Thankyou Shanaya..." He whispered to her ears
Shanaya stood There like a statue... she didn't know how to react....yes
He hugged her before...but now the feeling was different...
She felt goosebumps all over her body...shivers ran down through her spines..her cheeks turned pink...
He slowly...took her hands to hug him back...she gently wrapped her hands around him...

"For what sir ..?" She asked...

" For everything...for saving my maa.. for making my bro realise my love towards him...I never thought a girl can do such a magic in my life..." He said emotionally...

She could feel her shoulders getting wet with his tears....she never saw his emotional side...but seeing it today.. really she felt bad ... infact she is paining inside....

" No..sir ...it's not because of me...it's fate and I'm just a reason for that.." she said...

" You gave me my life back but what did I give you in return...pain.." he said...
She got astonished....

" No..sir ..it's my duty to..." She was about to say but he cut her off

" Sir...? No Shanaya..no need to call it ..just call me rishi..." He said to which she agreed...

He was hugging her for about 5 mins but he didn't even realised it...he quickly felt something touching on his abs...he moved apart and looked down..it's her baby bump...

" Oh..sorry...i.. didn't.. does it hurts...?" He asked in concern...

She smiled and nodded in no...
Suddenly he phone rang ...
She took it and saw Riya's name...he told to take it and they talked for some time..
She came back..
" What did she say.. everything ok?" He asked

" Mm.. actually I have to go to hospital tomorrow morning at 9:30.... there is check up tomorrow..." Shanaya said

" Oh...maa will come na?"

" Hmm.. she'll" she said with a smile...
Both went to their respective places to sleep..
.
.
Next day,
Shanaya woke up early.. she finished her works in kitchen to get ready to go to hospital....

Just then, after getting fresh up,priya came ...
" Why are you here in this time beta?" She asked her..

" Maa... today i have to go to hospital for check up...aap ayengi na?" She asked...

Just then she saw rishi going upstairs with the newspaper...an idea came into her mind ...

" Beta .. today...I'm feeling not well.... feeling like my head spinning" she acted by placing her hands on forehead...

" What happened ma...doctor ko bulau.." she asked in concern..

" No beta...kuch der rest karengi to tik hoga.." priya said...

" Oh...aap to nahi aa sakti to kya mein akeli jau?" She asked...

" Akeli kaha ja rahe ho?" She Heard a voice from behind..it was Rishi...

Shanaya turned back and priya too..
" Actually maa is lil bit tired ..so vo nahi aa sakti ...toh kya mein akeli jau?"she asked

" No..no..umm.." he thought for a while...

" I'll come" he replied..

Again Shanaya got shocked and priya chuckled silently...

" Par aapko office jana hai na?" She asked..

" No problem...11:00 tak mein free hu...aur tumari appointment 9:30 ko hai na?" He asked to which she nodded..

"Then I'll come..go and get ready.." he said and went to hall ....

She went upstairs...

She sat on her bed in their bedroom and pinched herself to test whether it is a dream or not... she chuckled a bit and slightly tapped at her head...
.she took a blue saree from her wardrobe and went to get ready..
.
.
After sometime,
Shanaya got ready and came down...
Rishi was sitting there in sofa waiting for her ..
When she came downstairs..rishi unknowingly stood up with his mouth hung opened...

Her soft silky hair...her magnetic eyes,her pink juicy lips , sharp nose...her pregnancy glow in her face ....he stared at each and every features of her....

" Chale..? " Her voice cut off his trance and he nodded...

She sat on back seat as usual and he at driving seat...
He turned off the AC purposefully as he knows she will get neusea...
He frequently looked her through the mirror....but Shanaya was busy in exploring the view outside...

Soon both reached hospital...
Both sat on a bench waiting for their call...
She said that she want to drink a bottle of water before scanning...he went down and bought a bottle of mineral water for her...
She drank it and after a couple of minutes, a nurse came..
" Mr.and mrs. Malhotra..dr is calling you.."
Both went inside...

Shanaya first went inside and seeing her riya got up and hugged her tightly..both shred tears of joy...just then riya noticed rishi with her..

" Oh...mr. malhotra..what a pleasant surprise!!" She said..

" Oh..how are you" he asked back shaking her hand...

" Fine...take your seat.." he sat down..and Shanaya sat on patients seat..

" So...how are Shanu... what's my baby saying?" Riya asked

" Yeah fine ..." Shanaya replied looking at her baby bump...

Riya checked her bp..and she got a lil bit surprised that .for her past two months her pressure was high......but it's normal today..

" Vese Shanu tum Thodi moti hi gayi ho.." riya teased...

Shanaya rolled her eyes and pouted
" kya... mein moti ho gayi hu... don't you have eyes...tum ho moti"

Rishi chuckled at her cute expressions...
" Ok..ok..it's normal yaar..moti to hoga hi...chalo weighing machine pe khade ho jao .. weight dekhni hai..." Riya asked ..

She did the same...and the machine indicated 56kg
"Don't worry Shanu... weight correct hai .." she said

" Ok..ab scan karte hai...rishi please stay here.."riya asked to which he nodded

riya and went into her inside cabin with Shanaya... She laid down and removed her saree on her navel side to see her belly..riya did her ultrasound scanning....

Shanaya saw for the first time her baby...no..his baby...
It's small hands,small legs ...for the past 2 months it had no shape...but now..it's slowly turning into a human form...
Tears started rolling down from her eyes...she whipped it and looked at the screen...

" Rishi " riya called out enough to hear him...

Shanaya got lil bit confused that why is she calling him...

He slightly opened half of the door and riya asked " wanna see your baby?"

Rishi got excited...he felt overwhelmed...

" Hmm.." he nodded...

" Then come..." Riya said...

Shanaya was hell confused what was going on...here ..she just looked at riya...
Then she saw rishi entering into the cabin...she felt a little bit embarrassed...
Because for the first time he is seeing her baby bump like this...

As rishi entered ,he saw Shanaya lying on A bed and a computer screen beside her...
He saw her white milky skin protruding outside and for the first time he saw it..her belly..he felt excited and also a bit embarrassing...

He looked to the screen and found a baby figure in the computer screen...
He touched it with his hands and chuckled in excitement...

" Is..is. .it??" He asked riya to which she nodded..
He placed his hands on his mouth in astonishment and tears of happiness came out of his eyes...

Shanaya kept looking at his expressions and she too smiled seeing his reactions...
He looked at Shanaya and she too smiled at him a bit and looked away in shy..
He saw his baby swimming inside her womb and he noticed her expressions...her eyes turned moist ...she tried her best to hide it .but tears rolled down through her cheeks...and he could see motherly affection and love in her eyes...

after checking the scanning reports, riya said that the baby is healthy and infact he is very strong too ...and also suggested Shanaya to listen music, watch her favourite movies or even read books and whatever she likes as that it's the time of brain development of baby....

She prescribed some medicines and both left the hospital...
.
.
Down at car parking area...,
Shanaya opened the back door to sit..just then rishi opened front door and asked her to sit there ..
He looked at him in surprise and sat down...

She settled herself in front seat.. and she felt a touch on her hands...soon she realised that rishi entangled his fingers with hers....
She looked at him and found out that he is looking at her...

" Shanaya... thankyou.. thankyou so much....tum tum mere liye kya kya karte ho ..Shanaya ... today I understood a mother's love towards her child... I'm feeling like I'm not doing right by keeping my baby away from you aftet the delivery...so today I'm breaching one of our contract.."

.she looked at him in surprise...

" Yes , you can see the child after delivery...and also you can feed it before I..I took him with me..."

Shanaya's happiness had no bounds...in all these days, she only wished for this moment...to see the face of baby at once...tears started rolling down from her eyes..

" Really?" She asked in a trembling voice..

" Yes.." he replied...
She smiled wholeheartedly...

" Thanks" she whispered..

Rishi took his hands from her.... and started to drive the car with utmost care...after sometime..they reached a junction...rishi drive car to the right direction and actually the way to their house was on left director...

" Rishi...we took the wrong direction...i think..." Shanaya said

" No.. actually we are not going home.."

" What..!! Then where .. don't you want to go to office?" She asked

" It's only 10:15 Shanaya ...i told you na im free till 11:00 ...and also riya said that now you can travel for short distances...so for change..we can go somewhere..tum mere liye itna sab kuch karte ho to mein kyu nahi..."

She looked at him in surprise...and after 15 min drive ...rishi stopped the car..
She looked at the place and her eyes widened...

One of the beautiful place on earth...one of the wonders in world...pride of India...
Taj Mahal...it had a special beauty when sunrays touched on it...

Shanaya jumped out of car in joy...

" Sambhalke.." rishi remembered her...

She walked through the gate way and soon reached infront of Taj...
So many visitors were there so rishi suggested her to stay at some distance for her safety....

Shanaya started enjoying the breeze and beauty of nature...rishi found it too beautiful...
He took his phone and clicked some of her candid pics....

She was so busy in admiring beauty so she didn't even noticed him clicking her pictures...
