Early morning in Mr. & Mrs. Nigam's house, a cat-dog fight was going on between the married couple.

'It's not my responsibility to wake you up, got that idiot?' Mrs. Nigam shouted in frustration from the kitchen.

'Then it's not my responsibility to earn, nonsense', saying this Mr. Nigam went away to the room. He didn't realize what he had just said. Mrs. Nigam, aka Vaishnavi, froze on her spot, listening to his words. She badly wants to earn, but she is not getting hired by anyone. This affected her mind as she started thinking that she was not worth anything passing the time.

Somewhere, Abhishek knows this and tries to cheer her up, but today, in anger, he hurt her.

Vaish brushed her thoughts off, reminding him he was in anger, but no one had the right to say anything even in anger.

After a few minutes, Abhi came out to see her setting the table. He knew that he messed up this time.

He back hugged her, whispering a small sorry.

'Sorry, don't be sad', he kissed her left cheek, trying to comfort her.

' I am trying, but-' She stopped feeling a lump in her throat.

'I know, vaish, I am sorry! Please forgive me, I-' He was cut off.

'It's ok, I just feel useless now', she whispered, leaning her head back.

'You are not. You are managing the whole house, you do a lot vaish. Now cheer up, you have one more interview today, remember?' He tried diverting her mind.

'I am not ready to get rejected again', she whispered, going into the kitchen.

'But I am confident that my vanish would be selected', he said cheerfully, taking the plates from the cupboard.

She smiled a little, taking out water. She tried to be confident again.

'And moreover, from when my Vaish started thinking negative?' He asked, raising his eyebrows.

'Yeah, I should be positive', she said, coming towards the table. They both sat down and had their breakfast.

'Good girl and I am dropping you before leaving, okay?' He asked with a mouth full of food.

'Yeah, yeah, now eat you, idiot', she laughed seeing his funny face. Finally, he got succeeded.

Skip to interview

'Don't be nervous, I am sure you will pass it, okay?' Abhi said, hugging her.

'I will give my best', vaish replied smiling.

'Great, call me later on', he said, pecking her cheek.

'I will now go or else you will be late', she said, coming out of the car.

'All the best', he wished her before leaving.

Vaish smiled, looking at the car. She took a deep breath and entered the building.

With each step, negative thoughts were coming. Suddenly, one message popped up on her phone. She smiled, reading it.

"Stop overthinking and be positive"- Abhi sends her.

She smiled, keeping her phone in her pocket.

Soon, her name was called out, and she went in clutching the file in her hand.

The interview started, and time passed by vaish came out from the cabin smiling ear to ear.

She quickly left the building while calling Abhi. It was received in one ring. Before he could speak, she shouted excitedly, 'I did it, Abhi'

Her voice was saying how happy she was right now, and Abhi couldn't keep his calm, too. He was happy more than her.

'I knew it, I am so happy for you even more than you. Now go home first and have lunch, I will try to come early today. We will go out for dinner in the evening,' He replied, controlling himself from going crazy as he was in the office.

'Yes, I will be waiting for you. I love you, bye, "she replied happily.

'I love you too, bye,' He said, cutting the call. Both are happy, Abhi excitedly tells his colleague about his wife's job. He was happy too as he knew about it.

In the evening,

Abhi came home with a cake to surprise her. He opened the lid and rang the doorbell, vaish opened it quickly. She was greeted with cake in front of her by a cake fairy named Abhi.

'Congratulations, Wifey' was written on the cake. It was her favorite chocolate cake.

She smiled widely, hugging him from the side. 'Thank you so much, I love you', she kissed his cheek, bringing him inside.

' I love you too, now cut it come', he said, going towards the dining table and holding her hand.

She went to bring a knife while Abhi put on a romantic song. She smiled, listening to it. She cut the cake and both fed each other. Suddenly, he grabbed her waist, pulling her into a romantic dance.

She pecked his lips, swaying along with him. They enjoyed the moment and soon got ready for dinner.

After dinner, both went to the Marine Drive before coming back home.

After 2 months

' Vaish, come fast breakfast is ready', Abhi shouted from the kitchen.

'I am coming' shouted back from the room while combing her hair into a neat ponytail.

In these two months, they both managed everything by dividing household chores.

Abhi took responsibility for preparing breakfast and lunch while Vaish cleaned the house in the meantime. Vaish cleans dishes in the evening as she comes around 6:30 and cooks dinner for both of them. As Abhi comes back at 7:30, getting fresh, he will help her set the table. Both will have dinner together talking about their day.

After dinner, Abhi will clean the dishes, and Vaish will clean the table and kitchen counter. Later on, both will watch TV spending some time together.

That's how their lifestyle works. They both make things work out pretty well.

And right now they are in a hurry as they are going to the new amusement park as it's Sunday. Both planned a whole day outside.

They are rushing because they don't want to wait in line for entry tickets.

They had breakfast and Vaish cleaned dishes while Abhi went to get ready.

Soon, they left in the car, getting excited for the day. They spend the day as per their plan.

They are coming back home after having dinner.

'Abhi, I want to ask you something', Vaish spoke, getting nervous. He glanced at her, replying, 'Say it',

'When we will plan for the family?' She whispered, but it was enough for him to hear.

'Are you ready right now?" He asked, looking straight.

'Yes, but if you are not ready, then we will plan later on', she replied, staring at him.

He sighed, saying, 'I decided to plan after two years of our marriage as I wanted to enjoy myself together with you', he said parking the car as they reached home.

'So next year?' She asked, looking at her hands. He removed the seat belt, turning towards her.

Taking her hands, he said, 'I know you love kids, even I do! But we would not get enough time for each other after having a child, so I want to live sometime like this with you.'

After some minutes, She looked into his eyes while he was already staring at her.

' I got it. We will plan for next year. Okay?' She smiled, kissing his hands.

He kissed her cheek, and both came out of the car.

They both surely understand each other that's why they are living in peace.

After 1½ year

They are going to the clinic for regular check-ups. Vaish is 3 months pregnant. They got to know about this 2 months back. Both were happy and celebrated the news by watching a movie at home with snacks.

She went to the office daily, and Abhi didn't stop her as he knew she was not sick. There were no complications, and the doctor allowed her to live normally.

Today, they are going to see their baby. They are so happy.

During the whole process, Abhi was standing by her side, holding her hand. They cried seeing the tiny baby on the screen. Its head was seen perfectly.

They took the photocopy and went out thanking the doctor. They discussed Vaish wanting to work, and the doctor allowed it, saying it was no harm.

' It's so small,' Vaish said, staring at the photocopy in her hands.

' I know right, after 6 more months, she will be in our arms,' Abhi said, starting the car.

' No, it's he', she snapped back angrily.

'OK, ok, it's him. Calm down,' He replied, seeing her glare. He doesn't want to see her anger on this happy day, for sure.

'Let's buy ice cream.' She screamed to see the ice cream shop.

He stopped the car, looking at her in disbelief. She was switching moods like TV channels.

'What?' She asked, raising her brow.

'Nothing, let's go,' He said, moving out of the car. She too came out, and both went inside to have some treats.

' chocolate and butterscotch each' Vaish ordered looking at the glass box.

'Let's go and sit Vaish,' He said, grabbing her arm.

'Don't you want to eat some?' She asked, looking at him.

' You ordered butterscotch for me,' He said, looking at her confused.

' No way, both are mine, dude! If you want some, then order a new one, "she replied, walking towards sit.

Abhi looked at her wide eyes. The owner laughed a little, listening to them. Abhi looked at him. She was an aged woman in her 60s.

'It happens when a woman is pregnant,' she replied, smiling at him.

Abhi looked at her confused, like how she got to know Vaish was pregnant.

' Her small baby bump says it all. She replied, seeing his confused face.

Abhi glanced at Vaish and smiled, ordering one for himself.

Vaish is 7 months pregnant, and her baby bump is visible. Abhi started getting worried and kept requesting Vaish to take maternity leave. But Vaish doesn't want to take one as she thinks, she will get bored at the house all by herself.

For household chores, Abhi kept one maid so he could take care of Vaish completely. This is another reason Vaish thinks she will get bored.

'Please take a leave. Your legs get swollen by night Vaish. Try to understand me,' He requested, holding her hands.

' But I will get bored at home', She pouted, looking down. He was kneeling in front of her while she was sitting on the couch.

'I will find out something to overcome this boredom, then will you take leave?' He requested her

' I am scared to be alone', She whispered, crying slowly.

This shocked Abhi.

'Why sacred?' He asked calmly.

'What if I need to go to the hospital all of a sudden?' She replied slowly, and he got what she meant.

He didn't know the reason behind her going office for this long was her fear.

There was silence for some minutes. Vaish was crying silently while Abhi was thinking deeply.

' OK, you go to the office. Alright, now don't cry, "he said, wiping her tears and standing up.

Vaish hugged his waist while he caressed her head. He was thinking of calling his and her mom from Delhi. He wanted to ask them before telling her, as they both are busy working women.

3 days later, on Sunday. Vaish was taking a nap while Abhi was checking emails. Suddenly, the doorbell rang. Abhi opened the door and welcomed his two moms.

'She is sleeping right now', Abhi said to them.

'Let her sleep, she would be surprised to see us' Abhi's mom replied drinking water which Abhi brought for them.

'Yeah, till then we will get fresh', Vaish's mom said.

'You both go, I will bring the bags', Abhi said.

After an hour Vaish came out of the room to see her both moms sitting on the couch.

She quickly walked towards them saying ' Mom' Both looked at her.

'Vaishu' and 'Vaish' were heard in return.

They spend the evening talking with each other.

After 2 months their baby girl was born and named her Tiya Nigam. Abhi's wish was fulfilled of having a girl child. He brought lots of soft toys and cute and comfy dresses. It looks like Abhi is already spoiling her and Vaish is letting him do it as she is just a kid who would not be spoiled.

' Tiya, say, papa, come on baby say papa', Abhi said to 11-month-old Tiya who was staring at him while playing in her play area.

'Say pa and then pa, say, papa, come on baby say papa', Abhi said showing her favorite stuffed dog.

Tiya glanced at him and crawled towards him.

'Yes mah baby, say papa, say pa-' He was cut off by Tiya taking the stuffed toy from him. She crawled away with it.

Vaish laughed witnessing everything from the kitchen. Abhi sulked hearing her laugh.

' She will speak Papa first then Mama, got that' he said to Vaish while going towards the couch.

' We will see that' Vaish replied cooking dinner.

'Pap pa', Tiya whispered making Abhi look at her with wide eyes.

Abhi quickly sat beside her saying, 'Baby say again, pa pa, come on Tiya say PA pa', This caught Vaish attention. She ran towards Tiya and sat in front of her.

'Did she just say papa?' She asked Abhi while getting excited.

'Pa-pa' Tiya said tapping on Abhi's hand.

They cried upon hearing it. Abhi quickly took her in his arms and kissed her cheeks making her laugh out loud as for her chubby cheeks it was a ticklish feeling.

'My Tiya, say papa again baby' Vaish said kissing her hands.

'Pa-pa' Tiya said making them cry out of happiness. Abhi pulled Vaish in a hug.

And here Vaish's wish of having a small family got fulfilled.
