I got a call from my mother in law when I am busily talking with my assistants. I have undertaken a government project a week before. I am going to contribute this profit to an orphanage. I didn't say this to Rithu, but when I say this she will be so happy.

I attend the call,

"Hello", before I could say further,

"Hello Vikram Rithu started to have labor pain", she said hurriedly.

"When?", I asked.

"Just now Vikram, you try to come quickly", she said.

"Hmm... I started and I will come quickly", I said hurriedly and ended the call.

I asked my assistants to manage the work for two days and quickly went to the airport.

Thank god I got a friend who's working as a chief officer in the Chennai airport, with the help of him I got a ticket. He said the ticket price will be high, but who cares about the price and all. I can give anything to see my wife...

After getting on the plane, I called my mother in law to ask how my Rithu is??

"She is in pain Vikram, but don't worry its normal, we are going to the hospital and I informed Lakshmi they said that they also coming there, don't worry we are with her", she said.

Hearing that I desperately wanted to see Rithu, and each second I felt so nervous. When this plane going to reach Coimbatore, I thought and I can't sit in a peace. I took my phone and messaged Raghav to come and pick me at the airport.

In this nine and a half months, two eighty days, I had only one thing in my mind that, I wanted my Rithu and baby to be healthy and this delivery should not harm them, if something happens then I can't live without them, I thought and placed my hand on my forehead.

You have to be strong Vikram you have to be, I mentally calmed myself.

God, I should have kept my Rithu with me or I must have stayed with her. What is she feeling now? she must be in pain and I am not with her now, I am sorry Rithu, I mentally apologized.

When the moment the plane landed in Coimbatore, I ran out to the entrance. Thankfully Raghav was waiting for me.

"Raghav I will drive the bike give the keys", I said cause I can't sit behind him in this state and add to that Raghav will always drive slowly and carefully. I am not in the mood to command anyone to drive fast.

Understanding my emotions, he gave the keys to his CBR 250R that he bought recently.

Its been a while I drove a bike, but I am very good in that, after putting the helmet, I drove fast to the hospital where Rithu got admitted. After twenty minutes of the ride, I reached the hospital.

"Vikram you drove like a professional bike racer", Raghav said when I stopped the bike cause minimum it will take about 45minutes to reach here but I drove in just 25minutes.

"Don't worry Vikram nothing going to happen to our sister in law and my little nephew, cause he/she must be strong like you.

Call me immediately after the birth, I will come quickly after finishing my work", he said and I nodded my head with a smile. I know he must busy cause my dad and his dad was here.

My dad and Raghav dad were waiting outside, when he saw me he came near me.

"Vikram you came, I am waiting for you", he said.

"Where is Rithu dad", I asked.

"Upstairs Vikram, come let's go", he said and we all walked up.

When I reached up, my mom, my in-laws, Riya and Raghav mom Where sitting and looked so worried.

I stopped and frozen when I heard Rithu's shouting. My heart just beating fast and my eyes welled with tears.

I wanted to go in and hold her hands, but they won't allow me.

"Vikram sit here," my mom said but I am not in the state to sit.

Then my mom insisted me to sit, then I sat in the chair beside the ICU.

As the time moves, Rithu's shouting increased more, I closed my eyes and prayed God, this is the second time I am praying god for my Rithu.

God please nothing should happen to my Rithu, I can't live without her, she's my ,

At last, she shouted in a high pitch, then I heard a baby sound. That moment I came back to this world. I immediately stood up and everyone gathered before the ICU.

Then after a few minutes, the nurse came out.

"Congratulations its a baby girl, mom, and child both were good", she said and walked to the other room.

That moment I felt my life, my soul came back to my body. I wanted to see them badly.

It's a Baby girl, I thought and smiled cause I wanted a baby girl. Even though I said that I don't mind about gender, but I personally wanted a baby girl like my Rithu. I didn't say this wish to anyone, especially to Rithu, cause she will feel if that didn't happen.

I thought.

Then after some time, the doctor came holding the baby in her hands.

"You're the father right??" I nodded my head looking at my life.

She gave my baby, my creation, and the precious treasure that Rithu gave to me.

I bought my baby girl in my hands, I looked And the feeling that I am having now is inexplicable.

My baby girl slowly opened her eyes and looked at me, I was astonished to see her eyes and I am awestruck cause The eye color was black and it's just like mine. (Rithu having brown orbs)

"Thank God the baby opened her eyes, I think she first wanted to see her father's face", the doctor said and I smiled hearing that.

My baby girl has my sharp nose and black eyes. Other than that everything was looking like my Rithu. I got what I wanted and my face plastered with a victorious smile. I felt like I achieved the biggest happiness of my life.

"Vikram the baby looking like Rithu", my mom said with a happiness filled face.

"No Lakshmi the baby looking like Vikram", my mother in law.

Ah god, this ladies......

My mom asked my little girl to hold. I gave my girl to her and went inside to see my Rithu.

"Rithu", I called her with the widest smile on my face.

She smiled when she saw me when I went near her. I kneeled in front of her and kissed her forehead.

"Is it paining my life", I said encircled her hands over.

"Yes but it's not a big deal, I thought about you and that made me e strong enough to withstand this pain", she said.

Hearing that I kissed her, now she is looking so beautiful to my eyes than before.

"Rithu have you seen the baby", my mom said and carried the baby in her hands.

Rithu tried to get up but I made asked to lay flat. I showed our baby girl to her. Rithu smiled and her eyes welled with tears.

Just getting old doesn't mean like you're turning into a man, marrying someone, starting a family, living for your kids and wife. Taking a good care of them with your earnings. Being a responsible citizen of your country and contributing something to your society is what you're turned into be a real men. Thanks for making me responsible Rithu. Without you I am nothing and I understood that now, I mentally thought and smiled looked at my world. Yes, these two are my world.

It was a nice evening time, Rithu was playing and talking with her baby girl. And Vikram was busy with his work.

They named the baby as Ananya, and the name was suggested by Vikram. Vikram, for this past three months taken a great care on Rithu, and he didn't want to separate from his baby girl, so he bought both of them with him after a month of stay in Rithu's house. Even he went for his work, his thinking is all on Ananya. He is enjoying to see his baby actions, and totally he was happy to be a father.

"Vikram please hold for a minute, I will prepare a coffee for you", I said and gave my little girl to Vikram and went to the kitchen.

After preparing the coffee I came out with the cups. Vikram protectively holding and talking with her something. I placed the cups on the table. When I went near them he immediately stopped talking.

"Ananya what you're talking with your dad", I asked her.

"it's secret Ananya you should not Tell that to your mom", Vikram said and I smiled.

We both have turned into a small kid, we are playing with her and talking baby language. I totally forgot that I am 25.

"She slept", I said whispered and brought her in my hands and placed her in the cot that Vikram specially bought for her.

I took the cup in my hands and started sipping the coffee.

Vikram sat beside me.

"Is it still paining", he asked.

"No I am alright", I said.

He took my legs in his hands and placed on his lap and started massaging, "Vikram I am alright please leave my leg", I said.

"I know what I am doing", Vikram said and pressed my legs gentle.

I looked at him mesmerizingly, am I in this world or it is real. I don't know what I did to get a husband like him but I am really really grateful for him for taking this much care of me.

"I love you", I said and quickly hugged him.

"I love you too Rithu", he said and hugged me back tightly.

"Thank you Vikram, I never thought that I will get a life like this", I said.

He didn't say anything and patted my shoulders, I pulled out from the hug and looked Vikram. He smiled and kissed my lips gently.

"You know what Rithu, I am nowadays having a lot of pressure on me, the work giving a lot of stress, but when I think about you, everything is vanished from my head and peace filling my soul.

Who can give this to me, only you who made this kind of peace in me? And now our little girl is my world, you are the reason for everything Rithu. For giving me all this I can serve you lifelong", Vikram said looking at my eyes.

I smiled and hugged him.

"There's nothing that can replace you Rithu cause you're my world", Vikram said and hugged me tightly.

That night after having our dinner, I and Vikram started to play with our Ananya. She's looking a lot like Vikram and little like me. When she was in her dad's hand, she won't cry and smile a lot. I know she's dad's little girl.

"Ananya what secret your dad said to you, please tell me dear", I asked Vikram like asking Ananya.

Vikram looked at me, he came near me near leaving his work behind.

"OK can we say the secret Ananya", he said and took Ananya in his hands.

"I am loving your mom more than anything in this world and I am nothing without you both, that's what the secret is!" He said and I hugged him on the other side of his shoulder.

After playing and talking they slept peacefully.

Life is not going to end here and I don't know what's going to happen in the future, but I am living each and every second with a lot of joy and happiness, this is enough for me... What a girl going to ask more than this, a fantastic husband who's taking care of me like my mother, a cute little girl looking like an Angel, thanks for giving me this life god, thanks for everything, I thought looking at them and smiled. I closed my eyes and the sleep engulfed me.........😊
