Its been three days since Vimal and Chaitra found out about her being pregnant and its been the same three days they have gone out of the room. Vimal ordered all the meals to their room and never left her side. They had called their family and informed them about the news immediately and they wanted the couple to return home but Vimal refused stating that he wouldn’t risk travelling immediately and decided to stay back at Greece for atleast a week before they travelled back home.
All day they would watch movie, talk and cuddle to sleep. Chaitra desperately wanted to leave the room and explore Greece for a while for she refrained from asking him since she could see the fear in his eyes despite the excitement and joy he was expressing in everything he did for her.
Chaitra was seated in the balcony on call with Aadhi and Malu while Vimal was standing leaning on the railing scrolling through his mobile.
Malu: Chaitu, tell me how is Greece, should I consider it my honeymoon destination when I get married ?
Chaitra looked at Vimal and she couldn’t just reveal that Vimal wasn’t ready to take her out.
Chaitra: I haven’t gone out Malu, you know I feel very tired and want to feel good to return home.
Vimal was immediately by her side after hearing her words and had his arm wrapped around her.
Vimal: Why do you sit here and chat if you are tired ? Get some rest and you could chat later when you feel good.
Chaitra: Honey bear, I m good let me talk to the girls please.
Vimal bobed his head and walked into the room leaving her to continue the chat. Chaitra spoke for a while and when she returned to the room she saw Vimal was pouring juice and he was placing plate to serve her food.
Chaitra: What did you order now ?
Vimal: I got to know about an Indian restaurant and ordered your favourite food. Now have this juice and you will feel good and energetic.
Chaitra looked at him and with a smile she hugged him while Vimal made her drink still holding her in embrace.
Chaitra: Honey bear, lets go home. I want to meet our family and before you deny, let me make it clear that we would be travelling by first class and I will not feel any discomfort.
Vimal: Let me talk to the doctor here and see if it is ok to travel now or we shall prolong our stay and you could talk to our family by video call.
Chaitra moved away from him with a pout and refused to eat. Vimal sat next to her and tried to hold her hand but she yanked away from his grip.
Vimal: Ira…its for your own good.
Chaitra: I m perfectly fine Vimal, don’t you trust me ?
Vimal: I will book the tickets but not until you finish the food.
Chaitra smiled and moved to his lap and Vimal chuckled at her reaction and started feeding her. Later he booked the tickets for the next day and they watched movie and slept for the rest of the day.
The next they boarded the flight and Vimal was constantly checking on her and even her facial reactions while she was asleep. After a long journey they returned India and Chaitra saw they were driving in a different direction.
Chaitra: Honey bear, where are we going ? Shouldn’t we going in the opposite direction ?
Vimal: I want you to meet someone before we go home so just few more minutes baby.
Vimal pulled her to his chest and kissed her crown rubbing her arm. 20 minutes later the car stopped before a double storey building.
Chaitra: Why are here and whom do you want me to meet ?
Vimal opened the door for her and held her hand to help her get down the car. Holding her hand they were greeted by the security and they stood by the closed door. Vimal opened the door and Chaitra saw the whole family smiling at them. Together they stepped in and she was engulfed in a hug by both Rani and Kavitha who had tears in their eyes. Rishi and Aadhi hugged Vimal followed by Prabhakaran and Hari.
Chaitra sat between Aadhi and Malini and Vimal watched Ridha in the arms of his mother.
Chaitra: Whose house is this and why are we here as if we own this ? Vimal, do you have plans on talking now ?
Vimal: This is our home Ira, I bought this and we would be staying here from now on. I know you love a cozy place but considering the situation we are in and our growing family, I think this is the best decision but don’t worry, you will love this home after taking a tour of it.
Chaitra bobed her head shocked as well surprised on hearing his words.
Aadhi: Chaitu, you must be feeling tired due to jet lag so rest now and we shall meet later.
Rani: Chaitu, call me when you wake up and we shall talk a lot. you should take more care of yourself now.
Vimal: Don’t worry aunty, I will take care of her.
Everyone left the home and he immediately carried her to the bedroom and Chaitra saw it was cozy the way she wanted it to be.
Vimal: I don’t want you to stay at a place where we have only bad memories so even before we left for Greece I informed my PA to look for a home and when he showed me this over video, I immediately knew you will love this so I informed him to pay. The papers are ready and we shall sign them tomorrow.
Chaitra: I love you honey bear and yes I love our home.
Vimal lowered her on the bed and removed her sneakers. He kissed her forehead and covered her with a duvet.
Vimal: You couldn’t sleep properly during the flight and now you must be feeling exhausted with jet lag too so have a relaxed sleep. Tomorrow we are visiting the doctor to check if you are ok.
Chaitra opened her arms for him and Vimal kicked of his shoes and with a smile he cuddled her to sleep.
At Aadhi and Rishi’s home Aadhi sat on the bed with Ridha in her arms and started feeding her. Once she was done Rishi carried Ridha to his chest and pat her back to burp her. He laid his princess on the bed and laid next to her with his elbow proped on the bed.
Rishi: Isn’t it my princess the most cutest baby just like by Aadhu ? You know I love you both with my life, I will spoil you and my Aadhu with my everything and now my princess is already a big sister. Very soon you will have a little brother or sister and I m sure you will form a gang just like your mom, Chaitu and Malu aunty but I will always be your first priority. Daddy and Ridha will be the best team forever and we shall do all mischiefs.
Aadhi walked out of the washroom and smiled on hearing him tallk to their baby.
Aadhi: If daddy and Ridha are a team then whose team will I be in ? Seems like we should have a boy in my team. Lets wait for Ridha to turn atleast 2 years and we shall have a boy baby.
Rishi: No, We are not having any more babies Aadhu.
Aadhi was silent for a while and sat next to him, Rishi pulled her and kissed her cheek.
Rishi: Don’t be shocked or confused Aadhu, I m serious when I say we shall not have any more kids.
Aadhi: Nonsense, do you want our Ridha to be left alone Rishu ? She needs a sibling to have all the fun in her life.
Rishi: True but I can’t see you go through such intense pain once again Aadhu. Trust me love, it was the most beautiful moment of our life when we welcomed our Ridha into our life but I was on the verge of dying looking at you go through the pain.
Aadhi had tears in his eyes on hearing his words and touched his chest. Rishi held her palm on his chest and kissed her forehead.
Rishi: It hurts too much Aadhu, I couldn’t bear to see you go through that once again even if it is to bring more happiness in our life. I have you and Ridha and you have me and Ridha, we shall be happy together, our little family.
Aadhi Mv: You are too vulnerable now to have this discussion Rishu. You will realize that our Ridha needs a company and I will make sure that happens at the right time.
Aadi: Aright daddy, now calm down. Do you want our Ridha to see her daddy being a cry baby ?
Rishi: I love you mommy…
He spoke in her ear in his husky voice and Aadhi elbowed him knowing where would his mommy leaned in.
Rishi: Don’t be a party pooper mommy, we have to wait for atleast 2 more months for me to devour you so lets do what we could do now. Didn’t you say that I m your baby ?
Aadhi caught his chin and turned his face towards their princess who was wide awake and looking at them with her beautiful and cute eyes. Rishi smiled and carried her to his chest and started pacing across the room.
Rishi: It would be hardly few minutes for our princess to fall asleep and the room, home is all ours and I m your’s mommy.
Aadhi: Shameless..
Rishi: Only for you mommy
Rishi winked at her and continued talking to his daughter until she fell asleep. He carefully laid her in the crib which they used when he wanted to have his mommy for himself. He tossed his shirt and laid on the bed beside Aadhi who was scrolling through her mobile.
Rishi: I thought you would be ready for me but here you are so busy with your mobile, too bad Aadhu.
Aadhi chuckled when he tickled her but soon she stopped smiling and bit back her moans when he removed her top and started devouring her bosoms. Minutes later they were cuddling and Rishi was caressing her waist and abdomen.
Aadhi: Rishu, do you feel disgusted to watch the marks on my abdomen ?
Rishi: You never felt disgusted on me, the man who hurt you so much and if you think that I will be disgusted on seeing the marks then you should be even more disgusted over me because I m the reason behind those marks. But to answer your question, they are the beautiful art that will be a forever memory that our Ridha gew up inside your womb. Now that you asked this question, I have a surprise for you baby, I thought of giving it to you on a special occasion but I think this is the best moment to give you the gift since you asked this question.
Rishi got down and rushed to the closet leaving Aadhi clueless on the gift he got for her. Rishi returning with a gift and passed it to her with a smile. Aadhi removed the wrap and saw it was a photo frame, not just a photo frame but it was the marks on her abdomen which had got painted and below were the foot prints of their Ridha. A drop of tears fell over the the glass frame and placing the frame on the bed she started kissing him.
Aadhi: Is this why you took the prints of Ridha on the day of naming ceremony ? but when did you capture the marks ?
Rishi: While you were asleep baby. I had a doubt that those marks might disappear with years but I want them to be a memory forever so I sent the photo to a female artist and got it painted. Now this will beautify our bedroom beside our wedding photo and Ridha’s photo.
Aadhi: You are a whole green forest Rishu.
Rishi: Nahhh baby.. .I was a not just a damn fucking red forest but a whole red univers then you came in my life, my angel and you consumed my dark side with your love and turned me into who I am now. I love you Aadhu baby.
Aadhi: I love you daddyyyyy
Rishi: you naughty mommy, don’t tempt me. I m holding back to let your body recuperate but we shall share some sort of benefits without affecting your health, you know I m a master in handling your body.
Aadhi: Ofcourse master…
Rishi graoned and pulled her to the bed kissing her lips.
