______________________________________________

"Hachchi" annika sneezed for the umpteenth time since morning, she was suffering from a cold since morning.

"Here drink this anni" shivaay offered her a decoction which he had been trying to make her drink for the past two hours now. Shivaay had stayed back home to attend to his wife. His father shakti had gone to NISH today.

"Chee I had enough I don't want anymore" annika cried like a child. 

"I said drink it anni" shivaay commanded like a strict dad.

"What would you give me, if I drink this? May be some chocolate ice cream" she asked the same question for the twentieth time and shivaay had denied it all along.

"You want chocolate ice cream after all this? Drink it or I promise I'd give you something bitter than this"

"Sadu singh oberoi, ok I'd drink pour it into my mouth" annika held her nose by her hand, shut her eyes tight, opened he mouth and shivaay poured the bitter decoction into her mouth. Alas again she had only a mouthful and spat half of it on shivaay and gulped the other half, shivaay again went to clean up for the twentieth time.

Annika was forced to wear a wool coat, beanies wool cap on her head, socks on her feets, gloves on her hands by her mad husband shivaay and what was visible of her was only her face. She literally looked like a puffed teddy.

Then came pinky with a glass of turmeric milk.

"Annu puttar have it"

"No mom I just had decoction because of your mad son, I hate milk and to top it turmeric milk I hate it. Please spare me" she begged like a little girl. Pinky showed her a slab of chocolate and promised to give it to her if she had the milk.

"Will you give it to me without cheating maa," she showed her little finger for a Pinky promise.

Pinky smiled nodding her head and joined her little finger with annika's.

Annika held her nose with the other finger and gulped the milk in one go. Pinky's phone rang this time and it was shakti, he wanted to speak to annika.

"Hello papa"

"Hello annu puttar"

"What do you want when I come back home"

"Can you get me some ice cream, please papa" annika whispered to which Pinky glared at her.

"Not happening, something else" shakti said strictly

"Then get me tamarind or mangoes or pani poori please" she said like an innocent child.

"Pakka puttar,take care behave like a good child. Bye"

"Bye papa" annika handed over the phone to Pinky and Pinky went away from the room talking to shakti over the phone.

Shivaay came out of the washroom towards annika with the cup of decoction again. To annika shivaay looked like a monster forcing a cup of poison to her right now.

"Not again shiv" she cried

"You have to" shivaay mentioned for the twenty first time now.

______________________________________________

Annika was now sitting with pinky in the hall at afternoon, shivaay had wrapped a shawl around her now, she found it too irritating but could do nothing about it. Shivaay was in the kitchen preparing something for her.

Bhavya mallika's bhabhi came to visit them with some hot soup for annika.

"Can I come in?" she shouted from the door

"Arey come in beta" Pinky stood up

"Hachchee" annika sneezed again

"How are you feeling now annika?" Bhavya asked handing over the food warmer with soup to pinky. Pinky went in to keep it after asking bhavya to sit.

"I'm a bit ok now" annika replied with a big smile. "Come here and sit with me naa"

Bhavya sat close to annika and handed over to her a booklet.

Shivaay came back to the hall with hot chocolate for everyone. Annika took it excitedly, she loved it and it was the better thing she got after all the other items that was forced on her.

"Hi bhavya,how's ananya?" shiv asked serving her the hot chocolate

"Shes fine" bhavya replied

"Whats in your hand anni" shiv asked curiously sitting on the opposite sofa with a cup of hot chocolate for himself

"I don't know I got it just now" she replied not looking at him, her entire concentration was on the hot chocolate.

"Arey nothing yaar shivaay since a baby is gonna come soon, I thought you might want to have a nursery, so I thought to bring this book abhay brought when I was pregnant".

Shivaay and annika looked at each other and smiled giving a knowing look. Then shivaay turned to her and spoke "we don't need it"

"But why shivaay" bhavya asked confused

"Its because we have decided not to have a nursery" annika replied with a genuine smile. Bhavya still looked confused.

Then shivaay explained it to her with a smile "we thought its our child, so we both thought why we should have a separate space for the baby. He/she will live with us. But later when our child grows up and if he/she demands one for him/her we'd make the baby a space according to the baby's choice. Until then we'll have our bundle with us in our room". Annika to nodded her head in approval with a smile.

Bhavya smiled and exclaimed "why didn't I think of it during ananya's time? You both are so cute like mallika says. Hayye I wish my abhay was at least some what like this"

"I'm sure he's better than shivaay" annika replied glaring at him. "This man doesn't fulfil his pregnant wife's only wish." She chided and then sneezed "hachchi" again.

"My poor wife wants to have ice cream in this state" shivaay retorted back in the same tone. Annika then angrily called him "Sadu"

Shivaay called her "ziddi(stubborn)" in the same tone.

Bhavya uttered a "so cute" smiling and started sipping her hot chocolate enjoying the nok jhok that was taking place which was not less than any entertainment to her.
