"Paro..look at me ..please don't cry..how can I leave for the mission if you send me out with those big big tears from your beautiful eyes", Rudra pouted seeing Paro's already swollen eyes which is again brimming with fresh lease of tears. "Paro, you know how the BSD work is and that too this mission will be done within a week ", he tried reasoning.
Seeing her still sobbing softly, Rudra claimed "OK then I will stay back, let them fire me from BSD for negligence of my duty" and sat on the edge of their bed faking a dejected look stealing glances for any change on her. As expected Paro turned shocked "Nahi, nahi Majorsaab , I know how much you love this job and I will never let you sacrifice that for me, its just that the mere thought that I won't be able to see you for.. for .." hugged him hiding her tears within his chest before completing the sentence. Rudra felt terrible to let her go and hugged back tighly.
After a moment Paro realizing the spot of bother Rudra is in wiped her tears and with a smile " uhh am just a Bewakoof ladki, I want my majorsaab to return with victory and don't worry about me". Though he knew she was hurting, he couldn't help but kissed her forehead and with his hands on her cheeks, " I will be back as soon as possible ..OK..till then promise me that those beautiful eyes will never see those tears again". She nodded controlling the tears with a smile " and this to not miss me till am back", and claimed her lips.

Paro just stared the other side of the bed which is vacant and felt empty without his warmth, she missed it..missed him..controlling her tears which was threatening to fall any minute, tried to close her eyes but sleep eluded her..She felt tired.maybe because of the extra workload she took wantedly to stop thinking about him..the more she tried to stop , the more she thought about him..feeling nauseous and weak she got up from the bed and went to the cupboard, took his brown leather jacket and hugged it tight saying "Majorsaab..."and collapsed on the bed.

"Paroo", Rudra sprung from his temporary airbed at the campsite. Little panicked saw his watch, the time is around 3 am... His heart raced "Is she alright?, dammit there is no way to even find out from here, had to wait till dawn to reach the head site for the call"..Fighting the uneasy thoughts, he tried to get some rest after the long day but now sleep eluded him too..So he got up and started walking outside his tent looking for a horizon soon..
"Sir, looks like you couldn't sleep properly, were you awake all night ?" Aman's enquiry startled Rudra. . "uhh..hmm...Aman I need to head to headsite for a call..you ..." before he completed. V.K.Singh sir intervened from back "Why Major, missing my Paro betiya?" and both officers chuckled softly confusing Rudra. "Yes Sir, I mean ..No no Sir" he flustered internally cursing his helplessness.
"Rudra, Aman can handle here from now on..am officially discharging you from this mission..you can go home now "...Rudra puzzled "But sir..why..I mean .."..."Major, your family needs you right now and I want you to start immediately...its an order"..Rudra saluted without another word and started packing with a huge anxiety of seeing Paro though confused at V.K.Singh Sir's order.
"Sir, you could have told the reason to Rudra", Aman whispered.."No Aman, he needs to hear this from his family" V.K.Singh smiled meaningfully.

Rudra walked ..no almost stormed into the haveli after 26 hours of long travel to get a glimpse of Paro soon.."Devarjisa ..you came so soon?" shocked Mythili stopping his tracks..."Babhisa ..woh ..woh..work done fast..and ..paro" Mythili gently smiled looking at desperate blabbering Rudra, " Paro is in the room resting...I will bring..."
"Resting?, at this hour of the day...I knew it ...she is not alright" Rudra hurried to his room mumbling under his breath without having any patience to enquire anything fully anymore but stopped at the doorstep hearing her voice...his Paro's voice ..
"Gudiya, look at me, am going to share you a secret..will you keep it ...ushhh you should not tell Majorsaab before I do ...ok" Paro chuckled childishly... putting the pink bangles on the doll's hand " Look this is my Majorsaab's first gift to me...and now its my turn...I know I know, you are my first gift to him but I also got back Majorsaab with you naa, so it doesn't count as my gift...now I got a real gift for him" blushing hugged the brown leather jacket with the other hand and continued " You know, I saw my Majorsaab in this jacket for the first time, saving me from those brutal goons...my Rakshak..my Jallad..who would have thought you and me will end up with him..everything its is our Bholenath blessing" smilingly kept the doll on the side table still hugging the jacket and kissed its collar.
Rudra was overwhelmed and confused at the same time and stopped on his tracks again when Paro continued " Oh , I didn't tell you about the gift yet naa"..Rudra sharpened his ears.." he has to wait for that because ...my little Rajkumar will take 8 more months to come out" she whispered to the doll's ears touching her belly lovingly and covered her face in shyness...
Rudra held the door for support just finding out the biggest secret which everyone was hiding from yesterday...He couldn't comprehend what he just heard.." Little Rajkumar?..just like his Paro wished!" ...Is he going to be a Bapusa?.. Is he going to have a family on his own?...Is GOD really being this merciful on this Jallad?.. Overwhelmed with flurry of emotions and not wanting to waste any more second, entered the room with his coarse broken voice "Parooo..."
Paro was stunned to hear his voice "Majorsaab, you came...you really came" before she could get up from the bed and run towards him, Rudra covered the steps with a mini sprint and hugged her tight.."Majorsaab, are you ok? are you hurt? you told you can't come back before a week, you ...you don't know how much I missed you , I ..." Rudra shushed her unable to talk but Paro continued "but Majorsaab , how..?"
This time Rudra stopped her lips and with tears brimming in his eyes touching her belly "Our little Rajkumar called me immediately!!" ..Paro's eyes shot up and started to well up.."Thank you for this wonderful gift Paro...Thank you"..Words took a backseat as tears flowed freely from both pair of eyes drenching each others' shoulders with their hug , marking a beautiful moment for this beautiful couple... the moment for the start of a beautiful family!!

Some of you were requesting for an OS from quite some time and tonight thought I will try one before I start on my vacation,,I always wanted to see how Parud would have felt when they are separated after they realize their feelings for each other..infact I was one of those who was rooting for a separation track...but the makers gave me another form of separation track to my disgust.π‘.Also I hated the fact that one of most important love symbol of Parud: the doll was throwed away like a piece of junk in later part..So I have tried my bit to incorporate both in this OS..
Criticism greatly welcomedπ³...so please feel free to commentπ
Cheers π€
