Next morning !

8 am

Raqesh in sleep realised raqsh's movement. He woke up and saw that raqsh was sleeping but he was crying in his sleep .His eyes were shut while he was weeping at a very low pace.

He gently sat and held him in his arms and caresed him to sleep, thinking maybe he got up in half sleep.

But later he realised that he might be hungry. He got up and went to shamita's room.

Shamita was not there in her room so he then went outside and looked for her in the living hall..where she was doing her yoga.

Raqesh at first was mesmerized at that sight. How beautiful she was looking in that yoga outfit...all hairs open, doing her breathing exercise, while having that post pregnancy glow on her chubby face. Raqesh could nt take his eyes off her.

Then he heard raqsh' s cries and looked at him...

Raqesh - Ohh....ya ya sorry baby.
Umm shamita woh I think he is hungry....he is crying for sometime....

Shamita open her eyes when she heard him say. She got up and came near them.

Shamita - Hi my baby (she pressed a kiss on his cheeks) I know you're hungry.....just give me 10 minutes haan ...
Raqesh can you plz hold him for 10 minutes...I will quickly take a shower as I can't hold him like this..

She has ocd and she dont want to transfer any germs to her baby. She went inside her room to get shower .

Raqesh waited for her outside in her room, sitting on her bed holding raqsh, rocking him to soothe him.

After 10 minutes shamita came out ...all fresh and hot. She was wearing a knee length white dress, comfartable to feed. Her hairs were all shining and her face glowed more after the yoga session.

Raqesh just couldn't take his eyes off her again.

Shamita quickly dried her hairs and came on the bed and silently took raqsh from raqesh.

Shamita - sorry baba...muma got late....

She sat on the bed and made herself comfortable to feed. While raqesh was still starring at her...

Shamita thought he would exit , she raised her eyes and looked at him and said....

Shamita - what...?

Raqesh just moved his head in a denial no...

Shamita : Umm...raqesh.....I have to feed him ...

Raqesh realised as she said, he came in senses and said....: Ohh han..yaa....sorry...'

He got up and slowly took steps back and left the room.

As he left, Shamita was in an emotional dilemma. There was a time when there was no distance between the two of them....and now is the time when she can't even feed his baby in front of him.
This awkwardness was somewhere hurtful for her.

.................

After feeding, raqsh slept in her arms only.
She smiled. She made him sleep in his cot and she went in raqeshs room to see if he needs something.

She stood outside his room when she saw him calling his driver to bring his stuff from his place as he has no clothes to wear.

Shamita didn't go inside as she don't want to increases this awkwardness between them. She want to keep it very normal and strictly to raqsh's concern and nothing about them.

So she left and got busy in her own daily routine.

Raqesh got his stuff and he settled in that guest room. He got ready and came for breakfast.

They had breakfast together but there was again silence between them.

Later when raqsh woke up, shamita asked him if he wanted to make him bath.

Raqesh thought he can't but shamita said she will help him and they both together can give him bath. Raqesh agreed and he helped her in giving bath to raqsh'.

Raqesh was enjoying every moment spent with his son. He made him bath, made him wear his clothes.....and did every small thing which he never thought in his dreams that he will ever do in this life.

Raqsh slept again after having a warm cozy bath.

Raqesh - Arew ye toh phirse so gaya....Tell me something how much does he sleeps in the entire day...?

Shamita laughed - He is a small baby raqesh, babies only sleeps through the day.

Raqesh - Yaa... and keep others awake at nights.

He said looking at shamita , and with that they both laughed out loud together..

Shamita : dekha ek raat me hi pata chal gya na...that how devil this little one is....

Raqesh (chuckled) - I swear.....God shamita I just slept for an hour or something the entire night .....how did you managed all this for two months..

And she looked at him and said - 'All alone' (she said looking deep into his eyes.)

Raqesh went silent. He felt guilty as he was not there with her when she needed him the most.

Shamita left the room....and raqesh stood there looking at raqsh sleeping peacefully in his cot.

.................

Days passed by,

Raqesh was enjoying spending time with his son. Day by day he got used to his daily routine...and raqsh also got used to raqesh being around.

Raqsh sleeps on raqesh's chest very peacefully & comfortably. It has now become his favourite place to sleep.

And shamita was just happy that raqsh is getting all the love he deserve. Her son is getting the love of his father.

One day evening !

Shamita was sitting on dining table, she was on a call with Aamir

Aamir : hey shamz.....how are you and how is my baby raqsh...sorry I didn't call in days..I was busy shooting.

Shamita : he is absolutely fine, he is missing his uncle.

Aamir : really...tell him that I will meet him soon...acha ye btao aaj raat ko kya kr rhi ho..

Shamita : Kya kar rhi ho matlab...I am always on duty yaa.....mom duty remember...

Aamir (laughs) : I knew this. I was just thinking of going out for dinner...our other friends will also join.....I thought raqsh is 2 months now.....and you have also recovered well....so come on you can spare few hours atleast....

Shamita (hesitantly)- umm no Aamir .....I am sorry...you know na I can't leave raqsh alone ...and he also needs me all the time ....

Aamir : come on yaar shamz....just for few hours...he will sleep by that time....or you can drop him to Shilpa's place...

Raqesh was in his room when he heard her, he came outside and heard her taking to someone on call.

Shamita : ....I am sorry Aamir...I can't go out....you know na jabse raqsh hua hai I have never stepped out...except went to shilpa's place that's it.

Aamir : yes baba I know....but some day you have to step out...how long will you stay like this.....infact let's bring raqsh along with you ..he can also join.
He will sleep I know but at least tumhare aas paas rhega so you will not be stressed and can enjoy yourself...

Shamita : Ohhh no no no ....I can't bring raqsh along......he is very small ......and he will fall sick...and what if media capture him ..no ya I don't want all this....

Aamir (understand her) - Hmm...okay fine....as you say ......chalo fir I will cancel the plan. But I will come and meet raqsh soon haan...

Shamita (smiled) - yes sure....he is waiting for you to cuddle him.....bye.....

And she cuts the call. Raqesh heard all this.

He didn't want to interfere in her personal life but out of no where...he ended up saying...

Raqesh - You can go out shamitaa.....I can take care of raqsh....

Shamita strangely look behind . She realised he was there....

Shamita : excuse me....?

Raqesh - Sorry I heard you speaking with someone....its okay agar tumhe bahar jana hai friends ke saath...you should go..raqsh ke paas main hoon....and you know now he is comfartable with me too, he can stay with me.

shamita got up and came near him...

Shamita - No raqesh it's not about that....tum ho ya nahi ho ..my decision will not change....I can decide for myself...

Raqesh - Sorry I didnt mean it in that way, I just meant you should not change your lifestyle after becoming a mom....I mean you can do whatever you want shamita .....raqsh should not be an obstacle for anything.....

Shamita sighed ..

Shamita : See raqesh....it's difficult to explain but trust me....being raqsh's mom is my biggest blessing. I can leave anything and everything for him. So raqsh is never an obstacle for me...he is my life.

And moreover even if I want to go out, take raqsh along with me or not...leaving him at home or not....it will be my decision...I will do that whenever I feel right.....so you don't have to worry about anything okay.

She took raqsh (who raqesh was holding when he came out) and went straight inside her room.

Raqesh stood there alone.

.............

Days passed by.....and slowly and gradually raqesh came more closer to raqsh. While shamita and raqesh were still miles apart even when staying in the same home. They hardly talk, and when they it is only related to raqsh.

Raqsh on some days sleeps with shamita and on other days he sleeps with his father. Although he wakes both of them in nights. Most nights shamita takes him with her whenever he wake up in midnight to feed and make him sleep.

In the morning raqesh loves having his time with raqsh , giving him baths, getting him ready and playing with him whole day.

After some days Raqesh started working ,and going out for his meeting and shoots. But unlike before times he now just looks at his watch whole day and finishes his work on time so that he can reach home before raqsh sleeps and get to spend some quality time with him .

Shamita also has her routine. She do her morning yoga and exercises. She has most of the time with her baby and remaining time she works from home. Shooting for some add shoots or other shoots which she can manage from home.

............

On one Sunday, raqesh decides to take shamita out for lunch. He wanted to take raqsh and shamita out for their first family outing. He was very excited and reached home around 2 pm, early that day.

When he reached home , he entered and saw Aamir was there and he had raqsh in his hands.

Raqsh looked happy and enjoying , smiling and giggling with Aamir

Shamita was next to them and they all were having a good time, making raqsh smile and he was also looking happy.

Raqesh felt a little sad watching that sight. He looked at raqsh who was giggling and he felt bad as he thought that his son only giggle's with him.

Then he looked at shamita who was actually smiling ear to ear and that makes him guilty as he had never seen her this happy in a while.

Raqesh was little shaken and taken aback. After these 15 days of utter joy and happiness which he got to spend around his son and shamita, he thought that he finally has a family and they all are living happily just as he wished.

But he forgot that he never own this family. He realised that no matter he is raqsh' s father but ....he is just a guest in this house.

No matter how much he loves both of them....but he can never claim them......as he had lost this right long back, when he left shamita alone in that pregnancy stage.

He realised that he can stay here as long as he want , but can never say this as his home because he doesn't belongs here .

This is shamita's house....and she has all rights in raqsh. While he is just a guest.

Raqesh was lost in all these thoughts that were bothering him.

Shamita looked up and saw that raqesh is home.

Shamita (smiles) : Hey...look raqsh , dadda is home ...

She make raqsh looks at the door....when Aamir also looked up and he got to see him. He didn't knew about him so he got shocked. He handed raqsh to shamita silently and got up.

Raqesh was entering inside looking at raqsh smilingly ....shamita was holding raqsh and making him look at raqesh ,pointing at him.....while Aamir was taking his steps ahead towards him

He came , stood in front of him and blocked his sight of raqsh.

Raqesh was shocked. He stopped and they both looked eye to eye.

Aamir - What are you doing here...?

Raqesh was silent....

Shamita stood up, she didn't expected this coming....

Aamir was in utter anger as he knew what all shamita had suffered due to this man.

Aamir - How dare you show up raqesh....don't you have any shame left inside you.

Shamita came and said 'Aamir....Aamir listen , sorry I forgot to tell you this...he...he is living with us for the past few days ...'

Aamir then looked at shamita ' What ???
.....that means you have no problem having him around you shamita....and that means you have no problem him being around RAQSH....?

Raqesh : He is MY SON......

Aamir looked back at him...'Ohhh woww...really you know he is your son.....yaad hai tumhe.....let me remind you he is the same baby you left shamita with when she was pregnant....where were you ...?

Shamita : aamir, stop it....please don't do this.....we will talk later...

Aamir looked at her ' Does shilpa knows about this....? Does Raj knows about him...?

He questioned her and Shamita looked down in guilt !!!

Aamir - Oh god shamita....how could you repeat the same mistake again and again.....you forget everything this man has done....you forgot how much pain he has given you ....

Raqesh was speechless as he knew aamir's every word was right

Shamita : But Aamir...he is raqsh's father....how can I make him stay away from him....

Aamir : Father....isko father ka matlab bhj pata hai....?

He said in a little louder voice because of which raqsh got scared and he started crying

As he cried...both Aamir and Raqesh came closer to hold him...

But shamita stopped them , she tightly hugged raqsh in her embrace and went straight to her room.

Aamir and Raqesh both looked at her going and then looked at each other...

Raqesh - Look Aamir.....I know you are shamita's friend and I have no problem. But you should also know that raqsh is MY son....this fact can't be changed and you cannot stop me from staying with my son.

Aamir was speechless....he was in utter shock and anger but he prefers to leave at that point .

He left in anger and raqesh went to his room.
