Mistress of His Heart : Part Nineteen

Thanks to all for voting and commenting on the previous part.

Pragya stood in the middle of Abhishek's bedroom and looks around curiously. His parents hadn't even bothered to see her. Pragya sighs.

"You okay?" Abhishek asks her from behind.

Pragya turns to look at him and nods.

Abhishek walks to her and stops in front of her. Pragya wanted to ask him why he had lied to her about not missing her and not realizing that she had left, then she decides not to, if he had wanted to tell her the truth then he wouldn't have lied.

"I'm going to sleep." Pragya tells him and walks to the bed.

Abhishek gets on the bed next to her. Pragya closes her eyes and goes to sleep.

Abhishek lies on his side as he watched her sleep. he knew that it had been tough days for her.

His gaze moves down toward her stomach. He gently keeps his hand over her stomach. They were going to have a baby. it was so scary and he had no idea how ready he was for this, but he was going to be as good a father as he can be. He moves towards Pragya and gently kisses her on her forehead.

He moves back and sees Pragya watching him.

"Are you still angry with me for blackmailing you?" Abhishek asks her softly.

Pragya sadly lowers her gaze. "You threatened to take our baby away from me."

"You were refusing to come with me, Pragya." Abhishek guiltily tells her.

"Would you've taken our baby away from me if I hadn't married you?" Pragya asks worriedly.

"What do you think?" Abhishek softly asks her.

Pragya looks at him, if she thought he was the type who would separate a mother from her baby then she would have never loved him. Pragya moves to him and hugs him. "You lie a lot." Pragya sadly complaints to him.

Abhishek hugs her and kisses her on top of her head.

"Why won't you just tell the truth?" Pragya asks him as she asked him.

Abhishek hesitantly looks away. "I don't know."

Pragya sighs and hides her face on his chest.

"Go to sleep, baby. you need rest."

"We are going to have a baby, so you shouldn't be calling me baby anymore." Pragya tells him smiling.

Abhishek chuckles. "Let the baby be here first. Then I'll think of something else to call you."

"You did civil engineering?" Pragya asks curiously seeing the book on the table.

Hearing her, Abhishek who was sitting on the bed wearing his shoes, curiously looks up at her. "No, I did business management." Abhishek replies as he wore his shoes.

"Then this?" Pragya asks him curiously.

Abhishek looks at her for a few seconds then sighing he says "I wanted to do civil engineering but Dad wouldn't let me. he said I have to manage his business so I need to learn business management."

Pragya didn't know what to tell him. so, she gently keeps her hand on his shoulder.

"I started the construction business all by myself because it was my passion. Whatever I know, I learned by myself."

"It is doing really well, right?" Pragya asks him smiling.

"Yeah." Abhishek replies smiling then he stands up and tells Pragya softly. "Pragya, if our baby doesn't want to take over the business then I won't care. and I will not let anyone force it on our baby."
