Dharani POV
*************
Two weeks later ....
I spent another two weeks in the hospital. I finally snapped at Akash. I want to go to home. Exactly a
week later, I was discharged. I thank god for rescuing me for the hospital torture.
The outside of the house was decorated beautifully with colorful balloons, ribbons and other decorative
materials and everything looked very pretty.
A red carpet was at the entrance and flowers were scattered everywhere.
We thanked Ritika and brother for such a lovely arrangements. Dad thanked me for fulfilling his dream
of holding his grandson in his hands. He presented a gold chain to our baby.
Shanthi maa did aarati of me and baby. Shanthi maa told me that when I came for the first time, I
brought happiness in their lives and now I gave more happiness to this house.
Avinash brother teased Akash, saying that no one is praising the baby's daddy. We all laughed heartily.
We went inside the house with our baby. The interior was decorated very elegantly. Akash thanked
them for their effort.
We went to our bedroom. I saw so many things for our baby. Toys, new cupboard with cute dresses
and other necessary things for our baby. I smiled.
Akash asked me "I hope you like it angel."
"I love it Akash. And of course, our baby too loved it. Am I right baby boy?" I asked our son and he
smiled cutely.
Shanthi maa came with a wooden baby cradle swing. It looked very beautiful though it is an old
traditional model. Maa told me that this is the wooden cradle swing of Akash.
I placed my baby safely in the swing and lulled him to sleep sensing his tiredness. Suddenly Akash
carried me in his arms and placed on bed. He kissed my forehead.
"Angel, tomorrow is our baby boy's naming ceremony function" Akash told me.
"Akash, did you select any name for our baby?" I asked him.
"Yes!" He smiled at me.
"Really? What name that you selected for our baby?" I asked him.
"Surprise!!" He smirked.
"Akash this is not fair" I told him narrowing my eye brows. He laughed at my expression.
"Please angel let's don't talk about name. Tomorrow I will tell you" He said, while giving his puppy dog
face. I nodded my head at him 'OK'.
"Akash, from today onwards, we won't make love to each other till 3 months" I told him.
"I know angel. The doctor strictly told me, no sex for 3 months" he said and looked at me
mischievously.
"But I am allowed to do this" he smirked. Before I ask anything, he crashed his lips on mine. I always
wondered what stories meant by melting in a kiss. But now I completely understood, dissolving into
Akash's lips. The kiss goes on, our lips moving in perfect sync. The kiss became more passionate by
the second and the world seemed to disappear around us.
"Please don't ever leave me angel" he whispered against my lips. I'm breathing heavily.
I quietly murmured "I love you Akash and I will never leave you and our baby because you both are my
heartbeats" I said and hugged him tightly. We drifted into sleep in each other's embrace peacefully.
After some hours...........At 2:30 am..................
I heard our baby boy crying. I jerked up and opened my eyes opened immediately.
I went to his cradle swing and saw my baby boy eyes full of tears, his lips trembling because of crying. I
held him tightly to my chest. I fed him breast milk thinking he's hungry but he didn't stop crying. I want
some help. I looked at Akash sleeping peacefully.
Reluctantly I shook Akash, "Akash" I called him loudly and he jerked up and sat on the bed. He looked
here and there, panicking. I feel so bad to wake him up like this.
"What happened Angel? Why is my baby boy is crying?" he asked me worried.
"I don't know Akash, please help me. I'm afraid. He's continuously crying" I told him worried. He held
our baby in his arms and started consoling him.
"Shhh. . My dear son! I can't see your tears, so please don't cry my baby boy. Your dad is here right?
Then why are you crying? Look at me" he said making funny faces. Akash even started humming some
sweet melodies and my baby cry stopped.
So my baby wants a lullaby song? I smiled.
"Akash, sing some lullaby for our baby" I told him.
He started singing a lullaby song for our baby boy.
Hey moonlight, please go and hide for sometime. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Sleep is coming in the eyes of my baby. Let my son sleep!
I'll put you to sleep in your mother's lap.
Here two lives merge to form one life.
That one life is you, my baby boy.
With the movements of your tiny hands,
My world seems to move. Oh, Go to sleep my precious baby.
With a single beat of your heart,
You hold my life time. Oh, Go to sleep my little heart beat.
He finished his song and my baby slept peacefully in my lap. I blinked my tears and smiled when my
baby boy had finally stopped crying.
I looked at Akash and he smile at me. I slowly placed my baby in the center on our bed. But he
suddenly stirred in sleep. So I cooed in my baby's boy ears and patted his tiny arm gently and he was
back to asleep. Akash and I laid on our side and drifted into sleep.
Morning_________
Bright sunlight hit my face. I opened my eyes and smiled seeing my baby boy lying in between us.
Akash thumb was wrapped by his tiny fingers as he held Aaksh hand gently. My heart swelled in
happiness seeing the father and son like this.
I shifted closer and touched his tiny hand, kissing his fingers one by one. I took my mobile phone and
clicked selfie with my baby boy.
I kissed his forehead and slowly went to washroom and took a bath. I got ready in red saree.
Then I went downstairs to see our whole mansion decorated beautiful. I saw shanthi maa yelling at
someone as they were not bringing the puja items on time.
"It's my grand son's naming ceremony today and you forgot to bring those items!" Maa yelled at him.
"Calm down Maa" I said keeping my hand on her shoulder.
"Maa, first you go and get ready. I will manage everything" She nodded and I started arranging the
pooja items properly. After shanthi maa getting ready she came down and we took a few selfies.
After few minutes, Akash came downstairs holding my baby boy in his arms safely. They are looking
fresh and neat. I think Akash changed my baby boy's dress.
He is looking so cute and adorable in his pink suit. Guests started arriving one by one. Ritika and bhai
started playing with my baby boy.
"Panditji is here. Now it's time for the naming ceremony" Dad announced.
The naming ceremony begins. Pandit ji did some rituals as Akash and I sat together holding our baby
boy in my lap.
"Decide a name and whisper in the baby's ear thrice" pandit ji told us.
Akash took our baby in his hands and whispers in his ear "Daksh! Daksh! Daksh!" He said it thrice in
our baby's ear.
Finally, he disclosed the name chosen by him.
Daksh.
"What does it mean, Akash?" Ritika asked.
"It's a combination of Dharani and Akash. But the original meaning of Daksh is five paths, i.e., Fire,
Competent, Wise, Clever and Skillful."
"He's not only our son but also a precious gift of the Creator's light, a pure soul. My baby boy is freshly
arrived from heaven for us. He's our soul, he's our bundle of joy and he's my pride DAKSH
MEHRA!" Akash announced proudly.
I looked at him while happy tears flowing down my eyes. Everyone clapped and said Akash selected
beautiful name for my son. I made my Daksh sleep in his cradle as all showered him, one by one, with
their gifts and blessings. The naming ceremony is over and we completed our dinner together with our
family. After everyone left, we went to our bedroom. Akash laid Daksh in his cradle and came back to
bed. I rested my head on his chest.
"You know Akash, in my childhood all my days seemed dark and lifeless. My life seemed so hopeless. I
had no purpose to live. It was almost nonexistent. But that was before I met you.
You are my heart, my soul, my love, my saviour and my husband. You brought light in my life. You
made my life colourful with your love. You are my sole reason for my existence. You are like a bliss to
me. I love you Akash.
Thank you for loving me so much, thank you for staying by my side, thank you for all the special things
you do, thank you for being the reason I smile. Thank you for always catching me when I fall, for being
there through the thick and thin. Thank you for helping me through all those tough times in life. Thanks
for giving me a beautiful son. Thanks for giving me an amazing family. Thanks for everything!" I hugged
him tightly.
"You no need to thank me Angel. In fact I have to thank you for showing me that there are innocent
people like you in this world. I thought I was all alone, until you walked in my life. Thanks for coming
into my life angel. Thank you for accepting me in all ways, making me a good person. Thank you for
being my rock, my support. Thank you for being understanding, thank you for being patient, kind and
forgiving. Thank you for accepting me. Thanks for making me dad. Thanks for giving me family. But
most of all thank you for loving me like no one else ever had or ever will!"
We looked into each other's eyes. He leaned in a little closer and captured my lips. My heart fluttered
and my whole world fell away. The warmth of his kiss spread throughout my body like a bliss. There is
something so heavenly in this kiss. It is a burst of out true love, our passion and desire for one another.
I experienced heaven in this kiss.
When we broke apart for air, I rested my forehead against his and gathered some needed oxygen. He
smiled me and I smiled back.
"I love you Akash" I told him sincerely.
"I love you more my angel" He hugged me and we drifted into deep sleep peacefully.
Thank you god! Thank you for everything!!
