Chapter-115

Parul's POV

" Is it bad?" there was an evident shake in his voice. And the moisture welling up in his brown eyes was proof that he was on the verge of tearing up, for me.

He held my hair as I threw up again. His hands gently ran down my back. He was whispering something that I couldn't decipher. All that mattered was him being next to me, holding me close.

" I hate throwing up!" I replied after some time.

He placed a gentle hand on my cheeks and..," How do I stop this?" he looked so concerned that the guilt slapped me straight in the face.

" I will tell you later..." he nodded.

It's been 31 days since I disappeared before Manvi texted him, I feel that he has changed a lot.

There is a drastic change in his behaviour.

He used to smile a lot a month back and days leading up to our wedding.

He hasn't smiled yet. He didn't even smile after seeing me there.

In the past he couldn't keep his hands to himself. I always found him clingy but now Shiva doesn't touch me either. He maintains some distance between us like he is trying to remain as far as possible from me.

What surprised me the most was Shiva's unusually calm behaviour. It feels lethal.

By the time we reached Aryan's native home, Ajeya and Nina were waiting for us. I was relieved after seeing the two lines on the kit.

Shiva was leaning against the door, his eyes were on me but he never approached me. He just stood there like a freaking statue.

I saw happiness flickering in his eyes when Nina congratulated him but that was that.

He didn't say anything, he didn't touch me, my belly, nothing.

He didn't even sleep with me on the same bed. It's like he was avoiding me like I'm some plague. Not like, I'm damn sure he is avoiding me.

I cannot blame him. It was my mistake. I shouldn't have assumed wild things about him.

I have never seen him behaving rudely with Manav. That day was an exception at the park. God, he admitted he was Jealous because Abhi, that kid, kissed me.

I felt flutters as well as slaps all over my body.

I have to clear up the misunderstanding, as soon as possible which is tonight.

As soon as we shut the door to our room, I'll talk to him. I will apologise, I will do anything and everything just so that he stops ignoring me.

I don't want him to ignore me. It feels bad.

How could I...!

I feel like a stupid all over again. I should have called Shiva soon after learning that I was pregnant. But then, Manvi would have remained there.

He would have identified his sister!

I feel annoyed at myself. So many things could have been avoided if I hadn't acted like a brat.

Last night Shiva didn't sleep. He was awake. I couldn't sleep either. I was facing him and so was he. He would look at me and sigh. His indifferent behaviour hurts me. But I cannot expect him to be okay with whatever I did.

If Shiva had left me like I did, I don't know what I would have done.

My man is wearing my goddamn toe rings like a pendant, my chain is adorning his neck proudly.
