Chapter 78: chapter 78

GOWRI1 YEAR 5 MONTHS LATER...Fate is cruel yet kind. Like my father told the reality is thousand times more brutal and beautiful than our imagination. Because I never thought I would be committed to a relationship happily. I thought I would never be able to be a bold woman who faced society and travelled to places alone. But Shiva's entry into my life changed that. Our relationship is not flowers and sunshine always. There are times I really wanted to kick Shiva. We do fight and argue but the upside is we both can't be angry at each other for more than five minutes. Our egos don't stand a chance before the love we have for each other. Most of the time, it is him knocking on my old room door for an apology. I try to be angry at him but his puppy dog eyes and soft sorry expression crush the anger I have on him and even before I realize we both are in each other's arms making out like we were away for a long time.We are not a perfect couple. But we are in one way or another perfect for each other. “Hey, you ready for the trip?” Shiva asks pulling me out of my mind.“I think so,” I say with a nervous edge rubbing my belly which is eight months pregnant. I am going to my mother's house for delivery.Shiva catches the worry in my voice and stops before me. He kneels in front of me and kisses the baby bump. Pregnancy is making me an emotional mess because every time Shiva speaks to the baby it tears me up like now.“Hey kiddo,” he says placing his hand gently on my baby bump. “Be a good kid and don't cause your mother too much pain when coming out. I am excited to meet you. I will do my best to be the best dad to you. Love you.”The baby kicks in response and Shiva smiles with fondness. That makes my heart flutter. He gets up and looks at me with warmth. He brushes his finger gently on my cheeks and says in a soft tone, “Don't worry, you will be fine. Don't overthink.” He places a soft kiss on my temple and says, “We are in this together. You and me. We will be the best parents.”I nod as he pulls me in a hug. I whisper, “Thank you for giving me a peaceful and happy home.”He shakes his head and whispers back, “Thank you for completing me.”🍀🍀🍀🍀----------THE END----------🍀🍀🍀🍀
