@mignitydesire @Ratikifan This is specially for both of you. I hope you all like this. Finally gathered courage to write this. 😀😀

A lady in her early 30s was preparing food in the kitchen, she was tensed over something. She thought "unhe batao ki nahi iss baare mein.."

The doorbell ringed, she turned off the stove and moved out of the kitchen. She unlocked the main door and opened it. She looked and the man standing in front of her was smiling.

It seemed he was happy for something, he moved inside and closed the door.

He lifted her up and twirled her around in happiness, she was shocked "Vineet kya kar rahe hai aap?"

"Are baat hi kuch aisi hai.. Tum sunogi toh aise hi khush hogi" he said.

She sighed and said "Aap pehle mujhe neeche utariye"

He left her down, she took a deep and glared at him "aisa koi karta hai kya.. Ab bataye kya baat hai?"

"Maine tumse kaha tha ki mere business ke liye I need good investment and project jiss I will be on top" he said.

She nodded in yes "haan aapne kaha tha.."

"And I got it" he replied.

A smile appeared on her face, he kept his hand on her shoulder "ab sab thik hoga Manvi.. Tumhe koi zarooratein apni kum nahi karni padegi.. Hamare paas sab hoga ab.. Bas ek saal aur Manvi phir hum aage soch sakte hai"

She smiled fakely "I am happy for you Vineet.. Aapka sapna sach hone jaa raha hai" she was happy for him but something was worrying her.

He noticed something is worrying her, he asked "kuch hua hai kya?"

She denied "nahi Vineet.. Kuch nahi hua hai main toh bas yahi soch rahi thi ki ab aap aur bhi mehnat karenge zyada tar busy kaam mein rehenge main akeli kya karungi?" she asked making a face.

"You are going to help me with it.. Jaise ab tak karti aayi ho" he replied while pulling her closer and holding her from waist.

She smiled and said "wo toh main karungi hi.. Acha Vineet ek baat puchu?"

"Haan pucho" he asked while looking straight into her eyes.

"Wo.. Vineet iss beech agar main.." she paused, she was hesitating in telling him. She was scared how would he react.

"Bolo na" he said.

"Nahi aap fresh ho jayie main khana serve karti hun phir kabhi puch lungi itni bhi khaas baat nahi hai" she freed herself from his grip and turned to go.

He held her wrist and asked "pakka?"

"Ji.." she replied in return.

He let her go, she moved into the kitchen. Tears slipped down her eyes and thought "main aapke sapne ke beech ye responsibility nahi daal sakti hun Vineet.. Kal hi mujhe hospital jaana hoga"

She wiped her tears from her eyes, she took the food and arranged it on the dining table. Vineet returned after a while and they had the food together.

The next day, Vineet left for office. As soon as he left, Manvi took her phone and called someone. "Hello Ahana.. Haan main abhi tumhare clinic aa rahi hun kuch urgent hai wahi aake batati hun"

She moved out of the house, locked it. She took the cab to Ahana's clinic. She reached the clinic in 20 minutes, she moved in and straight went to Ahana's cabin.

Ahana smiled seeing her "itne din baat kaise yaad aayi meri" as she was good friend of Manvi and Vineet.

Manvi said worriedly "Ahana.. Mujhe wo.."

Ahana asked "kya hua? Sab thik hai?"

"I am pregnant" she replied while lowering her gaze. A smile appeared her face hearing this..

She hugged her "Wao.. congrats yaar.."

Manvi did not hugged her back, Ahana seperated and looked at her tensed faced "why are you tensed Manvi?"

"Mujhe abhi ye bachcha nahi chahiye.. I want an abortion" she replied shocking Ahana.

"Have you lost it Manvi.. Tumhari Vineet ki shaadi ko 2 saal hua hai and tum pregnant ho this is the next step yaar" Ahana explained.

Manvi remained determined on her decision "mujhe abhi maa nahi banna hai Ahana.. Please I want to abort the child and you have to help me' she requested holding her hand.

Ahana looked at her and sighed.. "Are you sure you want do this? Ek baar Vineet se puch lo.."

"Dekh tu meri madad karegi ki nahi? Ya main kisi aur clinic jau?" she almost shouted.

Ahana nodded "thik hai.. Kal subah aa jaana I will do it" she replied.

Manvi smiled lightly and left from there with teary eyes. She returned home and was surprised seeing Vineet early.

"Kaha thi tum Manvi? Main kabse phone kar raha hun tumhe? Phone kyun nhi utha rahi thi tum mera?" he questioned her worriedly.

"Apni dost Ahana se milne gayi thi Vineet, aaj aap itni jaldi kaise?" she asked.

"Important file bhool gaya tha wahi lene aaya tha" he replied.

Manvi unlocked the door and they moved inside. "Main leke aati hun aapki file" she said while keeping her phone on the table.

She moved to the bedroom to get his file. Manvi's phone ranged, Vineet looked at the caller ID. It was Ahana calling, he picked up the call and before he could say something.

Ahana said from other side "Manvi tum ek baar phirse sochlo.. Dekh jaldbaazi mein decision mat le.."

"Kaunsa decision Ahana?" Vineet finally spoke as he was confused with her words.

Manvi came and snatched the phone from him "Ahana I will call you later" she ended the call.

Vineet gave her questioning look, Manvi handed him the file "Aapki file.. "

"Kya sochna hai Manvi?" he asked.

Manvi smiled and replied "kuch nahi Vineet.. Maine bas ek project ke baare mein usse discussion kiya tha toh wahi kah rahi thi wo"

Vineet seemed to be satisfied with her answer, he left for office. Manvi took a deep breath and sat down on couch.

The next morning, Vineet got ready to leave for office. She hugged him from behind and said with teary eyes "sorry..."

He held her hand and pulled her in front, he asked "sorry for?"

"Itni important conference hai aapki aur main nahi aa paa rahi hun aapke saath, agar meri tabiyat thik hoti toh main zaroor aati" she replied.

He smiled and said "it is fine Manvi.. Tum bas apna dhyan rakho okay?"

She nodded, he kissed her forehead lightly and left for office. As soon as he left, she also moved out of the house with gap of 10 minutes. She reached Ahana's clinic.

"Nurse inhe OT mein le jao main aati hun" Ahana ordered.

Manvi walked with the nurse, on the way she looked at the baby pictures. She was controlling her emotions. She entered inside the OT, she changed and wore the clinic dress.

"Aap laith jayie doctor Ahana aati hi hongi" the nurse said.

Manvi nodded, she laid down on the bed. She was scared, nervous. She kept her hand on her belly and thought "sorry but mujhe ye karna hoga.. Option nahi hai mere paas koi"

She closed her eyes and tears slipped down her eyes. The OT door opened, Manvi said "jaldi karo Ahana.."

There was a silence from her side, she opened her eyes and looked. She was left shocked seeing Vineet standing there.

She sat up and looked at him. His eyes were filled with fixed emotions, anger and pain. He was not expecting this from her.

"Vineet aap.." Manvi said fearily..

He showed her hand in anger and moved out with saying anything. Manvi got down and followed him.

She held his wrist to stop him "rukiye Vineet.. Meri baat suniye"

He jerked her away and moved out of the clinic. Ahana was standing there, she looked at Manvi and said "Sorry Manvi.. He called me and I had to tell him everything"

Manvi smiled painfully "acha hua unhe pata chal gaya.. Tum abortion kardo ghar jaake main unse baat kar lungi.."

Ahana was left in disbelief.

At home

Vineet was sitting down on couch, hiding his face in between his hands. Manvi arrived after sometime, she saw him. She kept her hand on his shoulder.

He looked up at her with anger and stood up "kar aayi apni manmani? Haan?" he shouted at her.

"Jo kiya aapke liye kiya Vineet" she replied with teary eyes.

"Mere liye? Tumne mujhe batana bhi zaroori nahi samjha that you are pregnant.. Aur itna bada faisla akele kaise le sakti ho tum haan?" he was hurt with her behaviour. For the first time, he was raged at her.

Manvi looked straight into his eyes and replied "aapne hi kaha tha mujhse jabtak aap business ache se set nahi kar lete hai hum aur responsibility nahi uthayenge.. Aur main bhi aap par ek reponsibility nahi daalna chahti thi jo aapke sapne ki beech rukawat bane"

His eyes welled up with tears and he said "tumne ek baar bhi mujhse pucha ki main kya chahta hun? Haan maana maine kaha tha par iska ye matlab nahi hai ki tum abortion karwa lo.. Wo bhi meri ijazat ke begair.."

"Koshish ki thi Vineet par aapne jab wo investment waali baat kahi main nahi kah paayi" she explained.

"Tumne mujhe bas itna hi samjha hai Manvi haan? Kya ye bachcha sirf tumhara tha? Are bhagwaan ne diya tha toh kuch soch samajh ke hi diya hoga na.. Why did you do this? Ho jaata manage sab.. Mere liye tum pehle ho baaki sab baad mein, mere sapne success sab tumhare liye hai ek baar mujhse pucha to hota main kya chahta hun" he shouted in pain.

He never wanted her to take such big step because of him. He turned to other side and tears slipped down his eyes.

"Kya chahte hai aap Vineet?" she asked.

"Mere chahne se kya farak padta hai Manvi?? Tumne toh kar li na apni manmani.. I am sorry galti meri hai maine hi kaha tha abhi mujhe bache ki responsibility nahi chahiye.. And tumne mere liye ye.." he sighed.

"Lekin ab toh aapko uthani hi padegi.." she said with a smile on her face.

He turned to her and asked holding her hand "kya matlab??"

"Jab aap aaye they OT mein maine aapki aankhon mein dekha mere liye gussa.. Ki main kya karne jaa rahi hun I realised main galat thi.. Mujhe aapko batana chahiye tha aapse ek baar puchna chahiye tha I am sorry.. Ab faisla aapko karna hai.. Maine abortion nhi karwaya hai" she replied.

A smile appeared on his face, he cupped her face "sach??"

She nodded with tears slipping down her eyes. "Aur karwana bhi nahi.. Tumhe pata hai tum pagal ho.. Iss bache ke aane se hi toh hamari kismat chamki hai.. Mujhe achanak se ye bada project mil gaya." he said.

To which she smiled..

He pulled her into her embrace.. "Phir kabhi mujhse kuch mat chupana aur na aise faisle lena.. Mere liye" he said.

"Nahi lungi.. I promise.. Sorry Vineet.. Really sorry" she replied.

He kissed her forehead lightly, to which she smiled. 

Love is not only about sacrificing for each other, It is also about understanding. Never take a decision which involves your partner alone.
