Saanvi POV:
I woke up to the white ceiling, machines beeping beside me, my eyes burned from the relief that I'm alive, suddenly panic surging through me. Is my baby alive? Is she fine? I looked around, finding no one.
I wanted to scream, but my throat was dry, and no voice came out. Just then, Vaishu came in. When she saw me awake, "Anvi....?" she ran towards me, crushing me in a hug.
I patted her urgently, and as she pulled back, I asked, "Is... baby... alright?" She nodded, tears falling from her eyes. I sighed.
She said, "Oh thank god, You are safe, You gave us a heart attack, Anvi. First, we were so happy to hear that you were pregnant, and when Rahul told us about this, all of us were in shock."
She hugged me again, saying, "How much you are going through, babe. I swear, if I find out the person behind this, I am going to kill them."
I smiled weakly and said, "I... am... fine, Vaish." She called the doctor and the remaining persons in. I saw all my family there—Baba, Maa, Anandh, Shri, my Dada, Dadi, Mihir Papa, and Chotima—everyone but not Rishi, Rahul, and Aan. I wondered where they went.
After some time, The doctor came in with Rishi and Rahul. The doctor said, "Congratulations, Mrs. Singhania. Your baby is safe, and you will have a healthy pregnancy as well. Just take some precautions, that's all." I nodded, saying, "Thank you, Doc."
Rishi nodded at me and went with the doctor for the remaining procedures. Maa and Baba hugged me, crying, and said, "Oh, my poor baby. How did you go through this alone? You could have told us one word." I cried as well, saying, "I was scared, Maa. Scared of your reaction."
Baba patted my head and said, "Princess, don't ever be scared of us. We will always support you in everything, no matter what. You're our princess." With that, I cried more.
Shri and Anandh hugged me, saying, "Bhabi, we were scared so much. We thought we would never see you again." I smiled weakly and said, "I am fine now. Stop crying." They nodded, still sniffing.
Rahul came and hugged me. I hugged him back. He said, "I knew you would make it, Killer, because you are a fighter." He didn't leave me for a long time, so I patted him slowly. He pulled back, his face full of red marks, and his eyes completely red.
Oh my!! Rahul is crying. I have never seen him cry. NEVER! I cupped his face with one hand and said, "I am here, Rahul. I am fine. Nothing happened to me." He smiled weakly and nodded. I looked around, yet no sight of Aan. Maybe he is still angry at me.
When I looked at the door opening , Hope blossomed in me but it was crushed with a force when I saw it was not Aan. But Vedhanth came in.
Wait, what in the hell is he doing here? Noticing my expression, Rahul placed a hand on mine and said, "It's fine. He changed. He's the one who helped Bhai to track our location."
He changed? Well, I do know that he was never the villain. He was just played by his father.
Everyone surrounded me, as if protecting me from Vedhanth. I said, "It's fine, everyone. Let him come." I looked at Vaishu and said, "Take everyone home, Vaishu. I will come home with Rahul and Rishi."
Baba asked Rahul, "Where is Vihaan? How come he isn't here when he waited just outside this door for 7 hours without moving an inch?"
Wait, he was here while I was in the operation and left right after that. What does that mean? He doesn't want to see me anymore? That thought itself gave me a jittery feeling.
Rahul just nodded at Baba. What does that nod mean? Is he coming here or not? Vaishu took everyone out as Vedhanth came to my side and said, "I am glad you are safe."
I gave a small, weak smile to him as he continued, "Look, doll, I am really sorry for everything I did. I am sorry for hurting you. I am sorry for causing all the trouble for you. I really am regretting everything I did. I wish I was a better person then. I wish I was more mature to understand that I was in my dad's trap. I never meant to hurt you intentionally, doll. I loved you. You were my first love, and even now, I love you, but as a friend, as a well-wisher."
I again gave a small smile and said, "It's okay, Vedhanth."
He shook his head and said, "It's not okay, doll. I know you hate me. So what should I do? What should I do to make you stop hating me and treat me like a friend? I am not just asking you, but I am begging you to tell. Should I just stay the heck out of your life? Should I just disappear and never come back? Will that stop you from hating me?"
I shook my head and said, "No, I don't hate you, Vedhanth, so stop apologizing. What happened is done. I forgive you for everything because I am glad to see you becoming a better person. You don't need to disappear because, after all, you're my family. I would love to have you around. I will talk to bhai about your position in the company. You can continue working there."
His face beamed with a smile as he nodded vigorously and said, "Thank you, thank you so much, doll." He shook my hand with so much force. Rahul slapped his hand and said, "Enough! She just woke up. Are you trying to kill her again?"
With that, Vedhanth stopped shaking my hand and said, "I will see you later, then." I nodded, and he went to the door but turned and said, "Oh, and congratulations on becoming mother, doll."
I smiled, saying, "Thank you." He really changed, didn't he? I am glad that he is becoming a better person.
Rahul asked, "I know what you're thinking, killer. How come you still are bearing with him? He left you in such a serious situation, and yet here you are waiting for him to come."
I smiled, saying, "Come on, Rahul, he is your bhai, Aren't you gonna support him?" He said, "I am on your side, killer."
I asked him to come close as I slapped his hand said, "Rahul, he is the reason I am here today. He is the reason I am alive now. Because of his love, I am here. He is the one who never left my hand in any situation, Rahul. Though today he left, I bet he didn't even leave this hospital premises. He was angry that I will leave him and disappear. Like everyone, he was also scared, Rahul, for you all, I am just a family person. But For him, I am his entire life, so he was more scared than all of you."
"He didn't know how to express that anger, so he just left. It's not that he doesn't love me, so he left. It's just that he loves me more, so he left. And I am damn 100% sure that even now he will be waiting outside for me."
Rahul just stared at me for some time and said, "I really envy your love for each other, killer. The trust you have in him and the love he has for you. Damn, you make the best couple. And the best part is that you are my power couple." I shook my head, laughing.
He stood up and said, "Yes, you are right. He is waiting outside for you like a moping wanker. I will send him inside." Fire spread through my chest, and for some reason, it's hard to swallow, but I nod anyway.
After a minute or two, I saw him coming inside. He is wearing a new shirt and jeans from the ones he was wearing the last time I saw him. His hair is crumpled, as if he has run his hands through it many times, and his face... Oh, heck. Anger, displeasure, love can be seen through his face.
His lips were pursed, his eyes were red and dark, but at least were not empty, so it is fine. I can deal with his anger.
He is not looking at me. Not once he looked at me since he walked in. His gaze is fixed on the floor.
"Aan?" he breathed heavily, and his jaw was clenching, causing his biceps to tighten. "Maan," I called out again, "Are you going to look at me, or do you prefer to stay outsi--"
He lifted his head, and my words were stopped in my throat. This is the first time I am scared of him. The fear and rage in his eyes left me speechless. He strode towards me, raising his voice a little, "This is the second time, Vie."
His voice vibrated with fear instead of anger. "How could you? This is fucking second time you were on the verge of leaving me. Don't you know that I can't live without you?"
He was now beside my bed. I took his hands in mine and whispered, "Aan, I didn't mean to leave you. I am really sorry, but I didn't want to lose our baby."
He dragged my arm to his chest and said, "But you're okay with me losing you? This fucking heart won't beat without you, Vie. You know how difficult it was to see you in the operation theatre with all those wires covering you. It was no different from watching myself die. No, it was much worse. You know you are my life, Vie. How could you do that to me?"
I said, "Aan, I have never meant to leave you. Okay fine I'm sorry for making you worry, for making you scared."
He cupped my cheek and said, "Don't apologize. Just promise me that you will never do this again, Angel."
"I promise, Aan. Never again." He hugged me very tight and said, "I love you, Vie. And that means I will be by your side during all the battles. I will fucking kill everyone if they come near you again. I am not letting you leave me again. You're stuck with me."
I hugged him with the same emotion and said, "I love you more, Aan."
He pulled out and bent down to my stomach, placed his palm, and said, "I love you too my lil one."
I smiled pressing him to my stomach and said, "I love you both, my babies."
