My life, my love
After 4 months,
Neerja wiped out the water drops that covered her baby's body. She played a soft lullaby in her lips to which Varsha heard what her mom was singing.
Neerja took a new nose bud dipped it in kajal and put a bindhi on cheek and on forehead of Varsha. Varsha cooed trying to catch attention of her mom. "Kanna look at your Nanna... sleeping like a log", Neerja playfully said looking at her sleeping husband. Neerja remembered yesterday's stunt pulled out by Sameer. Since there was family was at the topmost of the building and all alone one, Sameer-Neerja's apartment was quiet spacious and a comfortable one. After Neerja completed washing their clothes , Sameer took the bucket away from her citing that he will definitely hang the washed clothes on balcony to dry them up. While he was hanging , baby's cloth was flown away in the wind. Neerja ran to pick up the cloth, but unfortunately it once again slipped out of her hold. Before she could speak she was horrified to see Sameer pulled backwords along the balcony railing upside down and hold the cloth that was about to fly away. A scream was erupted out from Neerja's throat. But all she could see is Sameer was standing with the cloth in his hand giving her his most appealing smile.
Once he almost gave her a heart attack while they were climbing down the stairs with baby Varsha in her hands. While Neerja walked paste each and every step, Sameer was behaving like a monkey jumping from landing to next land without touching the steps."Sameer!!!!",Neerja shouted at him. "Are you mad? Don't you have eyes?", Neerja's eyes were reddened due to anger.His stunts were really getting into her nerves. "Calm down baby! calm... you see na ? my reflexes? How is it?",he laughed.
"Stop it", Neerja roared. Varsha was stunned to see her mother in fierce avatar and babbled citing her disapproval. "Awww....my baby..my sweet baby..see she is scolding you", he smiled. It was totally a headache to see her husband also behaving like a child after Varsha is born.
She didn't scold him much when she saw his baby like smile on his face. But she maintained a distance between him as she was chided with him. He keep on blabbering random things with her to which she didn't pay any attention. Finally Sameer managed to make her smile giving a kiss on her cheek that day. Similarly, he started annoying her by not going to furniture studio for his work. He lies her that he forgot to take some things or files or anything.
"Again you cameback! ", Neerja scowled."Today also what did you forget to take? Sam this isn't joke ok?", Neerja complained keeping baby on her hip. "Neeru , I forgot... I forgot..", he scratched his head searching for a lie. This once again angered Neerja. When he saw his wife in Jejjamma mode he jumped up with a lie. "Neeru I forgot my sketchbook that I have designed a new furniture...Will you please check? Or I will check?", he stammered. Neerja kept her hand on her hip and stared at him. "Else no need...we will both check together..", he started pretending to check. Seeing this Neerja kept baby on the bed and with Sameer she started checking for his sketchbook. After a while she looked back to see there was no traces of Sameer. When she checked for him , she heard a soft lullaby in deep baritone voice coming from their bedroom. She peeped into their bedroom to see world's most heartwarming scene. Varsha was lying on Sameer's chest on the bed. Sameer was singing a lullaby for her to which she was amazed to see her Nanna's singing ability. Varsha's face was totally priceless!
"Aaha! So both Nanna and baby were fooling me?", Neerja said in a fake expression tone. "Yes amma!", sameer turned with his baby. "See amma , what good singer I am", he smiled sheepishly. "I know very well that you were Sam, this isn't fine at all...just go back to your work. You have weekends haven't you? You come by evening after which you would play with Varsha. Now what's problem. Run. Run from here!", she smacked his bottom to which he laughed at her playfully. "Amma , can you please look at the clock for once?", Sameer asked her. She looked at him questioningly. Neerja's eyes popped out to see the clock has struck 3 pm. "Oh no...what will you do now? Within 1 hour your studio will be closed", she was worried."No worries darlingey, my workers shall take care of it", he picked up bag and kept it on the table."No no..don't delay you can stay there till 5 pm. Then comeback", Neerja packed his bag and gave it back to him. "No amma ..please amma don't make my Nanna go back to studio", Sameer pleaded to Neerja with baby in his hand. "No no no! It's a big no! Sam..just go and comeback as early as you could", she pushed him towards the door. All of a sudden Varsha made a loud noise and pushed Neerja away from Sameer. Sameer was stunned to see Varsha's anger. Her face was frowned. She babbled in her baby language to her mother and looked sadly at her father and gave a kiss on his cheek. Then again she scolded her mother once more. Finally she laid on his shoulder peacefully.
"See , our baby also doesn't want her Nanna to be away..Please amma..let Nanna stay here", both Sameer and baby Varsha spoke in her own baby language to Neerja. Finally she gave up.
And finally that little family immersed in a happiness filled life. But little do they know that their world was going to turn upside down at any time?
