face. She's very hungry - you'll have to feed her , Dr Geetha told Manyata. Hi Princess , hey baby-girl ... u want mum-mum? Udita gave a weak smile in reply. She began feeding the baby , as the doctor dropped a passing flirt : She's a strong kid ... just like her DAD! To make matters worse , she pinched Uday's biceps as she left the room.
Where is your shirt Uday? , Manyata barked after seeing that Uday was wearing only a vest , with his jeans. He then , started to explain : Princess - Udita had stopped breathing - she was turning blue ... everyone who was present there , told me that she was DEAD. I held her to my chest and crushed her body against mine. I guess the tight squeeze unlocked her air-passage and she threw up the water that was in her lungs . She vomited a bit thereafter ... my shirt got soiled , so I disposed of it! Oh , then as soon as we're done here I'll be using that credit-card of yours to get u another shirt! , she announced. Uday knew the reason behind her obsession in having him covered up ... but chose to irk her some more : Nah Princess - I'm fine like this ... maybe for a change - people will stop noticing the CUTE BABY and focus on the SEXY FATHER instead! , he closed with a wink.
Whilst Manyata looked for something to aim at Uday ... he pretended to take cover. Udita moaned as if she was annoyed with her mother's shaking. She placed her tiny hands on Manyata's breast, as if ; keeping her source of food - steady! Uday will these marks go away? , Manyata pointed out tiny cuts and abrasions on Udita's face and limbs ,which she got due to the rough waters. It'll go away Princess. But ... u know something - our Rajkumari is still the prettiest little girl in the whole wide world! , he pinched the Baby's nose.
An irritated Udita tried to slap his hand away , as she was drifting of to slumber-land ... before her father, so rudely; disturbed her. Uday continued annoying the child by touching her face , pulling her ears and pinching her nose. Stop it Uday ... let her sleep! , Manyata scolded. Sorry princess , but THAT'S 1 thing I can't let her do ... she has hyperthermia , and we'll have to keep her awake for the next 24 hours, until her body-temperature stabilises. Manyata looked at her sleepy princess and wondered how they'll be able to accomplish their mission.
Princess - I want you to see the doctor! , Uday ordered. I'm fine Uday , besides ... Udita needs me here , with her. And anyway that pain in my stomach - it's gone now! , Manyata smiled. Uday took the baby from her , carefully wrapped her in a blanket, & gently rubbed his nose against his daughter's nose ... Paapa is taking u for a small walk sweet-heart ; because Mamma needs to see the doctor. But Uday , I said ... Uday's frosty look made her stop talking. I told you to HAVE YOURSELF CHECKED ... that was NOT A REQUEST! , with that he walked out with the child.
Manyata was left red-faced when the doctor caught her sticking out her tongue to Uday. She quickly spoke up , to avoid any more embarrassment : Doctor - I've been having cramps in my abdomen ... could you examine me , check if my baby is alright? The doctor immediately took her for an ultra-sound.
Manyata had to wait a while because another woman was having a scan done. When the lady exited , Manyata was horrified to see who it was. A "very pregnant" Shivani smiled when she saw Manyata, greeted her warmly and moved to hug her. Hi Bhabhi - it's so nice to see you , what are u doing here? Of-course , the hug was not possible as their baby-bumps, came on the way ... and Manyata was too dumb-struck to say a word. She continuously stared at Shivani's stomach , and after plucking up some courage, she finally asked ; whilst pointing to her belly : Uday's?
Shivani started laughing ... Arre NO Bhabhi ... our "relationship" never got to THAT level. And anyway , I wouldn't have done THAT , before marriage. Manyata smiled weakly , she was NOT convinced ... Shivani looked like she was 9 months pregnant - waiting to pop-open any second ; the baby HAD TO BE Uday's.
*****************************************************************************
Udita hated being tucked in the blanket and tried to kick her legs free; in so doing ... she was kicking Uday in his stomach and waist. Sweety-pie , sometimes you remind me of your mamma ; once upon a time , she used to also kick me like this! Gooo -, she complained to be put down. No Baccha , u can't "goo" on the ground, if anyone sees THE HEIR OF JAIGARH crawling around in the sand - your parents will have a lot of explaining to do!
She pointed out to some children playing with a pup : Paapa - doggy! , she told her father. Bacha , jab aapki Mamma aapko Angrezi seekha rahe hain; tab aap uski baton pe dhyaan mat dena ... theek hain? The child gave him a confused look , so Uday elaborated : Ye "doggy" nahi hain ... ye PUPPY hain!
Udita smiled at him , and placed her lips on his cheek ... Pappi! Oho Bacha ... u take after ME for everything ; but it seems u have your Mamma's little brain , Uday thought out loud. Udita was still looking at him , waiting for a reply for her kiss ... Sweet-heart ... aapki pappi bohot meethi thi , and he returned the kiss , making the little girl - giggle ; after her father's stubble rubbed against her cheek.
*************************************************************************
Manyata was over the moon , hearing that Shivani was just 5 months pregnant ... the reason she was so huge , was because she was having twins. She also got to meet Lieutenant Rahul Singh ... the husband of Shivani ; who turned out to be a real gentle-man ; when he offered to give the Royal Family a lift to Mumbai.
Manyata finished her ultra-sound and returned to the nursery ... where a pleasant surprise awaited her. The ward was decorated with balloons and streamers, Udita had a party-hat on her head and Uday was lighting the single candle on her birthday-cake. Ahhh , Princess - just in time for the party , Uday told as he fastened a party-hat on her head. As soon as Udita blew out her candle , she said to her parents: Goo gal! Uday and Manyata made a silent wish on her behalf. Both wished her , kissed her and sang the "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" song for her, whilst she carried on poking her finger into the icing of the cake ... and then sucking on it.
Tons of photo's were taken , from a disposable camera, which Uday purchased. Udita proved to be a natural model as she grinned for every picture. This day , almost didn't happen for us Uday ... but it became such a happy 1 - we celebrated our Baby's birthday ... and I even found out , you weren't unfaithful to me! HUHH!??
Sorry to interrupt ... Mr Singh , can you come to my office? Uday went with the doctor : Anything wrong Doctor? Yeah ... your wife's scan!
Phew ... tired now🥱!
