Pihu's pov:

So as per Eeshaan's wish, we went out shopping, and we bought baby cars and baby carriers, and baby utensils, we didn't buy any baby skin products as it still has time.

"My feet are hurting, let's sit down," I said softly.

"Okay," he said and we sat in the sitting area, we were sitting when a lady came towards us.

"How are you Eeshan Bhai, long time no see, tia is also coming back, finally the love birds will be together," she smiled and side-hugged him.

"Nishi, You are here, I thought you were in Pune, it's so good to see you, when did you come," he said and hugged her.

"Bhai, I came last week, and who is she," she asked him pointing at me.

"oh.. She..," he was saying and I cut him in between.

"I'm his relative," I softly smiled at her.

"Oh... Okay, so today sister and brother are shopping," she said making my heart sink deep inside the ocean.

"sort of," I said and she went away saying bye to him.

"Who says your husband, he is your brother," he bombarded me.

"she was Tia's friend, do you want to let her know like this, she will be so shocked, idiot," I glared at him.

"You are calling me an idiot," he asked with wide eyes, "let's go I'm tired," I dragged him out of the mall, truthfully, speaking I'm not feeling well about this incident.

"hello.. Yes, what.. Okay.. I'm coming," Eeshan was talking on the phone.

"What happened, is everything alright," I asked him.

"There is some emergency in the office," he said stunned.

"Okay, you go, I'll go with the driver," I said.

"But how will I leave you here," he said. "no, it's okay, you can go," I tried telling him, and he finally went away, I came back home, and it was almost night and Rehan also came back but he didn't come.

"pihu come have dinner, bhai might be late," Rehan came and sat next to me on the sofa.

"You know Rehan I feel weird, I feel like a homewrecker," I said.

"Why are you saying like this," he said.

"I'm stealing Eeshaan, from Tia," I said sadly.

"I don't think you are doing anything like this, maybe it's your destiny or his, God knows what it is," he said and smiled at me.

"look he also came back," he said.

"why are you still sitting in the living room," Eehaan said and sat next to me.

"Oh... We were about to have our dinner," Rehan said.

"hmm, I'll also come, I'll freshen up later," Eeshaan said and we all went to the dining area after dinner I came back upstairs and I went to the balcony, looking at the moon makes me feel miserable.

"it's cold outside what are you doing out on the balcony," Eeshaan's voice came from behind. Yeah yeah, it's the 20th of December, so it will be chilly of course but who cares.

"It seems like I can't spend time with you anymore," I said.

"what's wrong pihu, why are you saying this," he was stunned by my words maybe he didn't expect this.

"Haven't we agreed to set our boundaries, I have signed the contract, and after a few months I'll leave you, You love someone but now it's becoming harder for me to leave you, and to pretend I don't care," I cried maybe my pregnancy hormones are high on me today.

"Pihu how could you be so stupid," he yelled at me.

"I don't know if I will fall in love with anyone, again or not," I sobbed.

"If you won't be able to fall again, that wouldn't be great," he said and hugged me from behind, "Let's go and sleep," he said and made me lie on the bed.

"what about the divorce agreement," I asked him.

"That was the most stupid thing I have ever done, let's forget about that, let's have a happy life together," he said.

"What about Tia, she will be hurt because of me," I said to him.

"it's not because of you, if she will be hurt then it is because of me, 'cause I didn't tell her, I was hesitating," he said softly.

He was asleep but I was still awake, will he want me in his life, when tia will come back,

The next day I woke and made his breakfast and lunch, and he went to the office,

Because of him, I started to understand, marriage, love, and family though, and one day I'll lose all, I know.

Eeshan's pov:

"What... Ji ma.. I'm coming," mom told dad got an attack, and I feel terrified.

(Yes mom I'm coming)

We all were in the hospital and dad was in the ICU.

Rehan was consoling ma, which I also wanted to do but I can't I was not even in a state of mind to do anything.

"Eeshan... Everything will be okay, dad will be fine," pihu said I hugged her tightly, I only need her just now.

"You know, if anything will happen to him, I don't know what will I do," I cried I love my dad and I can't see him like this, it's really very difficult.

"Nothing will happen to him, we'll pray to God," she said and caressed my back, she wiped my tears also.

Her parents also came to the hospital, after sometimes the doctor came out and said, he is now okay but still he is under observation.

I felt relief, dad still hasn't woken up but he is now out of danger.

***

It's been three days and dad has been discharged from the hospital, and tomorrow is Christmas also, like every year, this year also we are going to the orphanage, it started with grandpa, whenever there was a festival we always give gifts to the orphan children.

This time I and pihu will be going there, as mom is taking care of dad. He still takes bed rest.

"pihu tie it for me," I gave her my necktie.

"but I don't know how to do it," she pouted I pecked her cute little pout, "okay, I'll teach you then," I said and wrapped the tie around her neck.

"When I was little dad taught me how to tie this and mom said my future wife would be tying, this for me, so it's important for you to learn this," I said to her and pulled her closer to me.

"Will you do it for me," I said and grasped pihu's chin and intimately kissed her sweet honey lips. Her lips parted slightly as I slid my warm tongue in. Our breath grew hectic as our kiss deepened. Within the quiet dressing room, the only thing that could be heard was the sound of our lips and breaths. I swallowed her plum-like lips while taking over the inside of her mouth. Her weak arms that held onto my shoulders trembled. After our enduring kiss ended, I lightly pecked her swollen lips. I trailed my pecks down to her neck when she said,

"I think we need to go now or else we'll be late," she was blushing.

we reached the orphanage, and we gave gifts to them, pihu was playing with the kids, one thing I get is she loves kids, and one day she will be playing with our kids it makes me smile thinking about this, personally, I don't like kids that much, but now something has changed, maybe I'm going to be dad, whatever it is it makes me feel happy.

"I miss school, I miss that every year,"Pihu said to me.

"out of a sudden, why are you missing school," I asked her.

"I studied at a convent school, the last working day of the school before Christmas vacations were always reserved for celebration, we prepare skits of the time when Jesus was born, and there was a dance and choir members prepared the Christmas carols, and there they had a huge Christmas tree in a corner all shiny and decorated with baubles, angels and stars. It was the prettiest sight of all. The whole school would be lit up and charmingly decorated in red and green, and we would never miss a chance to visit the church in our campus to just look at and go ooh and aah over the breathtaking décor, There will always be a prayer service with one song of Bethlehem, at the start of the Christmas celebration. The first program was by default the enactment of the wise men reaching the birthplace of Jesus. One of our teacher would always come up dressed as Santa and throw away sweets at the crowd of students standing by the stage. The song ‘Jingle Bells’ would be playing in the background all this while The day would end with you all going crazy wishing each other ‘Merry Christmas’ and ‘Happy Holidays!, happy new year," she said and I saw tears in her eyes while telling me her whole story of Christmas.

"oh, that's interesting, if you want we send our baby girl to a convent school, just like you," I said and she was so happy and she nodded happily.
