..............ENJOY............

Keeping the baby was her own decision to escape from trouble she was facing everyday, although she was gaining her sanity back but escaping from her demons was not easier at all.

She knew she needed some distractions, and this child was like a gift to her.

'please baby, don't be angry on mumma, but mumma needs you as much as you need mumma. Mumma loves you the most.'

She couldn't bring herself to trust others, it was fortune of her to be comforted even in time she was most likely to be lost, she was thankful to them for comforting her but her insecurities are creating problems for her to not get suspicious of their intension.

Days passes as usual, but at least there is no further fear and loneliness in her life. It has been few more weeks and she is showing pregnancy symptoms.

Sometimes she felt sick over idea of her baby having 50% DNA of him. But, thinking about this unborn child in her womb spending her/his time with her. she wants to keep this child as happy as possible and teach her/him good teachings and knowledge. Never, even for imagination she wants this child to be like him!

Prachi has started reading books while learning new hobbies in her spare time, she has been discharge from hospital and is back to her old house.

This house have many memories of her life, even if some of those memories were very tragic to remember she wants to face it all rather than running away from it like a coward.

Seating in Indian style with holy Gita in her hand, she was mumbling shlok while caressing her belly. Everyday she reads positive quotes, does yoga and keeps herself as positive as possible.

"Baby, we may face so many problems in our life but we should face it all instead of backing away."

Although her change is taking time but she finding herself accepting this.

" You don't have to come anymore, I can manage everything myself."

She knew it was rude of her to talk like this to Shrishti, but she didn't wanted to take advantage of her or even drag her(s) into her(p) life problems.

" Why? Why can't I be with you? Why do you want to be alone?"

" Ain't you with me just because you pity me? I don't need your pity! I can manage it myself. It's my home, I know what to do?"

It was quite a harsh response to her questions but Prachi didn't minded instead she wanted Shrishti to stop thinking about herself(p) as someone pitiable.

" I don't pity you. What happened to you was wrong, but you have gotten second chance to change everything. Cherish it, and let me be with you. I understand your personal space but if you think I am with you because of some petty reason than my friend our friendship of years was really a waste."

That day Prachi had quarrel with Shrishti, at least that little quarrel lessened her worrisome thoughts.

Suddenly doorbell rang pulling her out of her thoughts, she got up not before placing the book to it's place, she opened the door to find Shrishti standing outside with bags in both of her hands.

"You have bags in both of your hands, how did you rang the bell?"

Prachi was confused, as she asked trying to take one of the bag in her hand when she saw other two hands suddenly snatching both of the bags.

" I did it."

It was Jigar shrishti's friend, Jigar was more like her boyfriend. Both of them liked each other, and Jigar was just her type. Funny, enthusiastic and positive person.

Jigar knew everything about Prachi but he instead encouraged her to move on and live a life with new start.

It was good to be around someone with positive attitude, Jigar was the one who suggested Prachi to read positive quotes and Bhagwat Gita which in real calmed her.

Earlier she used to cry over everything happened continuously but now she rather wants to start a new chapter of her life than crying over spoiled milk.

" You both go quickly wash yourself, why didn't you guys had umbrella even knowing it is rainy season!" Closing the main door she nagged at both looking at their wet appearance.

Prachi suddenly started to act like mother around everyone, maybe it was because she was going to be mother soon. Jigar laughed as he quickly placing bags on kitchen counter went off to bathroom while Shrishti murmured from behind.

" I was having umbrella with me, but this fellow wanted to enjoy rain! What enjoy? It was muddy everywhere! Only I know how troublesome it was to save myself from getting dirty."

" Don't murmur! Go wash your hands and feet! Ah, sometime I feel like I have got myself two immature kids!"

" Yes mumma!"

Shrishti teased Prachi who ignoring her went inside kitchen leaving giggling Shrishti behind.

'It's good to see that everything is turning out well for you Prachi. I wish you don't have to face anything like this again!'

" Shrishti! Go wash yourself and come help me in kitchen! Why did you bought cauliflower? Ah, I hate that! No way, you got capsicums too! What an eggplant is doing here?"

Hearing her shout from kitchen Shrishti rubbed her ears and said, " why are you so picky? Damn, now you are acting childish!"

Soon washing herself Shrishti helped Prachi in kitchen while Jigar too helped them time to time, and they had their dinner like a family in Indian style.

" Prachi, me and Jigar would be leaving this city for a week. We have to attend a conference at Ahmedabad, so if you want anything we will get it before our departure."

Smiling a little she hugged Shrishti and said, " Shrishti, thank you for being with me. I really don't want to trouble you much."

" Stop it okay! I want to do this all for you. And yes you are not troubling me apart from nagging at me all the time."

" And me too! Really Prachi, you are becoming more like my mother. Oh, by the way, do you guys wanna eat ice cream?"

Soon both of them left to their respective house, all this while apart from Shrishti no one came. She didn't knew wether Arpita and Ruby don't know or they don't want to meet her.

They used to be friends, although she had good bonding with Shrishti, but still sometime it hurts to think that how easily both of them are neglecting her.

' it's okay! I can live no matter what! Just everything remains the same for forever.'

He was breathing or was trying to breath as his chest moved up and down with him huffing.

He looked up finding cold metal touching his sweaty forehead, he immediately tried to break free from ropes around him.

Pressing metal further onto his skin he asked in his husky voice,

"How was your escape, Betrayer?"
