Rishabh enters the room sees a worried Prerna come out of the washroom. “Prerna, is everything ok?” “It does not concern you.” “You are my wife my family everything about you concerns me.” “I…I… I bled a little.” “What?” “It happened last week too.” “And you are telling me about this now.” He makes an appointment with the best OBGNY in town as she did not have one. The doctor wants to do an ultrasound after mentioning the bleeding happens sometimes. “Mr.Bajaj, would you like to accompany your wife?” He gets off the chair but halfway sits back down as he thinks Prerna might not want him to. She sees him hesitating he wants to but can’t because of her. She raises her hand and firmly holds his pinkie, just like Kuki did when she was scared. The doctor does the ultrasound. They see the little dot on the screen and hear the heartbeat .Prerna looks at Rishabh, he has a smile on his face and tears in his eyes. 'Why?This is not even his child.' She thinks. The doctor leaves them alone. Rishabh feels Prerna’s gaze on him. “You want understand Prerna. It is this moment and moments like these that make a man realize that he is a father. He is responsible for this little life. It gives immense joy, dil aur aankhein dono bhar aate hain. Thank you for allowing me to share this moment with you,for making me a father again.” “Father?” Prerna asks. “Like you are Kuki’s mom I am this child’s father forever. When you told me you were pregnant trying to make me take back the deal I made a promise to myself that I would love,protect and raise this child as my own. It is mine. It is ours just like Kuki is ours.” She holds his hand, they share smiles and tears.
