Continuation from previous part...

She was pacing when everyone entered. She asked them to settle down. They all sat wherever they found place.

Nan:- Guys... I hid a thing from you all. Actually I have a boyfriend.

They all looked at her blankly.

Nan:- We have been in a relationship since last 6 years. He is my childhood friend. We grew up together. We have age gap of 2 years.

Mahibhai just nodded asking her to continue.

Nan:- We used to fight a lot back when we were kids worst than enemies but our equation changed when I lost my parents. I used to stay all silent and cold with everyone. I created a wall around me but he broke it. He saw right through me. He stood by me in every phase. We were in college when he proposed me. I took my own time to accept it cuz I had that constant fear of losing my loved ones and losing him was something I couldn't afford at any cost. We started our careers and both got busy but still spared time for each other. Like any other relationship we too had fights but we eventually found our way back to each other. Everything seemed fine till last year when a storm hit our lives. He was busy with his company and I had a conference to attend in New York. I was about to leave the next day when I felt sick. He suggested to visit the doctor but he couldn't accompany me. I got my tests done. At night I received the reports that I was 3 weeks pregnant...

They all were too shocked to all the happening.

Nan:- I was scared how to reveal it to him. We weren't even married and I didn't knew how to tell him. I somehow gathered the courage and told him at night when he came back home.Initially he didn't react. I thought he wasn't ready to take the responsibility of the baby that teared my heart apart but suddenly he hugged me tightly and started shedding tears. He told how happy he was with the news. Mumma and Papa were out of the country for some work so we decided to tell them once they come back. He grew protective of me. He was so gentle and loving despite my mood swings and tantrums of the world.

She smiled a bit. Everyone saw her eyes glint at the thought of it. Suddenly they saw the glint and smile fading.

Nan:- Everything went well for the next two weeks. Suddenly one day I had pain and in my abdomen and rushed to the hospital. There we came to know that I had an internal bleeding. He asked the doctor to save my life. I was out of danger but I....

She broke down. Mahi bhai immediately took him in his embrace.

Nan:- We los...lost the baby... Everything shattered...

Everyone felt her pain. Their eyes turned misty.

Nan:- Mumma Papa never knew about this. After my discharge from the hospital Manik took care of me but he didn't even react a bit to the news of the losing our baby. We got into arguments because of that. It was like he didn't even felt upset about it... I thought Manik will feel something but no he didn't... He joined office and got busy in his work. It felt as if he has accepted that our baby is no more. Why Mahibhai??? Kya usse thoda sa bhi feel nahi hua??? Am I a burden to him... Was my baby a burden to him???

Mahibhai:- No bacha... You aren't a burden to anyone. Not was my bacha's bacha a burden to anyone. You know kiddo there must have been some reason for him to behave like that. You only told na that he saw right through you then ask yourself and answer me was he wrong that he acted strongly for his girl hmm???

Nan:- Bhai I know that he stood strong for me but at some point of time he also needed to let out his feelings. Now it feels like the Mani I know is gone long ago this person is an imposter.
