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.
Sleep is coming in the eyes of my baby. Let my son sleep!
