Nitya and Aniket were sitting with Manvi. Aniket gave her a slice of apple and she made a face "jiju do kha chuki hun aur nahi.."

"Are healty hai.. Khao" he said

"Di.." Manvi rolled her eyes towards Nitya.

"Kya Di?? Wo toh Ani tujhe teen hi apple khila rahe hai main toh 5-6 khilati" Nitya replied.

Manvi made a face and Aniket forwards it "khalo ab warna aur teen khane padh jayenge"

She held it and slides it into her mouth. After a few seconds she screamed "Aaah....."

Nitya asked "kya hua??"

"Kick.... Maaraa" she shouted.

She took their hands and placed on her belly. Nitya and Aniket exchanged glances with each other, Manvi took deep breaths "1..2...3.." she felt another kick.

"Oh my god.." Nitya said in disbelief.

Aniket smiled and shouts "Aaru... jaldi aaa"

Aarav runs and comes to the room "kya hua bhai?" he asked worriedly.

"Baby ne kick kiya" He said.

Aarav was left amazed, he climbed on the bed and Nitya placed his hand on Manvi's belly but the baby kicked again. Aarav was overwhelmed, he placed his ear and the baby kicked. Manvi smiled and she kept on looking at his expressions.

Later at night, Manvi was standing near the window and looking up at the sky. She grew anxious as the delivery date was near and she will have to go away after delivery of the child. She recalled the time she came to this house just for a few days. After years she got to bond with Nitya and Aniket was caring towards her like a brother. She had been alone all these years and now they were her family. It will be hard for her to leave them, she turned and saw Aarav sleeping on the couch.

She hated him first but slowly he had made a soft corner in her heart. She remembers all the flights, arguments and his caring nature. He had always referred her as "my brother's surrogate" and now this pinches her heart. She wanted to be more than that in his life. The baby kicked and she placed her hand on her belly "janti hun tum bhi nahi chahte main tumhare chachu ko chodke jau.. Lekin tumhare chachu samajhte hi nahi meri feelings"

She moves to the bed and layed down. She stared at Aarav and smiled at him. She closes her eyes and soon drifted into sleep.

She began to feel pain, she opened her eyes and shouted "Aah... aah.."

Aarav heard her voice, he gets up and runs towards her. He sat down beside her and held her hand "kya hua??"

She shouted aloud "dikh nahi raha tumhe dard ho raha mujhe.. Aditii..."

"What?? Are abhi kaise?? Abhi toh time hai na delivery mei" he said and opened the drawer. He took out the file and checked the delivery date due "dekho.. Do hafte hai abhi.." he showed it to her.

Manvi throws the file away and held his collar "exact date pe delivery nahi hoti hai buddhu kahike.. Hospital leke chalo warna murder kar dungi tumhara"

"Okay.. main bhai bhabhi maa ko bulata hun" he rushes out of the room.

Aarav knocks Aniket's room hard "bhai.... Bhai.."

Nitya woke up his voice, Nitya opened the door and saw him tensed. She asked "kya hua Aaru?"

"Wo chipku ko labour pain ho rahe hai shayad.. Hospital jaane ko kah rahi hai aap use leke aao main car nikalta hun" he said and moved downstairs in a rush.

Nitya turned and found Aniket sleeping soundedly. She takes off the blanket from the top of him and shakes him "Ani.. utho mannu ko labour pain ho raha hai" she yelled.

Aniket gets up instantly "kya?? Lekin abhi toh time hai na.." he said.

"Ab usko ho raha hai pain.. Chalo jaldi.." she said worried.

"Nitya false alarm ho sakta hai na.." Aniket said.

"Kuch bhi ho.. Leke jaana padega" Nitya spoke and both of them moved to Aarav's room.

Manvi was crying "aahh mummy... itna dard.."

Nitya moves to her and held her hand. Manvi shouted "Di main marr jaungi.. Main marr jaungi.." she said in panic tone.

"Shhh.. kuch nahi hoga... calm down" Nitya caressed her face.

Aniket picks up the file from the floor and they take her out of the house. Aarav had informed Kausalya about it so he had already left for the hospital in another car.

Manvi sits behind Nitya while Aniket sits in front. Aarav rides the car and it was 4 am in the morning so he was speeding off crossing the limit. Aniket said "Aaru.. aaram se chala"

"Bhai ye chipku kitna chilla rahi hai.. Aaram se chalaya toh yahi delivery ho jayegi bache ki" he said.

Manvi glared at him "Ab bhi isko mujhe taane dene hai.."

"Ye samay nahi hai ladne ka.. Aaru driving pe dhyan ho" Nitya scolded both of them. Within 15 minutes they reached the hospital. Aarav had informed Aditi and she had begun the preparation for the delivery.

Aniket gets out of the car and gets the stretcher, Aarav helps her lay on it and they rush into the hospital.

The nurse stops Nitya and said "mam aap ye form aur baaki formalities puri kar dijiye"

Nitya nodded and goes to fulfill the formalities. Aditi was waiting in front of the operation theatre, she eyed at them and said "Andar aap mein so koi ek hi aa sakta hai.."

Aniket looked but Nitya wasn't there "Nitya.. Formalities puri kar rahi hai Aarav tu jaa andar"

"Bhai main kaise?" she asked awkwardly.

"Tu pati hai na iska.." Aniket reminded him.

"lekin bhai... Main nahi" Aarav refused

Manvi shouted "Aditi.. I can't bear it..aur tum aana hai toh aao warna bhad mei jao..."

"Okay okay.. Main aata hun" he agreed and goes into the operation theatre along with her. Aniket smiled, he rubs his hand and paces up and down near the OT.

Nitya and Kaushalya reaches, Kaushalya asked "kya hua beta?"

"Maa andar leke gaye hai.. Aarav saath mein hai Manvi ke" Aniket informed her.

Nitya's hands were shivering, the day they were waiting for had arrived. She prayed that the delivery is successful and they don't lose their second child. Aniket kept his hand on hers and assured her everything will be fine.

Kaushalya moved to the hospital temple and starts to chant mantra.

Inside the room, Manvi was screaming in pain. Aditi signaled him to distract her the way he did earlier. Aarav nodded and glared at her "itna kyun chilla rahi ho?? Decision toh tumhara hi tha surrogate banne ka"

Manvi eyed him and shouted "haan mera tha.. Isliye itna pain bardasht kar rahi hun main.. Tum zayda mat bolo"

"Tum itna mat chillao" he argued.

Aditi said "Manvi push..."

Manvi held Aarav's shirt tightly, she had actually held his chest and he shouted "oouchh... mujhe kyun noch rahi ho yaar.."

"Shut up.." she shouted and pushes hard. She gets tired after a few hours and begans to sweat. Aarav wiped her face and caressed her head.

"Bas kuch der aur.. Push.. karo bhabhi maa ke liye bhai ke liye.. Humne ek dusre ko itna jhela hai iss din ke liye! Sabki umeedon pe pani mat phero please.." he was motivating her.

She was losing her consciousness, she closes her eyes and Aditi said "manvi aankhein kholo please.."

"Bhabhi maa ki maasi ki beti.. Hello.." he slapped her face lightly.

She opens her eyes and screams "Aahhh..."

"Main marr jaungi.. Main marr jaungi.." she said with tears brimming down her eyes.

"Kuch nahi hoga tumhe.. Main hun naa.." he said. She looked at him and pushes with the all energy left.

She grabbed his collar and pulled him closer to her "main marr jaungi aur marne se pehle wo karna chahti hun jo kabse karna chahti thi.. Tumhe kiss.."

She kisses his lips and his eyes became wide with this sudden action of hers. The baby crying sound is heard and she losses consciousness losing her grip on him and falls back on the stretcher.

Aarav was taken aback by what just happened, he came out trance of his thoughts when he heard the crying sound of the baby. Tears slips down his eyes and Aditi smiled at him "it's a baby girl.."

Aarav adored the just born, he wanted to hold her in his arms but controlled himself as Nitya and Aniket have the right first.

Here Nitya and Aniket were sitting holding each other hand. It has been 4 hours and there wasn't any news from inside. Finally, their long wait comes to an end when the OT door opens and Aarav runs out of the room.

He hugs Aniket and cries, Aniket caressed his head and gets worried seeing his condition. He informed them that she had delivered a baby girl. Nitya was overwhelmed hearing the news.
