She sat down running a hand around her big bump . Anytime, the doctor had said during her last check up . She was excited , afraid , nervous , tensed ,what not . Been 6 years to their wedding and now was yet to come their first child . People around had already played enough with their dirty mouths ,  started since the very next month of their marriage , what have you both planned ?

Theirs was an arranged marriage , initially they took time. Good , needed time to understand and come to love each other . But at some point , fear brewed up when it kept delaying . Everything's perfect and healthy , the doctor would say at the end of their each session but still nothing .

Her husband Om was one loving person who himself came forward and said , "Check me too" . Not every man in the day would say that . Gauri just realised how hard she has fallen for the man , once again .

No problem , sometimes we should wait for the right time. They both would tell when the other is stressed out to worse at times .

Gauri believed in God but not the ways . Do this , do that , go here , go there and it will be fine , they said . She didn't budge , she prayed and continued her work . She worked as an accountant while Om, an architect . He was worried about things too but the calm optimist in him carried it well until today . Well the way she started throwing fits about his mom didn't actually sit through him.

For the note , Gauri doesn't do this often but the not so often one is big. She endures everything to a certain point , the nagging, tantrums and yet so many other MIL coded problems . They were generally discussing the names they would choose for their son/ daughter , it turned out a bit of an argument in no time when Gauri realised how much his mother was obsessed with rather  a grandson. It came out heated up , Om became clueless at one point.

Jhanvi , is a  small town girl who was married off to a  bank employee in her late teens . She lived holding up to others expectations,following the patterns she was asked to . That life did seem perfect for her , she has no regrets . A caring husband , bore a child within a few months of their marriage , her day would kick off with packing  lunch in tall  boxes for Tej and end after washing them . A typical housewife , a happy one.

Not that she dislikes baby girls ,how can she though ? It's her own blood ,her little son's own baby. The mental pressure she went through during Om's turn is what made her think like this .

The heir , is how they would call him even before he was born . A simple girl like her just wanted to fit in the group and very much cared about what people would say if she doesn't . Even now she didn't actually showcase pressure or anything but gauri became irked by knowing she even had the tiniest of these thoughts .

Ofcourse people around talked like nuts when she couldn't conceive sooner,all those times she remained calm and composed but not now. Definitely not now because this is about her baby , she didn't want excuses, nor any explanation which Om was dying to provide after his mom just left the room with a sad face.

He was totally confused though , his ever so understanding wife seemed very far today . There was nothing to be reacting this serious , his mom didn't even say anything about a boy in the first place. She was sharing how it was during her time and stuff , suddenly gauri went into attack mode . Is this also a pregnancy thing ? Overreacting? God knows what all awaits. He surrendered not wanting to drag this any longer , after all she's his priority. He apologized ,for what? he didn't know , asked her to rest, and left for work .

The mother Gauri was already winning the wife Gauri , poor Om had no clue though . But slowly did the wife come back  to realise she  shouldn't have fought like that with him , for the guy did nothing . Noticing the yellow file lying on their bed still ,she started blaming herself. He was up last night fully , worked so hard to complete this latest model they're yet to start and today is the deal day . He must've been so caught up with her complaints that he totally forgot  such an important thing . She didn't do right this time.

Om used to take the four wheeler for work but ever since they got the news , he started taking the bike instead . He then  hired Raghu , a driver to stay with the car 24/7 mostly whenever he's not with her at home ,in case of emergencies . Raghu gave up to her stubbornness today ,and both took off to deliver the file to Om . Just him could've sufficed but she wanted to talk to Om in person, to apologise and a small amount of sweet talk is what she wanted . He must be tensed .

They had stopped for the signal ,which was almost good to go when suddenly three random guys opened the door and came into the car out of nowhere . Before she could even react , a sharp knife held against her throat made her numb. Raghu looked equally thrilled.

' Speak a word and I will cut her in and out ! Just drive .'

G- pl...please... don't

' Shut up and take out everything you have , money jewels . Come on !'

Ra- Don't , don't do anything please .

He struggled to keep the car moving with his eyes terrorized by the horror behind .

' Just drive '

The one in the front seat ordered, he seemed hurt actually ,his arm was bleeding . Gauri's sniffs were loud enough to irritate them which was clearly visible  on their faces. That's ok they can hold on with this a little longer for the lump gold she's gonna provide . So many bangles , big chain and hearings . She was like the big settlement they could have for years.

'Hurry!!'

G- ok ok ...please ...wait . Ok.

She removed her jewels one by one.

' I can't go on like this '

' What the bleeding ? Hold one , let's get out of the city first '

' I don't think I can , it's getting worse '

It did seem worse , blood poured like anything. The seat was washed red .

' Ok , hospital . Only the store. '

He passed the knife to the other guy when the car stopped at the hospital.

' I'll be back in two minutes . Dare you try anything funny .'

Gauri pressed her lips hard holding her cries when the other one pointed it on her stomach once. Raghu looked around if he can call anyone for help but Gauri's state didn't let him take the risk . He was helpless .

Moreover there was hardly any people at that spot .
