CHAPTER 10
After two days it was Akash's birthday. Ananya had planned not to call him and act as if she had forgotten his birthday. Whole night Akash waited for her call. Next morning he woke up, took a bath and came down for breakfast. Natasha and Prashant wished him and Natasha asked, "Kya baat hai beta, subh se tera mood off hai?" Akash replied, "Ananya bhul gayi mera birthday." Natasha and Prashant looked at each other and winked. Actually, they both knew about Ananya's plan. Natasha said, "Ye to bohot galat baat hai uski...haina Prashant?" Prashant too nodded his head and said, "Aur nahi to kya? Pati patni ka birthday bhul gaye ye to common hai par pheli baar suna hai patni pati ka birthday bhul gayi." Both laughed at this. Akash gave a fed up look and said, "Aap dono ka ho gaya ho to main jaa raha hun..." Saying this, he left and Natasha and Prashant burst into laughter.
Akash went to office and was still waiting for Ananya's call when Shreya came in and asked, "Kya baat hai? Phone nahi aaya kya abhi tak?" Akash gave her a confused look. Shreya came forward and sat in front of him and said, "Ab ye mat khena ki tumhe kaise pata chala? Kya hai na main aapko bohot ache se jaanti hun. Aur is time aapki shakal par likha hai ki aap uski call ka wait kar rahi ho." Akash smiled and said, "Hmm! Ye to sach hai...vaise na ab maine use baat nahi karni hai." Shreya said, "Vaise mujhe lagta hai ki vo aapko sirf pareshaan kar rahi hai." Akash said, "Pata hai mujhe." Shreya asked, "Matlab" Akash smiled and walked towards the window and continued, "Kya hai na uska plan acha tha par usne ek galti kar di. Maa papa ko bata dia. Unki shakal dekhkar hi main sab samajh gaya. Bus ab main use surprise dene wala hun." Shreya walked towards him and asked, "Matlab kaise?" Akash told her his plan and in the end Shreya said, "Thoda zyaada nahi ho jayega?" Akash said, "Haan par koi baat nahi...maza bohott aayega." Both gave each other a cruel smile.
In the evening Ananya came back home and was surprised to see that Akash hasn't came back. She waited for a few minutes and then decided to call him. The convo -
An - Hello Akash! kaha ho?
Ak - (in a drunk tone) Tumse matlab?
An - (shocked) Akash tumne pee rakhi hai?
Ak - Tum hoti kaun ho puchne waali? Main jo chahun karun.
Suddenly Ananya heard the sound of a girl.
An - Ye larki kaun hai tumhare saath?
Ak - Koi nahi... ab tum phone rakho.
Saying this he disconnected the call. Ananya broke into tears. Natasha came and asked, "Kya baat hai beta?" Ananya told her the whole thing and everybody was shocked. Akash then winked at Shreya and said, "Ab tumhari baari.." Shreya smiled and called Ananya. The convo -
S - Hello Ananya! Mujhe pata hai tum kyun ro rahi ho. Mujhe Akash ki location pata chal gayi hai.
A - Really! Kaha hai vo?
S - Hotel Nightingale. Room N. 1257. Jaldi aao...aur suno akele aana.
A - Kyun?
S - Are pata nahi na vahan kya hoga? Aunty uncle wahan aayenge to...you know.
A - Acha thik hai!
She disconnected the call and ran out of the house after informing everyone.
Ananya reached the hotel and ran to his room. There she saw Shreya. She went upto her and asked, "Kaha hai vo?" Shreya said, "Ananya ro mat na." Ananya shouted, "Ro nahi to kya karun? How can he do such a thing. Main uski kitni respect karti thi." Shreya controlled her laughter and said, "Vo us room mein hai tum jao...main nahi jaungi." Ananya asked, "Kyun?" Shreya said, "Nhai Ananya ye tumhara matter hai." Ananya was about to say something but Shreya left.
With heavy steps, she moved towards the room. Slowly she knocked at the door and found that it was open. She entered inside. It was totally dark inside. Akash slowly came from her behind and closed the door. Ananya turns at the sound of door. She was shocked to see Akash. he came towards her and held her shoulders. She asked, "Tum ye kya kar rahe ho?" Akash said, "Kyu tumhe kya laga? Sirf tum hi surprise de sakti ho?" Ananya looked at him with wide eyes. Akash then told her about the whole plan. Ananya smiled at her own stupidity. Before she could say something, Akash picked her up and took her to the bed and lay on top of her and kissed her. She said, "Kya iraada hai?" Akash replied, "Thik nahi hai." He was about to kiss her neck when Ananya's phone rang. Akash in a disturbed tone picked the phone from the table. He saw that it was Natasha. He looked at Ananya and said, "Ye apne pote potiyon ko paida nahi hone dengi." Ananya blushed. Akash picked up the phone. The convo -
N - Beta bol kya hua?
A - maa main hun...ananya mere saath hai.
N - Tu? Ananya to khe rahi thi kit u...
A - Vo actually main use pareshaan kar raha tha. Ab hum saath hai...koi problem nahi hai...bye.
N - Acha acha sorry to disturb you. Bye.
Akash disconnected the call and switched off her mobile. Slowly he kissed on her neck on removed her clothes. And finally after 1 long year, they consummated their marriage.
6 MONTHS LATER...
Akash woke up before Ananya. He looked at her and smiled. He then slowly kissed her and went to take a bath. He then came down to have breakfast. Natasha asked, "Ananya so rahi hai kya?" Akash replied, "Haan...maine socha uthaun but phir socha sone deta hun." Natasha said, "Haan beta sone de. Vaise bhi uthkar kaam karne lag jayegi. Kitni baar kaha hai use ki..." "Ki aisi haalat mein zyaada kaam karna thik nahi hai. 5mahine ki pregnant aurat hai par harkateen bachon jaisi hai...etc. etc. haina?" Ananya completed her sentence. Everybody smiled and Ananya sat down. Akash gave her the plate. After finishing the breakfast, Akash bid everybody a goodbye and then left for the office. Ananya too started doing some or the other work and Natasha started scolding her and this is how the whole day passed.
After Akash's birthday, both went for a honeymoon and after a month Ananya told Akash about her pregnancy. Akash was literally jumping like a child when he came to know about it. And from that day, he used to take a lot of care of Ananya.
In the evening, Akash came back home and announced, "Maine aaj bohot socha aur final kia hai ki meri beti ka naam Araina hoga. Ok?" Natasha asked, "Beta hua to?" Akash said, "Mujhe pata hai beti hi hogi. Dekh lena." Ananya said, "Acha! Itna confidence?" Akash came closer to her and said in low voice, "Gender to maine hi decide kai hai na? To mujhe pata hai." He winked and Ananya blushed.
After dinner, Ananya and Akash sat in the balcony looking at the sky. Ananya said, "Sorry Akash!" Akash asked, "Kyun?" Ananya looked at him and said, "For everything." Akash came forward and hugged her slightly. A drop of tear fell from his eye. Ananya wiped it and asked, "Kya hua?" Akash said, "Kuch nahi...vaise hi." Ananya looked at him for some time and said, "I Love You" Akash smiled and said, "I know." Ananya slapped on his chest and hugged him.
Both stood there for a long time, thinking about their journey.
