Chapter 3: A Tangle of Love and Fear
Back in the US Ashok and Vanitha's home, the bedroom was dimly lit, the soft glow of a bedside lamp casting warm shadows on the walls. Vanitha leaned against Ashok, her head resting on his chest as his fingers gently traced patterns along her arm. The closeness between them was palpable, a quiet intimacy that spoke of their deep connection.
“I missed this,” Ashok murmured, his voice low and tender. He tilted her chin up to meet his gaze, his dark eyes filled with love.
Vanitha smiled faintly but didn’t speak. Instead, she leaned in, letting her lips brush against his in a kiss that quickly deepened. Ashok pulled her closer, his hands moving to her waist, but just as the moment began to escalate, Vanitha stiffened. She placed her palms against his chest and gently pushed him away.
“Vanitha?” Ashok’s voice was filled with concern as he searched her face. “What’s wrong?”
She sat up, pulling the edge of the blanket around her shoulders as if shielding herself. “I’m sorry,” she whispered, avoiding his eyes. “I just… I can’t.”
Ashok sat up beside her, his hand resting lightly on her back. “Talk to me,” he urged softly.
Vanitha hesitated, her fingers twisting the edge of the blanket. “Ashok, I love you,” she began, her voice trembling slightly. “And I want to give you everything—everything you’ve ever dreamed of. But…” She trailed off, struggling to find the right words.
“But what?” Ashok prompted gently.
She finally turned to face him, her eyes brimming with vulnerability. “But I’m scared,” she admitted. “I’m scared of what having a baby will do to me—to my body.”
Ashok’s brow furrowed in confusion. “Vanitha, you’re worried about your figure?"
“It’s not just that,” she said quickly, shaking her head. “It’s more than that. My body… it’s something I’ve worked so hard to maintain. It’s part of who I am—part of what makes me feel confident and strong.” Her voice cracked slightly as she added, “And I’m terrified of losing that.”
Ashok reached for her hand and held it firmly. “Vanitha,” he said earnestly, “you’re beautiful—not because of how you look, but because of who you are. And nothing—not pregnancy or anything else—could ever change that.”
She looked down at their intertwined hands, tears welling in her eyes. “I know you mean that,” she said softly. “But you don’t understand how much this matters to me.”
There was a long pause before Vanitha spoke again, this time more hesitantly. “But then… there are moments,” she admitted quietly, “when I imagine holding a baby—our baby—and it feels like my heart could burst from how much I want it.” Her voice broke as a tear slipped down her cheek. “I want to be a mother so badly, Ashok. But I don’t know if I’m ready to give up everything else.”
Ashok pulled her into his arms again without hesitation, holding her tightly as she sobbed into his shoulder. “We’ll figure this out together,” he promised softly. “You don’t have to make any decisions right now.”
Vanitha pulled back slightly to look at him through tear-filled eyes. “Do you really mean that?”
“Of course,” he said firmly. “We’ll take it one step at a time—whatever makes you feel comfortable.” He kissed her forehead gently and added with a small smile, “And if we need help figuring things out, we’ll ask Appa for advice. You know how wise he is.”
Vanitha managed a watery laugh at that and rested her head against Ashok’s chest once more. For now, the weight of uncertainty eased slightly in the warmth of his embrace—but deep down, she knew the question of motherhood would linger until they found a path forward together.
Ashok leaned down, brushing his lips against hers. The kiss deepened, and Vanitha responded with equal passion, her hands sliding up his back. As his touch grew more insistent, she reached over to the nightstand and retrieved a small foil packet. She held it out to him with a meaningful look.
Ashok paused, his breath hitching slightly as he glanced at the condom in her hand. “Vanitha,” he said softly, “you don’t have to do this just for me.”
She shook her head, her voice steady but tinged with vulnerability. “It’s not that, Ashok. I want this. I just… I need to be careful.”
Ashok took the packet from her and nodded, understanding dawning in his eyes. “I get it,” he said gently. “You’re worried about getting pregnant.”
Vanitha bit her lip and looked away for a moment before meeting his gaze again. “I’m not against having a baby,” she admitted quietly. “I think about it all the time—what it would feel like to hold our child, to see them smile at us.” Her voice softened as she added, “But I’m scared of what it will do to me… to my body.”
Ashok pulled her into his arms, his touch warm and reassuring. He kissed her hair, murmuring soothingly, “We don't have to worry about that right now. Let's just enjoy being together, okay?"
Vanitha leaned into his embrace, a sense of relief washing over her. She knew there were no guarantees, but for tonight at least, she was content to lose herself in his love.
