CHAPTER 58
nandini's words had frozen him. For a second his heart stopped beating. It was not something he didnt want to hear ever in his life rather something which he wanted to hear more than anything but was unexpected for him. within these 3 months manik had completely forgotten about her accident, about those nightmares which they both had witnessed and overcome together, her cries, his cries, their support to each other, everything. He was more than happy with her the way they were but this news of hers stopped his brain working. he didnt know how to react, what to say, he was standing in front of her like a statue . nandini knew he was hell shocked and surprised to hear this news. If he was stunned she was also no less. her tears brimming down from her eyes, the stammering while speaking and with her shaky hands she took his right hand between her palms and slowly placed it on her tummy
n=mm... mani...manik... kkkuc...kuch toa... b..bolo..
as soon as she placed it on her tummy he blinked his eyes for the first time after hearing those words and tears skipped from the corner of his eyes. how cute he was looking she thought. In between her tears she had the brightest smile across her face. she held him by his shoulders and shook him a bit.
n=manik... ku..kuch bolo...please???
he still didn't have anything to say rather than kept looking at his hand which was placed on her tummy. slowly he sat on his knees not moving his hand from her stomach. he lightly caressed her stomach over the fabric she was wearing. she knew what he was going through, the want of a child , the crave for their child was something he wanted more than her and nandini herself knew this thing. He always used to keep his feelings to himself so that she doesnt feel guilty but the truth was known to everybody. Before nandini's accident manik always used to say to her "jaan, once you will become pregnant na, dont say Manik I'm pregnant, always say Manik.. We Are Pregnant" and she was like blushing and nodding in a yes.
m=Hum...Hu...Humara Baby!
finally he spoke, she closed her eyes and let her tears brim down faster and falling down on his cheeks. he smiled to the brightest and hugged her by waist tigthly and began to cry like a baby itself. he kissed her tummy numerous times and uttering "thank you" looking up at the sky, to her ayippa. and nandini standing their admiring him was ruffling his hair with her fingers. she bent down her head and placed a kiss on his head. manik finally managed to look up directly into her eyes and stood up cupping her face in his shaky hands
m=tum sach keh rahiho nandini??
how innocently he was asking her to reassure it again and again.. in reply she cupped his face in her both hands and kissed his forehead
n=yeh sach ha manik, tumhari aur meri life ka sabse bara sach.. main mummy banne wali hu and tum pa..
he didnt let her finish and pulled her into a bone crashing hug and began to sob hard. his embrace was so tight that her muscles were aching but she didnt feel the pain rather kept on rubbing his back while he was sobbing and smiling at the same time. for a moment manik thought he was dreaming , he was in the most beautiful dream land but then he came back to reality and understood it was actually happening. Atlast, finally God answered their prayers . he broke the hug and began to kiss her madly all over her face. His happiness knew no bounds at that moment and she stood there surrendered to him watching him go insane hearing the news.
n=manik..stopp..
she held him by shoulders and wiped the tears from his eyes
n=tum..
m=ssshh.. aj kuch mat kehna, dont ask me to calm down today. nandini u cant imagine, what i am feeling right now! esa lagraha ha ke ... kya kahu tumse. i seriously dont know how to express my happiness, jaan finally!!! humara baby...
she blushed hearing this and nodded in a yes
m=but... how.. i mean tumhe kab pata chala..and...
nandini smiled and took a deep breath
Nandinis POV
It all started when we were back from mangalore. tumhare ghar aneke baad se mujhe kuch ajeeb lagne laga tha, something new inside me. kuch alag tarah ki symptoms, feeling tasteless, all on a sudden headaches and so on. ekdin kuch zyada chakkar ane laga tha. I thought ke gharpar tum ya kisi aurko pata nahi chalna chahiye that um feeling sick so i myself decided to do a test , general blood test . I asked soniya to do my tests as she had handled my case before also. usne kaha ke thora time lagega as she needs to verify whether everything is okay or not and before the reports are out usne kaha ke tumse share na karu. isiliye maine kisise kuch nahi kaha. abhi thori der pehle, party me uska call aya tha and she said to me that um two weeks pregnant. pehle mujhe yakeen nahi hua, but then she sent me a screenshot of my own reports. she did my test 3 times just to reconfirm it... manik, i was speechless, main tumhe bata nahi sakti how ... kaise maine khudko sambhala. i felt to just crash into your arms but party chalrahithi toa... par main khudko rokh bhi nahi payi thats why I brought you here, at the beach, our favourite place.
he listened to her each and every word carefully with love in his eyes. today manik was not being tired thanking her ayippa for this wonderful gift to them. he pulled her in his arms for another embrace and she happily hugged him back
m=i love u so much nandini, thank u so much jaan
n=i love u too manik, humesha
...
It was around 1 am midnight when manik and nandinir returned back home. as everybody were sleeping so they decided to reveal this good news the next morning in presence of everyone. The night was surely one of the longest one for MaNan. none of them were able to sleep rather than cuddled up with eachother. the smile in manik's face was not fading away even for a moment. he kept on stroking nandini's hair who had her head on his chest closing her eyes and feeling him close to himself. suddenly a question striked into manik's head
m=jaan
n=hmmm
m=ek baat puchu?
n=pucho...
m=are there any complications in your pregnancy
nandini opened her eyes and looked at him. His eyes were desperately waiting for her answer. they had fear in them.
m=please dont lie to me nandini, tum janti ho, nothing is more important than you to me... aur
n=ssshh manik, calm down. manik just believe in ayippa, um sure koi problem nahi hogi. itne prayers ke baat unhone humari iccha ko kabul kiya ha, manik.. have faith sab accha hoga aur rahi bat complications ki toa woh sonia ne kaha ha ke tests ke baad pata chalega
m=tests kab ha?
n=parso.
manik nodded and pulled her back close to him and kissed her forehead
m=i know sab accha hoga..
n=mee too
...
Next Day
A big day for MaNan as they were going to reveal this big news to their family members. manik was pacing in the room from this corner to that corner when nandini opened her eyes only to find manik walking from here to there
n=manik tum kya karraheho??
nandini said rubbing her eyes like a baby and sitting on the bed. manik sat in front of her holding her hands with a nervous look
m=jaan um damn nervous
n=nervous?? for what??
m=hum sabse kya kahenge? matlab kaise kahenge?? kitna ajeeb lagta ha na..tumhe pata ha main subhah se practice karraha hu ke yeh baat mom dad ke samne kaise kahunga. i mean its so weird
nandini bursted into laughter and manik was even more confused
n=oh god manik tum kitne cute ho (she said pulling his cheeks)

m=yeh accha ha, baby anese pehlehi romance se bhagna shuru ha na?
n=mr malhotra... its high time ke ap sudhar jay. soon to be father u are now manik

m=get one thing clear in your mind. nothing can stop me get closer to you ever, baby ke aneke baad bhi, trust me, nothing is gonna change between us, we'll balance it okay?
