OUR MARRIAGE IS JUST A PIECE OF PAPER : EPISODES 101 – 110
Episode 110
Later on, we had lunch, and I returned to the room.
I couldn’t find the watch which Dad had given me. Asking Sarah didn’t help either; she was clueless. I started searching for it again since I had nothing else to do in the afternoon.
I had finished reviewing my files as well. I began with the drawers beside my bed when my phone rang. “Yes, Mom…” She had called after a long time. “I am coming to visit you in the evening. Are you home?” “Yes!! I am home. Come soon…. Bye….”
It had been a while since we last met. The last time was on my anniversary. I know it’s not long, but it felt that way. I resumed my search.
In the first drawer, I found something unexpected. I never wanted to see it. AGREEMENT. It was a document that Ansh and I had signed. It had been a year since then. I looked through the pages; it looked strange. There were some stamps that I didn’t recognize.
I didn’t pay much attention to them at that time. Then I saw my signature. I wished I had never signed it in the first place. But…we did sign it…it happened.
I kept it in my purse, planning to store it in the office where it wouldn’t be easily found. I didn’t want anyone to know about it. As soon as I removed it, I found something else beneath it. What??? Oh no…
Pregnancy Books. Five to six of them. Ways to keep your Pregnant Wife Happy, Helping Guide To A Happy Time, What to Expect When You Are Expecting, Belly Laughs, The Expectant Father, and lastly, Dude, You’re Gonna Be A Father. Oh my goodness… The last one was the cutest of all.
I didn’t buy any of them. Then I noticed the bookmarks and some notes in them. Man!! They were in Ansh’s handwriting.
No!! This can’t be real. Was he reading all this? I even saw some ticks beside a few lines. I went through all of them. Should I be happy, surprised, or shocked?? I prefer to be happy. I had a grin on my face the entire time. This was surely an expected surprise. I gathered the books and placed them on the desk.
Ansh!! You really surprise me…

After almost an hour, Mom came. She brought many sweets and things to eat for me. Oh my goodness, I was craving so much now. I am surely going to gain weight. I missed her yogurt too. She didn’t forget to bring it.
“Aha!! You are glowing… How is your health?” She asked, caressing my hair. We were sitting with a cup of coffee for Mom and hot chocolate for me. I was on a coffee ban. “I am fine.
And so is the baby.” She took my hand in hers. I think she noticed something she shouldn’t. “Ahana…” “Yes, Mom…” “Why aren’t you wearing your ring? Is something wrong with Ansh and you? Did he say something to you? Don’t hide anything from me.” “Mom… Mom… Relax. Everything is fine.
There was a mark because of it, so I removed it for some time.” I lied. I shouldn’t have, but I didn’t have any other choice. “Are you sure? Don’t lie, honey. Is Ansh taking good care of you?”
“Yes, Mom… Not better… Do you see that over there?” I said, pointing towards the books. “Don’t tell me. Ansh is reading them?” She said, going through them.
I could tell she was equally surprised. I don’t know how much Ansh has taken from that, but he was putting in more effort than me. I was very happy.
” Yes!! He is…. So what do you think now?”
” Ahana… Trust me. You are lucky.”
I nodded. Even I thought so now.
And then we started our normal conversations like we used to do. I told her about Ansh’s amazing pasta, and then she told me about how Dad and grandpa were enjoying their time.
At around 8 pm, she left.
I asked her to have dinner with us, but then she said that everyone else was waiting for her. After a brief meeting with Dad and Grandad, she left. I was waiting for Ansh now. It’s time now.

It’s already 9, and he is still working. Sara had called me twice for dinner but I refused. I asked her to serve Dad and Grandad and leave. I told her Ansh and I will have dinner together.
I was waiting for him in the balcony. When suddenly I felt some drops of rain. I stretched my hand out.
Rains!!! In February!! Wow….
Seriously…. No one can predict rains in Mumbai. I loved rains. But I couldn’t enjoy myself in the monsoons, so I thought to have some fun. I removed my slippers carefully and tiptoed out. The ground was wet already. I carefully walked further.
The rain was falling slowly. I untied my hair. The sky had very few clouds, yet the rain felt refreshing. It wasn’t falling hard.
The drops felt cool and beautiful. I smiled and whirled around.
Jaai, Zara, and I always used to dance in the rain. It was the best time we shared together. The happiest time. I was almost drenched now.
As soon as I turned around, my leg suddenly slipped. I closed my eyes tightly. And I think I lost my balance. I was about to fall to the ground.
” Oh!!! God!! Please don’t let anything happen to my babies. Please…..” I prayed with my eyes shut tight.
” I won’t let anything happen to you or to our babies. Trust me, Ahana…..”
I didn’t realize I was in someone’s arms. My head was nestled in the crook of his neck. My hands wrapped around his neck. My eyes still shut tight.
” Ansh!!!” I said, recognizing his familiar smell, Davidoff Coolwater.
I held onto him tightly. I was already wet now and so was he. I felt completely safe in his strong arms.

At once, he picked me up, and I held onto him as my hands moved through his hair. I was scared like hell. There were tears in my eyes.
Having fun in the rain was definitely a bad idea.
” Ahana….. You are fine now, and so are the babies….. Open up…”
I opened my eyes slowly. He put me down, and I released my firm grip. He quickly brought a nice clean towel and covered my head and held me close to him. I didn’t realize what was happening.

I felt his slow breaths close to my ears. My hands were on his chest now.
I could feel its toughness because his shirt was completely wet now. I could feel his vest too as my hand was firmly placed on it.
” Ahana… When were you planning to tell me that we are having twins?”
Oh!! Shoot……..
