Days passed like this... Now Rajat and Purvi went to their own house with Pari, Sachin and Kajal went back just yesterday. All of a sudden the whole house seemed to be so empty. The babies became lonely, previously they were happy with each other, but now they grew a habit of rushing towards the small ones immediately after returning from school. They grew a habit of playing small games with their favourite Kajal aunty who had always so many funny stories for them, they just loved her. But now they were alone again in their good old house.

it was morning, babies went to school with very much off mood. Abhijeet was still working in his room. Suddenly he was shocked to see Tarika who was sitting on the sofa with her laptop only a few minutes ago, but now she was resting her head on the backrest, with closed eyes. it hurt Abhijeet that the enormous tiredness present on her face did not struck him before.

woh kitni thaki hui lag rahi hai, pata nahi, kaise maine notice hi nahi kiya! Tarika kaha karti thi, usse agar thoda sa zukham bhi ho jaye to woh bhi woh mujhse kabhi chhupa nahi pati, wohi main kya itna badal gaya ki aaj jab uski chehre pe thakan bas gaya hai, tab bhi mujhe pata bhi nahi chala... Lag raha hai jaise usme ab bilkul bhi takat nahi bachi - kaise bachcho ki tarah so rahi hai - woh bhi subah subah kaam karte waqt! Pehle to kabhi aisa nahi hua! Kuch zyada gadbad to nahi hua na uske saath!

with the last part of his thought he got panicked, he immediately ran to her, and very carefully touched her forehead, it was cold like ice! He immediately removed his hand, he looked at her shocked! "Tarika - Tarika - utho " he called her. But he got no response from her, a chill was moving down his spine!

"DAYAAA - jaldi aa yaha" he screamed out.

Daya and Shreya were in the hall, his panicked voice shocked them. They rushed to AbhiRika room!

daya: Abhi - kya hua?

shreya: (looking at Tarika) Di ko kya hua?

she ran towards her,and sat beside her, checked her pulse, then she turned towards Daya

Shreya: aap jaldi doctor ko bulaiye, Di behosh hai, aur lagta hai pressure bhi kaafi low hoga, body bilkul thanda hai... (To Abhijeet) jaldi bed pe le chaliye Jeej!

The two senior officers were too panicked to act logically, so Shreya took the commanding position.

Shreya: (to Daya) garam pani dalke hot water bag laiye quick-

Her strong and confident tone somehow provided a support to both of them, they simply were following her words without even a single thought.

After some more minutes, with Shreya's continuous hot compress, Tarika's body temperature returned to normal! The doctor came in with Daya. The three of them were looking keenly towards the doctor with pale face while he was checking her!

after checking Tarika thoroughly,

doctor: inhe aisi halat me zyada stress nahi lena chahiye tha, ghar pe help karne ke liye koi nahi hai kya?

all of them looked confused. Fnally Abhijeet spoke, "ghar pe to sab hi hai, par usne kabhi batayi nahi ke uski tabiyat thik nahi "

doctor: Ab pregnancy mein to itna dhyan rakhna hi padta hai! Aur woh bhi yeh kaafi kam zor lag rahi hai- aap ko zyada khayal rakhna chahiye tha -

"Kya!" A shocked expression escaped Abhijeet's mouth! The rest were literally dumbstruck!

Shreya: Di p-p-pregnant hai?

she confusingly looked at Abhijeet, who seemed to be equally confused!

Abhijeet murmured, " Tarika ne kuch bataya kyun nahi - uss din mujhe utna careless nahi hona chahiye tha! Oh God!"

Daya placed his hand on his shoulder.

Daya: doctot saab, kitne din huye hai?

Doctor: three months. Ab aap log inka bohot zyada dhyan rakhiyega - yeh already kaafi weak hai.

and he left.

Here Abhijeet sat on the sofa with pale face, he pressed his forehead. Shreya looked at Daya questioningly. Daya averted his gaze from hers.

A/N: i know this is a very short update, actually I wont be available since october second week, so before going off I thought of giving this small update.

- love,
