Oberoi Mansion

Annika is checking her phone every now and then.Getting frustrated at one point she picks up the needle then continues the work of embroidery.She complains to her unborn baby of Shivaay's tardiness like this-

A: .............You know baby,your Dad is very bad!I will say a very bad husband!See na,didn't bother to call me once since he left.On top of that turned his phone into voice message mode permanently.Have sent so many messages but reply is zero.Isn't he checking his phone?This is unbelievable.If I knew this would happen then would not have let him go in the first place.I am very angry with him.Let him return.Won't talk to him,no.......Seconds later-

But how will I be able to stay without talking to him?Yeh toh phir khud meri saza ban jayegi!You tell me,what should your Mom do?Should I.......Here needle gets pricked in her finger extracting blood.Annika jerks her hand in pain.She adds smiling-

If your Dad's been here,he would have turned entire OM upside down watching this bit of blood.He would have scolded me like anything for being careless,for hurting myself.You know,he is very protective about me...Forget that "bad husband" part.I was....just lying!My Shivaay is the best,best of best husband one can get.For me,there is absolutely no limit,no boundary to his love.Wish I could tell you how much he loves me........Annika gets lost in a dream like trance.However,she returns soon-

Your Dad's birthday is approaching and I am planning to give him a surprise.That's why knitting this embroidery design on this kurta with my own hand.Shivaay always gives me unimaginable surprises.Last year on my birthday he gifted me a Lily pond because I have special attachment with the one at home.I took you there and you saw it right?It's so very beautiful......But the problem is,I won't be able to match your Dad's standard of expressing love even in the half.I will give him this sincere,sweet token of love.Even if I don't give anything,he won't complain at all.....She laughs.

According to your Dad,his biggest,most valuable gift is me.With me,he got everything.Now I am making this for him.When he will wear it,he will feel my touch,love and care in every thread even if..........She stops in the mid-sentence then sighs.Putting aside the frame she says caressing her womb-

Your Dad will return tomorrow.I will tell him about you as I promised.No more hide and seek.Just few hours are left then we will be together,again............Annika smiles through teary eyes.


Next Morning

-------------------

Annika is in Pinky's room.

A:.....Ma,it's necessary for me to go?

P: If you don't want then it's okay.It's not mandatory.Moreover,Shivaay is coming.If we all leave,who will welcome him?

A: Thank you Ma....She smiles.Pinky is about to go but stops.She touches Annika's cheek then asks-

P: By the way,when are you planning to tell Shivaay?

A: What?

P: Ki tu Ma banne wali hai?

A: H...How do you know?Mom told you?Pinky laughs.

P: Vasu didn't tell me anything.But what did she think,Nani banne ki khushi woh akeli manayegi?Usse toh main baad mein dekhlungi!Right now I have so many works to do.Akhir Dadi jo banne wali hoon main!

A: Still,how did you know?

P: I overheard you talking to doctor on phone the day Shivaay came out of coma....Annika recalls how Pinky is taking care of her nowadays.She supervises her diet,resting,fulfilling every little necessity and making sure she is doing fine........Pinky puts her hand on Annika's head then says-
