A Typical Indian Girl

Happiness doesn't last forever

Pov: Advika

The pregnancy cravings and mood swing are at the peak. Karan tolerance is high, which makes me comfortable.

"Karan, can we go for a walk. I feel bored. Can you buy me an ice cream??. Please.." I said him by making puppy eyes and glad that he fell for that every time.

"Fine. But I will buy you only one." He said.

"Ok! Wait for me. I will change my outfit." I replied.

I wore his hoodie and my comfortable pants. I rushed to hold Karan hand.

We started walking for 10 minutes to reach the cafe shop near our house.

He called the waiter and placed the order. He started to continue his work on the laptop, and I hate it. He started to work at home because he could take care of me.

We left the cafe and started walking. I hugged to thank him for the ice cream and pecked his lip.

A thud sound and intense pain on my abdomen startled me. Again, a thud and now the pain increased, but now the pain is from my shoulder. I don't know what's happening, and I can hear a worried and scared voice of Karan. I feel drowsy, and my eyelids felt heavy. I fell asleep.

" Secret, wake up, don't close your eyes." I can hear my Karan voice, but I can't able to reply because I'm too tired to respond.

Pov: Karan

I can't believe my eyes that my love of my life is surrounded by the pool of her own blood. Someone shot her on the abdomen and on her shoulder. Before I could react, she fainted. I tried to wake her, but all goes by vein.

I carried her and tried to hail a taxi. To my surprise, Rafael ran towards us holding a pistol. How does he know that we are in trouble, and why does he hold the gun?? I have plenty of questions, but it is not the right time to ask.

We went to the nearby hospital, and the doctors were operating on her to remove the bullets. A young doctor came out of the operation room. He called me to inform me with a serious look.

"I know it's hard for you, but we need to abort your baby. She is weak, and the baby can't able to survive in this condition.  So, you need to sign the form to complete the procedure. We need to save her the time is precious Karan. " He said.

I'm frozen to reply. She is in danger, and our baby is no more. I can't help them, though I'm powerful.

I signed the papers to save my love. But how am I going to tell her that our baby is no more.

After several hours, doctors stepped outside the room and said she was safe and she would wake up soon . You can see her after we shift her to the ward.

I waited for an hour to meet her. The nurse informed me that I could meet her.

I entered the ward and sat beside her. I saw her pale face sleeping peacefully. I kissed her temple and covered her with the duvet.

I holded her hand and fell asleep.

I opened my eyes to find Karan laying his head on my bed. Wait a minute, where am I?? I came to recall my memories, and I  realised that I'm in the hospital. My throat felt dry.

"Karan. Karan.." I shaked his head to wake up.

He stirred and opened his eyes. His eyes were wide open to see me, and I woke up.

"Karan, what happened to me?? Why do I feel pain in my shoulder and abdomen??" I questioned him.

" You were shot. Someone tried to shoot you, and Rafael helped us to reach the hospital on time." Karan replied.

"Why someone try to kill me. EAGLE GROUP  is dead, and the person who tries to rape me is dead. Then who is trying to kill me?" I am scared.

"Secret,  I need to tell you something important. " He is scared and nervous, and I can see the tears on his eyes.

"What happened, Karan?? Are you crying??"

"I'm sorry ,Secret. I don't have any options. I need to save you. I signed the documents to abort our baby to save you. The doctor told me that the baby couldn't survive based on your body condition.  They suggested aborting the baby." Karan told while wiping his tears.

I'm scared to reply. I'm the reason for my baby's death. I'm a murderer.

"I'm the murderer. I killed my baby. Why did you save me. I killed our baby Karan. " I yelled at him.

The doctor entered the room to check my condition. He said that he needed to run some tests after that I could leave the hospital.

2 weeks later, I'm free to go. We reached our home. I called my mom and explained everything to her. She coaxed me to cheer up my mood. After talking to my mom, I feel less burden.

Karan carried me to our bedroom and placed me on our bed. He covered me with a duvet and went to fetch some food so that I could take my medication.

I soon fell asleep after taking medication.
