Just because You don't understand,
it doesn't mean it isn't so!

It was almost evening, the afternoon sun was setting in the west and the sky was painted in orange. Birds were flying back to their nests and so were the two in the car.

Anirudh and Bondita sat in the car as he drove back to home. They both were quite, not wanting to talk. They just sat and chained their thoughts. Different thoughts they might had, but their destination was same!... The Happiness of their life partner!..

"You know, what Kadambiri told me?.... Actually she advised " Bondita broke the silence, looking out of the window.

"What?" He asked casually, not really paying attention.

"She told me to ask- no, 'demand' you for a baby!..." Bondita said, chuckling softly searching his face for a reply.

As soon as he registered her words, Anirudh slowed down the car and looked at her with surprise.

"What?" He asked being shocked and confused at the same time. "I mean... I don't know.... How should I react?..."

"It's weird, I know!" She replied smiling lightly and looked out of the window once again. But Anirudh didn't move his eyes away from her.

"So are you planning to do so?" He asked, seriousness evident in his voice.

"Maybe... Maybe not!" She winked at him and laughed lightly. Anirudh was in no mood to be teased and so he raised his eyebrow, indicating the seriousness of his words.

"Ofcourse not, Pati Babu!" She replied, holding his hand lovingly. "She did advice me, but I do have a brain of my own!"

He kept looking at her face, feeling a bit relieved now. No, he wasn't scared of having kids!... But he was scared of having them just for the sake of the society!... He wasn't afraid of Bondita asking him for a baby... But he was scared about her 'demanding' one!... Afterall he too should have a say...

"Pati babu!... I know its a woman's right to ask her husband for a child. But then, its his right too!... If I am to be a mother, you too will become a father, right?... So what's the point forcing you to agree to have a baby?...."she spoke softly.

He had stopped the car in the middle of nowhere. There was no one to be seen, no one to disturb them. She leaned onto his arm and resting her head on his shoulder, she continued speaking.

"You too should be happy, right?.... And yes, I will ask you for a baby! I may compel you too!... But only after I know your fears!... Only after, I know why you are being so aloof to this idea?!...

Until then, I am not gonna fight my Pati Babu and make him sad. And lastly, you must remember, that I Love You the most!... And my love for you, would be least affected by having or not having a baby!... I'll still love you the same, till my last breath." She told him and his lips curved up into a beautiful smile as he rested his head onto hers, holding her hands.

These were the words that he needed to hear. It was always her who would get scared easily and he used to be the one to calm her down, to make her understand that he was by her side always.

But that day, he really needed her by her side. He needed her to understand him!... Understand what he wanted and just tell him that she loved him deeply!...

Sometimes, when words fall short....
Confessing Love, yet again, is the best option!❤️

He kissed her hands softly and spoke up, "Thankyou Bondita!... You don't know how much I needed to hear all this... Just this, that you love me." He said and she looked up into his eyes.

"Yes, I am scared!... And I really won't hide this from you anymore. You know every part, every side of me.... I want you to know my fears too!..."he said with a soft sigh.

Bondita just looked at him, listening patiently.

"I am scared Bondita!.. There are a number of fears in my heart and I don't know where to start.
I am scared for you, firstly!... I am scared to harm you in the process of bringing a new life in this world!...

I am scared for your dreams, your ambitions!... Which you might subside after being a  mother. I know how much women value others' happiness!... And my Bondita, she is a little extra with this.
Plus being a mom!... You are just gonna forget yourself!... Thats what I fear!..."he said and her eyes glistened with tears.

'How much could he  love her?!' She wondered.

"Bondita, I am scared about that new life too!... Like, I don't know if are capable of handling a child!...Would we be able to bring him or her up, balancing everything?..." He said.

"It's not like I dont want to be a father!... I mean, if its a blessing to be a mother, its no less for a father too!... People of my age, all my college friends, are father to atleast two children!... But I dont know if I would be able to fulfill my responsibilities or not?... Will I be able to keep you and pur family Happy?..." He added, his fears being genuine.

Bondita thought for a while and looked up, into his eyes.

"Pati babu, You love me, right?" She asked cupping his face lovingly.

"Is there still something to prove?" He asked suggestively with a tensed smile.

"No, I know you love me!... So just remember one thing!... Till the time we are together, its not gonna be so tough!... Anything can never be so huge, that we, together cant handle it!..."she told him.

"And then, talking about parenthood, its no rocket science!... No one is born a parent! Everyone learns it through experience!..." She explained.

"You tell me, did you learn to be  a husband?.... Or did you learn to be a 'good lover'?... No, right?... But see! You are the best husband any girl would crave for!... And don't even ask about love!..."she said with a huge smile on her face, which got imprinted in his heart too, making him smile at her.

"And about me!.... You don't need to worry at all. Firstly, I am twenty five now!.... That's a pretty correct age to bear a child, Pati Babu. And then, we will obviously consult a doctor before we move any further.
Vibhavari!.... Our Gynecologist! She is such a great blessing for us!.... Every bit of a problem, I can ask from her and that too without hesitating a bit!..." She tried to tell him all her points so lovingly.

"And when I have you by my side, will I ever loose my path?... You are always there to tell me what to do and what not to, if I am stuck.

Still, we won't have a child until You are completely ready and happy!...Is that Okay Pati Babu?" She searched his eyes for an answer.

Anirudh hugged her tightly and sniffing back a little tear he said, "I don't know anything!... I just love you my Jaan!... You are so.. So lovely!"

"And yes!..If your Dugga Maa blesses, we will surely have a baby soon!... But firstly, we'll talk to Vibha and think about both, pros and cons!...is that okay with you?.... I don't wanna hurry in anything!..." He said, looking at her eyes. His happiness was evident too.

Bondita's eyes widened in happiness and she wrapped her arms around Anirudh. Hugging him tightly she exclaimed, "I am so so sooo happy Pati babuuuu!.... I am contented just by the thought that you agreed!... I am hapy with this much too!... You are the besttt!..."

Saying this she kissed his cheek and hugged him, closing her eyes. Anirudh too cupped her face and kissed cheek.

"But Bondita, tell me, you know how babies are made, right?" He teased her, pressing a smirk on his lips.

"Ofcourse! A fairy will come, right?" She teased him back, giggling.

"Not really!... Not a fairy, but a Prince... Your Prince Charming!" He winked at her and she blushed hard, hiding her face in his chest. She softly hit on his arm and he laughed hugging her.

"Wanna have a Handi of Roshogullas?" He asked, still not leaving her.

Bondita lifted her face and looked at him with excitement.

"Yes, please!...Mr. Prince Charming!" She winked excitedly and Anirudh pecked her lips softly.

"Let's go then!"

He drove to a sweet shop and they both ate Roshogullas happily. Bondita, as always looked like a littel kid which made Anirudh fall for her as always.

He wondered how his cute wifey will handle another cute angel....

But he was happy!... Happy that she understood him and didn't fight or 'demand'!...
