Days passed,

Aarohi and shefali entered their 4th month.

The soft morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow over the room as Aarohi stirred from her slumber.

As she opened her eyes, she found herself cuddled with Abhimanyu, his peaceful expression bringing a smile to her lips.

Gently kissing his cheek, she carefully detached herself from him and got ready for the day.

She knew he was exhausted from the previous day's events four heart surgeries back to back had taken a toll on him.

So, instead of waking him up, she silently prepared for the day ahead. Closing the curtains to keep out the bright sunlight, she adjusted the AC to its minimum temperature and covered him with a cozy duvet.

Kissing his forehead tenderly, Aarohi quietly made her way downstairs, closing their bedroom door behind her.

Aarohi - Good morning Shefali bhabhi.

Shefali - good morning..!!! Good morning, waise aaj koi dikhai nahi de raha, mom dad, chacha chachi, abhimanyu, neil, nishtha.

Aarohi - Maa toh uth gayi hogi, kitchen mein hi hogi aaj Sunday hai na toh sabke liye kuch na kuch favourite bana rahi hongi, abhi bohot thaka hua tha toh so raha hai, baaki sab bhi so hi rahe honge

Shefali - Hmm, parth bhi so raha hai, ek kaam karte hai hum chachi ki help kar dete hai.

She nodded and they headed to the kitchen.

However, when they entered the kitchen they were surprised to find Mahima helping Manjiri with cooking a sight they had never expected to witness.

Aarohi - Good morning Maa, good morning tai ji

Manjiri - Good morning tum dono yaha kya kar rahe ho aaram karna chahiye na, neend puri hona bohot zaruri hai.

Shefali - Chachi neend khul gayi lekin aap dono itni jaldi uth kar kya kar rahe hai kitchen mein aaj toh waise bhi Sunday hai.

Manjiri - Woh aaj baarish bohot acchi ho rahi hai subah se, toh main toh yaha sabke liye pakode banane aayi thi, didi ne kaha woh bhi madat kar degi.

Aarohi - Oh, thik hai maa toh laiye hum bhi help kar dete hai.

Mahima - Bilkul nahi, tum dono kuch nahi karoge, ab aa hi gaye ho toh baitho aur yeh fruits aur doodh finish karo.

They exchanged and resigned their glances at each other upon seeing milk which they weren’t fond of drinking regularly.

Shefali - Mom yeh roz peete hai hum aaj nahi.

Manjiri - Tum dono ka roz yehi dialogue hota hai chup chap khatam karo.

They obediently started sipping on their glasses of milk while Mahima continued cooking alongside Manjiri.

--------------------------------------

After some time had passed they all gathered in the garden.

Anand - arey wah aaj garden mein breakfast ka plan banaya hai.

Aarohi - Haa tau ji itna accha weather hai toh humne socha kyu na yaha breakfast ho jaaye.

Abhi - Arey wah pakode thank you maa bohot dino se khaane the.

Shefali - Waise ek aur surprise hai aap logo ke liye, aaj breakfast sirf maa ne nahi banaya

Parth - Shefali tumhe aur Aarohi ko mana kiya tha na humne kitchen mein jaane se phir....

Shefali - Arey nahi mom ne banaya hai.

It caused everyone to gasp in shock.

Neil nearly choked on his bite as he looked at Mahima in disbelief. Nishtha pinched herself.

Anand - Mahima tumne...

Mahima - Aap sab itne shock kyu ho rahe hai can't I cook..?"

Parth - Nahi mom woh rare moments jaisa hai na 100 saalo mein ek baar isiliye sab thoda...

Everyone giggled.

Anand - Waise mahima sab thik bana hai na warna aisa na ho ki yeh kha kar hume apne hi hospital mein admit hona pade.

Everyone laughed loudly while mahima scoffed.

mahima - tum mat khao, rehne do.

Anand -  nahi nahi meri biwi ne itne time baad kuch banaya hai zarur khaunga.

She smiled.

Abhi - Aarohi, bhabhi aap dono ne...

Aarohi - abhi humne fruits kha liye hai aur doodh pee liya hai maa ne khila diya..

He nodded.

Manjiri - accha sawan milni aa raha hai, ab tak humne aarohi aur shefali ki pregnancy ke baare mein bataya nahi hai toh soch rahi hu sawan milni ke shubh avsar par yeh kar de, kaisa rahega didi.

Mahima - hmm baat toh sahi hai, waise bhi humara harr function media cover karti hi hai, ek saath dono kaam ho jayenge.

Harsh - hmm, toh neil humare saare important clients ko invitations pohoch jaane chahiye.

He nodded.

Manjiri - main aaj hi taiyari shuru karwa deti hu.

Everyone nodded.

-------------------------------------

Abhimanyu entered the room and was shocked to see the whole bed covered with clothes and jewelleries.

Abhi - aaru yeh sab kya hai?

Aarohi - woh main shefali bhabhi ke saath sawan milni ki shopping ke liye jaa rahi hu.

Abhi - toh jao.

Aarohi - taiyar ho kar jaana padega na, lekin mere pass kuch nahi hai pehen ne ke liye.

Abhi - seriously I mean tum keh rahi ho ki itne saare dresses mein se kuch bhi tumhe pasand nahi hai.

Aarohi - woh baat nahi hai actually kapde thode chote ho gaye hai.

Abhi - chote ho gaye hai?

Aarohi - matlab kapde mujhe fit nahi aa rahe hai tight ho gaye hai.

Abhi - oh toh yeh kaho na moti ho gayi ho.

Aarohi - main aur moti...??

Abhi - abhi toh tumne kaha ki tumhe kapde fit nahi aa rahe iska matlab tum moti ho gayi ho.

Aarohi - how mean, jab ladkiya pregnant hoti hai toh sabse zyada chinta unhe apne weight ki hoti hai, aur mujhe confidence dene ki bajah mera mazak uda rahe ho, mujhe na tumse baat hi nahi karni.

She left the room, he laughed and went behind her.

Abhi - aarohi main mazak kar raha tha tumne seriously le liya.

Aarohi - lekin mujhe baat hi nahi karni.

Manjiri - kya hua kyu dono ladh rahe ho?

Aarohi - maa mujhe nahi rehna aapke bete ke saath.

Abhi - aarohi I was just joking.

Manjiri - abhi kya kaha tune..??

Aarohi - maa ek baat bataiye pregnancy mein weight nahi badta kya, isee abhi se main moti lagne lagi hu pata nahi aage kya hoga.

Neil - very bad bhai.

"Shefali meri baat toh suno."

They turned and saw shefali coming and parth running behind her.

Neil - lo aa gaya ek aur pati apni patni ko manate manate.

Anand - kya hua shefali.

Abhi - parth bhai aapne bhi bhabhi ko kuch...

Shefali - kuch nahi bohot kuch, mujhe moti bolte ho jaise khud bade slim fit ho.

Neil pinched them.

Abhi - kya kar raha hai.

Neil - arey woh aap dono ki condition same hai na isiliye same pinch.

They glared at him.

Parth - shefali main mazak kar raha tha.

Abhi - main bhi.

They left from there.

Abhi - arey.

Mahima - tum dono bhi na, kya zaroorat thi chidhane ki, pata hai na pregnancy mein ladkiyan apne weight ko lekar kitna conscious rehti hai.

Abhi - sorry tai ji.

Manjiri - yeh sorry humse nahi unse kehna.

They nodded...!!!!
