Part 94

Shaan: Khanak tum yaha baito, main counter jaake baat kar ke aata hun..(makes her sit on a chair)

She nods like a obedient child, he goes and talks to the person incharge, since the person knew Dr. Shantanu Khandelwal, he would be personally looking into our new patient Dr. Khanak Khandelwal..

Person enquires for the tests to be made, Shaan asks for blood count and concentration of ions in her blood.Person nods and writes it down..

Person: Sir, do you want us to check for..u know she might be pregnant too..(looking carefully at Shaan's face, he didn't wanted to blurt something in front of attending doctor, they could fire him, but that was normal, she's married, so that's one possibility too..person thinks)

That startles the hell out of his system, his heart races at the thought, he clears his throat, a loud gurgle sound of joy is produced in him, he controls it, tries to be normal..

Shaan: sure..! I mean..yeah..(he felt like someone has knocked out his breath, he felt the sudden urge of smiling and grinning all over)

If that was true, may be he'll jump over and would kiss the person too..but still it was not confirmed so, he held his breath..After a pause..

Shaan: I'll go get her..(not looking at the person) The person had a questioning look, he just shrugged…

He just went back to Khanak..he fumbled near her, Khanak wondered what's wrong with Shaan..

Khanak: Shaan..sab teek hain?? (stands up)

Shaan: haan! Sab teek..(he was nervous, what if she's actually pregnant? He's brought back by the nudge given by Khanak)

Shaan: haan Khanak! Tum jao andar..

Khanak: why?? I mean..tum andar nahi aaoge??

Shaan: what do you think?? Koi tumhe hurt karne ki koshish kar raha hain, do you think mera hona uske liye safe hogi?

Khanak: (stared and next moment bursted into laughter) Shaan! (shakes her head)

Without forcing him, she went alone..Shaan waited outside walking up and down, wondering why this was taking her too much of time..After about 15 mins, she comes out, her both hands flexed up, it looked like she was pierced on both sides..

Shaan: what happened?? Why did it take so long??

Khanak: nothing! The usual, they were not able to find my vein (she checks whether she could remove the cotton or not, she could, her blood had clotted, she removed it and threw it in the dustbin placed outside)

Shaan: what?? Why?? (worried)

Khanak: Shaan! Chill! It happens every time, I mean..whenever im suppose to give my blood, my veins take a good shelter under my muscles and fascia, they won't be visible at all..(shrugs) And these people they start piercing at all the available places and just leave me with the pain..(twitches her lips)

Shaan: Are you ok Khanak?? (cups her face)

Khanak: totally good! Actually I wanted to ask you something..? (doubtful)

Shaan: sure! But 1 sec, when are we getting the reports??

Khanak: Today evening! Hmm..Shaan..i wanted to attend a surgery..(looking at his face earnestly)

Shaan glares at her..(his hands dropped)

Khanak: Shaan im fine now..look Im not even feeling dizzy today, so can i?? Please…

Shaan: Khanak..

Khanak: please please please… (begs)

Shaan: ok fine! But promise that you'll be home by 5?

Khanak: sure! Pakka! If the surgery gets over early I'll be home even earlier too..

Shaan: ok then! Get home and call me!

Khanak: Thank you so much! (she gives him a side hug and in the next moment she's disappeared)

Shaan shakes his head, he had to attend other hospital today, he informed them he'll be late, so he was..He takes the elevator..Elevator is empty, when he entered in and there comes Dr. Anjali..

Both exchange brief looks, people fill in easily..Shaan thanks his fortune..Elevator stops she's the first to get out..And Shaan eventually does..

Khanak thinks she's fine..but she was not..She didn't take any meds, her abdomen was not paining today, so she was sure that she could do the surgery scheduled for her..At times she felt dizzy, sweaty..

It was a premature delivery, baby was having some problems, so soon after the gynac's job, peds had to take up their position..Anjali was performing as Gynac and Khanak as a peds doctor..

Khanak gave a smile at Anjali, but Anjali had a serious look and a straight face, Khanak shrugged..Khanak saw that Anjali was damn good at her profession, Khanak was impressed, she smiled but it was unnoticed as her mouth was covered by the mask..But she had to shift her attention towards the baby, which was not crying..Anjali gave a tap on baby's back..But it didn't..they both exchanged worried looks, Anjali gave another tap and the baby started crying, both left out a huge sigh! Khanak carried the baby in her arms..At that moment, she felt different..

Of course! She had carried many babies, but now she felt different, no time was left for her to keep thinking about these new feelings..She had to attach it to tubes, baby was not able to breathe..Once the tubes were attached, baby's heart beat was stabilized..At that moment Khanak was unable to tell what's wrong with the baby, but she would know eventually..

About half an hour, after traeating with all meds..baby was able to breathe by itself, Khanak had smiled and had held baby's hand..

This had taken a lot of time, but it was not 5, so Khanak had time..For some reason, she felt like she wanted to go into the infant's room..She stood outside of glass thing, she could see the babies sleeping, Khanak smiled..Anjali joined, Khanak smiled..

Khanak: it feels so good! (At that moment Anjali wanted to ask what, Khanak continued) Holding a baby..I don't know..when I held the baby in OT, I felt like I was on cloud 9..i know that I have held many babies, but today was different..It felt great! Awesome! I just don't have any words..(she talked looking at the babies)

Anjali: (looking in the same direction as Khanak) Giving birth to a life is..

Khanak: I know..(sigh! )

Both were not friends, Anjali had hated Khanak, but now both were exchanging an experience which made them fly like birds..

Khanak & Anjali: sole reason for chosing the profession! (at the same time)

They were surprised too, they looked at each other..Khanak's face easily broke into a smile, while Anjali schooled it and looked in the front..

Khanak: taking care of the future ones!

Anjali: helping to give rise to the future ones!

Both smiled at the babies, proud about their profession!

Anjali started to walk away, but she turned back, Khanak was still gazing in the front..

Anjali: Khanak! (Khanak looked at Anjali) You're glowing! (for some reason she waited for Khanak's response)

Khanak: hmm..(getting her implication, Khanak's motuh went dry) u mean..i'm..(Khanak was not able to bring the word to her mouth)

Anjali smiled and left from there..Khanak in her mind..was she telling that im pregnant?? Am i?? The thought released numerous of butterflies in the pit of her stomach! If so..Shaan will be so happy! Tears had started to brim in her eyes, joy filling up..The feeling was ecstatic..She just stood there closing her eyes..

She had reached house, she felt she was just going to fall over..She felt tired..Aayush was home when she returned, he held her hand took her to her room, made her sleep on the bed, he brought his bag and did his home work sitting beside her on the bed, without disturbing hoping she would fall asleep, but nope! She was awake and just looked at Aayush..Aayush declined to talk, so Khanak had no other way, to just lean her headback on the headboard and gaze at Aayush..

Khanak: Aayush main jaake Khushboo bhabhi ko dekhkhar aati hun..(finding a reason to get off the bed)

Aayush: no mom! (stern)

Khanak felt like someone had put her into a jail..She wanted to go out, she felt like she wanted some fresh air..

Khanak: Aayush! I want some fresh air..

He without replying got out of the bed, opened the windows, cool air drifted in, switched off the AC went back and sat on the bed..

Khanak thought it was no use of talking to Aayush, she just placed her pillow back on the bed, and slept on it, in no time she was asleep..Aayush smiled looking at his mom..

Khanak had called Shaan, as soon as she reached, Shaan came back to hospital to collect her reports, he met Aman on his way..

Aman: hey! Were you attending at this hour?? (checking his watch)

Shaan: no! had to collect Khanak reports..

Aman: oh! Everything fine??

Shaan: absolutely! Its just that she was not feeling well..

Aman: ok! Hey, I wanted to talk to you about a clinical trial..if you have a minute, can i??

Shaan: sure..we can talk in the elevator right?? (smiles)

Aman: ofcourse! (smiles back)

Aman explained about the clinical trial, it was related to cancer, since Shaan was interested in onco part, Aman wanted Shaan to join him also, Shaan loved the idea about the clinical trial..

Aman: so? can I expect you to join hands with me?

Shaan: hmm..not sure..can I take some time?

Aman: you didn't like the idea??

Shaan: oh no! idea is fantastic, but you know Khanak is not well…and I also know that clinical trials require 24*7..let her get better then may be I can give it a thought..(thoughtful)

Aman: cool! I understand, feel free to tell me..

They bid their byes, Shaan and Aman walks in opposite directions, suddenly Aman comes to a halt..

Aman: hey..(Shaan turns around) is the sickness for the 'good news'??

Shaan: (bit his lower lip to hold his grin back) not sure..

Aman: if it is! Then I call for a party! What say??

Shaan: Sure! (They both smile and Aman leaves, Shaan gets to the lab to collect the results)

Shaan reached, asked for the reports, the person handed him the reports, Shaan recived with a smile and thanks..

Shaan just opens up the reports, first page consists of blood count, her TLC (Total leukocyte count) told that WBC's (white blood corpuscles or leukocytes) were more than the usual..This made his heart race..He quickly flipped to next page, there it was..It showed the presence of HCG (Human chorionic gonadotropin) in her blood..The amount told it, she was 6 weeks pregnant!

Shaan had a huge grin pasted on his face, he couldn't believe this! His eyes brimmed with tears of happiness..He's going to be a dad! After few months he will be holding a small bundle of joy and happiness in his arms, in the name of his son/daughter..He wanted to scream to the world, dance, hug someone..He was happy! He knew a person who could give him a tight hug! Not wasting anymore time, he ran holding the papers in his hand, knocking a nurse in the meanwhile, he quickly told a sorry and was vanished at the end of the corridor, the nurse wondered..

Khanak: oh no! Mom main kuch bhi khaloongi lekin please khichdi nahi..(they are in her room)

Madhvi: kyun nahi beta, bus thoda sa khalo..(trying to feed her, Khanak is feeling like puking) achcha main kuch aur mangao??

Khanak: Mom you're too kind, and too sweet and too cute! (smiles sweetly)

Madhvi: No Khanak! If you think buttering up would help you not to eat the food, then its perfectly not working..Agar tumne nahi khaaya na, im going to call Aayush, who is downstairs with his dadi..(warns)

Khanak: im feeling like im 6 year old..(sulks)

Madhvi: good! Abb batao tumhe kya chayiye??

Khanak: hmm..kuch khatta sa aur teekha sa..(Reminiscing)

Madhvi: khatta aur teekha?? No beta! Ur not feeling well and you are supposed to eat mild like Khichdi!

Brings the bowl in front of her, Khanak makes a face, since Madhvi was asking her to eat, she ate from her MIL's hand..

Madhvi: Achcha beta..why are you not taking up the medicines?? Shaan ko pata hain kya..??

Khanak wanted to talk to someone about her intuition..She was not sure about the news, at the same time she had not taken pregnancy tests..She's fidgeting with the cloth which Madhvi had placed on her lap..Mahdvi sees that she's nervous and same time she was blushing and her skin had started to glow from few days..Madhvi did observe but she didn't wanted to come to an unknown conclusion..

Madhvi: kya hua beta?? Is everything ok?? (holds her hand which is on her lap)

Khanak:hmm..Mom..i wanted to share something..

Madhvi: haan bolo beta..(cups her cheek and then holds Khanak hands warmly)

Khanak: actually..im not sure..i mean..it could be wrong..

Madhvi: what could be wrong??

Khanak: (She feels like giggling, she feels funny for some reason) mom..i think..u know…I mean I guess im expecting..(shy, nervous, happy)

Madhvi: sachi main?? (Khanak could see her MIL's eyes glitter with happiness, Khanak lowered her head and nods)

Madhvi knows that, at this time Khanak is in need of her mother..The precious time where a woman would look for her own mother..Madhvi was happy that Khanak had given her that place..Here she was telling something which many of them to chose to tell their husbands first than MIL..The fondness between them would grow more these days, as Khanak would be needing her in many other ways..She was very greatful to have her two bahus at the same time pregnant..Khushboo's it was forth month..Madhvi will have to look at her two daughters now! She is happy!

Khanak was not sure, she cleared about that, Madhvi hugged her, Khanak hid her face in her MIL's neck..

Madhvi: if its true, then..(pushed her back gently Khanak had her head lowered, Madhvi cupped her cheeks once again) Im happy for you beta! (Khanak smiled)

Madhvi: agar iski wajah se tum kuch khatta khaane ke liye keh rahi ho..toh phir uske bare main socha jaa saktha hain..

Khanak giggles and Madhvi laughs..Madhvi had made her eat properly and made her sleep..a bit early..

Shaan entered into a dark room, he now knows why she's asleep early! He smiles broadly..He entered in and closed the door..He slowly walked to her side, sat on her side of bed..

Shaan: Congratulations Mrs. Shantanu Khandelwal! You're going to be a mom once again..(he caressed her head and gave a peck on her forehead, his eyes closed)

When he goes back to sit properly, he's surprised that, she's awake..her eyes wide opened..before he could recover, Khanak sat up on the bed..

Khanak: did I get that correct??

Shaan: (smiles and cups her face) yes Mrs. Khandelwal! (shows her the reports)

Her intuition was correct! She is pregnant!

In the next moment she was in his arms..he securely engulfed her!

Shaan: Aayush will be too happy to hear this news! (grins Khanak smiles too)

Shaan can feel the wetness on his shirt, he worries, he's out of the hug, she's smiling at the same time crying too..

Shaan: Khanak! (wipes her tears off)

Khanak: mujhe dad ki yaad aa rahi hain!

Shaan:kya??

Khanak: I mean my dad!

Shaan is confused, he thought that she might be missing her mother, but she's missing her dad?? Well she can miss both of them, but why is she stating that she's missing her dad alone?? Shaan just stared back..
