CHAPTER 54 ~~ Dil Ko Aaya Sukoon...
two weeks later
after sending kasak to school and virat to office, manvi came and sat on the bed. she wasnt feeling well today... something was wrong with her... her head was spinning continuously but she ignored it thinking that may be its because of the hard drink she had the day before. virat took manvi to a business party and he got busy with some of the businessmen there. manvi bored of smiling whenever she saw someone known, went to the bar and drank a hard drink instead of a soft drink. it wasnt like this that she never drank anything alcoholic before, but yesterday night she had it after long five years and it somehow didnt gel with her body system.
vanshika wasnt in town, she had gone to a wedding to pune and manvi was all alone in the house now, she thought of going down for breakfast. she stood up and again her head spinned. she sat on the bed resting it against the headboard and closed her eyes. she was not feeling like having anything but she knew her staying empty stomach wouldnt imporve her condition.
manvi slowly opened her eyes on hearing her mobile ring, and she picked it...
manvi : hello...
mitali : mannu... are you ok...?? you are sounding low baby...
manvi : i dont know mom... something is wrong... my head.. its paining and spinning...
mitali : manvi are you late this month...???
manvi : hmm... may be yes...
mitali : mu pumpkin then it may be a goodnews... mannu are you listening to me...
manvi : mom i had some hard drink yesterday in the party... may be its hangover or something...
mitali : how much did you had...??
manvi : just one glass...
mitali : so it cant be a hangover... cmon its not the first time you touched alcohol...
manvi who had ignored this very point was now hopeful...
manvi : mom yopu have a point... i might be expecting... right...?? it all happens i suppose...
mitali : my honeybun dont waste more time... go and clear this doubt of ours...
manvi : yeah... but i am scared...
mitali : you are my brave daughter manvi... take god's name and hope for the best...
manvi : hmm... (tears forming in her eyes... those tears were because of her mixed reactions... one was her fear and other was her hope...)
manvi : i will call you mom... wish me luck...
mitali : best of luck... god bless you...
manvi disconnected the call and suddenly she was filled with a new energy... her feeling nausea was making sense to her... she was really hoping that her dream has finally come true... but somewhere in her heart, there was a fear... fear of facing that disappointment again... she would lose all her hopes if she sees the same result again.
timidly she took steps forward towards the washroom and locked the door.
she was crying... crying utterly... nothing was making sense to her... the tears were not stopping from rolling down her eye... it seemed as if her eyes were flooded with endless tears... everything changed for her now... she was sitting under the shower continuously sobbing, still holding the pregnancy kit in her hands... she was completed drained by now... she heard her mobile ringing from the last 15 minutes, but she didnt care picking it up... soon she gathered herself and got up from the floor. she went to the room and picked her mobile which was again ringing...
mitali : mannu... baby...
manvi : m.. mum.. mumma... (between her sobs)
mitali : manvi... its okk baby... its okk it happens...
manvi : mumma...
mitali : you have to strong manvi... kuch nahi hua bacha...
manvi : mumma its... its POSITIVE...
mitali : its okk baby... you cannot fell weak... wait a minute... what...??
manvi : haan mumma... mera bacha... mera bacha mom...
mitali : manvi sach... oh mhy god... i am soo happy for you... but you idiot why are you crying...
manvi : i couldnt control myself... (she scrunged her nose) these stupid tears...
mitali : you scared the hell out of me... anyways congratulations my honeybun...
manvi : thank you but dont call me honeybun mom...
mitali : cmon now smile... and get ready...
manvi : why...??
mitali : lets go to a doctor manvi... lets get it confirmed...
manvi : hmm...
manvi and mitali went to the doctor and doctor also confirmed that manvi was expecting but the doctor said they should first wait for the reports to come...
manvi was driving and mitali looked at her daughter... she was looking soo happy and her face held a different charm. she was looking to mitali like her old mannu... her old mannu who got lost in these last 4 years...
mitali : you better give me a treat today...
manvi : kaho toh poori mithai ki dukaan khareed doon...
mitali : accha...?? great...
manvi : mom i am soo happy... never thought, it would be such a great feeling... abhi se... abhise aisa lag raha hai ke ye nanhi si jaan mera sab kuch hai... mera sapna, meri haqeeqat, mera aane wala kal... mera sab kuch...
mitali : thats why people say motherhood is something that cannot be explained in words... its a bliss...
manvi : and i was a fool to not let me experience this bliss all tese years... i was unfair to myself... main iss vardaan ko thukra rahi thi...
mitali : dont think about all that now... enjoy this phase mannu...
manvi : mom i was thinking that now i should tell everything to virat...
mitali : your wish... but i really hope you dont end up destroying everything...
manvi : i believe him to stand by me... he will understand me... aur agar -
mitali : aur agar nahi bhi kia, he will come back to you... you crae carrying his child, his own blood...
manvi : i know... thanks mom... if you wouldnt have stopped me that day, toh pta nahi... but now i will tell virat everything... tomorrow morning only...
mitali : i just hope everything goes well... but its your birthday tomorrow...
manvi : ohh yeah... dekhna mom, sab theek hoga aur kal hum sab milke party karenge...
mitali : god bless you...
manvi : thank you...
manvi reached home and went to kasak's room and hugged her favourite teddy bear... it was a great feeling... an air of euphoria surrounding her... there was her little dream growing inside her. with one hand she was hugging the teddy bear and other made its way to her stomach. suddenly she was feeling complete... her little world was now complete... complete in all terms.
manvi : hello my little sweetheart... thats mumma baby... i love you baby... mumma was waiting for your for soo long... and at last you came... everybody would be s happy on getting to know about you... everybody baby... dad... ur kasak di... daadi daadu, naani naanu... everybody... we all will cherish you all our life... you are a blessing to us...
donno when manvi fell asleep... she was still in that position... one hand aorund kasak's teddy and other securely placed on her tummy. she was sleeping with a sweet smile on her face... after so much of time, she got such a sound sleep. but her sound sleep was disturbed by the ring of her mobile.
manvi : hello... (sleepy)
virat : how are you...??
manvi : mujhe kya hoga... (very happy and excited)
virat : manvi do you remember you werent well in the morning...???

manvi : haha... no... i am in the pink of the health...
virat : good... take care... love you...
manvi : love you soo much... bye...
manvi disconnected the call and went to bring her jaan back from school.
" bahara... bahara hua dil pehli baar mein... "
manvi was humming songs while driving...
kasak : mumma ticket aa gyi kya...???
manvi : kaunsi ticket baby...??
kasak : london wali mumma...
manvi : aa jaegi honey... it takes time you see...
kasak : aur kitna time lagega... one week more...???
manvi : yeah may be... ask daadu tonight... (giggling)
kasak : ok... par daddu se kyun...??
manvi : aise hi...
kasak : okk...
manvi made kasak eat her lunch and now kasak was doing coloring in her drawing file and manvi was watching her.
manvi : jaanu mumma was thinking something...
kasak : kya mumma...??
manvi : why dont we send that kattie watch back to naani's house...??
kasak : why...??
manvi : agar hum little baby lae toh usko darr lagega na...

kasak : heartbeat mumma...
manvi : hmm...
kasak : here... (placing her hand on manvi's chest)
manvi : yes... but not here, heartbeat is here... in the left (manvi shifted kasak's hand from right hand side to the left hand side...)
kasak : ohhh...

vikram : such a feast... manvi are you so happy that vanshika is not here...
manvi : hehe... nahi dad...
virat : kuch toh chakar hai dad... aaj itna sab kuch...
manvi : arrey aise hi...
vikram : chalo now lets enjoy this feast...
kasak : daadu...
vikram : princess you are not eating your food...
kasak : daadu mujhe question hai...
virat : oye question bank, pehle khana kha lo...
kasak made a face at virat and continued talking.
kasak : daadu meri london ki ticket kab ayegi...??
virat choked on his food and started coughing. manvi hurriedly gave virat a glass of water and rubbed his back.
vikram : you are okk virat...??
virat : yes dad...
kasak : daadu meri ticket...
virat glared at kasak and then at manvi who was giggling and trying hard to supress her laughter as she knows her husband havent even booked the tickets...
vikram : virat tickets...??
virat : huh actually.. wo aaj hi book karwata hoon... i didnt get time dad...
vikram : you are not a scrooge... i will sponser the trip... is it okk...??
virat : its wonderful now... thanks...
kasak : daadu tickets book hi nahi hui... main hotel kaise jaungi...??
vikram : you will go ms. vadera... daadu hai na...
virat : hmm...
manvi : kasak eat your food baby... thanda ho raha hai...
manvi put kasak to sleep and entered her room. she was really expecting something special as it was her birthday tomorrow but somewhere the fear of losing her family was still gripping her heart. she saw that the light were off and she switched it on to see virat already sleeping on his side of the bed.
manvi : so gya... this is not done... (muttered under her breath)
manvi disappointedly went to her side of the bed and switched off the light. she turned her back towards virat and was cursing him for going to bed so early and that too tonight only. she kept her hand on her tummy and immediately a smile played on her lips and soon drifted off to the world of dreams.
virat was still awake and was looking at the screen of his mobile waiting for the clock to struck 12.
" three "
" two "
" one "
virat hugged manvi from behind and kiseed her neck before whispering " happy birthday" in her ears.
manvi felt the pair of arms wrapped around her and the kiss made her blush and the birthday wish made her day. she smiled widely and turned around.
manvi : thank you...
virat kissed her forehead and manvi hugged him tightly.
manvi : i thought you forgot my birthday...
virat : accha... aisa kabhi hua hai kya...??
manvi : haan shadi se pehle hota tha...
virat : i agree par shadi ke baad toh nahi hua na...
manvi : nahi... (kissing his cheek) i love you...
virat : i love you too...
virat freed the portion of the tee manvi was holding and took her left hand in his. manvi looked at virat wondering whats up with him. virat smiled widely at manvi and took out a box from the pillow cover. manvi was so excited on seeing that jewellary box and almost snatched it from virat and opened it. on opening it, she made a face as it was empty and softly punched his stomach.
virat : kya kar rahi ho...???
manvi : this is empty... what is this virat...??
virat : arrey i worked so hard for this... koi khali box de hi nahi raha tha...
manvi : i hate you...
manvi turned around again, her back facing him.
virat shifted close to manvi and pulled her closer.
virat : aww mumma gussa ho gayi...
manvi : yes... bahut gussa...
virat : toh ye lo... gussa shant karne ke liye...
virat showed manvi a beautiful heart shaped diamond ring...
manvi : virat...
virat : happy birthday jaan... (placing the ring on her ring finger...)
manvi had many rings but not an engagement ring, she demanded virat a ring every now and then. tpday the ring which she was wearing in her finger was the exact replica of what she demanded.
manvi : ye toh...
virat : you like it...??
manvi : love it... iss ring ke liye tumne tickets book nahi ki... hai na...??
manvi turned around with tears in her eyes and looked at virat and he nodded his head in positive...
manvi : thank you... thank you soo much...
virat : anything for you... i love you manvi...
manvi : love you too virat... ❤️
manvi hugged the love of her life and thanked god for blessing her with virat and kasak and her other arm was wrapped around the newly found happiness, their baby... they were complete and now picture perfect...
