Few months later,

A few months later...

It’s early morning when Saanvi slowly opens her eyes, a soft light filling the room. It’s been ten days since her period was due, and a glimmer of hope flickers within her heart. Quietly, she glances at Yash, still asleep beside her, his arm wrapped protectively around her waist. Gently, she lifts his hand and slips out of bed, careful not to wake him.

Taking a deep breath, she retrieves the pregnancy test kit from the drawer and heads to the bathroom. Her heart pounds, the familiar weight of disappointment looming in the back of her mind. Each time before, her hopes had been dashed. But this time, as she silently prays, her whispered plea is heartfelt.

"Please, Bhagwan ji," she murmurs, "iss baar meri umeedo mein paani mat phekna."

She waits, watching with bated breath. As the seconds stretch, two faint pink lines appear, slowly coming into focus through her blurred vision. Her heart skips, and she blinks back tears, staring at the lines in disbelief. With trembling fingers, she clutches the kit, the reality sinking in as she begins to cry softly, her whispered thanks barely audible.

"Thank you, Bhagwan ji," she breathes, placing the positive test next to all the others that had let her down before.

She rests her hand tenderly on her belly, whispering to her unborn child, "Thank you, shona… for choosing me as your mother, and him as your father… for coming into our lives."

Leaving the bathroom, she sees Yash still asleep, his face buried in her pillow. She smiles, her joy spilling over, and crawls onto his legs, gently calling his name.

“Yash… Yash…” Her voice wavers with emotion she can barely contain.

He stirs, his face hidden deeper in the pillow as he mumbles a sleepy, "Hmm?"

“Yash, suniye na… Yash!” Her voice cracks as the happiness she feels overwhelms her.

At the sound of her tears, his eyes snap open, and he lifts his head, instantly alert. “Saanvi…?” he murmurs, noticing her tear-streaked face.

She nods, unable to form the words as a shaky laugh escapes her.

He sighs in frustration, his voice thick with sleep. "Tumne phir se test kiya? Kitni baar kaha hai tumse... stop doing these tests! Why don’t you listen to me?”

She shakes her head, smiling through her tears, and leans into him, pulling him close. Yash wraps his arms around her waist, still not understanding.

“Dekho na, baby,” she says softly, her voice warm with excitement.

"Tumhara dadda kitna mujhe daat rahe hain."

At the word dadda, he freezes, his breath hitching. “Dadda?” he whispers, searching her face as he processes what she’s just said.

Saanvi grins, reaching for his hand and placing it gently on her belly.

“Congratulations, Yash... aap dadda banne wale hain.” Her voice trembles with joy.

His gaze drops to where his hand rests on her stomach, then back to her face, his expression one of wonder.

“I’m… pregnant, Yash… two pink lines,” she says, biting her lip, her own eyes filling with tears again.

In that moment, a single tear slips down his cheek, followed by another. Without a word, he pulls her into a tight embrace, burying his face against her chest, his shoulders shaking as he finally lets go of the months of pent-up tension and silent heartbreak. They cling to each other, their tears flowing freely, finally sharing the release of the moment they’d both been waiting for.

“Finally, Saanvi…” he whispers, his voice thick with emotion.

“Yes,” she answers, her hand gently stroking his hair as she holds him close. "Finally."

'Hum late nahi karenge thik hain..kal hi hum log hospital jayenge for the checkup' he says.

She nods her head, 'Wog apko batane ki zarurat nahi hai'
