"Sweetheart I'm going to the office , please take care of yourself." He said caressing her face.
"But arjun, today we had to go to the clinic. I told you last night also." She replied while getting off the bed.
Oh shit, I'm so sorry Priyanka, how can I forget this? actually I have an urgent meeting today. Can you please manage this time , I will ask my driver to drop you at the clinic.
"It's okay Arjun , I can understand. You should attend your meeting." She replied back.
That's like my good girl and be ready in the evening ,today we will go for dinner, okay ?
Priyanka nodes in yes.
"He didn't even come today and obviously this was not happening for the first time. Hasn't he accepted my baby yet ? He has never been concerned about this baby or am I overthinking ? N...no, Arjun got married to me because he wanted to give father's name to my baby, but why has he been avoiding this unborn child like this?" Priyanka thinks in her mind.
Aradhya enters her room and looks at the Priyanka who was sitting on the bed quietly.
She keeps her hand on her shoulder. "Priyanka...what happened? Why are you looking sad, is everything ok. Did arjun say anything to you?"
Priyanka looks at her with sad eyes. N...nothing mom, everything is good.
Today you are going for your second trimester ultrasound , right ? But where is Arjun?
A...actually mom, Arjun had to leave because he had an urgent meeting.
"Ok...now I got it , why is my daughter is sad." She said patting her hand on her head.
She looks up...mom, I am fine as this is not the first time he didn't come up with me for my pregnancy health check-ups. Now I am habitual to this.
Beta...Don't worry, today I will give you company. My friend is a doctor and I want to take you to her if you don't have any problems.
No mom , why should i have any problems? in fact I am happy that you're coming with me. Mom...you know, I don't feel good to go there all alone.
I can understand your situation beta , I know what emotions you have been going through and stop calling yourself alone, you have this baby, your family and your love.
The doctor explained everything to priyanka through the monitor screen. From her baby's movement to weight and health.
Priyanka was lying on the bed with teary eyes. She can watch her baby's little movements while listening to his heart beats.
"Mom...can you see this? Baby is so tiny. I wish my baby could get the love of both the parents." She said while sobbing.
"Beta...your baby will get everything. You just need to be strong." She said holding her hand.
Radhya goes to the medicine section for collecting Priyanka's medicine and reports.
Priyanka was adjusting her clothes when Suddenly the room's light got off.
She was about to get out of the room when somebody holds her hands and pulls her into a hug.
She feels peace in his embrace after a long time. He gets out of the hug , holds her face and looks into her eyes.
A...Ankit...she said in a cracking voice.
D...don't cry....he again hugs her tightly.
Priyanka reciprocates the hug this time. Ankit where did you go? You didn't even think about our child.
I am sorry Priyanka , please forgive me. I can't imagine my life without you , only i know how I have survived in the last few months.
But it's enough now, I will release you from this unwanted relationship and that bastard.
Priyanka gets out of the hug and looks away from him. I am married now.
Ok fine if you want this then I am going from your life.
priyanka feels a pinch in her heart and turns towards him but doesn't find Ankit anywhere in the room. She runs out of the room and is about to fall when aradhya holds her.
Beta...be careful , what are you doing ?
M...mom...Ankit is here.
A...Ankit ? How can he be here ?
"Mom...I am not lying. He was here with me." She said crying.
Beta...he was not here , trust me. Calm down Priyanka , this is not good for your baby. Let's go home , I will make your favourite dessert.
Priyanka was getting ready for dinner , while Arjun came back home from the office.
Wow! You're looking so pretty in this red saree. I'm sorry for not making up today. Give me ten minutes , then I will take my gorgeous wife for dinner.
Arjun...won't you ask about baby ? About his health ?
"baby must be fine...right ? " He said, going into the washroom.
Priyanka closes her eyes...and tears start rolling out from her eyes.
Arjun and Priyanka were having their dinner when two boys sitting behind them started talking about them.
Arjun and Priyanka could hear their conversation.
Look...he is a business tycoon Arjun...right?
Yes...and she is his wife priyanka. Look at her , doesn't she look pregnant?
Yes brother, but they got married two months ago and her belly, don't you find something fishy ?
Priyanka feels heartbroken...Arjun please go from here. I am not feeling good.
But Arjun didn't listen to her...no, we are not going anywhere. "They are saying the truth." He said clenching his jaw.
Priyanka looks at him in disbelief. W...what are you saying Arjun?
"Priyanka...abort this child." He said , looking straight into her eyes.
"I will not abort my child." She replied fiercely. Maybe you have forgotten that I got married to you for my baby. If you don't want me to carry this baby then I can't be your wife also.
"Priyanka gets up, we're going home now." He asked with anger.
At home
Arjun: please forgive me. I didn't want to say those things to you, trust me I love this baby a lot. I lost my temper because of those boys. I promise I will never hurt you again.
Priyanka: Arjun , today I am forgiving you as a wife but next time this mother will never forgive you.
"Thank you so so so much Priyanka. I am really lucky to have you in my life." He said.
Next day
Priyanka I am going out of the city for two days for business purposes. Please take care of yourself and I am sorry again for my behaviour last night.
It's ok Arjun! Please be careful and have happy journey.
