"I have never done this before." he whispered while cupping her face.
"Me too" she said looking at his eyes.
"What? You... You have... I thought..." he stammered.
Her eyes widened in realization of what he could have thought about her.
"Don't te...
"My cousin's daughter is in third trimester. They are asking for my presence." Lakshmi indirectly mentioned about her leave.
Shruti sighed. She knew Lakshmi can't stay with her always. She is grateful to her for her help during her pregnancy.
"Sure. Take care. If you need anything call me. Okay?" Shruti said to her.
Before leaving Lakshmi did tell her about all the necessary methods and precautions that needed to be taken care for her and the baby.
Two weeks passed. Shruti got accustomed to handling of her baby. Initially it was difficult, still it is. But now she doesn't feel helpless like before.
Now then Viswa used to drop messages on asking about baby's and her wellbeing, but he was not able to visit her as he got busy with the work.
For shopping she had to go alone leaving the baby at home. She could have taken baby with her, but, Lakshmi and doctor had advised her to not take baby outside at least for 6 weeks. So she hurries to home as she couldn't leave the baby all alone in the home.
What am I going to do after my maternity period got over? Need to look for another maid mean gap.
On the way to her home, she felt someone's gaze on her. When she turned around, no one was there. She shrugged and left.
As soon as she entered, she heard baby's loud cry from baby's room. She rushed to the room and held the baby.
"Mommy has come, Vidu. I am here. See I got new toy for you" saying that she showed her Rattle N Rock Maracas. She shook the toy in front of the baby which in turn made noise. That made Vidya to stop cry and tried to grab the toy.

She laid the baby on the new mat she brought and played with the toy. That was only sound that could be heard in the house.
'Do you really know what you are getting yourself into?' her mother asked her when she said about her decision.
'Taking care of baby all alone is not that easy.' Her father too stood by her mother.
'I want to have baby. That's why.'
'Then we will search for a groom. Not all are like Vijay.' Her mother tried to get some sense to her daughter.
'I don't need a man to take care of me and my child. I lost trust in them. All men are same. Don't compel me.' She said stubbornly.
'What will you do all alone with a kid?' On hearing this question Shruti confirmed that her parents are not going to help her.
'I will see to it.'
'Stop saying like this. You are still a kid for us. Don't do this.' Her mother tried to convince her.
'Moreover, I can't go back. I already went through the procedure.' She revealed shocking her parents.
