All his nervousness piled up to thousands times on seeing her in pain.

Definitely I am going to pass out.

Keeping fingers crossed he rushed towards her.

He didn't what to say, but he rubbed her arms and wiped away her sweat.

"Almost there Shruti. Almost there" he said.

Shruti tried to calm at the voice. She was in no mood to know who was standing beside her.

All her concentration was on pushing the baby.

Finally both of them heard another scream.

Shruti smiled in relief and fainted on Viswa's arm.

"Shruti." he called out to her and patted her cheeks.

"Sir" doctor called him and asked him to cut the umbilical cord.

No! No! I can't!

"Sir, we need to do it fast." the nurse slightly pushed him towards the baby and made them to cut.

With hands shaking due to nervousness, he finally cut the cord and looked at the doctor. She smiled at him only then he relaxed.

Then she handled over the baby to him. He nervously took the baby in his arm.

His hands were shaking in fear, as soon as the baby was in his arm, his grip increased unknowingly. Never in his life had he held a baby. When the baby was placed on his arm, he securely held the baby and smiled at the baby.

"Girl baby." he smiled.

Soon the nurse asked for the baby so that they can clean.

They asked him to wait outside. He asked for Shruti asked she fainted, they said it happens during labour. She might wake up after few hours or so.

He needed some time to comprehend what happened in the delivery room.

Wow! He breathed out. Never had he thought that baby's birth would be this amazing. He still could fell goose flesh all over his skin.

After coming out he saw message from his department head asking about his whereabouts.

Sh!t! How did I forget about the customer issue?

He texted back that he was caught up in emergency situation and will be back soon. He waited till the maid could come.

Soon nurse brought the crying baby. As soon as he picked the baby, the baby stopped crying to which he grinned at her.

As he held her, he caressed the baby's nose and fingers.

When the baby wrapped her hand around his index finger, sudden jolt of electricity passed through him.

Tears welled in his eyes at this new connection he had with this baby. He kissed her forehead.

"You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen." he whispered. As if understanding his words, she shook her hands and legs.

He was mesmerized by her cuteness. Soon the maid came. After showing the baby to maid, he handed the baby to nurse.

As soon he handed the baby he felt void. His smiled also dropped. But he had some work to be done.

Giving the baby a look he went out but not before giving his number to the maid and informing her to call for any emergency purpose.

He rushed to office and started to fix the pending issues. By the time it was 3AM he delivered the product to the customers. Feeling so tired even going to his home; he slept on office table itself.

Next day he took leave and used the leave to sleep.

Later in the afternoon, he thought of calling Shruti but decided to visit them.

'The person you are calling is out of coverage area'

Tears were threatening to leave her eyes, when she got this as reply for the past 10 minutes.

Deep inside she knew her parents wouldn't accept the baby. But at the corner of her heart, she wished her parents would accept the baby. But expectation always can't become reality.

In her entire life she has been a doting daughter. She never did anything against her parents. When things didn't turn out the way her parents wanted, she was depressed. Not that she was angry on her parents. But she felt, that she couldn't handle this stress as she was always brought up in comfort zone. She wanted to break free from her comfort zone so that she had enough courage to withstand any stress in her life.

That's why she wanted to do this. Not once in this ten months, she regretted for taking this decision.

Sudden cry of her baby brought her attention to the little bundle of joy. She slowly lifted the baby and fed her milk while caressing the baby lovingly.

After feeding her, she smiled at the baby. When the baby smiled at her, she couldn't help but feel immense happiness.

At the moment, she couldn't think about her parents. The angel in front of her brought her the light to her lonely life.

"You are my everything." She kissed her baby's forehead.

Suddenly she felt someone entering her ward. When she looked up, she saw Viswa with fruits bag.

"Viswa! I am really sorry, I thought of calling you to thank for what you did yesterday. I was so tired that I couldn't even call you." She remembered yesterday's happenings. She couldn't thank god for bringing him at the correct time.

"Hey, no issues Shurti. By the way, how are now?"

"Bit tired. One look at her, I get my energy back." She grinned at him.

He chuckled. "May I?" he extended his hands to get the baby, to which she handled the baby to him.

"Don't be scared if she starts to cry. She cries like anything" Shruti remembered how the baby cried when her maid lifted the baby.

But as soon as Viswa held the baby, she smiled at him and wrapped her fingers around his forefinger.

Even Shruti was shocked at her baby's actions.

"Seriously, you are the second person she is not crying for holding her." She shook her head not believing the scene in front of her.

He laughed and cradled the baby slightly.

"She is really cute." He said looking at the baby.

"What to say, she is carbon copy of her mother." She winked at him. He looked at her amused.

"When are you getting discharged?" he asked her.

"Mostly before evening. Lakshmi has gone to talk about discharging procedure."

He nodded his head. As they were discussing about random things, baby started to whimper, suddenly.

Shruti was about to get the baby to console her. Before that Viswa stood up and swayed the baby and whispered softly to her baby.

Soon her baby started to calm down.

"What did you decide to name her?" he asked.

"Div..." She wanted to name her baby after her mother, Divya.

She looked at Viswa and remembered the way he helped her Yesterday. She will forever be grateful to him. If not him, she wouldn't have delivered the baby without any complications.

Least she could do is name her baby after him. Not exactly his name, she took starting letters of his name.

"Vidya." She told her.

"Ah, she will be studious like her name then"

She raised an eyebrow at him.

Seeing her questioning, you see he mouthed 'Numerology'

She shook her head amused.

"When are your parents coming?" he asked cradling baby slightly as he didn't want the baby to feel she is not center of attention.

On hearing silence as reply he looked at Shruti. She was looking down and tears were flowing from her eyes.

This was the first time he is witnessing her tears. Then only it striked him, her parents didn't accept her decision to keep the baby. He felt kicking himself for bringing that topic.

"They are not picking my calls." he sat beside her and squeezed her hand in comforting manner.

"They will eventually come. But don't worry about them. You have her." then he handled the baby to Shruti.

He stayed till she was discharged then he dropped them at her home.

Later in the evening, he got a call from his mother. Suddenly all mother sentiment songs started to run in his mind.

With a smile he picked the call.

"Ma" even though he was tired, he masked the tiredness by speaking enthusiastically.

"Why didn't you call me Yesterday and Today?" she asked.

"Sorry Ma, I went to hospital." I mentally made a note to call her daily.

"What? Hospital? What happened? How many times do I have to ask to drive slowly? Did you get hurt?" she started to panic.

He mentally face palmed for saying half information.

"Mom, mom. Nothing happened to me. A colleague of mine got delivery pain. She had no one by her side that time. So went to admit her."

He could hear his mom sighing sadly.

"If we had found a proper bride, even you would have had baby by now." his mother sobbed.

He sighed. If it was old Viswa, he would have got annoyed for reminding about his failed past. But now he brushed that thought. All his mother wished, is for his happy life.

"Fine. You take rest." saying that she cut the call.

Even after she cut the call, her words were repeating in his mind.

Even you would have had a baby by now.

Suddenly he wanted to call Dr.Sanchana. It has been nearly 9 and half months since he got last message from Sanchana, informing him about the using his sperm.

He called Sanchana. After few greetings, he asked the question for which he dialed her.

"Doctor, is my... Did the couple to whom I donated sperm gave birth to baby?" he corrected his first part.

"Nope. Not yet." she said curtly.

"Oh Okay." he wanted to ask her whether she will inform him soon after the baby is born, but he refrained from asking after noticing her tone.

Just as he was struggling how to proceed, Sanchana spoke.

"Viswa, it is better you don't think about the baby. The baby is in safe hands. That's all you need to know." she said strictly.

"I get it doctor." he mumbled.

"Don't take me wrong. I know you are single. At this time, with this baby details, you might get attached to the baby. I don't want you to build hopes on the baby which you can never meet. Then at later point you will be the one to get disappointed." She told him

"Umm, yes I understand." he tried to mask his disappointment.

Even though he was hurt, he can understand what Sanchana was trying to say. At the end he will only get hurt.

It is better to stop thinking about the baby. He thought, but when does our heart obey our mind?

********

On the other side, he hugged her from back.

"Why is my baby frowning?" her husband pecked her cheeks.

Sanchana sighed and told her husband about the donor asking about the baby.

"Come on, he was just asking whether the baby was born. You could have answered that right?"

She shook her head.

"The recipient is single. So she is very strict about her identity." She explained about Shruti's broken engagement to her husband.

"On the other hand, this donor, he is divorced. If I share details with him, he might get attached to the baby. Incase if he comes to know about the girl, he might confront her. Even though he seems genuine I don't want to take risk. Moreover he signed the agreement. According to agreement...," his wife started to speak about the rules and regulations.

Her husband rolled his eyes at his wife's strict policy.

"If I had been in your place, I would have played as cupid in their lives."

She punched her hubby's hand. "Seriously you are like him." Her husband knew whom she meant.

"What to do, playing as cupid runs in my blood." He stuck his tongue out playfully.

Sanchu shook her head at her husband. At the same time, she felt guilty for speaking rudely to Viswa.

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

Hi guys! Really sorry for updating after 3 weeks. Those who are following me would have known for my sudden disappearance. Actually my grandma passed away one month ago. I needed time to come out of that. By the time I came out of that, I forgot the story line I planned.

At one point I felt like giving up on the story. But I couldn't. So I started to type.

Really sorry for the break. I will update regularly. Leave this week, mostly from next week onwards there might be two updates per week as I am in mood to complete this story. My plan to end within April. I hope so. *fingers crossed*

Coming to this chapter characters, Vidya. Actually HHD readers would have known Divya character. Many of them are asking about Divya's rebirth. So while thinking one shot for her, this story came to my mind. So I started to cover Divya's birth in this. But my initial plan for Divya name was Vidya, but I couldn't type that character as residing in heaven as she was my wattpad friend. So I interchanged the letters V and D. But now I am continuing this story with Vidya and also updated the epilogue of HHD. Sorry for the confusion.
