The Only String Attached

"Mahir I'm fine..really,I just skipped my breakfast..maybe that's why.I'm really fine",I said helding his hand.

"OK come,let's have lunch now.Come",Mahir said kissing my forehead.

Mahir was feeding me with uttermost care and Mahira was sitting holding my water glass.

"Mahir..I can eat myself,you also eat",I said wiping my lips.

"That's fine,I can see that.Now eat like a good girl",he said feeding me and Mahira was laughing looking at us.

We had our lunch and Mahir was playing with Mahira in our room.I was thinking to take my pregnancy test.I blacked out again today.It's not the first time,I blacked out two days before also.

I need to check myself,but what if I'm really?How would Mahir react?Will he be happy or sad?

"Mahir..you take Mahira and go to the park today.I told her I will take her out yesterday,but I couldn't.Please go to park with her today",I asked him.

"OK we will go,get ready",Mahir said getting up.

"No..I mean you and Mahira go.I want to rest for sometime",I said.

"OK,we both will go.But you take care,OK"?he said kissing my forehead.

I nodded with a bright smile.Mahir and Mahira,both went to the park.And my hands were shivering.

I need to take the test.I opened the drawer and took out three pregnancy test kits.

I was waiting for the results,my palms were sweating and I could hear my own heartbeat.

I saw two pink lines on all the three kits..that means...I...I am pregnant?

I'm pregnant?

Yes,I am pregnant...I..I'm carrying his child inside me...we are pregnant!!!

I sobbed looking at those kits,covering my mouth with my hands..I can't believe it..me and Mahir are going to have another child...Mahira is going to be a sister...I'm pregnant!!!

I just can't believe it...me carrying his flesh and blood..his replica..oh god...I'm pregnant with his child.He is going to be father of our child..my Mahir is going to be a father again!!

But..will he be happy about this?We never spoke about it..we never planned anything..I don't know what to do now.

I called Mahir and told that I'm going out on an emergency.He was reluctant to agree at first but then he agreed eventually.

I kept one of the kit in one cover and hid it safely in a drawer.I rushed to Polo aunty's clinic and gave my test.Since she was our family friend,I got my reports within thirty minutes.

It's confirmed...it's positive..I'm really pregnant.My happiness knew no bounds today.A life is breathing inside me..mine and Mahir's life.

I need to tell him...I have to tell him!!

MAHIR

I was scared to shit when I saw her blacked out.She just scared the shit out of me.I told her that we will go to clinic,but being the stubborn girl she is,she denied.

I was playing with Mahira in the park and Mahira was literally jumping in that sand.

"Mahira no..",I shouted when she threw a fistful sand on another boy and that boy started crying.

God Mahira!!!

"See we are so sorry..my brat is a bit naughty..I'm sorry from her",I was pleading that boy's mother.
