"Shh! I know baby . " Viv said .
Ira was electrocuted . She looked up to see his face calm and gentle as always and asked: "When?"
"Just recently, I found your doctors prescription for the pills," he said in soothing tender voice .
"Why didn't you confront me? Weren't you angry?" Ira asked .
"I was angry at first . Very angry but I realized I didn't want to fight you . Ira, Now thank you for trusting me and our Love . " Viv said smiling .
"I accept your apology . "

That night,
Viv came home late and drunk to an unlit room . He looked at door coldly .
When he saw the prescription of a doctor, it was dated a year back, the same day they had their fertility tested .
Did he want to barge in and ask her, Why?
' A woman who doesn't love you will definitely not have your child"
he thought to himself; he felt unease, analysing the day of pregnancy announcement when she cried, the online search history of abortion clinics, the day of marriage, engagement . . . All scenes creating a havoc in his brain .
When he entered the bedroom, he saw, Ira had fallen asleep, Looking at wife's sleeping face, all his anger vanished . He didn't feel an ounce of his hatred earlier .
His hand gently stroked her face . His own heart is loving and affectionate, even if it is only for her career she married him, but he is the one who loves .
As long as she was his wife, he believed that feelings could always be cultivated . And Now He was sure she accepted her child and also him wholeheartedly .
It wasn't that he was blind to all her efforts and care to him and his mom .
Viv knew she was changing . Thinking of it, he bowed his head and kissed her soft lips .
"Oh . . . " Having her lips blocked Ira cried, in sleep .
He decides to let go of the matter completely . No strings attached .

Ira didn't expect to be forgiven so easily . She was so scared to even face him . She thought of ways to apologize without having to face his scorn as in writing a letter, a text message, even a voicemail .
However, she decided that she needed to face him anyway .
She expected his anger, his scorn .
She expected His attack, His blame and Her shame .
All she got was a calm face with a sweet smile! No blame, No shame . . .
"Viv . . . , I just want you to know . . . . that you didn't deserve . . . . . what happened between us . . . . . You didn't deserve . . . to be treated that way . . . . . . You are such a good person . " Ira was sobbing .
"Don't cry, if you cry, my heart feels uncomfortable," Viv said .
When she calmed down Viv said
"Ira the event of a child affected both of us, so the decision should include both of us . Right! You could just have told me . "
"Viv, I didn't want to be a mother for my career . I am sorry, I was selfish . "
Ira admitted .
"Wife, let's build a healthy relationship . No pressure, no tricks; just love and support . I love you" Viv's face had the most dazzling smile ever .
"I love you, too," Ira said in a mosquito voice . They confessed directly for the first time .
They kissed and made the most passionate Love .
