Randhir eyes widen seeing the sonogram of his 22week old babies. Now they can easily make out their babies in the sonogram. Sanyukta admires the image of their babies and tears spill from her eyes, tears of joy. Randhir gently caresses his babies through the screen.
Soon they left the hospital with a bright smile on their faces.
'We are going somewhere' Randhir says. Sanyukta looks at him confused but doesn't say anything and simply follows. Randhir gets a cab, since Sanyukta is so far in her pregnancy they have stopped riding around in bikes. Sanyukta had said Randhir drives rashly, Randhir argued he doesn't and it's not humanly possible to drive slower than what he drives. But there is no winning from a pregnant woman, so eventually Randhir gives up.
The cab stops in front of a temple, Randhir gets down first and then hurries to the other side of the car opening the door for Sanyukta. He held her hand tightly in his as he helps her stand. Because of her now slightly heavy belly it has become difficult for her to walk, sit and stand up.
'Why have you got us here?' she asks curiously as they climb stairs to the temple.
Randhir smiles at her 'We need to thank God, right?' he says simply. Sanyukta nods, she is really surprised that Randhir has thought of this.
They quickly prayed, for their bright future with their kids and also thanked for giving them such a beautiful gift. They took the blessings and left happily. After praying Sanyukta feels lighter and better.
'Thanks...'she says to Randhir as sat at the back of the cab with her head on his shoulder, their fingers entwined.
Three weeks later, Sanyukta isn't able to sleep. She is finding it difficult to sleep alone in the room. She turns her head to her side and glances at the alarm clock. Its 2am and Randhir isn't back yet, he had said he has much workload tonight. Sumrit sir is now taking revenge against him for laying in the hospital and wasting so much time. Sanyukta wonders what is taking him so long. Because of work pressure she doesn't want him to ruin his health. She struggles for a while to get up but somehow managed to sit up straight. She gets her phone and checks if there is any message from Randhir, but there is none. She frowns. Holding her belly she managed to stand up, she ties her night robe around her and walks out of the room.
She walks straight towards the lab, as she is about to enter she hears sound of giggles. She slightly opens the door and peeks.
Sanaya and Randhir are standing there, Sanaya seem to have cracked a joke and both are laughing heartily. Sanyukta opens the door completely, they ignore her. Sanyukta frowns folding her arms across her chest. They seem to be in their own world, still oblivious that Sanyukta is standing right at the door. She frowns and presses her lips tightly together.
Sanaya accidently trips and falls forward. Luckily she places her palms on Randhir's shoulder and he held her waist for support. Sanyukta shifts uncomfortable in her place.
'Be careful' Randhir says
'If I have a friend like you then why should I worry' Sanaya says happily wrapping her arms around his neck and smiling widely.
'See, Babies what your Daddy is doing?' Sanyukta whispers bitterly as she caresses her baby bump. She knows now their kid can hear her, she wished they could see too then she and her kids would have thrashed Randhir together.
Unable to take this overdose of laughter, Sanyukta clears her throat. Randhir and Sanaya freeze, they turn to look at her. Sanaya smiles widely at her while Randhir gulps seeing the dangerous expression on Sanyukta's face. He knows very well; he is done for.
'You Idiot...jerk...shameless bu-buffalo' Sanyukta screams throwing pillows at him.
'Sanyu-Sanyukta-calm-down' Randhir replies dodging the pillows which are being thrown at him by his angry wife. Sanyukta is fuming with anger. How dare he ignore her? here she is having restless night thinking about him. She was worried for him thinking he might spoil his health working late and Sirji is laughing his head off with his friend and why the hell did he have to hold her waist.
'Arghh...'Sanyukta says agitated and tried pulling the duvet from the bed. Her grip loosens and she stumbles back. Randhir is quick enough to leap forward and stop her from falling.
'Don't touch me...'she says angrily.
Randhir simply looks at her confused, she flips her hair haughtily and makes her way towards her side of the bed.
'You are going to sleep down' she says angrily. Randhir nods his head like an obedient kid.
**Next day, Randhir enters the room carrying a tray filled with two club sandwich, few cut fruits and a glass of milk. Sanyukta is sitting at the edge of the bed with her cheeks puffed up, she is still angry on Randhir for last night. Randhir sighs in defeat. Now he will have to spend his time coaxing her to eat. He should have send Sanaya or Kritika.
'Sanyu....'
'Get lost' she says even before he could complete his sentence, she is still not looking at him. She gently caresses her tummy.
'Sanyukta, you are angry with me na. Don't look at me...at least have food' he says patiently. But in reality, Randhir is really annoyed. But for sake of the babies and his wife he pretends to be calm.
'You feed me' she says still having her back to him. How is he suppose to feed her and not show his face, he wonders. Randhir gets an idea.
He sits on the bed, Sanyukta turns her head sideways looking away from him. He sighs, with his free hand he then takes a pillow and covers his face with it, while forwarding the plate towards her.
Sanyukta looks at him, she presses her palm over her mouth to muffle her giggles. She composes herself and takes the plate from him.
She smiles and tears a small morsel of the sandwich and removes the pillow from his face. Randhir looks at her surprised.
'Here' she says forwarding the piece of sandwich to him, Randhir looks confused. Sanyukta rolls her eyes stuffs the morsel into his mouth.
'Ahh...'Randhir says
Sanyukta begins to laugh. He glares at her but looking at her laughing whole heartedly he smiles too.
'Sanyukta...'he says softly placing his palm on her shoulder, she stops laughing and looks at him.
'I love you' he whispers. Sanyukta looks away smiling, then she looks back at him 'I love you too' she replies.
Randhir leans in and kisses her forehead, she smiles.
Sanyukta happily walks towards the ISRC reception, 'Hey, Sanyukta Shekawat. I was called here?' Sanyukta asks the young who is standing on the other side of the desk. The girl smiles warmly
'Someone has come to meet you' she says and points towards the visitor's room. Sanyukta nods, she is happy assuming her father has come to meet her. She makes her away towards the room and is surprised to find Vidhushi sitting there going through magazines. Sanyukta's smile fades, she feels irritated with Vidhushi's presence.
'Hey' Sanyukta says dryly. Vidhushi looks up at Sanyukta and then at her belly. She smiles widely.
'Hey' Vidhushi says brightly and comes forward hugging Sanyukta, reluctantly Sanyukta hugs her back.
Vidhushi hands her a tiffin, Sanyukta looks at it confused 'Papa has sent for you, I made it with so much love' she says smiling widely. Sanyukta doesn't know if she is being genuinely nice or she is just pretending, with Vidhushi one can never tell. Nevertheless, Sanyukta is happy that her father has send her tiffin. She feels blessed to have such caring and understanding father, but Sanyukta also feels disappointed as he himself didn't come. Vidhushi places her hand on her shoulder.
'You seem upset, you and Randhir had a fight?' Vidhushi asks, Sanyukta can easily make out she is faking her concern. Sanyukta frowns at her
'Why are you always being negative? Why should I fight with Randhir?' Sanyukta says, normally she would have ignored Vidhushi but again her pregnancy hormones getting better of her.
Vidhushi glances at Sanyukta's belly and then back at her, she smiles twirling the end of hair with her index finger
'How is Randhir's friend Sanaya doing?' she smirks, stressing on the words "Randhir's friend, Sanaya"
Sanyukta frowns, glancing at her tummy every second and then mentioning about fight with Randhir and then talking about Sanaya, Sanyukta understands what her dearest Sister in law is hinting.
Sanyukta's is terribly annoyed, she had expected this since she saw Vidhushi in the visitor's room. Talking to Vidhushi and not getting annoyed is impossible. Sanyukta angrily walks towards the girl's room, she has a left a file there that she needs. Sanyukta decides to focus on work to divert her mind from Vidhushi's useless talks.
Sanyukta places her hand on the door when she hears someone's voice from inside. She presses her ear against the door. She hears someone whimper with pain.
'Sheku...'
Sanyukta freezes on hearing Sanaya's voice, she sounds in pain and Sanyukta gets worried. She is about to open the door when she hears Randhir's voice
'It will hurt for a while Sanaya then you will better...'
'Sheku...it will pain a lot' Sanaya says
'Relax, I have done this many times with Sanyukta. Kuch nahin hoga' Randhir says.
Sanyukta frowns, what are they talking about? She wonders
'Sheku...Oww...God! Please aaram se' Sanaya says
Sanyukta's mouth drops open, are they doing what she thinks they are doing?
'Sanaya stay still...' Randhir says
'Ohhh...Gosh! Sheku...please...please stop...' Sanaya pleads
Sanyukta covers her mouth with her palm.
'Stop overreacting' Randhir says irritated.
'Uff...'
'Sanaya...bas ho gaya...'
'It is burning...oh God, blood....' Sanaya says sounding aghast.
So Vidhushi was right, Sanyukta thinks. Now she has had enough, she takes a deep breath and angrily opens the door. She will catch them red handed and murder both of them.
Sanaya and Randhir turn and see Sanyukta standing there at the door. Randhir looked at her shocked, seeing her deadly expression Randhir senses something is wrong. He is terrified.
**
'What the hell are you doing, Shekawat?' Sanyukta yells. Randhir stands up straight, while Sanaya is seated on the bed
'San-sany-Sanyukta' Randhir stammers, he gulps. Sanyukta marches towards him as fast as her heavy belly lets her. Without thinking twice, she slaps Randhir hard.
'Sanyukta!' Sanaya gasp.
Randhir is stunned but he doesn't react, he knows it's Sanyukta's hormones acting up.
'Shut up, you husband stealer' Sanyukta snaps at Sanaya who is taken aback
She turns towards Randhir and continues glaring at him taking deep breathes. Randhir doesn't respond.
Sanaya rolls her eyes 'Sanyukta, I fell on the ground and hurt my knee. Randhir was just applying ointment...why are you over reacting...damn! Now its bleeding also...I had said you Sheku aaram se...' Sanaya says
Sanyukta's expression changes as she realizes that she misunderstood the whole thing. She looks at Randhir apologetically. Randhir clenches his jaw and leaves from there without a word. Sanyukta feels guilty. She shouldn't have over reacted likes this, without thinking she simply acted upon Vidhushi's words. Since when did Vidhushi's words mean more to her than Randhir, doesn't she trust him? Truth be told, she trusts Randhir more than she trusts herself. She needs to apologize.
Sanyukta goes into their room and finds it empty. Holding her belly she hurried through the corridor leading towards the boy's room. She sighs in relief on seeing Randhir in the room punching the punching bag furiously. She knows, she would definitely find him here.
She walks into the room and hugs him tightly from behind
'Sorry...sorry...sorry' she chants, resting her head on his shoulder and squeezing her eyes tight. Hearing her sincere apologies Randhir melts. He turns around and Sanyukta cups his face
'I shouldn't have slapped you, was it too hard?' she asks
Randhir nods. Sanyukta tiptoes and kissed his cheek. Randhir smiles, if he is to get kiss he will readily forward his other cheek for her to slap as well.
'I know you didn't mean to slap me, it's the pregnancy hormones' Randhir says and then hugs her tight.
Sanyukta bits down her lower lip, it's not only the hormones but also Vidhushi's words but of course she can't say this to Randhir. She pushes negative thoughts away and hugs him back.
