< 64 > The Baby Shower
Mishti :)
I entered the Agarwal mansion with my three month old baby bump. Maa was in the kitchen and papa was reading a novel while sitting in the drawing room.. "Hellooooo! " I screamed excitedly, Papa got startled and came to hug me.. "Omg! What a pleasant surprise, Mahi come here... " He called my mumma, and my mum came running to me.. Her eyes travelled from my head to toe before she hugged me..
"Where's everyone? "
"Oh, our cupcake is here! " I heard Mivaan bhai's scream from behind, I turned back.. Both Sharanya and bhai have just returned from the office, I hugged both of them.. "You must have come here because you had a fight with bhai, right? " Sharanya grinned mischievously, I licked my lips and circled my arm around my papa.. "No I was missing my papa, " I said, three of them gave me a suspicious side look..
"Huh? Can't I come to my house, " I mumbled, "Leave these bundles of people, tell me what will you take for dinner? I will make it for you! " Papa initiated, "I have been tired of eating chapati everyday.. Make butter naan for me and umm chhole, and also you can add any dish of mushrooms, don't make it much spicy.. Also add kheer, buy a big cup of ice cream as well.. I haven't tasted indian sweets for so many days, if possible make kala jamoon.. That's my favorite! " I already got saliva in my mouth while explaining all this to him..
He stared at me without blinking his eyes, I looked at everyone, "Should I add any more thing? " I asked, all of them shook their heads negatively. I smiled, "Good.. I hope you all don't disappoint me and my baby.. Till then I am taking some rest.. Bye bye! " I waved my hands at them and went upstairs to my room.. They have four hours , they can make dinner easily with this time span..
I freshened up and wore a loose frock that's reaching till my knee. My baby bump has popped out a little, I sat in front of the television and connected it to my phone device.. I was rewatching F. R. I. E. N. D. S, so I continued from where I left it.. "Where is mishti? " I heard Abir's voice, my eyes widened.. I decreased the volume and tried to hear what he was saying.. I was too lazy to get up and hear him..
"She literally skipped lunch and ate pizza. Is it even healthy? And then lied to me as well.. It's her driver who informed me.. Where's she? " He asked everyone, his tone was filled with a little anger.. Tears gathered in my eyes, I increased the volume and stared at the television until he stepped into my room.. I wiped my tears before he could see it.. "Don't do drama, why did you skip your lunch? " He asked me in a soft tone, and sat on his knees in front of me..
I looked at the other side, "Why were you shouting at me? " I questioned, his eyes widened, he started looking towards his left & right.. "Me? You talking to me? When did I shout? " He whispered in shock, "Downstairs! I heard it, " I complained, he buried his face on my lap and then stared at me.. His eyes scrutinized, "Are you trying to blackmail me? " He sighed, I shrugged off..
"I just want you to eat healthy.. I make these foods for you at home right? You should stay a little careful.. If you wanted to have pizza, you could tell me.. I would have made it for you.. Or you could have it in the evening.. At lunch time you should eat something good, not all these! " He advised, "One time I took pizza and you are scolding me so much! "
He sighed and cupped my cheek.. "Aree baba, when did I scold you? I am saying so politely. I just don't want you to have a stomach ache like last time.. And yes, it's not one time.. In my absence you are eating a lot of unhealthy snacks, don't lie ! " He stated, so he has an eye on me..
"It's not like I want to eat unhealthy! You won't understand my pain.. I see food and the appetite dies in my stomach.. I am tired of eating the same old dal chawal chapati bread milk and God knows what! " I said in frustration, tears rolling down my eyes.. "You like dal chawal , so I make it for you-" he whispered, I cut him off in the middle, "So I will eat everyday? " I cried, he wiped my tears and hugged me.. I cried more because I was hating how emotional I was feeling and how badly I treated Abir while he was being totally calm to me..
"I am sorry, it's okay.. I will make whatever you will like, " He said and broke our hug, I was hiccupping.. "Kiss me, " I muttered, he stared at me in shock and blinked my eyes.. "What? " I mumbled, "Yesterday you told me to stay away and now you want me to kiss you! "
I sighed in frustration, "That's because of my mood swings, can't you understand-" before I could lash out more he joined our lips and I gulped my words back.. He kissed me, I wrapped my arm around his neck and pulled him closer to deepen the kiss.. "I am sorry, " I whispered after breaking our kiss, he kissed my cheeks and squeezed my face like I was his baby.. "You are allowed to feel everything and express everything.. I am sorry for not being able to understand your emotions.. But I will try, " he said with a smile..
I hugged him tightly, "I am over reacting a lot and disturbing everyone... Pregnant women don't behave this much like me, " I was sad about my own emotions, but I had no control over it.. He brushed my back and buried his face in my neck.. "I don't care who reacts in which way. What I care about is you. It differs from person to person.. If you are going through something, then I don't care how your surrounding people are handling you. Everyone will hear you without getting frustrated, specifically your husband.. So take a chill... Nobody feels bad here, " he explained, I wiped my tears and broke our hugs..
"You are the best thing that happened to me.. I love you, " I expressed, he smiled.. Not for once he has become frustrated with my mood swings for anything. "Okay, I am going to make dinner for you.. I heard you have given a long list, " he chuckled and stood up, I scratched the back of my neck and stood up as well.. I was craving food, so I ended up ordering them.
We both went down stairs, my eyes widened in happiness when I saw mumma making my favorite laddu.. I sat beside her and took a bite from it, it felt like heaven.. Abir went to the kitchen, papa & sharanya were making dinner.. Maanvir bhai and Ziya have gone on vacation and Jeevika has gone to bhai's office, so maybe they will come late tonight or will go on a night out..
The dinner was ready before 9:00 , my mouth became watery seeing all the food that I had demanded. Abir started filling my plate, "fast, " I muttered in excitement, he shook his head in disbelief and served the naan, chhole, masala mushroom and kheer.. It's so tasty, I completed everything and later took the kheer .. "My babies are going to be foodie, I bet! " I stated, everyone of them stared at me like I said something wrong..
"Relax, you guys are not going to make food for them.. Their mother will make tasty tasty food for them everyday, " I said proudly, I have started watching recipes online, that's why I am craving for more food.. "No no, we are not saying about that, " Papa took a pause, I raised my eyebrows. "Why are you mentioning babies instead of baby? " Mumma added, I looked at Abir and then bit my tongue..
"It's his fault, he keeps mentioning babies babies babies, so it came out of my mind, " I hit his shoulder lightly, his eyes scrutinized, "Now even this is my fault? Wahh! " He mentioned , we all chuckled and laughed at him.. I pulled his cheek, he looks cute when he makes a pout..
________________________
It's the beginning of my second trimester. I was heading to my gynecologist as it's my appointment day. Abir would directly reach the hospital. I was feeling extremely uncomfortable while sleeping and also getting hungrier day by day. My mood swings are the worst and it's better to not say. Sometimes I get tired of myself, God knows how Abir handles me.. The driver parked the car, and someone opened the door for me..
It's Abir, "Too punctual, " I commented and got out of the car.. He held my hand and we both went inside.. I talked with the doctor, she changed my diet again , only if I had ever followed that.. I was laying on the bed, she's doing my scenography.. I could see the image on the screen, but I was not able to understand anything . Both Abir and I were curious to know about our baby's health..
"Do your research work later, first tell us how's she or he? All okay? " Abir being the impatient father asked the doctor, who first glared at Abir and then at me. I glared at Abir, "Let her do her work, " I muttered under my breath, "As if I am sitting in front of the screen, " he commented, I rolled my eyes and simply stared at him.. He nodded quietly and just sat like an obedient student. The doctor took her time, she's testing my patience as well. But I waited.
"Oh My God! "
Hearing her surprised tone, we both snapped our heads in her direction. "There's twins! " She stated, we both nodded and stared at each other.. Our eyes widened, "What? " We both equally screamed, "Yes Mrs Rajvansh, it's twins, " she said with a smile, Abir and I stared at the screen as she showed us the image. My eyes filled with tears, Abir held my hand and laid over me trying to hug me..
"I told you we are going to have babies, " he whispered, I chuckled and nodded while tears rolled down my eyes.. We took the sonography reports and went back home.. Abir bought a twin photography from a studio, I was looking at the sonography picture. After reaching home we told everyone about the twins things, they were so happy. Maa told me that she has this feeling we will have twins..
The whole day I kept roaming around while looking at the picture. I wanted a single child, but twins will be far better. I was already feeling the giggling sensation just by thinking about my babies. Abir being the craziest papa, replaced all the teddies with twins teddy, brought two toys of the same types and also brought twins photographs. These six months should pass soon, I was hella excited to meet my babies..

We three men were walking behind mishti as she was choosing a gown for her baby shower. Mivaan, me and Maanvir. She's looking extremely irritated and we three were scared. She's not even getting a good collection from her own brand company. It's not like there's no beautiful gown, she wasn't able to pick one. Soon she is going to enter the eight months of her pregnancy. So we have arranged a baby shower, which will occur the day after tomorrow..
I was telling her to select a gown a month ago, but madam ignored my suggestions because she's not feeling like shopping . And now she's stressed like anything. We three were more scared about her reaction rather than her choosing a gown. She would slay in any look, but she just needs to pick one..
"What about this? " I picked one gown, it's a nude color simple gown, not much heavy, but has flares. It's giving fairy vibes.. "Nobody will be able to differentiate between my skin tone and that gown! " She commented, I hugged Mivaan and started crying.. But when she looked back I pretended like I was cleaning his blazer.. Two of them were trying hard to control their laughs.
"Not our sister has her mafia husband wrapped around her finger, " Mivaan commented in a low tone, "No no, not our sister has the world wide famous singer wrapped around her finger, " Maanvir corrected, I glared at both of them, "Your times are near as well. Then I will roast you as well, don't forget that! " I stated, they shut their mouths and walked with me..
"How about this? " She showed me a pink gown, it's good.. I nodded and showed my thumb. It's approved for me.. "It's too bright you know ! " She rejected that one as well, I nodded.. She picked another one, it's a bodycon gown, but has feathery work at both sides from her waist.. It's beautiful too.. "It's good too! " I mentioned.. She blinked her eyes and then stared at me..
"You must be liking all the collections? " She taunted, I gulped and nodded. "At least say something rather than saying it's good, " she barked, we three jumped at our place. My heart almost came to my throat, "Oh God, I am leaving, " Maanvir muttered, I held his elbow and dragged him along with me. She picked another gown, "Umm, it's elephant ear like sleeves, it doesn't look that much beautiful. And it's too gorgeous and heavy, I don't think it's a suitable one! "
I mentioned, she let out a deep breath.. Her gaze remained fixed on me, did I say something wrong! My throat dried, "Our choices are so different, what does he mean by the dress was too gorgeous? Am I not allowed to wear a gorgeous dress? " she muttered under her breath as she started walking towards another dress.. Mivaan and Maanvir looked at me in shock, me who was habitual of it didn't react..
"I must say you are having twin girls, it's not only mishti, but her other two girls are deciding the clothes.. " Mivaan stated, we both laughed out loudly only to receive a strange look from Mishti.. "I am here stressing about the gown and you guys are laughing? Is this the reason why I called you here? " She said, but in a calm tone.. I zipped my mouth and picked a maroon color gown. "Listen, if you roam around then you will complete the whole australia, but won't find one. You will slay any cloth you will wear. So pick this one, I think it's a better one, " I suggested..
I had picked a maroon color gown with heavy flares and it's off-shoulder.. Her nose scrutinized, "Omg omg, this is so beautiful, " both the brothers jumped in between the conversation, I doubt if they really liked it, or just said it because they were tired. Their comments somehow convinced her.. A shop lady came to us and took the gown..
"Mam, this cloth has a good fabric. It might look heavy, but when you wear it, it won't feel heavy-" she started blabbering God knows what, Mishti was listening to her mindfully.. We trio got bored listening to that lady, but had no option.. "Okay, I will take this one! " She declared, we three jumped and hugged each other in happiness.. "Congrats! " Maanvir said to me, I let out a long breath and went to pay the bills..
Mivaan and Maanvir went in their own way and we both headed towards Rajvansh mansion.. She put her head on my shoulder, "Did I annoy you more? " She asked me, I smiled and squeezed her cheeks... "It's okay, there's nothing in front of what you are going through-" She cut me off in the middle, "So you got annoyed? " She questioned back, I blinked my eyes..
Did I just push myself into trouble? By myself?
I stared at her making an innocent face, she laughed out loud.. "I was joking, I am sorry, " she placed a kiss on my cheek..

She was laying on the couch and was reading a magazine which had some information regarding motherhood and twins.. I was applying nail polish on her toe nails, "By the way, what do you think? Will we have daughters or sons? " She asked me, "daughters, " it's my instant answer, "Or maybe one daughter and one son! " I grinned, "Lucky are those who get one daughter and one son, but I don't know if we will get that! " She mentioned..
I kept my palm on her baby bump, "You must be a girl right? " I whispered, the baby kicked. "Seee!!!! " I screamed in excitement, she rolled her eyes.. "My both babies have been playing football inside today, so it's just a coincidence! " She burst the bubble, I kept my palm towards the other side.. "You must be a boy? " I asked and there's no response.. She replaced my palm and kept her palm on her belly..
"Hey baby! " She said sweetly and the baby kicked. "You have never talked to me in such a sweet tone, " I complained after giving her a side eye look.. "Hey baby, " she placed her palm on her other side and our baby girl kicked too.. She smiled happily.. "Why is my other baby upset with me? " I complained and stared at her belly.. She laughed after hearing my complaint..
She took my palm and kept it on the other side, "Baby, say hye to papa, " she whispered and baby kicked. My eyes widened, "Hello? These all are just a coincidence, " I hissed , no way both of them were already on her team and listening to her and not giving me any attention.. "My babies love their mumma the most, " she said proudly, and I smiled..
"As they should! "
After carrying our twins for nine months, going through all the mood swings, discomfort, anger and craving, if our babies will love her the most, then I would be the happiest.. I kept all her nail polish at its place and we both went for a walk.. Just a month and then we both will welcome our little babies.. The amount of excitement I had was unmatchable..
____________________
All the decorations and color themes were suggested by me, I was just a little nervous about her reaction.. But I hope she will like it.. It's all blue and brown, the whole hall was decorated with balloons and teddies..
A huge sofa was placed in the center for her . This baby shower includes only the family members of the Agarwal and Rajvansh family.. She didn't want anything grand , so we didn't invite anyone. We have made both indian and western food, she can pick whatever she wants to eat.. I made one cake and ordered another one.
"She is here! Attention everyone, " Sharanya took my attention, I moved my gaze towards the staircase.. A big broad smile appeared on my lips. She was looking freaking gorgeous in the maroon gown. Both our mothers brought her towards me, I was in awe while she was smiling ear to ear..
I took her balaye, she side hugged me.. "Our babies are being a barrier between me and you, " I said after pointing at her bump which was not letting us hug.. She hit my shoulder and laughed, her eyes moved to our surroundings and then in her outfit.. "Don't you think my outfit doesn't match the theme? "She muttered, I made her sit on the sofa.. " Yeah! That's the theme.. You need to look unique, " I grinned, I tried to do something with maroon, but that didn't look good in my imagination..
Everyone showered her with gifts and good wishes.. She clicked pictures with them and then we both did a photo shoot.. All the baby songs were playing in the background and the youngsters were dancing on it like kids. She's laughing throughout the event.. Ahan was the center of attention because he's the best kid dancer among all.. I picked him in my arm, "Your partner in crimes are arriving soonnnnn! " I screamed in happiness..
He wrapped his tiny arm around my neck and kissed my cheek. "My Superman is my first partner, " he stated, his smile was so adorable.. I became emotional for a moment, because after a month I would be holding my twinnie babies and Ahan would be running behind them.. Mishti stood beside me and brushed Ahan's head, "And you will always be our first superhero! " she giggled, we trio clicked a picture.
I let Ahan go , he went to Sharanya. Everyone gathered around him and started dancing, we both laughed in admiration. I wrapped my arm around mishti and placed the other arm on her belly, "We will have our own tiny family, " I whispered, her eyes filled with tears.. "And then you will get to know about my struggle, " mumma said, I sighed and rolled my eyes..
"I am really excited to see your struggle.. When you will say baby don't do this.. Go to school. I told you to empty your tiffin. Don't bunk classes. Don't do ragging in the college.. Speed down the bike.. Complete your assignment. Come back home a little sooner.. And so on! " She taunted, I scratched the back of my neck.. "I will give them all types of freedom! " I stated proudly, she squeezed my ear and I hissed in pain..
"I ain't letting it happen. You are already spoiled, God knows what you will do to our babies, " she shook her head in disbelief and left.. Mishti started laughing, "Am I spoiled? No! I am a good human being, " I stated in my defense, she rolled her eyes and went back to her seat.. "Just because I am pregnant that's why you are not showing your spoiled side in front of me.. You are more baby than a baby. If you need something then you get it by hook or crooke. Have you ever listened to me? Now I am scared of what if we will have a boy and he will go for bike racing in future? " She uttered..
"Oh hello? What do you mean by saying that? I am definitely motivating him to be a racer. I want him to be a champion already! " I looked down at her belly, "Your dad is already proud of you, I will buy a bike soon ,I am just waiting for your arrival , " I whispered, she pushed my forehead and frowned. "And if we have a daughter then imagine she will be like you, " I took a pause, her lips curved into a proud smile..
"Smart, hardworking, gorgeous and workaholic right? "
I shrugged off again, "No! Full of drama. I bet, in future she will make the mistake, but I will be the one saying sorry because I scolded her, " I voiced, she laughed out loud.. "Of course! It's Abir Rajvansh's fault always, " she showed her tongue,I pulled her cheek..
Ruhaani bhabi brought the cake tray, we both stood up..
I have made the mini cake and she liked it the most.. We both cut the cake and fed each other.. All were chocolate flavored cakes wrapped with vanilla and strawberry cream... "Baby kicked, " her eyes sparked in happiness and she took another bite.. Our babies keep kicking her all the time, but she gives the same surprised reaction every time, and it never fails to melt my heart. She applied the cake on my cheek, my eyes widened..
"You can't even run now, " I threatened her while holding a big piece of cake, my hand was on its way to her cheek.. "No please, " she made a pout, I sighed.. "Argh, that damn pout, " I shook my head in defeat and went to feed mumma and papa.. We all did our lunch and clicked several candid pictures.. Ruhaan was busy making random videos.. The amount of videos he has made in her pregnancy track is insane, we can make a series out of it..
______________________
The whole day was too tiring because I was standing all the time.. We enjoyed it a lot, so I was just tired.. "Abir.. Abir wake up, " her low whisper broke my sleep, I became alert.. "What happened? Babies arrived? " I freaked out, but looking at her expression I realized it's not her delivery time.. We still have a month in our hands.. I smiled, "You want to eat something? " I asked her the most common question.. She grinned in happiness and nodded..
My eyes moved to the watch, it's 2:00 am.. "Nice! " I mumbled, I yawned like I haven't slept for months.. "I want to eat pani puri, " after hearing her my eyes widened.. "Mrs , it is not India.. From where will I buy pani puri at this hour? I can't even make it without its ingredients, " I replied, she pouted and licked her lips.. "What about kachori? Or samosa! "
I hit my face on the pillow, "It's Australia baby, can we order something else? " I requested her after making a pout, her pout was bigger than mine.. "Umm how about noodles? " I suggested, her eyes sparkled and she shook her body in excitement. I opened the app to order noodles for her, and she grabbed the phone from my hand.. She added Schezwan noodles, a mix sauce pasta , spring roll and dragon paneer ..
After ordering the food she smiled like a kid, "There must be girls under this, no way you want to eat spicy food most of the time, " I commented after poking my finger on her belly.. "What do you mean by under this? It's my belly! " She said while hugging her bump, I nodded in defeat.. We both went downstairs and then headed to the garden.. My eyes were constantly getting closed, but I tried to stay awake.. I was just yawning while she was in her own land..
"Omg is this Ketty and Ruhaan? " She pointed her fingers towards the swimming pool, I turned my gaze towards the back. Both Ketty & Ruhaan were inside the pool, I placed my hand on her cheek and made her look towards the other side.. "I don't want my babies to watch eighteen plus content, " I said, she frowned.. It's been a year since Ruhaan proposed to Ketty.. It's so obvious for all of us, but they were just denyingb. Things became serious when Ruhaan took the Initiation and proposed to her in front of everyone.. Her answer was positive.
They have decided to get married next year. It made me chuckle , there's a time when Ruhaan & I have decided to get married in the same year, but this man was getting married when I was becoming a father.. But I was happy for him. Ketty is the best choice for him and they both look good together.. In all my overthinking I forgot about my dear wife..
"I think your food-" I took a pause when I saw her sleeping while sitting on the chair itself.. I moved close to her and removed the hair strands from her face.. She opened her eyes slowly and we had a few seconds of eye contact.. "I miss romancing with you, " she mumbled, her fingers trailed down from my cheek to my chest and she kept it above my heart under my shirt..
"Your food arrived! " I diverted the topic and went to bring the parcel.. I had already done the payment.. I served it and placed it in front of her.. "I must say you have a good amount of self control when it comes to me, " she smiled, I smiled back.. Sometimes I feel the desire building inside me, but I don't want to take any risk. While making out with her, I go rough, so from the last six to seven months I have kept myself away. And the doctor has told us as well, because she's having twins, so we both needed to stay extra careful..
"It's just about a month, then we can-" I cut her off in the middle, "Mrs Rajvansh! I know that you know me and my desires very well.. But we can wait.. Now our main focus is you and our babies.. We have a lifetime of romance, so chill! " I assured her, she smiled and continued eating her food.. As usual she just took two to three bites from everything and pushed the plates towards me..
"Not today! It's really getting hard for me in the gym. I am not eating all this today, " I said strictly, she cleaned her hands and looked at herself after getting up.. "Am I looking fat? " I palmed my mouth to control my laugh, "It's normal ,baby.. Everyone goes through the same. See, even if you are looking a little fat, you are still looking cute.. But I need to do maintenance, my babies won't accept me otherwise. I need to look like a hero, " I said while showing my body.. She came forward and started opening my shirt..
"Remove it, " she ordered me, I took off my shirt.. Her eyes roamed around, she pressed my biceps and her mouth curved into a circle.. "My man is so sexy! " She uttered, "Your intention doesn't look good, Mrs Rajvansh, " I cracked a joke, she placed a kiss on my biceps.. "Just wait till I get back to normal, then you will get a taste of my intention! " Her words turned me on, control abir control..
"We will see! " I replied and sat down.. I completed the rest of the food and she's just watching me.. Every day story. She craves for food, but I end up finishing all of them.
