Part 3-
Yuvraj's POV:
She came back with something wrapped in a light blue blanket in her arms. As she came closer, I realized she was holding the baby. I walked towards her. She smiled and I smiled back. I looked down at the baby. He was wide awake and staring at me.
"He's very bright eyed for such a tiny guy..." I said.
"Yes. He's very observant." She said. The baby smiled at Suhani. I felt something tug at my heart's strings. He yawned.
"Awww...Snoopy yawns too." I said. Suhani laughed. "Yeah, he's a lot like Snoopy...but with less fur. You wanna hold him?" She asked.
"Me? I don't think so. I've never held a baby before. I'll break him or something." I said.
"Here..." She said and held out her arm and urged me. "C'mon Yuvraj, hold him...see how he's looking at you..." She said. I saw the baby and he was actually watching me like she said, with Suhani's nose and all.
"What if he falls? Bhavna will kill me."
"Shhh...take him." She urged me. I took him from her and the baby ended up in both our arms.
"Don't move...I'm scared to hold him alone..." I said. We held him together. The baby started crying.
"Crap, see..." He doesn't like me. Suhani looked emotional. "He does like you..." she said. "Hold him..." I held him on my own. He continued crying. Both of us experienced some unspeakable kind of emotion. I saw Suhani wipe away a tear. I knew what she was thinking. I held the baby against my shoulder and rubbed his back. Suhani watched me. Our eyes locked for a few seconds. Tears welled up in my eyes and I looked down. The baby had stopped crying. The feeling of the small and helpless child in my arms, against my shoulder, plus the image of Suhani holding him stayed with me for the rest of the night. I carefully gave him back to Suhani who headed to Bhavna's house.
I went back home. Maa was still awake, waiting for me.
"Hi Maa..." I said.
"How was dinner?"
"It was fine. Maa, I need to talk to you about something. I need you to promise you won't tell anyone. Tomorrow I'm taking Suhani to our farmhouse. I don't want anyone to know."
"Well, I can keep a secret." She smiled. She held my face.
"Do you think she hates me?" I asked.
"No Yuvraj! She'll never hate you. Why do you think she hates you?"
"No reason. Just wondering because, she has changed a lot..."
"Pain changes people. Your love will bring her back."
I nodded. I took Maa's hand in mine. "She'll come back, right Maa? She won't ask me for a divorce will she? She'll come back..." I stopped and cleared my throat. The fears began to come out. "She'll trust me again, right?" I said.
"I know you can make things right again and I have a feeling things are getting better. You just can't see that because you're afraid." She said. I hugged her.
"Yuvraj, Suhani will come back. She loves you...I see you both having a perfect life together. This is just a bad patch. You're going to have to help her through it. You have to show her and tell her how much you love her."
"But it's hard...it's hard to tell her how I feel. I don't know why..." I said. I felt frustrated.
"It's hard, but you'll manage. Can you live without her?"
"I can't. I need her." It felt like I would burst into tears if this conversation continued. It was better to end it here. "I'll see you in the morning, Maa..." I said. She nodded. I went to bed.
Suhani's POV:
I told Bhavna Di everything and she felt sure that Yuvraj was in love with me. I didn't. I couldn't believe that was possible.
"Suhani, he wants to be alone with you. These are dates. He's taking you out. I think he's afraid of your rejection. You know it as well, but you're not willing to believe it. Wanting to spend the night with you means only one thing..." She said. She shook me. "Wake up, Suhani!"
"Di, you don't get it. I'm not his type."
"We don't choose who we fall in love with, Suhani. It just happens. He loves you...and I think tomorrow night, he'll either tell you...or show you..." She said. I blushed. Suddenly, I felt nervous.
"How was he with the baby?" She asked. "Adorable...he was scared to hold him and then he looked like he loved holding him. He held him against his shoulder and it was just the sweetest thing I've ever seen..." I said.
"Awww!" she hugged me. I hugged her and cried against her shoulder.
"I can't live without him, Di...I can't. I love him..." I said.
"Suhani, you'll never have to live without him. He's going to be only YOURS. He already is. I'm telling you, tomorrow night..." She winked. I blushed again. I hoped she was right about his feelings. The thought of being all alone with him at night made me feel anxious. I went to sleep feeling confused, anxious, excited and giddy. The next day I went back home and told Yuvraj to pick me up from there.
