"Bhabhi ma... I just met her, she looked fine... What's wrong? Should I call her doctor ?", Avyan asked Isha who shook her head...

"Ishu... What happened...", Ranveer started but Isha interrupted him.

"Atimya is fine... Absolutely fine... I gave her a bath, deep cleansing, and massage since I didn't have time this morning to run a proper bath due to all the puja, so had to do it now...", Isha said and everyone knew the story of Isha's bath and how loud the triplets cry unable to bear it.

"Ishu... You need to stop being so hard, they are just weeks old, Bache...", Ranveer said, Isha rolled her eyes...

"Bhabhi ma, maybe you can reduce the frequency...", Avyan suggested but thankfully Pratap didn't say anything knowing his daughter-in-law.

"Avyan... it's important for the kids, their bones strengthen with it", Amruta told Avyan and Abhyansh sighed getting up...

"I'm done", Abhyansh said and walked away from there... He saw Bhairav strolling in with the triplets... He picked up his daughter and left to his chamber asking Bhairav to follow with the twin boys...

"Ma... What should I do ?", Isha said holding her head, now it has become an everyday thing and she is fed up.

"It's okay, he will come around", Amruta said, trying to console Isha but everyone knew she was lying. Abhyansh is not someone to come around.

"Or you'll learn to handle the possessive father in him", Rajmata Devyani Devi said, and Isha's face was worth watching, at her comment.

Isha shook her head, quickly finished her food, and walked to her children who were with her husband.

"Rana sa... have this...", Isha walked inside their chamber, with juice for her husband...

"You haven't recovered completely... Why do you do such things ? Have you decided not to listen to me ever ?", Abhyansh asked, taking the tray from her...

"Now why are you upset ? It's such a petty thing Abhyansh... You wanted to make your children strong, especially your daughter, Is this how you are gonna do it ?", Isha asked

"They are just weeks old, Isha", Abhyansh argued but Isha's words did strike a chord... She looked at him with raised eyebrows...

"Ansh... Remember, you once said, Your children doesn't want parents who prevent them from all the pain in the world, instead they deserve parents who could give the strength to handle any problem or pain in the world...", Isha reminded his own words and Abhyansh sat on the floor near his babies' cradle, staring at them, the more he looked at their innocent faces, the more determined he became, he needs to make his children strong, not just for themselves, but for the people around them...

"I'm sorry... I hurt you again...", Abhyansh said, holding his wife's palm...

"You didn't...", she said kissing his cheek...

"You won't give them bath twice a day, let Daima take over for once a day, and take help from Ma if I'm not there when you give them... You still haven't recovered, Don't forget your condition...", Abhyansh warned...

"I know... I'll take care... Now that you understood, I have one less headache", Isha said, Abhyansh pulled her into a hug and his hold tightened gradually...

"Ansh... Are you okay ?", Isha asked as she didn't feel he was okay...

"Hm...", he said but his tone croaked making her doubts stronger...

"Ansh... Tell me what's wrong... You don't seem fine", she said and soon she felt the wetness on her neck... "Ansh... what happened ? Is something hurting you...", she said slowly ruffling his hair... She was hell worried as she never saw him shedding more than 3 tears... She was surprised he didn't cry during the time of their triplets birth, she thought he would tear up seeing her in so much pain, but looks like he held himself well, she thought but she was proven wrong the next minute.

"I was so scared... I thought I'll lose you... For a second, I started hating my own blood for causing you so much pain...", Abhyansh said, his tone extremely calm but cold. She could hear the pain in it.

She broke the hug and wiped the very few drops at the corner of his eyes... Her heart broke looking at her husband, it took him these many weeks to finally express his pain... So, this is what is hurting him all these days...

"I'm doing fine... stop thinking so much... I will stay fit and fine for decades to come...", she said cupping his face.

"You will be", Abhyansh said with a smile...

"Don't hide so much pain inside you... Share it with me...", Isha said

"It's not the pain that made me break in front of you, it's the fear, fear of losing you", he said and his eyes told her, it was the most dreadful thing for him... She cupped his face and kissed his forehead... Abhyansh gently pulled her forward but before he placed his lips on hers, they heard a loud cry of their eldest child, followed by the middle one... Isha is about to movetowards them, but Abhyansh pulled her to him, taking her lips into a passionate kiss... But he instantly left his wife's lips when he heard his daughter's cries... Isha pulled him closer and gave a quick kiss on his lips before tending to their children...

As soon as Atimya saw her father, her sobs stopped, Isha smiled at their bond, picking up both her sons, and walked to their room to get them ready for bed after feeding them.
