Like every night, shamita slept early. She has raqesh next to her so she has no worries and she sleeps more peacefully.

Raqesh was looking at her sleep, when suddenly her phone rang and he looked at the phone's screen , it was shilpa's call.

He wondered whether he should pick the call or not.

He didn't, but the bell rings again and again.
The third time he thought to pick the call as it can be something important.

Shilpa - Oh thank God you picked the call tunki.....where are you these days....no calls no messages....i first thought you must be busy in your shoots...but then I called your manger who told me that you have postponed all your schedules suddenly... Is everything alright ..?

Raqesh - Hi....Shilpa....

Shilpa - Who ...?

Raqesh - Umm...it's me..raqesh...

Shilpa - What.....? Are you with her right now ....? Where is she..can I talk to her....

Raqesh - ...she just slept....Sorry I was not supposed to pick the call ....but you called thrice so I have to......

Shilpa - What is going on raqesh.....and what the hell are YOU doing there....

Raqesh - Woh.....haan actually i called her randomly yesterday when i got to know that she is little unwell....and my home was just 5 minutes apart so I thought to visit her. But don't worry she is better now . She is on medicines and taking some rest.

Shilpa - Whatttt...she is unwell....you are there....I don't know what is happening.
Okay cutting the crap....I want you both here tomorrow.....understood. No excuses...and by both I meant both ...

Raqesh just nodded a hmm and cut the call.

Raqesh thought ' I think the time has come to tell the families' (he thought looking at shamita sleeping)

......

The next morning, raqesh told shamita about the call. They both went at shilpa's place after breakfast.

Entering inside......shamita smiles and goes directly to meet her mumma. She just went and gave a tight hug to her.

Shamita - mummaa....

Aunty - How are you beta....we were so worried...Shilpa ne btaya you were unwell ...what happened ?

Shamita - Nothing muma...bss thoda sa aise hi..I am fine now....(she said while not meeting her eyes)

Shilpa came from inside and shamita then went and hugged her.

Shamita - Sorry I didn't pick your call....I slept early last night...

Shilpa - That I know....but tell me what happen to you....you were unwell and tumne btaya nahi hume .....apne shoots bhi cancil kar diye and even your manager didn't know the reason..

Shamita - Haa vo achanak hi tabiyat khrab hui thi to cancil krne pade shoots....but abhi main thik hu...

Samisha saw her Massi come...and she immediately ran to meet her, but then she stopped, peeped behind and looked at raqesh coming....so she slowly just went near him.

Raqesh has a big smile watching her come~
'Hey beautiful...how are youuu'
he said picking her up.

Samisha was just smiling and feeling shy too as she is meeting him after a long time...

Raqesh kisses her cheeks 'You have grown so much baby...'
samisha was just blushing and smiling.

Raqesh - Give me a kissy.....he said bringing his cheeks in front of her...Samisha gave a quick peck on his cheek which made him smile.

He then drop her down and met others.

They all sat and Shilpa kept the talks normal and casual. They were talking about random things and just chit chatting over a cup of tea.

Samisha came jumpingly and sat next to shamita and was pulling her hands while saying.... 'Maasi come ....come with me I have to show you my toys....I got new toys.... '

Raqesh panicked as she was jumping around her which might hurt her belly...he immediately went near her and pulled samisha back....'Samisha nooo.....'

He picked samisha in his arms and said...."you wanna show toys....come i will see your toys....maasi is unwell na so we will not trouble her okay...but don't worry I will see all your toys come...."

Everyone just looked at this strange behaviour of his and looked at him.

His gesture made everyone curious and confused...and shamita just looked at him being over protective about her and then she looked at the confused faces of her family.

Shilpa looked at shamita and says....

Shilpa : Shamita.....can I ask you...ye sab kya chal rha hai...?

Shamita : Kuch nahi chal rha hai munki ....sab normal to hai...kya hua....

Shilpa - You said you are well now ..and you look fine too, but raqesh is behaving differently.......why he is so worried about you ? Kuch to baat hai....

Shamita felt nervous. She had not made her mind yet whether to tell everyone about the pregnncy or not.

Shamita : munki please trust me na....kuch baat nhi hai . Agar kuch.....kuch hoga toh i will tell you ..but filhal kuch nahi hai ...we are just friends & we are cordially with each other that's it.

Shilpa knew something is there but she decided to trust shamita.

Shilpa - Okay I believe you if you are saying so.....but just in case, you know you can tell me anything.

Shamita nodded with a smile!

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

After the lunch....Shilpa served the dessert.

They all were eating the sweetdish, but Raqesh didn't ate as he was busy playing with samisha ...

Shilpa : Raqesh come have dessert first, then play with her...

Raqesh nodded....he came and sat next to shamita...

He had the first bite of the dessert ..and then he had another one, after which his face expressions changed...

He looked at Shilpa and asked ' What...what ingredients does it has?

Shilpa was confused as he never asked such questions...but she replied....

"It's just yoghurt with some mashed fruits and dry fruits in it...But why....why are you asking ...didtn you like this? Should I get something else for you?

Raqesh got worried , he looked at shamita and realised that she already ate her bowl and just had a few more bites left.

' Did you ate this shamita ?'

Shamita was clueless - Yaa....but what happened to you....

Everyone was looking at raqesh with clueless eyes while he immediately took the bowl from shamita's hands and kept it aside and said...

Raqesh - Ohh shit...you should not have ate this shamita .....I don't know what will happen now... we have to go to the doctor....'

Shilpa - Raqesh...we know shamita is lactose intolerant and that's why it's almond yoghurt, nothing will happen to her...

Raj : Arew raqesh hua kya hai.....sirf yoghurt hi tha ...it's harmless man...

Raqesh (panicking) - No jiju ....it is harmfull...it has papaya in it ..and shamita can't eat papaya because she is pregnant.....Now...now she has ate it....and agar mere bache ko kuch ho gya......no no we have to visit the doctor right now.

And with that, as he said in one breath, he didn't realise but he broke the biggest shocking news to everyone in the most unexpected manner

Shilpa and Raj were in utter disbelief.

Sunanda aunty was also in shock hearing that shamita is pregnant....while shamita just looked at raqesh.

Raqesh now realised that he unknowingly told them about shamita's pregnancy. But right now he was more concerned about the baby...

He looked at shamita as she was looking at him and he said....

Raqesh - Whatt....? Chalo shamita ..why are you still sitting .....we have to go to the doctor ..i am sure there must be some some medicine for this. Agar abhi medicine ni li toh dont know kya side affects honge.....chalooo uthooo.....

Shamita didn't know what is happening around her. she was just numb right now and didn't know what to do . So she just did what he said...she got up and took steps ahead with him....when...

Shilpa - Wait raqesh.....doctor ke paas jane ki koi zarurat nahi hai ...this thing has no medicine....and moreover papaya was just in small quantity .....itne se khane se kuch nahi hota...she will be fine.

This made them stop and they looked at her

Shilpa : And shamita ...you come with me ..mujhe tumse baat karni hai....

She said it quite seriously and went upstairs to her room. Shamita looked at raqesh for a second and then she followed shilpa to her room.

Meanwhile, Raqesh was not meeting eyes with anyone. He was feeling awkward and strange.

Raj came to raqesh and put a hand around his shoulder as he wanted to have a man to man talk with him.....

Raj : Come let's have a drink

They came in the bar section and he mad them drinks

Raj - Raqesh I know it was a wrong timing to break such a big news, and these ladies will definately have a lot of drama now......But trust me as a family we will always be there with shamita and you ofcourse.

Dekho ab jo ho gya so ho gaya....I don't want to go into details .....Lekin mujhe tumse bass ye janna hai.....on a serious note ...Are you guys together....?

Raqesh - jiju woh.....

Raj - just answer my question.....are you guys together or not...?

Raqesh - I....I have no answer for this right now...

Raj - Huh...that clearly means you are not....so tell me what are doing here raqesh....?

Are you going to marry her or Are you just going to live with her forever ?
Are you going to raise this child like a normal family with her....or are you guys going to just co-parent the child ? What are your plans tell me....?

Raqesh - jiju mujhe ye bass 2 din pehle pta chala hai.....and shamita ko bhi bs ek week pehle pta chala. Or jab...jab usne mujhe btaya so we don't have time to discuss anything.

Raj - Raqesh.....I am not a kid.....mujhe pata hai ki bache aasman se paida nahi hote hai...it involves a process....and if you guys had that process that means there is something between you guys..... then what's the problem in getting married?

Raqesh looked down , he said....

Raqesh - Jiju....it's very complicated.....Abhi mujhe iss baare me baat nahi karni . Right now she is going through difficult days. First trimester hain and she just needs me around, that's it.....and that's what I am doing for her. Maine abhi usse aage ka kuch nhi socha hai.

Raj : Are you even listening yourself raqesh..? ye bacha hai koi koi mazaak nahi hai.....if she is pregnant that means she is going to have a full time responsibility. Ye koi choti baat nahi hai....and main use ye tab hi karne dunga jab I am sure that someone is going to be with her ALL THE TIME.
Ye nahi ki aaj usko tumhari zarurat hai to tum ho......or kalko agar nahi hogi toh....? Toh tum chale jaoge ?

Raqesh - No I will be with her jiju...main kaha jaa rha hun...I am not leaving her alone in this , I will be with her and our child...that's my promise ..

Raj - then why not marriage raqesh ...? WHY ...? IS IT SUCH A DIFFICULT DECISION ki tumhe time chahiye ???

Raqesh - Jiju you will not understand this...I have my issues........and shamita ko isse problem nahi hai....ussne mujhse nahi pucha ye sab....she is okay with this...jaisa hai sab sahi hai ...

Raj - No raqesh....let me make this very clear with you......shamita don't know what is right for her life ......she make decisions and then regret it later.....lekin iss baar main usse regret nahi karne dunga...it's either this way or that way.

Raqesh was silent after this, he has nothing to say!

...........

On the other side, sunanda aunty , shilpa and shamita were in room.

Shilpa : When were you planning to tell us ? (she asked being dissappointed)

Shamita (feeling embarresed) : I am sorry munki...main batane wali thi but.....I....I was not sure how will you'll react to this....and moreover I....i was feeling very....very guilty....it's such an embarrassing thing...(shamita got emotional and she had tears in her eyes)

Sunanda aunty sat next to her " No baby.....you are not supposed to cry.....please don't....she wiped her tears and shamita just hugged her

Shamita (crying) : I am sorry mumma....I know I disappointed you....I always does that.....I am so so sorryyy....

Sunanda - No my darling .....you can never do that.....you are my pride bacha....and it's okay...life happens. There is nothing wrong in this.....you are going to become a mother and you know what...... there is nothing more pious and pure than this feeling. Motherhood is always to celebrate beta not to cry upon. Please stop crying.

Shamita broke the hug and she looked eye in eye with her mother....

Sunanda aunty wiped her tears....and kisses her forehead ..' Now listen to me very carefully....
first of all....you will never feel ashamed or feel guilty about yourself as we all know how kind and responsible person you are...you can never do anything wrong ...understand that.

And secondly, beta you always have your family with you. We all...we all are there with you come what may. Chahe kuch bhi ho....we will support you strongly in whatever decision you take in life. So never hide anything from your family.

She nodded while cruing!

Shilpa came and sat with them. She kept a consoling hand on shamita's hand and said ..

Shilpa - Tunki ....yaar it's such a good news that you are going to be a mother..... you will have a baby....we will have another child in this house....it's such a happy news ...but....but all we are worried about is YOU.

Hume baby se koi problem nahi hai....and hume pata hai raqesh bhi iss baby se utna hi pyar karta hai jitna tum ..we all saw that today.
But what about You shamita....? Does he loves you....?

Yaad hai na tumhara breakup kaise hua tha...what all went wrong.....why you both decided to end that relationship ....you remember all that right ...

Shamita listened and she was not meeting eyes and looking down...

Shamita - I remember everything....

Shilpa : Then ??? What have you guys decided ..kya socha hai tum dono ne aage ka....?

I am sure this baby happened that means you guys were in touch after break up....and agar tum dono saath me ho hi toh isse badi good news kya ho sakti hai..... why not you guys get married. And now it's also the best time to take that step.

Shamita - Munki woh .....we were not in touch...it just happened one day...hum dono saath me nahi hai ....

Shilpa - Okay okay.... I don't want to go into that details....it's your personal life......but thik hai maan liya tum dono saath me nahi the....lekin ab.....ab aage kya ..? Aage to saath rehne Wale ho na.....for the baby...?

Shamita : I don't know....humne baat nahi ki hai abhi is baare me....maybe yes....or maybe not...

Shilpa : Baat nahi ki....? Par kyu .....listen Tunki it's not time to be emotional.....I know what you are thinking .....hum sab jante hai how much you loved him...and your love was so selfless ki tum apne baare me kabhi kuch nahi sochti thi....
But this time.....this time we will not let you do that again .....we will not let you repeat the same mistake again.....iss baar baat tumhari nahi tumhare baby ki bhi hai......atleast the baby deserve a happy family.

Shamita got up and said...

Shamita - So what can I do now Munki........I know meri galti hai...I am at fault....ye jante hue ki raqesh never wanted to get married ..ye jante hue ki humara breakup ho chuka hai ...I let all this happen.....I let him come into my life again.....I went weak for a moment.....it's all my fault .....

Shilpa - No shamita...ye galti nahi hai....ye tumhara pyaar hai uske liye....You love raqesh...you still love him.....and somewhere we know he also loves you .....but ye bacha ye rishte....ye sab sirf pyaar pe nahi chalte shamita ....life aise nahi chalti...hume kuch headstrong decisions lene padte hai life me.....life is not always a cakewalk.....

Shamita didn't understand what she is trying to say.....she looked at Shilpa and say...

Shamita - what....what do you mean to say....

Shilpa : Shamita...I am your sister...we are a family okay.....we have your back...and this baby is our baby.....it's part of our family ...so all we want is happiness for you both....and aise broken un-names rishte me vo happiness kabhi nahi milegi....

Shamita - So what should I do now .....

Shilpa - Either you ask raqesh to get married to you and you guys stay together forever....or..

Shamita - Or ...?

Shilpa - Or you guys get separated forever....

Shamita was mum

Shilpa - Ya to dono shaadi karke saath rho...ya hamesha ke liye ek dusre se dur ho jaayo...there is no in between. Tabhi tum or voh khush reh paoge....

Shamita : but Munki. ...

Sunanda - No beta....Shilpa is right ....hum jante hai beta ye itna easy nhi hai....but...but tum ek baar baat to karke dekho raqesh se...pehle baat or thi but I am sure ab vo maan jayega .....we saw how much he cares for you and for the baby......jab vo itni care karta hai tum dono ki to vo shaadi ke liye kyu mana krega ...please talk to him .....

Shamita nodded half heartedly ...as she know that both sides it's her who is going to lose.

.........

The next day.....at shamita's house.

Raqesh made breakfast and bring in the room for her. He wakes her up

Raqesh - Hey get up shamz...its time for breakfast...jyada der sougi to bhuki rhogi...or starving is not good for you....come on come on..look what I made ..

Shamita got up and sat in bed.....

Raqesh smiles at her and gave a peck on her cheeks....'good morning'

Shamita - good morning....

He made her eat....and she ate silently. After which raqesh gave her medicines.

Raqesh - okay now you can rest....and mujhe abhi nikalna hai ek meeting hai....but I promise I will be back till lunch ...

He stood up and went to the cupboard to get his clothes to get ready.

Shamita wa sjist looking around him doing all the stuff so nicely and perfectly. She adore the way he takes care of her.

Shamita - Raqesh.....aaj doctor's appointment hai evening me.....will you come along ..?

Raqesh heard - Yes of course.....lunch ke baad we will go together....

Shamita - Par tumhara shoot hai na shaam ko...

Raqesh - nahi baby...maine vo cancil kardiya tha...ab next week se start hai...

Shamita - why are you doing all this for me raqesh ?

Raqesh turned around and he looked strangely at her ..

Raqesh - what do you mean by that....? Why will I not do these things haan...? Tum meri responsibility ho ....or ye baby mera hai....

Shamita - Sirf responsibility ? Or sirf isiliye ki ye baby tumhara hai....you are taking care of us ?

Raqesh was confused. He sighed, he kept his clothes aside and came sat next to her....

He kept his hand on hers and ask....

Raqesh - kya hua hai.....why are you suddenly asking these questions .....has anything happened...?

Shamita - Nahi hua kuch nahi hai...but tumhe nahi lagta ki hume baat karni chahiye...

Raqesh frownes his eye brows and replied
'Regarding what....?

Shamita - regarding our.....our future...?

Raqesh sighed. He knows now what she is talking about. He as usual tried to avoid the situation and he said...

Raqesh - okay jo bhi baat karni hai raat ko karre hai abhi I am getting late....

He goes inside the washroom to change and get ready for his meeting.

Shamita just sat there again left alone with no answers from him.

......

Later that day, after lunch they went to doctor for shamita's first scan.

He was with her when they both heard the baby's heartbeat together.

Doctor : Did you hear raqesh....that is the sound of your baby's heart beat.

Raqesh was hearing and he had a priceless moment. He was listening this for the first time...and he dont know how to express the exact emotions running inside his mind. He got teary eyes and wa sjust looking at the monitor while hearing that most beautiful sound in the world.

Shamita smiled and she also got little emotional hearing that heartbeat. She just constantly looking at the monitor.

They both then looked at each other and shared an eye lock.

Raqesh got overwhelmed....he bent down and pressed a kiss on her forehead.

Raqesh : this is the best thing I have heard shamita...I don't know how I was missing on this feelings till date. I don't know what happiness looked like before. This is the real happiness.

Shamita was just smiling having tears in her eyes.

Doctor then help her clean and they both came sat in doctors cabin.

Doctor - baby is healthy as of now...and shamita also looked good. Just continue with the current medicines ..and we will meet you at the second scan okay.

They both nodded and headed back to home.
The entire ride was silent as they both were ust engulfing onto this feeling they just experienced.

They reached home. After having some discussions and talks they had dinner. Post dinner they were ready for the bed and raqesh brought milk for shamita while shamita was already tucked in bed.

..........

Raqesh - here....your milk...

Shamita : Thank you..

Raqesh smiles 'your welcome'

Raqesh just sat on his side of bed and got busy scrolling through his phone. Shamita had her milk and she was looking at him in betweens.

After finishing her milk...she continue looking at him....and got the strength to finally talk to him.

She went little.closer and entangled her arm in his and kept her head on his shoulder.

Raqesh smiles and continue watching at his phone.

Shamita - Raqesh can I ask you something ..

Raqesh : hmm...

Shamita - everything is looking so perfect now......you me...our baby. You are taking such good care of me....I have also got more calmer and cool after pregnancy. And our baby....we heard his heartbeat for the first time....it looked magical. I always dreamt of this in my dreams...never knew that this can happen in real.

Raqesh - Hmm.....

Shamita - So......jab sab kuch itna perfect hai ..then why can't we make it for forever....

Raqesh fornwed.....he kept down his phone and looked at her ...

Shamita left his arm and sat straight, looking directly in his eyes and said with a very hopefull eyes....

Shamita : Can we.....CAN WE GET MARRIED and make this more perfect for our baby....?

Raqesh : what...but what is need of this baby....aren't you happy with me....? Am I doing something wrong ....?

Shamita - No raqesh....I am happy and you are not doing anything wrong ...Infact you are doing more than what I thought.....so ek permanent rishte me bandhane se kya problem hai...it's just for the name sake raqesh.....

Raqesh - name sake kya hota hai shamita....agar saath rehna hai to bina naam ke bhi reh sakte hai....or agar alag hona hua to vo to shaadi ke baad bhi ho skta hai .....shaadi is not always a permanent solution.

Shamita : hota hai raqesh...tumhare liye nahi hoga par mere liye hai....I want marriage....I want a normal family....I want a perfect life ..har ladki ko chhaiye hota hai raqesh.....or kalko jab humara baby bada hoga school jayega to kya bolega vo sabse....ki uske parents married nahi hai....do you know how will it impact his life ??? You very well know that....

Raqesh just got up in anger and stood out of bed and said ....

Raqesh : Parr mujhe ye sab nahi chhaiye ......TUMHE CHAHIYE TO TUM KARLO KISI SE SHAADI ...banalo ek happy family......lekin mujhe shaadi nahi karni....don't expect this from me....

He sais out loud ...and in anger

Shamita left speechless...she had tears in her eyes

She also got up, came  face to face him and said....

Shamita : ye kya bol rhe ho raqesh...are you even listening yourself....

Raqesh - Haan shamita I am listening what I said......and I mean it....tumhare liye shaadi or ye sab permanent rishta and all that itna important hai life me...toh tum karlo shaadi....I will never stop you....you have all the freedom....kisne roka hai tumhe .....

and with that a tear fell from her eyes...but she also has rage and anger in her eyes .....she replied....

Shamita(in anger) - Raqesh.....why are you so stubborn......itni zidd kisliye.....shaadi karloge to kya ho jayega....mere liye tum itna nahi kar sakte....atleast do it for your baby.....?

Raqesh - Ohhh stop it shamita ....please ab ye sab shuru mat karna.....har baat pe baby ko beech me lana.....I don't like this emotional blackmail and all .....baat hum dono ki ho rahi hai so stick to that only....(he said turning his face around)

But shamita pulled his hand and make him look back in her eye and she replied ...

Shamita - Fine I will stick to us ...so tell me....Do you love me ????

Raqesh again tried to turn his back...but shamita held his hand and stopped him...

Shamita : don't look away.....look straight in my eyes and tell, tell me you don't love me anymore..?

Raqesh - Yes I love you ....I always loved you...and I will always love you.....bass ho gya....

Shamita (emotionally crying) : toh problem kaha hai raqesh...kyuuuu....kyu tum itni choti si baat pe zidd kar rhe ho.....even when you love me, love our baby...then whyyy....

Raqesh : Shamita ye meri zidd nahi hai mera faisla hai......tum mujhe nahi samajh sakti toh its fine.....I don't expect you to understand me....main jaisa hu vesa hi rhungaa...I will not change.....isiliye faisla ab tumhara hai....you decide for yourself.

Shamita - Yahi...yahi baatein...firse vahi sab baatein raqesh, vahi sab jhagde....yahi se shuru hua tha sab and then we ended everything...kyunki hum dono ko roz roz ladne se better alag hona laga....because we both wanted peace in life.

Raqesh -Exactly see.....I knew this will happen isiliye maine ye baat ki hi nahi thi...but you...you started all this.....sab sahi chal raha hai na toh why you wanted anything else....kya itna kaafi nahi hai tumhare liye ?

Shamita wiped her tears....

Shamita : Lets not discuss anymore raqesh...because main kitna bhi explain kar lu tum meri feelings nahi samjhoge...or shayad na main tumhari....Tum kabhi nahi samajh sakte ki mujhe kya chahiye ...or shayad main tumhe nahi samajh paa rhi hun.....

Raqesh was silent ....they both shared a silent eye lock for a minute.

Shamita : toh thik hai.....roz roz firse aise hi ladaiyaan shuru ho....isse better hai ki hum finally hmesha ke liye iska end kar de.....

Raqesh don't know why she is saying this...why can't she just let it be

Shamita - jab hum dono ek dusre ko kabhi samajh hi nahi sakte....to saath rehne ka koi fayda hi nahi hai.....we will never be happy.

Raqesh - .......but shamita.....problem kya hai when everythibg is going fine....we are together, we are having a baby.

Shamita (crying and shattering voice) - Shilpa was right.....main kabhi aise khush nahi reh paungi .....and main firse vahi galti karne jaa rhi thi ....pr ab nahi....we ..we can't stay together anymore .....hum dono agar shaadi nahi kar sakte to humare saath rehne ka bhi koi vajood nahi hai......it's better we drift apart....forever.....

Raqesh - What.....?

Shamita - Yes raqesh......I know I know thodi problem hogi ......but I have my family with me....main..main handle kar lungi....

Raqesh - problem...family....handle ...? Ye kya bol rhi ho shamita ..or Mera.....Mera kya....?

Shamita : tumhara kya raqesh....tumne hi kaha na I am free to do whatever I want...SO I HAVE DECIDED WHT I WANT. (she said wiping her tears)

Raqesh was just listening her silently...

Shamita : I have decided that.....I will raise this child alone.. This baby is mine....and now it's my only responsibility...and my only reason of living.
I love him unconditionally Raqesh and ye pyaar mere liye kaafi hai.....mujhe or kisi ke pyaar ki zarurat nahi hai life me.
Because roz-roz ladne se, rone se, or pachtane se better hai main ek sukoon ki zindagi jiyu....jo mere or mere baby dono ke liye acha hai....

I know shuru me thodi takleef hogi ...par dheere dheere aadat pad jayegi....and vese bhi main to hamesha se akeli rahi hu....I have always been all by myself ....or ab toh Mera baby hoga mere paas. I will not be alone.

Raqesh was silent .....he know he can say alot of things ...but right now silence is all he can do. He know she is emotional....and he also know that he can't give her what she want.

Raqesh - Ye tumhara aakhri faisla hai...?

Shamita was silent....she expected him to say something....but as usual he proved her wrong.....he stick to his words and didn't say a single thing to her.

She just nodded in a yes.

And that was it. Everything drifted apart between them !!!

Raqesh had tears in his eyes....and shamita suppressed her tears because right from this moment ..she has to be strong.

Raqesh took baby steps ahead. He slowly came closer to shamita. Shamita was getting weak but she still suppressed her tears and didn't let them fall.

Raqesh looked in her eyes for a second and then he looked down. He kneeled down and sat on his knees.

Shamita also looked down.

Raqesh had tears in his eyes but he smiled.
He gently held her waist, came closer and kissed over her belly. It was a long kiss full of emotions and his eyes were closed.

And this time shamita could not stop her tears from falling. Tears fell from her eyes which were full of pain watching that love he has for his baby.

Raqesh broke the kiss and gently caressed on her belly and said ....

Raqesh - I am sorry baby..am not a good father.....but trust me I...i love you...I love you more than anything in this world.
I heard your heart beats today and I felt like....like I just started living now. You don't know how precious you are. I promise I will always have your back. Aap mujhse pyaar kro na karo ..but I will always always love you.

He kisses back again...and then he stood up.

Raqesh : shamita.....mujhe nahi pata ye sahi decision hai ya nahi .....shayad ye galat decision hai ....hum abhi bhi ek saath rehke iss baby ko ek happy family de sakte hai ....but since it's your decision I will not say anything.
Ye baby tumhare andar hai...mujhse pehle ispe tumhara haq hai or iske liye faisle lene ka haq bhi sirf tumhara hai.....I am sure tumne jo socha hai iske betterment ke liye socha hoga...

Par phir bhi agar kabhi bhi you need me , remember that I am there. Hum saath rahe ya na rahe ...par tum or ye baby hamesha meri responsibility rahoge. I know you are strong ...tum independent ho and you don't need anyone....and I wish ye decision tumhare liye best ho....
Main hamesha se tumhari Khushi hi chhata tha ..or agar tumhe lagta hai ye krke you will be happy......then I have no problem....
Main hamesha hmesha ke liye tumhari life se chala jaunga.....just make sure you are happy and at peace.

He place a hand on her cheek and gave a peck on her forehead.

Shamita closed her eyes as she is overwhelmed and emotional at the moment. She feels like everything is drifting apart......and there is nothing left now. But for the baby she decided to be strong.

Raqesh left and shamita stood there alone....!!!
