Frolic of Stars

Part 8

Madhu and Trishna sat in Madhu's room. All the while during dinner Madhu was thinking what would RK be doing and whether he would be eating or not. After a month almost for the first time she wasnt feeling like eating. She remembered she was the one hogging like a pig and RK would smile at her sillyness. But today she was playing with her spoon more than eating.

"Madhu.." Trishna called out to her jerking her out of her thoughts..

"Why are you so lost?" Trishna asked concerned.

"Lost.. am i?" madhu asked a little stunned.

"You were this way at the dining table also.. and i havent seen you smile properly since I came.. what is it?" She asked concerned.

"Its nothing Trish.." Madhu lied.

"You know.. even a stranger could tell that you are grossly upset over something and here you sit lying to me.. who knows you since childhood." Trishna said glaring at her.

Madhu just looked away in reply.

"Is everything fine? Between you and jeeju? You came here suddenly. He didnt even meet anyone at home too.. Did you both have a fight?" Trishna asked concerned

"No.. not at all.. we never fight.. i mean we do fight most of the time but those are most of the time friendly arguments.. and I know he just loves to see me irritated thats why he does that.." Madhu said smiling to herself as she told her that.

Trishna smiled relaxed hearing her. "Then what is it? Why do you look so bothered?"

"I dont know if I should tell this to you" Madhu said apprehensively.

"What is it that you cant tell me!" Trishna exclaimed getting offended.

Madhu realizing that it wont be of much benefit trying to argue with her. She closed her eyes and took in a deep breath.
"I am pregnant" she said finally.

Suddenly she heard a gasp and that's when she realized that it was Trishna she was talking to. She opened her eyes instantly and just in time she closed her wide opened mouth with her hand. She pressed on her but her scream radiated through her widened eyes.

"Shut up you mutt!! You will awaken everybody" Madhu said angrily in a pressed tone.

Trishna calmed herself down and gestured that she was fine now. Madhu glared at her for a second before leaving her mouth. And Trishna now sat with a big ear to ear grin while Madhu looked at her nervously.

"Oh my God.. I am gonna be a maasi." She shrieked in excitement.

Madhu smiled at her as she wished that she could have been equally excited as she was.

"Okay so that cant be the problem.. so what is the problem?" Trishna said getting back to point.

"I dont know if we are ready for it" Madhu said looking down.

"What? Madhu you cant say that now.." Trishna said shocked.

"I know.. Thats why I am confused.. I am anxious.." she said looking down.

"Is jeeju so upset with this? That he left you here suddenly.. That man should have thought before he pleasured himself.." Trishna said getting angry as she thought that RK was angry at her friend for getting pregnant.

"No.. he doesnt know that.." Madhu quickly defended him.

Trishna looked at her for a few seconds. "Then you should say 'You' are not ready for this.. and then even you should have thought about it before pleasuring yourself.. You cant just have all enjoyments.. there would be a responsibility too.."
