37.

"Ishika is pregnant!!" Kabir announced, everyone was stunned at first but soon their lips curled into a wide smile. "Really" radhika asked excitedly "yes aunty i have just checked but you can go to hospital to run a proper test" kabir spoke.

Radhika looked at abhimanyu who was still stunned, radhika tugged Abhimanyu's hand bringing him back to reality "abhi.. say something" Abhimanyu gulps down his Adam's apple bobbing "i wanna see her first" with that he rushed in the room. Everyone stayed out, giving the couple their own privacy.

Ishika was sitting on bed leaning on to the headboard she was looking out towards the balcony. Abhimanyu walked to her and settled down beside her. "Ishi" abhimanyu called her out. Ishika looked at him with a smile. "Abhi..I am pregnant can you believe it?"

Abhimanyu was overwhelmed, possibly he was trying to control his tears. He never ever planned on having a family but that was before his marriage, after he married Ishika everything changed. He dreamed of his own family; he dreamed of his and her mini versions running around the house.

Ishika kinda panicked getting no reaction from Abhimanyu. She cups his cheeks. "Are you not happy?" She asked scared , Abhimanyu held her hand and kissed her knuckles. "Happy is a very small word of what i am feeling right now jaan.. I can't express how and what I am feeling right now.. i feel so complete, we are gonna have our family our own small nest ishi i can't express how happy i am"

Abhimanyu spoke as a lone tear fell from his eyes. Seeing this, Ishika couldn't help but chuckle. "I didn't know the cold ruthless Abhimanyu can cry too" she wipes the tear with her thumb. "This abhimanyu never cried his entire life but he did only for his ishi.."

Abhimanyu kissed Ishika's forehead "lets go hospital okay?" Abhimanyu got up and helped Ishika up. "We'll have to go check up to make sure you are fine, we have to set up a nursery and you and I both will work from home and-" Ishika never saw Abhimanyu losing his calm so easily.

She wrapped her hands around his waist and hugged him tightly. "Shh Abhi calm down first of all" she whispers, abhimanyu hugged her back and rested his chin on her head. They were lost in their own little world when they heard a knock. They both pulled back and Abhimanyu made Ishika sit on the bed.

Radhika , Arjun , Ananya and Armaan walked in the room happily. Radhika sat down beside ishika "my bache thank you so much" radhika kissed her forehead. "I am so happy my little daughter is gonna be a beautiful mother" arjun pats her forehead "congratulations isha"

"Thank you papa" ananya went and hugged ishika "bhabhi... i am so happy congratulations" ishika smiles armaan too gave a small hug to ishika "congratulations bhabhi" after everyone was done congratulating they left the room to let ishika rest.

Abhimanyu settled down beside her "ishi now you have to stop running around, you have to rest as much you can, you have to eat healthy from now on okay" Abhimanyu kept on blabbering and ishika couldn't help but listen them nodding to them.

"Abhi now shh go to bed" Abhimanyu who was about to speak further zipped his mouth and lay down with ishika hugging her making sure he doesn't hold her tight. "Good night jaan" ishika smiles and kisses his cheeks "good night abhi" and they both drift off to sleep.

2 weeks later:

It was Armaan and Swanandi engagement today. Ishika was with swanandi helping her get ready while ananya was following ishika as she was ordered by abhimanyu to take care of ishika and not let her do any stressful work. Her pregnancy was going well without any complications.

Everyone was taking care of Ishika , not letting her do any work. While Abhimanyu and Raghav were constantly around her like bees making sure she is fine.

Swanandi didn't want her makeup done by some make up artist cause she just wanted minimal makeup. So Ishika took responsibility for getting swanandi ready. "Perfect" Ishika spoke, checking Swanandi makeup. "Now open your eyes and look in the mirror . Do you like it?"

Swanandi wore a lavender color lehenga with intricate glass bead work in floral motifs, and sprinkled with crystals. With a silk organza dupatta . Just the color complimenting her beautifully. Her hair was tied in a low ponytail with little curls. She paired it with crystal earring and the look ended with bindi.

Swanandi looked at her reflection in the mirror and gasped "perfect isha..you are the best" swanandi got up twirling her dress giggling. "Finally the day has come" she held Ishika's hand and twirls Ishika with her. But ananya stopped them "my bhabhis please stop otherwise Abhimanyu bhai will kill me"

Swanandi rolls her eyes "ishika and her over protective husband" ishika lets out a chuckle "become pregnant and then she how armaan behaves" "girls are you ready?" Swanandi's mom knocks on the door , she walks in and tears up seeing her daughter. "My beautiful daughter.. you just look beautiful, i hope armaan know about your scary side"

Swanandi's mother spoke teasing her "maa" Swanandi whined and hugged her mother, Ishika being an orphan , teared up her and her pregnancy hormones were messing too. Swnanadi looks at Ishika and signals her to come close. Ishika walked towards them and swanandi pulled Ishika in a hug with her mother.

"Don't cry otherwise Abhimanyu ghar sur pe utha lega" (Abhimanyu will turn the house upside down) Ishika chuckles, wiping her tears. "Okay okay now let's go" Ananya spoke and they all went downstairs to the hall. Ishika's eyes were searching for her abhi.

She wore an off white embroidered saree, embellished with gold borders. She wore a choker necklace and earrings. Her hair is loose open.

She felt a tap on her shoulder and she turned to look back. Her handsome husband was standing there looking too hot. "Looking for me wifey?" Abhimanyu asked, raising his eyebrow. "Yes I am tired, I wanted to see you so that I can get energized" Abhimanyu chuckles and tucks the hair strand behind her ear.

"Okay jaan look as much as you want i am yours only" ishika smiles wide and stares at abhimanyu for sometime and then breaks contact. "Come on ceremony is gonna start" Ishika was about to walk to the stage when she saw a familiar figure. She ran to him "bhai" she hugged yash and then hugged prachi. Abhimanyu just shook his head. He clearly told her not to run but will she listen? He walked to them.

"How are you ishi?" yash asked, patting her head. "I am fine, how are you bhabhi.. And how's the baby?" prachi smiles "baby is fine he is with his grandma at home" ishika nods "and ishi now you should stop running like this it's risky baby" prachi spoke pinching ishi's ear gently.

"Awee bhabhii it hurts .. i won't run i won't run" prachi let go off her ear. "Come bhai ceremony is gonna start" they walked in ,Abhimanyu held her hand and walked to near the stage where armaan was waiting for his wife.

Soon swanandi walked in with her mother and father, she walked near the stage and armaan gave his hand for her to hold. Swanandi took his hand gladly and stood on the stage. Ananya gave the ring to armaan, took the ring and slid it on swanandi's ring finger. Swanandi took the ring and slid it on Armaan's ring finger.

Everyone started clapping and hooting. Armaan kissed swanandi's cheeks and like that they got engaged. Swanandi's parents congratulated them and went to greet the guests. Radhika and Arjun too gave them their blessings and went to greet guests.

One by one abhimanyu , ishika , raghav, ananya, neel, kabir and anuska went on the stage to congratulate the couple. How can an event like this end without taking loads of pictures, swanandi was fond of taking pictures so after a long shoot with friends and family the night finally came to an end.

||

Ishika was in her room already tired, ready to go to bed. Her legs were hurting due to wearing heels. She knew she shouldn't wear heels in pregnancy but she just wore them today. Abhimanyu walked in and sat in front of ishika. "Hurting?" he asked worried, she just nods pouting because she knew abhimanyu will now scold her or taunt her saying 'told you not to wear heels'

But instead he got up, brought the first aid, took out an ointment , he took Ishika's feets and kept it on her lap. Ishika quickly took her feets back "abhi no" but abhimanyu took her feet keeping it on lap again. "Shh wifey let me do my work" abhimanyu took an ointment and started applying it to her heels gently massaging her feets.

"Jaan this was the last time now i won't allow you to wear heels okay?" Ishika just pouted, nodding that she didn;t want to go through the same pain again. She would throw away all her heels and replace them with slippers. Abhimanyu finishes massaging , and handed ishika her ion pills and glass of water "you forgot your pills jaan" ishilka took the pill and gulp down with water. "You are here to remind me"

"Good now jaan go to sleep" Ishika nodded and lay down on bed , Abhimanyu lay beside her reading a book to her until she fell asleep.
