Anidhi's Point Of View

I was probably exiting the washroom for the 100th time or maybe it was my second time but it felt like the hundredth. Where is that pregnancy glow people talk about? I only find myself with morning sickness, stretch marks and cramps. The worst is throwing up anything edible I put into my mouth. 

No, worst is my husband not being here. I miss him so much, it is killing me. I did call his mother to ask her where he is. I'm telling you she was nothing more than delighted when she found out about our fight. She never liked me. It was the worst day ever, when I had to call her. 

The typical mother-in-law  and daughter-in-law relationship? My life is a cliche.

I really can't control my wild mood swings either! I find myself happy, sad, irritated at odd times with no reason whatsoever. 

Which is why, no one should mess with a pregnant woman. First of all, all these people were irritating me so much, all their eyes went to the now-very-prominent baby bump which makes me want to squeeze their eyeballs out and feed those to hounds for dinner. Violent much? Told you not to mess with a pregnant woman. 

The person who should really scared right now is Arvind! For lying to me! I got really excited that maybe now I will know Divyam's whereabouts!

As I come out, I find a very worried looking Arvind discussing something with a guy, I recognized as Shivam's friend. Also Sanya was there pulling both their cheeks. This girl gets on my nerves sometimes!

"You moron!" I screamed at Arvind. If enough people were not looking at me before, now I had probably everyone's attention. Except Nehal maybe. She was dancing on a DJ with a man with a fuming Shivam watching. "WHY DID YOU LIE TO ME?"

Arvind began speaking but I cut him off, shouting at a bunch of tables around us from where few people were staring. "What are you looking? YES I AM PREGNANT AND I AM AT A CLUB. DO I NEED TO ASK YOUR PARENT'S PERMISSION FOR THAT? OR MINE? OR YOUR PERMISSION? I AM NOT DRINKING YOU BUNCH OF IDIOTS!" 

"Anidhi, I don't think thats why..." Arvind began and I cut him off. "I hate you! You lied to me!"I shouted at Arvind. I know I was overreacting. But blame the hormones not me. 

"Pregnant lady is so angry! You bad man! You cheat and you lie!" Sanya said in a sing song voice to Arvind. Two women got up from a booth and threw their drinks  on Arvind's face.

"You cheated on a pregnant woman?" One of the girls shouted. "Men I tell you! You have all the fun you want but you leave once responsibility  strikes!" Another girl said looking at my baby bump. 

"Her? No, I did not cheat on her!" Arvind cried and finally the situation dawned on me. With my shouting and screaming at him for lying to me about talking to Divyam, and Sanya mentioning that he cheats because he cheated on her, THEY THINK HE CHEATED ON ME.  "Tell them Anidhi!" He told me. By now many women had surrounded. Wow, girl power much?

"No, he did not cheat on me. He cheated on her." I said, all of a sudden calmly. "He just lied to me." I added. Now the woman looked amused. 

"Yeah, bad man! Cheater man!" Sanya sang. Again.

"You cheat on her with a pregnant woman?" One said to Arvind.

"Oh my god, what kind of a woman you are?" One asked me. 

"She said he lied to her! She probably did not know about this one over here." A chubby woman said pointing at Sanya. 

All the women were glaring at Arvind, who visibly looked scared. Someone made his way in between these women and stopped on seeing me, breathing a sigh of relief. Divyam was here.
