And I hope I won't disappoint you guys with the next chapter, so here it goes...

Chapter 1

He was woken by something falling onto his cheek and a noise in the back. Not opening his eyes, he touched his cheek to feel something wet. Jerking his eyes open, he saw water on his hand and confused he looked up only to see his wife crying softly in the silence of their room. He cupped her face with one hand of his making her look at him with her swollen red eyes before she closed them to let go of more tears silently...

He got up immediately and without even asking what was going on, he pulled her into a hug. As she perfectly rested in the crook of his neck, he stroked her hair whispering it's okay to try and calm her down. She held onto him as tightly as she could unleashing the tears and sobs she had held onto for so long now. They stayed in the same position held tightly together with only the duvet that covered her in between them.

Seeing his wife breaking down in his arms, he felt his own eyes well up seeing her state. She had been hurt deeply tonight. And it seemed worse to him since unlike most times, he didn't know what more he could do than continuously reassure her it was all okay. So all he did was hold onto her giving her some support until she would calm down. Once she composed herself and her sobs turned into softer cries, he wiped off the tears that fell from her eyes. Kissing her puffy eyes, he cupped her face questioning her with his eyes.

She looked into his eyes seeing her tears reflecting in his as sadness shadowed his face. She stopped crying and rested herself on his chest while she wrapped her arm around his neck. He knew today she had unleashed her hidden pain, but he hated the way it had come out. And his worst fear was that this was all going to get worse remembering of what had happened when they returned from their dinner tonight...

Flashback

They quietly entered their 3 bedroom apartment trying not to wake up the sleeping family members. She tiptoed her way to the kitchen to see if everything had been taken care of properly in her small absence from her home while he went inside to change. Once assured everything had gone okay at dinner, she was going to their room with a jug of water when Sarika, her younger sister-in-law walked out sleepily with her son Rohit.

The 6 month old infant was continuously crying in her arms as Sarika warmed up some milk for him. She was continuously trying to make her son stop crying when Ishita opened her arms offering to help. Handing over Rohit to her, Sarika and Ishita tried to make the child stop crying and it worked to some extent as Ishita rocked him in her arms.

Amongst all this, Raman came outside to see why his wife was taking so long to come inside on what was going to a special night for them. Upon seeing the sight of her cradling and humming to his their nephew, his lips curved into a smile when her motherly instincts played out in front of him. But seeing how upset she was getting on seeing the baby continuously cry, he walked over taking Rohit into his arms.

Cooing to the infant, he talked to him about how he was so similar to his dad as a child and tickled the child gently. As he continued to rock him carefully in his arms, Rohit calmed down and began to smile at his uncle who snapped his finger in front of him fascinating the child. All the while Ishita looked on at the duo with a smile on her face admiring Raman's bonding with children. But as Sarika came forward to take Rohit from him, Ishita noticed the longing in Raman's eyes to continue being with the child turning her smile upside down and her frown grew when Sarika told Raman...

"Raman Bhaiyya, thank you so much! Only you can handle this bundle of mischief! Trust me, you'll be a great father to your children." She walked off with her son feeding him his milk while Raman dared to look into Ishita's eyes after what Sarika said...

The sadness and disappointment was evident in her eyes. Her lowered shoulders and upset face made him want to tell Sarika off about her comments, but he couldn't.

They both wanted the world to stop talking about their personal life and the fact they didn't have a child. But they stopped every time thinking how many people they would shut up when his parents also began to continuously hint to them that they wanted to see their grandchild, stating they have already seen Romi's child before Raman's.

How could they tell them the truth that they both had been wanting to become parents for years now, but were unsuccessful? How would they tell them all they could do was try according to their doctor? Until now they had put off the matter saying they didn't want children because he didn't want anyone saying anything to her, but now it was evident that the desperation for a child was in the two of them. He hid his desire while she continuously wished and prayed that one day she would take a pregnancy test to get a positive result. Now with his parents asking for their grandchildren and such comments from everyone else, along with seeing how much love he had for children, she wanted to do anything to become a mother while he was wishing there would be a day where she could be able to carry their love in her.

Hurt by the remark they had just heard, they crashed into each other's arm. She wanted to cry but stopped herself not wanting to ruin their anniversary night by upsetting him further and he didn't mention anything to her worried he would make her cry on their special night. Instead they went inside their room holding onto each other and poured out their whirlpool of emotions in the form of love as they passionately made love to each other until they were exhausted...

Flashback Ends

He came out of his thoughts when he heard her mumbling inaudible things out of which he could only make out...

"Sorry...a mother...our baby..."

Trying to control his tears, he caressed her hair while she lay in his arms exhausted emotionally and physically. The impact that such things left on her was much more than the beginning. 2 years ago, she would have blushed at Sarika's words or been happy to hear the statement from her, but something had changed drastically in her between these years. She began to lose her hope and these words that used to seem so sweet, now seemed like taunts to her. They haunted her at night when she wondered how different things would have been had they been successful in getting pregnant. And he knew the same.

He had tried to protect her from any talk about children, but after a while it became almost unavoidable. He didn't like the stares that they got at events or the things people said about them behind their back, and he used to answer back in the beginning but stopped knowing no one would change their opinions. Instead he focused on assuring Ishita that she mattered more to him than a child, and he succeeded to an extent as she could forget the topic for a few days.

But now as she fell asleep with her tear strained face in his arms, he wanted to change this. He was fed up and she was too, he wanted a baby and she did too. They had continuously tried to win over odds to get the happiness of a child, but now as he tucked her into bed, he realized that they would need help in turning their dream into their reality...

~~~~~

The next morning, she had gone onto behaving normally which he knew she would. But her makeup could hide her dark circles from the lack of sleep, her act of putting on a cheery smile could fool anyone making them believe nothing was wrong. But he could see through her, her makeup and smile didn't hide the shadow of longing and defeat she carried around with her. So when she handed him his tiffin that morning, he came closer to her and whispered...

"I promise you I will turn your smile into a genuine one..."

And with that he left the house thinking of what he would do to give them one thing they were missing in their lives. The same thoughts ran in his head all throughout the day. He knew he could easily convince Ishita to consult a doctor, but he had no knowledge on who to go to and what to do.

So his confusion continued on throughout the day until he was seated in his office canteen for lunch. It was his co-worker and best friend Mihir who came up to him and placed a file onto the table he was seated at. Raman picked up the file looking at Mihir all confused as he sat down in front of him...

"Raman, what's wrong? First you almost submitted the wrong presentation and now you messed up all these calculations." He complained making Raman look through the papers realizing how badly he had screwed up and was lucky Mihir was looking after this project instead of someone else.

"I'm sorry. My mind was somewhere else. I'll fix that right now."

"I don't care about that, you tell where your mind was. Seems like something's up." Mihir had been observing his lost face all day and knew Raman was stressed about something, but didn't know what...

"Nothing Mihir, I was just all over the place. I'll pick up the pace on these." He acted normal but Mihir was still unconvinced, but knew when to stop pushing Raman into telling him things he didn't want to.

"You know I'm always here to listen and solve your problems. And if not me, Google Baba is the key to everything!" He joked as he got up to continue working while Raman left the canteen picking up his thing and rushed to his desk turning on his computer.

The next two hours he juggled between his work and the numerous tabs he had open as he looked at the profiles of numerous fertility clinics analyzing & comparing every detail he could between the different clinics. He even called his & Ishita's physician for a recommendation which ended up in another 30 minutes of reading through their website. Finally as he was getting ready to leave the office, he took another look at the two clinics he had shortlisted to talk about with Ishita. And with that, he hoped that someone in these two clinic would be able to help him and his wife in successfully getting a child of their own...
