Episode 22
Malhar took care of Kalyani however best he could in the following weeks of her first trimester. The smell of cooking was nauseating her, so he didn't allow her to cook or do any other chores but she insisted that she didn't want to sit doing nothing. "Mujhe koi bimari nahi hui hai, aise baiti rahungi to bore ho jaongi."
"Ye lo, salad ke veggies kat do, atta gundo, phir ye juice blend kar do." he gave her simple tasks.
He followed the instructions of Anupriya and Aao Saheb to prepare healthy meals for breakfast and lunch. In spite of the medicine the doctor had given, Kalyani still had nausea and vomited almost after every meal and sometimes in between too. Still he made sure she ate something at regular intervals.
It was not an easy task to make her eat and he did give in to her demands and choice of foods too. It was he who packed her lunch and healthy snacks for her to munch in the office and would call her or message her to enquire if she had eaten it.
As Malhar wasn't able to leave early from work everyday, dinner was usually sent over by her Aai or Pallavi chachi through Nal or Sarthak. She had no appetite for all those foods but didn't want to trouble any of them with her demands.
During weekends Swara pitched in to help her brother with the household chores and take Moksh to the playground. Knowing Kalyani's craving for chocolates, she sometimes secretly brought them, "Vahini jaldi chupa lo, agar dada ko pata chala na toh meri khair nahi. Aur haan, jyada mat khana bohot sugar hai in me Isliye dada mana kar re hain. Pata hai na tumhe?"
"Thank you Swara, mai bas chote chote bits hi khaungi, tum fikar mat karo."
All her demands either reasonable or unreasonable, turned towards Malhar. During morning breakfasts she made a big fuss and he had to cajole her to get the food and the glass of milk down her throat.
She hated the protein rich ladoos which Anupriya had sent for her. She was not allowed to drink coffee or tea and the sight of milk made her puke.
Moksh was surprised to see this change of behaviour in his Aai and also did his part to help his dad.
"Aai, dekho mai good boy ke tarah kha ra hun na, tum bhi waise good girl ban jao." He took the spoon from his dad and brought it to her mouth, "Aa Karo Aai, jaldi…...mujhe school ke liye late ho ra hai, teacher daantegi."
Kalyani reluctantly opened her mouth and ate what he offered and then tried her best to finish what was on her plate.
Once Moksh had observed his mom eating a big bar of Cadburys dairy milk at one go and remembered that his dad had asked her not to eat too many chocolates.
The next day during breakfast, "Baba ! Aapko pata hai, Aai secretly chocolate khaati hai aur woh bhi itna bada cadburys bar." Moksh let the cat out of the bag.
"Kalyani….? Tum chup chupke chocolates mangake kha ri ho. Main tumhe roz ek bit deta hun na."
"Aatya leke aati hai Baba.." Moksh gave up their secret completely.
"Acha ? Thank you Moksh, Aatya se main puch lunga."
"Pillu, tum apne Baba se meri shikayat kar re ho. Tumse baat nahi karni mujhe." Kalyani was annoyed at her son.
"Usne teek kiya…."
"Kya teek kiya? Aur aap ise mera chamcha bolte hain, ye to aapka private investigator nikla. Train kar re hain na aap ise, mujhpar nazar rakhne ke liye."
"Woh sirf apni maa ka khayal rakh ra hai...tumhe jo samajna hai samaj lo. Chalo ab dono ko drop karke mujhe bhi police station jaana hai."
They went for the second month checkup and saw the development of the baby in the scan. Kalyani's tummy was sporting a small bump by this time. Every morning Moksh spoke to the small little life in his mother's stomach while Malhar did the same at nights tenderly stroking her belly.
One morning, Kalyani woke up earlier than usual and went into the kitchen. Malhar was still sleeping as he had come home quite late. She was craving to have some tea and decided to make some. As she was boiling the tea leaves with water, Malhar entered the kitchen, "Kalyani ! Mujhe uta diya hota ! Hato mai tumhare liye doodh ubal deta hun."
"Malharji, aap bohot thake lag rahe hain, kitna kaam karenge? Mai help karti hun na, I'm sure mai ye smell bhi adjust kar lungi."
"Ye kya Kalyani, chai kyun bana rahi ho? Tumhe to doodh pina chahiye na?"
"Malharji mujhe doodh nahi chahiye, chai pina hai, bas ek baar…."
"Kal bhi tumne yehi kaha tha. Mai tumhe hafte me do teen baar chai pine deta hun na? Puri tarah se band tho nahi kiya…"
"Please Malharji, sirf aaj… please."
"Bilkul nahi, isliye tum mujhse pehle utkar yahan aayi ho, secretly chai pine. Pata hai mujhe ki aaj kal tumhe mai sabse bada villain lagta hun par koi baat hai."
"Haan aap bohot bure hai, maine suna ki pregnant ladki ki har wish puri ki jaati hai, Lekin aap to Mujhe ek cup chai tak nahi dete… " she snarled with irritation.
Malhar also lost his temper. "Acha?? Mai tumhari koi icha puri nahi karta? Har roz breakfast aur lunch me tum naye naye cheezein maangti ho, kaun banata hai sab?"
Kalyani looked at him, her eyes flashing anger, as he burst further, "Boiled eggs banaye to tumhe bread toast aur omelet chahiye, omelet banaya to scrambled eggs…...roz mujhe ek hi kaam do baar karne padte hain. Moksh bhi tumse samajdar nikla, chup chap kha leta hai."
"Malharji….." her face was getting redder 😡.
"Mujhe lagta hai ki agar mai koi cooking competition me bhaag lunga toh jeetne ka chance hai, utne recipes maine tumhare liye seekhe hain in do mahinon me."
"Agar itni problem hai aapko toh mat kijiye, maine aapko force nahi kiya… Aaj se mujhe jo chahiye mai khud bana lungi."
"Tumhe toh har wakt kuch chatpata hi chahiye hota hai. Koi bhi healthy cheez pasand nahi hoti hai…"
"Agar aap pregnant hote, tab pata chalta aapko ki kaise cravings hote hai... ek chai kya pina chaha itna suna rahe hain aap mujhe…..ab main aapse kuch nahi mangoongi." her eyes held tears as she turned and walked out of the kitchen.
The morning went in silence after that, both only talking to Moksh who sensed that they were upset with each other. Malhar who as usual dropped them didn't give her any of the instructions that he generally did everyday. "Bye Kalyani, khayal rakho apna, koi pareshani hai to call karna." were the only words he said before driving away.
Malhar felt miserable the whole morning, his concentration away from work. "I shouldn't have shouted at her. Hormonal changes, mood swings and food cravings are a part of pregnancy. I should deal more patiently." he was berating himself in his mind when Anupriya walked into the police station.
"Malhar tum itne pareshan kyun lag re ho? "
Hearing her voice, he cleared his mind, "Nahi Aai koi pareshani nahi. Aap yahan? Sab teekh hai na?"
"Malhar ab Kalyani ke teen mahine pure hone wale hain, hume ghar pe ek choti si rasm karni hogi, bas ghar walon ke saath."
"Teek hai Aai, bathaiye kya karna hoga."
"Are kuch jyada nahi, mai taiyyari kar leti hun aur muhurat bhi fix kar leti hun bas tumse puchna tha isliye… "
"Aap apni beti ke liye jo karna chahti hai kar sakti hai, mujhe puchne ki zaroorat nahi hai."
Anupriya caressed his face tenderly, "Tum bohot thake lag rahe ho, iss weekend tum sab hamare yahan aa jao, thoda aaram karlo."
He nodded his head and walked out with her as she hailed a rickshaw.
Kalyani was still angry at him but the office environment lifted her spirits and soon she was busy. As she walked out with Seema and another girl for lunch, she saw Malhar waiting for her near the lift. Her friends excused themselves and walked away. She walked towards him, "Aap yahan, iss wakt?"
"Main tumhare saat lunch karne aaya hun.. Batao kahan bait sakte hain."
"Neeche garden bench pe." They took the lift down and seated themselves at the garden bench. She began to unpack the food when he stopped her and exchanged it with the packet he had brought.
Kalyani opened the packet to find her favorite golgappas with all the required ingredients packed separately. He laid out a paper towel and made it for her one by one and was rewarded with a look of contentment as she gobbled them up.
"Thank you Malharji, Lekin ye bahar ka food nahi hai kya?" she asked, giving a sarcastic look.
"Nahi ye maine specially banwaya tumhare liye, Alka ke dost se."
Kalyani's eyes teared up as she thought about their morning argument. "Sorry Malharji, aap mera itna dhyan rakhte hai aur mai….." She kissed his cheek.
"Kalyani kya kar ri ho, ye public place hai."
"Toh kya hua, mai apne pati ko kiss de ri hun." she kissed his other cheek too.
Malhar blushed and she arrested that look into her heart for the rest of the day.
At the end of the third month, the scan showed a developing baby and Kalyani's bump was a little more prominent. Aao Saheb, Pallavi, Swara and Anupriya had gathered in Kalyani's home for the Chor Oti. It was a simple function meant only for family members. Kalyani was made to sit on a chair. Haldi kumkum was done and she was given blessings in the form of betel leaves with betel nuts, fruits and flowers.

Episode 23
Kalyani had entered into the fifth month of her pregnancy and her belly was blooming with the life growing inside. Her morning sickness had subsided and nowadays she felt hungry very often. She had to increase her intervals of intake but could eat only small amounts at a time. Since she felt better, she helped Malhar with the cooking in the mornings though still at times they were at loggerheads about her eating habits.
They craved each other's proximity but were careful and often satisfied themselves with only cuddles and kisses.
Moksh also followed his dad's words and was careful near his mom but he never missed a chance to talk to the little one about his friends or his day at school.
As days passed, Kalyani began feeling the baby move inside her and cherished those experiences.
"Malharji, baby move kar raha hai, feel kijiye." She took his hand and put it on her stomach one day. Malhar felt it too and they shared an emotional moment.
A month had passed and each passing day was different in their lives now. There were some smooth and easy days while some other days were not so.
Moksh was ready for school and waiting impatiently for his mom to come out of the room. His dad had finished packing their lunch boxes and was ready too. “Baba ! Aai itni der kyun laga rahi hai.“
“Aai ab tak bahar nahi nikli? Main jaake dekhta hun.”
Malhar knocked on the bedroom door and got no reply. “Kalyani.... Kalyani ! Der ho ri hai, kya kar ri ho andhar? Koi madad chahiye to bolo.”
He didn’t get any reply but he could hear whimpering sounds so he got worried and just pushed the door open. She was sitting on the bed, wrapped in a bathrobe with tears In her eyes which increased Malhar’s anxiety.
“Kalyani, kya hua, kahin dard ho ra hai? Batao mujhe, ro kyun rahi ho?” He held her face stroking her hair gently.
Moksh was now wondering why his baba was also taking so long, and went into the room, “Baba ! Kya hua aai ko?”
“Kuch nahi Moksh, tum bahar hi wait karo, hum aate hain.”
“Lekin....Baba !”
“Moksh, Maine kaha chup chap jaake bahar baito.” Hearing his father’s stern voice, Moksh went and sat down in the living room.
Here Malhar was trying to find out what was bothering his wife, “Kalyani ! Baat kya hai? Kuch bataogi....” he urged.
In reply she just clutched the bathrobe and lowered her eyes but did not utter anything. Malhar was holding on to his patience, clenching his fist to control his anger and avoid an unnecessary argument. “Kalyani jab tak tum bataogi nahi, main tumhari pareshani kaise samajh paonga.”
“Saare pareshani ki wajah to aap hi hai, aur ab yahan aise bhole banke baite hain.” She mumbled to herself.
“Kuch kehna ho to zor se kaho, muh mein kyun bad bada rahi ho. Bohot der ho gaya, jaldi bolo Kalyani.”
“Mujhe aaj office nahi Jana. Aap aur Moksh jaiye.”
“Kyun nahi jaana? Agar tabiyat kharab hai to main tumhe doctor ke paas le jaata hun, chalo.”
“Aap mujhe akela chod dijiye, mujhe kahin nahi jaana.....jaiye aap yahan se.”
“Kalyani.....” he tried to talk again patiently but she cut him off, “Jaiye Malharji.....”
At that moment Moksh came in again and called out his dad, “Baba....” and Malhar’s anger turned at him, “Moksh tumhe meri baat samaj aati hai ya nahi.”
Now Moksh felt upset and he began to cry, “Baba.....sorry, bohot late ho gaya, teacher mujhe daantegi, main aaj school nahi jaunga.”
“Acha....? Tumhari aai ko office nahi jaana, tumhe school nahi jaana, main to pagal hun na jo itni subah utke, saara kaam khatam karke tum dono ko drop karke phir police station jaata hun.”
“Malharji, aap mera gussa Pillu pe kyun nikaal rahe hain? Abhi time hai, Jaiye aur use jaldi drop kar dijiye.”
“Gussa? Main gussa nikaal raha hun? Hunhhh..... Kabse puche ja raha hun, lekin tumne apna muh khola? Teek hai mat batao. Chalo Moksh, tumhe to aaj school jaana hi hai chahe teacher daante ya na daante aur agar daant khaya to apni aai ko zaroor batana kyun ki aaj tum usi ki wajah se late hue.” He dragged Moksh along and dropped him in school. Luckily he was not late and was saved from a scolding from his teacher.
Malhar went to the police station and went about the work which had to be attended immediately. He was immersed in his work when he got a call, “Hello ! “ he said absently as his mind was preoccupied with the case file.
“Malharji, ab mujhe yakeen ho gaya hai ki aap ko meri fikar hai hi nahi...” he heard the annoyed voice of Kalyani which brought him out of his file.”
“Kalyani... kya bakwaas kar ri ho, subah se ajeeb tum behave kar ri ho aur ab mujhpe baras rahi ho. Problem kya hai jaldi batao, mujhe bohot kaam hai.”
“Hamesha aap ko kaam hota hai, mere bare me sochne ka wakt kahan hain aapke paas. Maine socha aap Moksh ko chodke wapas aayenge, lekin nahi, hunhhh....”
“Kalyani....” Malhar was scratching his forehead in defeat. He sometimes had no idea how to deal with her ever swinging moods.
“Dhyan se suniye Malharji, aap jaldi ghar aayiye, emergency situation hai.”
“Emergency? Kya hua Kalyani? Acha teek hai mai jaldi pahunchta hun.” He was now up on his feet signalling Pawar.
“Pawar mujhe thodi der ke liye ghar jaana hoga tum sambhal lo. Agar koi problem ho to mujhe phone karna.”
When he reached home, Kalyani was sitting on the sofa, wearing one of her loosest t-shirts and a skirt. “Kalyani, kya hua hai tumhe, kya emergency hai? Doctor ke paas chalen?"
"Nahi, nahi, ye waisa wala emergency nahi hai."
"Dimag ghoom gaya tumhara, tabhiyat teek hai toh aisi kya dusri emergency aa gayi jo tumne kaam ke beech mujhe ghar bulaya?"
"Aap kitne insensitive hai Malharji… " she began but Malhar was super annoyed. He didn't raise his voice but sternly told her off.
"Tum apni halat ka bohot faida uta rahi ho Kalyani, mai ek responsible post me hoon, aise har wakt tumhare bulane par ghar me nahin bait sakta."
She on the other hand was waiting for an opportunity and shouted. “Faida uta rahi hun? Haan, aap ko aisa hi lagega na, aap ko ye sab problems nahi face karne pad rahe hain, aap to humesha ki tarah fit hain, jo bhi kapde pehenthe hain hot dikhte hai. Meri problem dikhayi kaisi degi aap ko.” She turned her face from him.
He wore a look of confusion, “Hot dikhta hun… bakwaas pe bakwaas kiye jaa rahi ho. Ab ye hot dikhne wali baat kahan se beech me aa gayi. Please batao do baat kya hai, kyun ki mujhme guess karne ki shakti nahi hai.
Kyun tum subah se chidi hui ho?” He cupped her face and asked her tenderly.
“Aap ko to kuch dikhai nahi deta kyunki ab aapko mai achi nahi lagti hun. Main moti ho rahi hun Malharji, mere kapde, under garments kuch bhi fit nahi ho rahe hain. Dekhiye maine kya pehna hai, aise jaongi mai office?"
"Kalyani, to isme itni badi baat kya hai. Pregnancy me weight gain to hota hai. Hum jaake tumhare liye maternity kapde khareed lenge. Is choti si baat ko lekar tum subah se itna shor macha rahi ho. Ab mujhe jaana hai wapas kaam pe, main tumhe baad me le jaunga shopping."
She glared at him, "Choti si baat? Baby hum dono ka hai lekin aap ko koi pareshani nahi utani pad rahi hai, saare problems mujhe hi sehne pad rahe hai. Kyun hamesha ladkiyon ko hi sab sehna padta hai? Kitna unfair hai ye? Aur ab main moti ho rahi hun toh aap mujhe pasand bhi nahi karenge."
"Maine kab kaha ki tum mujhe pasand nahi ho. Tum moti ho ya dubli ho, ya jaise bhi ho, mujhe har haal me pasand ho. Sach me tumhara dimag kharab ho gaya. Ab mard pregnant nahi ho sakte to isme meri kya galti hai? Chahti kya ho tum? Mai bhi toh apne taraf se sab kuch kar raha hun."
"To phir aap mujhe abhi shopping le jaiye. Prove kijiye ki aapko moti Kalyani bhi pasand hai." she was being unreasonable and really adamant. So he took her shopping to avoid any further war of words. She bought whatever she needed and ate her favourite ice cream before picking up Moksh on their way back. Malhar dropped mother and son near their house and drove back to work.
Malhar had a very hectic time the rest of the day and it was very late when he came back home. Kalyani and Moksh had slept after dinner. He took a shower but didn't even have the energy to warm his food and ended up eating a cold dinner. Though at times, he was exhausted, he loved his wife, knew that her mood swings were the result of pregnancy hormones and was trying his best to balance everything.
He sat beside her on the bed and kissed her forehead, his hand caressing her belly when he felt a movement, a complete somersault kind of movement and despite all his tiredness Malhar felt bliss in his heart. He had read that a child in the womb could understand and respond so he had made a habit to speak softly to his child every night. This night as he spoke, he got a soft kick in response. He placed a tender kiss on the spot and laid down beside Kalyani, a smile on his lips, his hand still on her stomach. His eyelids were heavy and he fell asleep immediately. Soon Kalyani sensed his presence. She turned towards him, nuzzling his chest while her belly comfortably rested on his body.
