Abir :)

When we both got married two years ago, there was a fear in my heart. I didn't know whether we both would be able to handle our marriage or not. Because before our wedding we had gone through a lot of shit and we parted away every time. So I was scared, but the way these two years went smoothly, it made me believe that sometimes we should let ourselves go with the flow.

It's not like we never fought, if today I am angry with her then tomorrow she will be angry with me, fighting with each other was a daily cycle, but it never lasts more than an hour.. We have decided to sort out everything before going to bed and that has been continuing till now.. We have gone on several honeymoon trips as well, sometimes we take advantage of our outdoor work..

I have gone to India for two weeks, and when I returned back I noticed some changes in her behavior. Like she was anxious and was trying to say something but was not conveying. When she mentioned the doctor's things, I became worried about her health. I tried to ask her about her reports or told her to do a check up again. But she's stubborn and told me to visit the doctor after my birthday..

I postponed the birthday because she wanted me to, I would do anything for her.. But it's an official party and I had to postpone it at the last moment. So papa was a little angry with me, but I didn't tell him that mishti told me to postpone it.. For the first time she asked me for my time on my birthday, I couldn't deny her..

She wished me at midnight, my whole family wished me.. We had a little cake cutting session and then we both slept. In the morning I went to the temple with my mumma, I asked mishti to accompany me. But she denied, she was not feeling well and was looking frustrated.. I became more worried thinking about her health, but she diverted the topic again.. I decided to take her to the doctor once we both would celebrate my birthday. I wasn't able to enjoy anything because I was worried the whole day..

I told her that I will drive to our destination, but she denied saying it was a surprise for me.. I knew she would do something special for me, but when I saw the destination I asked her. Because we have decided to come here when she will be pregnant. And the next thing she uttered blew my mind.. I stayed rooted to my ground..

"We are pregnant Abir, we are going to be parents soon! "

My grip loosened around her fingers, I was not expecting her pregnancy to happen so soon.. She was happy, her eyes were shining as she was expecting me to react. But I was beyond shocked, I was the happiest, but I became startled at first. My eyes moved to her belly and then at her.. We were thinking and talking about planning a baby, but we had not decided anything..

The first thing that came to my mind was her, now I will share her with our baby. I was happy, but maybe I felt like there would be some distance between us or maybe she would not give us more attention or there were some nonsense emotions which I felt first.. I pulled her to my embrace, burying my face in the crook of her neck I hugged her.. Just the thought of having a baby made my eyes teary.. I let the tears fall down my eyes & wrapped my arms tightly around her..

"I know you must be thinking that a new person will come to our lives and things will be changed between us, our equations will be changed! " She whispered, I pushed my face deeper into her skin and pressed her body more into mine, like I was not ready to leave her.. She knows me so well.. She chuckled and placed a soft kiss on my neck..

"We have so much love , Abir.. It would be unfair if we won't share it with our baby.. Our baby is the fruit of our love, struggle, tears and laughter.. Our baby will keep us close and connected, take a break and calm down.. I know there will be certain changes, but Mishti Rajvansh will never stop loving you or stop prioritizing you! " She explained.. I realized she's pregnant, so I loosened my grip around her, but didn't let her go..

I was just scared thinking if I would be able to manage everything or not, will I be able to handle our relationship. Whether I will be able to be a good husband and a good father at the same time.. She brushed her palm on my back, I placed a kiss on her cheek and moved back.. "Stop overthinking my baby.. You will be the best father and you are already the best husband.. I dare you if you will question your capabilities! " She threatened , I laughed and kneeled down in front of her...

I held her side and pulled her closer. "How many days? Or months? " I asked her, she brushed her fingers on my hair and muttered, "One month! " I nodded, I was feeling extremely nervous.. "Hey baby, " I whispered, my eyes became teary again.. We will have a baby and it's so overwhelming. I wasn't able to process anything.. I looked up at mishti, she was smiling whole heartily.. I went forward and placed a kiss on her belly..

"This is the best birthday gift, I swear! " I mumbled and stood up.. I hugged her again.. "My baby is carrying our baby, I can't tell you what's going on inside me, " I stated, she laughed and took me towards the center.. We both sat down, she has brought a small cake for me.. I cut it and first fed it to her.. And then licked the crumbs from her lips... It's tastier than the actual cake..

I looked at her with heart eyes, she looked down and smiled like we were any newly married couple.. "One month? " I took a pause, it's Karwachouth.. A small smile crept over my lips, that's the only time when we didn't use any protection in these one month . "If we will have a baby boy, then he is going to be a bike rider! " I stated, that day I had just come from a racing. And whatever happened after coming was not forgettable, nor her angry look or the beautiful night..

"And if we have a baby girl then she will have the same anger as me, " She chuckled, "What if we will have both? " I said with hopeful eyes, she laughed and shook her head in disbelief.. I always feels like we will have two babies, but she always wants one. So I never told her this, it's just my gut feelings that says we will have two babies. But I am happy with one. Whatever my wife wants! And carrying baby for nine months is very tough. I don't want her to go through the same pain again. So I am okay with one. If possible, we will think about adopting another..

She was getting calls from maa, they must have planned any surprise for me, so I didn't ask her about the reason.. "How about revealing the pregnancy news to them today? " I suggested, "It's your birthday, I want their attention to stay only on you! " She was reluctant and the reason has no sense in it.. I glared at her, "my birthday, my wish! " I said, there was a white board where it's written that we're pregnant.. I pulled it out and we both stood up..

"Everyone will be the happiest, " I said, she asked her guards to take all the teddies and remove the decorations.. We wanted to spend more time together, but after knowing the truth I couldn't keep calm.. I wanted to tell everyone about it, so we decided to leave home.. I drove the car, she was sitting while holding the board in her hand.. All the way back home I was excited as hell, everyone will start dancing after hearing the news..

We reached after half an hour due to the traffic , I parked the car.. The lights were off inside the house, I told mishti to turn the board towards her and keep the empty side towards them.. We stepped inside, "Happy Birthday! " They burst the paper bomb, I got startled along with her.. "Surprise!! " The Agarwal family came to the front holding gifts and balloons.. Mishti looked at me , her lips curved into a broad smile..

"I think we have a bigger surprise for you all, " I mentioned and pulled mishti to my front.. Everyone became confused, she turned the board towards them.. The smiles and confusion left their face as soon as they read what was written on the board.. I went and stood beside mishti, she has become a tomato..

The whole room filled with utter silence..

"Seriously? " Mahira maa whispered, both the mothers came forward and hugged her.. Everyone started coming to us and congratulated us.. "Here we thought we would surprise you, but this was the best return gift! " Mivaan said and took me to a side hug.. "Congratulations bhai, " Sharanya hugged me, I grinned in happiness.. They took her inside and made her sit on the sofa.. Everyone gathered around the sofa, maa placed a dupatta around her and did her arti followed by some rituals where it takes all the evil eyes away..

I took pictures of her , while the rituals were going she was just smiling and blushing.. "You sit beside her! " Bhabi took the camera from me and made me sit beside her.. "Finally, my best friend did something good in his life! " Ruhaan patted my shoulder, I punched his stomach and rolled my eyes.. We both clicked pictures and then papa placed the cake in front of me..

I pulled her closer and made her hold the knife.. Before blowing the candles, I made a wish, of course it's about her wellbeing and our baby's good health.. We cut the cake together and fed each other first and then to our parents.. The night was filled with happy moments, she became tired so I told her to sleep.. While I stayed with others because both the families were there.. They had arranged a movie night together..

My emotions were overflowing and I wasn't able to concentrate on the movie.. I excused myself in the middle and went to my room.. To my surprise mishti wasn't laying on her bed.. I went to the terrace, she was laying in the swing.. "You didn't sleep? " I asked her and adjusted myself beside her.. She showed me her phone, it's a template of an award show..

Globally Presented Business Awards (GPBA)

"You will get an award? " I whispered and took her phone. The award night date was of tomorrow's, thankfully it will happen in Sydney.. "You know it's a very prestigious award, from the very first year I have tried to achieve an award irrespective of its category.. But I have never won any. But I hope this year I will get one, my company has been nominated in one category! " She explained, I smiled and turned off the phone..

"You will definitely get one! " I smiled widely, she smiled with hopeful eyes.. "I have never won one, but I really wish I win this category.. Because this year I have given my soul into this company and I know I deserve it, " she was looking totally determined.. I placed a kiss on her forehead, "I don't know if you will win or not, but for me you are always the most successful business woman! " I said, she pushed my chest and shook her head..

"No, just tell that tomorrow we will bring an award to home, " she said, I chuckled and nodded.. "Okay, so God please let this happen, make sure we bring an award home. " I prayed after closing my eyes, she hugged me and placed a kiss on my cheek.. Keeping her head on my chest, she closed her eyes.. There's her laptop at the nearby table.. I opened it and opened the pregnancy website..

She had already searched a lot about pregnancy, I did more research on her diet and daily schedule.. I looked at her, she was looking so beautiful while sleeping.. "It feels like we just met yesterday, " I whispered, my fingers touched her belly.. I felt a different kind of emotion, it didn't even feel like we were two. It felt like our baby was there too..

"I know it will take a little time, but I swear I will learn everything and make sure you both will stay healthy, comfortable and happy! " I promised while touching her belly.. Her sleeping position was comfortable, I placed the laptop back on the table and got off the swing.. Taking her carefully in my arms, I went inside and placed her on the bed.. I kept the temperature normal and covered the blanket around her..
