[Alia’s POV]
Despite my head banging against my skull, I kept my face buried inside the warm blanket, fingers scrolling through my phone furiously.
I didn’t want to know what was happening outside.
Weather in Mumbai wasn’t exactly appealing and it added more misery to my heart pounding way too loud for my own liking.
The whole blanket covering did little to hide my trembling heart. My husband sitting right across me on our couch was going through a similar if not greater turmoil. But I was not going to show him how much it affected me as well.
In my head I counted till 50. Taking a large intake of breath each time to calm myself.
This was the hardest and most complicated phase of our marriage.
Everything felt like a huge puddle of confusion.
“Done! Alia, now check …”
Ranbir’s shaky voice poked me in the face. I wanted to kick him in the ass for making such a big deal out of this situation. I mean it is indeed a big deal but he made us both look like scared cats.
I pulled myself out of the blanket to see his face.
He was already looking to see my reaction. If I were in a better position myself, this would have made for a happy laughter. But not today.
He looked like he had just watched Conjuring! And would not dare to sleep at night.
He pointed towards the bathroom door attached to our bedroom. I grunted my teeth and threw a nearest cushion at him!
“I told you to stay calm. Stop making a huge fuss about this!”
He mewled for a while but then composed himself and stood up along with me.
“Okay baby come here. I promise I won’t keep my hopes high. Everything will be fine. We stay chill, cool ?”
Whoever gave him the National Award recently would have loved to take it back this instant! He was pathetic at what he just did.
I combed my hair with my fingers and made a messy bun. Then I walked towards my destination with confident steps.
Duh, I am Mrs Alia Bhatt Kapoor!
You don’t get to mess with me. Not even ….
As soon as I walked inside the wash space, my eyes landed on something that seemed to tease me profusely.
I closed the door behind me just in case he decides to peek, which he would anyhow.
After bolting the door, I kept my arms on the wall and stared at the strip.
It could make or break our mood.
I wouldn’t have thought of this had it not been for a conversation with Ranbir some hours before. For a week I felt exhausted and dead. Nothing could refresh me, not even my dearest pets. Or the face of my man.
I longed to head back home after shooting, something I rarely felt. No parties, no functions. Just wanted to snuggle with my toy cushion and sleep all day.
And then it clicked me that I had missed my periods for two months.
That was again rare.
Ranbir had noticed my awful mood swings as well. He nudged me to open up. I casually told him all that I felt in the last one month over a cup of hot chocolate.
His eyes bawled for a second as he went back to his phone, madly searching for something. He then fumbled to find a notebook from the drawer beside. After flipping through some pages, he read its content with deep concentration.
Meanwhile I stared at him with a funny look.
I happened to be one of the luckiest few to witness how weird and funny Ranbir Kapoor was in private. He had a whole different bone in him that just had to be very humorous and quirky.
On the outside he is this shy, soft spoken, intelligent gentleman but to me he is my cutest cuddly bear. Who also happens to give the most warmest hug in the world and loved to tickle me with kisses.
Okay I won’t make you singles feel more terrible!
It was him who came with this idea that I could be pregnant!
I threw him a scary look and ignored his sparkling eyes.
There has been absolutely no one more excited to welcome a child than him! He is a total baby obsessed human. I have seen him going all aww around kids, secretly wishing to have his own some day. He even had the audacity to say that on a television interview, the same year he confessed our relationship!
It warmed as well as scared me to the ends!
I know I want kids of our own some day. But it is a responsibility indeed. I wasn’t sure if I could take it right now.
But right now seems perfect enough.
We just celebrated two years of our marriage. And I could already feel curious eyes gazing us, particularly me. Mom and Dad already have begun giving me funny hints every time they spot a child or Sam around us.
No it never made me frustrated. It did gave me a good laugh but that was just about it.
But right now staring at this strip made me feel a cold tingle creep at my spine.
A feeling I’ve never known overwhelmed my senses.
I couldn’t move nor make a sound. I could hear Ranbir’s foot making restless noise outside the door.
I left a huge breath and closed my eyes.
With a soft crash I sat down on the cold floor with my head buried between my legs.
This was the hardest and longest night of our lives and we endured it.
Luck was on our side and we won!
Yes, I was pregnant !!!
All my pent up frustration, irritation of the days that had gone by, and this new found surreal emotion came crashing down all at once. I wept silently rocking myself.
Ranbir must have heard me and thus he banged on the door.
“Aliaaa ! Open the door!”
I quickly wiped my tears and cleaned my face. And I came out like nothing happened.
I walked past a scared to death Ranbir and sat on the edge of our bed with a normal face, as if nothing happened.
He rushed towards my side and kneeled next to me.
I smiled at him.
“I heard you crying … sab theek hai ? What’s wrong love ..?’ His puppy eyes made me smile even more wider.
Analyzing my normal behavior, he sat back with a weird look.
“Why are you behaving casual ? Are we not-"
“Promise me you won’t make a ruckus if we are not.”
He nodded his head quickly and held my hand. “Tell me quick.”
“This won’t change who we are, right ?” I asked palming his face in mine.
He nodded again in daze.
I kissed his forehead gently and looked right into his eyes.
“Promise me you won’t take million pictures of us”
“That you won’t be hovering over me all the time”
“And you can’t pretend like you know everything about this-"
“Tell me the result!!!” he interrupted.
I held his hand and kept it on my tummy. And knocked his head lightly.
“Mr Buddhu you better start packing your bags. Cause somebody else will take your spot from now.”
His eyes widened to the max before it landed on my flat stomach. I think I saw him gulp and try processing what I just said.
“Congratulations daddy! You got your wish fulfilled.”
His head snapped at me and I saw him tearing up. And just like it always managed to melt my heart even in the days of my fangirling period, I was even more carried away by the fact that those eyes were filled to the brim because of me.
I was the reason of him crying with joy. Our baby was the reason.
He engulfed me in his arms as we cradled each other and cried together.
This was our moment. Our night.
I haven’t seen Ranbir be swept this way with emotions before, except for the time when we got married. He barely cried in front of us but tonight was different. These were tears of joy. Joy of hearing what we’ve been dying to hear.
My world was complete.
The sky played a light lullaby as a breeze caressed our faces.
We were soon going to be three. I looked up at the sky through our window and silently thanked the stars above. For blessing us with one of its light.
Our little star.
NOTE : Hey babies, good to have y’all back again <3
Ik I am not that regular like before. But this wattpad issue is really a nuisance and I still haven’t logged back into this acc thru my PC! So you get how crazy it is to write first on pc and then transfer to my phone and then upload from there onwards.
Well the wedding speculations have brought me back to fc life and wattpad ;)
Some say December, others around next year mid …!
I am rooting for any day as long as it comes sooner, grander and beyond all our fkin expectations!! I want to thoroughly enjoy the wedding of MY BABIES, hopefully be free by then and have the coolest time of my life as I have waited for this day more than Bir :p
So as part of these exciting days, I and a dear Fc friend have decided to do a special Wedding project for our AlooBir. A gift from our side, Ranlians and myself <3 Exclusive for Y’ALL! That is those who have been following me from the beginning, seen the whole fc journey and are currently part of my life via FROS and ranbir_aliafc on ig! I didn’t publicize this on Twitter or any other account except for my Fc and in here.
This is a very private plan and thus I want it to be limited. All you have to do is if you are willing to participate, just send me the following via DM ON MY IG (ranbir_aliafc /gemtheysay) or wattpad dm :
- 3-4 lines of wedding wish for Ranbir Alia. Crisp and beautiful. To the point.
- Summarize your journey with RanbirAliaFc and myself in general into a single or two paragraphs (optional).
Sent these to me by this month end coz we will begin compiling everything by December and begin editing. Idk if they’ll marry by dec or after. Whatever be the date, we want to be prepared and be done with this beforehand itself. I will try my best to send this to them (idk how but I will !) so wish me luck <3
And oh, here’s our not so shy anymore aloo doing regular girlfriend things on ig ;)
Swear this was a crazier shock than a wedding post xD !!!
Love and light to y’all ,
