"Ye kya kar rahe ho tum" She looks at him suspiciously as he sat down on bed beside her.

"Sone ki taiyyari, aur kya... " He shrugged his shoulder.

"Yaha kyu.. Kahi aur ja kar so jao".

He faces her " kahi aur kyu? Mera ghar, mera kamra, mera bistar, meri biwi.. Yaha nahi sounga to aur kaha jaun? "

"Mein tumhari biwi nahi, aur na mein tumhe apna pati manti.. Mujhe tumhare sath nahi sona" She protested feeling uncomfortable in his closeness. 

He sighed "Naina mein iss waqt behes karne ke mood mein nahi hu... Subha baat karenge filhal mujhe sone do" He was about to lay down when she screamed.

"Bilkul nahi" He sits back with a jerk.

"Pagal ho kya.. Sabko jagaogi" He hissed.

"Mujhe koi fark nahi padta.. Tum yaha nahi so sakte bas" She ordered.

"Ye to mera kamra hai mein yahi sounga.. Baki tumhe jo karna ho karo.. "  He laid down on bed.

She got up impulsively "theek hai mein guest room mein ja rahi hu" She stomps her feet when he said with closed eyes.

"Haa.. Aur jab guest room mein jaogi to mom dad ko bata dena itni raat tum unke kamre mein kya kar rahi ho". A smile was playing on his lips imagining her face.

"Arey haa.. Mein to bhul gayi maa baba guest room mein so rahe hai" She realised then went towards his side and glared "kisi ki majboori ka fayeda uthana to koi tumse seekhe..tum utho yaha se.. Kahi aur jakar sojao.. "

"Mein nahi jaunga.. Sona hai to yahi mere sath sojao, pehle bhi soti thi na, ab kya problem". He was irritated with her continues rants.

"Pehle mujhe tumhare is girgit si seerat ke barey me pata nahi tha na....itna sab hone aur sun ne ke baad mein tumhare aas pass bhi fatakna na pasand karu" She sarcastically said while he was amused, what's wrong with these women's today, they keeps calling him names, first Anjali now her. "Tab mein aur ab mein zameen aasman ka fark hai...mein tumhare sath nahi soungi matlab nahi soungi because you disgusts me" She folded her arms in Stubbornness

He felt offended at her comment "Mein bhi tumhare sath sone ko mara nahi ja raha...koi hoor pari nahi ho tum, sirf apne bacche ke liye sab bardasht kar raha hu. Jo man chahe wo karo.. Magar mujhe sone do subha office bhi jana hai, jab man kare yaha so jana..mujhe tumhare yaha sone mein koi problem nahi apne bacche ke liye kuch bhi seh sakta hu mein....tumhe bhi" He ignored her rants and went to sleep hoping that now she'll come and sleep...

She felt hurt at his insensitive reply but cursed him and started to pace back and forth in room. She looks at empty space beside him and thought to sleep there but later shrugged the idea. She slumped down on couch getting tired.

"Rakshas kahi ka.. Kaise aram se so rha hai" She cursed looking at him "yaha mein itni pareshan hu neend arahi hai aur isey dekho to... Jarur sau kamine marey honge tab jakar ye ek paida hua" She cried.

He looks at her secretly, she was blabbering something while falling to sleep. He shook his head "maha ziddi hai" He got up from bed taking pillow along. "Naina.. Naina" She woke up "jakar bed par so jao.. Mein couch pe so jaunga"

She looks at couch then at him, "ab aya na oot pahad ke niche.. " She happily takes whole of the bed for herself alone.

_______________

It was morning, She was sleeping in bed, not wanting to leave bed, it was feeling damn cosy when "Naina utho... " That voice broke her peaceful slumber.

"Umm.. Sone do na Gunny" She shuts him, turning side

"Gunny?" Felt enraged, how can she take someone else's name when he her husband is there. He controlled himself "Naina walk par jana hai, come on utho" He said sternly.

"Nahiii... Mujhe sona hai, mein raat me der se soyi thi" She said digging her face in matress.

"Mein bhi tabhi soya tha jab tum soyi..mein utha hu na, Now get up... " He commands her

"You!!!" She woke up and saw him in confusion. She blinked her eyes few , how the hell she landed up here. Did she adapted the habit of sleep walking? Then she slowly remembers the happening of last day. "Go to hell, bloody rakshas" She mumbled Irritatedly.

"Thankyou. Magar uthna tumhe tab bhi padega.. Chalo.. " He caught her arm and makes her sit. "Ufff.. Moti ho gayi ho tum" He tries to trick her up.

Now she was fully awake and was throwing daggers at him "mein moti nahi hu.  Pregnant hu" She sternly said.

He was stifling his laugh looking at her expressions, she is so cute. "Haan naina tum pregnant ho magar, moti bhi ho gayi ho.. Kafi weight put on kar liya hai tumne" He seriously said.

She was worried now, she got up from bed and looks in mirror if she really gained some "haa.. Shayad lagta to hai" She meekly said looking in mirror.

He laughs secretly, she is too innocent "haan.. Magar you can get rid of it, roz subha walk par chala karo.. Or dekhna, within few days you'll be back in shape" He lured her, it's so easy to fool her.

"Haan thik kaha.. Mein abhi change karke ayi" She went in bathroom and starts changing then looks in mirror and realised something. She storms out of bathroom, shouting his name.

He realised that his cover is blown up by this cute enemy of his "okay okay.. I surrender" He raised his hands, accepting defeat before she could bombard him.

She huffed "lier... Tumhe sirf jhut bolna ata hai..shuru se lekar ab tak sirf jhut jhut aur jhut".

"Ha magar ye wala. Jhut mere bacche ki sehat ke liye acha hai na" He teased her.

"Wo mera bhi baccha hai, and I know uske liye kya acha hai" She walks out of room in anger. "And you...usey apni tarah banane ki koshish bhi mat karna" she warns him.

"Kitni teekhi hai ye.. " He shook His head and went behind her.

Rajveer was in washroom and his phone was ringing from past 5 minutes. Naina was irritated with it's continues ringing and decides to pick it up without looking at caller ID.

"Hello, Rajveer nahane gaye hai thodi der bad call karna". She was about to cut the call when the person other side spoke.

" Is that you Naina? " She instantly recognised his voice.

"Ranveer" She confirms.

"Yes its me. Tum ghar wapas agayai... That's great. am so happy. Mein to bhai ko samjha samjha kar thak gaya tha.. Pagal hai wo, jo hua wo.. Mere aur sunaina ke beech tha, usme tumhari galati nahi thi... Magar der aye durust aye... Finally usne tumhe mana liya.. Am glad. Warna dill par ek bojh sa tha."

She spoke with difficulty "Ranveer tum bad mein call kar lena.. Mujhe bhi kuch kam hai" She cuts the call. She was in dilemma, whom to believe.. Her own sister who never did anything wrong, or Ranveer, who faught with his own brother for her. This is getting too much confusing.

Her gaze fell on rajveer who just came out of washroom shirtless, drying his hairs. Her eyes got stuck on his perfect chiseled body. Her throat went dry when a water drop rolls down from his hairs to shoulder to chest to torso.

He caught her gawking at him and smirked "like what you see biwi?" He teased her.

Her reverie got broke. She shook her head "ahh... Wo, mujhe nahana hai.. Kitna time lagate ho" She went in washroom quickly escaping from embarrassing situation while cursing her pregnancy hormones. He chuckled.

________

She staring at her food in plate as if seen most disgusting thing ever "ye kya hai? Isey dekh ke hi ganda sa lag raha hai, khaungi kaise? "

"Natak mat karo aur chup chap kao isey" He ordered her like always.

"Me nahi khane wali it looks disgusting" She makes face.

"Khana padega, it's good for baby and for you health also, chup chap khao". He said while serving his food.

"Mein ye gandi si dikhne wali cheez khaun aur tum aloo ke parathe khaoge? Wo bhi mere samne" She glares him.

"Tum pregnant ho Naina, aisi oily aur heavy cheeze tumhare liye theek nahi.. " He tries to make her understand.

"Ye sahi hai.. Mein pregnant hu to mein nahi kha sakti.. Admiyo ka jata hi kya hai.. Sab kuch hum aurto ko sehna padta hai.. Chahe dard ho ya ganda khana" She sulked.

He sighed and puts his plate away and serves the same dish for himself which she was having "ab se jo tum khaogi mein bhi wahi khaunga.. Chahe wo acha ho ya ganda... Ab khush" She was amazed to see him eating the same dish as hers.. For her? She shook her head, no he just cares for baby and nothing else..and she needs to keep this in her mind, she can't fall for his honey wrapped talks again.

A week later...

"Naina tum ab tak yoga class ke liye nahi gayi" He said coming back from jogging.

"Mujhe nahi jana" She curtly said

"Kya mein jaan sakta hu kyu?" he closed his eyes as she again started throwing tantrums.

"Nahi" She ignored him.

"Naina... " He calls her in warning tone.

"...mera shareer, mera baccha, meri marzi... Tum hote kaun ho mujh par hukum chalane wale" she sternly.

"Tumhara pati aur iss bacche ka baap" he calmly responds.

She was irritated. "Bhaad me jaye pati aur baap..I don't give a fuck" he hissed  at her french "Nahi jana mujhe, man nahi lagta mera, aur itni thakawat feel hoti hai... Sari ladies gossip karti rehti hai i hate it".

He sighed "Get ready, mein bahar wait kar raha hu". He went out leaving her fuming.

He parked his car outside yoga centre and went inside with her while she was confused and later realised that he too is joining sessions with her not just for today but every coming session. She was again amazed at his dedication.

"Naina, you are so lucky, tumhare husband tumse kitna pyaar karte hai" A lady said.

"Aur nahi to kya ek tumhare husband hai jinhone tumhare liye ye session join kiya aur yaha humare husband, unhe to ye bhi nahi pata ki hum ate kaunse yoga centre hai" Another lady said sulking.

"He really cares for you... Kitna dhyan rakhta hai Rajveer tumhara,he loves you a lot.. Am jealous". Naina just gave them an embarrassing smile.

"Care my foot, he just loves himself.. Selfish hai wo, apne matlab ke liye kisi bhi hadh tak gir sakta hai... ghatiya insaan" She mumbled thinking about past incidents.

______________________

"Any special directions? " He asked, while Naina was taking short nap sitting in front of doctor which was amusing him.

"Don't worry Mr. Shekhawat, your wife and the baby is absolutely alright...bas thoda mental stress hai uska khayal rakhna hoga otherwise it can harm both of them, koi aisi baat nahi honi chahiye jis se inka stress ya BP badhe...take very good care of her." Doctor assured him on her regular check up.

"Stress?" He was confused.

"Normally ladies gets stressed during their first pregnancy specialy but in her case... it's more than usual. It was at dangerous level, I even suggested her to go for abortion" his heart skipped a beat. "It was harmful for Naina magar she was adamant on resuming her pregnancy. Jab Dr. Randhawa Naina ko mere pas laye the tab she was no better than a corpse...seems like she was going through some trauma" Rajveer was drowning in shame and guilt. He pushed her to the limits where she is at risk of loosing herself and the child too.

"Doctor do you recommend some therapies aur anything else.." he was worried as hell while keep stealing glances at her sleeping form.

"Filhal to Nahi, everything thing is going well for now aise hi chala to inka stress bhi kam ho jayega, you are taking good care of her, time se exercise, dawai, correct meal, regular checkups... Take care of her..she is still very fragile." He nodded.

"And one more thing I would like to remind you" He listens carefully "keep her cravings full filled otherwise she can get cranky... Aur ha tackle her mood swings very carefully.. It can be the most crucial part for husbands" Doctor said with a hint of humor as he nodded with a smile.

________

"Rajveer... Rajveer utho na... Jaldi uthooo" She shook him up.

He sits back on couch from deep sleep in a jerk "kya hua.. Are you alright? Is the baby okay...chalo hospital chale" He panicked.

"Hum bilkul theek hai" He sighed in releif "mujhe pav bhaji khani hai" He saw time it was past two am.

He looks at her in disbelief "iss time! " She nodded innocently "subha la dunga... Abhi so jao".

"Naaahi... Subha der ho jayegi.. Mujhe abhi khani hai, bahot bhuk lagi hai please... " She insisted like a child.

"Naina.. Itni raat ko kaha se lau pav bhaji, mera chacha ya fufa koi restaurant khol ke nahi baitha" He sarcastically said.

"Tum banao na... Mujhe bahot zor ki craving ho rahi hai" She makes innocent face.

"Mein kaise? Mujhe nahi ati banani" He tried to dodge the situation.

She gives him his phone with a victory smile "ye lo, YouTube se dekh ke banao".

"Magar... " He was still reluctant.

"Mein to chup chap so jaungi, but it's your child also jisey aise time par cravings hoti hai.. Agar tumse nahi hoga to theek hai mein so jati hu..." She said looking at her lightly swollen belly "beta tum so jao, tumhare papa ko neend arahi hai.. Abhi apni bhook ko bolo kal ana...he loves his sleep more than you..iss insaan ko dhong karna bahot achhe se aya hai" She played her card cleverly.

He sighed in defeat "fine am Making it...and dare you say that again..ki mein apne bacche se pyaar nahi karta" He went outside in kitchen.

She smiled gleefully "iske sath reh reh ke mein bhi iske jaisi nautanki baaz ho gayi hu... Bache ke naam se ek bari me maan gaya...ab ache se sabak sikhaungi....baap ban ne ka bahot shuk hai na...to mein batati hu baap kaise bante hai ".

________

He came back in hall after half an hour with her pav bhaji... No its bread bhaji. He saw her sleeping in sofa peacefully, he kept plate on table and kneels down in front of her face. He saw her admirably, a soft smile was playing on her lips, few hair strands were falling on her face. He carefully tucks them behind her ear. She was looking beautiful and innocent. She keeps him on his toes all day long, no one will believe that seeing her innocent face.. He chuckled, only he knows what a cute little devil she is. He felt peace watching her so close to him

He bent a little down over her and placed a feather light kiss on her forehead and slept sitting on floor while gazing her.

"Pata nahi apna phone chhod kar ye kaha gayab ho jata hai" She mumbled walking in halway "suneeta tumne Rajveer ko dekha? "

"Sahab study mein hai" Maid said.

She went in study and saw him sleeping with specs on and a book in hand. He was looking utterly handsome with his ruffled hairs. She felt an urge to kiss this handsome creature and make love to him right here in this damm study room against the wall. She was shocked on her own thoughts.

How can she think like that now..after he abused her pure love in the name of lust...when he shamelessly announced that he used her body to fulfill his sexual urges, do hell with these traitor hormones.

She kept his phone on table then her eyes fell on the book he was reading.
'How to be a good Father' another book kept on table 'pregnancy care'. She went out of the room with a different feeling, she can't let this feeling rule her all over again, it's only gonna hurt her in the end.

________________

"Naina, is he treating you right? Koi galat harkat to nahi ki usne" Sunaina asked.

"Nahi didi wo. Mera.. " She halts in between "bacche ka achi tarah se khayal rakhta hai.. Koi kami nahi hone deta isey.. ".

" Tu sach bol rahi hai na" She nodded "tu kyu uski presence bardasht kar rahi hai, I know tujhe kitna suffocated feel ho raha hoga... Tu kahe to mein sabko uski sachai bata du?".

"Nahi didi, app aisa kuch mat karna" She stops her.

"Tu kyu seh rahi hai ye sab.. Kya wajah hai jo tu chup hai" She asked her getting annoyed with her silence.

Naina creased her belly "iske liye" Sunaina looks at her in amazement all she could see was motherly love on her face "isey iski Maa ke sath sath iske papa ka pyaar bhi chahiye..." Naina looks at her sister "I can't deprive him or her of it's father's warmth...".

"Or agar Rajveer ne is bacche ke hone ke baad isey tujhse alag karne ki koshish ki toh" She was scared for future, she can't see her sister again broken.

"Meine Rajveer ki akhon me iss bar sach mein pyaar dekha hai.. Or jana hai ki pyaar ki chamak kaisi hoti hai" She sadly said "wo iss bacche se bahot attached hai didi, wo aisa kuch nahi karega jiss se hamare bacche ko takleef ho... ".

" Dhokebaaz hai wo, janti hai na.. Ek bar pehle bhi wo ye khel, khel chuka hai... Kya pata ye firse uski koi nayi chaal ho,  wo admi bharose layak nahi hai" She was cautious.

"Am sure didi iss bar aisa kuch nahi hai, wo kuch galat nahi karega... I... I believe him" Sunaina was shocked hearing this.

"Tu pagal hai kya.. You are believing that man.. Again. You are not in your senses wo tujhe.. " She was cut in between by her.

"I want to take this chance... Wo mujhe dobara dhoka de sakta hai.. Isme koi shak nahi" Her eyes misted remembering his betrayal "magar apne khoon ke sath koi daga nahi karega... That we know". She said placing her hand on her womb.. While sunaina gave up.
