From Here On [Virat Kohli Fanfiction]

Chapter 44

I sat on the bar stool in my kitchen, looking down at a whole stack of delicious looking pancakes. Virat made these while I was in the shower and now he was forcing me to eat them. Not that I was complaining because I was starving but I was still very pissed at the whole nonchalant and chilled attitude he was throwing off. ''Zara chalo eat up. I can't believe I'm having to fuss about your food. It's usually the other way around,'' he says while shaking his head in disapproval. Ha? Yeh kab meri maa bangaya?! ''Is it even safe to eat?,'' I ask while examining the pancake. He frowns at me and motions me to eat. Giving in to him, I eat up. A moan of appreciation leaves my mouth with the first bite and he looks at me grinning from ear to ear. Just when I was going to take a second one, I stilled and felt my stomach turn. Virat raised his eyebrow at me and when I didn't reply, he got worried. ''Zara are you alright?'' Bringing my hand to my mouth I tried to take deep breaths. In a matter of seconds I felt my breakfast come up and I ran to the bathroom. Virat strode behind me and pulled my hair back as I my body convulsed in heaves of vomit. He rubbed my back and washed my face. ''Is this a daily thing... Or should we be worried?'' he asked with concern written all over his face as he sat me down on the bed. ''It's morning sickness..funny thing is, it doesn't always happen in the morning,'' I say as I drink some water. He looks at me as though he doesn't know what to do. This is all so new to him, and me...it's almost funny to watch. My phone rang and it lit up with Adi's name flashing. Virat glanced at the caller ID and his jaw clenched and he looked at me questionably. Ignoring him, I answered.
''Zara! You finally picked up! Are you okay? I've been calling for 2 days nonstop! I was going to come see you to see if you were okay..'' Shit. My phone was on silent and put away ever since this shit storm hit with Virat. ''Adi, I'm fine. I was just busy with some personal issues..don't worry about me,'' I tried to mollify him. ''Are you sure? Thik ho to tum? You know you can tell me anything...is it Virat?'' He said his name with such disgust, I couldn't help but snap at him. ''Adi whatever the matter is, it's personal. I'm sorry I know you're trying to help but it's private and I'd like to keep it that way.''
''Accha thik hain...Karan called and asked for those papers he asked you to edit?'' SHIT. I hit my forehead with my hand when I realized I had so much work to do. This caught Virat's attention and he looked at me raising his eyebrows. ''Uh...Tell him that I'm working on the last piece, and it will be ready by tomorrow. I'll hand it to him personally when I'm at the head quarters tomorrow okay?'' ''Zara kya yaar.. You never slack like this. Take care okay?'' ''Okay..bye,'' I hang up. I slowly get up on my feet, and walk over to my laptop desk. ''What are you doing?'' I heard Virat ask from behind me. ''I have work Virat...Papers due tomorrow. If you're bored, please leave because this will take long,'' I explained to him. He came to me and sat on the desk. ''You're not going to work,'' he stated. I rolled my eyes and glared at him. ''And who are you to tell me that?'' ''Your fiancé.'' I literally laugh at that. ''Fiancé?! Since when?'' ''Since I asked you to marry me.'' ''Mainey toh ha nahi kahan. Toh how're you my fiancé? You do realize you need consent from me too?'' ''You will give in soon. Now, you're not going to work for the next 9 months and that's it.'' ''Virat, I don't want to fight. I need this job. I can take pregnancy leave later on but right now it's too early! I'm not even 10 weeks pregnant!'' I can't help but scream. ''You don't need this job. Anything you need, I can give to you. And I don't care, you're not going to work. It's stressful for you Zara,'' he explained to me like I was a kid. LIKE I NEEDED EXPLAINING. He was so frustrating! ''Virat you have no say in this! What am I going to do all day bored at home?!''
''You won't be bored at home.. I'll be with you.'' ''For 9 months?! As if you don't have IPL coming up in a few days? As if you don't have countless hours of training each day?'' He frowned at me and his resolve faltered. YES! Come Zara you can do this. He opened his mouth like he wanted to say something but closed it again. ''Virat see? Be rational for once. You'll be busy too. And I promise you that I'll take my maternity leave whenever I think it's necessary,'' I said gently. He sighed and agreed. I couldn't help but smirk for winning this argument with him. It doesn't happen much. He looked at me and narrowed his eyes. ''Are you smirking at me Ms. Malik?'' I smiled and shook my head. ''I wouldn't dare Mr. Kohli. Now let me work! Unlike some millionaire, hot shot cricketers, us normal people have to work hard.'' He shook his head with a smile on his face as he walked to the living room. ''I'm here if you need anything!''
I couldn't help but feel warm and happy at the thought of him being with me. No Zara. You cannot give in. He can only hurt you and you cannot trust him...but he was being so sweet now..AH I DONT KNOW. I shook my head in despair and turned to work.
