Soon they came back to Mumbai.

A month passed and their love for each other and the family increased. Shreya found her whole world in him while he felt all complete with him. The two PAs also became best friends. The couple merged their business and extended it. Vinod was also happy and the reason was same attention of Shreya towards him as it was before her marriage.

One day,

Daya woke upp when the sun rays disturbed him. He slowly opened his eyes and looked around. Shreya was still sleeping peacefully beside him. He smiled and kissed her forehead and looked at the watch.

He was shocked as it was 7 pm and she was still sleeping. He got worried but thought not to disturb her. He went to work out and then even took a bath.

He came out and saw Shreya still sleeping. He went to her and admired her innocent face for some times. He was still in a towel.

He smiled wickedly and sat over her on his knees on her either sides and so did his hands. She was sleeping tunred to the right. He kissed her cheek and she rubbed it. She took a turn and slept straight. He then kissed her nose and she turned to left while rubbing her nose irritatedly. He smiled and kissed her other cheek. She now got irritated and woke up. She sat up with a jerk, discovering Daya to be so near her that she felt his breath on her chest.

Shreya (irritated): Kya kar rhe hai, Daya? Sone dijiye na.

Daya (smiled): Ek baar time dekh lo.

Shreya (annoyed): Kyun kitna time huya hai? (she looked at the watch and got shocked): Kya! 9 baj gye. (almost crying): Itna late, aapne mujhe pehle kyun nhi uthaya.

Daya was crawling closer to her.

Daya (naughtily): Toh fir romance kaise karta.

He was about to kiss her, when she pushed him.

Shreya (annoyed): Itna late ho gya hai, aur aapko mazak soojh rha hai, office nhi jana.

Daya (leaned to her): kyunki madam, aaj Sunday hai hum dono ki chutti.

Shreya was embarrassed. She left to freshen up while Daya chuckled.

After sometimes, they were seated on the dining table and were having their breakfast.

Daya told Grishma about her late waking up and she felt quite fisheye.

In the mid noon,

Daya went to his room, only to find Shreya sitting on the edge of the bed opposite to him with her back towards him. He crawled the bed to her side and sat behind her. She was unaware of it and was eating a piece of tamarind or actually enjoying it.

He slid her hairs to her shoulder and moved his fingers gently on her bare back. She shivered and passed him an irritated look.

He frowed and snatched the tamerind from her hand.

Shreya (irritated): Daya, kya kar rhe hai? Dijiye na. (she tried to take it but he stood up)

She stood up while he ran all over the room while she chased him. Suddenly, she stopped and placed her hand on her mouth to stop her nausea. She ran to the bathroom while he stood there, quite worried.

Garishma entered and saw him with the tamerind.

Grishma (confused): Kya huya Daya? Aur yeh imli kyun kha rhe ho?

Daya (ooked at her): Main nhi mom, Shreya kha rhi thi aur abhi use ultiyaan bhi aayi hai.

Grishma smiled and moved from there. He was confused by her act.

Shreya came out and sat on the bed with a thud. She felt very weak. He went to her and sat beside her.

Daya (worried): Shreya, yeh tumhe vomiting kyun ho rhi hai?

Shreya (weakly): Pta nhi Daya, aaj subah se 6-7 baar ho chuki hai.

Daya was worried.

After a quarter of an hour, Grishma came back and took Shreya with her. Daya was said to be there itself.

In a few minutes, she returned with her. Daya stood up from the bed. Shreya was shy and looked at Grishma, who nodded. After that, Grishma left and Shreya came in with a shy smile.

Shreya (shyly): Yeh aapne kya kiya Daya?

Daya (immediately): Shreya, I am sorry…main tumhaara khayal nhi rakh paya (guilt tone): I am a very bad husband.

Shreya came close to him and stretched her feet to reach her ear.

Shreya (shy smile, whispered): You are the best husband and will be the best father too.

She stood properly and analysed his face, which showed confusion.

Shreya (looked down in shyness): I am pregnant.

Daya was surprised.

Daya hugged her tightly and had happy tears.

Daya (softly): Shreya, I have no words to express my joy. Thank you so much, to make my family.

Shreya (cupped his face): It has never been without you.

Daya smiled.

After nine months,

Shreya in in her nineth month and Daya used to take care of her like a mother. She wasn't even allowed to leave the house and not even to complete her file works.

She sometimes got irritated but was truly touched by his care. Shreya used to through tantrums like a 5 years old child and he used to scold her softly like the mother.

They were in the living room. Shreya was watching cartoon while Daya was enjoying her expressions. Grishma came and gave a glass of milk.

Shreya (annoyed): Nhi maa, mujhe nhi pina.

Daya (sweet scold): Shreya… drink the milk.

She shook her head like a child with an irritated pout.

Grishma smiled.

Suddnely, Shreya felt something.

Shreya (in pain): Ahhhh!

Grishma (worried): Daya, gaadi nikalo.

Daya went in hurry and they went to the hospital as soon as possible.

Shreya was taken to labour room.

Daya was walking too and fro while Grishma called the other three to come. Soon, Vinod, Tejas and Rishabh were there.

Soon, the crying of a baby was heard and all smiled with releasing of the breath they held.

A nurse came out with a smile.

Nurse (smiled): Congratulations, beti huyi hai.

Daya smiled and hurried in. Shreya was lying with closed eyes and a satisfied smile. Daya went to her and kissed her forehead. She opened her eyes,

Shreya (weak smile): Daya, dekhiye na humaari beti huyi hai.

Daya smiled and took the small creature out of the cradle.

Daya (smiled): Bilkul tumhaari jaisi hai.

The baby smiled and held his finger with her small hand.

Daya (looked at Shreya): Toh naam kya socha hai?

Shreya (without thinking): Dakshita.

Daya (softly): Tumhaari maa ka bhi yahi naam than a.

Shreya (nodded): Maine kaha than a aapko ki ek din maa aise roop mein aayengi ki main bhi nhi pehchan paongi aur main phir unka khayal rakhongi. Shayad aa gyi hai meri maa wapas.

Daya gave no response.

Shreya (looked at him): Agar aapko accha nhi lga toh koyi baat nhi, hum koi aur naam rakh lete hai

Daya (went to her): Dakshita, dekho tumhaari maa abhi takapne papa ko samajh nhi payi ki inki har khamoshi ka Matlab naa nhi hota.

Shreya smiled.

Shreya (suddenly): Thank you Daya, yeh sirf aapki wajah se ho paya hai

Daya (kissed her forehead)): I love you Shreya.

Shreya (smiled): Love you too, Daya.

The small creauture chuckled and they smiled and lived happily ever after.

The End
