After a few more months of over-protection from shivaay, anika enters her ninth month. She has been getting increasing weaknesses especially in the morning but shivaay always comforted her. They continued to send updates to their family in India. One morning shivaay woke up to a glass breaking.

Shivaay: ani

He woke up with a jolt and looked around to see anika nearly on the floor. He jumped out of bed and helps her sit properly

Shivaay: kya hua anika

Anika: mein uth ri thi aur achanak se mein girgayi thi. Nothing serious tho i got saved

Shibaay: anika serious ho sakta tha ek chutki mein

He snaps his fingers

Anika: sorry shivaay

Shivaay: aur agle baar pl......

Anika: please apna dhyaan rakho aur mujhe batao agar kisi cheez ki zaroorat hai, naa?

Shivaay: tune toh.....

Anika: shiv yeh aap roz bolte hai obviously i will learn it.

Shivaay: aab yaha aao

Anika sits up when shivaay starts checking her all over

Anika: shivaay kya kare hai aap

She pushes his hand away

Shivaay: ani Im checking agar tujhe kahi na chot laga

Anika: mene bola tha I'm fine

Shivaay: nahi anika tu bas yeh ki bolti ki you're fine. Mujhe pata hai ki tum mujhe nahi bataoungi

Anika: kyuki aap stress out karte

Shivaay: toh stress out karna hai yaar yeh mera bacha bhi hai okay so i have full right to know how she is

Anika: shivaay thank you

Shivaay: aab kya hua tujhko

Anikas eyes well up

Anika: aapne meri chutki ko ek naya janam diya

Shivaay: and I promise you yeh chutki tumse dhoor kahi nahi jayengi

They both hug each other tightly and feel at rest in each others arms. They break apart on hearing the fake coughs from a someone. They turn to see Malika holding a tray of food

Malika: agar aapke romance session hogaya toh mein breakfast serve karu?

Anika: mali mein neeche aa sakti

Malika hands the tray to Shivaay

Malika: agar aati toh tumhare yeh joh laldi pati hai na meri band bajane wala banega

Anika: mali he's not that bad

Malika: babes you don't know

And with that she walks away.

Shivaay: acha anika mooh kolo

He holds a spoon up to her mouth

Anika: mujhe nahi kana yeh

Shivaay: anika it's good for you

Anika: phir bhi shiv

Shivaay: chup chap kalo aur phir hum malika ke saath bhaar jayenge

Anikas face lit up

Anika: sachi?

Shivaay: haa now eat

Shivaay feeds her the breakfast, having the French toast that was kept beside the bowl for himself. After eating they both got ready and met malika downstairs

Malika: ready

Anika: haa

Malika: toh challe?

Shivaay: let's go

Anika: lekin teh to batao ki hum kaha jaare hai

Malika: mall

Shivaay: safe hai na?

Malika: yeh shivaay don't worry

Anika: phir hum chutki ke liye kapre le sakte

Malika: challo

They all set out to a mall and go to many shops. First they go to the baby section

Anika: shivaay voh dekho

She runs to a white dress with pink flowers

Malika: god ani this is so cute

Shivaay: isme toh our baby will look like an angel

Anika: mali voh vaha matching cardigan bhi hai

Malika: mein leti

She literally runs and gets back with the sweater

Malika: haaayiii yeh toh bohot ki sona hai

Anika: yeh pakka leyenge hum, henna shiv

She looks at him and sees him lost in his thoughts

Anika: shiv

No answer again

Anika: shivaay

She snaps her fingers bringing him back to earth

Shivaay: haa

Malika: kaha kho gaye aap

Shivaay: anika India mein shayad sardi hoga naa toh warm kapre bhi lene hoga

Anika: oh haa mene yeh toh bhool gayi

Malika: aur baby ko warm rakhne hoga vese bhi thaki bhimaar na ho

Anika: toh kya leloo

Malika: ani vaha dekho ek sweater dress hai

They go and find a cute fluffy sweater dress which says "Daddy's Little Princess"

Shivaay: yeh toh perfect hai

Anika: bohot ki cute lagegi humari bachi

Malika: acha anika tumhare paas scarfs hai naa?

Anika: nahi

Malika: what do you mean by no babes

She was slightly confused

Malika: acha ese socho scarfs bohot ki stylish hai who knows how many ways you can rock them aur agar tum twwno bhaar gaye aur suppose bohot ki thand hai scarf use karle baby ke liye

Shivaay: nahi

Anika: shiv kyu nahi. Achi idea hai

Shivaay: nahi kyuki phir lagega ki vih jaari hai

Malika: stupid she can't go anywhere she won't be able to walk then anyways

Shivaay: matlab voh shaadi karke humko chodker jaayengi

There is silence between them then anika and malika begin laughing madly

Anika: shivaay voh aabhi pehda nahi hui aur tum uski shaadi ke baat kari hai

Malika: shiv mein ese scarf apne sir per penti lekin iska yeh matlab nahi hai ki mein shaadi kari

Anika: haa babes you've passed the age aab kaun tumse shaadi karenge

Malika: watch this

She makes a ishara signalling her eyes on anika and then walks up to a random America guy, probably in his early 30's

Malika: hey sexy, tell me one thing. If we were together, would you marry me?

The guy comes up to her and answers

Guy: anytime baby. If you want we can get married today.....

He slides his hand on her waist but earns a slap from malika

Malika: excuse me Imma tell your future girlfriend that you can marry any single girl in a second. Kutha kamina

Guy: excuse me English please

Malika: English my foot. Angrez ki aulaad. Sirf ek hi musibaat hai yaha renhe aur voh hai tum jese besharam ladke

She walks off

Guy: weird

He turns to go and is startled to see malika in his path

Malika: look I'm not weirs here okay you're weird. In fact no you are an angrez dokhe baaz okay

She keeps on defaming him and is Anika hadn't sent shivaay to stop her, that guy might have never been able to speak again

Anika: isi liye you're single

Malika: wow yeh right

Shivaay: acha hum aur shopping karte aur ek ek cheez late sab ghaar ke liye yaha se

Anika: good idea challe

They purchase more and more clothes for the baby and go on a short walk near the park. They notice a couple with a small baby playing

Anika: shivaay hum ese apne chutki ke saath khelenge okay

Shivaay: of course

Malika: aur India jaane ke baad mujhe maat bhoolo

Anika: we won't

Malika: mein kam se kam haar saal aaoungi tujhe milne ke liye

Anika: aur iss baar kahi Australia jaake gayab maat ho phir se

She chuckles

Shivaay: malika how come you don't live in india? You can still move back can't you

Malika: shivaay that place holds many bad memories for me. After school when i moved to Dheli i lost everything. I will go to india 12 times in a year if i have to but I will never live there

Anika: okay aab please senti maat bano i can handle every shade of malika but not the senti one please

She laughs at anikas response

Shivaay: acha challo ghaar now it's a bit late

They all return home
