Chapter 16

For the past week, Kavya sits along with Ashwin in the room he works and falls asleep. Ashwin makes her sleep in their room. It happens regularly.

Ashwin did not want to strain her much as she is heavily pregnant. So that night he decided to stay back in their room and work.

Kavya mentally jumped up and down because today she don't have to face the wrath of her baby. But the baby had other plans in its mind.

Kavya lay on the bed trying to sleep while Ashwin worked sitting beside her. He was working keenly without paying attention towards his surrounding.

His attention deviated when Kavya hissed in pain.

" what's wrong Kavya.... are you in pain," Ashwin asked getting scared.

" Nah... your daughter is kicking too hard," Kavya said caressing her baby bump and soothing her pain.

" how come you are sure it's a girl, "Ashwin asked her trying to figure out how she know that.

At first, Kavya was startled. But then she remember how Atharv said not to worry in the case of Ashwin so she decided to speak out.

" The way she kicks and doesn't calm down until you are beside her makes me think that she is a girl," Kavya told him

" What if it's a boy," Ashwin asked her.

" Nah... Sure it's a she," she said and winced as she got another hard kick.

" Look she is on spree, today," Kavya said sighing. Ashwin chuckled at her. He touched her belly for the first time when she is awake and on her sense. Kavya was surprised to see his action because he has never touched her bump until now.

" Stop disturbing your amma and let her take a rest. I will complete my work and spend time with you " he spoke to the baby.

Kavya was giving him a look of betrayal. She wasn't expecting the baby to stop kicking.

" So this is what happens after I fall asleep. Both father and daughter spend time alone. Now I know why is kicking me. She needs your attention" Kavya said rolling her eyes at the end. Ashwin smiled at her and then started doing his work again removing his hands from her baby bump.

Kavya groaned as the baby started kicking again. She took Ashwin's hands and kept them on her belly and sighed.

" let them be here or she won't let me sleep " she pleaded with him. He smiled and nodded his head and kept caressing her belly while going through a few papers.

Kavya fell asleep as the baby went quiet. After completing the papers he kept them aside. He smiled at his baby and went to kiss kavya's belly but retracted thinking it was wrong.

He slept with his hands on her baby bump...
