Love lies

Chapter 36- Bad omens

Reena returned to her room, feeling groggy and gross. She had just thrown up for the third time today. 

Concerned, Fatima ma walked in, a group of maids fluttering close behind her. She immediately ran to Reena's side, helping her in bed as she put a warm hand to her forehead, checking her temperature. 

Reena, who was too tired to resist, just let the lady do her thing. She then grabbed Reena's wrists, checking her pulse when suddenly she looked up, a shocked yet happy expression on her face. 

Reena stared at Fatimah maa with a confused expression on her face. All Fatimah maa could do was smile at Reena hoping she would get the hint. Until it hit Reena.

Her hand unconsciously travelled to her belly. Reena looked down, she couldn't believe it. She was pregnant. 

A laugh slipped out, light and breathless, as she cradled her stomach, eyes shining with unshed tears.

The thought of Rocky sent a rush of warmth through her. She could already picture his face when she told him—how his eyes would widen, how that slow, bright smile would take over.

She was pregnant with his baby, the thought sent a rush of warmth through her and she couldn't wait a second to tell him. 

She ignored the comments telling her to be careful as she rushed down and into a jeep, driving to the mines where Rocky was. 

Reena arrived to the mines, her hands trembling with excitement by her side. She and Rocky had talked about this very moment countless of times and the fact that it was finally happening sent a rush of nerves through her. 

She finally arrived and practically leaped out the car, running to where Rocky was. She rolled her eyes internally as she could already hear him complaining about something to Chacha.

Rocky abruptly stopped his conversation with Chacha when he faintly heard the sound of Reena's anklets. 

He turned around to see her standing there trying to catch her breath. Rocky frowned to himself. Reena didn't make a usual appearance in the mines and especially not this early. Something was definitely up. 

"Enayitu?" asked Rocky, his face displaying worry. Reena bit her lip, trying to think of a blatant excuse as to why she rushed here so early in the morning.

(What happened?) 

"Nange mayusharila" said Reena. Rocky took of his glasses, exchanging a worrying look at Chacha before rushing over to her, cupping her face tenderly between his hands. His touch was soft and gentle as he checked her temperature. 

(I'm not feeling well) 

"Ilai, yenu illa. Thalai keskobida, doctor manekelsthini" Rocky said, patting her cheek lightly and turned to walk away but she stopped him again, her face suddenly flustered, leaving Rocky confused.

(Nothing is wrong dont worry, ill send a doctor home now go)

"Enu tinbiga ana ansthila" Reena wined as Rocky looked at Reena wondering what exactly was cooking up in her head.

(I don't feel like eating anything)

Rocky let out a short laugh, shaking his head in disbelief. Reena was never this picky. Now he knew something was really wrong. 

"Yaru en bita? Seriya gadige madakilli. Nalayil inthu enu problem illa" he turned to Chacha who just nodded as they turned around and continued to walk.

(Who is that cook? Tell him to cook properly. There should not be any problem tomorrow) 

"Fatimah maa joruge nadibartho andithare" Rocky turned around again. The confusion on his face being more visible than ever.
