THEIR UNWANTED MARRIAGE

Part 62

Happy Reading!

Arohi's POV:

I got a job offer from one of the biggest fashion firm, they wanted to hire me. It's such a big thing when a company themselves want to hire you.

I was on cloud nine, but I couldn't bring myself to tell Abhir about it.

He wants me to go back to India with him. I know that I should go back, but I can't.

That house, it will always remind me of that dreadful day. Not only that, the days we spent fighting, arguing and disliking each other. I don't want to go back to those bad memories.

There are good memories as well, but the bad ones always overpower the good ones.

I don't want my babies to suffer in any way. I have always tried my best to give them the life they deserve. I don't want them to miss out on anything.

Anyways, I came to the interview with some excuses, which he bought thankfully.

The interview went well and the package they provide is tooooo good.

But all my happiness died when I came out and checked my phone.

5 missed calls from Daycare. 15 missed calls from Caroline & 50 missed calls from Abhi. There are several messages as well.

All the bad thoughts come in my mind. What happened? Are the kids fine?

Daycare: Dear, Miss. Verma, your kids Abhira and Abhir are suffering from viral flu. We request you to come and pick them up from the daycare.

Caroline: Babe the kids are sick pick up the call

Caroline: Your husband is picking them from daycare, but reach home soon.

Abhishek: The kids are sick Aru, where are you?

Abhishek: I am taking them home, come back soon we need you.

Abhishek: The kids have fallen asleep but they will need you when the wake up.

Abhishek: Goddam it Arohi where are you? The kids are not fine and you are MIA, just tell me you are safe?

Abhishek: Arohi please reply me baby. I am afraid.

My hands are shaking and my eyes are blurry. I rush out and take the bus home.

I am just run from the bus stop. Tears are streaming down my eyes continuously.

I frantically open the door of my apartment and rush inside. I am breathing erratically.

I see Abhi, Varun and Riti sitting in the living room. But my mind is too much of a message to gather anything else.

"They are fine. They are sleeping in the room. Don't worry" Abhi consoles me but I shake my head.

I go inside the room. I need to see them myself. They are sleeping soundly with open mouth, just like their father.

I kiss their foreheads, trying not to make any sound to disturb them. Abhi caress' my back and takes me outside of the room.

The moment he closed the door, I burst into tears hugging him.

"Shhhh they are fine Aru. Why are you crying. Nothing happened hmm"

"Abhi... They are so weak" I sob.

"Naah baby, they are strong. So strong just like you hmm" he wiped my tears.

"They are weak Abhi. Very weak. They have very low immunity as they are prematures" I clutch his shirt in a fist "I should have been careful."

"Shhh Aru it's okay. They are fine that's what matters right" I nod and he kissed my forehead.

"C'mon now stop crying hm. I won't be able to take care of three three sick babies na" he pouted.

"We need to take them to the hospital..." He cut me off

"We will take them to he best child doctor. We will make them eat healthy healthy food. Won't let them exert themselves. Will make them take proper rest. We will take care of each and everything okay? So now just stop worrying so much" he wiped the ears which again left my eye.

I hugged him tightly. "They are the reason I am alive Abhi. I can't see them in pain or sick. Please make them fine just like before"

"They are our babies, and they will be fine before we even know it" he kissed my hairs.

In the past, the kids have never fallen sick so suddenly, which made me even more afraid.

The doctor, after their birth, told me to take precautions and better care of them. And I did very well.

I made them eat all the nutritional food items and vitamins. During weather changes I took extra care, like make them wear masks.

But this time, I don't know how this happened. But we need to get them checked thoroughly. Thou their daycare doctor said it's nothing to worry about, but still.

I took a deep breath to calm the chaos of my mind. The kids are fine and are with me.

Now that my mind is calm, my mind registered the fact that Varun and Ritika are here. In London. In my apartment.

My eyes dart towards them. Their eyes are soft and moist. My chin wobbled looking at them. I missed them so so so much.

Riti and Sameer were and are my best friends. No one filled their void ever. They were like my support system and not having them around was a different punishment.

When I met Abhi, the circumstances were so different. He was just there. For me. For babies. For us.

But now, I don't know how to react.

I take slow steps towards them. My heart beats faster.

"Riti" it came out as a whisper.

"The kids are fine. Why are you crying?" She asked. I didn't know when I started crying again.

"I am so sorry" saying I just hugged her. She hugged me back and caressed my back. We both are sobbing.

After sometime we broke the hug and wiped out tears, but then she did something really really unexpected.

The girl who was consoling me a minute back, slapped me.

To be continued...
