The next morning...
Kalpana wakes up and she notices Raghav wearing
his suit and getting ready to go to office.
"You're going to office now? We just got
married Raghav and you should be spending time with me. I agreed earlier that
we will cancel our honeymoon as your project is important for you but atleast
you can spend one day with me." Kalpana complains while Raghav sits
besides her and gives her a peck on the lips and rests his hands on her
shoulders saying "Baby, please try to understand...This project is
important and today I need to present it to the client and get his approval...I
can't delay it as then he might even cancel his sponsorship...You were so sweet
to cancel our honeymoon trip earlier...Please now also cooperate...Will
you?" Kalpana nods her head and Raghav kisses her on the forehead and
leaves.
A month passes by...
Kalpana starts feeling dizzy at few occassions
and starts puking. Her condition makes Raghav's concern increase and he
consults the doctor who inturn recommends Kalpana to go for a blood test.
The test reports get delivered to the home and
Raghav gets to know about Kalpana's pregnancy. The news makes Raghav super
excited as it would be their first child but Kalpana doesn't appear excited at
all.
"Pregnant...And now? Raghav, isn't it quite
early?" Kalpana says in a dissapointed tone.
"Early sweetheart? It's our first baby.
Aren't you happy with this news?" Raghav says while caressing Kalpana's
face.
"Not much. I mean Raghav, I'm just in my
20's and it's just been one month for our marriage. To get a child so fast? I
guess it's my mistake as we dint use protection many times." Kalpana
starts complaining.
"Kalpi, I know that you are too young now
but whatever has happened, has happened. We should accept this gift of God.
It's our baby." Raghav says and tries to convince Kalpana but Kalpana does
not get convinced.
Kalpana visits the doctor for a chekup with
Raghav and the doctor says "Kalpana needs to not stress a lot. It might
affect her pregnancy."
While leaving, Raghav gets upset with Kalpana as
she still doesn't want to continue with her pregnancy and hence she had been
eating and drinking carelessly.
"I'm sorry Raghav." Kalpana apologizes
and holds Raghav's hands but he doesn't respond.
They reach home and Kalpana follows an angry
Raghav inside their bedroom. "What do you want Kalpana? You're just
behaving in such an immature way." He caresses her hand and says
"Sweetheart, your pregnant. I want you to take care of yourself. But you
are not abel to understand how complicated things are. Yesterday, you were
drinking beer. Fortunately I came home in time and noticed this and stopped you
from drinking it. You know alcohol can be so bad for our baby."
"I'm very sorry Raghav. I din't know else I
wouldn't have..." Kalpana hugs Raghav and says "Please forgive me
Raghav. I know that you want this baby and I promise you, I'll stop complaining
from now on. I will be a responsible mom. I promise." Raghav doesn't
respond to the hug and keeps looking away. Kalpana holds his face and makes him
face her. "Sorry." She says in a low voice and catches her ears which
makes Raghav forget his hanger and her hugs her. He kisses her on her forehead
and says "I love you Kalpi." "I love you too." Kalpana
responds.
In the night...
Kalpana rests her head on Raghav's chest and hugs
him by the waist. "Will you love me the same way as now after ur baby is
born?"
Raghav smiles and replies "Hmmm...Not so
much."
"What?" Kalpana looks up at him.
"Much more Kalpi. As then you'll not only be
my wife, but also the mother of my child." Raghav says while giving her a
peck on her lips.
"Hmmm... Let's see if dada Raghav is more
loving than my hubby Raghav."
"You want to test me?" Raghav teases
Kalpana.
"Yes. I want to. How can you prove it?"
Kalpana replies while moving her hands in his shirt.
"Doctor said that we can make love till 6
months and so..."
"So?" Kalpana replies while biting her
lips.
"So...I'm ready to appear in the test and I
am sure I'll pass with flying colors."
