'Ae Vidhi khol na darwaza..mujhe toh bol sakti hain na kya baat hain..tu toh apne bhaiya se sab kuch share karti hain na phir?? Baat toh kar mujhse ek baar!! ' A teenage boy stood outside his sister’s room, knocking repeatedly, his voice filled with concern. But inside, there was nothing but silence.
Neither his pleading nor their mother’s coaxing seemed to make a difference. Vidhi remained shut inside once she came back from school, refusing to listen to anyone.
Abir sighed, turning to his mother with worried eyes. "What do we do now, Mumma? Should we call Papa from the hospital? Vidhi only listens to him," he suggested, desperation creeping into his tone.
Vidhi, the second child of Avni and Vihaan, was three years younger than Abir. She was her Papa’s princess, while Abir had always been his mother’s boy.
Avni ran a hand through her hair, exhaling sharply. "You stay here with your sister. Let me call your Papa… I just hope he isn’t busy in the OT," she murmured.
Inside the room, Vidhi is just curled up inside a blanket crying silently. She doesn't know how to tell her papa what has actually happen to her.
What if she has serious health issue?? What if he takes her to hospital and give her big big injection??
Later on when Vihaan rushed to home after knowing that his daughter is not opening the door, he got tensed.. what has happened to her suddenly after coming to school??
One look at Avni and his son ,he got that she still didn't open the door..
'Bring the spare keys from our room Avni' he told her moving close to his daughter's room..
'Agar kholna hota..woh abtak khol deti beta..' he said patting his head..
Avni hand him the keys, 'Please aram se baat karna Vihaan'
He nods his head giving a soft smile, 'Tum Abir k sath sofe pe baitho..I will you call once she gets normal'
Without arguing Avni took Abir with her knowing that her husband will take care of her.
Vihaan enters the room to see her sobbing under the blanket with all the light off.
He switch on the lights and sat beside her.
He softly touch her forehead, 'Aapne papa ko bhi nahi bataoge shona hmm?'
She shook her head sobbing. He smiles atleast she is replying her.
'Acha thik hain mat batao..par apne face nahi dikhaoge apne papa ko haa?? Will you not share your stories that what you had done entire day in school??' he asked her trying to pull the blanket from her face but she just tightly gripping the blanket from inside.
She again shook her head. He sighed and with the blanket he took her in his arms hugging her tightly. At first she doesn't wanted to come on his lap but slowly she clutched his Papa's neck sobbing.
He could feel her tears soaking his neck.
'Kya hua shona?? If you don't share your problem..how will I know why my princess is crying??' he asked patting her back.
'Nahi aap bohut daatoge!!' she said with cracked voice..
'Mein ajtak kabhi daata hain aapko kisi baat pe jo aaj daatunga??' he asked caressing her hairs.
'Nahi aap mujhe phir hospital leke jayenge aur bade bade injections laga denge' she started to cry again gripping his neck..
'Haww !! Mein apne princess ko kyu leke jaungi bhala aur woh bhi hospital pe?? Kisne keha diya aapko shona??' he asked trying to lighten her mood.
'Kyuki mujhe bohut chot lagi hain papa..bohut blood nikal rahi hain..' she cries finally letting her problem out.
Hearing that she got hurt and blood is coming out,he got tensed. He broke the hug immediately and started checking her hand and legs for any injury but there is none.
'Kaha lagi hain chot aapko shona aur bataya kyu nahi abhi tak mujhe ?? Dikhao kaha lagi hain? He asked her cupping her cheek.
Her eyes filled with tears and lips wobbled once again. She doesn't know how to tell him she is bleeding from her private part.
It's shame shame.
'Jaha se mein pee karti hoon' she cries loudly hugging him in shame and pain in her stomach.
He immediately got to know what did she actually mean...
'You are bleeding from your private part bachaa??' he asked confirming her.
She nods her head crying loudly. He sighed in relief as he pats her back..
He hugged her back tightly rocking her on his lap kissing her head..
'Shhh bacha..kuch nahi hua aapko...aap bilkul thik ho...rona band karo..I am not taking you to the hospital nor I will give you any injection..aapne toh pura dara diya mujhe..bass shh ..papa hain na sab thik kar denge!!' he pats her back.
'Par mujhe kya hua hain?? Mere sab best friend bol rahi hain ki meri tabiyat kharab hain..' she hiccups ..
'You trust your papa right ...then just listen to your papa..you are completely normal...it just that my princess is growing into big girl ...and that's it' he smiled kissing her forehead.
'Just sit here and let me call your mumma and then me and you mumma will explain you what exactly happened to you after changing you in fresh clothes hmm??' he said.
She nods her head confusingly.
He then calls Avni from outside who rushed inside the room tensed. She took Vidhi into a hug kissing her whole face..
'Aise mumma ko kya darata hain kya bacha haa?' she scolded her and she just look down guiltily.
She looked at her husband asking him what happened??
'She is bleeding..change her into fresh clothes and I am coming with the sanitary pad' he said rushing outside...
Avni took her to the bathroom, change her into fresh clothes. By that time Vihaan too came there and hand her one pad. She carefully explained to Vidhi how to use it and helped her put it on.
Once everything was done, Vihaan and Avni sat on the bed with Vidhi between them, both of them smiling at her reassuringly.
“You remember a few months ago, we were watching a movie, and an advertisement came on? You asked me why big girls wear diapers, remember? And I told you that when the right time comes, I’ll explain it to you?” Avni asked, holding her daughter’s hand.
Vidhi bobbed her head.
“Well, those aren’t diapers, baby. They are called sanitary pads. Girls wear them during their periods. And right now, you’ve got your first period,” Avni explained.
“Period?” Vidhi asked, tilting her head in confusion.
Vihaan knelt in front of her, kissing her small palm.
“Yes, Shona, you got your first period. It means that you will bleed from your private part for 6–7 days every month,” he said gently.
“For example, today is March 3rd, so this bleeding will continue until around March 8th. After that, it will stop on its own. And next month, you will get your period again around the same date. Sometimes, it might be one or two days late, but that’s not a problem,” he explained patiently.
“But why is this happening to me, Mumma, Papa? Will it never stop? Can’t you give me some medicine to make it go away?” she pouted.
Vihaan chuckled and shook his head.
“No, beta, this is a monthly cycle. It means that you are growing up. Your body will go through many changes, and you will slowly start noticing them. Every girl experiences this—even your mumma,” he said with a smile.
Vidhi’s eyes widened. “Really, Mumma?” she asked in surprise.
Avni nodded, pulling her into a side hug.
“But Mumma, my stomach hurts,” Vidhi complained, rubbing her belly.
“Oh, but don’t worry—Papa has a magic trick to make all your pain vanish!” Vihaan said playfully, rubbing his nose against hers, making her giggle.
By that time Abir also came there as he hugged his baby sister tightly..
'You are okay na chotu??' he asked pinching her cheek.
She bobs her head smiling.
By that time, Abir also arrived, rushing to his baby sister and hugging her tightly.
"Are you okay, Chotu?" he asked, gently pinching her cheek.
Vidhi nodded with a small smile.
"Your little sister is absolutely fine, beta," Vihaan assured him, pulling Abir onto his lap.
"She just got her first period, which made her panic a little."
Abir looked at Vidhi with concern before turning to his parents. He already had a basic understanding of what periods were, as Vihaan and Avni had explained it to him briefly beforehand.
'Isliye tu itna roii?? Cry baby kahi ki' he teases her pulling her hair .
'Owwww!!!! bhaiii' she shouts as he quickly run away from there. Vidhi too get down from her bed and run behind him to catch her.
'Araam se bacha' Avni shouts on seeing her running like a cheetah..
Vihaan chuckles.
'Ab aap kyu has rahe hain bhala??' she raised her eyebrows.
'Vaise mera beta sahi kaha na?? jaise maa waise uski beti..bilkul cry baby' he teases her making her fumes..
'Aap phirse shuru ho gaye na??Apka kuch nahi ho sakta' she murmurs trying to leave by Vihaan just pulled her on his lap making her eyes widened.
'Pagal hain kya aap ...bahar bache hain..kabhi bhi aa sakte hain chodiye na ...' he shut her mouth by pecking her lips.
'Vih-' he again cut her ny pecking her lips..
'Uff-' he again peck her lips making her smile.
'Finally has diya na meri biwi ne' he smiles as he finally took her lips into a passionate kiss making her breathless...
She wrapped her arms around his neck and said, "I love you so much... Thank you for saying yes that day, even after I had asked you to reject our marriage proposal'.
"I love you too, meri jaan," he smiled as he pulled her on top of him on the bed.
