In mid night !

Shamita was in her room. She just fed raqsh and was making him sleep when she received a call. She coulnt recieve as her phone was on silent mode so she missed that call.

But after some time when she turned her face, she saw a missed-call on her phone. She got confused , she slowly sat on bed halfway, took her phone in hands and saw the name 'RAQESH' flashes on screen. Her heart sinked when she read his name.

She looked around at her born baby boy who was sleeping peacefully. A smile automatically comes on her face. She understands that raqesh is now a father and he must have called to see his son, or maybe to know about him.

She then called back raqesh...and raqesh (who didn't slept) immediately picked up the call.

Raqesh - Hi ...shamita.....

There was silence for some time as they didn't speak in last 8 months...and were listening each other's voice after a long time.

Shamita : H...hi....

Raqesh - ...H how are you ....?

Shamita - I am better now....

Raqesh - Still in the hospital ?

Shamita - Hmmm....

(Raqesh got to know about the birth of his child one month later, when shamita posted a picture of him. He doesnt know that raqsh was born earlier, all this while he think that his son is just born. While there is reason that shamita posted the pic one month later and not when he was actually born. There is a reaosn she doesnt want raqesh to know about raqsh's birth.)

So she lied to him that she is at hospital.

(He was not able to speak and there was an awkward silence )

Shamita - Raqesh.....are you there....?

Raqesh - C...can...can I....can I see him once....?

Shamita smiled. She knew he has called to see him only but was hesitating to even ask.

Shamita - Ya...ya of course...he is sleeping right here....wait I will show you...

Shamita switch on the video camera and now they were on video call.

The moment shamita turned the camera to the baby's face, raqesh's heart melted. He immediately had tears is his eyes. He kept a hand on his heart as he can't touch his baby , but his one glimpse itself was enough for him to feel all the emotions at the same time.

Shamita could see the tears in his eyes through the camera. She is watching him cry and it made her emotional too.

He then blowed a flying kiss from camera.....'My baby'

That moment was pure bliss for all three of them. That little one didnt even know how he is bringing his parents closer , who have not even talked to each other in a long time are now on a video call each at 3 pm in night.

Shamita may have separated from raqesh and she may still hold grudges against him, but....
She knows that he is a good father and he loves his baby alot. She will never want to deprive him of this father-son bond with his child.

Shamita : Do you know raqesh, he got your dimples...and he looks so cute when he smiles....
(she was telling him everything with pride and smile on her face)

Raqesh was amazed to hear that, words fall short for him to explain how he was feeling right now. He has a 'mini version of him' who is already giving him competition in good looks.

Raqesh (with smile) - He is really cute na and I am sure he is gonna be so handsome in future. He will be charmer just like me.

he said and shamita gave him a look!

Raqesh - I....I mean, he will be better than me. Okay He will not gonna be like me....sorry. (he said when shamita gave him a stern look from camera)

And then they talked for an hour discussing about the baby. Shamita was sharing the feeling of becoming a mom, and raqesh was asking her question about baby. What does he do in day, how he sleeps, how many time he wakes up, does he cry much, does he smile,and many more.

.......

On the other hand , Shilpa who sleeps in next room was disturbed in sleep when she heard someone talking on phone. She got up and peeked in shamita's room and saw her talking with someone on video call.

She knew it is Raqesh, as the only person whome she can talks so much with is him. And the only person who can make her forget everything and anyone is him only.

A sudden smile came on shilpa's face knowing that shamita is happy. She didn't disturb them and just went back to in her room to sleep.

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

Days passed by !!

Little Raqsh become everyone's apple of eye. Everyone loves him to the moon and back and that little boy brought abundance of happiness with him. He filled everyone'/ life with joy.

On the other hand Bapat's get to see Raqsh's pics everyday, as Shamita share his pics with Isha.

She knew that bapat's also love raqsh and they crave to see him everyday. So by one way or the other shamita makes sure she keep sending raqsh pics to them.

In this way, even raqesh gets to see his little baby. Shamita never want the baby to miss any relation he has, be it his father, sister, grand-mom and all. She wants him to recieve everyone's love and affection.

After 1 month it was Raqsh's second month birthday.

Shilpa insisted to celebrate this day in a grand way (they couldnt celebrate raqsh's first month birthday as shamita was going rhrough post partum and also baby and her both were quite weak. But this month they have a reason to celebrate.

It was just a small family get together at shilpa's house. They decorated the living room in a 'Mickey-mouse theme' and a cake was ordered to celebrate little Raqsh.

Akku and family arrived and aamir has also there.

Shamita brings the birthday boy as she steps down the stairs. They both were looking adorable. Shamita wore a floral mini white dress with transparent high heels, and raqsh was dressed in white shirt with a bow and red pants. He is looking like a cute little button wrapped in shamita's arms.

Everyone adored the mother and son.

Isha was also on the video call, as shamita never miss to include her in any celebration related to raqsh.

Isha was in her room on a video call, watching the birthday celebration of her brother.

Raqesh passes by her room when he got to hear some hooting and noises.

He peeked inside and saw shamita and raqsh through isha's phone.

He stopped , just stayed there as he didn't want to miss this moment. Secretly he stood near door and watched them celebrate the birthday.

He smiled looking at his baby.

Raqesh - Mera bacha.....he said and blowed a flying kiss to him.

It was cake cutting time. Shamita held raqsh in one hand and was cutting the cake with the other. Raqsh kept moving in her hands which made her disbalance herself and she was about to fall. Everyone got scared for a second.....

Raqesh - SHAMITAAAAAAA.........

This incident got raqesh's attention and he immediately ran inside Isha's room , took her phone and watched them. Raqesh got hell scared.

Raqesh - Is is he okay.....Why are you wearing heels with such a small baby shamita...agar tum gir jaati toh ? what if something happened to raqsh...agar use kuch ho jata....ya tumhe kuch ho jata toh...how can you be so careless with a baby....

And there was chaos in the house. Family and friends everyone heard him via phone and they were all silent.

Shamita's heart missed a beat for a second. All she worried about was for raqsh. She somehow managed to hold herself in place (with help of people standing around her) and she held raqsh even tightly in her arms just to make sure he is fine.

With the loud shout of raqesh and too many people around, raqsh got scared and he started crying..

Shamita consoled him in her arms.... "Bass bass baby ....mumma is so sorryyy..." she kissed all over his face.

Raqesh in the mean time realised his mistake.He realised he shouted too loud and that too when no one knows he is on the other side of video call.

Though his concern as a father was genuine and clearly visible to everyone present there, but secret virtual presence of him in the party was something that amazed everyone.

Shilpa to remove the awkwardness, took the phone and talked to Raqesh....

Shilpa : Raqesh...relax he.... he is fine. Kuch nahi hua hai, raqsh bilkul thik hai.....and we will be careful next time.

Raqesh felt guilty, he coulnt meet their eyes. He just nodded and cuts the call.

Isha was just watching him silently. They shared an eye contact and then raqesh left to his room.

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

Shamita was still scared as due to her carelessness, raqsh could have got hurt. Aamir saw the fear in her eyes and he went closer.

He came and held raqsh in his arms...
" Hey champ, see you scared mumma and everyone. Tell everyone that I am a strong boy.....hmmm.."

He gently kissed him and raqsh stopped crying.

Aamir looked at shamita and said....
"Hey he is fine.....chalo abhi forget everything and let's celebrate.....it's raqsh's birthday'

Shamita smiled, and cheered up. She kissed his tiny little hands.

They cut the cake.

Shamita held the cake and ate on behalf of raqsh...she gave a kiss on raqsh's cheeks whispering 'happy birthday my baby'. ❤️

After that she let everyone enjoy the party and went to her room with raqsh.

She tightly hugged him and squeezed her eyes in tears.

"I am so soooo sorry baby....mummaa is so sorry....I should have been more careful....I...I am not a good mother.....your dad was right, how can I wear heels"

.........

Being a single mom is tough. You need a partner to raise a child. But shamita was handling everything all by herself.

Waking up in nights , taking care of baby, making him stop crying and all those tasks are not easy.

.........

She was having mom guilt. About an hour later she recieved raaesh's calls. At first she ignored but later on she picked the call.

Shamita - Raqesh he is fine....I will be more.....(she started explaining when raqesh cuts her between and said)

Raqesh - I am SORRY .

She stopped and there was silence for few seconds.

Raqesh - I am sorry shamita....I just lost my cool. I didn't realise and I shouted at you, I feel guilty now.

Shamita had tears in her eye...

Raqesh - I am so stupid to say anything to you ....you have handled all this by yourself for last 9 months and I am no one to say anything to you....but pta ni mujhe kya hua...I just got scared for a second....

And thats when she realised their feelings were mutual. They both were just worried about their baby.

Shamita - It' okay raqesh...I understand....

Raqesh - No shamita, sab....sab kya soch rhe honge mere baare me.....I know they hate me...and today I just spoiled everything....

Shamita - No raqesh.....koi kuch nahi soch rha hoga, they know you are a father....and it's okay.

Raqesh - Still.....I don't have any right to shout at....you.....,he murmured

She went silent. They both coulnt speak anything after that......

And then raqsh started crying behind, Shamita left the phone and went to pick him up...

"Awwlee mera baby, muma is right here bacha"

Raqesh could hear his cries. He wanted to see him

Raq : Shamz...can I see him ?

She heard and she held the phone back in her hands...

Shamita (with a smile) - Raqsh, see...see dadda....

Shamita was making raqsh look into the camera, but raqsh is too small to understand anything. He is just crying and waving his hands in air.

But his small glimpse was enough for raqesh to spend his day ahead in peace.

Raqesh - Hi Baby...Why are you crying...don't cry please...see your mumma is with you.

Shamita - I think he is hungry, Raq i will call you back.

Raqesh wanted to talk more to him, but he could not do anything. He nodded and she cuts the call.

Raqesh felt the emptiness . He felt like he is misisng onto somethinh in his life.

..........

Later that day, At dinner table with family, shamita told everyone that she is planning to shift to her house.

Shilpa - But why do you want to stay alone...it is also your house....you can stay here.

Shamita - I know shilpa, but I have always lived in my house....and I am kinda missing my home now.

Shilpa : But baby, raqsh abhi bohot chota hai....how will you handle him alone.

Shamita looked at raqsh sleeping in her arms

Shamita - I will manage....we will make our small little family. Just me and him. And don't worry we will keep visiting here....afterall viaan and samisha will miss their brother na....so please let me go now.

And Shilpa nodded.....

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

Shamita packed her stuff and left next morning.

Shilpa held raqsh and shower him with goodbye kisses...

Shilpa : Mera bacha.....Maasi will miss you babyyyy.....come soon...

Sunanda aunty also held raqsh and pour him with love

Sunanda - you are my precious little baby raqsh.....nani maa loves you the most...muahh..she kissed his face.

Samisha nd viaan also came to say goodbye to their brother,

Samisha : maasi , when will you be back ?

Viaan - yes maasi....plz come home on weekends...so we can play with raqsh....

Shamita - ofcourse my babies....I will keep coming here...and you all can also come anytime....jab bhi raqsh se milne ka mann kre....aa jana....❤️

And she wished them bye and came to her place.
..................

She already informed the house helps to get it clean and hygiene for the baby.

She enters the hoouse, holding her little sunshine in her arms, for the first time . That moment was so special for her.

She remember telling raqesh in the same house that she is pregnant. She remember the moments spent with him in the initial days of pregnancy.

She remember how he took care of her and didn't let her hold even a cup or a plate.

She went to her room, the room that has so many memories with raqesh.

Her room now has a sweet little cot for her little champ (placed right next to her bed).

And she renovated the room as per Raqsh's need. It has a separate cupboard for raqsh's clothes, his diapers, his essentials and many more.

She layed on the bed and has sleeping raqsh to next to her.

Shamita - this is your house baby....you will grow up here and muma cant wait to make memories with you here. (she gently kissed over his face and smiled).
