Chapter 30: Chapter 30

*Aahil Pov*

How dare she come to my party office and say that she is pregnant and I am the father? I thought still fisting my hands in rage.

So now after knowing who I am, she just thought of trapping me, but didn’t want to do anything with me when she doesn’t know who I actually am.

As if I will again fall for another disaster like this. That time if not for the some part of the brain thinking to work, I would have got married to that girl two years back.

Does she really think she can threaten me like this, and I will get threatened? I thought, snorting and then realized what would Dad say if he gets to know about this.

I will not let him know at all and will deal this with myself unlike the last time. I do not want another disappointing look in his eyes as there were many already.

After just trying to finish the work as much as I can, I reached home for dinner only to get attacked with questions like how as my first day and all. I ignored them and sat down to see Mridula smiling to herself making me frown at her.

“Is everything ok?” I asked her, and she glanced up from the food she placed on the table.

“More than fine!” she replied and again continued to see for arranging when Dileep returned.

I stared at the plate still thinking about the morning incident and wished I didn’t lose the control that day and that too after two years. A few minutes later, everyone got silent, and I glanced to my side to see Tajwar Bhai sitting at his place at the head opposite to Dad.

I am glad for him, but now I am not in the mood to say anything at all. I still can’t believe the dare of her saying that lies when she knows I used protection.

“What happened to you?” Dileep asked him in a whisper.

“It is nothing!” I replied and didn’t even try to glance up.

“So, is she still with you?” Mom asked, and I glanced up a little to see her question is towards Dileep.

“Amrin? She is with me. Why?” he asked her with confusion.

“You need to stop all this, Dileep.” She replied shaking her head.

“What if she tries to tie you with her by doing something drastic?” she added, and I frowned because what she is saying is true, and the same is kind of happening to me.

The next day I paced in the garden feeling restlessness not having any sleep on yesterday night still thinking about the words that woman said to me.

“Will you tell me what happened to make you so restless?” Dileep asked walking near to me.

“Yesterday one girl came to the party office.” I replied, and he nodded asking me to continue.

“I met her once nearly two months back, and now she is saying that she is pregnant with my child.” I said rubbing my forehead.

“What? Is it true?” he asked in complete shock.

“I don’t know! But I don’t think it is I mean I slept with her once so what are the chances of her conceiving.” I replied and cursed myself.

“Why didn’t you ask for parental tests like the last time when you got into the same problem?” he asked me raising his eyebrow.

“Do you need to bring that incident again? It was false, which got proved and I actually threatened this girl for that, but she seems to be ready and even kind of threatened me like saying it will be a problem for me.” I explained.

“You are in deep trouble!” he stated frowning.

“I know! That is why I stopped even dating or anything after a first incident, but I was little drunk, and now I am in this problem.” I said collapsing on the bench.

“All these women are same always trying to gain something in any way. We cannot trust a single woman.” I added with disgust remembering her words that she didn’t want to have any contact with me, but is here to talk when she got to know about my status.

“Try to think of a solution and tell me. I have some work.” He said walking away.

Yeah, right! I just wish she will get the message that I am not a fool and do not reach me again. If she does, then I have to first get a pregnancy test and then paternity.

However, even though she walks away, I cannot let her because she may try the same for another person and even get to succeed.

I called the secretary and asked him to see whether he knows anything about the woman who visited me yesterday and even try to get information about her.

I sat in the living room to have snacks and wait for the phone call. Dileep climbed down the stairs and walked near to us.

“Are you hungry, Dileep?” Mom asked, and he shook his head in negative before sitting beside me.

“Where is Tajwar?” Mom asked Mridula.

“In the room!” she replied serving tea for everyone.

“Well, he should be joining us soon.” Mom said, and Mridula nodded before walking away.

“Are you serious, Mom? What do you think she has? A magic wand?” I asked her frowning with irritation.

“I can expect those questions from Dileep but what happened to you?” Mom asked me.

“There are very few girls who are like Mridula without any greed for money or anything else.” I replied shaking my head thinking about Nipuna.

“Do not worry! I will get you a girl like her as your wife.” Mom said rolling her eyes.

“That is better!” I said, getting up and walked away thinking I would have wished to get married to her itself if not for her marriage with Bhai.

“Are you ok?” Mridula asked when I walked near to the dining table for water.

“Yes! I am fine.” I replied, smiling and walked outside again into the garden to think about this disaster.

For two days, I tried everything to either take away the matter from my head or know about the woman to warn her not to do this again. Dileep tried to assure me that everything will be fine before leaving for his flat, but I don’t think it will.

The very next day I decided to finally forget everything after hearing nothing from her or about her and opened the door to the home to leave for the work only to take a step back.

*Nipuna Pov*

“Are you scared?” Chaitra asked when I fidgeted with my hands.

“Yes! Do you really think I am pregnant?” I asked her trying to stop my foot from tapping on itself.

“That is why we are here, Nipuna. To be sure about that and do not even think about walking away. It took me two days to convince you that you need to do this.” she replied, and I tried to smile but just nodded.

We were called inside, and the doctor gave the news that I am indeed pregnant and started telling me how to take care of myself and everything.

“Can you do a paternity test, doctor?” I asked her thinking that would be more needed now after the encounter with Aahil three days back.

“Oh! We can do it, but it is not safe for all the patients.” She explained and after a few minutes, I stepped outside the room feeling like a loser.

“Everything will be fine, Nipuna.” Chaitra said, assuring me when we walked inside my home after staying silent during the whole ride.

“Fine? I just can’t have a paternity test because of some weak condition inside me without endangering the baby’s life.” I said with frustration.

“It is good that you didn’t want to go with it.” she said trying to assure me.

“No! It is not a good thing.” I said covering my face groaning.

“That stupid Aahil will never believe me now that he is the father. You have no idea how he talked to me that day, Chaitra. Like I am some gold digger and is trying to trap him.” I added and again wished I am not in this situation.

“What?” I heard a booming voice and removed my hands to see dad walking into the living room from the dining area.

“You were supposed to be at the party office.” I mumbled accusing him to be even here present hearing my words.

“I thought to leave after talking with you about marriage with the guy I chose.” He said frowning with anger.

“Like I said I will not marry anyone you choose. And I can take care of the baby myself.” I said, trying to show the confidence which I am not feeling inside from the time I got to know that I am actually pregnant from the doctor itself.

“How dare he says that my daughter is a gold digger? You do not need any money from him, and I will not leave him for this.” He said and I actually felt confused hearing his words.

“What?” I asked him frowning.

“He is looking down on you because you are my daughter. I will not let him behave like that towards our family name.” he replied and now I understood.

“Of course!” I mumbled because for a second, I thought he is angry like any father would be for his daughter’s sake.

“You cannot do anything about it, Dad. I told him the news, and that’s all as now I will move away or something to take care of my baby, who will not even get any bad name for you.” I explained and nodded at Chaitra to help me with the packing.

“No! Like I said he will not be left alone.” He said and started walking outside holding my hand.

“Dad! What are you doing?” I asked him tugging my hand away, but he didn’t stop.

He asked the driver to drive to the address he gave while I continued to tell him that not a single thing would have any effect without a test.

We stood before the main door and was about to knock, but the door opened showing the person on whom both my dad, and me are angry for different reasons.

“What are you doing here?” he asked and at the same time three people walked near to the door.

“Aahil! What is happening?” A man asked who seems to be his dad.

“She is trying to spoil my career, Dad. And seem like she is taking the help of our opposition.” Aahil replied gesturing my Dad.

“We need to talk about my daughter.” My Dad said, and I would have laughed at Aahil’s facial expression if I was in a different situation.

They let us sit on the couch in the living room, and I saw a woman serving us tea before moving away while his parents sat before us along with Aahil.

“My daughter is pregnant and the father is your son.” My Dad stated and trust him to be so blunt.

“Aahil! What is this?” His dad asked while his mom sat in shock.

“She is lying, Dad. I do not think I am responsible for that.” Aahil immediately replied.

“What about tests?” His dad pointed out at us.

Then I explained him about the danger to the baby, but showed him the proof that I am pregnant and Aahil commented that how convenient it is to say that the test is dangerous to escape from it.

“Fine! We will share the information with the media and will see what will happen.”Dad threatened making everyone, including me look at him in shock.

“Dad!” I mumbled, but he just ignored me making me want to throw some vase on his head not to care for my dignity.

“They both will get married.” His dad stated and this time everyone’s shock turned towards him.

“What?” Aahil and I shouted and then glanced at each other faces.

“The wedding will be held tomorrow afternoon or at night. It will depend on the way of the preparations can be held.” His dad added, and I shook my head not wanting to marry someone like this.

“We need to talk.” Aahil whispered when we walked to the door to leave, and I nodded before taking his card which he passed into my hand.

All this would have not happened if only he listened to me yesterday and signed away the rights. Maybe it is not too late to do it.
