Abhay 's POV:
I looked up to see 6 months pregnant Piya is strolling toward the bed..... Like a good, dutiful husband I stood up and moved closer to her...... I placed one hand on her waist and guide her to the bed....... I fluffed the pillow and helped her to settle down.........
Me: tum rest kro mai abhi aata hu......
Piya: okay sweetie.....
I read some naughty expressions from her face....... She was upto something...... I moved out of the room and hid behind the door......
I stood there and what I see..... My lovely wife is ambling towards the wardrobe........ Finding something......... Acha g....... Mere mana krne ke baad bhi chocolate 🍫 .......she unwrapped it..... I cleared my throat......
Me: whats going on....... Kya chupa rahi ho....... Show me.......
Piya: Abhay!!! Kuch nahi mai to chocolate ko dekh rahi thi......
Me: acha to tum use dekh rahi thi lekin kha nahu rahi thi....... 😄
Piya: Bilkul nahi tumne mna kiya hai....... Mai kaise kha sakti hu.......
Me: okay then give it to me....... Maine tumhe rest krne ke liye bola tha......
Piya: Abhay...... Ek bite to lene do na plz..... 😇😇
Me: ab tumhari tricks kaam nahi aayegi..... Subah se aisa hi cute face bna kr tumhne 3 chocolates khai hai...... Its not good for your health...... Doctor ne diet ka dhyan rakhne ke liye bola hai.......
Piya: Okay fine...... Hitler.....
Me: Mai hitler hi acha hu......
I again tucked her in the bed sheets........ Looking at the pensive frown on her beautiful face........ Aaj piya ne mujhe subah se bahut tng kiya..... Just behaving like small kid........ I know its normal to have mood swings in pregnancy......... But today I am really frustrated......... I am not showing it to Piya because I know it is not a easy task to carry a baby...... Hoping to avoid any other melodrama...... I leaned down and places a kiss on her forehead......
Me: Go to sleep Piya......
Again her scrunched face........ She pulls down and sits up...... Grabbed my hand urging to sit beside her.......
Me: Ab kya hua Piya..... Whats cooking up in your brain.....
Tears forming in her eyes...... Lips trembling........
Piya: Abhay tum ab mujhse pyar nahi krte......
Me: What are you saying Piya??? Of course I do love you baby...... You both princess are my life...... One my little princess and you......
Hoping she is done........ Now she is okay but she was again annoyed......
Piya: Abhay tum chotu ko hamesha princess kyu bulate ho.....
She pats her belly......
Piya: sorry baby your papa is just confused....... Unhe nahi pta ki you are my little champ......
I don't wanna start a fight now....... Mom told me just to nod whatever she demands......
Me: I am sorry Piya...... And I am sorry little champ.......
In months mein pta nahi maine kitni baar sorry boli hogi...... Galti ho ja nahi.... Wife is always right...... Piya nods in satisfaction........
Me: Good night Piya.....
Piya: Abhay you keep repeating our baby is your little princess ......hla ki mujhe malum hai ki wo mera chotu hai..... Are you gonna love our son.......
Me: Oh! God...... What's wrong with you Piya...... What a stupid question it is...... Of course I will love.... I already do..... Dono mere hi bache hai...... Ladki ho ja ladka mujhe farq nahi prta.... But I just wish to have a little Piya.......
She hold back her tears which was at the verge of rolling down ......
Piya: Tumhe lgta hai ki mai pagal hu...... Maine bola tha..... Mujhe pta tha tum mujhe pyar nahi krte......
I just wanna bang my head on the wall right now...... I started back counting....... 3...2...1....relax.... Breathe..... I cupped her face and wiped the tears away......
Me: Maine tumhe nahi...... Tumhare question ko stupid kaha......
Piya: vahi baat hai...... Tumne mujhe stupid kaha......
Subah se kitni baar sorry bola hai..... Ek baar aur bol deta hu..... Its won't make any difference...... I guess.....
Me: Piya you are not stupid...... Actually you know what I am stupid and I am sorry that I hurt your feelings.......... No matter whats going on in our lives..... I will always love you.....
I lied back down again.....
Me: its getting late ab plz so jao..... I have a important meeting tomorrow.......
She continues with her own lines of questions......... I kissed her to stop her blabbering.......
Me: enough for today Piya...... Plz go to sleep like a good girl.....
Finally I slept peacefully for a sometime until she poked me...... I dozzed off to sitting position.....
Me:Piya tum theek ho.... Doctor ko bulau......
Piya: Relax Abhay..... I am fine....
I rubbed my eyes to clear my vision......
Me: you are still awake..... Tumhe kuch chahiye...... Water..... Anything else......
Piya: I am hungry......
Me: don't ask for chocolate....... Wo nahi milne waali.....
I have stocked the ice-cream in the freezer....... Because I know sometimes she wakes up mid night craving for it......
Me: ice cream mai abhi lekar aata hu.....
Piya: Nahi..... Mujhe ice cream nahi khaani......
Me: okay to kya khana hai meri princess ne......
Piya: hmmm..... Kuch chatpta..... Tangy.....
Me: okay.... For example...... Exactly kya chahiye....
Piya: Panipuri.....
Me: Piya look at the watch...... Its 2.00 am .......itni raat ko kaha milegi panipuri.......
Piya: I don't know jaha se marzi lao..... Mujhe khana hai......
Me: okay mai lekar aata hu......
Piya: mujhe bhi jana hai...... Ghar mein panipuri khane ka mza nahi aata......
I picked her up as I don't want her to climb down the stairs....... Its not safe...... Bahut muskil se ek panipuri waale ko uthaya.... Request ki.......
Me: bhai jitne paise lene hai le lena.....its humble request.....
Samjdaar bnda tha...... Maan gya.......
Piya: I challenge you main tumhe panipuri khane mein hra skti hu....... No one can beat me in this competition.....
Me: lets see.....
She was eating so easily....... But me..... Itni mirchi...... I can't eat more......
Me: you won......
Piya: bhayia thora aur teekha bnana....
I am happy because she is happy......We reached home......we lied back......
Me: Good night Piya.....
Piya: I am Sorry Abhay..... I know its not easy to handle my mood swings........ Thanks for bearing me....
Me: Tum kyu sorry bol rahi ho....... I am sorry that I lost my temper before....Lots of changes are going in your body...... Mai tumhari place pr hota na to ye sb handle nahi kr pata....... Tum mujhe duniya ki sabse pyara gift dene waali ho....... You are pulling all the weight of bringing our child to this world..... Being your support system is what I can contribute............. I love you....
Piya: I Love you too...... Sorry itna preshan krne ke liye......
