All: Really?

Sharva nodded their heads in yes. All parents were happy. Akshara cupped her face.

Akshara: Majhi mulgi yevdhi mothi kadhi jhali? Ata ti Aai banar aahe. Majha anand gaganat mavat nahiye. Mi Aaji honar!
[Translation: When did my daughter grown up this big? She is now going to become a mother. My happiness has no limits. I'm going to become grandma now!]

Appu: Aai, Baba, tumhi doghanni mala kharach maaf kelatna?
[Translation: Mom, Dad, you both really forgive me?]

Aditya and Akshara nodded in yes. Apurva had tears of happiness. She hugged her parents tightly and cried. After few minutes, she composed herself and took blessings of all the elders and kept sugar in front of God, thanking him.

After 3 months
Apurva and Shashank had gone for Apurva's checkup.

Dr: Congrats Mr. and Mrs. Nigam, you will be blessed with twins.

Apurva and Shashank had tears of joy. Before going home, they went in a temple and took blessing of God and prayed for safe birth of their child.

After 6 months
Apurva was getting labour pains so Shashank quickly took her to the hospital. Dr. immediately shifted her in OT. She was crying in pain. After one hour, instead of Apurva's crying, crying of 2 small babies was heard. All were happy and had tears in their eyes. Dr. and Shashank came out of OT with one child in their hands.

Dr: Congratulations, it's boys. Have you thought of the names? As I need to fill it in their birth certificate. If not, then decide and tell me in one hour.

Akshara: How is Apurva?

Dr: She is fine just tired. She is sleeping right now. You can meet her in half an hour.

All: Thank-you Dr.!

Dr: It's my duty.

Dr. left from there giving one child in Akshara's hands. Shashank gave other child to Swati. Both kissed the children's forehead. After half an hour, Apurva was awake. She was already shifted in cabin. They went inside her cabin. As soon as Apurva saw her kids, her eyes filled with tears. Shashank gave her the babies. She kissed their foreheads and was staring their faces. She placed them in her lap and made them sleep. Once they were asleep, she kept both of them in the cradle.

Shashank: Congrats Mrs. Nigam.

Appu: Same to you, Mr. Nigam.

Swati: Koi naam socha hai donoke liye?
[Translation: Have you thought of any name for both?]

Appu and Shashank nodded in yes. All waited for their answer.

Appu: Elder twin who is this, (pointing one baby) will be called Siddharth Shashank Nigam. And younger twin who is this (pointing other baby) as Abhishek Shashank Nigam.

Shashank: Because Siddharth looks like me so his name starts from S and Abhishek looks like Appu so his names starts with A.

All clapped but slowly not wanting to disturb baby Sidshek's sleep. Shashank completed all the formalities and after 5 days, Apurva was discharged. Instead of going home, they went to an apartment. Appu was confused. Their parents were also there. Appu was welcomed there with Arti. Shashank took her in one room which was totally decorated with baby stuff and their photos and one wall vacant for their princes' photos but their was Siddharth and Abhishek written in calligraphy. Appu was shocked to speak anything. She was looking it with wide eyes and huge smile.

Like this how days passed no one got to know as all were indulged in most important work, to look after Sidshek and play with them while nurturing good values in them. Like this 5 years passed. Yes, 5 years. It was one day to Sidshek's 5th Birthday.

(Guys, I'm changing the pic here as in the previous one, Sidshek were more than 5 years old but in this, they look approximately of 4 or 5 .)

Sidshek: Nanu, Nani, Dadu, Dadi, Mumma Papa kab aaenge?
[Translation: Grandpas, Grandmas, when will mumma papa come?]

They asked in their cute voice.

Saket: Ate hi honge.
[Translation: They must be on the way]

Suddenly his phone rang. He saw the caller ID and smiled.

Saket: See, it's of your papa only. (He picked up the call) Hello Shashank? What? We are coming.

He cut the call hurriedly. He was so shocked. Tears were flowing from his eyes. Sidshek got confused and hugged Saket.

Thats it for today!
685 words
What Saket heard from other side that he got so shocked?

Finally Sidshek's entry in my story. Sorry for a little short Chapter but it was necessary as from next chapter onwards, all focus is on Sidshek only.
Stay tuned to know!
