Morning appeared and randhir rubbed his eyes lazily to avoid those sunrays trying to disturb his sleep.

Searching for his mobile , randhir yawned and looked at other side of bed only to find sanyu sleeping clutching her stomach.

" Hello. ...rahim chacha. ... randhir bol raha hu" Randhir dialled to his garage owner.

"Haa randhir beta bolo kya hua?" Rahim asked from other side.

"chacha aaj main garage nahi aa sakta ....woh aa....meri wife matlab biwi ki tabiyat thodi kharab thi.......par kal main overtime karunga pukka....bass aaj nahi ho paega" Randhir stammered while speaking.

"Areyh beta chalta hai.
Tu ek nahi do dinn ki chutti le.
Main tera pagar bhi nahi katunga.
Aaj vaise bhi kuch khaas kaam nahi hai.
Aur kal main aur chotu sambhal lenge.
Tu bass bitiya ka khayal rakho. .." rahim spoke.

"Thank u chacha....thank u so much " Randhir thanked him with a smile.

"Thik hai beta ab main rakhta hu.
Tu jaa apni biwi ke paas" rahim smiled.

"Jii chacha.....bye" Randhir smiled after disconnecting the call.

Walking towards sanyu , randhir bent down to caress her tresses.
Sanyu moaned lightly feeling his touch.

"Sleeping beauty" Randhir chuckled and went to freshen up.

After sometime,  completing all his morning works randhir came back to check upon sanyu only to find her sleeping.

"breakfast laata hu phir uthaunga" he decided and went down.

"Shambu kaka......aaj plz omelette bread aur juice bana dena" Randhir came down folding his sleeves.

"Morning dad" Randhir greeted harsh grabbing an apple from the table.

"Morning son, where is my daughter in law?" Harsh enquired.

"Sleeping.
Actually she is not well" Randhir said.

A servant served him with some cornflakes and milk.

"Kya?  aur tum ab bata rahe ho mujhe.
Dekhne toh do.
Bacchi bukhar se tap rahi hogi " harsh panicked.

"Dad. ...chill yaar.....bukhar nahi hai.
It's just weakness, breakfast leke ja raha hu main " Randhir lied finding it awkward to tell his dad the real reason.

"Hmm. ...ohk" harsh sat comfortably on his seat.

"and yaa....maine garage se leave li hai do dinn ki" Randhir smiled.

"That's good beta.
It's better to have a husband besides u when a woman is ill" harsh commented.

"ohk....main yeh  breakfast lekar jaata hu upar" Randhir gripped the tray and went upstairs to wake up his beauty.

"sanyu. ....get up......sanyu get up" Randhir kept the tray and started to wake her up.

"Umm. ....kon hai" sanyu rubbed her eyes to see who was disturbing her.

"It's me....ur sadu husband,  remember " Randhir chuckled.

"Haa aaya yaad" sanyu settled properly on the bed.

"How are u feeling now? " Randhir asked in a serious tone.

"not good.
Stomach still paining " sanyu made a crying face.

"Ok now get fresh and have ur breakfast.
U will feel better"

"Hmm. ....." she nodded and tried to get up.

"Let me help" saying he took her in his arms and dropped till the loo.

"go" he smiled making her lips move in a curve.

After a long one hour , sanyu came out  and sat on the couch.

"sanyu come on have this
accha lagega" saying he started feeding her omelette bread.

"pura khatam karna hai tumhe " Randhir smiled.

"Randhir " harsh knocked the door.

"Dad. ...come in .
Door is open" Randhir yelled.

"sanyukta " harsh entered.

"How is my daughter feeling now" harsh carresed her hairs.

"better" sanyu smiled wiping her mouth.

"Hmm. ...good.
Randhir will be with u for two days .
Meri bahu ka achhe se khayal rakhna" harsh smiled.

"Yes dad" Randhir said.

"Ok now I should take ur leave.
Meeting hai ek " harsh smiled.

"Ok dad. Good luck" Randhir wished his dad with a smile.

"Bye dad" sanyu chipped.

"Tumne chutti kyu li" sanyu turned towards him after harsh left.

"Kyu nahi leni chahiye thi?" Randhir pouted.

"Nahi. ...i didn't meant that...but...its ur new job" sanyu stopped as randhir fed her bread.

"U r my responsibility " he smiled thus making randhir's mouth shut.

Soon randhir fed sanyu and made her drink the juice.

At evening :

Sanyu was resting on her bed when someone knocked the door.

"randhir get the hell out of here before I kill u.
Subah se 25 baar puch chuke ho how much I feeling.
Thik hu ab main .
ICU main nahi hu.
I m just on my periods u idiot" sanyu literally yelled thus making him embarrass in front of his father and sister who came to meet sanyu.

Rimi and harsh giggled watching randhir's cute face after getting scolded by his wife.

"Dad aap kyu has rahe ho.
Aur tu.....u better don't laugh on me ok.
Bada bhai hu main tera" Randhir pouted.

"Aww bhai u are so sweet....n cute bhi" Rimi pulled his cheeks.

"rimi" Randhir glared her making her stop doing her work.

"Ok but now u need to go inside" harsh chuckled.

"Khaa jaegi mujhe woh" Randhir shivered.

"non vegetarian nahi hai sanyukta " harsh chipped seriously.

"Haa Haso. ...aur haso" Randhir glared Rimi who was giggling.

"sanyuuuuu" Randhir literally sang only to get a hit by his pillow.

To avoid further embarrassment in front of his dad; randhir closed the door behind him and dodge all the pillows and cushions.

"gadhe shekhawat itni bhi akal nahi hai tumhe.
I m not in ICU nor m pregnant that u will come up every minute and ask me about my health.
It's so irritating yaar.

Atleast mera dimag toh nahi khaoge" sanyu yelled.

Randhir kept on looking at her like a kid.

"Umm. ...how are. ...uhh!  "

"Randhir shekhawat get lostttt before I kick ur ass" sanyu yelled thus making randhir run like n athlete.

here harsh n Rimi who heard every bit  of randhir's insult broke into fits of laughter.

"Haa aaplog toh hasoge hi.
Itni gaaliya maine akele ne jo khai hai" Randhir pouted.

"Aww my son loves his wife so much" harsh commented making randhir look at harsh immediately.

"Love. ..." he whispered.
"aur main......umm. ...pata nahi" his mind alerted but heart skipped  bit for an unknown reason.
