Next Morning
____________

Shivaay takes Anika for a morning walk.Returning home they decide to have breakfast in the lawn.
For the time being he is reading a book- "First Time Parent:A Complete Guide".Anika is watering the flower plants.Suddenly she shouts-

A:  Shivaay?He drops the book then reaches to her almost running.

S:  What happened Anika?Are you okay?

A:  I am fine.

S:  Why did you shout then?

A:  Sorry for shouting like that.But I want you to watch something.

S:  What?

A:  Look over there.

Anika was watering a rose bush.In the thick circle of the bush,there is a nest of small tailor bird.Two small chicks are seen in the nest.Soon a parent bird returns and starts feeding those two.It goes and another one comes.Pointing at that Anika says in a slow tone-

A:  Don't make sound.They will get startled.Awww.....So cute.Wish I could take a pick!

S:  I have my phone.Do you want me to click pics?

A:  For the first time my sautan is coming in handy.But carefully Shivaay.Tunn the flash off.

Shivaay takes few pics of tailor bird's nest.Standing at a little distance they observe as parent birds are coming and going.At one point,Anika says-

A:  This must be the most beautiful feeling in the world.The word "speechless" may be got invented for moments like these.Otherwise,we humans never stop talking.
Where language limits us,our heart starts talking.It's not necessary to be vocal for each and everything.

S:  So much deep words?But I agree with you.Sometimes we need to let our feelings talk.Not with others but with us.

A:  You know Shivaay,I just can't wait to hold our baby in my arms.These birds are little still protecting their chicks from every possible danger,taking care.I will also love and protect my baby with all my heart......Shivaay puts his hand around Anika-

S:  You would be a great Mom Anika and I know for sure...She rests her head on Shivaay's chest-

A:  Last night I dreamed that you and me are playing with our baby.(Laughing)We fought over which colour's cloth our baby would wear!

S:   You fought with me even in dream?This is not done.

A:  So what?I can do that always and don't you dare stopping me.He says laughing-

S:  Okay I won't.Now let's go and seat.You are standing for a long time.

Anika agrees and they both leave to have breakfast.


Next Day
________


Shivaay is getting ready in front of the mirror.He is looking for his watch.Anika comes there with it-

A:  Give me your hand(Shivaay forwards his hand and she makes him wear the watch).Where are you going Shivaay?And why have you called Choti and Chutki here?

S:  I have a very important meeting today.Can't afford to miss it Anika.I have to go.

A:  I understand.

S:  Until I return,take care of yourself okay?I will be back soon(Holding Anika,Shivaay kisses her forehead)
He is about to leave but she stops him-

A:  One second Shivaay.

S:  What happened?Do you need anything from outside?

A:  Umm....Baby wants to bid you good bye.
