I hugged Alia close as she was scared of turbulence. Our plane was landing and I rubbed Alia's back. She dug her head deep in my chest and took deep breaths. She always takes deep breaths when she felt sick or vomitish. Finally, we landed at Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport. We got off the plane and collected our luggage from baggage belt number thirteen. We walked outside and posed for a few pictures and answered some questions asked by the media. We cleared all their doubts and headed to the car. I sat in the passenger seat beside my chauffeur and Alia sat in the back seat just diagonal from me.

After sitting in the car for half and hour and chatting about useless stuff, we reached my mansion. We entered hand in hand. Mom was sitting on the sofa along with my masi. As they saw us, they stood up. Alia and I walked up to them and touched their feet to take aashirwad. "Alia this is my masi and masi this is my girlfriend- I mean fiancé Alia" I introduced them to each other. They did their namaste and turned back to me as if we left something behind. I looked at them blankly as truthfully, I didn't understand what they wanted.

"Where's the baby?" Mom asked excitedly.

"Aunty... she's no more.." Alia said sobbing.

"I'm so sorry beta!" mom said hugging Alia.

"It's okay Aunty" she replied with a genuine smile.

I held Alia's hand and slowly blinked indicating that I was there for her and there was no need to worry. I left her hand and held her by her waist. Then I walked up the stairs, pulling her along. We entered my bedroom and sat on my bed. Alia was still thinking about the fact that her- I mean our baby was no more. I hugged her sideways and rubbed her back. She wasn't crying though.
"It's okay Alu baby, sab theek ho jayega!" I said kissing her cheek. She nodded and put up a fake smile. I can easily make out when her smile is fake and when it is genuine. I know her so well and love her a lot.
It was 5:00 in the evening.
"Accha today we are going to loosen up. We will go to Sid's bachelor party and get drunk. What do you say?" I asked Alia.

"Hmm okay. Anyways I need a break from all this."

"Alia! Get back here!" I screamt over the music. Alia was totally drunk as planned, but she was out of control. I saw her dance with another man who was feeling her back. Alia was giggling and she wrapped her arms around his neck. I clenched my fists and my face was probably red with rage. He pecked her on her cheek and Alia giggled again. I could tell that guy was completely sober like me. I went up to him and tapped his shoulder. He turned and I punched him. He held his nose as it was bleeding and started cursing me.
"Don't ever touch her again!" I screamt and picked Alia up on my shoulder and we went outside.

"Put me down! Put me down! PUT ME DOWN!" She screamed struggling to get out of my grip.

"Alia shut up. We're going back home right now." I said putting he down and lifting her chin up so she could look into my eyes. Instead of replying, she held my collar with her hands and pulled me close. She smashed her lips into mine. I kissed her back and pulled her by her waist. She also pulled me closer by my neck. We wanted each other equally. I was not going to have sex with her as I want her to recover from the previous incident which she is still not over. Finally, we pulled away when we needed breath.
"Can we go home now?"I asked.

"No I want to dance!" Alia pulled me towards the dance floor.

"Alia!"

"Why do you scream at me?... Always!?" She asked pouting.

"Alia we need to go back home!"
I picked her up bridal style and headed back home.
