Anamika was in her room, lost in her thoughts. She was trying to understand the process, Vineet's reason why he doesn't want the child. It seems to be very unrealistic, a guy wanting to abort his child for a better future. What kind of craziness is this?

She would never be happy if she abort the child for herself. It's selfishness not determination, she knows that. Yet a part of her heart doesn't want to upset him. He's doing things for her, even the course. Had he asked for anything else, she would have never denied him but his demand is unacceptable, she can't abort her child. She can do the course in future but at the moment she wants to hold her child, she wants to love her baby and she wants him to accept the child. She wouldn't be able to bear it if he mistreats her child or never accepts the baby like her mother never accepts or loves her.

All her life, she struggled to get her mother's love, some attention from her father but was deprived. Her mother never looked at her softly, her father never treated her especially. She was more like an unwanted material lying in the house, a burden on them. Except Sachin none of her family members ever wish her on birthday or get a new dress for her without any occasion. She doesn't want the same for her child, she doesn't want the same struggle and hardship for her child, nor does she want her baby to be deprived of father's love when he's around nor that she want her precious one to feel a waste material, an unwanted object in the house. She would never bear it nor encourage it.

To avoid such a situation she needs to convince him. She can't lose either of them, both her husband and child are important for her, especially Vineet. He had been with her through thick and thin. She hardly remembers any dull moment when he's around, he always had his way to make her feel special even at her lowest.

Every time when she felt her life was worthless, he had made her believe how precious she was, at least for him. He had never force any decision on her except the current situation where he's not ready to listen to her. But in the past, he had always consider her suggestion and opinion. Infact every forward step to their relation was taken by her though he wanted but never said nor take the initiative.

The memories of the initial days of their relationship are still fresh in her memory. He sometimes used to take her for movies and used to steal glances of her whenever any romantic scene appeared on the screen. When once she instantly turned her head to catch him, he didn't turn up for four days though he replied to her messages saying he's ashamed at his behavior and can't meet her gaze until she told him she doesn't mind being stared at by him.

The next day when he came, she surprised him with a tight hug and a peck on his cheek. He was more than happy and swift enough to smooch her lips, claiming her as his girl. She doesn't mind it because he's the only one who claims her, who wants her and loves her.

Anamika doesn't want that love to fade, she doesn't want to distance from him for she can't even imagine her life without him, he's more important to her than the oxygen. For once she may survive without oxygen but not without him, she will die, she knows that very well. And so, she needs to convince him and she would definitely do that.

Anamika came out of her trance with the knock on the door. She brushed off her thoughts and opened the door. A maid was standing at the doorstep and informed her about the arrival of Sachin.

Anamika was more than surprise, Vineet wasn't at home than what made her brother visit her home in the middle of the day? She thought for a while but heads to the hall where Sachin was eagerly waiting for her.

As soon as he saw her, he pulled her in a tight hug which further surprised Anamika even more. She stands still until her brother chooses to separate and cups her face. He pecked her head and congratulated her, Anamika stared at him blankly.

''Tune khud kyun bataya mujhe haan? Wo toh acha hua main Rajat ke wahan gaya toh ye good news mil gayi warna toh teri pregnancy ki baat jaane kab pata chalti mujhe. Tu kuch batati nahi aur tera pati toh aise hi gussa kha je baitha hai mujh se, aaj bhi kuch na bola!" Sachin exclaims, making a face as he makes Anamika sit beside him.

Anamika was petrified now, they all know about it but how? It must be Vineet announcing the news to each ear but also wants her to abort the child. What is he upto? Has he gone mad or what?

Anamika stared at Sachin without blinking her eyes, Sachin nudged her and placed a few bags on her lap.

''Iski...iski kya jarurat thi bhai.'' She managed to speak.

Sachin holds her hand,''jarurat kaise nahi thi, itni badi news mili hai celebrate toh karunga na. Aur fir eklauti behen hai tu meri tere liye nahi karunga toh kiske liye karunga main? Dekh, I know hamare ghar pe toh kabhi kuch thik na raha na shayad ho sakta hai, maa kabhi khudko nahi badal sakti. Par i'm happy ki yahan aisa nahi hai, sab tujhe samajhte hai, tujh se pyar karte hai aur iss se jyada kuch nahi chahiye mujhe!" Sachin exclaims caressing her upper palm fir he's confident that his sister is happy in the house with her in - laws.

Anamika finds her to hold on himself, she ends up collapsing in his arms, closing her eyes tight to resist the tears. Sachin smiled at her act, thinking his sister wanted some love. He patted her head lovingly and pecked her temple.

''Tu dekhna Anu, Vineet tujhe aur iss bache ko itna pyar dega ki tum dono samet nahi paoge uska pyar. Uske dil mei tere liye bahut pyar aur wo kabhi kam nahi hoga, main janta hoon. I just wish tu mujhe na bhool jaaye iss sab mei.'' Sachin jokes.

Anamika looks up at him,''main aapko kabhi nahi bhool sakti bhai!!" She exclaims, holding his hand tight. Sachin smiled, patting her cheek.

The siblings spend some time together, they didn't realize when the sun set until someone rang the doorbell. Anamika asks a servant to open the door, when she asks about the visitor Anamika was left happily surprised to see Vineet's parents. While they too were surprised to see Sachin. When they ask about the matter, Sachin disclose Anamika's pregnancy to them.

''What!?? Anamika, beta tumne humein kyun nahi bataya?" Shakshi questions her as she holds her by arm.

''Maa wo..!!" Anamika stammered, trying to find words to tell them an appropriate, perfect reason.

Fortunately, Vineet arrives at the same time and his family takes charge over him. Asking him questions and scolding him for not sharing the big news with them. Finding them all being over the clouds only anger Vineet and he ends up shouting over his mother, stunning the lady and others. While his further words astonished them all.
