Her Turmoil :
Payal replied with the smile and hug her, Khushi just try to be careful with the hug, as Payal is 6 months pregnant, it is not her 1 kid, but still she don't want to harm her, as she think she can.
Payal : You won't harm her, if you hug me tightly dear.. She pat her stomach with her hand
Khushi with I didn't mean it face : HER? still why to take chance. She look to her stomach which is completely swollen due to pregnancy of course.
Payal with what so ever face sit beside her : So?
Khushi : So! What ?
Payal take out the card from her bag and show it to Khushi, Khushi again smile looking at it.
Payal : So , Arniee boy is getting married finally.
Khushi : It's high time dear, he should have marry before three years I guess..
Payal : He is just 28 yaar, he don't have to marry so early, he is so young still..
Khushi with the girlish smirk : You are Pregnant Payal and this is third time.
Payal poke her : So what?
Khushi with a smile and arch of eyebrow : Stop drooling over him now.
Payal burst out in laugh which Khushi join in no time : I can't help it, Okay. she said with matter of facts. And who said you can't drool over someone if you are pregnant.
Payal grab her attention and look right then left to make sure there is no eavesdroppers and they are secure with almost a whisper she asked her : How's everything is going on between you and Shyam?
After Arnav Payal is the only person who knows her so well, with Arnav she has never discuss her married life, as she never felt to involve him in all the mess, and also that Arnav and Shyam are childhood friends, She don't want to between them, as she knows Arnav will Break him into pieces if he hurt her even a bit. She bite her lower lip and curl it inside before replying to Payal.
Khushi : Pretty well now.
Payal arch her eyebrow upward.
Khushi : We both are trying Dear, in all marriage ups and downs come, we are trying. She conform, wish she can avoid this conversation right now, but Payal is in no mood to avoid it, she cares for her, she wants her happy, she wants to help her friend, any how. She took Khushi hand and squeeze it a bit, Khushi sigh on her gesture and a lone tear come out from no where.
Payal after a long pause asked her : Why don't you both go for a kid dear?
Khushi snap her head in Payal direction, and want to say something but nothing came out, she close her mouth in thin line, Payal squeeze her hand again and rub her thumb on her knuckle to give her little courage.
Payal continue : I know I am saying but, may be kid will make your relationship again smooth, its been 4 years of your marriage.
Khushi nodded in approval but didn't said anything, after a pause she looked up and took Payal hand which still on her lap, she kiss her knuckle and with a suppress smile said: Thank you.
some time silence speaks more then words
Payal make a puppy face and with her one hand gesture like she got hurt, and squeeze her chest near Heart.
Khushi give a genius smile to her, which she reply with same.Khushi:You know from month everything is going back to normal,we both are reciprocate equally on everything.she pressed her lip in thin line, which she even don't know, what she said is for convincing Payal or to herself.
Payal hug her on that, and whisper in her ear : God Bless you dear, may you have all your happiness.
Khushi reply in same : Thank you again, and same to you.
Payal with utter confident : Khushi you also know what you said and this smile what you are giving me is not reaching you eyes.
Khushi didn't said anything, and Payal also left for her table.
Khushi know her marriage is not working well but it is normal, not every time two people can't be lovey dovey and happy go lucky type, crisis came and they have to face them, together, She is happy that when ever something happened, Shyam was always their for her, he was always beside her, whatever he was, how ever he was, but he Love her and she love him too. But kids' It is always an issue for him, he don't want it right now, he says he is not ready. And she is ready to wait till he make his mind, She don't want more fuss regarding this issue, last time they talk about it, it was horrible. Right now she don't want it. It is not that when they both got married they both were Kids or they don't know each other, they both were in a relationship for 2 years before they got married, and now 4 years has been completed. 6 years of their courtship, they saw many ups and downs, but somewhere time doesn't matter, after 2 years of their marriage it was devastating, they both hardly talk to each other, just same routine they follow, sleep, eat, work and sleep again, no talk, no Romance nothing.. Just plain routine, but they work together in it, and still doing it. Its takes time to mend things, isn't it? Other side Payal and Akash, they are madly in love, is madly a correct word to describe their craziness, 2 kids and one is on the way in 5 years. She shook all the thought aside, She take a deep breath and try to concentrate on her work.
After the failure of concentration on her work, she took a deep breath and throw her head on her head rest of chair.
Khushi : No, No Not again. She pressed her temple to smooth her nerves, but she knows it won't happen, her migraine won't leave her so easily.
Payal look at her from the corner and with any delay reached her in neon second.
Payal with concerned in her voice she enquire her : What happened? and answer her own question: Migraine.
Khushi just nodded, Payal reached Khushi's purse and pull out her medicine and make her have it.
She told her to take little rest, and take half day.
Khushi didn't open her eyes and laid back on seat, in mean time Mr. Shetty came and enquire what happened, she told Khushi to take a rest and leave after she feel better.
She try to tell them that she have lots of pending work, but no one is ready to listen to her, she take it as her defeat and after a while she left for her home.
