Chapter 33: Chapter 33

*Suhas Pov*

Like I thought this continued for one whole week. She is at least having her food properly and talking to me.

But she is not looking at me which I want her to do so badly. I want her to look at me and tell me what is hurting her this much.

I don’t want her to hide anything from me even though I may sound like a hypocrite because I hid so much from her.

At present, we both are lying on the bed lost in our own thoughts. I am rubbing her still flat belly in small movements, and she is letting me.

“Navya! Tell me what is in your mind?” I asked her looking at the clock.

I don’t know why Navya does that all time looking at it, but I got used to do the same. But I wish I know what she thinks looking at it.

“Why should I?” She asked back.

“It helps you in reducing the burden on your mind and will also help me not to worry. We need to share what is bugging us all the time.” I replied.

“Then why did no one do that with me until now?” She asked again.

“We are stupid people, that’s why.” I replied understanding what she is talking about.

“No! You all are great people, but I am the big stupid in this world.” She said sighing.

“Navya! I know what I did is completely wrong. But trust me when I say that no one is important in my life except you and my Mom.” I said squeezing her hand in my other hand.

“Trust? That took a long holiday and left me completely. So don’t put your hope on that thing to be with me.” she said closing her eyes.

I was about to reply to her suggestion, but stopped when I felt her phone ringing. She frowned, but didn’t lift it, so I took it from the bedside table and saw that it is from Divya.

“It is from Divya!” I said, looking at her.

“I don’t want to talk to anyone.” She mumbled.

I lifted the phone and put it on the speaker, but immediately wished I didn’t because I heard a loud shout from her saying “Where the hell are you idiot? I have been calling you for one whole week.”

“Divya! I am tired I will talk to you later.” Navya said sitting up and took the mobile from me.

“Oh! But still you should have answered my call because I have great news for you.” Divya said the final line in excitement.

“What is it?” Navya asked, sighing with still closed eyes.

“Mel just adopted two baby girls last week.” Divya replied, and we both looked at the phone is shock.

“She did? Wow! That’s amazing.” Navya said, smiling for the first time after this long week.

“It is! She wanted you to be the first one to know this, but you didn’t lift the phone.” Divya said in accusing tone.

“I know! I should have.” Navya said sighing.

“Don’t sigh! I have always heard everyone saying pregnant women should always be happy. Now I made you happy with this news right.” Divya asked excitedly.

“Pregnant?” Navya mumbled in confusion.

“Did you forget you are pregnant or something idiot?” Divya asked jokingly, but looking at Navya’s expression, it seems like that should be asked as a real question.

“I am pregnant!” She said and started sobbing slowly, which she didn’t at all from the day when she got to know about her family doings.

“Navya! Navya! Did I say anything wrong?” Divya asked when I took the mobile from Navya’s hands.

“Divya I will call you later.” I said hanging up.

“Navya!” I said, holding her and she cried slowly.

“I am pregnant!” she mumbled and I said ‘Yes’.

“And I was about to fall that day from the stairs.” she said like she just realized it today.

“Yeah! But nothing happened.” I said assuring her.

“What if something had happened?” she asked, releasing herself and looked at me.

“Don’t think about what would have happened. Think about the fact that you and our baby are safe.” I replied holding her face.

“Baby is safe! But it didn’t even enter my mind until now.” she said, closing her eyes and released a few tears.

“It’s ok! Even you didn’t have it in your mind. You took care of yourself and even took tablets correctly.” I said, trying to make her understand that it’s ok.

“It’s not ok.” she said releasing herself from me and got down from the bed.

I moved to sit at the edge of the bed and saw her pacing in front of the bed. She placed her hand on her stomach for every few seconds and again removed it.

“Navya! You are just in shock after hearing everything from them.” I said and she suddenly stopped her pacing and looked at me.

“Yes! It was completely because of you.” she said, pointing at me.

“Me?” I asked her shocked.

“Yeah! If you didn’t enter our lives with this revenge or anything, then they wouldn’t have acted like this. Then I would have been still in my happy bubble.” She replied groaning.

“Navya…” I started to say, but she cut me off saying, “Now I feel like I am in some cactus bubble. Like anywhere I go, I will get nothing but hurt in return and this is all because of you.”

“Navya!” I called her in shock.

She didn’t hear me like she is not in this world at all. She held her head in her hands and said, “You broke my heart while they broke my trust and happiness. And all this happened because of you.”

I fisted my hands and said, “Navya! Don’t stress yourself. You will hurt the baby.”

“Are you not getting angry at me? When I am saying all this you are talking about the baby.” She asked pacing again.

“Navya! We will talk calmly. Our baby is important.” I replied, controlling myself.

“Of course our baby is important for you.” She said snorting.

“What do you mean?” I asked her confused.

“Our baby is important for you because it will get my features too along with yours right. And I have some of my Di’s features, which mean our baby will have some of them. By this, you will be completely happy right.” she said in rage, and I looked at her in pain.

I closed my eyes and held my head in hands saying, “How can you even think like that Navya?”

I opened my eyes to see that she is standing in front of me with her hand covering her mouth, and she is looking at me in shock.

She rushed towards me and bended kissing me all over my face making me stun in shock. She is just chanting “I am sorry” continuously while doing it.

“Navya!” I said, holding her waist.

But she didn’t listen and continued to kiss my cheeks and then hugged me tightly bending like that. I crawled back onto the bed with her in my arms and lay down with her on top of me.

She looked at me and rubbed my eyes, making me realize that I am crying. She kissed my forehead and held me to her like that for a few minutes.

“I am sorry Suhas.” she said after some time.

“Don’t be!” I said, pressing my head to her heartbeat.

She again looked at me and pressed her lips to mine. I held her like that and kissed her back slowly. She cried, kissing and I too did the same.

“I love you Suhas.” she mumbled and moved a little, but laid on me closing her eyes.

Then I realized another stupid thing I did. I didn’t tell her, until now, that I love her.

“Navya!” I called her, but I saw that she is already sleeping.

I will tell her tomorrow that I love her, and everything will be going to be fine. She will be happy and she will lose all the doubts about me too…

*Navya Pov*

I opened my eyes after some time and looked at his sleeping form. The tear stains are still there on his cheeks.

How could I accuse him like that? How could I accuse him for everything my family did?

Mainly how could I talk about his intentions for our baby like that? I thought and I just hate myself now.

All these days I am either hurt or angry or sad. And this is not at all good for our baby.

On top of all this I am hurting him. I am hurting the person whom I love so much. I shouldn’t do that, and I need a break from all this.

This will make everything ok. I thought and removed myself from him slowly.

I packed my bag and wrote a letter for him. I placed it beside him and called the only person whom I can in my situation.

“I want to come there.” I said and hung up after that person accepted.

I bent and pressed a small kiss to his lips saying, “I am sorry, Suhas.”

When I started leaving the room, I heard him, saying, “Navya!”

I closed my eyes and left our home. I need to do this, and if I don’t I will hurt him more and also our baby.

I am sorry Suhas! I thought while leaving Mumbai…
