OUR MARRIAGE IS JUST A PIECE OF PAPER : EPISODES 81 – 90
Episode 83
“Trust me, Ansh… Nothing will happen.” She said.
“Go… On buddy. You need to practice too.”
When he said that, I looked at Ahana, and she looked at me. I saw her fading smile. But still, she composed herself. She placed the baby gently in my hand, and surprisingly, it fitted perfectly. It cooed a bit and then settled down.
Looking at him made me feel like it’s really beautiful to have kids. But I don’t think I will even have a chance to hold mine. Ahana’s hand was still supporting mine so that it’s assured that the baby is safe. I kissed him gently on the forehead.
He was very adorable indeed.
Then the nurse came and took him inside to Piya.
“I think it’s time for him to have his food.” Ahana said. How well she knows about babies.
“Ansh… Thanks for bringing all this.” Mir said.
“Stop it bud. I brought it for my champ.”
“I’ll go inside and see if Piya needs anything. I’ll call you in a moment. Anyways, her parents are too on their way here.”
Saying so, he went into the room.
“Hana… You’ll have coffee?” Jaai asked. She nodded.
“And you, Ansh?”
“No, thanks.” I replied. I wasn’t in the mood to drink or eat anything. I was satisfied seeing the baby.
“I’ll be back.” Jaai too left, leaving Ahana and me alone once again.
“Ansh… Isn’t he cute?” She said, smiling.
” Yeah… He is….” I said, returning the smile.
” Ahana…. Why didn’t you wake me?”
” You were sleeping. I thought I shouldn’t disturb you. So…”
” So… You can call Jaai but not your husband.”
” How do you know I called him?”
Oh!! No!!!….
” I have eyes, not buttons Ahana… I saw him here.” I avoided a trap.
” But…… ”
” But… You thought that husband is so irresponsible that he’ll not come with you. They are my best friends Ahana. I can’t do that to them. ”
” Okay… Fine… Sorry. Please don’t fight now. ”
Saying so, she sat in the chair beside. I could see that she was tired. Jaai came with the coffee, and they drank in silence.
The entire morning followed with relatives coming and wishing the couple. Dad, Grandad, Mom, Ahana’s Dad, and Grandpa too came, bringing a lot of gifts with them.
Finally, in the evening, we returned home. Ahana looked so tired that as soon as she went inside the room, she fell on the bed and slept. The doctor was going to discharge Piya the next day.
” Ahana… Aren’t you hungry?”
” No… I am not….”
” But… It’s not good for the baby.”
But I don’t think she heard what I said. She was already sleeping.
I changed and went to the kitchen to see what was there to eat. I served the plate and went to the room. I also had some fruits cut along with the dinner.
” Ahana…. Get up. Quick. Have your dinner.”
” I am not hungry. You can have it yourself. Please.”
” Please Ahana…. Have some fruits at least. Not for yourself, but for the baby. It surely must be hungry.”
She opened her eyes slowly, and I think she was considering my request. Then she got up and held the plate of fruits in her hand and gave me the other one.
” You start, and I’ll continue.”
She was an adamant person, so I began eating, and then she followed. I was glad that she completed the entire thing.
After dinner, she changed and hopped on the bed, drifting to sleep again.
I went to the study. There was a lot of pending work to do. I had asked Jen to email me Ahana’s as well as my work. Now Ahana would need more rest, and hence it’s better that I complete her work as well.
A lot of assignments needed my approval, and some needed Ahana’s. I’ll take her sign tomorrow morning.
I slept in the study only. I didn’t realize I slept with my laptop on. The sun rays penetrated my eyes. When I got up, I saw a cup of coffee beside me. It was still hot, and I could see the vapors from it.
I had a sip, and it was made by Ahana, no doubt in that. I went to the dining and saw Dad and Grandad already at the breakfast table. But Ahana was nowhere to be seen.
” Where’s Ahana?” I asked.
” She already left for the office. She said a lot of work needed her approval, and since yesterday she couldn’t go, she left early, preparing us the coffee.” Dad said.
” But…. Okay.. Fine. I’ll leave too.” I said, quickly completing my coffee. But why did she go? Wasn’t she supposed to rest?
” Ansh…. Breakfast…. ”
” Later…. Grandad… ” I said, running towards the room.
” God!! Help these kids. They are always running.
“Give them strength.”
“Thanks, Grandad,” I said aloud, hearing him speaking. I quickly took a shower, put on a suit, and hurried to work. As I reached the parking lot, I noticed Jaai’s car parked next to Ahana’s.
So, this person must be the main reason Ahana came early to the office. I swiftly made my way through the elevator.
“Jen, where is Ahana?”
“She’s in her cabin, sir. She had a meeting with Jaai, sir.”
I walked through the corridors, and I could see Jaai sitting on the edge of Ahana’s desk with the blinds open.
