I wanna be yours💝

67. A Promise in the Dark

Sumedh's pov:

This morning I got call from doctor.

"Mr. Mudgalkar her body is getting very weak after her abortion please take good care of her. If she be healthy she won't suffer much. But if she becomes weak she won't able to leave peacefully in her last few days"
The words hurted me listening only few days left.

"yeah!Okay doctor"
I said

"And you remember right what I said that day"

"I remember"
I said

"Good, be strong and take care of your wife spend more time with her"
I ended call after thanking her.
I went to the room where Mallika was sitting numb looking at the window.

"Mallika let's go for picnic"
I said in excitement.

"no, Sumedh I'm not in mood. You take Aru with you. After she got to know about our baby she's not talking with anyone and not even coming out of her room"
She said

"yeah Mallika I know she'll also feel happy if we both take her for the picnic and spend some time with her. Not for me atleast for Aarohi please"
I said

"Sumedh, I can't..."
She was about to say something I cuts her.

"We will eat lunch in your favourite restaurant and also we will play in the same beach where you faked of drowning"
I said

"you still remember that??"
She asked feeling amazed

"offcourse yes, I was about to lock my lips with you for CPR and it should have turned out our first kiss but you destroyed everything that day"
I said feeling guilty about that day.

"I know so only I woke up because I wanted our first kiss to be something special not like that"
She said

"smart! But sometimes when I remember our school days I really wonder how I was unknown of your feelings for me. I just want to go back to that time and leave each and every moment with you. We shouldn't have become adult, we shouldn't have brought Abhinav into our life, And I shouldn't have give you divorce and left you alone"
I said feeling my eyes getting wet.

"why are you crying Sumedh. Let's forget our past. Now that Abhinav's chapter is closed. Look now we are living our life happily soon I'll again get pregnant and our Lil one will again enter our life bringing lots and lots of happiness"
She said wiping my tears.

"I just hope it all happens"
This will always be our dream Mallika which can never be fulfilled.

"it'll Sumedh"
She replied holding my hand.
Few weeks passed like this I couldn't able to spend much time with Mallika. Being with her scares me and remembers me that only few days left I started coming late from office. Thinking that Mallika will be slept but there wasn't a single day she slept without waiting for me.
Like everyday I came late at night with dim lighting in our room. Mallika was reading some book waiting for me.

Mallika's pov:
The room was silent, except for the sound of the rain pattering against the window. Sumedh stood by the edge of the bed, his shirt half undone, his gaze soft but intense. I could see the weight he carried in his eyes, the guilt he tried so hard to hide.

"Come here," I whispered, my voice barely audible, but he heard me.

He walked toward me slowly, as if afraid to break me with his presence. When he sat beside me, I reached for his hand, lacing my fingers with his.

"Sumedh, why do you always look like you're carrying the weight of the world?" I asked softly, my thumb brushing against his knuckles.
He looked away for a moment, his jaw tightening.
