4 Years Later...

It was Naaz's first day of office. During these years she completed her studies and got a job as a journalist in the same channel where Sidharth was doing job. She was very much excited about it as from now they would work together and spend a lot of time. Also her dream of becoming a journalist had come true.

But the one thing that was bothering her was her health. Since last two weeks she was having nausea and dizziness. But she had to go to the office anyway as it was her first day. She couldn't miss it.

That day Sidharth went to office earlier as he had some important work. But he was coming to pick Naaz up.

Suddenly Naaz got a notification on her phone. It was Sidharth's message.

"Get ready fast. I'm on my way."

Reading the message, Naaz took her clothes to get ready. But suddenly she felt nausea. Leaving the clothes, she went to the washroom and started puking.

After that, she washed her face and said in her mind, "Ab toh test karna hi hoga."

She came out of the washroom and took out the pregnancy kit from the drawyer. She bought it two days back because of the symptoms. Also she missed her periods this month.

She took the pregnancy kit and again went to the washroom.

After sometime...

Naaz was sitting on the bed holding the pregnancy kit.

It was positive.

At that time, Sidharth entered the room. He saw Naaz like this.

"Naaz tum abhi tak ready nahi hui? Aaj office mein tumhara first day hai. You shouldn't be late." Said Sidharth but Naaz didn't hear anything.

"I'm pregnant."

That was all she could say.

Sidharth was taken a back.

"What did you say?" He asked to be confirm.

Naaz showed him the pregnancy kit and said, "It's positive. Sidharth main Maa ban ne wali hoon."

He sat beside her. He couldn't understand what to say.

"Mujhe samajh nahi aa raha... Yeh sab kaise.... Matlab.... Shit! We should have been more careful."

Saying that Sidharth face-palmed himself.

On the other hand, Naaz felt bad hearing his words.

"Aap khush nahi lag rahe. Aap ko yeh Baccha nahi chahiye?" She asked with a pale face.

Sidharth understood that she was getting him wrong.

He cupped her face and said, "Of course Baby, mujhe yeh baccha chahiye. You know how much I love kids. It's just tumne abhi abhi apna career start kiya hai. Tumhe abhi acche se kaam karna hai, bohut aage badhna hai. How will you be able to manage all this together?"

Naaz smiled and said, "Aap ko yaad hai, jab main aap ki zindagi mein aayi thi aap bhi sayad meri umar ke hi hai. Lekin phir bhi apne akele mujhe sambhala, aap ne kaam ko sambhala, apne parivaar ko sambhala. Jab aap yeh kar sakte hai toh main kyu nahi? Upar se  meri puri family mere saath hai, aap mere saath ho. Hum kuch na kuch karke manage kar lenge."

She then placed her hand on her tummy and said, "Main humare bacche ko duniya mein laungi aur duniya ki sabse acchi Maa ban ke dikhaungi."

Sidharth also smiled and placed his hand on her tummy.

"I know you can do it." He said and kissed her forehead.

"Aur chotu tu bhi jaan le. Teri Mumma superwoman hai." He said looking at her tummy.

"Aur tere Papa superhero." Said Naaz.

Then they both giggled.

At Office...

Sidharth and Naaz entered the office. Naaz looked at the office. Earlier she came here many times. But today the reason was totally different. She came to the office as a journalist, not as Sidharth's wife. Now she had her own identity and this feeling was of another level.

"Attention everyone! Let me introduce you to.... No. Today she is not your boss's wife. She is our new journalist. From now she will be working with you all." Said Sidharth proudly.

Naaz looked at Sidharth with grateful eyes. From a simple village girl to a self-dependent woman, this journey was really very big. And nothing would have been possible if Sidharth was not there, with her, at the every step of her life. He proved himself as the best husband one could ever get. A husband doesn't mean who will just claim to love you and have rights on you, a husband means who will respect you, who will support you in every decision you take. A husband doesn't mean who will come between you and your dreams, a husbands means who will teach you how to see dreams and help you to achieve them. Sidharth was the example of a perfect life partner.

"So Mrs. Shukla, have your seat." Said Sidharth breaking Naaz's thoughts.

Naaz smiled and sat at her place with the other employees. Sidharth just kept looking at her proudly. Finally he did it. From the first day he saw her, his priority was to help her to reach this position where she is today. He always saw his own dreams through her eyes. A dream to make her so successful that she would never have to look back. She would never have to bow her head before the society. Instead of that, the society would bow their head before her.

Naaz was caressing the things which were on her desk and Sidharth was just watching her. He was already feeling proud of her but he knew that there was more to come. It was just the beginning of her journey not only as a journalist but also as a mother.
______________________________________

Months passed like this. Naaz was now 6 months pregnant. It was being difficult for her to manage everything. She had a lot of work pressure. Also she had responsibilities of her brother who was staying at a boys' hostel near his college. And Naaz was handling all this during her pregnancy months which includes complications and mood swings.

"Kya? Kaal phir se story cover karne jaa na hai?" Freaked out Naaz after Sidharth informed her about it.

"Haan. And don't worry, I'm also going with you. Aisi halat mein tumhe akela toh nahi chhor sakta." Said Sidharth.

Naaz calmed down a little hearing that.

"Okay." Said Naaz and again started writing the reports on laptop which she would submit the next day.

Sidharth noticed it and snatched away the laptop from her.

"Sidharthhh!" Whined Naaz. "Wapas di jiye na. Kaal tak yeh reports ready nahi kiya toh aap hi daatenge mujhe."

"Aaj ke liye bohut kaam hogaya. You need rest. Over work pressure Baby ke liye accha nahi hai." Said Sidharth keeping the laptop aside.

"Jab itna saara kaam mujhe diya, uss waqt yaad nahi tha aap ko?" Said Naaz making an angry face.

Sidharth chuckled and laid her down.

"Main bohut bura hoon na?" He asked feeling guilty.

Naaz understood that and immediately nodded in no.

"Woh toh maine aise hi keh diya. Mujhe paata hai aap mujh par bharosa karte hai isliye mujhe kaam dete hai. Aur aap hum employees mein kabhi bhed bhaav nahi karte. You always keep your personal life away from your professional life which is a very good quality of yours." She said.

Sidharth smiled and laid beside her.

"Bohut hui meri tarifein. Ab apni aankhein band karo. Main tumhe head massage deta hoon. You will feel better." Said Sidharth.

Naaz closed her eyes. Sidharth started giving her head massage.

After sometime Naaz asked, "Sidharth, ek baat puchu?"

"Hmm." Replied Sidharth.

"Aap ko ladka chahiye yaa ladki?"

"Ek pyaari si ladki, bilkool tumhare jaisi."

Naaz smiled and said, "Phir toh ladki hi hogi dekhna."

"Are you sure?"

"Mera dil keh raha hai. Ladki hi hai." Said Naaz confidently to which Sidharth smiled.

Then she asked, "Accha agar ladki hui toh kya naam rakhenge uska?"

"Ek naam socha hai. Lekin abhi nahi baataunga."

"Baataiye na."

"Nahi."

"Mujhe nahi karni aap se baat." Said Naaz making an angry pout.

Sidharth chuckled and started pulling her cheeks.

After 3 months...

Sidharth and Naaz were blessed with a baby girl. Her eyes were same as Naaz's and nose and lips were similar to Sidharth. She got Naaz's shade and Sidharth's smile. All we can say, she was a mixture of SidNaaz.

Today is the day of her 'Namkaran'. Rita Maa arranged a small Puja for it.

Sidharth and Naaz came for the Puja and sat on the floor. Naaz's health was now better than earlier.

As soon as she sat on the floor, she started looking for her Baby girl and found Pari, Krish and Shehbaaz playing with her. Both Sidharth and Naaz smiled seeing it.

Soon the Pandit Ji said, "Abhi aap baataiye bacche ka naam kya rakhna hai."

Naaz looked at Sidharth excitedly. She was waiting for this moment.

"Sukoon!" Announced Sidharth.

Everybody made an aww face as name was so good. Naaz smiled proudly as she couldn't think of a better name for their baby girl.

"Sukoon Shukla." He said further making everyone smile.

The Puja went on.

At Night...

Sidharth and Naaz both were making their 'Sukoon' sleep.

After sometime Sidharth asked, "Naaz, do you like name?"

"I love the name." Said Naaz. "Lekin yeh naam rakhne ke piche koi khas wajah?"

"Tumhe yaad hai ek baar maine tumse kaha tha ki tum meri Sukoon ho. Meri life ki saari tension tumhari woh cute si smile dekhte hi khatam ho jaati thi. You were the source of peace in my life. Thik waise hi aaj se yeh humari sukoon hai. SidNaaz ki Sukoon."

His words touched her heart. Her eyes became teary.

Sidharth noticed it and asked, "Tum ro rahi ho?"

Naaz wiped them and said, "Khushi ke aansu hai."

Soon Sukoon fell asleep in Naaz's lap.

"Sote hue yeh kitni masoom lag rahi hai naa?" Asked Naaz in a whispering voice.

"Hmm. Humare Masoom Ishq ki nishani." Said Sidharth.

They both kept looking at their daughter while resting their heads on each other.

The End...
