"I don't think so, I am sure next hour itself they'll forget everything." He said
"You are right, but I am feeling bad actually. That time I was feeling pain, and seeing their activities I just burst out, will ask sorry. Well I should ask sorry from you too." She said looking towards him guilty.
"No need to ask sorry from me, you first complete your food then you can set their moods too." He said
She nodded in yes, and he went into the room and bought plates.
In Muskaan's room,
She was sadly sitting in her room, and Shaurya was too. Books were open but their minds were somewhere else.
"Now they will not love us?" Muskaan whispered
"Don't know, but I think yes. Aunt always used to come for picking us but since the baby arrival news came she always became late and today she even not came." Shaurya said
"Yeah, and also Uncle now not take us for dinner he always gives excuses it's not good for the baby's health." Muskaan said
"You're right, and today she yelled at us." Shaurya sadly said
"Hmm, nowadays they even not spent time with us." She sadly said
On the other hand, Saira decided after cleaning the kitchen she would check on them, but till she went both were sleeping in their respective rooms. she smiled and caressed their forehead.
Later, it totally slipped from her mind.
Next day,
Saira awakened by knock, she rubbed her eyes and went for the opening door. without saying anything Shaurya entered and slept beside Abhimanyu.
She felt strange, but ignored thinking he might be feeling sleepy.
After a few minutes, she became freshened up and started her daily routine.
Muskaan silently came with the comb, and forwarded it to Saira.
"What happened?" Saira asked, taking the comb from her hands.
"Nothing." Muskaan replied, and silently sat.
She was feeling weird as unlike other days she did not do any drama, but not said anything.
Abhimanyu dropped them from school, and went to office.
Today too only Abhimanyu went for picking them as Saira needed to go to the doctor for check up.
Days were passing like this, day by day kids were going far from Saira and Abhimanyu. it wasn't like Saira or Abhimanyu were ignoring them but in this condition sometimes her health or mood swings not used to allow her to spend equal time with kids and Abhimanyu was also busy in taking care of Saira. and always running to doctor for check up with this his work too.
Kids weren't able to take this, in their minds a thing fixed up after the baby's arrival Saira and Abhimanyu will forget them.
Whenever Saira used to scold them, only things used to rotate. It wasn't like previous she doesn't use to scold them or slap them for their mistakes but now all things were different for them.
A fine day, 5th month pregnancy
Saira was cleaning the kids ' room, where she found their dairy.
"They are becoming careless." She muttered, and started checking dairy. seeing inside she became shocked, she missed two important activities in school.
"Why didn't they tell me?" She thought, and dial the teacher number.
From there she got to know, nowadays most of the time they remain gloomy and never participate in class discussion.
She called Abhimanyu, and asked him to come immediately.
"What happened Saira?" He asked to enter home.
She gave him a diary, and told him whatever she got to know.
"I too noticed it, but then thought it's natural." Abhimanyu said
"I don't know, it's natural or not but I think for once we should talk to them." She said, he nodded in yes.
In evening,
Shaurya was watching a football match while Muskaan was in her room making doll's hair plaits.
Saira closed TV, and sat near Shaurya while Abhimanyu went, and remained sitting near Muskaan but she was so busy in herself.
"Baby." Saira said
"Hmm" Shaurya
"You didn't tell me that I needed to come to school." She asked
"You have time? I tried to show you the diary but you were becoming late for going to the doctor for an appointment." He rudely said.
(You might notice Shaurya is a little bit impulsive.)
"I." She doesn't know what to reply to him, yes that day she ignored it as she already skipped two dates due to work.
"Not only this, now you even not come to pick me. and never make our favourites. Friends also do not take us anywhere saying it's not good for your baby and you always yell at us for small mistakes, before you don't use to do this. you're very bad. I know you'll soon leave me somewhere. the whole day you are just busy taking care of yourself so the baby does not face any problems. Due to the baby you forgot me. you call me baby then why you forget me? Am I not your baby now? You remember you promised mom you will always take care of me but you. I hate you." He sniffing said, and ran from there.
She was all numb with these accusations. She wasn't getting where she failed.
