Rooh (Book 2 - Singhania Brothers)

Part 30 (I)

Ashi looked at the reports in her hands and sighed. She had been putting up too many hopes when her doctor had told her about the probability. But the reports were negative. She shook her head to herself with a small smile as she put the reports back in the envelope. It wasn't that she or Arnav was in any kind of hurry, but the possibility had filled her heart with joy. Until that moment, she hadn't realised that she was ready to embrace the phase of motherhood.

Pushing her thoughts aside, she stood up and walked out of her room. As soon as she descended down the stairs, her eyes lit up in surprise when she saw the hall filled with bunches of her favourite pink roses. She picked one of them and smiled. Before she could think further, she was dragged by a bouncing Aryan to the hall. Aryan didn't give her any chance to protest and made her sit in the center of sofa. She looked on perplexed as Ayaansh got his guitar and winked at her before his voice took over.

Ho Oo OO Ooo..

Meri Duniya, Meri Duniya ,Meri Duniya Tu Hi Ve
Meri Khushiya,Meri Khushiya,Meri Khushiya Tu Hi Ve

Meri Duniya ,Meri Duniya ,Meri Duniya Tu Hi Ve
Meri Khushiya,Meri Khushiya,Meri Khushiya Tu Hi Ve

Ashi smiled. Ayaansh's voice was that one magic trick that worked on all of them without fail. She didn't know what made the boys so cheerful, but she was glad for the change in her home's atmosphere. The house was filled with the echo of her enchanting laughter as Aryan pulled her up and twirled her around. The song was asking for it.

Raat Din Tere Liye Sajde Karu Duyaien Maangu Re
Mein Yahan Appne Liye Rab Se Teri Balaein Mangu Re

Ho Oo OO Ooo..

Ayaansh kneeled down and offered her another bouqet of roses with a charming smile on his face. Ashi smiled heartily as she took it from him. Ayaansh stood up and kissed her forehead softly before he started singing again.

Tune Hi Jeena Sikhaya
Humlogo Ko Accha Inshan Banaya

Zindagi Hai Tera Saaya
Anjanao Ko Seedha Rasta Deekhaya

Tu Nai Ek Roshni Le Aai Hai
Jeevan Ki Raahon Mein
Har Ghadi Guzre Teri
Saari Umar Abb Apne Baahon Mein

Ho Oo OO Ooo..

Ashi's eyes misted as her gaze met Ayaansh's. Those weren't the lyrics of song, those were Ayaansh's feelings that he was conveying with so much of love.

Meri Duniya ,Meri Duniya ,Meri Duniya Tu Hi Ve
Meri Khushiya,Meri Khushiya,Meri Khushiya Tu Hi Ve

Raat Din Tere Liye Sajde Karu Duyaien Maangu Re
Mein Yahan Appne Liye Rab Se Teri Balaein Mangu Re

The boys took turns to dance with her and she laughed her heart out alongwith them. The happiness on their faces was contagious. Her heart warmed up like nothing else at the love they showered upon her.

Ayaansh kept the guitar down and hugged Ashi tightly. Ashi embraced him back, but she was taken aback by the shift of emotions in him.

"Ayu,"

"Happy Mother's day, Bhabhi!" Ayaansh whispered, his voice laced with so many emotions. In last eighteen years of his life, he had never wished it to anyone and neither thought he would do so in future. Last year, he had seen Aryan wishing Ashi. He had stood afar and observed them longingly. He loved Ashi even then, but he wasn't ready to offer her that kind of acknowledgement yet.
