❃ Together Again

Author's POV

Saransh's body tensed as he shifted little wiping his tears away. He felt a palm over his shoulder and again made his facial like nothing happened. The person sat beside him as it was his father only. Both were now sitting on one stair.

"Don't try to hide your tears in front of me. I am your father." His words again built up the hot tears as hid his head on his father's shoulder. Anand too wrapped his arm around his son while patting on his back lightly.

"Kabhi kabhi dard baatne se bhi kam hota hain. Apne dard ko dil mein daba kar mat rakho nahi toh jakhm jyada gehera hoga." He tried to understand his son.

(Sharing your pain can cure you a lot)

"Main kya karu dad. I thought ki mujhe tuta hua dekh kar janvi sambhal nahi payegi lekin usse lagta hain ki mujhe mere bacche ke hone na hone se koi fark nahi padta. Maine apna dard nahi dikhaya toh kya main pyaar nahi karta?" He told wiping his tears but they were again forming.

(What I should do dad, I thought she couldn't see me broken that's why I never show her my pain but she thinks I never cared and loved our baby)

"It's not like what you're thinking, Saransh. Janvi is in shock and in pain after losing her baby!"

"I know dad but she isn't ready to understand me and my pain. What should I do? I can't see her like that that's why I said all those!" He spoke out his grief in front of his father.

"Waqt ke saath sab thik ho jayega. Bas thoda aur waqt dedo aur tum bhi apni taraf se jitna ho sake utni koshish karte raho. Sab thik ho jayega!" He nodded his head.

"Give her some time, Saransh. Everything will be fine)

"Jao usske paas jao aur thik se baat karo! Tumhari baat vo jarur samjhegi!" He again nodded and got up to leave.

(Now go and talk to her. She will surely understand)

************

"Janvi?" Janvi stood up in her place hearing her mother in law's call. She gestured her to come as she came and both ladies sat on the bed.

"How are you? Are you okay?"

"Yes, maa! I am good now" She avoided eye contact with pallavi. Knowing the pain behind her silence pallavi cupped her cheek in her palm making her look up.

"I can understand how you feeling but Janvi, you need to come out of this thing. If you try to keep yourself in pain then nothing will be good" She paused seeing her sniffling.

"Janvi koshish karne se sab ho sakta hain. Apne dukh ko bhulane ki koshish karo, sab thik ho jayega. Aur jald hi aur ek baccha aa jayega iss dard ko puri tarah se mitane ke liye." Janvi raised her face as she looked at her mother in law.

She is also talking about another child just like saransh. How can they forget her baby this soon? She thought but didn't speak up. Hearing everything she just wished to run away from there. She was feeling like no one had ever cared about her baby but the thing she was not noticing was the concern behind their words. They are talking about another one only to mend her, to divert her mind little.

"Mom!" Their talks were interrupted by the call. Janvi looked up as her eyes met with his hazel pairs. His eyes were a little red as if he had cried. And there were so many emotions filled in his eyes just the difference was he wasn't able to express them. Seeing the long eye contact pallavi felt like giving them space. She got up and walked till her son. Placing a palm on his shoulder she said "Dhayan rakhna usska."

Saransh closed the door and came near janvi he sat on the bed beside her but she walked away. Saransh sighed and followed her till the mid of their room and soon caught her in his arms. He tightened his grip hiding his face in her hairs. Janvi was trying to control her emotions but how will she when he will be doing this with her? His touch is her biggest weakness. She can't resist him from touching her and he too can't stay from touching her.
