Part 4
"Good
morning sweetheart, how are you today?" Now that is the kind of greeting
every man wants to wake up with thought Virat to himself when he heard those
words from Manvi. He slowly opened his eyes from his sleep only to discover
those words were not meant for him. For a moment, he was disappointed but the
smile from his face didn't fade as he knew she was talking to her future niece.
Jeevika bhabi was 7 months pregnant and it has been Manvi's daily routine to
talk to her niece every morning without fail. She never let anyone listen to
her private chat with her future niece but today he was lucky as she assumed he
was still sleeping. "Ok sweetheart, I will continue my story later once I
reach Chandigarh today as I don't want you to be on the mobile very long.
Swamini bua will not spare us... Uhmm more like spare me if she knows about
this since radiation is bad for you and mommy. Now be a good gal and not
disturb mommy too much." Manvi concluded her private chat with her niece.
"Mannu, khatam hogi tumara baat? I don't what you told her today, but I
felt her movement as if she responded to you." asked Jeevika puzzled with
the bond her sister and her unborn daughter are already sharing. "Well di,
that's the little secret we both share. After all we share the same
similarities na, you are the reason for her to be born in this world and also
the reason why I'm still alive today. "Manvi answered. Manvi's last statement
made Virat and Jeevika's eyes teary. "Ok di, no rona dona in the morning.
We should be reaching home latest by today evening. That depends what time this
Chep gets up from his beauty sleep!" Manvi continued. "Mannu, stop
calling my devar Chep, he is your husband now. Thoda respect karo"
chuckled Jeevika. "Ok Ok di, stop your devar puran. I will address my Pati
Dev as Virat Jiii. Ab khushi?" Manvi replied. "Ok Mannu, now
that sounds better. I will see you later, send my love to all at home and tell
Dabbu sorry for again for missing his birthday " Jeevika smiled and ended
her call.
Manvi
managed to control her sister's tears but she was not able to control hers any
longer. She just murmured to herself, "Di, I love you so much" while
tears flow from her eyes. Suddenly she felt his touch, his fingers wiping off
the tears from her face. "Hey Bandariya, haven't I told you how ugly you
look when you are crying?" he whispered into her ears to cheer her up. His
voice tuned back Manvi to her jovial mood. "Chep, it is already 9 am. Go
get ready fast and come down for breakfast. You would have definitely been
barred from your breakfast if this was Chandigarh." Manvi said while she
tried to push him towards the bathroom. "Oh shut up Dadaji's chamchi! Btw
where is your respect for your husband? Didn't my bhabi just lecture you
earlier?" Virat answered her back with his devilish grin. "Uff that
is only when we are in public Chep, when we are alone I can call you almost
anything under the sun. Understand CHEP!" she smacked him. "What was
that for?" Virat asked while pretending to be hurt. "That was for eavesdropping
my conversation with my Di!" she smirked. "Oye Bandariya, I was not eavesdropping
your conversation. You were so soft that not only me but even the deaf can hear
your conversation" he chuckled and rushed to the bathroom to avoid further
smacking from his Bandariya. "How can he be so charming yet irritating at
the same time!" she wondered while going down to the kitchen to help Pinky
chachi with breakfast preparation.
Everyone
waited for Virat to join them for breakfast. Virat immediately apologize for
coming late but Beeji just smiled and told him "Its ok beta".
Breakfast was simple but the ambiance was filled with so much of warmth and
love, which made it so memorable. Manvi and Virat finally bid everyone goodbye
and left for Chandigarh. They stopped by Ganga ghat before leaving Rishikesh. Manvi bid her parents farewell and
requested their blessing for Di and Jiju's happiness, Jeevika's safe delivery
and Virat's success in his first case. Virat silently scooped the Ganga jaal in
his hands and wished for only one; Manvi. "Ab chale Virat? Enough of
complaining about me to my parents" asked Manvi while holding his hand.
Manvi was talking non-stop throughout the whole journey to Chandigarh. She had
2 weeks of story to share with him as well as probing his preparation for the case.
Virat didn't feel the distance with her presence in the car, he felt like he
could drive for miles when she was with him.
Finally
they reached Chandigarh but instead of driving back to Vandera Mansion he drove
towards the hospital. She knew the way by her heart as she spent half of her
stay in Chandigarh in the hospital. Solemnity slowly crept in replacing the bliss
in her face. Her hand reached for his and she held it tightly. He knew she was
scared as well as nervous. Then she recalled that today was her check-up, it
totally slipped off her mind but not Virat's. It has been a year after the doctors
have declared that she was out of leukemia but she still needed to go for her
regular checkup to ensure there was no relapse. He could feel what was going
through her mind, as he was going through the same. "Main hoon na"
Virat murmured while he squeezed her hand in assurance.
Virat
was unable to tolerate the sudden silence in the car but even he was not in the
state to cheer her up either. He gathered his courage and didn't want his fear
to overshadow him. He needs to be her pillar of strength now but deep inside he
was scared as a child himself. He slowly led Manvi out of the car and walked
towards the hospital. Both of them walked into the hospital, it was like dj
vu for both of them. The hospital held too many memories, bitter and sweet
ones. It was here where Virat realized his love, confessed his love, endured
the rejection of his love, cried his heart out, and went to the verge of losing
his love, his first candle light date with his Bandariya and not to forget his
first kiss. He cherished every moment he shared with Manvi here; it was here
where he found his Love.
"Good afternoon Mr. & Mrs. Virat, Dr
Shashank is expecting you in his room", the receptionist greeted them with a
warm smile at the lobby, and the greeting startled Virat from his thoughts.
Virat and Manvi were no strangers to hospital or the staffs. They slowly walked
towards the Dr Shashank's room while holding on to each other closely. Neither
one uttered a single word till they reached Dr. Shashank's room. Virat finally
turned towards Manvi and look into her eyes; "Are you ready Manvi? Let's do it
together jaan." He asked her. Then he bent over to kiss her forehead and closed
his eyes, the same way how his father will usually do whenever Virat dreads to
visit the dentist. She was his baby now. When he opened his eyes, he could see
her eyes glow and her lips slowly curved to a small smile. "Why fear when Virat
is here na?" she said and they both stepped into Dr Shashank's room
