Raichand Mansion.
Author's Pov,
A beautiful girl was sleeping on the bed carelessly, as she knew there was no one, who would disturb her.
There was a tiny smile gracing her beautiful lips, she was dreaming of the peaceful face of her husband who was holding their kid in his arms.
A small ray of sun peeked stubbornly from the slightly ajar curtains and fell on her face, troubling her peace.
She kept her palm to avoid it but more rays came and started to trouble her, at last, she groaned in frustration and opened her beautiful eyes, but it directly fell on the big photo frame of her husband which was hanging on the wall, the frustration which she was feeling earlier, ran away and a beautiful smile graced her lips.
She admired the extremely handsome man in front of her and stroked her six-month swollen belly, she slowly caressed it and said softly to her baby, "Are you missing Dadda?"
She giggled when she felt a quickening of her baby who moved in her tummy like he was answering his mother.
She stroked her belly softly and touched her matrimonial chain, she too was missing him, her smile widened and she said, "I am too missing him."
She slowly moved her eyes to her husband's Photo and got up from bed.
She wore her sleeper and moved towards it when she reached there she got up on the sofa and moved her lips towards his photo and was ready to kiss his lips but a throat clearing voice startled her and she quickly turned back, but she got imbalanced and was going to fall on her tummy but before that the person who came there handled her.
Both ladies were horrified as hell and were breathing heavily.
Amisha ( her husband's elder sister) who just saved her from falling shouted in anger, "Why do you behave recklessly Arya?...do you even know what would have happened if I hadn't caught you at the right time."
Tears fell from Arya's eyes thinking about the horrible consequence, her tongue got too heavy to utter a single word, her breathing was ragged, and when Amisha noticed it her heart thumped knowing that Arya was having an anxiety attack.
She caressed Arya's back and said soothingly, "Take a long breath Arya and try to calm down......look everything is ok..and everything will be ok...just calm down."
But when Arya didn't calm down, having no option Amisha said, "Should I tell about this to someone."
Arya quickly shook her head in no and hugged her tightly, she knew her great-grandmother-in-law-in-law-in-law in law will kill her if she got to know about her carelessness.
After fifteen minutes when her breathing calmed down, she said hopefully, "My baby will be fine Di."
Amisha caressed her hair and replied, "He is fine...look nothing happened to you....and if you still want we will go to the doctor"
Arya shook her head and replied, "I have exams in my college Di, and I already decided to go for sonography when I will be coming back home."
Amisha glanced at her with a tense expression and asked "Don't you know anything?"
Arya peeked at her with a confused expression and asked, "What I should know Di?"
Amisha glanced at her and replied, "You are something Arya..and there is no way Badi Dadi will permit you to go outside of the house today."
"Why?" Arya asked not knowing the reason behind her sister-in-law's negative words.
Amisha sighed and said, "Jayiye swagat ki tayyariya kariyein CM Sahiba...Aapke Pati chunav jit gaye hai."
It took one minute for Arya to understand what she said but when her mind registered those words a huge smile broke on her lips and she smiled wholeheartedly.
She caressed her tummy and told her baby, "Dekhiye aapke Papa Chunav Jit gaye."
Suddenly she felt a little movement in her belly, tears fell from her eyes and she said, "He too is happy for his father's success Di."
Amisha caressed her cheeks and replied, "He should. Because his father worked hard for this day."
Arya nodded her head, of course, she witnessed her husband's struggle in three years of their marriage life, she saw him working day and night, without taking a peaceful slumber, she glanced at her sister-in-law and asked, "Wo Kab Aa Rahe hai?"
Amisha glanced at her and answered, "Aaj raat tak Aajayenge."
Arya felt excitement waking up in her heart, and her cheek turned red remembering how she would face him.
She always blushes like a newly wedded wife, it will get difficult for her to even utter a single word without stuttering, and she always makes mistakes in nervousness and embarrasses herself in front of him, but this time she will try to avoid those silly mistakes.
Suddenly reality struck her hard and she said, "But what about my college Di, I can't miss it my exams are going on, and this is my last year so I can't leave them."
Amisha knew it but her Badi Dadi was Hitler of the 21st century, and she knew Reshma Raichand would not permit Arya to go out today, but then her eyes fell on Arya whose eyes were already filled with tears.
She knew the girl who was sitting in front of her was too fragile and would cry out at any moment, and an idea came across her mind, she cupped Arya's cheeks and said, "Look, I am staying here today....and I will help you to go out....but promise me you will come back before anyone will know it."
Arya's throat dried in fear, going against Raichand isn't something that anyone can do, she and Amisha both will get in big trouble after doing this and Arya was not ready to throw her sister-in-law in any trouble.
She kept her hand on her tummy and said in a scared tone, "We shouldn't do it Di, if Badi Dadi or anyone got to know about it do you know the consequence."
Amisha sighed and said with finality, "Look Arya if you want to go out I will help you...or if you want to fail in exams it's your choice."
Arya's expression tensed upon hearing her words and she quickly said, "I don't want to fail Di."
Amisha smiled and said, "So get ready to go...I will arrange everything...and come back before Krunal comes home."
Arya nodded her head and went inside the bathroom, but still, there was fear inside her heart, what if someone caught them, she brushed off all negative thoughts out of her mind and decided to get ready.
***********
After fifteen minutes Arya came back from the bathroom and glanced at herself in the mirror.
She was wearing a simple maroon-coloured loose kurti, which was not too much able to hide her pregnant belly but having no option she was attending college just for exams, it was her final year, and she was not ready to fail.
She applied normal face powder on her face and then a lip balm on her lips, and when she was satisfied with her look, she took her bag and dashed out of her bedroom, and towards the back door of Raichand mansion.
They weren't doing it for the first time, before this too Amisha had helped her and they never got caught but she is always like this scared kitten.
*************
Amisha glanced at the girl who was looking at her with nervousness and said, "Go now and don't forget to come back quickly... All the best for your exam."
Arya nodded her head and sat inside the car but her anxiety was not leaving her heart, still, she managed to bid bye to Amisha and closed her eyes trying to calm down her heart.
Amisha sighed in relief seeing the moving car and went inside the house, she turned to close the back door and when she locked it satisfied smile came on her face, but it didn't last long when she turned and her breath hitched in her throat, she gulped down the lump which formed in her throat after seeing her husband Purnit Das.
He was standing in front of her looking at her with suspicious eyes, and if he saw her sending Arya out of the house, she knew she was doomed.
************
"Today I Krunal Raichand won this election it is just because of the trust the public of this state showed in me, and I promise I will not break that trust In any case, The faith you showed in me I will not let it crack."
"My father Ishan Raichand died while serving this state and I too swear on God if it came my way I will not hesitate to engulf it with open arms, the work you gave me to serve this state, I will do it with honest intention and will not let any bad thoughts to overpower my mind, I swear on the constitution that I will do my work with honesty and sincerity, Thank you." Krunal finished his speech and joined his hand in the air with a huge smile on his face, but it didn't reach his eyes, maybe it was fake, with a last glance at the public, he came down from the stage and the security team quickly surrounded him till he went inside his car.
Krunal sat inside the car where his Sher Baba and Assitant Aadarsh were already seated, he took out the cigarette from his pant pocket and lit it up.
He glanced at his watch and saw that it was noon, he turned towards his assistant and asked in his raspy voice which was enough to send a shiver down anyone's spine, "Did you inform Dadaji about my arrival?"
"I did Sir." Aayush quickly replied.
"Mubarak ho Chhote Sarkar Chunav Jit gaye aap." Sher Baba said in appreciation.
A cunning smirk came on his beautiful lips and he replied, "Failure isn't an option Baba, Sabko Jitna padta hai, so I did."
Sher smiled upon hearing it, he saw Krunal's hardships from being a businessman to turning into a politician, and the young man seated beside him has the spirit to achieve world this is just a first step towards his dream.
