FEW YEARS LATER.....

Angad

Meera-Angad!!
She whined near my ear.

Angad-What happened Princess??
I asked as l rubbed my eyes.

Meera-I want...
She started.

Angad-Chocolate!?
I asked, cutting her off.

Meera-No.. l want....
She started, again.

Angad-Wait!! Let me guess.... Pani Puri!!?
I asked.

Meera-Your gonna get flying Chappals now!!
She said, giving me a death glare.

Angad-Ok!! Chill!! Tell me what you want...
I said as l sat on the bed.

Meera-I want Maggiiii!!
She squealed and trust me when l say her mood swings are the hardest to handle but this looks like an easy one.

Angad-That's it!?
I asked. Confirming it as well. She nodded with a huge smile. I smiled.

Angad-Let me wash my face and be right back...
I said and she nodded again. I quickly washed my face and came back. She opened her arms widely and l chuckled. I carried her in my arms and she immediately wrapped her arms around my neck and legs around my torso.

Angad-Only Maggi!?
I asked. She hummed as she played with my already messed up hair. I smiled as l settled her on the slab and went in search of the instant noodles.

Angad-Are we out of stock Princess!?
I asked as l searched the drawers.

Meera-Yes!!
She squealed and l hit my forehead on the drawer.

Angad-Why didn't you tell me before!?
I asked as l went to her.

Meera-I didn't know you was searching for it!!
She said and pouted. I sighed.

Angad-I'll go get it and be right back!!
I said.

Meera-I wanna come!!
She whined.

Angad-Ok!!
I said and grabbed my car keys. She happily interwined her hands with mine getting off the slab. I smiled. We left to the nearby store which does it's service for 24*7. I got the instant noodles, quickly and we drove back home.

Meera- I am hungry!!
She said as she quickly got herself comfortable on the slab with my help.

Angad-Relax!! It would be done in sometime!!
I said and she nodded, pouting. I chuckled and got into work.

Meera-Don't put green peas!!
She said, quickly as l was gonna put it after the carrot.

Angad-Meera!!
I said, sternly.

Meera-Nooooooo!!
She whined.

Angad-But...
I started but was cut off by her.

Meera-Monday is green day!! You are the one who put the timetable!!
She said, rolling her eyes.

Angad-That doesn't mean you'll not eat green's on other days!!
I said. It's a tough job to get her eat greens such that l even had to put a timetable for that.

Angad-Oh!! No! See the peas fell inside!! I did nothing!!
I said after l wantedly put the green content in the hot oil.

Meera-I Hate You!!
She said.

Angad-Awwww!! I Love You too!!
I said, pissing her off. She rolled her eyes as l put the cooked noodles in the bowl. I took a spoonful of food and blew air to the hot food before l gave it to her.

Angad-There you go!!
I said as l kept a spoonful of food near her mouth. She turned her head away instead.

Angad-Princess!!
I sighed as l kept the food aside

Angad-You should get nutrients for the little one right... Come on!! I let you eat your junk cravings as well....
I said caressing her hair.

Meera-Aaaa!!
She said, opening her mouth. I chuckled and fed the food.

Meera-Yummy!!
She squealed.

Angad-See...
I said and she grinned, nodding. I later fed her cravings and washed the dishes as well.

Angad-Your not gonna go back to sleep!!?
I asked as l saw her sitting on the swing. She patted the empty space next to her. I was confused but still went and sat beside her. She gently sat on my lap and encircled her arms around my neck. I wrapped my arms around her waist as she hid her face in the crook of my neck.

Meera-I am not feeling sleepy!!
She said. I nodded, caressing her hair. We was silent, being in eachother's warmth when l remembered my conversation with Sis the other day. She suggested me to do a maternity photoshoot.

Angad-Princess!?
I called her, slowly thinking she was asleep.

Meera-Hmmmm....
She hummed, looking at me.

Angad-Shagun suggested me of a maternity photoshoot the other day! You wanna do it!?
I asked.

Meera-Nope!! Wearing clothes one after one, doing makeup, hairstyle then pose! My God!! That's a lot of work!!
She said, dramatically. I chuckled. She might be a little lazy during her pregnancy.

Angad-All these happens once in a lifetime! We have to capture the memories before it's too late!!
I said and she pouted as she went into thinking.

Meera-Ummm... Ok!! Let's do it!!
She said, smiling brightly.

Angad-Great!! I'll inform Shagun then!!
I said . She nodded. Later on we talked randomly and in no time she slept off in my arms. Her slight smile, Her beautifully closed eyes, Long lashes, Pink Cheeks are something which l could never stop admiring even though she is asleep or awake. I kissed her forehead as l laid her on the bed. It was already four in the morning. I sighed and sat beside her with my Laptop. I started checking my emails while caressing her hair with another. At around seven l got a call from Shagun.

Angad-Eight Wonder of the World! You are awake so early!?
I asked, quickly.

Shagun-Jiju!!
She whined and l chuckled.

Angad-Ok chill!! Any problem!?
I asked.

Shagun-Nope!! You messaged me about the maternity photoshoot right!?
She asked.

Angad-Yah!!
I said.

Shagun-Well.... l've got three to four photographers! All of them are wonderful! You can choose one of them!
She said.

Angad-Ok! You've sent them to me!?
I asked.

Shagun-Yeah! But we might need to buy a little accessories and dresses which off course Ra is gonna sulk about!
She said and l chuckled looking at my sleeping Meera.

Angad-Ok then! I'll ask her about which photographer she wants to do and everyone can do the shopping together!?
I asked. It would also be like spending time with eachother.

Shagun-Ok!!
She squealed and l chuckled. We hanged up after wishing Good Morning to each other.
It was at around nine, thirty when Meera woke up.

Meera-Good Morning!!
She said, tiredly as she snuggled closer to me with her arms around my torso and head on my lap.

Angad-Morning!
I said, smiling. She later freshened up while l made Breakfast for both of us.

Angad-Meera these are the photographer's Sis suggested me!
I said as l pushed my tab towards her. She pouted as she looked at all four of them.

Meera-I am fine with anyone but don't drag me to do shopping!
She said, raising her hand. I chuckled.

Angad-Fittings should be done anyway!
I said and she nodded, drinking her juice.
Later that day we selected a female photographer as l was not ready to give any man a free show to stare at her through the camera for a perfect shot. A female one is much much better.
Anu, Vish and Siya was totally out of there senses when we let them do the shopping. Me, Asad, Darshan, Yuvi and Meera sighed as we looked at them coming towards us with three trolleys of dresses and accessories. This is the third time!

Darshan-Are you girls gonna buy the whole shop or what!?
He asked and the rest of us chuckled.

Vish-Well probably if everything was our size D!!
She said.

Asad-Anyway girls! We'll select out of these dresses and bill them!
He suggested and everyone nodded. Another half an hour passed by and we was now on our way to home.

Meera-My God Shaa!! Stop squealing!
She whined.

Meera-Yah!...... Ok.... it's the next week! Fine Mumma that's noted!
She whined, again as she jotted something on her phone at the same time.

Meera-Love you too Shaa!!
She said and hanged up.

Angad-What happened!?
I asked as l conentrated on driving as well.

Meera-Shaa told me the photoshoot is next week!
She said and l hummed. We later reached home, talking randomly.

***

Today was the photoshoot. A week had passed in a blink. I smiled as she came out of the dressing room. Looking just like a Princess.

Meera-I know l am beautiful!
She said, smirking looking at me. I chuckled as l settled her head accessesory properly. She rested her hand on my shoulder, smiling.

Angad-I know you are beautiful and would always be!
I said, pulling her closer to me. She lowered her gaze as l was busy admiring her. She blushed as l carressed her cheek. The sparks are still the same even though we are married for a long time. We are never bored of making love to each other and would never be. Kisses, Hugs and Fights happened countless times in these six years of marriage but at the end of the day. We love each other and we are husband and wife. Our bond became stronger and we fell for eachother a little more after all the compensation and forgiveness.
I heard a camera click sound and both of us didn't dare to look up. I can feel all of them around us. Shit Angad!!

Shagun-Click more Anu! No instructions needed for them to romance!!
She said and everyone chuckled.

Anu-You are right Shaa!
She said, giggling.

Meera-Shut up both of you!
She whispered, blushing. I let go of her as there were some photos to be taken.

Meera

Life was really a beautiful non-fictional romance in my life. I smiled as l looked at Angad. I can never get over his handsome face and nor could l put a stop to his endless romance.

Maira-Ok Meera! For today we are done! We'll have the next photoshoot at the beach!
She said and l nodded with a smile. She is my photographer Maira. Such a sweet girl she is.
We left home and l was beyond tired. I sulked on the couch while Angad locked the door.

Angad-What happened!?
He asked, caressing my hair as he knelt on the floor.

Meera-Nothing happened! Relax!!
I said, hugging him. He sighed as he hugged me back. I caressed his hair as l snuggled to the crook of his neck.

Angad-You sure everything is fine!?
He asked, again and l sighed looking at him still enlocking my arms around his neck.

Meera-I... l saw Raghav!
I mumbled, looking down. His hold around my waist tightened. I know he's gonna be angry as l didn't tell him before itself.

Angad-Did he do something!?
He asked, softly.

Meera-He said he still loves me!!
I mumbled again clutching his collar.

Angad-Relax Princess! Just say everything clearly......
He said, caressing my cheek.

Meera-I... l was coming out from the Studio.... when l bumped into Raghav by mistake...
I said and he nodded.

Meera-And then.... He quickly said he still loves me..... l didn't want to create a scene in public so l came to our car.
I said, blinking back my tears. Though everything was sorted few years back. I still feel like it happened yesterday! His dirty touches is what l could recall every time.

Angad-Just calm down! Take rest for sometime and then we'll go for your evening walk!?
He asked. I was shocked but still nodded. Won't he react about Raghav!?
He carried me in his arms and l silently enlocked my arms around his neck, resting the side of my head on his shoulder. In sometime he laid me on the bed and covered me with the blanket while l was busy thinking about his new behaviour.

Angad-Call me if you need anything!!
He said and l nodded. He kissed my forehead and left while l was beyond confused. This isn't the Angad l know!
With all these thoughts surrounding me l fell asleep. Later l woke up and Angad took me to our daily walk at the park. He still didn't react! Is he Okay!? I thought as l took a book from the shelf. We came back from the walk sometime ago and he got himself busy with his Office work while l didn't want to disturb him. I pushed the slider door and the cold wind tickled my face. I smiled and walked towards the little cucoon swing hanging on the balcony. I made myself comfortable on the swing with the thick comforter around me. I started reading the book, when suddenly Angad came out.

Angad-It's cold! Come inside!
He said.

Meera-I wanna be here for sometime!
I said and he sighed with a smile.

Angad-You might catch cold Princess!!
He said and l pouted as he carried me in his arms. He walked inside with me and closed the slider door by his leg. He later settled me on the couch and sat beside me. He lifted my shirt till my chest before he kept his ear on my abdomen.

Angad-Hello there!
He gleamed. It's his daily routine from the time he got to know about my pregnancy. No matter what happens!! Let him come late from office or even if both of us was fighting on my silly cravings. He never forgets to talk to the little one inside me.

Meera-Baby l guess Dadda is angry with Mumma!!
I said caressing my abdomen, smiling when he went still. He was still facing my abdomen.

Angad-Baby then tell your Mumma. Dadda wasn't angry!
He said and l grinned, ruffling his hair.

Meera-Then why didn't Dadda talk to Mumma!?
I asked.

Angad-Ummm... Dadda was busy!!
He said as he came facing me. I smiled and pressed my lips on his. He kissed me back, moving his lips on mine while l encircled my arms around his neck. His hands roamed around my exposed waist as we kissed each other. He sucked my lower lip while l sucked his upper lip. The athmosphere around us suddenly became hot. He tried to back off from the kiss but l wasn't ready to let go. I held his hair tightly as l devoured those perfect lips in mine. He caressed my cheek as he deepened the kiss. Tongues clashing for dominance, making my Harmones rise up. I backed off from the kiss as l was going breathless. Both of us was breathing heavily, with our foreheads resting on eachother.

Angad-Your turning me On!!
He groaned as he kissed my neck. I clutched his shoulder as he nibbled my shoulder with his lips, unbuttoning my shirt quickly as he showered kisses on my neck. He threw my shirt away as he pecked my lips and moved his face towards my chest.

Meera-Angaddd!
I moaned as he bit the exposed swell of my chest. He pulled the blanket over us and.....
And we called it a night with the warmth of love surrounding us making it even more worth it as we cuddled each other.

****
Few weeks passed and it's Another day!! Another day of Photography!! We were by the beach today as per Shaa's and Anu's wish! I sighed looking at the pink sky! It matches my peachy pink dress today. We were now seated on the bench as l was too lazy to stand! Come on! I didn't even sleep yesterday night as l was busy reading this not so innocent Big Baby a book of his choice which later ended both of us on the bed moaning each other's name like wild animals!

Angad-Hey Beautiful!
He said, kissing my cheek and l came back to earth.

Meera-Get Lostttt!
I whined pushing his face away from mine. He chuckled.

Meera-Don't Angad!! I've had enough embarrassing myself today!
I said, glaring at him. He smiled looking at me and l rolled my eyes. Shaa and Anu saw a mark on my neck today and who has to teach them to tease!? They did it perfectly.

Maira-I am really sorry Meera!! My stupid fiancé forgot the accessories back at home!!
She whined coming to us as she fumbled with the camera in her hands. We chuckled and nodded.

Angad

I sighed as Maira took Meera along with her for the photoshoot. I had to pose with her for some when the sun is about to set.

Man-Hello Mr.Mehra!
Someone said and l turned around to look at a man with a bright smile.

Angad-Hello!
I said, giving back his smile.

Man-I am Maira's fiancé.... Harsh!!
He introduced. I introduced myself as well. He later instructed me about my dress which is literally me posing with an unbuttoned shirt with her. It's more like without a Shirt!! Come on Man!! Won't l have to change like Meera!?
We know your dancing in the inside!? My subconscious, taunted and l rolled my eyes. The sun set just in time when Meera was done getting ready. I stood there on the middle of the beach sand, waiting rather too patiently for Meera while some teenage girls and women was drooling over me but l care a damn!! I wanna go home!! It's so boring just like Meera said before.

Everyone-Meeraaa!!
They yelled, frightened and l snapped my head towards there voice. She was running... To the Road!! Has she gone Mad!? I thought as l quickly ran behind them who was already running towards Meera. Please don't do anything stupid Meera!! I cannot live my life without you princess and l mean it!!

Tears welled up in my eyes as l saw a Long Lorry coming her way. It was just few meters away from Meera who was still running to the road not caring the world. Please No!! Please God!! I begged as l ran.

Everyone-MEERA!!!
They yelled as the loud horn sound hit our ears. I was blank as l stumbled on my place. Everything went still around me. It was like my world has.....

ENDED!!

I couldn't do anything!!

I couldn't save my Princess when it was happening right infront of me. I couldn't save my child! I was just inches away from her but still....

THIS HUSBAND OF HERS COULD NOT SAVE HER!!!

I am a fucking moron!!

I failed as a husband today!

I failed as a father today!

I failed as a lover today to my beloved!!

Our Kisses, Hugs, Sleepless Nights as we made Love, Her smile, Her giggle!! Everything flashed before me as a sob escaped my mouth.

I Lost the meaning to live today!! I Lost the one l love right before me with our sign of Love!!

I don't deserve to stay alive anymore doing a tremendous mistake!! I bloody don't!!!
