Episode 112
“Ahana! C’mon now. We are even now. My wife is pregnant, and I want to know everything about what happens during this time. I want to take care of you,” I said, making a genuine expression.
“Really?”
“Yup! And aren’t you happy about it? But, YOU tell me why didn’t you inform me about the twins?”
She didn’t answer promptly. Probably she was gathering what to say.
“Fine! I am sorry. I accept it. I should have told you. I should have informed everyone in the family. But because of you, I didn’t do it.”
“ME?”
“Yes! I thought you didn’t want the baby. You never accompanied me to the doctor. You never asked me anything, so I thought… I will let you go. I have given up on you. I don’t want my babies?”
She averted my gaze. It’s my mistake, and I am aware of it. I quickly grabbed her hands, and we sat on the bed.
“Ahana! Look… I am really sorry. I am sorry that I wasn’t there with you when you needed me. I acted like an immature jerk. But I always wanted the baby. It’s the best thing that has happened. Right?”
She looked into my eyes, and they met. Her beautiful pearls. A few tears dropped down. I cleaned them with my thumb.
“I am very happy, and I want you to be happy. You need to take care of yourself. Here, quickly finish this off,” I handed her the plate.
“You too…” She said.
I also have something else to tell Ahana. But it can wait for some time. It will require a perfect time. Not now.
“Ansh! Do you need to tell me anything?”
“Ah! Well, yes… But it can wait for now.”

After dinner, we sat in our room. We didn’t speak anything.
“Ahana, you must pack your bags,” I said finally as we prepared to sleep.
Nowadays, I don’t miss a chance of not sleeping beside her. I experience the best sleep beside her. It’s the best time.
She looked surprised at me. ” Why and Where?”
” We are going to Maldives. ”
” What? Are you serious? ”
” Yes!! Here, do you know this person?” I showed her the picture I found this morning.
Trust Me, Today was the most Eventful in my life.
” God!!! Of course…….. Are you serious?”
” Yes I am….. We will talk about this tomorrow in the office. Now, sleep….. ” I said placing her head on the pillow. She closed her eyes and I switched the lights off.
She looked very happy today… And I was glad I could make her smile.

I wasn’t able to sleep. I had many things going on in my mind. What the doctor said today was pestering me constantly.
I woke up and it was 2 am. Ahana was fast asleep. I got up and went to the gym. It was my method to calm my mind. A stress relief exercise.

AHANA’S POV
I was desperately thirsty. When I woke up I saw the place beside me empty. It was 2:20 am.
Where did Ansh go at this hour. I got down from the bed and drank a glass of water. I saw the lights coming from the gym.
I went there and I saw him.
Ansh!!!
He was only in his white vest and sweat pants doing the push ups. I could see that although the AC was on, he was sweating profusely.
His abs and perfectly toned and muscular arms made him look more handsome.
I surely have a fit and workaholic husband. I don’t think he noticed my presence. I sat down on the nearby couch.
” Drooling over me, are we?”
” God!! Ansh… You scared me.”
” I already knew you were here. I know your smell.” He said getting up and taking the water bottle from me.
I could see his chiselled abs even through the vest. Lately I wasn’t working out because of pregnancy but I missed it.
” Handsome?? Right?? ” he said smiling.
” Whatever….. I never said that… But are you not feeling sleepy? ”
” No…. I wasn’t able to. But why are you here. You should get all the sleep….”
” Hmmm… I was sleeping but then I felt thirsty. I saw the lights on so came to check.”
” Hmmmmmm….. So… Go and sleep now…. ”
” I don’t want to. I am already bored. I want to go for a walk. I didn’t go anywhere since a long time. ”
” Now?? ” He asked pretty much surprised.
” Yeah!! Anyways I don’t think I will be able to sleep now. It’s already 3 am. We can go to the beach. ”
” At this hour….. ”
” Yes!!! I want to go. Are you coming or not? ” I said standing up.
” Yes!! I am. You surely aren’t going alone. I will change and so you too.”

At around 3:45 in the early morning we set out. Everyone was fast asleep. I was in a long loose pants and t-shirt, while Ansh was also in his casuals.
He held my hand and together we started heading towards the sea. Our house was about 10 minutes walk away form the beach. The entire road was deserted and we could only hear a few birds chirping.
” So… What did Mrs. Bhatt tell you? I saw in my logs that she called me in the morning and you spoke to her and hence you went to see her.”
” Hmmm… Quiet a Sherlock Holmes. She said that you need to be stress free and happy.” I nodded.
We reached the beach. I pulled him a bit towards the water. The cool breeze making my hair sway. The half moon looking brighter than before.
I sat down on the sand.
” Ansh!! Sit….. ” I said pulling his hand.
” Here!!! ” He exclaimed motioning towards the sand.
” So what? Didn’t you ever play in the sand when you were a kid? Jaai and I used to play a lot. It was the best thing that we did in our childhood.”
Ansh finally sat down making faces.
” I thought we were going on a walk. Anyways what about Zara? You never spoke anything about her. ”
” Yay!! She was the most talkative as well as the most introvert person among the three if us.
She used to just look at me and Jaai playing. Initially, during our high school she even thought that there something going on between us. ”
” Really??? ”
” C’mon… Don’t act so much surprised. Even you thought the same thing. Jaai and I were friends since childhood and then I became friends with Zara. And then gradually the two turned out to be closer. ”
” Hmmm…. But it feels good here. Calm and serene…. ”
” I know…. ” Ansh stretched his hands behind and I don’t know why I moved a bit closer to him.
He wrapped one of his hand around my waist and I rested my head on his chest. It was cool since it was still the month of February. The waves hitting the shore and retreating was a treat to eyes.
Their soothing noise making the atmosphere stress free.
We didn’t speak anything, just letting the breeze engulf us and Enjoying the atmosphere.
I closed my eyes and I think even Ansh did the same thing.
When I opened my eyes I realised that the sun was about to rise and the beach was filled with many enthusiastic joggers. I realised that I was sleeping with my head on Ansh’s chest and his hand around my waist.
One of his hand was below his head, obviously supporting us. I looked at him. He looked so peaceful as always. His perfect messy hair and long beautiful eyes lashes.
Like Seriously, we slept on the beach.
And most importantly Ansh Raichand, of all the people who never left his luxury was with me sleeping on the sand.
The faint sun rays on the horizon made the view look more beautiful. I wish I had brought my phone. It would have been a perfect picture. I moved my hand on his hair and that was enough to wake him.
” Drooling, over me again…. Are we? You can kiss me if you want. ” He pouted.
” Whatever…. NO!! C’mon now… Get up… It’s already morning….”
” I can’t believe it Ahana… That you made me sleep on the beach itself…”
” Wasn’t it fun….” I said resting my hands on his chest.
” Well…. Yeah!!! It was so… Calm. ”
” Good…. Now Get Up. Let’s go home. I am starving already. ” I said trying to get up but then my feet got stuck behind the sand and I was about to trip when Ansh grabbed me. Again.
” Hey! Careful…..” He said putting my fallen hair behind my ears.
I straighten my t-shirt and wore my sandals. Then I saw a man selling coffee on a cycle with Muska Bun ( Bread and Butter with Jam.)
” Ansh!! Let’s have that…”
” No… We aren’t. It’s not hygienic. We are going home and having the breakfast.”
” No… We are having that. I love it.”
” Ahana!!!”
I didn’t hear any of those. I had it to my fill and even parcelled it for Dad and Grandad despite Ansh’s repeated protests.
