CHAPTER 87
Mrityunjay's sleep is disturbed due to the vibration of the phone. He immediately slides the red icons and looks at Mayil, who is sleeping snugly, clinging to his chest like a small baby, which she loved so much. He kisses her forehead and is about to get up, but as usual, she quickly hovers over him and bites him in punishment.
"Damn girl, don't dare ignite the fire early in the morning."
He smiles, caresses her scalp, and says,.
"Happy Birthday, love..."
"Happy Anniversary, Hubby..."
"Jaan, this is Ayaan's call, and it is very important because our company was approached for the biggest hotel plan in Goa, and we were trying a lot for the same for months. Ayaan went there with a rough draft. I want to talk to him; just give me 5 minutes."
On hearing the name of Goa, Mayil's sleep suddenly disappears from her eyes. She has been waiting for this news for the last two months, but she pretends to sleep, letting Mrityunjay get up from her side and lie down on her slide with her eyes closed. He quickly wears his pants and moves towards the balcony because he doesn't want to disturb her sweet sleep and calls Ayaan.
"Yes, Ayaan… Wow, that means our hard work paid off."
Mayil wants to listen to him, so she immediately ties the sheet to her chest, quickly comes to the balcony, and holds him from behind. He turns around and hugs her; she rests her head on his broad chest, and he continues.
"I am really happy to know that our hard work is paying off immensely. You know that all these projects will help us a lot in eliminating our mafia name completely. It will take around 3 months for all the work to be done in a proper way. Stay there and do that. After that, we will definitely pay a visit there. I know you can handle the work there very well."
Mayil is listening to his words very well, so she is also getting to know that only after 3 months can she go to India. She has waited so long, so she can wait for 3 months too. She is happy and quickly goes to the washroom.
After being free from her morning routine, she comes back into the room, and Mrityunjay is checking something on his mobile. She immediately comes to his arms and starts sleeping again with her head on his shoulder, because of which he laughs and tells her.
"Love, you started behaving weirdly. For the last 7 days, neither you sleep at night nor do you let me sleep, and as soon as it is morning, you are feeling sleepy. I don't want to hear anything today. Come on. Get ready quickly; we'll go for a hangout."
"No, I want to sleep."
"Come on, love... It's your birthday."
"So why do you think you need to surprise me on every birthday?"
"You are the first girl in the world whose husband wants to surprise her on every birthday, and she is getting upset and asking her husband whether it is necessary to surprise her on every birthday. "Strange..."
"Be quiet; I want to take my beauty sleep."
He immediately scoops her in his arms and takes her to the washroom. Because, like every year, this year he has made a lot of plans for Mayil, so he is not going to listen to her.
They are in Bali and enjoying their precious time. After amazing shopping—almost everything for Mayil—they come back for lunch. Mayil didn't like anything, but she does not want to disappoint Mrityunjay by saying anything at all. He always tries to plan a very good surprise for her, and this time too, he has not left any flaws in his plan. But this time, Mayil does not know why she is not liking anything. She has been very upset for a long time, due to which she is getting into the same strange mood.
"Mahi… Do you want anything?"
"I just want to be in your arms."
"Sweetheart, can you please tell me why I am so lucky?"
Mayil feels that Mritunjay is making fun of her. So she immediately gets up from the dining table and starts leaving. But all of a sudden she turns around and starts crying, sitting on his lap, and hugging him tightly.
"Mahi I am not joking. yaar… look here… What happened?"
"I don't want to go anywhere; only be with me—only in our room itself. I am happy with this only... Can't you understand? I don't want anyone around us."
All the people around them are looking at both of them and smiling; they know how much they love each other. Mrityunjay smiles, kisses her on the head, and signals the maid to get the cake immediately. So, they cut the cake and said,.
"You loved going out and loved the natural air. Then, all of a sudden, why do you want to be imprisoned in the room?"
"Jai, you don't understand me; I just like being with you."
"Fine, …. Can I dance with you, beautiful? I promise after that we will go to our room, and you can sleep on your personal mattress as much as you want."
She immediately feeds him a big piece of cake and stands in front of him. Mrityunjay smiles and takes her in his arms. One of his men starts the music, and both of them start dancing lost in each other's arms, but suddenly Mayil starts feeling dizzy, and she tightens her grip on Mrityunjay.
"Mahi… "
But Mayil is unable to answer Mrityunjay's words and suddenly starts falling loose in his arms. But his grip is too good around her waist; he immediately picks her up in his arms. But by then, she had completely lost consciousness.
"Mahi....doctor..."
He quickly lies down on the couch, and the doctor starts checking her, but she suddenly says,
"Sir, she has taken her to the room. I need to check her thoroughly."
Mritunjay immediately brings Mayil to the room with so many worries on his face. The doctor starts her work. Mrityunjay is very worried about her, so he starts pacing back and forth in the room. For the last 3 months, even after taking a lot of care, Mayil's health has not been well at all, and she is getting sick continuously, due to which even Mrityunjay does not leave her mostly alone.
But Mayil's problem has been different since the last time she spoke to Austin. Since then, she has been very upset. She always wants to meet Jagdish and solve all her problems. But she does not understand at all how to do this.
After checking, the doctors discuss everything with Mrityunjay and leave from there. Mrityunjay sits close to her, touches her cheeks lightly with his knuckles, kisses her hand, and tells her.
"I love you."
*Mayil finds herself sitting in the office, looking at the same photo Austin showed her over and over again. Seeing those photos, she is getting nervous again. She is scared; Austin's voice is still clear in her ear.
"When his safe was opened, it was found in his safe, which neither my men understood nor I could understand. But I find that man's mind a bit strange."
Mayil is looking at that photo very well. There are two urns kept in a safe; they are a treasure whose mouth is covered with red cloth. She knows very well that this urn is not a simple urn but an ash urn.
Jagdish has kept two urns of ashes in his vault. Thinking of this, her hands and feet suddenly start trembling. She doesn't understand at all. After all, whose ashes are in this urn? Did Jagdish not immerse his mother's ashes? ... Jagdish has killed Shivam and has kept his relic here in this way, but whenever she remembers this, she starts feeling very nervous. It is quite intimidating that a person is constantly living in the same room with the ashes of two human beings.
(Author's note: This is all an original scene that happened in the last meeting between Austin and Mayil, but due to the nervousness, Mahi often starts seeing the same thing in her dreams too.)*
Mayil's eyes are twitching. She feels very good that she is holding Mrityunjay's hand. Slowly, it starts to become clear to her that she is not in the office but with Mrityunjay in Bali. She has often started seeing all this in her sleep, due to which she gets very nervous too. But whenever Mrityunjay is with her, she gets a lot of relief. She starts tightening her grip on his hand and tries to open her eyes.
"Hey love... Are you okay?"
"Hmmm… I want to be in your arms."
"Sure, my queen."
Mrityunjay immediately takes her in his arms and holds her well in the circles of his protective embrace.
"Didn't I tell you I wanted to sleep? Finally, I slept. Suddenly..."
"You fainted, Jaan."
"Hmmm…"
"You know why."
"Jay, please let me rest... I don't want to listen to any of your lectures. You feed the food with your hands. Then don't lecture me about this; let me rest."
"I have nothing against you not wanting to listen, but I would like to share with you a very lovely experience that you will also appreciate."
She quickly rests her chin on his chest and looks straight into his eyes. He is smiling, caresses her cheek with his rough knuckles, and says,.
"We are pregnant, Jaan."
Mayil looks at him very surprisingly; she is happy, sad, excited, and numb, but immediately she calms down. This is big news for her. On the one hand, she is very happy; on the other hand, she suddenly feels that she may have fallen far behind. The closer she was to her target, the more she was far away from knowing everything because she had to go to India at any cost, and in such a situation, Mrityunjay would not let her out of the room.
"You are not happy, Jaan."
"No, I am happy... I am so happy that I can't define you in words. just afraid… There is a little life inside me."
"Don't worry; we are together, so there is no need to worry."
She immediately hides in Mrityunjay's arms. She does not know what life wants from her, but she does know what she wants from her life. She also loves her child, but there are many other things that she also needs to know. And she believes she will know everything.
