8 MONTHS LATER

Anika was sitting on the bed, munching some chocolates when Shivaay came out of the washroom in a towel wrapped around his waist.

He was drying his hair with another towel when Anika whistled while looking at him.

Shivaay turned to look at her with widened eyes.

S- did you just whistle at me?

A- Of course. After all my hubby is so hot.

Shivaay chuckled at her boldness.

S- You know what, this baby made you very bold otherwise I wouldn't have thought that my village girl, who is also a nerdy, will be that bold and flirty. Hats off to you and the baby.

A- Why not? After all this is your baby, Mr. Flirty.

Shivaay chuckled and got ready for office. Anika took a maternity leave 4 months ago as she was heavily pregnant and it was getting difficult for her to travel to office. Her overprotective husband and father-in-law were too stubborn to send her to office, so she decided to do the work from home.

She forwarded the file to Shivaay.

A- This is Mr. Mehta's file. Please just reject their deal as it will cause us 40% loss.

Shivaay nodded his head and was about to leave when Anika stopped him.

A- Hubby.

Anika said lovingly. Shivaay looked at her with narrowed eyes because she shows so much love when she wants something.

S- What do you want, jaan?

Anika gave him a sheepish smile.

A- I want to go shopping with Gauri.

As this sentence left Anika's mouth, Shivaay's eyes widened in horror.

S- No Jaan. You're about to enter your 9th month and it's not safe for you to go out. You'll get exhausted. I'll order the shopkeepers to show you clothes at home only. No need to go out.

Anika glared at him.

A- But I want to go. I'm bored by sitting at home. Even mom and dad went to Lonavala for your cousin's wedding. Please na.

S- No Jaan. Please try to understand.

A- Shivaay, there is still one week for my delivery date. Please let me go na. I've to buy some baby stuff. And Gauri will be there with me. You know what you don't love me anymore because I've become fat.

Anika started crying. Shivaay wasn't able to see tears in his jaan's eyes.

S- Baby.. Please don't cry. You know I can't see you crying. Okay. You can go but if you feel slightest discomfort, then you'll immediately call me.

Anika nodded with a wide smile and it didn't seem that she was crying a few moments ago. Shivaay was shocked with her change in Expression.

S- Few moments ago, you were crying and now you're sitting like you never cried.

Anika looked at him while eating chocolates.

A- Because of the baby, my emotions are all over the place. But you won't understand this, you cannot become pregnant right.

Anika said while laughing loudly and Shivaay rolled his eyes.

S- Okay jaan. I'm going to office. When you leave the house, you'll call me and if you face any problem then also you'll immediately call me. Okay?

Anika nodded her head like a small baby. Shivaay pecked her lips and left for office. Anika squealed in joy and went to get ready.

Anika looked at her belly in the mirror which was more big than any normal pregnant woman.

A- Maybe our baby is more healthy than expected. Anyways doctor told us that the baby is healthy.

She dressed up in a green maternity dress.

The bell rang and a maid opened the door. Bhavya hugged Anika.

B- Wow bhabhi, you're looking so beautiful.

A- You're also looking very pretty bhavya. You didn't add one thing- that I'm looking fat.

B- Bhabhi, you're carrying a life and it's beautiful.

Anika nodded with a smile and they left for the shopping mall.

They did their shopping and Anika nodded some baby clothes as her due date was near.

As soon as they left the entrance of the mall and walking towards their car, Bhavya lost her consciousness and fell down. Anika was too shocked.

A- Bhavya.

She was getting very worried. She wasn't able to bend down because of her bell.

A- Bhavya, what happened? Bhavya wake up.

Anika looked around for help. She saw their driver.

A- DRIVER.

Anika shouted and the driver rushed towards them.

A- Help me to carry her to the hospital.

The driver nodded and they took her to the hospital.

Bhavya was taken for checkup and Anika was waiting in front of the room. She sat on the bench. She felt contractions in her stomach but she ignored it as she was feeling it since last month and doctor said it was normal.

She dialled Rudra's number and informed him about Bhavya. Rudra was coming her. she then dialled Shivaay's number.

S- Hello Jaan. Are you fine?

A- Shivaay, I'm in hospital.

S- WHAT? Is the baby coming now?

Shivaay asked her worriedly.

A- No Shivaay. Actually, when we went to mall, Bhavya fainted suddenly and we are here in the hospital.

S- Okay. Don't worry. I'm coming there.

A- Hmm.

Anika disconnected the call. In no time, Rudra, Shivaay and OmRi reached there.

R- What happened, bhabhi?

Anika was about to say something when doctor came out.

D- Who is patient's husband?

Rudra went forward.

R- Its me. Rudra.

D- Congratulations. Your wife is 1 month pregnant.

Everyone squealed in joy and they hugged each other.

They congratulated RuVya. They were about to leave the hospital when they heard Anika's scream. Shivaay rushed towards her worriedly and held her hand.

S- Jaan, what happened?

A- M... My... Wat... Water.... Broke.... Take me back.

They immediately admitted Anika and doctor said that it was time for delivery.

Shivaay joined Anika in the labor room.

He was holding her hand.

A- Shivaay, it's paining so much.

S- I understand, jaan.

Anika glared at him.

A- No you don't. If you ever come close to 10 metre to me, I'll ask mom and dad to throw you out of the house.

Shivaay's eyes widened in horror.

S- I'm sorry baby.

After so many efforts, Anika gave birth to a baby boy. After giving birth, another pain shot through her stomach and she shouted in pain. The doctor looked and another baby was crowning.

D- Oh My God! There's another baby.

Shivaay and Anika looked at the doctor in shock.

S- Doctor, are you on drugs? How can there be another baby? We saw only one baby in ultrasound.

Doctor glared at Shivaay. Anika finally gave birth to another baby which was a baby girl.

D- It seems that your baby boy was hiding your baby girl behind him, that's why it didn't show in the ultrasound.

Shivaay and Anika were delighted. They held the baby close to their chest.

Anika was shifted in a VIP room. Tej and Jhanvi also joined them.

T- Oh My God! Jhanvi they are so cute.

J- Hmm.

They were admiring the babies.

Shivaay and Anika took baby girl and baby boy in their arms respectively.

S- Thank you so much, Jaan. You made me the happiest man on this earth. I'm so lucky to have you and our babies.

A- Even I'm the luckiest woman to have you and our babies.

T- Have you thought of any names?

Shivaay and Anika nodded their head.

S- Adira.

A- Aditya.

They looked at each other in surprise as the names were very similar.

Their eyes glistened with tears and they kissed their babies' head.

ONE WEEK LATER

Today Anika was getting discharged from the hospital.

They reached Oberoi Mansion. Shivaay took Adira in his arms and Anika took Aditya in her arms.

They entered the Oberoi Mansion and Jhanvi did their aarti.

S- Come. I've to show you something.

Shivaay took Anika to one of the guest rooms and opened the door.

Anika was surprised to see the beauty of the nursery for their babies.

A- It's beautiful.

Shivaay lied down Adira in a pink cot and Anika lied down Aditya in blue cot.

They were admiring their babies and Shivaay side -hugged Anika.

S- I never thought that my roomie will be my soulmate and we will make so cute kids together. We can't ignore the fact that my kids are so charming like me.

Anika hit him on the shoulder while chuckling.

A- Even I never thought that my annoying and self-obssessed roomie will be such a good husband and a father.

They looked at each other and chuckled.

S- I love you.

A- I love you too.

They joined their forehead together.

"That's the beautiful thing about love... It's unintentional, and it can happen when we least expect it. "

Here ends the beautiful love story of two roomies who became soulmates. 😭😭

Few words for this book. 😊😊
