OUR MARRIAGE IS JUST A PIECE OF PAPER : EPISODES 101 – 110
Episode 109
Ahana quickly served them water. Well…. Actually, we are not on a date or something like that. I was just hungry….. ” Ahana was saying, but then I interrupted.
“….. Hungry or Craving?
Dad, Ahana was craving to have something cheesy.”
” So, he cooked Pasta for me. And it’s really delicious. You should try it. ” Ahana said serving them.
” Sure… We will. After all, We don’t get to eat such delicacies, and that too, cooked by him. ” Grandad said, pointing towards me.
” Hmmm.. It’s actually good. ”
” Ahana… You must have such cravings daily. Because of you, we will enjoy…. Isn’t it? ” Dad said, looking at me.

After a while, they went back to their room. Ahana and I too went after eating and cleaning up the mess.
” Ansh… Thanks… ”
” Welcome… Always. Come on now… Let’s grab some sleep. ”
The morning rays felt good. I saw Ahana sleeping beside me peacefully. Her hand wrapped around my waist, showing some sort of possessiveness which I liked.
I didn’t want to leave her, but there was something important that I had to attend to this morning.
So, I quickly freed it. There were some strands of hair falling on her face. I removed those and tucked them back. She moved for a while. Taking the chance, I kissed her forehead. I glanced at her for the last time and went for a shower.

When I returned after 15 minutes, Ahana was still asleep. She rarely sleeps so much. I think she must be really exhausted. Just then I saw my cell ringing.
“Mike… I was expecting your call.”
“Yes, Sir….”
“So… Did you find what I asked you? I hope you won’t disappoint me.”
“Absolutely, sir. I have all the information. But there is a problem.”
“Hmmm… You know I don’t like to hear that. But tell me.”
“You will have to make a call and speak to them. Or it would sound weird.”
“I’ll do that. Thanks….”
I hung up. I grabbed my wallet and handkerchief and just as I was about to leave, I heard Ahana’s cell beeping on the desk. It was on silent mode.
I saw the ID.
‘Dr. Bhatt’
I picked it up.
“Hello Doctor.. It’s Ansh speaking.”
“Hi… Mr. Raichand. Where is Ahana?”
“Actually, she is sleeping. Is it urgent? Should I wake her up?”
“No. That won’t be necessary. Actually, I called her to get your number. I would have to make a silly excuse. Good you picked up.”
“Yes… Tell me.”
“It’s something important, regarding Ahana. Can you please come to my clinic? I know you are a busy person…”
“That wouldn’t be a problem. I will come right away. Anyways I was leaving for my office. I hope it isn’t anything serious,” I said.
“It would be better if we speak one-to-one. I will be awaiting your arrival.”
“Yeah!! I will reach within an hour.” I hung up.
Now I was getting a bit worried. Mrs. Bhatt did sound a bit serious. I hope the matter isn’t serious and Ahana is perfectly alright.
I called Jen telling her to reschedule my meetings and postpone them by about an hour and a half. I kept Ahana’s cell phone beside her and kissed her forehead. Downstairs also the atmosphere was calm. I grabbed an apple and left the house.
I reached the clinic within an hour.
“Ah!! Mr. Raichand. Morning. I was waiting for you. Please follow me.”
“Morning… And Ansh would be fine.”
She nodded. I entered her cabin. It was huge, spacious, and airy.
“Tea or coffee?”
“No thanks…. I am good. You said you wanted to speak to me regarding Ahana.”
“Yeah! I wouldn’t take much of your time. Please take a look at this,” she said, pointing towards her laptop screen.
“Here…. Do you see these…?”
I gasped at what I saw. I was really shocked and mostly surprised.
“Ansh…. Don’t tell me Ahana didn’t tell you about this.”
I was speechless.
I couldn’t concentrate on my work after what Dr. Bhatt said. Why didn’t Ahana tell me? It was killing me inside. I had to have answers. I am supposed to know each and everything that was happening to her, and this is the most important of all. Why did she do this to me? It’s frustrating already.
“Sir….”
“Yes, Jen….” She interrupted my thoughts.
“Mike is here….”
“Send him in. And don’t disturb me today. I will go home early.”
“The Meeting with the Mehta’s?”
“I will text them. I have some other important work.”
“Okay!!” Saying so she left. I don’t know how will I be able to concentrate today. I need to go home.
God!! Ahana…. You will drive me crazy one day…
“Sir, May I come in?”
“Ya!! Mike…. Do you have the number? It’s been more than a year now. I just hope that everything goes right.”
Mike handed me a file. I dialed a number.
“Hello… I am Ansh Raichand speaking. Can I speak to Miss. Rose?”
I just hope she remembers me. No one could forget me though, but still. She is a very important client as well as a partner now.

AHANA’S POV
I woke up to find the space beside me empty. I was a bit disappointed. Then my eyes fell on the clock.
Oh no! It’s 10 am. I slept so long. But I was feeling fresh now.
But it felt good to sleep. I put my hand on the swollen belly. Yesterday night’s events replayed, bringing a smile on my face.
“Hi! Sweetie… Did you like what Daddy made for you?”
I am sure you liked it. I laughed at myself. Then I saw a sticky note on the mirror.
‘Hi.. Beautiful 🙂
Good Morning….
Take Care…
See you in the evening.
Ansh…’
Seriously!! Am I blushing? Why??
I picked that note and kept it in my clutch, along with the one that Ansh gave me on my B’day. I don’t know why I did that, but I just couldn’t help. I quickly went for a long warm shower. I washed my hair and took a bubble bath. Sometimes it feels good to pamper oneself.
I put on a knee-length loose striped dress. It was very comfy. By the time I went downstairs, it was already 11. I saw Dad and Grandad sitting on the sofa.
“Morning…” I said in a cheerful voice.
“Hi… You look very happy today. Is my son the reason behind?” Dad commented as I sat beside him. He is always like this, and I like him that way.
“Yeah!! Maybe…” I said, smiling.
“Good to hear that. Looks like you have grabbed a long night’s sleep. You didn’t come down for breakfast, and even Ansh left with an apple only. I think the midnight treat is responsible.”
I was laughing now. They are the most adorable people I have met.
“Hmm… Even I don’t know. Normally, I get up along with Ansh only.”
“It’s fine, Ahana. You need all the rest, and the baby too needs it. Right?” Grandad said.
I nodded.
But I know deep down that I am hiding something from them, and yeah, from Ansh too. It’s their right to know about it, but then it will have to wait.
“Ahana! You want to tell us something.” Dad said, looking at me.
“Huh!! No… Nothing…”
“Mam… You want to have breakfast?” Sara asked me.
Oh, Sara… I think it’s a bit late for breakfast. I’ll directly have lunch.”
“Okay!! As you say….”
“Ahana….”
“Yes! Grandad…..”
“Well… I was saying that you are already 4 months pregnant, and within a few months, the baby will come, so I suggest that you and Ansh must spend some time together.” He said in the calmest voice.
How I wish to spend some time with him, but I don’t know where this relationship is headed.
“I can speak to him too, I will ask him to take a small vacation.”
“No… Dad. That won’t be necessary. There is a lot of work to do, and since I am also not going to the office, he is burdened. But I will speak to him.”
“Promise….”
“Yay!! Promise….”
I don’t think I will be able to keep this promise, Dad.
