As the nurse left Abhimanyu locked the door using the switch.

‘Help chaiye thori.’ (Need some help.) Siya said in a low voice. She thought she will be able to feed her baby by her own but as soon as Abhimanyu turned a little bit to press the switch she felt too weak to even hold her new-born baby which was like feather.

Her cheeks heated up while asking him for help but for her, her baby was important. She can’t neglect her baby.

‘TweetyBrid I was thinking to hold her for a second till then you finish this juice.’ He said taking the baby in his arms.

Siya nodded as she hadn’t eaten anything ever since that horrible incident.

Abhimanyu put his baby on the crib and helped Siya to drink her juice, she wasn’t able to move her hands properly. Abhimanyu’s heart clenched seeing his love in pain, being so helpless. He cursed the person who planned all this. The day he will get hold the culprit he will skin him alive and then feed him to his sharks.

He slowly made her drink the juice then wiped her lips with a tissue. Throwing the tissue in the dustbin he turned towards his wife and said ‘Lay on your back TweetyBird.’

Siya followed his words and lay back on the pillows.

‘You are weak okay. Also I need to help you always with our baby.’ He said kissing her forehead. Siya closed her eyes as his lips touched her skin giving all the warmth she needed. Then she slowly felt his hands opening her white gown’s button.

She didn’t panic and let him.

‘Stay like this, I am bringing her.’

Then he took his baby from the crib and sat beside Siya.

‘My baby, Ma is going to feed you. Okay!!’ He cooed at his baby. Settling the baby in his lap he opened Siya’s gown from front as already opened the buttons.

‘It’s okay, I will look away.’ He said as her cheeks, ears turned completely red.

He held their baby near her chest and soon the baby started drinking her ma’s milk.

Siya closed her eyes and took a deep breath, she never imagined she will be feeding her baby with the support of her father, when the biological father abused her and her baby.

The moment she started drinking milk, Siya felt pure bliss. The feelings was so heavenly that she had tears in her eyes and it was happy tears.

*******

It was 8 o’ clock at night time. Abhimanyu had food with his wife after they talked with their family members through video call.

‘Ma .. I am fine. You.. know you are Dadi to your granddaughter.’ Siya said like a kid to Mrinal as soon as she saw her in the call. Mrinal has a special place in her heart. She was the one who always took care of her even before she asks for anything, as if she can understand her inner feelings.

‘I know Baby. You are now Mamma to our Princess.’ Mrinal said with tears in her eyes.

Siya felt blessed looking at the excited faces of them only to get a glimpse of her no their baby. Specially, her great grandparents and her protective brothers. Everyone congratulated them asked about her health and finally bid goodbye.

After the call, the baby slept as Siya fed her. Siya also started feeling sleepy due to her mediation. Abhimanyu helped her inside the bathroom before she dozed off.

Putting her on bed and checking on his baby, he came out. Two nurses stayed inside until he returns.

‘Sir please come in.’ The doctor led him inside. She softly smiled and the said ‘Sorry to bother you Sir, but it’s regarding Ma’am’s health.’

Abhimanyu nodded his head and said ‘It’s okay Dr. Ray. Tell me is there any complications.’

His voice seemed very serious this time.

‘Sir I will put this topic clearly to you. Being a husband you should know that her survival was difficult. In future you need to take slow steps for another baby. Her body is very weak, the poison affected her whole system. I hope you understand.’ The doctor replied in her professional voice as the topic was very sensitive.

Abhimanyu nodded his head ‘I will take care of the matter.’

‘Now Sir she needs to stay in complete bed rest for 3 weeks. I will be there in the mansion only. We can discharge her tomorrow if you want.’

‘Yes I will take her back to our mansion. Apply for a leave Dr. Ray, you will be staying in mansion for 24/7. And thanks.’

With that Abhimanyu stood up, the lady doctor wished him ‘Good night Sir’ to which he nodded and left.

********

‘Kakai otho. (Kakai get up)’ Jiya said to Mridul who was sleeping in the big couch of Singh Raizada mansion in the hall. Her Bengali is now very good.

‘Hai re Jiya, ese geche ora?’ (Yes Jiya. Did they come?) He asked getting up. They reached here early morning. Everyone went to their rooms while he was taking care of Rudra and Viraj who made them tried and three of them slept there.

‘Yes they are here. Even we all are here.’ Barsha said kissing on her father’s cheek.

‘Ektu besi ghumiyecho tumi Dadan.’ (You slept a little extra Grandpa.) Rudra said sitting beside him giving him the glass of juice. They all had breakfast except three of them.

‘Thanks re.’ He mumbled and drank it.

Soon the couple stood at the threshold making everyone smile at them. Siya was sitting on the wheel chair, Rohan was holding her wheelchair, whereas Abhimanyu was holding their baby princess.

Mrinal stood there to welcome them but her heart ached seeing Siya sitting on the wheelchair looking pale. Rima gave her a little squeeze on her hand ‘It’s okay Mira. Come welcome her.’

She did their Arti while everyone stood there smiling and praising the trio.

Rudra, Devansh and Viraj was all set to hug their baby sister.

‘Welcome home babies.’ Mrinal kissed on Siya’s forehead.

‘Ma she is our Baby sis.’ Devansh said Suhani with a big smile.

‘Yes yes she is our baby sister.’ Rudra said looking at the baby in his uncle’s arms.

Rohan pushed Siya’s wheelchair inside as Mrinal completed the arti to keep them away from all bad. As soon as she stepped inside flowers were shed on her while everyone said in unison ‘Welcome home new Mamma and Baby.’

Siya’s eyes teared up with all their love and care, and then only she noticed whole mansion was decorated like some place in magic land.

She smiled and mumbled a big thank you.

She was over whelmed to see so many people waiting for her and her baby.

‘Welcome Seetpea.’ Abhay bent a little and kissed her forehead and then he approached Abhimanyu Vishal who was standing beside Abhimanyu took the baby softly from him making all laugh at him. The baby smiled at their cuteness and gave the brightest smile making them aww at her.

‘You already hold her Abhi. Now it’s our turn.’ He said like grumpy kid and cooed at the baby ‘Hey Princess!! It’s me your Chote papa. And this is your Choti mama.’ He showed the Baby to his wife who cried out like a kid remembering the days she held all the babies with love but couldn’t have one for herself. And that’s the one reason Mrinal never let her feel less than her own mother Arti.

‘Don’t cry Devi.’ Arti rubbed her back in a soothing way as Aroni side hugged her ‘You look so cute with baby angel. Let me click a photo.’

She said making her smile and clicked a photo of them. Abhay smiled at his parents, after all he is alive only for these 2 people.

Soon every one settled inside the hall except Siya, Abhimanyu and their baby. The little boys followed them only to look at their sister more closely.

********

Vinay entered inside the mansion and greeted everyone. Mrinal made a plate for him and served him. But he was there for another reason also.

But Abhay motioned him to wait for some time as everyone was there enjoying their time.

Abhimanyu settled his wife with help of his sister in law Jiya who carried their baby. It took some time as Siya was very weak.

‘Mannu you go and get freshen up. I and Bristi will take care of he.’ Jiya said as she understood Abhimanyu was also tired.

‘Yes Boudibhai, Siya I will be back soon.’ He said patting her head.

‘Here Big brothers look after your sister okay.’ Barsha said all three of them who were already looking at their baby sister’s angelic whitish pink face, shining eyes, moving her hands in her crib.

Then they took Siya inside the bathroom to help her.

Meanwhile Abhay left with Vinay as soon all decided to get freshen up for the puja in the evening as they were also tired. Rohan silently followed them with his father after taking with wife.

Arti went with Devika to help her for choosing some baby jewelleries whereas Vishal were busy with Mihir as Mridul was still sleepy.

Aroni and Sneha went to help Mrinal to supervise the preparation.

Inside Abhay’s study

Abhimanyu wasn’t present there as they decided to let the couple give their all-time to their new born. But the door was soon opened by Abhimanyu standing with all his glory.

‘You should stay with Siya.’ Robin told him.

‘Dibhai and Boudibhai are there with my baby’s three brothers uncle.’ He said taking his seat.

‘Still Mannu you shouldn’t come here.’ Vishal said to him.

‘I know Chote dadu, but when you all are planning for his doom, I should be here also. HE KILLED MY SON.’ And that’s when Abhimanyu looked like a complete devil, a blood thirsty devil.

The pain of losing his son was killing him, eating him from inside. His baby was innocent just like his wife, yet they became part of someone’s cruel game.

Vishal’s eyes teared up as he remembered the topic, last night his boy, his son Abhay was crying inside this same study like a baby.

The pain of losing a child is the worst pain for parents. Vishal felt terribly helpless once again in his life, his great grandson was dead and all he had to do was pray for his soul. But the cruelty inside him led him call for a meeting.

He knew his grandson will take his revenge but this time he will be with him this time.

Soon they started they are meeting which was nothing but their soul’s dark desires to ruin someone.

Before leaving Rakesh who was 3rd command of Abhimanyu congratulated him ‘You are now a dadda Sir.’ Abhimanyu smiled at him with his heart and thanked him. Indeed, he was already the happiest father.

******

Siya joined her hands to pray for her baby and the whole family inside her room. Doctor suggested her not to move out. She was weak and rest was very important.

Abhimanyu picked his baby and took her downstairs. The priest gave her blessings and said ‘She is a blessed child of god. She survived the death and won her life. She will be always blessed son.’

Everyone was happy to know such precious things about the new-born. The puja was held for Siya and their baby. After puja Barsha and Jiya distributed the Prasad and Mrinal went to Siya who was with nurses for taking care of her for the time being.

Mrinal entered and touched the flowers from puja to her forehead to give her blessings from god then she gave her pious arti from pancha pradip (brass diya lamp) to keep her away from all the bad eyes.

‘Siya Abhi babu and Cutie pie will be here soon.’ She said smilingly. She didn’t get much time to interact with anyone since she came back due to her weakness and drowsiness. Only Mrinal and Vishal came to feed her lunch. Vishal was always a person who can cheer up someone after all.

‘Yes Ma.’ She said with her sweet smile. She also gave arti to the nurses and asked them to come down for Prasad after Abhimanyu comes back in their room.

At night Siya couldn’t join them for dinner. So all three kids had dinner with her to make their aunt happy.

Siya was stunned to find these three kids being so mature to talk slowly only because of their sister. Their love their sister was all over their faces.

The date of baby’s namkaran was decided by priest today only. And today Siya felt sad and happy at the same time. Sad for getting a chance to take part in all these celebrations.

And Happy for her baby, indeed she was blessed.

Isn’t it?

The blessings are nothing but the love, care and promise of forever.

And her baby got everything.

On the other side, amid all these preparations for Singh Raizada’s Princess, the father who lost his son was making a dark web for his target.

Geeta and her daughter were already under his care. And Geeta’s confessions proved that things aren’t what Abhimanyu expected.
