Maya slowly opened her eyes, as she heard the cries of the baby. She sat on the bed and checked his diaper and found it heavy. She got down off the bed and picked him up in the arms. She saw Aashi, Surya and Avi in the kitchen along with the worker.

She made her way towards the kitchen and asked, "Surya, did you bring his diapers, and what about his feed?"

"Wait, I'll get you", said Surya.

He gave diapers to Maya and took the baby milk powder with him. He boiled the water and mixed the powder with measurements. He let it cool down and poured it in his bottle. Meanwhile, Maya cleaned him with a soft towel and changed his diaper.

She fed him milk and made him burp. She patted him, and he slowly drifted into deep slumber. She made him sleep on the bed and put pillows around him.

She came and sat on the couch by leaning her head back. Avi brought her food and was feeding her.

"Where is Sravya?" Asked Maya, while having her food.

"She is sleeping in the other room. She came to the hospital early in the morning. So I told her to take rest for some time", said Surya.

"Oh! Did she eat anything?" Asked Maya.

"She just had a sandwich from the hospital canteen and a cup of coffee", said Surya.

Maya nodded her head and said to Avi, pushing the plate, "I'm full, Avi. I can't eat more."

"Okay, you sit here, I'll get you water", saying that, Avi left to the kitchen.

He came back, cleaned her mouth and gave her water. Surya sat there adoring them.

"You go and sit with the baby. We will have our food. Don't sleep, you have to take your medicines, okay", said Avi.

Maya bobbed her head cutely, and moved to the bedroom. Avi went to wake up Sravya.

Four of them were having their dinner, when Pranav barged inside.

"Where the hell is your mobile, Surya? I've been calling you from morning", shouted Pranav.

"Sorry, battery is dead. I've just kept it for the charge", said Surya.

"Do the hell with your Sorry, man. Kishan sir just called me now. He was saying that, he saw you in the hospital with a baby and a girl. He is asking me, is it your baby? If yes, how come you have a baby when you aren't married. He told me to meet you in his cabin, tomorrow. You know about him, right. He is just waiting for the opportunity to put a black mark on you", said Pranav.

All of them stopped eating, listening to him.

"I don't understand, what is his problem, man? Why is he always behind me?" Said Surya, groaning in frustration.

"At what time did he call you, Pranav?" Asked Aashi.

"An hour back, he said that he saw him, while leaving the hospital", said Pranav.

"Then the problem is solved. You can tell him that he is our baby. You just tell him that you and Sravya came along with us, simple. He wouldn't get even a single information from the hospital. And if he says anything more, just tell my name", said Avi.

"Woah! That's a great plan, anna. And moreover he doesn't have any right to enquire about our personal information. So, one problem is solved for now. And we have another one to deal with", said Aashi, getting up from the seat.

Just then, Maya came out of the room with a crying baby in her arms.

"Can't you just talk slowly, idiots? See how is he crying?", She shouted, cooing the baby.

Sravya immediately washed her hands, and took the baby in her arms, and sat on the couch. She cooed him and patted him slowly, talking to him in baby language, making him calm down. Pranav looked at the scene wide-eyed.

"Did he just stop crying like that?" Asked Pranav.

"Yeah! And you idiot, stay away from my baby. See, how he got afraid listening to your irritating voice", said Surya, going near Sravya and the baby.

He sat behind them, and was making funny faces at him. Baby was looking at him without averting his gaze from him.

"They look a perfect family, bhaiyyu", said Aashi to Avi.

Avi nodded his head and silently captured their photo.

After sometime, Avi left to the office after giving instructions to Maya.

Maya was baking a cake in the kitchen and Surya was helping her. Sravya was with the baby. Aashi dragged Pranav to a room and locked the door.

She placed her hands on her hips and looked at him, narrowing her eyes at him.

He smiled nervously, looking at her and asked her, "Why did you drag me here?"

"Did Surya love someone?", Asked Aashi.

Pranav gulped and nodded his head positively.

"Who is she?" Asked Aashi.

Pranav shifted in his place uncomfortably and said, "Umm, I can't say that."

"Then should I tell Suhaas about Siri?" Aashi asked, trying to blackmail him. And of course, she got succeded in that.

"Umm, no. I'll tell you, but don't tell Surya about this", said Pranav.

Aashi nodded her head and gestured him to continue.

"It's Maya. She was his crush from the school days and soon he fell for her deeply. But he has shut his feelings down, as Maya has feelings for Avi anna", said Pranav.

Aashi nodded her head, they talked for some time and left to the kitchen.

******************

A lot has happened within this week. Everyone has accepted the little munchkin wholeheartedly and showering him with all the love. They conducted his cradle ceremony, and Sravya had named him after his parents (Dharani + Akash). It's a small affair within the family. Sravya and Surya have applied for his adoption. And they are going to tie the knot soon, in a week. They decided to have a simple wedding in the temple.

And Maya is the most excited soul of all, as her bestie is going to marry her soul sister. But her happiness didn't last long, as she was given complete bed rest much to her irritation, as everyone came to know about her health. They are not even letting her put her feet down the bed. Avi is working from home at present, as he was getting nightmares frequently. Though everyone has assured him that they will not leave Maya alone and take care of her, he is adamant with his decision.

The outhouse transformation work is going on. They have appointed two bakers and also another helper as the orders are increasing slowly, after doing a proper background check. The security around their houses got increased. Even the security around Rajesh is increased and his every action is sectrely monitored. They hired a PI to know about Aashi's parent's murder, and Janardhan is using all his connections to solve the mystery.

Now let's see what our couple is doing.

Maya was cuddling Avi and sleeping happily. But she got up with a jerk and rushed to the bathroom. She threw up everything and stood there holding the sink cabinet, feeling weak.

Avi brought salt water and gave it to her. He rubbed her back and kissed her head. He picked her up in his arms and put her on the bed and lied down beside her. He called through the intercom and asked the butler to get some fruits and lemon water for her.

Maya fell asleep after having fruits and lemon water. Avi did his morning chores and went to hit the gym. He saw Arjun doing his workout and joined him.

They were doing their workout when Maya entered the room, making a crying face. Seeing her, Avi put his weights down and cleaned his sweat with a towel.

She hugged him tightly and asked, "Why did you leave me alone on the bed?"

"I thought you had slept", said Avi.

She raised her hands and gestured to pick her up. He obliged her, picked her up in bridal style and moved out of the gym room, making Arjun chuckle at them.

******************

Avi made her sit on the sink cabinet and handed her brush and paste. She opened her mouth and gestured him to brush her teeth. He smiled at her antics and brushed her teeth and washed her face. He filled the tub with luke warm water and told her to bathe. But she held his hand, making him groan mentally.

Both of them came out of the bathroom in bathrobes. He made her sit on the bed and dried her hair. He went to the closet and wore his clothes. He picked an outfit for her and saw her playing with her hair. Soon both of them got ready and moved down.

She moved to the puja room and joined the ladies. After that, everyone sat to have their breakfast. Vani served aloo poha in Maya's plate. Maya scrunched her nose looking at it and made a face.

"I don't want this", Maya said, pushing the plate.

"But you like poha, right?" Asked Avi.

"I used to, but not now. I want to eat pesarattu-upma", she said, licking her lips and with a dreamy look.

"Anna, please make it for me na", Maya asked Arjun, making a puppy face.

"Don't we have to soak moong dal first?" Asked Avi, making a confused face.

Maya made a crying face, listening to him, and burst into tears.

She hugged Arjun who sat beside her and said, "Anna, take me away from this man. Morning he left me alone in the bed, then he didn't let me pick his outfit, now he was mocking me", Maya said, hugging Arjun who sat beside her. "He doesn't love me anymore."

Avi looked at her wide-eyed and shouted, "What the hell?"

"See, mavayya how is he shouting at me in front of everyone? I think he loves that new team leader, who is working under him for the new project", she said to Shekar, glaring at Avi.

Avi immediately stood up and said, hugging her, "Why would I love someone when I had my beautiful bunny?"

"Then why didn't you give me my morning kiss?" She asked, sniffing cutely and rubbed her nose on his shirt.

Everyone is trying hard to control their laugh, looking at them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, everyone close your eyes, please", saying that, he placed his lips on her soft ones.

She pulled him close to her, by encircling her hands around his neck, while he put his hands around her waist. Soon, he broke the kiss when he felt she couldn't take more.

He dropped a kiss on her head and said, "You guys can open your eyes now."

Maya slapped his hand and hugged him, feeling shy. Everyone chuckled, looking at her face.

Arjun went to the kitchen to make pesarattu-upma for his sister. He cleaned and soaked moong dal in warm water. In the mean time he started to prepare upma. Finally, he served her hot pesarattu-upma in a plate and placed it in front of her.

Maya licked her lips looking at the yummy breakfast and happily had it.

(Pesarratu-upma)

"It's yummy, anna", she said and gestured him to bent down.

He kneeled down beside her chair, while she kissed his cheeks and said, "Baby is saying, thank you mama."

Arjun smiled at her antics and kissed her forehead.
