3 years later: Nandini's pov:
Being a mom is definitely difficult, especially to twins who just can't stop with their naughtiness. Yes, after that night, everything changed.
Manik and I became very close after breaking the final barrier. We became one in all sense mind and body. In this 3 years, we traveled a lot and explored lots of cuisines. In fact, we fulfilled each other's bucket list. Life went on good for a year but after that, our family starting nudging us for children.
We both decided to have children only when we were ready but the family nudging made it worst. We had regular fights regarding that issue.
Flashback:
"Manik, my parents are asking for a child. I told them we are not ready and they are pressuring me" I said and Manik had the same reaction as me. We both were blank. We wanted to travel more, explore more but with this constant demand for child is worsening us.
"Nandini, didn't we decide to have a child after an year. Why can't you just tell them?" Manik questioned really annoyed. If it were for the first time, he would have answered in a calm manner but this is probably the 10th time, they were discussing about the kid.
"Don't you think I told them? And why the hell are you shouting at me? I am in the same boat as you. Stop shouting at me" I screamed in the same voice as him and it worsened the situation. Manik cornered me to the wall and stared at me in an intense manner. I couldn't take it anymore. I just broke down crying. First the family pressure and then this Manik, who is not at all understanding. Probably, after seeing my tears, Manik calmed down. He made me seat on the couch and held my hands.
"Habibti, relax okay. You need not feel pressurized. It's okay. Let our parents say anything. We are going to parent our child and not them. We have to be ready because parenting is not simple. It must not be forced. We must be ready mentally. Just calm down" he said with lot of sincerity in his eyes. I hugged him and both of us were in peace in each other's arms.
That's what happened everytime someone triggered me with baby.
After 6 months, we decided to have a baby hence we started doing it without protection. I am stupid. I get upset everytime when my periods get delayed and I test negative. That happened for consecutive 4 months. I lost my hopes.
I was dull and when Manik enquired me, I didn't know what to tell. I again cried.
"Manik, this is the fourth time I am testing negative. I am losing hope Manik" I finally cried in his arms.
"Nandini, just calm down okay. There are couples who try for years together. We are young and we have just now started. And Nandini, tell me one thing, when is the last time we got intimate without the thought of having baby? We must wait Nandini. We must have s*x without any expectations" he said and that was when I realized, whatever he told is true. We always had intercourse with the main objective of impregnating me.
We stopped that thought and 2 months, I tested positive. I was on cloud nine. Despite being a gynecologist, I didn't know how it feels to have a baby inside me. Of course, I will not know until I become pregnant.
I wanted it to be special for Manik and hence I shopped for small shoes, cute baby dresses and small small items. I put them in a box and I also handcrafted a card that read dad and struck it underneath.
Manik opened it and he was shocked, surprised and what not? He symbolically asked Really? I frantically nodded my head and he immediately lifted me, swirling me all around. From that moment on, our life changed. He became extremely protective of me and our baby. When we realised, we were having twins, we just had happy tears. It was like a dream come true moment for us. Then, on 31st May, our prince and princess both came out looking like a God's gift.
Our princess, Manya, has looks exactly like Manik with brown orbs and black hair.
Our prince Manav has looks similar to me. He has black orbs and jet black hair. They might be twins but not identical ones. Of course, they had similarities like crying at the same time, peeing at the same time, and feeling hungry at the same time.
Our princess, loves being with her father and our prince of course with me.
End of flashback
My thoughts were of course broken by the cries of our babies. Before I could even reach them, Manik calmed down both of them and both went to sleep. I couldn't ask for more.
A loving husband, caring father everything is him. He had the patience that I didn't have. I have the tolerance that he didn't have. We complete each other. I hugged him and lay my head on his shoulder. We both looked at our baby, already planning million of things for them, in our head.
Screen freezes with a happy family.
