Third Call: Priya, Sanjay and Arhan
At a Bandra café, its wooden tables bustling, Sanjay and Priya called Arhan, his eyes sparkling on the laptop. Priya, in a modern dress, showed him a toy elephant she’d bought, its trunk raised. “For you, beta,” she said, her voice maternal, the café’s coffee aroma mingling with sea air. Sanjay nodded. “She loves you, Arhan. Call her ‘Mum.’” Arhan paused, then grinned. “Okay… Mum.” Priya’s eyes welled, her heart soaring. Sanjay, beaming, kissed her deeply, their lips lingering as Arhan giggled on screen. “You guys are funny!” he said, waving. The moment cemented their new family, Priya’s joy palpable, the café’s chatter fading.
The Pregnancy Discovery
One morning, alone in her flat, Priya sat on the sagging sofa, the fan creaking, her calendar open on the chipped table. Her period was two weeks late, the realization hitting like a wave. Her hands trembled as she checked again, her heart racing. She texted Sanjay, her fingers shaking: “Need to see you. Urgent.” They met at a discreet Worli café, its glass walls framing the sea, Priya’s face pale in a loose kurta. “I missed my period,” she whispered, her voice barely audible over the espresso machine’s hiss. Sanjay’s eyes widened, then softened, his hand covering hers. “We’ll figure it out together,” he said, his voice steady. He drove her to a private Bandra clinic, its sterile halls quiet, where a doctor confirmed the pregnancy after a test. “Congratulations,” he said, smiling. Priya’s breath caught, joy and fear mixing—she was carrying Sanjay’s child, a secret she vowed to keep from Arjun, whose descent she’d witnessed nightly.
Sharing with Arhan
Sanjay and Priya, bound by the pregnancy, called Arhan from Sanjay’s villa, the laptop on a marble table, the Bandra skyline twinkling. “Arhan, we have big news,” Sanjay began, his voice warm, his hand on Priya’s. Priya, glowing in a loose kurta, leaned in, her hand on her stomach. “You’re going to have a little sibling,” she said, her smile radiant, the villa’s frangipani scent calming her. Arhan’s eyes widened, then he grinned. “Really? That’s cool!” he said, his voice bright. “I’ll be a big brother!” Sanjay and Priya laughed, their relief palpable, the marble cool under their hands. As Arhan chattered about baby names, Sanjay pulled Priya into a passionate kiss, their lips locking with unguarded joy. Arhan laughed on screen. “Ew, you guys! I’m hanging up!” he said, cutting the call, his giggle echoing. Priya and Sanjay held each other, their new family taking shape, Arjun’s shadow fading into the villa’s opulent silence.
