It's evening, Vineet was on his way back home. He had decided to converse with her his points and vision regarding their pregnancy.

It takes him 20 minutes to reach home. The house was silent, the servants were busy with their work. Anamika was nowhere to be seen, he assumed her to be in their room. So he silently headed to their room but when he enters, he was left surprised at the conditions of the room.

Few toys were on the bed, a huge frame containing cute baby pictures hung on the wall, a soft melody playing in and Anamika was sitting on the bed holding a teddy bear in her arms. Her eyes were closed and she was smiling, it seems she was dreaming of something - a beautiful dream.

''Ana!!" He calls her, she opens her eyes and looks at him, joy and excitement fill her eyes seeing him before her.

She stood up and ran to him, hugging him tightly.

''Ye sab!?" He questioned not breaking the hug.

She parted and looked at him,''acha hai na? Malum hai uss store mei itne saare khilone the, itne pyare pyare dresses bachon ke aur jhoole!! Wo toh pucho hi maat, itne cute the ki kya batau. Mann kar raha tha sab le lun par wo possible na tha na, issliye rehne diya par jaise hi hamara baby aayega hum wo sab lenge. Meine uss store wale se baat ki, wo toh keh raha tha iss se bhi achi designs aur material ke chij aayenge jab tak hamara baby aayega. Main usko apna number de ke aai hoon. Hum na bhai ke baby ke liye bhi wahan se shopping karenge!!" She was speaking non stop, her words and joy in act shows how happy she is about the news not realizing the problem it will bring to her.

''Ana!! Abbi hi kyun? Abhi bahut time hai uss mei!!" He says meaningfully.

She makes a face,''arey kahan time hai? 7 months jaane mei time hi kitna lagta hai?? Meine toh naam bhi soche hai!! Tumhara pata nahi par mujhe toh beta chahiye, jo tumhari tarah caring ho, loving ho, responsible ho. Dekhna, main usko itna pyar dungi ki wo mujhe hi jyada pyar karega.'' She teased him and laughed at her own words.

''Ana!!" He calls out to her again, his voice heavy and stern.

Anamika gazes at him, his tone says he's not pleased with her words and wants to share something.

She holds his hand and makes him sit on the bed.

''Sorry, main thoda overexcited ho gayi thi. Tum thik ho na?? I mean, subha se hi chup se ho, sab thik hai na?" She questions him in a composed tone.

''Ana, tum kyun itna overexcited ho rahi ho. Abhi bahut time hai na, itni jaldi kyun hai?" He asks, trying to tell her that she's rushing things. They don't need the child at the moment!

''Vineet, main kahan kuch kar rahi hoon. Haan manti hoon thoda overexcited hoon main par mai kya karu baat hi aisi hai na, hamara baby aane ko hai kaise excited na hou main!!?" She pouts, making a cute face.

Vineet sighs,''tumhe nahi lagta ye kuch jyada jaldi ho gaya?? I mean, abhi 6 months hi hue hamare shadi ko aur itni jaldi bacha!! Mujhe kuch sahi nahi laag raha!! Humei aur careful hona chahiye tha!! Itni jaldi bacha nahi kar sakte hum, it will be a disaster!!" He spoke out and looked at her only to find horror on her face.

''Vineet please!! Haan main manti hoon ye jaldi hai par it's okay na, aaj nahi toh kal ye toh hona hi tha na toh aaj hi sahi!! Iss tarah iss bache pe koi ilzam na lagao, ye hamara hai Vineet!!" Anamika expresses placing her hand on her belly.

''Aaj hi sahi is not acceptable Ana!! Abhi sab kuch pending hai, ek bache ke liye hum sab kuch dav pe nahi laga sakte. Agle hi month mujhe ek project ke liye Australia jana hai aur tumhe bhi toh!! Tumhe bhi 4 months badh jana hai na course ke liye aise mei hum isse kaise manage karenge?? Sab gadbad ho gayi hai, tum samajh nahi rahi ho. Main janti hoon ye hamara hai aur main bhi usse utna hi pyar karna chahta hoon jitna tum par ye waqt abhi sahi nahi hai iske liye, we can't do it!!" He exclaims, emphasizing on each word only making her scared and uncomfortable.

Vineet holds her hand,''Ana mujhe galat maat samjho please. Main tumhare bhale ke liye hi keh raha hoon, tumhara pura future barbad ho jaayega iss chakkar mei.'' He told her, she pulled away her hand.

''Kya bakwas kar rahe ho tum??'' She shouts getting the hint he's trying to say.

''Ana please don't over react yaar, abhi age hi kya hai hamari. It's too early, we can have a baby in future abhi jaruri nahi hai jaan. Main janta hoon tumhe galat laag raha hai par ye tumhare bhale ke liye hi bol raha hoon main. Tumhe lagta hai jab sabko pata chalega tumhari pregnancy ke baare mei toh koi tumhe course ke liye jaane dega? Kabhi nahi, koi bhi uss baat ko raazi nahi honge aur iss se wo sab bikhar ke reh jaayega jo hum chahte hai. Meri baat ko samjho Ana, we don't need it at the moment!'' He keeps his point, trying to make her understand the disadvantages their child will bring to them.

Anamika didn't agree to his points, she finds them invalid.

''Course can wait Vineet!! Main next time apply kar sakti hoon par ye sochna bhi maat main apne bache ko tumhare junoon ke liye kuch karungi. Bhulo maat meine iss course ke kiye sirf tumhare kehne pe haan kiya tha par aaj tak main ready nahi uske liye. Meine kai baar bola hai tumse mujhe nahi jana waha kissi course ke liye par tum nahi mante ho. Ye mera nahi tumhara sapna hai, tum chahte ho main wo course karun main nahi phir bhi tumhare liye maan liya wo bhi par aab nahi, tumhari ye baat kabhi nahi maanungi main samjhe tum!!" She screams at him and leaves the place the next moment.

She can't take him or his words any more. How can he even say such a thing? He wants her to get rid of their child, really?? How dare he say that? And if it's some kind of prank he's playing on her then he better clear that otherwise he would have to bear the consequences.

Anamika moves out to the garden, she takes her seat on the swing, her heart accelerating like an engine. His words are still ringing in her head and it disturbs her, even the thought of losing her child makes her panic, no she can't lose her baby for anyone be it for Vineet!!!

How can he even think of something like that? Okay, he has done much for her, things that she had never imagined in her life to get or even dreamt of, he had fulfilled all that she may have desired and she can't thank him enough but he can't ask for such a repayment from her. She won't take it or fulfill his demand, never!!
