Marry Me

facing reality

" It's only been 4 weeks... about 1 month to be exact..." she told me as I sat frozen in a chair in front of her.

" I'm pregnant..." I said
" I'm going to be a mother??" I asked
" This is not the right time. I'm ending the marriage in 1 week..." I said

" you can always abort it... there's still time," aayu suggested and I just shot daggers at her.

" no. I'm not killing my own child," I said sternly.

She looked at me, completely worried at this point.

" Pari... we need to do something of this... you just took over the company and have a lot of work. Your marriage is ending in a week. You can't be pregnant... "

" I know that," I spat

" Are you really willing to be a single mother?"

" I don't know..."

" what about the father... who is it?"
" sohit," I answered and she looked a bit taken aback.

" are you telling him?"

" no... he will stick with me for the baby or leave me. Both ways, my heart is only going to be broken... it'll be better if he doesn't know about my pregnancy even after we've left each other... then he can move on..."

" pari... that only happens in serials. It can't happen when the father is an employee of your company..."

" I will fire him,"

" pari..."

" I'll go away from this country so he can never find me..."

" weren't you the person who said that the father of the kid should know about his existence to Aditi and sohit?"

" I can't do that..."

" why?"

" I'm scared and all alone,"

" but Aditi had a happy life after taking the decision right?"

" she's a perfect girl any boy would want. I am an immature, bossy, short, not so pretty, bitch who is completely opposite to that angel... my ending can never be as happy as hers."

" no. You are only thinking about your negative things... you are a wonderful person who is so good at drawing and can handle a huge company with such ease even if she has not done any kind of business in the last 8 years..."

" I'm a good person for work yes but my personal life is messed up. I have been scarred at 18 and still not gotten over it completely. I cause trouble wherever I go..."

" But you have to tell him pari... he is the father... he deserves to know,"

" I want to...

I'm scared that he will leave me.

I can't tell him...

Aayu... let me just cut off contact with everyone here and go to the USA? I have a plan ready just let me go?" I begged her

" no. You are done with running. Try facing this situation... "

" I can't. "

" both you and sohit's future, as well as 1 life, depends on it. You are not killing it and I agree with your decision but, all your plans of running away I am not tolerating. If you can't tell him then I will tell him. This is something serious and this time pari, you can't run away from reality because you are pregnant..."

She completed and her words struck me, hard...

I'm pregnant
I can't run away from this...
I will have to tell him whether my heart breaks when he leaves or not...

Tears started flowing as I kept thinking about the words aayu just spoke.

I will have to tell him...

" I will have to tell him this right? I have no other option now do I?" I asked her and she nodded.

" shall I call him?" She asked me and I shook my head.

" he has important tests up handle today... they are going to affect the formation of the new drug... I'll probably tell him after he comes back home..."

" you will tell him right?"

" I will try to tell him..."

" don't back out at the last moment and don't be scared. It's a gift for you, cherish it..."

I smiled at what she told me...

Gift from God to cherish for my entire life...

I kept a hand on my stomach area and even if I couldn't feel anything different, just the feeling of knowing that there is something growing inside me made me happy.

I smiled.

" I am going to be a mother in 8 months..." I stated happily and she smiled back.
" yes... and you will be a wonderful mother. I know it..." she told me and I would've smiled even more at the compliment if someone hadn't opened the door.

I turned around to find an irritated scientist who was not supposed to be here walking into the room. his eyes stuck on a paper in his hands.

he looked up and asked," Aayushi... I need samples and.... wait... Pari what are you doing here and why are your eyes swollen?"

this is the worst thing that could ever happen...
