In the hospital ...

" I want to go back." Radhikaa muttered with teary eyes.

" You just came in the morning Ruby. We'll call him, if you want." Her mother mumbled.

"No mumma. I need to go." Radhikaa was adamant.

"Let it be Rupali. I'll book the flight tickets." Aakash, Radhika's father muttered.

" I'll go with her then." Rupali, Radhika's mom chipped.

"No mumma... I'll go myself." Radhika stated.

With in few hours, Radhika was all set to travel back to Mumbai.

"Shall I inform Rihaan that, you are coming there?" asked Aakash.

" No Baba! I'll call him. " She mumbled and boarded the flight.

Rihaan went back home and was busy calling her for umpteen times and fell asleep.

It was in the evening, Radhikaa called him. Rihaan woke up with a jolt and attended the call.

"Hello! "

"Hello, Ruby..." muttered Rihaan.

" Hmm ..."

" Ruby, are you alright? " He quivered.

" Hmm..." She was sobbing...

"Ruby, are you crying? What's wrong? I'm worried damn it! You could have called me at least" he retorted with glistened eyes.

Radhikaa was trying hard to control her tears. She couldn't speak anymore.

"Ruby? Can you hear me? Why aren't you speaking?" He was worried.

"Rihaan, I'll reach soon." She mumbled and cut the call.

Rihaan went numb. Why is she coming back so soon? Is she alright? Is anything wrong? All these questions started shaking his thought process.He was pacing in the room like a lunatic and just then, She came home.

"Rihaan!" she hushed and collapsed in his embrace.

"Ruby... Why are you crying? " He spoke, caressing her hair.

" Rihaan, I'm... actually you..." She was trying her best to speak, interrupted by hiccups.

"Han, You? Me?"

"Rihaan, You are going to become a dad." She told it in his ear, hugging him tight.

"What!" he couldn't believe...

"Yes! We are going to have our baby in a few months." She mumbled, with teary eyes.

"This is a great news Ruby. Why are you crying then?" he asked.

"I don't know. I missed you." She mumbled.

"I missed you too, why did you go Ruby?" He chipped.

"I was angry at you. You didn't even stop me, when I was leaving the house." She complained like a kid.

" You were in no mood to hear me Ruby. You know that, I can hardly express myself." He justified.

"You should have stopped me and made me listen you then." She said, wiping her tears.

" I was the one to call you first. You haven't even thought of me," he faked anger.

"I was mad at you. It's your mistake," she pouted.

"Yeah! It's my mistake, but you need to correct me. You punished me so easily. I can't even stay for a few hours without you Ruby." He muttered, holding her face, eying into her eyes.

"I was almost like a maniac. I couldn't concentrate on anything else. It's just impossible without you." He spoke his heart out, which made her smile.

"I'm sorry." She mumbled, engulfing him in a hug.

"I'm sorry too." He muttered, with a smile.

" Rihaan... It's my gift for you." She crooned, placing his hand on her tummy.

"Thank you Angel. You brought my Ruby back." He murmured, caressing her tummy.

"It isn't Angel. It's going to be a Champ" she muttered happily.

"No... She is my Angel." He mumbled.

Their happy fight went on for a few more minutes...

"Ruby, I think we need to call mom and dad to inform this happy news." He was elated.

"Yes. I'll call them." She was overjoyed and went to call them, while Rihaan called Rubys parents and informed them about the safe arrival of her.

Finally, his Ruby came back with an extra happiness. Rihaan was more than happy with the news. She brought a greater package of joy this time. A happiness, which they truly wanted, a happiness that makes their family a complete one. That happiness which brings the lost solace in their life. It's their baby.
