Chapter 48: Chapter 48

"Stay inside the car, I will bring her." Kayish kissed my forehead before climbing out of the car to pick Sweety from her school. We are on the way to the hospital to take our first ultrasound.

"Okay." I nodded my head and glanced outside the window where he is walking towards the campus. Ten minutes later, I saw both father and daughter are hugging each other while walking towards the car that made me smile instantly.

What a beautiful view!! "You get an amazing dad." I rubbed my stomach unconsciously.

Kayish opened the door and placed Sweety on the back seat then joked to get inside the driver seat. "Mommy!" Sweety wrapped her hand around my neck from behind and kissed my lips.

"Hey, baby." I rubbed her hair. "I want to sit here." She pointed my lap most probably wanted to sit on the passenger seat.

"Ahh--" How can I tell no when my little girl asked me a favor. "Okay come." I tried to take her in my arms but kayish stopped me saying "don't strain yourself." making me roll my eyes.

"Overprotective," I muttered under my breath. He ignored my statement and lifted her in his arms then placed her in my lap.

"Now little princess, shall we go?" he asked igniting the engine.

"Yess!" she gave him a toothless smile then looked at me. "Mommy, where are we going?" as expected she asked the question making me groan playfully.

Kayish gave me a 'what's going on look but I shook my head. She is always curious to know where I am taking her whenever we go out.

"Hospital," Kayish replied, his eyes solely on the road, well his responsibility level has been increased as twice.

"Why? Is anyone hurt?" She pouted her lips making me smile.

"No baby, no one gets hurt. We are going to check how far our small baby is doing." I kissed her hair; pregnancy dragged me more closely towards my daughter.

"Ohh." Her mouth formed in an 'O' shape. "I'm so excited!!" she giggled clasping her hand together.

After one fine hour of driving, we reached the hospital at 4:45 pm. Kayish lifted Sweety in his arms and interlinked my finger with him with that we walked inside the hospital as a perfect couple.

"I'm going to apply the gel, it feels slightly cold." Dr. Stella Quartz warned before applying the gel to my abdomen. She is the best doctor in New York that Jack recommended to us.

I held Kayish's hand so tightly when I felt the cold sensation on my abdomen. Though It's not my first it feels new to me.

"You okay?" he asked worriedly. I wanted to laugh at his face. What can I say? Look at him! He is in the uttermost shock, like, his wife is in labor. Oh, God! How he is going to handle the situation when I have my labor pain. Crap! I think Sweety is better than him.

"Yeah! I'm fine." I assured him, hiding my laugh.

"Look, this is your baby." The doctor pointed her finger to the screen where I could see the small bean-shaped figure. It is so tiny, my heart mellowed seeing my peanut.

During my first pregnancy, I took the ultrasound sound when I was in my second trimester and I missed a lot of my babies’ growth.

"Our baby," Kayish whispered and kissed my forehead in nth time. "Yes, our baby," I whispered back.

"Okay, now we are going to hear the baby's heartbeat. Are you ready?" we both nodded our heads eagerly waiting to hear our baby's heartbeat.

She moved to the monitor and pressed the button, immediately the room filled with the normal rhythm of our baby's heartbeat, it's music to my ear. We smiled looking at each other, unknown emotions flooded through his face that I could read, regret.

He is regretting because he missed our first baby's everything but he doesn't know that I too missed their everything. Whom shall I blame?

"The baby is doing well in her momma's womb but Riya you have to take care of your health more attentively." She removed the pair of gloves from her hand and set them on the table.

"Don't worry doctor I will take care of her," Kayish replied thoughtfully pecking my lips.

"Okay fine. I will give you medicine. Nothing more, just don't get stressed and take the medicine on time." She wrote something on plain paper and handed it to us.

"Sure, thank you, doctor." Kayish shook the doctor's hand politely.

"Where is Sweety?" I asked Kayish while walking out of the room after finishing all our formalities.

"She is in a safe hand." He squeezed my hand.

"Huh?" I gave him a confusing look.

"I met our colleague Sara Mane in the hallway, she is here to meet Dr. Stella Quartz." He shrugged his shoulder.

"Ohh!" that is what I managed to say but the question didn't fail to arise in my mind about what her doing here. I mean she is from London and from my assumptions she has no relative here in New York.

We walked further towards the hallway until we met Sweety who is playing happily with Sara, her mouth was smudged with full of chocolate. Oh, God! Why everyone gives her chocolate, I groaned internally.

"Relax! One Chocolate won't harm her." Reading my mind Kayish answered as a prophecy.

"Hi, Sara. Nice to meet you." I smiled and stretched my hand for a handshake.

"Hey, Riya!" She sounds unsure, but why?

"Huh." She shook my hand but said nothing except that 'hum.

"You okay, you look pale," I asked because right now she seems to lose all her color, and point to be noticed, it happened after meeting me but I have nothing to do with her. She was my neighbor once a time when I was living with my so-called parents. Other than that we don't have any history and she is a nice girl.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine." She Laughed nervously and her eyes glued somewhere behind me.

"Sara, come on. It's our time to meet Dr. Stella." My body shuddered by hearing that familiar voice. I snapped my head in the direction of him and more like to my dismay I meet him after a long time of my life span.

He stopped on his spot like he saw a ghost unable to believe seeing me right in front of him more likely healthy and alive. He must have disappointed me because I still have my breath, the cursing words that he had given four years ago didn't work on me.

What bad luck?

Voluntarily, I dragged Sweety from Sara and hid her behind my back wanting to protect her from the prying eyes. Sensing my uncomfortable state, Kayish picked her in his arms but to my surprise, he is calm like a sea. Aren't they were like a wolf and hunters?

"Riya." He called my name when I was about to turn my heels to walk away from his sight. I feel disgusted standing under his stare, I hate him to hell.

"So you are married to this heartless man." I threw her a question and walked away not waiting to hear her answer. My lovely day was ruined by him. Shit! I cursed while walking to the parking lot.

"You okay?" Kayish asked by opening the car door for me.

"I think so." I gave him a plain reply and once again I heard that annoying sound of him calling my name.

"Don't call my name." I threw him my best murderous glare. "Please--" he is panting heavily. "Just five minutes." He begged.

"Kayish, please start the car, I'm not in the mind to talk with anyone." He nodded his head and settled Sweety inside the passenger seat before walking towards the other side of the car to get inside the driver's seat.

"Please baby girl just a few minutes." He begged, fake tears already forming in the edge of his eyes.

"Don't call me like that Zach." I roared angrily. "I don't want to see you." I gritted my teeth. If one more second he is planning to stand here I won't hesitate to punch his pretty face.

"Riya, get inside." Kayish opened the door from inside and I slipped into it without wasting another second. "Please baby, just forgive me." He knocked on the window but my good time Kayish started the car already.

"Riya!! Stop the car. Please baby." I saw him running behind the car through the rearview mirror but who cares.

The driving to my apartment was hell silent more to my dislike. When I thought my life becomes back to normal he jumped out of nowhere to spoil everything.

---

I lost my appetite but was forced to eat because of the baby. Kayish didn't ask anything, he seemed to understand and ordered our food. I planned this night for a special dinner but it was all ruined because of him.

Kayish fed Sweety and brought her bathroom to bathe her, he even put her to sleep. Even though It all is new to him he is handling this perfectly. He adores Sweety very much, and the father and daughter relationship is very strong.

"Come. Let's sleep." He kissed my neck from behind. I nodded my head and walked towards my room. I climbed on the right side of sweety where he sat on her left side.

"I'm sorry. I couldn't able to defend you." He has the pain in his face that I successfully detached from him before the hospital incidents and now it was back again.

"No." I squeezed his hand. "You two are different, never compare yourself with him," I said sternly.

He inhaled deeply before nodding his head. We laid on the bed facing each other until sleep consumed me but the question is why he is here? Doesn't he hate me to the core that he told me to die, then why did he act weird like he is happy to see me again? Was this one of his dramas?
