*****
Just then, Gautam's phone started ringing. Parth was calling him.
Gautam knew that he was spending a lot of time with Shreya. He narrowed his eyes for a moment and did not want to answer the call.
However, Megha saw that Parth was calling him. She looked at him and asked, "What's wrong... is it... Shreya?"
Gautam's eyes twitched. He breathed in and said, "It may be."
Megha said, "Just answer the call. If you don't, how will you know what she's trying to do?"
She was right. He would not be able to plan his next step if he did not know what Shreya wanted to do.
He had to ask her what exactly she was doing.
Prior to this, he had already blocked Shreya's number. Perhaps she had no choice but to use Parth's phone.
He guessed that this was probably the case. Sure enough, he picked up the phone and heard Shreya's voice.
"Gautam..." Through the phone, Shreya's voice triggered numerous unpleasant memories in Gautam's mind. His voice turned steely as he asked, "What happened? What do you want?"
"Gautam, did Megha already told you about my pregnancy?" Shreya asked bluntly without formality.
"Stop wasting time. Just tell me frankly what you want," Gautam said.
Shreya asked, "Gautam, how can you be so fierce towards me?!"
"I'm not being fierce towards you. We have nothing to do with each other now. I'm only picking up your call because I want to clarify things with you."
"Fine. Let's meet now and talk about it since you want to clarify things with me."
"Just tell me over the phone."
"No way. I'll only speak to you in person. Otherwise, I'll give birth to your child and appear before Megha with my child. I don't believe the two of you will be able to continue your relationship smoothly then."
Gautam drew in a deep breath. Beside him, Megha hastily said, "Darling, be rational, be rational-"
Gautam turned to look at here. In the end, he nodded at the phone. "Fine. We'll talk about it in person."
Megha looked at him. "It's always better to clarify things regardless of the circumstances. Anyway, we don't have to fear her since our conscience is clear."
Gautam asked, "Does it really not bother you?"
Megha pouted. "Forget it. Everyone has had their fair share of past relationships. Besides, you were in love with her for so many years..."
Then, Gautam pushed her against the wall. "Yes, before you appeared."
His face was suddenly so close. Megha looked at him and said, "What did I do? I didn't do anything."
