Kuch Toh Hai Tujhse Raabta — SHRENAL OS

Kunal’s POV:
I looked down at Shrenu who was all wrapped up in the blanket and hugging me tight as she slept. She was looking so cute like a little panda with the messy hair and all from our kissing session – ok fine our love making session – a few hours ago. I couldn’t be ask to wake her up because she looks so cute and also she might get really annoyed with me which is not always good. Especially now that she is pregnant.
Kunal’s POV ends.

No one’s POV:
Slowly Shrenu fluttered her eyes opened and saw Kunal just staring at her with love.
Shrenu: Kunal, time kya hai?
Kunal: only 4:20am.
Shrenu: then why are you still awake?
Kunal: because you look so cute when you are sleeping jaanu.
Shrenu smiles and says: anyway I am really hungry.
Kunal: oh so now my princess is hungry.

Shrenu knew who was being referred to as princess and slapped his shoulder lightly saying: no, it will be a prince. Now please make me brownies.
She finished her sentence with the puppy eyes and pout.
Kunal knew that she was kind of moody since she woke up in the middle of the night so saying ‘no’ sounded like danger.
He kisses her forehead and says: ok jaan. I will make you brownies. Anything else you and our child want?
Shrenu shooks her head.
Kunal: ok, I’ll be back in a minute.
He kisses her forehead then her baby bump and then he goes.

Kitchen:
When Kunal entered, his brothers Sanjay and Satya were already in there, eating some food.
Kunal: and you guys finally came.
Satya: hey! It is a long journey from Hyderabad to Mumbai. So we have all rights to eat at this time.
Kunal: hmm. Sounds like you had food during your journey but I am in no mood to find out whether you are lying or not. Just don’t eat the jalebis dad made for Shrenu.
Sanjay: you mean these jalebis?
He shows him the box which earlier contained 25 jalebis (what? Jalebis are bae) and now contained only 5 jalebis.
Kunal: you idiots! Dad said that this was only for Shrenu and our child.
Sanjay: how were we supposed to know? We were out all day.
Kunal: leave that. I need to make Shrenu brownies and clearly I can’t because you two are duffers by birth! Bhagwan, why am I the only sensible one here?
Satya: because Shrenu bhabhi controls you.
Kunal: shut up Satya!
He starts to gather the ingredients for brownies as Sanjay and Satya continued eating some more food – not including the jalebis.

Meanwhile:
Shrenal’s room:
Shrenu was waiting for Kunal, trying to get some sleep but one, the baby was kicking her non-stop and two, she can’t sleep without Kunal by her side.
Shrenu: Kunal is taking forever. Maybe I was a bit hard on him.
She keeps her hand on her baby bump and says: chalo baby, let’s go to papa.
She carefully stands up and she walks very slowly to the kitchen downstairs.
Kitchen:
Kunal: now where is the nutella?
Voice: in the cupboard.

The boys turn to see Shrenu smiling.
Kunal: arre Shrenu, you should be upstairs, resting.
Shrenu: so? I was just checking how you all are and oh! I see my devars are back from their day trip. Did you bring me anything?
Satya: yes bhabhi, we got you lots of things but see them later.
Kunal: did you guys get me anything?
Sanjay: it’s not always about you!
Kunal: sorry!

Shrenu: so you just started making the brownies.
Kunal: I had to sort out these idiots first.
Shrenu: hey don’t call my devars idiots.
She goes to her devars and side hugs them until her eyes caught the sight of the jalebi box with only five jalebis left…
Shrenu: Sanjay, Satya? Why are there five jalebis left in the box?
Sanjay: we don’t know.
Shrenu: you both ate them na. You both are really idiots. Kunal was right.
She let out a few tears and goes to Kunal, hugging him tight.
Satya: sorry bhabhi, we didn’t know.
Sanjay: yes bhabhi. We are very sorry.
Shrenu wipes her tears and says: ok, I forgive you but next time don’t eat them.

Kunal’s POV:
I never know whether Shrenu is more cuter crying or sleeping. But one thing I know is that Shrenu is so cute that not even Gul mam and Harneet mam can yell at her.
I hope that our hone wala baccha would also be really cute as Shrenu. I only want my princess to inherit Shrenu’s looks not mine. This is my secret wish.
Shrenu: Kunal, here is nutella. Now stop staring and make it na.
I forgot all about the brownies a minute ago, thankfully Shrenu reminded me. I put a few spoonful of nutella in the mix and then soon the mix was in the oven.
Then I remember that Shrenu has been standing for a long time.
Kunal’s POV ends.

No one’s POV:
Kunal: Shrenu, you have been standing for a long time. That’s not good na.
Shrenu: arre Kunal, I’m fine.
Kunal: phir bhi.

He keeps his arm around her for support and carefully makes her walk to the living room and made her sit on the sofa.
Sanjay and Satya came too.
Sanjay: so bhabhi, it’s only a matter of days now.
Satya: and then we will get our cool bro!
Shrenu: see Kunal, even these two want a prince.
Kunal: and I want a princess. Since childhood, it has always been boys in this house.
Shrenu: then why not have another boy?
Kunal: because we need some more princesses in this house. You are one, definitely the apple of dad’s eye. Isn’t she Sanjay and Satya?
Sanjay-Satya: yes bro.
Kunal: and I need someone to pamper non-stop.
Shrenu: I’m right here Kunal!

Kunal smiles, nuzzling her. Then they heard coughs.
Sanjay: we are right here.
Satya: do your romance in room 6…
Kunal interrupting: shut up Satya and Sanjay.
Shrenu: I am going to get some water.
Kunal: Shrenu, I’ll go with you.
Shrenu: no Kunal. You stay here, I will go.
Kunal: arre lekin Shrenu…
Before he could complete, she already left.

Kunal’s POV:
Now I was really scared. The doctors said that Shrenu was due any day now and that could be today even. Fine I will admit, despite the fact that Shrenu is really adorable, she won’t listen that easily to me and that’s why I get scared.
Just to make me even more scared, I heard a scream coming from the kitchen. I quickly ran there to see Shrenu on the floor, clutching her baby bump, crying and screaming.
Kunal’s POV ends.

No one’s POV:
Kunal lifted a crying Shrenu up in bridal style and rushed out of the kitchen.
Sanjay: bhabhi, what happened?
Kunal: she has probably started her labor pain. I need to take her to hospital!!
Satya: bro, you can’t.
Shrenu in pain: WHY?!
Sanjay shows the phone to Kunal who gets shocked.
Kunal: shit! There is really bad traffic.
Satya: bhabhi is better off giving birth at home.
Kunal: yes you’re right.
Kunal placed Shrenu on the sofa and turns to Sanjay and Satya: quickly get a blanket.
The boys go.

Sunil came downstairs concerned.
Shrenu: papaji, it’s paining a lot!
Sunil: our Shrenu is very strong. Right Shrenu?
Shrenu nods in pain.
Sanjay and Satya came back with a blanket. Kunal placed it over Shrenu who was crying and screaming.
Kunal: dad, Sanjay, Satya you guys go. I will take care of Shrenu.
Sunil: are you sure Kunal beta?
Kunal: yes dad. If that is fine.
Sunil: ok.

The three go to the kitchen and Shrenu clutched Kunal’s hand tight leaving nail marks on his hand.
Shrenu: KUNAL JAISINGH! I HATE YOU!
Kunal: is it possible that we can have this conversation like….later?
Shrenu letted out a painful loud scream – loud enough to make you deaf.
Shrenu: KUNAL JAISINGH, I HATE YOU FOR THIS PAIN!!! I HATE YOU A (she screams, clutching his hand as tight as possible) LOT!! I WILL KILL YOU!!

Kunal’s POV:
I couldn’t stand seeing Shrenu crying and screaming in pain. I knew that she had to go through this but I never thought that she had to go through it today with no doctors and nurses. She wasn’t even in hospital. She only had me to help her deliver the baby.
She letted out another scream clutching my hand tightly. I couldn’t see her in pain. It just made me more guilty doing this to her.
Kunal’s POV ends.

No one’s POV:

The pain of labor was a prison for Shrenu’s mind. In that jail cell of fear and confusion the time passed without her being able to keep track. Shrenu’s stomach tightened, she heard her own scream without being aware of making it.

Shrenu started to cry and yelled at Kunal: I HATE YOU SO MUCH KUNAL. THIS IS TOO MUCH!!
Kunal wiped her tears and said: sorry jaan!
Shrenu: DON’T YOU JAAN ME!! AND NEXT TIME MR KUNAL JAISINGH, YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO TOUCH ME WITH YOUR FILTHY HANDS AND YOU HAVE TO STAY AT LEAST 20 FEET AWAY FROM ME!!!
Kunal: excuse me Mrs Shrenu Kunal Jaisingh, I wasn’t the only one who enjoyed that night! And for your kind information, it takes two people to create a baby. Not just one.
Shrenu: GIVE ME YOUR STUPID BIOLOGY LESSON LATER.

Sanjay from the kitchen: BRO, THE BROWNIES GOT BURNT!
Kunal: NO ONE CARES! I THINK MY WIFE AND CHILD IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN BROWNIES!

Shrenu: kunal, I swear once this child is born, I will torture you for making me go through this pain.
Kunal: please don’t baby! Please.
Shrenu whinges in pain again, Kunal’s hand felt that the blood had flown out of it as Shrenu was clutching it so so tight.
Kunal: Shrenu, it’s just a matter of a few more pushes. Then we will have our child in our arms.
Shrenu screams, crying.

Kunal kisses her hands and says: Shrenu, don’t think of this pain. Think of our child. Will our child look like you or me? How naughty will our child be? Think of those and you won’t feel any pain at all.
Shrenu nods. She started to think about her – no her and Kunal’s child. As she thought of that, the pain was slowly leaving. She pushed one more time letting a really loud painful scream.
All you could hear were cries.
But those cries didn’t belong to Shrenu.
Kunal lifted up the small figure and cleaned it. Once done, he wrapped the child in a pink blanket and came to where Shrenu was. He gave the baby to Shrenu who then had her turn to cry.

But those weren’t tears of pain.

They were tears of happiness.
Kunal: hamari beti.

Kehte Hain Khuda Ne Iss Jahan Mein Sabhi Ke Liye
Kisi Na Kisi Ko Hai Banaya Har Kisi Ke Liye
Tera Milna Hai Uss Rab Ka Ishaara Maanu
Mujhko Banaya Tere Jaise Hi Kisi Ke Liye
Kehte Hain Khuda Ne Iss Jahan Mein Sabhi Ke Liye
Kisi Na Kisi Ko Hai Banaya Har Kisi Ke Liye

Shrenu kisses her daughter’s forehead and both look at their daughter in awe – she looked exactly like Shrenu with the chubby cheeks and Bambi eyes.
Sunil, Sanjay and Satya came out smiling.
Sanjay: girl or boy?
Shrenal: girl.
Sunil: so what name have you chose for her?

Kunal’s POV:
I looked at Shrenu and she looked at me, both of us were confused. Ok fine I will admit, Shrenu and I didn’t decide a name because we both didn’t know the gender.
Kunal’s POV ends.

No one’s POV:
Shrenu: I think we should combine our names.
Kunal: good idea.

Tera Milna Hai Uss Rab Ka Ishaara Maanu

Shrenu: ‘shre’ from my name.

Mujhko Banaya Tere Jaise Hi Kisi Ke Liye

Kunal: and ‘na’ from my name.

Kuch Toh Hai Tujhse Raabta
Kuch Toh Hai Tujhse Raabta
Kaise Hum Jaane Hume Kya Pata
Kuch Toh Hai Tujhse Raabta
Shrenal: ‘shre’ and ‘na’…Shrena!
Tu Humsafar Hai, Phir Kya Fikar Hai
Jeene Ki Wajah Hi Yahi Marna Issi Ke Liye
Kehte Hain Khuda Ne Iss Jahan Mein Sabhi Ke Liye
Kisi Na Kisi Ko Hai Banaya Har Kisi Ke Liye

Kunal: we decided that for our little princess the name Shrena.
Satya: wow how cute.
Sunil: come on you two. Let’s leave these two and Shrena alone. Some private family time.
The boys nod and them three go leaving Shrenal and their symbol of love.

Sa Ni Pa Di Na Sa…
Meharbaani Jaate Jaate Mujh Pe Kar Gaya
Guzarta Sa Lamha Ek Daaman Bhar Gaya
Tere Nazara Mila, Roshan Sitaara Mila
Takdeer Ki Kashtiyon Ko, Kinara Mila

Shrenu kisses her baby’s forehead and says: the pain was worth it. Kitni pyaari hai, right Kunal?

Kunal: bilkul. So do you forgive me?

Shrenu: fine I forgive you.

They stared in each other’s eyes and then their lips met.

Sadiyon Se Tarse Hai Jaisi Zindagi Ke Liye
Teri Sauhbat Mein Duaayein Hain Ussi Ke Liye
Tere Milna Hai Uss Rab Ka Ishaara
Maanu Mujhko Banaya Tere Hi Jaise Kisi Ke Liye
Kehte Hain Khuda Ne Iss Jahan Mein Sabhi Ke Liye
Kisi Na Kisi Ko Hai Banaya Har Kisi Ke Liye

Just then Shrena cried making Shrenal laugh.

Shrenu: so jealous na.

Kunal: bilkul sai hai. Shrenu, give her to me. I will make her stop crying. You must be so tired na.

Shrenu: but Kunal, I think she is hungry.

Kunal: ok then you feed her. I will look away.

Shrenu smiles and Kunal looks away as Shrenu feeds Shrena.

Shrenu: now you can turn back.

Kunal turns back and kisses her forehead and then takes Shrena in his arms, crying in happiness.

Tere Milna Hai Uss Rab Ka Ishaara
Maanu Mujhko Banaya Tere Hi Jaise Kisi Ke Liye
Kuch Toh Hai Tujhse Raabta
Kuch Toh Hai Tujhse Raabta
Kaise Hum Jaane Hume Kya Pata
Kuch Toh Hai Tujhse Raabta

He kissed her tiny fingers and in return, Shrena clutched his hand with her entire thumb.
Kunal: see Shrenu, she is clutching my thumb.
Shrenu: aww!
Kunal: accha so I think both mother and daughter should sleep.
Shrenu: and I think even the father should sleep.

He pinches her cheeks, pecks her lips and kisses Shrena’s forehead. Then Shrenu makes some space for Shrena and Kunal on the sofa and the three slept.
They finally had a child who was a symbol of their love. They knew that they would have some more in the future but for now, they were happy with their first child.

Words couldn’t even express the joy of new life

Babies are bits of stardust, blown from the hand of God.

Tu Humsafar Hai, Phir Kya Fikar Hai
Jeene Ki Wajah Hi Yahi Hai Marna Issi Ke Liye
Kehte Hain Khuda Ne Iss Jahan Mein Sabhi Ke Liye
Kisi Na Kisi Ko Hai Banaya Har Kisi Ke Liye
