Alia then went and lied on the bed with Pooja and talked about their dreams they want to experience and the baby that will here in seven months time.They carrying on talking for awhile without realizing it,till a knock came on the door and it broke their conversation.they looked up to see Raj standing there with a confuse face and said"Namaste Ammi.....there someone here for you?".Raj said looking next to him at my chambers entrance.
Then a man well dressed step in and Raj walked away when the man asked"Ammi.......is he your child perhaps or?".he asked with a confused face.
Pooja and I instantly jumped up but realized that I'm pregnant and I have to take it slow,so I held my belly and got up slowly and we both bowed,when I responded back laughing"no meri jaan......I took care of him all his life long as a mother and that's what he referred me too!".she stated with a smile and without a second thought I walked up to him and embrace him tightly and said"I missed you my prince!".
He kissed her forehead and placed his chin on her head and said"I'm truly happy to see you.....for two months felt like eternity!".he said while embracing her tightly.
"Am I going crazy or did you pick up some extra weight!".he asked with a smile as he pulled away from the embrace.
Alia then wasn't sure if she could say she was pregnant but knew he would be very happy but also if Zafar comes back into the picture,what then.
"Indeed.....I have!".she said but with a nervous expression.
Well......more like she".Pooja was cut by Alia saying"Pooja is the main cook for laal Mahal and would feed me for hours like a child cause I don't like eating!".Alia replied with showing Pooja to keep her mouth quiet about this.
"Yes it's true....but I will leave you guys to it!".she was just about to walk out the door when Jhanvi begum walked in and saw the prince,she instantly bowed and folded her hands to greet,which me and Bajirao turned her way and she said"it's been awhile my prince.....two months if I'm correct and you!........what are you still doing here....get ready,you know work every night,unlike your dear friend and my most well paid girl.....who hadn't work for two months and she pregnant which is the worst!".She uttered with a serious face but I shut my eyes in agony for her spilling the secret and Bajirao looked at me and I wasn't sure what to expect until he embrace me once again and lift me up and swing me around in a circle and he put me down and asked"is the child mine?".he looked at me,all happy and I'm not sure what to do but also don't want to hurt his feelings cause but I'm already done it since I never told anyone except Pooja about Zafar and Him.
I looked at him and then at Pooja,who smiled for some reason and not sure what to say,a voice at the back of my mind echo to me and said"Alia......what do you want?".the voice said and silence overwhelmed me until I thought it for a short while and said"yes it's yours!".I said feeling scared of the very words I stated.
He picked me up again and swing me around with my face just forcing me to smile but deep down I'm actually regretting letting this secret come out and telling that it's his child.pooja and Jhanvi begum left us when he carried me to my bed and lied me down and he stared at me intensely and kiss my lips which I yearned for badly and kiss him back passionately and as we lay down for hours,he couldn't stop nagging about if he has a baby boy what will he name him.
I couldn't stop smiling and thought how amazing of a father he can be and said"you also.......Pooja also kept on telling me it will be a boy and she will name him!".I stated.
"As much you love Pooja,he my son I will name!".He said with a stern expression and I answered back.
"Well......I love both of you guys dearly but you guys can both give a name since I'm carrying the baby!".I uttered.
He look at me for a while and said nothing after my answer and I wonder why and asked"what wrong?".
"It's the first time I hear you say I love you!".he said caressing my cheek affectively.
"I love you!".I said again.
"I love you more!".he said and pulled my forehead towards him and he kissed it.
