Good News

She wanted to break the news to Anish while he was still on a vacation but decided otherwise.
For she wanted to see that joy on his face.

The phone rang and she answered cheerfully, “yes I am going to tell him today.” standing in front of the mirror, she caressed her belly. It was difficult for her to contain her excitement.

As Anish reached home, she told him that there was something she wanted to tell him. He looked at her with curiosity.

“You are going to be a big brother soon,” she announced.

 

The Lovers

“Hi it’s me Nisha, remember we went to the same school?”
“Yes, can’t believe you are here,” said Ranveer.
“I can’t believe it either. So, you are a surgeon now?”
“Yes, but what brings you here?”
“My daughter has a surgery and I was told, you are the surgeon.”
“Oh, I will take good care of her.”

In the Doctor’s Room

“I Told you Amit, she must be married by now. Look she has a daughter. Good that I am leaving for America tomorrow itself, right after the surgery. I can’t stay in this place where I spent all my childhood just loving her.”

In the Waiting Area
From a distance Nisha looked at Ranveer. He was talking to a fellow doctor in his room.

“How I wish I would have told him about my feelings back then. He must be married by now. That’s why I adopted Shreya as I knew I can’t give his place to any other man.” She said to herself.
