After a fifteen day honeymoon, both Sahir and Zaara were all ready to join the hospital.
"Sahir hatein...mujhe jaldi pahuchna hai..aapka kya hai" Zaara pushed aside Sahir and started tying her hair in a high pony tail
"Gazab beizzati hai" Sahir muttered and started setting his hair from behind
"Mai nikal rahi hun" Zaara picked up her bag and was about to open the door when Sahir stopped her "Mere sath kyun nahin chal rahi tum"
"Aapne hi kaha tha professional life alag personal life alag"
"Arre iska ye matlab ye thode na ki tum mujhe pehchanna hi band kar do hospital me" Sahir frowned
"Aao idhar baitho"
"Mujhe late ho raha hai...mai thoda slow drive karti hun...aur phir aap mujhe night duty par laga denge" She pouted and Sahir just laughed
"Haan..hasein..phir raat me akele sona padega"
And this made Sahir alert..."Chalo chalo..mai chhod de raha hun"
They were on their way when Sahir thought of clearing some confusions
"Zaara"
"Ji"
"Tumhe bahut gussa aata hai jab mai tumhe daant ta hun hospital me.."
"Hmm pehle pehle aata tha but jab se aapki baat par gaur karna shuru kiya...toh laga aap sahi kehte hain.....medical field me carelessness matlab disaster"
"Hmmm...aur mai isliye bhi professional conduct ki baat bolta hun kyunki .. aaj ya kal me sabhi ko pata chalna hi hai about our relationship......toh tum par koi ungali naa uthaaye ki Dr Shah gives his wife liberties or gives her good score despite shortcomings. As a mentor, mujhe sab ke sath aisa rehna hai....agar mai tumhare sath lenient ho gaya toh will it be fair to the other interns......"
"No" Zaara was now understanding his behaviour
"Toh finally samajh me aa gayi baat"
"Ji...mai samajh chuki hun hospital me mujhe daatna aap kabhi nahin chhodenge...." Zaara smiled mischievously and then added "I better change my hospital during Masters"
"Tum jahaan jahaan chaloge..mera saaya saath hoga" Sahir sang making Zaara shut her ears "Sahir .. stop it..heights hoti hai besure hone ki"
"Your husband sees beyond boundaries baby.."
"Huh" Zaara shook her head and started going through her notes.
===================
"Congrats Mrs. Sahir Shah" Hina and other interns congratulated Zaara as she joined them on the lunch.
"Thank you guys"
"Aur chhupi rustam...kaano kaan tak khabar tak nahin lagne di" Hina teased "Is it a love marriage"
"No..." Zara's eyes widened
"My mother and his aunt are friends ...His aunt came up with the rishta even before I joined here as an intern"
"Oh....so how is life with Mr Boring"
"He is not that boring"
"He is anything but boring" Zaara's inner self chuckled
"Matlab ghar par tanashahi nahin karte" Hina frowned
"Nahin...wahaan unpar taanashahi chalti hai" Zaara giggled "He is the youngest in his generation...."
"Yaar hume treat chahiye"
"Wo Sahir keh" Zaara was cutoff midway with a hooting
"Sahir..oho"
"Ho gaya..ab suno...wo keh rahe the ki next week humaari matlab tumlogo ki internship khatm ho jayegi unke under....toh wo ek party rakhenge tumlogon ke liye"
"Karela itna bura nahin hai" came out of Hina's mouth
"Waise aapki internship toh extend hogi unke under....humne to Substitute ke under nikaal liye dhai hafte"
"Lucky you " Zaara whined
"Don't worry...Biwi hone par kuch toh riyayat milegi"
"Bilkul nahin....ulta kahin aur strict na ho jaayein" Zaara puffed her cheeks
"Koi na behen..dukh baat lena humaare sath...ya phir unke sath hi baatna hai ghar jaa kar" Hina winked
"Stop it" Zaara hit her shoulder but a constant smile was there on her face.
=====================
Days were passing by and with time Sahir-Zaara bond was also strengthening.
They had thought of planning a baby after Zaara's Masters because Zaara was like "I cannot handle two babies this early..give me some time"
By the second baby, she meant Sahir who true to his name had now turned her Bachcha too. His nakhre...uff!
It had now been four years to their marriage and right now Sahir was moving to and fro in the hospital corridor..."Arre itni der thode hi lagti hai"
"Kiddo.. you yourself are a doctor..don't create a scene" Shahmir reprimanded his younger brother who was nowhere close to being identified as a doctor.
"Par bhai...they are taking too much time...mujhe allow nahin kiya nahin toh mai apne bachche ko abhi khaana khila raha hota" Sahir had turned berserk...so everybody just ignored his comment.
With some more minutes of cursing and blabbering, he saw the nurse come out with a baby and he ran ...... taking the baby he asked "How is Zaara?"
"Ma'am theek hain Sir..she is resting...she has met the baby" The nurse smiled seeing Dr Sahir Shar in tears...he was the not the same doctor who rarely used to show any emotions in the hospital.
"Ammi...Abbu...Bhai...look at my prince" He moved towards his family who was in the same state as his
"Hello...my Kiddo's Kiddo" Shahmir cooed the baby boy who was a replica of his father.
"Baba...show us the baby" Zain said to which Sahir picked him and Abeer in his arms and let them have a peak of their littlest brother
"He is so....."
"So"
"White" Abeer finished her sentence making everybody laugh
"Are you happy?" Shahmir asked his tiny tots who bobbed their head in a Yes
"Baba...We will name him Rabbit because is red and white"
Sahir facepalmed himself as Zain took revenge from his Chachu for keeping his mother's name Rabby.
Shahmir laughed and gave Sahir his Kiddo who was ready for his first feed.
"He is so cute " Zaara couldn't get enough of her son and kept kissing his toes as she fed him
"I know..he is mini me" Sahir grinned and kissed his baby's fingers
"But Jaani....don't you dare forget your first bachcha"
Zaara shook her head at her husband's shenanigans ... he was obsessed with getting himself pampered.
============================
A year later, everybody was busy preparing for the new Laadla's first birthday....it has been a year since Sahir Shah lost the coveted title of the Laadla of the house to his son and he still had grudges. He just lost all the rights in a click.
"Zaara...ye dekho na kab se roye jaa raha hai" Sahir tried to calm his son down as he kept crying his lungs out
"Arre kya ho gaya..mere baby ko" Zaara came and took little Kabir in her arms
"Kuch der pehle toh hans raha tha...pata nahin achanak se kya ho gaya" Sahir was clueless as to why his son was being cranky all of a sudden
Zaara frowned but one look at Sahir's face and an empty bowl on the table, she got it all
"Sahir...aap apne bete ka cerelac khaa gaye" she couldn't believe this manchild of hers.
"Nahi toh"
Zaara wiped the remnants off his lips and showed her finger glaring at him
"Ye sab match ki galti hai I swear........aur ek toh iske cerelac ka taste..I just love it" Sahir licked his lips but sensing his doom had the courtesy to look embarrassed
"I am sorry betu...come to Baba..I will make your your favourite omelette" He tried to win his son back and after receiving many scowls, he finally succeeded.
"Sahir...ise taiyyar bhi kar dijiyega party ke liye"
"Ji Begumjaan"
Sahir first made his son the promised meal and then gave him a bath. Needless to say, both the kids enjoyed a lot in water.
After a short nap, Little Kabir was dressed in a dungaree which made him look too adorable.
"Happy Birthday Rubbu.." Zain, Abeer and Rahil surrounded him and kept making noises to entertain him. Even after several brain washing techniques, Sahir couldn't stop Zain from naming his son Rubbu....which according to him meant cute rabbit.
Soon the guests started arriving and finally it was the time for cake cutting. Unlike other babies, Kabir was on energy level 10 seeing the cake. His parents held his hand for cutting the cake but in over excitement to eat it, he dove his face inside and when his parents pulled his head up, everybody started clapping "Happy Birthday to you......". His face was also smothered with the cream and he was squealing.
And Sahir was weirdly proud of his son on breaking the conventional way of cutting a birthday cake.
What to say...Kiddo's Kiddo was a rockstar in the making !!!!!
