Chapter 104
Shreya was sitting in her room, thinking about her life.
Her gaze was fixed on the floor and her chin was rested up on her knees.
A smile was there on his lips but that was not reaching to her eyes.
She wanted a child of her own and her desire evoked up with Tia's pregnancy news.
She was happy for her but she also craved that happiness and joy.
She also wanted to experience motherhood, she also wanted to feel her child in her womb.
But maybe the fate was not in her favor and she could never get this happiness.
The doctors had said that she had chances of getting pregnant but she might lose her or baby's life at the time of giving birth.
She was ready to take risk for the sake of her unborn child but Advait would never allow her to put her own life in danger.
She was helplessly sitting on the bed, carrying hopes and dream of a life with her child in her eyes.
A thought had came across her mind and she picked up her phone. She typed a name and put the phone to her ear. The call got picked up on the first ring itself.
"Hi, ji bhabhi?" Sia's sweet voice greeted her.
"Sia, Mujhe tumse kuch puchna tha?" Shreya said with hesitation.
"Ji puchiye na, bhabhi." She encouraged.
Shreya crossed her fingers before asking, "Sia, mere pregnancy ke chances kitne hai? Mai bhi maa ban sakti hoon na?" She asked with hope in her voice.
Sia's heart clenched at her hopeful voice but she had to told her the truth, "Bhabhi, maine aapko pehle bhi kaha hai na aapke pregnant hone ke chances sirf 10% hai aur maine khud aise cases dekhe hain jahan 1% chances par bhi lady pregnant ho sakti hain but..." She explained and hesitated.
"But?" Shreya pressed.
"But main problems pregnancy ke baad aani start hoti hai agar aap pregnant hote hain to aapki pregnancy me bohot issues aayenge aur delivery ke time par shayad aap ya bacche me se koi ek hi bach sake.
Mai ye nahi keh rahi ki aisa hoga par aisa hone ke chances bohot high hai aur aap ek doctor hone ke naate mai aapko ye risk lene se maana hi karungi. " She explained gently.
Shreya listened to her each and every word and nodded her head thoughtfully.
"Uh-theek hai, Sia. Thank you." She said over the call and hung up without waiting for her response.

Advait was sitting in his study on a chair.
His gaze was fixed on the file in his one hand and he was turning over the pages with another hand.
In front of him, Abhishek was standing holding both of his ears and balancing himself on one leg.
His another leg was raised up in the air but he was losing his balance again and again.
His face was scrunched up in a sulking pout.
"Bhaiya, I'm 27 aap mujhe aise bacchon wali punishment nahi de sakte." He whined.
Advait remained his focus on the file in his hand.
"Bhaiyaaaa!" He dragged out the word, raising his voice.
"Stop yelling." Advait's firm voice echoed in the room making him shut down his mouth instantly.
Abhishek shut down his mouth and put down his leg on the floor to take a rest before raising it up again in the air.
"Mujhse koi pyar hi nahi karta ab se baat hi nahi karunga kabhi." Abhishek mumbled out under his breath.
"Hmm mat karna." Advait replied not looking up from the file.
"Bhaiya ye galat baat hai pehle aapne uss bandar ki wajah se mujhe itna daanta aur ab punish kar rahe ho." He complained, "Aap sach me mujhse pyar nahi karte."
"Jab tak ye thought nikal na jaye na dimaag se tab tak aise hi khada reh." Advait replied, turning the page.
"Aap sacch ki awaaz ko daba nahi sakte." Abhishek replied.
Advait looked up with a sharp glare making him gulped down.
"Mere saamne jyada jubaan nahi chalana, Abhi." He said sharply.
Abhishek looked down, "Sorry mai to bas mazak kar raha tha. Aap serious kyun ho rahe hain?" He complained.
Advait kept glaring at him and sighed, "You may leave." He ordered.
Abhishek pouted and made his way towards Advait's chair who ignored him royally.
"Ab aap kyun naraaz ho rahe hain?" He asked innocently.
"Mai nahi ho raha naraaz. Jaa yahan se." Advait replied not looking up at him.
"Bhaiya." He poked his arm but Advait didn't response.
"Bhaiya baat to kariye." He whined like a kid.
Advait looked up, "Kyun karni hai baat?" He asked, "Mai Aru se baat karunga tujhse to mai pyar hi nahi karta to tujhse baat kyun karoon?" He said sarcastically, repeating Abhishek's words.
"Taunt kyun de rahe hain? Maine mazaak me kaha tha." Abhishek replied.
"Mujhe mazaak pasand hai?" Advait asked him sharply.
"Aapko to kuch bhi nahi pasand." Abhishek muttered under his breath.
Advait stood up and whacked his neck, "Sunai de raha hai mujhe." He said.
Abhishek quickly rubbed the sting making a face, "Oww aapko har baat kaise sunai de jati hai?" He asked.
"Kyunki baap hoon mai tera." Advait said and whacked him again.
Abhishek took a few steps back, "Maarna band kijiye bada ho gaya hoon ab mai." He said making a mock offended face.
"Par harkatein abhi bhi bacchon wali hi hain." Advait retorted and reached for his ear, "Sudhar jaa beta aur aainda mai ye line na sun loon ki mai Aru se jyada pyar karta hoon." He said while twisting his ear making him wriggled in his hold.
"Ahh nahi bolunga, mera kaan bahar aa jayega." Abhishek danced from one foot to another in pain.
Advait left his ear and fixed him with a glare. Abhishek rubbed his sore ear, a pout was glued on her lips.
"Jaa ab." Advait said.
"Maarne ke liye study me bulaya." Abhishek scoffed under his breath and Advait reached for his shoe making Abhishek ran away from the room.
Advait shook off his head at his retreating figure but there was only the softness in his eyes.
~________________________________________~
Around 12 a.m. late at night, Advait entered his room but the room was only filled with the darkness.
He frowned and stepped forward to open the lights but the fizz sound of lightening a matchstick reached to his ears stopping him on his way.
Shreya's glowing face came into a view, the light of the candle radiating it's soft glow on her face.
She was wearing a black net saree with a sleeveless blouse.
A dori was only the bridge between the two sides of a deep back blouse.
Her eyes were smoky with the soft effect of kajal and mascara.
She took steps towards Advait with predatory eyes and swaying her hips while walking.
She didn't move her gaze from him even for a second.
Advait was drowned in her beauty. She was looking effortlessly beautiful in a simple saree and minimal makeup.
But he was confused because his innocent and shy wife suddenly turned into a bold one.
She stopped right in front of him, a candle was there in her hands.
She was looking dead in his eyes. Advait was about to speak when she placed her finger on his lips.
"Shh." She hushed and softly blew the candle turning the room dark once again.
The music started playing in the background taking Advait by surpise. Shreya tossed the remote on the other side and wrapped her arms around his neck. His face was glowing under the soft glow of moon light coming from the balcony.
She trailed off her nail from his collar bone to his firm chest with mischievous glint in her eyes. A smirk was came across his lips at her bold movements but he kept standing there and let his wife did whatever she wanted to.
She sang the lyrics and twirled around pressing her back against his chest and wrapped his arms around herself. She again turned back to face him before placing her hand on his chest. She swayed down while moving her waist left to right. Her movements were purposeful yet her eyes filled with love.
She moved her pallu from her shoulder and he had enough.
He softly jerked her towards himself and placed his lips on hers.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and he started kissing her passionately, his one hand was protectively resting on her lower back while other was busy unwrapping her saree.
She was trying to match his pace not backing off with his dominance but he was not giving her a chance.
He took out her saree and pushed his hand down inside her underskirt.
His cold fingers directly touched her pussy and he smirked knowing she hadn't put her panties on.
But she continued kissing him, pressing her lips against his to hide her blush.
Without any warning, he entered his two digits inside her pussy making her moaned blissfully.
He took this as a chance and entered his tongue inside her mouth.
He started fucking her with his fingers and her moans were dying inside his mouth.
The feeling of his tongue inside her warm mouth and his cold fingers inside her was overwhelming for her and she just came in a minute.
Advait slid back his fingers and pulled back slightly to let her breathe.
She panted heavily, her knees gave up and she was carried by him to the bed.
He gently laid her down on the bed and sucked on his own fingers which were soaked with her juices.
Her cheeks were coated cherry red with the blush and the smirk on his face was making it all difficult for her.
He leaned down and pressed a soft kiss on her forehead before taking off the rest of her clothes.
He also removed his shirt followed by his sweatpants and boxers.
Soon the room was filled with their moans and pleasurable sounds.
The sound of skin slapping was echoing in the room.
The moon was the only witness of their loving and blissful night.
~________________________________________~
Abhishek was in his cabin, a few employees were sitting in front of him and he was discussing about an upcoming project with them.
His face was set stern but there was a hint of softness in his eyes which betrayed his stern facade.
Everyone in the office was aware about his soft nature and always approached him if anything went wrong because they were also well aware of Advait's short tempered and never wanted to be under his mercy.
He was speaking something when his phone ringed up.
He glanced at the caller I'd and ignored the call.
Roohanika was calling him but he had ignored the call like he was doing since the suicide incident.
He had promised to call her back but the image of Advait when he was on his knees asking for Randheer's forgiveness had flashed in front of his eyes and the anger took over his features.
He could bear anything but his father's disrespect.
He put the phone on the silent and again continued speaking to the employees.
His phone was ringing continuously in the background.
He ignored all of it but then a message popped up on his mobile's screen.
He tried to ignore it also but an unsettling feeling arised in his chest and he couldn't kept his emotions in check.
He excused himself and opened the message.
It was from Roohanika, she had sent him the video of her while crying.
In the video, she was crying and murmuring something but he put the volume on the low because of the employees sitting in front of him.
The tears in her eyes had pierced his heart.
She again reminded him of the moments they had spent together, of the promises they had made to each other and of the love he had for her.
His own eyes misted at her tears but he composed himself in front of others.
"Meeting is over." He announced barely looking up at the employees.
The employees exchange a look with each other before leaving the cabin.
He put the volume up and her manipulative voice reached to his ears.
"Abhi, I am sorry... I am really very sorry mujhe pata hai dad aur bhai ne tumhare bhaiya ke saath bohot galat kiya par trust me maine unhe roka tha Abhi.
Maine bohot koshish ki thi par un logo ne meri ek baat nahi suni agar mujhe pata hota wo log aisa kuch karenge to mai kabhi tumhare bhaiya ko apne ghar aane ke liye hi nahi kehti.
Jo hua usme meri koi galti nahi thi aur jiski galti thi maine unse saare rishte tod diye hain.
Maine dad aur bhai se baat karna band kar diya hai ab mera unse koi rishta nahi hai.
Mujhe to unke saath ek ghar me rehne me bhi ghutan hoti hai.
Please Abhi mujhe pata hai tum mujhse kitna pyar karte ho tum bhi mere bina nahi reh paa rahe ho phir kyun khud ko aur mujhe itni takleef de rahe ho.
Please wapao aa jao maaf kar do apni Rooh ko.
" She sobbed in the video. The tears were continuously pouring out of her eyes.
Abhishek's heart was screaming at him to run and engulfed his love in his arms. His fingers were twitching to wipe off her tears.
The sight of his love in the tears was unbearable to him.
His emotions were getting out of his control.
His heart was aching for his Rooh whom he loved to the moon and back.
His emotions gave up and he clicked on the screen to call her. She picked up his call on the first ring and a lone tear escaped off his eye listening to her voice. He closed his eyes in relief as if only her voice had grounded him.
"I love you, Rooh...
He whispered.

Advait was in his room, standing in the balcony.
His gaze was fixed at the sun which was dipping below the horizon radiating it's orange and yellow glow in the sky.
His one hand was neatly tucked in the pocket and the another hand was holding a cup of coffee.
He was sipping on the coffee while admiring the view.
A voice interrupted the silence and he turned back at the source of the voice.
"Bhaiya?" Aditya said.
Advait turned around and raised his brow, "Hmm?"
"Aapke signature chahiye the." Aditya said.
Advait's expression turned stern, "Ab kya kiya tune?" He asked, "I'm telling you Adi mai koi complain letter par sign nahi karne wala." He added without letting him speak.
Aditya pouted, "Kya bhaiya mai sign karwa raha hoon matlab complain letter par hi hoga aisa jaruri hai kya?" He said being offended.
"Tere case me... Yes, jaruri hai." Advait mocked.
"Nahi karaane mujhe signature." Aditya muttered with an angry pout and turned around to left but stopped waiting for Advait to pacify him. But Advait remained standing on his place.
"Kya hua? Jaa." Advait said and casually sipped the coffee.
"Mai sacch me chala jaunga." Aditya warned.
"To jaa na." Advait replied.
"Kya yaar bhaiya aapko manana hai mujhe." He whined.
Advait stepped forward and whacked him lightly, "Yaar nahi hoon mai tera." He said.
"Ji bhratashree." Aditya replied joining his hands with a mock face.
"Sorry." Aditya mumbled after receiving a glare.
"Dikha kis par sign chahiye?" Advait forwarded his hand.
Aditya placed the form in his hand and took the cup from his hand. Advait read the subject line and looked up at Aditya who started sipping on his coffee.
"Peene ke liye nahi di hai." Advait scolded, whacking him with the form.
"Ek coffee ke liye apne chote se pyare se bacche ko maar rahe hain." He said and blinked his eyes cutely.
Advait looked back and then behind Aditya as if searching for something or someone.
"Kya dundh rahe hain?" Aditya asked.
"Chota sa pyara sa baccha." Advait replied.
Aditya narrowed his eyes and pointed at himself, "Idhar hai wo baccha." He pressed.
Advait gave him a tight lipped smile, "Chote se pyare se bacche ji iss form ko lijiye aur yahan se jaiye." He said and shoved back the form in Aditya's hands.
"Sign to kijiye." Aditya said.
"Ye trip ka form hai jispe aap nahi jaa rahe hain islie koi sign nahi milenge." Advait replied in a taunting tone.
"Par kyun, bhaiya?" Aditya whined.
"Kyunki mai mana kar raha hoon." Advait replied and moved past by him to sit down on the couch.
Aditya followed him like a lost puppy, "Bhaiya, please jaane dijiye na." He requested and settled down on the floor, crossing his legs in front of Advait.
"Nahi jana. Last time trip par tu gaya tha aur yahan sunna mujhe pada tha ek aisa din nahi gaya jab tere Principal ka call na aaya ho.
" He complained, "Aapke bhai ki fight ho gayi hai, aapka bhai akele hiking par chala gaya hai, aapke bhai ne teachers ke affairs ki rumours bacchon me fela di hai. " He mimicked the Principal.
"Ab teachers affairs karein usme meri kya galti hai?" Aditya sulked.
"Galti to meri thi baccha jo maine tujhe trip par bheja. Par mujhe same galti repeat karne ki aadat nahi hai unlike you. So I won't allow you for this trip. You can go back to your room and cry all you want 'kay." Advait replied in a sarcastic tone but there was the firmness in his voice.
Aditya looked down with a pout. He placed his head on Advait's lap to melt him.
"Please bhaiya." He said like a child.
"I won't melt. Stop trying." Advait replied.
"I promise bhaiya, wo buddhe Principal ki aapko ek bhi call nahi aayegi." Aditya said but the next moment Advait caught his ear in a tight grip.
"Tameez nahi hai baat karne ki? Aise baat karte hain teachers ke liye?" He rebuked him harshly.
Aditya's eyes teared up at the rejection and with the harsh rebuke. He didn't try to wriggle out of Advait's hold and looked down with a shake of his head. Advait was quick to notice it and left his ear.
"Sorry." Aditya whispered.
Advait sighed, "Aise baat nahi karte, Adu." He said softly, cupping his cheeks.
Aditya nodded slowly.
"Jaun please?" He glanced up at him with hopeful eyes.
"Vanu bhi jaa rahi hai, bhaiya." He added.
Advait closed his eyes for a moment before saying, "Vanu Vanu karna band kar de, Adi aur apni padhai par dhyan laga." He told him.
"Aap har baat par daant rahe hain." Aditya made a crying face.
"Mai serious hoon, baccha." Advait continued, "Career par focus karne ki age hai teri and I expect the same from you.
Har cheez ki ek umar hoti hai aur kisi ke liye apne dil me feelings badhane se pehle ye jaan lena bhi jaruri hota hai ki saamne wala humare liye same feelings rakhta bhi hai ya nahi. " He made him understand.
Aditya was staring up at him with understanding on his face.
"Sia is suffering a lot because of this and I'm unable to do anything for her. Mai nahi chahta ki tu bhi aage jaa kar iss cheez ki wajah se suffer kare." He told him.
Aditya nodded, "I understand, bhaiya." He replied.
"Samajhdaar ho jaa ab bada ho gaya hai mera baccha.
Abhi to itna masoom hai koi bhi uske emotions ka use kar lete hain, mere baad tujhe hi to sab ko sambhaalna hai.
Ek tu hi to hai jiske bharose mai sab kuch chord sakta hoon kyunki mujhe pata hai mera Adi bilkul meri copy hai.
" He said lightly pinching his nose at the end but the seriousness of his voice tugged at Aditya's heartstrings.
Aditya buried his face in his lap engulfing his hand with Advait's, "Faltu baate mat kiya kariye aap." His voice came out muffled, "Mai kuch nahi sambhaalne wala. Aap ho na sab sambhaalne ke liye." He said, his voice was heavy with emotions.
Advait chuckled and caressed his hairs, "Wo to mai hoon par agar mujhe kuch ho gaya to...
"Kya hai aapko kyun faltu baatein kar rahe hain. Nahi jaana mujhe trip par, nahi karunga Vanu Vanu bas aap ye bakwas karna band karein warna aap se kabhi baat nahi karunga." Aditya said in frustration but there was an underlying fear laced behind his voice.
"Theek hai shaant ho jaa, sher." Advait said with a knowing smile.
Aditya threw himself in his arms, "I love you, bhaiya. Aisi baatein mat kiya kariye."
"Nahi karunga, baccha." Advait said softly, knowing he had scared his child, "Tu to meri jaan hai apni jaan ko chord kar kahan jaunga." He murmured.
Aditya didn't say anything and kept hugging him until the storm inside his heart had calmed down fully.
Advait pressed a gentle kiss on his forehead, "Mera baccha." He whispered making Aditya smile.
