Married to my Bava

Epilogue

"Ranvi, be cautious," Abhi's voice resonates with genuine concern as he gently pulls her towards him, shielding her from the sudden rush of a passing two-wheeler, as if Ranvi were invisible to the biker.

She inhales deeply, placing her hands over her heart, seeking solace in Abhi's reassuring embrace. "It's okay. I'm here. Nothing will happen to you," Abhi murmurs, his fingers tenderly caressing her hair.

"Come, let's go inside first, and then we'll talk," he urges, guiding her into the hospital with a protective grip, their car driving off with the driver at the helm.

Despite Ranvi's fear of being noticed, Abhi assures her that it's too early for students to arrive. Slowly leading her into his cabin, he settles her into a chair and retrieves a stethoscope from the nearby table for a basic checkup.

Sensing Ranvi's unease, Abhi gazes deeply into her eyes. "Ranvi, look at me," his deep voice commands, capturing her attention.

"You look stunning, you know," he continues, casting a spell on her. She nods, entranced, butterflies fluttering in her stomach.

"Let me show you," he whispers, leaning in, quickening her heartbeat. Even though she's carrying his child, every encounter feels like a dream. Proximity to him conjures a cascade of butterflies.

"Look into my eyes," he instructs. Her reflection dances in his brown orbs, where myriad emotions reside. Hypnotized, she loses herself in the deep recesses of his gaze, oblivious to the world around her.

After a pause, she notices his eyes moving, stopping at her lips. Seeking permission, he looks back into her eyes, and she closes hers, nodding. Expecting the warmth of a kiss, she instead feels warmth on her cheeks. Confused, she opens her eyes to find Abhi removing the stethoscope.

"Done," he declares, distancing himself from her. Still processing the unexpected moment, Ranvi sees Abhi wearing a perplexed expression.

"Why are you looking confused, Ranvi? What were you expecting?" he innocently inquires, unaware of her anticipation.

Though she yearns to express her frustration, she simply replies, "Nothing, Bava," and exits.

With a triumphant grin on his face, Abhi realizes the consequences of making her angry. Aware of pregnancy symptoms, he rushes after her, fearing the prospect of her refusing food and medication, leading to his mother's disapproval and both of them giving him the cold shoulder.

"Ranvi, wait, please," he implores, hastily reopening the door. Muttering to himself, he chides his own foolishness, acknowledging the importance of keeping her content.

"Just how fast can you walk, Ranvi? Think about the baby, please," he murmurs, realizing he has already lost sight of her in his quest to make amends.

In the fading twilight, as the sun dipped below the horizon, Abhi found himself descending to the ground near Ranvi's department. The air was charged with anticipation, and a hushed buzz enveloped the surroundings, hinting at an imminent event. Though Abhi usually steered clear of such gatherings, an inexplicable force urged him to approach this one, urging him to confront the unfolding spectacle. Despite his disinterest in the trivial matters that often consumed the college atmosphere, his conscience prevailed, compelling him to investigate the source of the growing commotion.

With each measured step, Abhi treaded carefully toward the gathering, guided by an instinct that whispered to him from within. As the crowd materialized before him, he couldn't help but feel a sense of foreboding. The scene that unfolded before his eyes sent shockwaves through him, igniting an inferno of anger that simmered beneath his calm exterior.
