Chapter 78: chapter 78

   A quiet morning for Amar and Rhea turned intimate as an unexpected kiss deepened their bond. Without speaking much, they left the room hand in hand, pretending nothing happened just now. As they descend the stairs hiding their blush and wearing a slightest smile. They failed to notice the pair of eyes that kept staring them from behind. Amar and Rhea settles down for their breakfast, as Amar turns to Simar and asks " Didi... Where is Mama, papa and didi?". Rhea swallows hard and adjust her seating, casually covering her face with her hair. Simar who doesn't want to stand as an obstacle says Amar sab, All had their breakfast and went to their room. She also added Jagdeesh has come home. Amar holding a piece of Roti in hand nods his head and turns towards Rhea to feed her and says Thanks Didi, without looking at Simar. Simar leaves the place giving them their space. Rhea" Amar ji, is Jagdeesh Kajal didi husband??. No one spoke much of him to me. Should I go greet him? ". Amar keeps feeding her and says no need. You just stick with Mom. Amar was saying this because if she's with Kajal Jagdeesh will take the opportunity to get in touch with Rhea. Whereas Rhea thinks Amar is asking to give Kajal her private space and she agrees with him.     Shikha and Ram comes out of the room only to encounter Amar feeding Rhea, and Rhea talking of something to him. As soon as they finished the breakfast, Amar stood up to leave, And Rhea followed him. An usual practice they did from the day one of their marriage. Amar hugs her lightly and gets into the car, Rhea stands there waving him with a smile. As Amar press the accelerator, Rhea calls out Amar ji. Immediately he applies the break and turns towards her. Rhea lowers herself and puts her head through the window, this gesture made people from far think that they are sharing a kiss. But what happened was entirely different. Rhea " Amar ji am planning to go with Shikha aunty to hospital". Amar tucks her strands of hair behind her ears and says sure. Be careful. Amar agrees easily because he was bit scared as Jagdeesh is also staying in the Mehta Mansion. So he thought Rhea, going to hospital was the best option. As soon as he agreed she pulls her head out keeps waving him till his car left the gate, and he kept driving watching her standing; in the side mirror. Jagdeesh was fuming with rage. Watching everything.    Jagdeesh could clearly see their romantic endeavours. Which He couldn't tolerate, he even saw the bite mark on Rhea cheeks when she got out of their room. Their laughs was bothering him badly, when they were having breakfast. And came another blow when they shared a car kiss ( in his point of view). Having all this in his mind he was furiously entering Kajals room.    Kajal hugged him when he enters, but he didn't reciprocate. Instead he toss her aside. Kajal " Jagdeesh what happened? Is it because I forced you to stay here?. Jagdeesh still frustrated tries to calm down and apologize to her, because if he said yes. Then she will request Ram and take him to their home. With this in mind he apologize, "Am sorry Kaju". Kajal " I know you're quite upset but, saying she puts her arms around his shoulder and says Jagdeesh how about having babies? Jagdeesh calm facade crumbles again. What's with you Kajal? I made it crystal clear that I have to achieve more before planning for babies... Kajal " But am already in my mid thirties". Jagdeesh " come on Kajal we are doctors and you're mom is a gyno. So stop thinking like a commoner". Kajal feels disappointed and sits down heavily. The rejection felt like forever and she can't endure it. And this was only breaking her slowly despite of herself being a psychiatrist.    Jagdeesh leaves the room just to see Ram, Shikha escorting Rhea into the car. Jagdeesh couldn't control himself and finally gets a car from the garage and drives to Mehta hospital. Kajal comes in search of him but he is no where to be found. She calls her secretary to call off all her appointments and locks herself in her room. She keeps gazing at Aju's picture and eventually ends up crying. Can't I have a baby? Is it too much to ask. She grieves for the baby she never had. The tiny hands, she'll never hold, the lullabies she'll never sing. In quiet moments, she imagines gender of the babies, their names, birthdays, and bedtime stories. Her arms aches for weight they'll never carry. It's not just the absence of a child. It's the absence of a life, she once dreamed into being lived. .A Revenge...
