Naina was staring at her son's tiny feet and her son was suckling her n*****s, she held her tiny feet and kissed them with so much love.
"So, may I know how did you drench your bandages...?" Nathan asked, sitting on the chair near Naina's bed.
Hearing Nathan's question, once again Nell's thoughts appeared in her mind but she shook her head and came out of her thoughts, she looked at Nathan
"is it important for you to know?" Naina asked him, playing with her son's palm.
"I am not asking this question as your Doctor but as your friend..." Nathan said,
Naina closed her eyes, " I took shower? " Naina said,
"Why the hell you had taken a shower?" Nathan almost screamed at Naina.
Naina glared at him, " Keep your damn tone low, my son will get disturbed and starts crying..." Naina warns Nathan
"You knew your condition, Your waking up was nothing short of a miracle, yet you took a shower. Why?" Nathan asked, with frowning expressions.
He was curious to know, What had happened to Naina, that she took a bath without thinking twice about her condition.
"I chose my parents and responsibilities instead of my love, I left Nell, I have left his side when he needed me the most in his life,
I left him when he needs my love, support, and care,
I left him when he is alone, broken, and hurt,
I refused to escape with him, " Naina said, thinking about the time when she told Nell that she couldn't come with him because she couldn't hurt her parents and Justin.
Nathan raised his brow at Naina, " what was his reaction?" Nathan asked,
"Broken,
Shattered,
Hurt,
Betrayed,
Alone,
Dark,
Mad,
It's hard to elaborate, but when I was leaving he didn't say anything to me nor he had uttered a single word, he didn't even try to stop me or come behind me..." Naina said, fisting the bed sheet tightly in her palms and trying her best not to cry.
"Strange!!!" Nathan said, with one raised brow but Naina smiled so painfully,
Her smile was like as if someone put her body on the burning coal and asked her to smile.
"He was calm, but he was carrying a storm inside his chest, And I can feel the destruction of that storm inside me. The heat of his burning heart is burning my soul, his painful, swollen eyes are killing me, Nathan, I can't even, I can't even breath properly... I don't think, Nell's pain would ever let me live peacefully, " Naina said and turned her face in the other direction for blinking her tears but found Justin standing at the door.
Justin was staring at Naina for a long, and yes! he had been hearing her conversations with Nathan.
Justin and Naina didn't exchange any words with each other But kept staring for a few minutes.
Once Naina's son stopped sucking her n****e, pulling her n****e out of Theo's mouth, she buttoned her gown till her neck and removed the covers from her chest. She started staring at her beautiful son and put a soft kiss on his head.
"Leave us alone..." Justin said, coming close to his wife, and all the time his gaze was fixed on her.
Nathan got up from the chair and left the room after kissing Naina goodbye. Justin sat on Naina's bed but his presence around her made Naina very uncomfortable.
"Is everything I heard true...?" Justin asked, holding her palm in his but Naina tightened her grip on his palm and that stunned Justin because she wasn't expecting this kind of Affection from Naina.
"Whatever you heard was true, but I still need time to move on with you..." Naina said, releasing a heavy painful breath, staring into Justin's eyes.
Justin can't believe his ears, he turned his gaze from Naina and started staring at sleeping little Theo, who was sleeping soundly in his mother's lap.
"I am ready to help you to move on in life, I am ready to stay by your side, I am ready to hold you, care for you, and love you till death do us apart..." Justin said, with a smile on his face but Naina has no smile on his face.
Justin took her palms near his lips and started kissing her palms with so much affection and love.
At the same time, Nell opened the door and found Naina's hand in Justin's, then he witnessed the baby in Naina's heart.
Nell's heart started throbbing in pain & happiness, he felt as if his heart would burst, his mind would explode and his soul would come out of his mouth.
His son was looking so tiny and beautiful, his tiny fists are curled and glued to Naina's chest as a little panda hugged the tree, he was cute, chubby, and had a smile on his face.
Nell slowly moved towards Naina's bed, his son's lips are so pink and his cheeks are also glowing with a pink shade, his eyes are closed but still, his tiny legs are moving in the air.
Nell's eyes welled up with tears, he doesn't have words to describe his happiness, he can't believe he became a father of a baby, his tiny boy was looking so in Naina's lap.
Nell put his palm on his mouth to control his sobs, he doesn't want to spoil his son's sleep, he tried to touch his little son but due to so many emotions, he pulled his hand back and turned his back toward Naina, Justin and his son.
Naina and Justin were sitting quietly, they didn't utter a single word, but kept staring at Nell and his emotional condition.
Naina raised her hand to hold Nell, but soon she realized that she have no right to hold him, she has no right to say anything to him.
Naina turned her face and held Justin's palm tightly, her eyes once again became red and her nose became pink, she don't want to cry but it was getting difficult for her to hold her emotions.
After gathering all the courage, Nell turned around but before looking at his son his gaze fell upon Naina's grip on Justin's hand, his heart pierced brutally to see their hands intertwined with each other. He wanted to die,
He wanted the earth to swallow him,
He wanted God to destroy his eyes.
He felt as if someone was dropping acid on his heart drop by drop to kill him brutally.
But the moment Nell heard the sound of his son, he removed his gaze from their palms and looked at his tiny little miracle, the bundle of his joy and happiness.
Little Theo opened his eyes and started crying once again, Hearing his cry Naina left Justin's hand and was about to pick up her baby but before her fingers touched her son, Nell picked up his tiny treasure in his arms and glued him with his chest.
Nell was feeling Divine,
He was feeling as if he was on cloud Nell,
He felt as if he was flying in Sky,
This feeling, he can't express this feeling in words,
Little Theo stopped crying, the moment Kabir rocked him in his arms and smiled looking at him with teary eyes.
There are no words that can describe the euphoria you feel when your baby recognizes you for the first time and smiles and that was what Nell was feeling at this point because His son had been smiling and looking at his father.
Seeing his smile, Nell once again glued his son to his chest and started showering his kisses on him.
Nell had no energy in his legs, his legs were feeling like a Gelly, they were wobbling too badly, Nell knew he won't be able to hold his weight on his leg, so he slowly sat down on the floor and started crying bitterly looking at his son.
Nell wasn't expecting all this, till two days ago he had no idea that he had a son, he wasn't prepared to be a father but the moment he heard that he have a son, he promised himself that he'll become a good father for his son.
Seeing tears in Nell's eyes, Theo once again started crying, Nell doesn't know how to deal with Kids, he instantly wiped his tears and once again started rocking his son into his arms.
Theo stopped crying and started smiling at his father, Till now Nell was burning in Hell, he had no desire to Live but seeing the smile on Theo's lips, he got his reason to live his life.
Children bring us a piece of heaven on earth, and Nell got his heaven in the form of Theo.
Nell was staring at his and Naina's creation, he still felt as if he was in some kind of dream and soon his dream would shattered into tiny pieces.
Nell's eyes weren't getting tired to see his son, on the other hand, Justin & Naina's eyes were also not getting tired to see Nell's unconditional, undefinable affection towards Theo.
