In the car, looking at Viv, Ira gave out a chuckle.
Driving Viv asked "What?"
"Look at the speed. As such we will reach home only by dawn. "Ira exclaimed with a soft laugh.
"Pregnant lady on board needed to slow down. And what if you feel nauseous with me driving faster.
It's better this way." Viv defended.
"Mm.Hm.." she nodded. In her hand was a red rose, which she can't help but smell repeatedly.
When Viv came to her parent's house for dinner. He gave a bouquet of lilies to her mom. What she never expected was he placed a red rose in her hand and said: "For the beauty." in front of everyone.
Ira was familiar with gentle and caring Viv but a romantic one was a sudden surprise. He held her hands throughout the night.
"We have to go to the doctor. Can you take out some time tomorrow?"
Viv asked.
'Isn't this line mine' Ira thought
"Yes," she responded.
When they got home
"Do you feel anything different?" Viv asked curiously
"Like what?" Ira was confused.
"You know some movement or something," Viv said.
"Nope! it's too small yet, 5-6 months that's when I will feel the movement." Ira said.
He sat on sofa pulled her waist to him and kissed her tummy
"Kissing the baby" he explained and looked at Ira subconsciously waiting for her to push him away. Ira was still smiling.
"Baby made you soft Ira" he hugged her closely.
On her bed, Ira saw a full body pillow for her.
On the table were magazines related to pregnancy care.
In the bathroom was a rubber mattress to prevent slipping on the wet floor.
In the hallway, there was Nightlight
Installed to prevent accidental bumping into things at night.
Aww! He was so cute. She wanted to give him a kiss but was embarrassed.
She was lovely tonight. He wanted to give her a kiss but was not brave enough.
The night before sleeping Viv gave her a cup "It is ginger tea. No caffeine at night okay! It also helps morning sickness"
Like a good child, she finished it.
In their married life, they never fought with each other. They never even argued. Ira never nagged him or criticised Viv.
She just.... ignored him.
And he just.... obeyed her.
What does a strong woman or rather every woman need; Isn't it a man
who listens to her every command!
Ira already had such a man...But
They lived in their own space. Viv gave her time to open up but she never did.
'She didn't ignore me today.' Viv thought.
Without much hustle, their relationship was progressing.
Viv felt encouraged seeing as seeing the cold Ira with a soft smile.
Ira felt Viv was a bit different.
Surely, the baby was their trump card. They thought.
Its arrival changed them and their relationship.
The next morning Viv served her hard-boiled eggs "I know you love eggs, however, no poached or even scrambled eggs. No raw eggs in pregnancy that's what the books said."
Ira felt ashamed and then laughed at her own self. She made plans as to seduce Viv by her food and deserts.
A man's heart goes but the stomach she heard.
Yet he was still ahead of her winning her heart in a stroke by just a boiled egg.
Yes! Egg is her favourite food in the world. Easy to make, Easy to cook; still had 50 different style to cook.
'I have to do something urgently.'
Ira realized she never knew what he liked to eat.
Need more information. She knew the only source; his only relative, his mom.
