Chapter 36: Chapter 36

"What the fuck?"

She slapped her hand over her mouth when the word just slipped out of her mouth. All the colors in her body drained out of her system causing her to look like a ghost, I on the other hand completely froze where I stand.

"What do you mean?" I whispered my eyes are brimmed with unshed tears. I'm emotionally hurt by this moment. How could she be mine? Why didn't I realize it earlier?

"Is that true?" I yelled when I didn't get the answer that I'm dying to hear. She stayed silent for what seemed to be hours not giving my damn answer.

"Riya, is she mine?" I asked losing my temper. "Damn! Answer me, you idiot..." I roared like an angry lion who was just happened to loose his cub.

Please say 'yes. Meanwhile, my inner mind begged for some unknown reason. I have no idea when did I start to love the little bunny although she snatched the utmost chance of me being with her.

"Yes!!! Unfortunately, she's yours. So, what???" She cried. She cried. No waves of guilty showed in her pretty face. When did she polish her heart with the silver?

I was speechless. Even though my mind was very keen to hear those words and when it heard, It left me speechless. Anger, betrayal... That's what I felt right at this moment.

My whole body went numb the moment I heard what she said. It's like someone poured a dozen ice cubes on my body. My head started to spin around, and I shut my eyes to gain some balance.

I can't believe this. Sweety is my child, my flesh, mine to called as a daughter. I thought I was left alone but no, the truth is I have my little family out there, but she snatched everything from me.

Whenever I saw her I was angry with her, because of her I lost the second chance I had with her but couldn't even think of it before, that she would be my flesh, my baby. She is my baby... my little bunny.... my cutie pie... my Sweety...

Without my concern, a small drop of water rolled through my cheeks making me realize that I have been crying the whole time.

Crying for what?

I missed everything. Her first cries, her first smiles, her first step, her first words, everything... I missed everything.

I was betrayed, she is lying through the whole time, the nerve of her. I fisted my hand and charged towards her, I don't care who she is or to me, she did the worst and deserve the punishment.

"Kayish." Rachel's stern voice stopped me from my track. "No." She shook her head disapprovingly. I took a deep breath to calm my sense otherwise I would do something I will regret later.

She is on the floor crying her heart out, if it had happened on another day I would have given my shoulder for her support but today I want her to suffer more, more than I suffered.

Why didn't she tell me that I have a daughter? Why did she lie? Why?!! I pulled my hair out of frustration. No. I can't take it anymore. I need justice!! I need whatever belongs to me and I need my daughter. My baby

Giving her one last glance, I took my phone from my pant pocket and dialed the number that will bring justice to me. I know I will win in the end, after all the world is all mine.

"Hello, yeah it's me. It's about my daughter." Her glance turned towards me when I mentioned the word about my daughter and she stood up abruptly. "I need her full custody, do whatever you can, but I want to win the case."

"No, you can't..." She yelled and charged towards me. Before her hands grabbed my collar, I held both of her hands and drew her closer to mine. "Wait and see, I am going to make your life miserable until you beg for my mercy." I gritted my teeth.

I didn't mean what I have just said but anger covered my whole heart which left me no option. If I get full custody of my baby, automatically she will be mine.

"You have no right..." Her eyes rolled upwards, the next thing I saw she was lying on the floor unconsciously.

Damn it. I punched the wall making my knuckles bleed. I don't know why I didn't care to take her in my arm; all I see is anger and betrayal.

"Riya." Juliet came for her rescue and stroked her gently in an attempt to wake her up.

"Give her." Rachel handed her water. I looked at them with a blank expression.

"She is not responding." Juliet's panic voice sent me Goosebumps in my stomach. The nurse came immediately and checked her pulse.

"Nurse, please call the doctor. Her heartbeat is getting low." Two more nurses came and took her into the emergency ward.

"What happened to her?" I asked one of the nurses, blood rushed through my entire vein ready to pop out.

"We can't tell anything." She gave me a stern reply and ran after them.

I was left alone with his baby. My parents had abandoned me when I needed their help more. Claire will help me through this, there is no doubt but how long I am going to depend on others for my every need?

My life was attached to everyone, that's why I was left alone. I want to learn how to stand by myself, my own feet.

I moved to London to start a new life with my baby. I didn't get a good job to afford my life, Whenever I applied for the job, I always get an answer like we will call you later or we already hired someone, if we have any vacancy we will first contact you or some silly excuses all because of I'm with a baby.

So, I worked as a waitress, babysitter, and even as a bartender but the money was not enough for me and my baby's essentials.

I skipped a lot of body checkups cause of my inability. Sometimes I slept on the street not having enough money to find a decent apartment.

Every day I cried before going to sleep. I had been started to crave more foods, but no one is there for me to buy whatever I'm craving. In the end, I had bread and roast.

When I was in my second trimester I consult the doctor and took my first ultrasound. The feeling was amazing, the first time I felt the motherhood towards my baby.

Then they revealed to me the shocking news that I am with twins.

I hugged my stomach and cried out of happiness. I'm carrying two lives inside my womb. The bond between us is growing so fast.

Day by day I had started to long for his love, his touch, his everything. I missed him so much. I'm missing my man. If I had told him that I was pregnant, maybe he would have changed his decision and stayed with me. I should have told him.

I tried to reach his number, but it was switched off, I even sent him a message that I loved him, but it couldn't reach him, seems he changed his number.

When I was in my 20 weeks, I find an apartment to live but that place was so cheap and creepy. I couldn't able to stand for any second there, but I adjusted myself and lived there for the sake of my babies.

I'm getting heavy every day and I couldn't even feel my legs. If I want to get up I need someone's help. If I want to go to bed I need someone's help besides the leg cramp is not helping. But I have no one for my side, for my babies. I was left alone with my babies.

Finally, I get a job from a decent company as a personal assistant. I was so happy and even reached heaven. Hereafter I don't need to worry about my everyday expenses; I can afford my every need.

They asked me to join on Jan 5 and send me an offer letter. I have two more months left to join my new company. So, I left my part-time job at my OB's suggestion.

She strictly told me to take bed rest until I reach 7 months. I obliged what she said because my babies are my priority.

"Take the medicine at the correct time, don't do any work." Kalish's voice echoed through my mind. If he had been with me, he would have said the same thing that he said to his sister. I doubt he even allowed me to walk by myself.

I rubbed my baby's bump with all my love. What is he doing now? Did he eat? How he is doing all these days without me? He deserves to know about our children. My babies need their dad's support, I'm not heartless to separate them from their dad.

His love for me is unconditional but he didn't realize it. That's it. It's just a misunderstanding; we can fix the problem once we talk.

I went through his social media and find out that he is going to California next week for his business dealings. He is one of the successful businessmen all around the world and I feel proud of him.

He will become a good CEO in the future because that gene is running through their system.

If my babies are boys, they will meet their dad's expectations. I don't know the gender of my babies, I kept it for a surprise. It doesn't matter whether they are boys or girls; I love both of them with all my heart like I love their father.

You may call me blind or stupid, but I love him. I booked a ticket to California on Dec 31st. I was so excited to meet him and give him a surprise. How his reaction would be? I grinned at the thought and packed all my belongings to fly over to California.

I reached California at 12.30 in the morning. The sound of people's screaming and the lightning echoed through the whole city. Different colors were boomed through the sky followed by people's loud applaud.

The New Year celebration was overwhelming everyone's heart with happiness. "We will find daddy soon," I assured my babies and felt the small kick inside my stomach.

They are so excited to meet their dad like their mom. At 5 in the evening, I went to the 'Ghahar Stadium' the place where I can find him but was stunned when I saw him with a woman.

There, the man, who was the father of my babies, was holding her by her waist and they were grinning ear to ear. So, he finds another girl and moved on.

I bit my lips to control my sob and turned my heels to walk away. Too many emotions started to cloud my already painful heart that made my vision go to blur, and the last thing I heard was a heavy horn before my head started to spin around and I fell on the road with my stomach. I tried to protect my stomach but in no vain.

I screamed out of my lungs when I felt a sharp pain inside my stomach and felt a warm liquid is running through everywhere on the road.

"Mam are you okay?" A blond guy asked and kneeled beside me.

"Oh My God! She is bleeding." A woman I assumed was his girlfriend gasped covering her mouth with her hands.

"Please, save my babies." I pressed both my hand together silently asking them to take me to the hospital. The boy carried me in his arms and carefully set me in his car before he fastens the car.

"Take a deep breath. We will reach anytime soon." The girl tried to comfort me.

"Daniel, drive fast! She is losing her consciousness." The girl yelled. The pain I felt inside my stomach was unbearable; it likes someone stabbing me in my womb and cutting me into pieces.

"Take her to the emergency ward, she has labor pain," Daniel ordered to the nurse. His shirt was soaked with my blood, my children's blood. I'm barely reached 30 weeks. How my children will survive?

"Hey! Don't worry, you will be alright." He assured me, taking my hands with his until they took me inside the labor ward.

"I can't...." I cried clutching the sheet so tightly.

"Just one more push. The baby is almost out." The doctor encouraged me.

I gathered all my strength before I gave one big push and heard a faint sound of my baby's cries. "It's a boy". She smiled at me and I nodded my head. "Give him oxygen." I heard someone instruct the nurse.

"Is my baby okay? ahhhhh..." I cried when another contraction hit me.

"Your second baby is on the way, Push."

"Ahhhhhhhhh......" Once again, I pushed and heard my baby's high pitch voice. "It's a girl." Thank God my babies are okay. My eyelids got heavy before I drifted into the darkness.

Two hours later, they handed me, my baby boy. He was crying the whole time, but his sound was barely audible. I was exhausted but happy at the same time.

I carefully brought him near my breast and started to feed him. He is the replica of his dad, same blue eyes, and Light brown hair. "You are so tiny," I whispered and kissed his forehead.

"Where Is my baby girl?" I asked dread overwhelming my body.

"We kept her in the incubator, she is so fragile. The babies are born too early." The nurse gave me an apologetic look.

"Nurse! Why he is not moving? What happened to him?" I stroked my baby, but he doesn't respond. His pink color turned into blue. A gasp escaped from the nurse's mouth and she ran towards me and took my baby away from me.

"Give him a cardiac treatment." The doctor yelled. The nurse pressed my baby's chest numerous times, but he didn't respond. They whispered to each other and their face fell.

"Where are you taking him?" I screamed tears are pooling down my cheeks. He was fine a minute ago. "Please bring him back." I pressed both my hands together hoping they will give my baby back to my arms.

"He died." One of the nurses gave me a pitying look. My happy tears turned into a river of red and I forgot to breathe as someone knocked the air intentionally. A heavy thud inside my chest brought me back where I don't want to come.

"No..." I cried and cried until I passed out.
