Note: long chapter ahead
Can't thank you enough for making this journey reach 200k
This couldn't be possible without you sweetymua Yours_Nidhi its_chahat_here
A birthday treat for you Pearl_lucky_3
Happy birthday ra❤
And for the special reader sesbhagya who adores Arjun Sona❤...hope you'll like it...
Arjun's POV:
Hey, my dear lovelies...I know you all missed me so much and trust me I too missed you a lot but unfortunately, I can't confess it...
Reason??
You know about my super possessive wife right??
And you also know about her sweet and cute innocent Angry Bird who follows her every word like a lost puppy...
And anyhow why make it verbal when I have loads of love for my lovely sisters in my heart🤭
Hushhh jokes apart...
You guys are always close to my heart as I know you too adore Mr. and Mrs. Angry Bird to the core and are eagerly waiting for the junior Angry Bird
And my daughter being my blood is the naughtiest baby I have ever seen and will ever see...she surpasses her father when it comes to teasing my Jasmine and my poor Jasmine pity herself as she has no one in her team and keeps babbling 'Let my baby prince come...he'll take all my revenge from the senior and junior Angry Bird'
Whenever I keep my palm on her bump and recite my stories Aarna kicks and when Sona replaces my hand Aarna stops kicking as if she says 'Maa I am Dadda's angel...not yours' and Sona taunts "Father like daughter"
But when my Jaana pouts with those words I just shamelessly capture her peach lips with a romantic line "My peace resides on your lips Jaana" and then again my blushing rose hides herself in my chest with her most favorite word "Besharam" (Shameless)
Nothing has changed between us...
My kisses and her blushes...
My bold statements and her annoyed yet cute reactions...
My good morning peck to my Jaana and her good night kiss on my head letting me drift off to a peaceful slumber...
Yes, I still sleep on her chest...
Because it's reserved for me and will be the same till eternity as I am my Jaana's first baby...
Even though sometimes I insist on saying it might be uncomfortable for her she just pulls my head into her chest and ruffles my hair ever so softly as always with her affection filled fingers and making me listen to the lullaby of her soft melodious heartbeat she lulls me to sleep like a baby...
Her baby❤
And that feeling every night I get on her chest is just heaven...
But when she is fully dozed off I get back off her chest and slowly relax her head on my shoulder as she loves this way and snuggles with a cute pout again while I softly peck her lips thanking her for healing me
So this way her pampering for the first baby is still the same but then too I shamelessly keep asking her "Jaana will you stop pampering me when Aarna comes??"
Call me cheesy or filmy or crack or any other good name but this is who I am...
The once broken me always wants to get pampered by my Jaana and no matter what I would always keep asking her to pamper me as she always does
And seeing me whine like a kid she cups my face and kissing my forehead she assures "Though we have 12 babies Arjun will remain my first baby and my love for him will never change" that flushes my heart with overwhelming love for her and leaning my forehead against her and I rest my palms on her belly as I confess
"I am incomplete without you"
Me my Jaana and our Aarna❤
What else do I want...
Want to know more about my Jaana and Aarna??
Ok, let's start then...
Jaana's crazy cravings are something that makes me scratch my head but at the same time brings a pleasant smile to my face too...
Though we have every arrangement to prepare her favorite dishes she demands something that comes out of the syllabus and when denied she cries with her emotional blackmailing statement "You don't love me anymore"
And then I have to bend my knees and get what she wants from the special place she says
The places and demands are as follows:
1. The third panipuri stall on the right side of the beach
2. The second last stall on the left side of the food court and ask him to add extra spice to the chilly noodles
3. The last shop at the corner of the street and ask him to add tamarind and chilly powder in the same proportion and make the bhel equally spicy and sour in taste
Once Maa made her favorite stuff karela and she whines "Maa who eats Kadva Karela...I want to eat Paneer Kofta" and that Paneer is something that she hates on this earth
And when Maa passed me a 'now what' look I pecked my wife's lips right in front of everyone saying "Haye my meethe karele let's go to our room I'll serve you what you want" and God knows what my family understood their mouths hanged to the floor while Aaru passed a look to Deepu making that girl hide herself behind Maa
And my wife slapped my shoulder and then dug up her face in my neck saying again "Besharam"
What's wrong with them🙄
I agree they came to know about my not so innocent face but this time I was honest with my words
Poor Arjun😔
And then one more incident where Jaana turned out as a small size thief...
She desperately wanted to eat pani puri right after eating a full bowl of choco browny fudge and I was against it as I knew she would throw up everything but she being stubborn didn't listen at all...
We argued and she left the room throwing the words at me
"You don't love me anymore"
And what she did next left me stunned..
As she knew no one in our house would dare to go against my words she made a call to Rohan and blackmailed him she got her work done from him...
He secretly bought Panipuri for her and begged Mohan Bhaiya to handover it to Bhabhi safely...
Poor Mohan Bhaiya helped his Bhabhi and was successful in passing the bag of pani puri to her...
While I was pacing around in the corridor I found her wearing my hoodie and I was quite confused...
She loves to wear my shirts not hoodies
In that night pants and the hoodie she was taking baby steps towards Aaru and Deepu's room and I caught her
"Jaana??"
Her hand immediately reached her belly and her face turned to me while that 'You don't love me anymore' look kept shooting daggers at me...
I took hopeful steps towards her and taking her face in my palms I kissed her nose "I love you Jaana but I can't see you in pai-
But before I could finish my words one corner of her lips arched that meant 'You don't'
And I just lifted the hoodie to her chest and took out the bag she was hiding under it while her mouth went wide in surprise while I circled my hand around her shoulder "Chalo I'll be your panipuri wala"
I asked Madhavi Didi to get the required utensils and there on the bed was my hungry hyena licking her dry lips...
Stuffing the puris I dipped them in water and kept on serving to my Highness while she royally kept on ordering
"Bhaiya thoda pyaaz dalo"
"Bhaiya aur teekha banao"
Poor Arjun turned a panipuriwala Bhaiya for his Sona...
Once she happily relished all those puris she began yawning but I was tensed as she might throw up...
I made her lie down and began massaging her soles as she slowly snoozed peacefully
I couldn't sleep that whole night thinking she might wake up in the middle of the night and throw up and then would cry...
Yes it had happened a lot of times
Whenever she vomited she would burst out in tears...
Once she ate Dahi vada and ended up emptying her stomach in the washbasin but as always I was always there with her like a shadow...
I palmed her ears till she spits out everything and then rinsing her mouth she leaned back her head on my chest...I wiped her mouth with her back leaning against my stomach and kissing her crown I softly asked "Feeling better??"
And the next moment she twirled and locked her hands back to my waist her tears flooded on my chest...in no time my hand reached her back holding her close to me while the other one ran lovingly in her hair "Shhh Jaa-
"I feel all stinky...I try to control my cravings but I fail and then trouble you...I am not liking myself"
"But I love you"
She jerked herself from my chest but her hands still around my waist and head bowed "But I trouble you...I smell stinky then too you sleep next to me and instead of complaining you massage my soles with oil every night...your love for me always makes me feel blessed but at the same time I feel I don't deserve you...rather you don't deserve me"
She sniffed at the end of her words while I held her tear-stained cheeks gently between my palms and made her look into my eyes...
With my right hand still cupping her cheek, I brushed off the baby hair from her forehead with the left one while she just kept looking at me admiring my every movement
Once I cleared her face and could see her beautiful eyes I gently pulled her face a little close to me and looking straight into her eyes that had my reflection I admitted "If you can love the stinky smell of my body on yours when I make love to you then why can't I love your stinky smell when you are going through a divine process of carrying our Aarna"
She didn't respond but her eyes reflected her serenity
"Jaana...those 40 days when wearing me you smelled my essence I felt ecstatic and these days when I smell your so-called stinky smell I feel like living those 40 days in every second I be with you because this smell of yours is the
the essence of our Aarna that is ultimately a part of me...
So technically you still smell my essence but the only difference is you are not wearing me...you are carrying a part of me"
And that's when her lips slightly curled up as I said "Don't you dare say those deserving things again...just remember one thing...
You are born for me...
Sona's birth was meant to heal the broken Arjun...
Do you get this...
Nothing can separate us...
Nor time...
Nor destiny...
My love is powerful and divine than any other energy on this earth"
And I pressed my lips on her forehead while she smiled saying "You are the cutest Angry Bird"
I backed off and smirked "And if you want you can wear me and I'll clarify all your doubts" and the poor cry baby had to hide her red face in her palms while I instantly embraced her close to my heart...
********
Today we had a baby shower ceremony...
Danfeng eyes embellished within that moon-like glowing face...simple yet elegant kanjivaram saree with that long lush left open filled with beautiful mogras and that million-dollar smile on her peach lips she looked like an angel in some ancient paintings...
Indeed she is an angel...
My angel❤
Jaana insisted to wear the same dupatta that I used to signify the union of two souls
The mere piece of cloth with which I promised those 7 vows to my life till eternity turned out to be the holy omen for Jaana...
She treasures that dupatta more than me😏
Anyways...
The ceremony was good and cheerful with Siraj feeling the kicks of Aarna and innocently asking
"When will my snow-white wake-up??"
And when I reminded him that snow-white wakes up only when her prince kisses her he kissed Sona's bump saying "Wake up Snow White...See Your prince is here"
A cutie pie he is...
Abu is eagerly waiting for his Aloo
And so was Aladdin waiting for his Jasmine to spend some quality time in his small nest...
Post the ceremony I picked her up in my arms and ascended to our nest...
I helped her to undress the saree and tucked her into my black shirt
I made her lie down on the bed and began patting her head while her hands on my clothes drifted me to our honeymoon days
Flashback:
"Jaana you were only 2 and half years old baby and it wasn't intentional yaar Jaana...please open the door" I begged her banging on the door
"Go away you Cheater cock" was the only reply I got but I went on "But Jaana it was you who did everything that day...you can't blame your innocent husband for the mistake he has not even done"
"No...once a cheater cock always a cheater cock" she yelled on the door from inside and here the poor me left out a sigh in defeat and walked towards the bean bag near the window
Mrs. Angry Bird was super angry...
I had my own ways to tame her anger as
I was habituated to her punches and slaps every time I explained my lover boy stories but this time it was pretty serious
And all thanks to my baby Sona...
After spending countless nights wearing each other now all of sudden the fact that 'I have seen her' is making her angry with her poor husband
Yesterday when I went all naughty and she was continuously blushing a series of words escaped my mouth "Come on Jaana it's not new for us to be this way and for your kind information I have seen you this way long long back when you were my Jasmine"
And the next second her face flushed and before I was awarded by punches I blurted out the story but without responding anything Mrs. Angry Bird has locked herself in the room
I slumped on the bean bag and looking at the moon that witnessed all our moments I couldn't help myself from smiling and reminiscing the memory of my Jasmine...
Once both the Badimaa's were going to a function and it was only Me Abu and my Jasmine in the house...
"Arjun and Raghav we'll be back within an hour...till then look after Sona...anyhow Dada is in the house...he'll take care of everything you just play with her" she said and I peeped in the room where Dada was all snoring on the bed
"Maa...you go...I and Aloo will look after Gudiya" my innocent Abu assured but something inside me burnt as hell
I will look after my Sona...
Not you Abu the monkey...
I cursed him under my breath but I had to do something immediately before badimaa's would leave so I quickly came up with a plan
"Badimaa Abu didn't do the environment project that we are supposed to submit tomorrow itself"
Badimaa shot a glare at Abu and I was smiling in my mind...
Sorry, Abu...
"Maa...I have completed half of the project...I'll complete the remaining portion at night" he explained but Badimaa snapped at him "No...you are completing it now"
"But Maa...I want to play with Gudiya for some time" he whined but no one listened to his pleas and when they looked at me I immediately said "I completed it in the morning itself"
Both the mothers smiled at my fake innocence and that's when my baby love was given in my arms...
And the moment I held her in my arms my little heart swelled with joy and victory
And my victory reached the next notch when my love started giggling and clapping in my arms as if she too was excited to be with me while the poor Abu stamped his feet and taking his bag he went into the room to complete the project
Sorry, Abu...
But Gudiya is only mine...
Only I have the right to look after her...
Post everyone left I was floating on cloud nine as I was the only one with my Jasmine and there was no one around who could see my love for her...
The first thing I did was lock the rooms where Dada and Abu were snoring and studying so that no one could disturb us...
And then I played with my baby love for a while and then decided to feed her
See the 8 years little Arjun was so responsible...
I went into the kitchen and came back with a bowl of rice and smashed potatoes as Badimaa instructed...
She went on babbling and playing with the toys while I went on stuffing her mouth and at intervals, I made her sip a mouthful of water, and at the end, her round cheeks and mouth were smudged with rice...
She looked like a cute little snowman...
I wiped her mouth with my hand and went inside the kitchen to wash my hands and fetch a cloth to clean the mess on the floor and when I came back all I saw was baby Sona sitting in the pool of water clapping her hands on it making the water splash on her face hair and clothes and adjacent to her I saw the water jug lying all horizontal
I slapped my forehead while her face beamed up as she chirped "Alljun"
My name on her baby mouth was a piece of music for me...
Extending her hands she was opening and closing her fists asking me to join her
I walked to her and getting on my knees I immediately took her out of the water "What did you do Sona??" for which she kept her little palms on my cheeks and just rubbed her nose against mine and giggled...
This was her way to say sorry...
Haye my cute little innocent Sona...
I picked her up in my arms and dropped the cloth on the water I cleaned the floor with my leg...
I made her sit in the other corner and opening the button of her cotton frock I took it off and she was left with a diaper
Touching her diaper and scrunching her nose she made a face and I got my baby...
She used to do it whenever the diaper got heavy for her...
I removed the diaper and wiped her body with the towel I wrapped it around her same as Badimaa used to do
"You are not moving from here Sona" I warned her in a soft tone and she nodded happily...
I walked to the small open cupboard where Badimaa used to keep her daily clothes and began searching for a cleaned pair of shorts and t-shirt and that's when her melodious voice chirped "Alljun...Alljun"
I twirled and saw a small ghost...
My cutie ghost had unwrapped the towel and put it on her head attempting to scare me...
I took the clothes and walked to her I whispered "Sona" she didn't say anything but nodded her head in a NO and I got her again...
I slowly pulled the towel off her head and the moment her eyes caught my face her voice boomed as she put her palms in front of my face "Bhoooooooo"
Awwww my cutie ghost I get scared with your cuteness...
"Hawwwww...you scared me Sona" keeping my hands on my chest I faked an act while she clapped her hands in victory...
"You...you" she gave the towel to me asking me to repeat her stunt...
I put the towel on my head and now she slowly pulled it down and before I could utter anything she herself said "Bhoooooooooo"
And started laughing while I pouted at her for fooling me for which she jumped on my lap and again keeping her palms on my cheek she rubbed her nose against mine "Cholly Cholly Alljun"
How can the little Arjun not melt at her cute gestures
I took her little palms and kissed her hands as she threw a smile at me...
Later I put on her clothes and next it was her hair...
I made her sit facing her back to me and struggling to tie her hair into two pony as Badimaa used to do but my baby was the naughtiest...
The baby Sona sitting quite in one place for more than a minute was something called an impossible thing...
She was crawling to get her teddy as I was tieng ponytail...
"Sona wait maa...let me finish" I requested while she twirled and pouted "Alljun teddy...mine"
That was her favorite teddy bought by her favorite Arjun...
She was super possessive about it...
I too pouted and let her go to get her favorite thing...
She crawled and picking up the teddy she ran to me and settled on my lap...
As I tied both the pony she went on babbling her stories and I was listening to her every word...
"Tadaaa!!!! My Sona is ready" I chirped as I twirled her to me while her mouth left a big yawn "Hawwwwww"
And before I could react anything she just threw the teddy aside and tossing her hands around my neck she snuggled her head on my shoulder "Ninniii Alljun"
Of course she loved the teddy I gave
But not more than me...
Arjun was her forever favorite...
I rocked her back until I she was dozed off clutching my clothes...
And then slowly I relaxed her in my lap and placed my right palm under her head...she snuggled lightly as her mouth parted a little
I leaned in and left a soft kiss on her cheeks and she smiled in her sleep feeling my touch
That innocent face of my angel took my heart away...
I could do anything to keep her safe and bring that smile to her face...
Honestly I did not know that was wrong to change her clothes...
It was wrong to see her that way...
All I know was Sona was all wet and she might catch cold...I need to dry her quickly
My intentions were pure as..
She is my only world...
You are the meaning of my life Sona...
I said to myself and I heard footsteps behind me...
There was my Angry Bird in the black shirt that she was wearing since last night...
Without uttering a word she climbed on my lap and snuggled into my chest while my hands instantly circled her waist...
Her fingers began playing with my buttons as she looked into my eyes
"Say something"
I smiled as I put my heart in hers
"It is said that an angel doesn't knock on your door when you wish instead an angel knocks the door to your heart when you are left alone sulking in the clouds of darkness...
And one fine day a little angel knocked on the door of Arjun's broken heart...
With her every breath she taught his broken heart to beat with a new hope
With her every touch and smile she enlightened his soul and brought him to the world of lights
So every time my heart beats it echoes only one tune that is Sona...
Every time my lips curl up I wear the beautiful smile that is your pretty face...
Arjun was just a piece of flesh and blood until he met his Sona...
And once he met his Sona her name imprinted on his heart and her existence molded in his soul
So this way...
Every ounce of Arjun is only Sona...
Arjun's soul belongs to his Sona...
Ever and forever"
She kept looking at me as her eyes asked 'Why do you love me this much??'
"Because I am incomplete without you" I whispered on her lips as I wiped that tiny pearl-like tear at the corner of her eyes while she just tossed her arms around me and scooped her head in my crook
Her hand reached the back of my head as her lips pressed tightly against my neck planting multiple kisses of adoration
She was overwhelmed to speak anything
I pulled her down to my chest while she cupped my face and rubbed her nose against mine and when I arched my brows she just cuddled in my chest
I lingered my lips on her forehead and lived in that moment for don't know how long...
She slept in my embrace peacefully and her hands on my shirt brought serenity to my heart...
I leaned in and kissed her cheeks and her lips curled up...
***
Nothing has changed...
Year's back clutching my clothes in her tiny fist my baby love slept in my arms...
Months back my wife slept in my arms clutching my shirt
And now even today when she is the mother of my child she is still sleeping in my arms clutching my kurta..
And yet another time I kissed her cheeks admiring my sleeping beauty
And yet another time she smiled in her sleep...
My love for her will never change...
It's eternal...
*******
The day I was scared of has arrived...
It's been 10 hours since Sona is in the labor room and with every passing second, I was struggling with my own battle with my inner demons...
Sona asked me not to come to the hospital but I wanted to be there with her in everything she needs me
Though she was never vocal about this I always knew that deep down she needed me at this moment
And as Baba says "You are a fighter champ" I will fight every battle of mine and shine up as a hero...
I had my family bestow moral strength in me...
I kept looking at the flower on my wrist that Sona had drawn before getting into the labor room saying "This flower of yours will never leave you"
Yes, my flower will be alright...
I said to myself as I caressed the flower on my wrist and that's when something poured into my ears...
A cry...
A baby's cry...
My angel has come...
Maa has come back...
Our Aarna...
And before I could digest the fact I was lifted from the chair and caught in a tight hug by Baba and Aaru...
I wasn't reacting to anything...
I was all numb...
I don't even know what my family went on saying...
The only thing I wanted at that moment was my Jaana...
Hours later when she was shifted to the ward everyone went in happily but I felt my legs getting heavy...
I shut my eyes tight and praying to every power I opened the door...
"Arjun" the voice that my ears craved for hit my senses
I opened my eyes and that's when I felt alive...
She was leaning against the headboard with her hand extended all ready to take me in her embrace as always and that's it...
I ran to my life and hide myself in her chest and instantly her hand reached my head ruffling my hair
And yet another time I breathed my life back in her arms...
"You scared me...with your every scream my soul shuddered Jaana...I am sorry...I am sorry"
I left her chest and cupped her cheeks and giving a damn shit I went on pecking her lips multiple times as if they was no tomorrow while I heard Aaru "I told you Baba Bhai won't leave a single chance...he romances anytime and anywhere...
Deep chalo let's leave...I don't want our innocent minds to get affected"
I left a long deep peck and rested my forehead against her while everyone left us alone...
"She is your replica" she whispered on my lips while I sniffed "You are important to me more than anything Jaana...I don't want anyone else not even our daughter...I can't imagine my life without you...I'll die without you"
She slapped my cheek hard as her eyes charged with anger
With that free hand, she grabbed my collar and warned
"Nothing can separate us...
Nor fate
Nor any other power
We belong to each other...
Do you get that"
I nodded as she wiped my tears and she added "And as I always say...you won't be escaping from this ghost of yours that easily...I'll keep punching you till time dies...samjhe??"
A smile crept up my lips as I said "Of course my cutie ghost...after all, I am your official punching bag"
"Now Mr. Angry Bird...meet your junior Angry Bird" she said as she lifted our daughter and here my heart picked up its pace...
Sona shown me her face and my heart stopped...
Wrapped in a sky blue blanket our angel was looked like the epitome of cuteness...
"Embrace her to your heart"
I heard Sona as she began leaning forward and my hands started shivering...
With those trembling hands I held my daughter for the first time ever and my eyes started pouring helplessly...
"Can I give her a kissie??" I sniffed and Sona leaned her head on my shoulder...
I embraced our daughter close to my heart and planted a soft feather-light kiss on that tiny forehead...
Like a maniac I kept looking at her while Sona said "This big baby is your Dadda" and she wiggled in my hands and all of sudden her eyes opened and I was dead for the second time...
The replica that I used to see in Sona's eyes was now reflecting in my daughter's eyes...
Those small pink hands and legs...light hair those thin cherry lips and that innocence in her eyes when she saw me just stole my heart
"Isn't she your replica??"
"She is" my eyes never left those small ones...
Silence engulfed us for a brief period
Sona cupped my face and twirling my face to her and softly said "I gave you your daughter now you have to give me my son"
"No way Jaana" I screeched...
"You have to make me pregnant again" she was determined but so was I...
"No I will not"
"You have to Arjun"
"I said NO"
"Ok fine leave it...I have my ways"
"All the best but I won't let you succeed"
"Pakka??"
I leaned to her face and let my lips meet hers softly and left a sweet peck saying "Itna pakka kaafi hai ya kuch aur karu??"
And as usual, Sona had to turn red and hide her face in my neck...
The journey from Broken Without You to Healed by You was a beautiful one...
I got everything that I yearned for...
My family...
My Jaana...
My Maa in the form of my daughter...
Last time when I said bye to you guys I was feeling my two lines and see even today the feeling is the same...
Sona on my shoulder with her hands holding me as always and our angel in my hands giving a new wave to our lives...
A wave of happiness...
Aarna❤
