Chapter 16.

~ Two months later ~

Adithi's POV-

I was at home working on a design when my phone rang. I picked it up without looking at the screen.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Adithi. Done with the design?" Manish sir asked me.

"Oh, hi sir. Yeah, I'm working on it. It'll be done in two days." I told him.

"That's good then. Oh, by the way, I've a fashion show coming up and I want you to assist me. Are you okay with it?"

"Are you serious?" I was mind blown.

"A hundred percent."

"Oh my god. Thank you so much sir. I would love to assist you." I smiled ear to ear.

"I'm glad. Anyway, I've loads of work to complete, so I'll talk to you later. Okay?"

"Yeah sir. Bye."

"Bye."

OH MY GOD! THIS IS AMAAAAZING!

I decided to call Shubman but my stomach decided otherwise. I quickly ran to the washroom and threw up.

Since the past two weeks I've been throwing up. This is the reason why you shouldn't eat bahar ka khana.

Shub always scolds me.

My phone rang again and I went to pick it up after washing my mouth.

It was Riya.

"Hey." She said.

"Hi." I said softly.

"You fine?"

"Yeah. I just puked, so...." I told her.

"Adithi, why don't you try it?" She started.

"Oh god Riya. I don't have to, I'm sure I'm not." I told her.

"Adithi, you've been eating too much of ice cream and too much of pickle. And you've been vomitting since two weeks. You also missed your periods last month." She said.

"But Riya-"

"Please Adithi. Let's just be sure." She said.

"Fine."

"Great. I'll come with pregnancy tests."

"Okay." I said and hung up.

----

I came out of the washroom, totally terrified.

"Adithi?" Riya shook me.

"I'm pregnant." I said, tears streaming down my face.

"Adithi.. shhh.." Riya hugged me, soothing me.

"R-Riya... Shub-..." I cried more.

"Adithi, calm down."

"I want this child, Riya." I spoke through my tears.

"What're you saying Adithi? You're just 19 for god's sake." Riya said.

"So what? I won't abort this child. It's my child Riya. I- I just can't." I cried. Riya hugged me, tightly.

"Are you sure? This is very scary."

"I don't know how scary this is going to be but I don't want an abortion." I told her.

She kissed my forehead.

"Riya, what will Shub say?" I suddenly felt scared.

"He might end things with me." I cried harder at this point. I can't lose Shub.

"Adithi, chill. He won't end things. He would never do that." She calmed me down.

"He will accept this child, yeah?" I asked with hope but she stayed silent.

"Riya! Tell me!" I demanded.

"I don't know Adithi. I can't say anything about it. I mean, he's an upcoming cricketer. I'm sure he'd want to set his career first. I'm not saying that he'll leave you or the child or something like that. I'm just saying that, you should speak to him about this." She said.

I nodded at her but stayed silent.

I was scared. What if Shub leaves me? Or what if he tells me to abort this child?

But what if, he accepts this child?

Oh god, I don't know.

Riya hugged me and calmed me down. Tears were streaming continously down my cheek.

"Call Shub." Riya suggested.

"I'm scared, Riya."

"You don't have to be, Adithi." She assured me.

She handed me my phone. I clicked on Shub's contact but was scared to press the call button.

"Come on, Adithi. You have to." Riya whispered.

With all the courage in me, I pressed the call button. He picked up in the second ring.

"Hi babydoll." He said.

I smiled, hearing his voice.

"H-Hey." My voice cracked.

"Adithi, are you crying?" He asked me.

"N-No." I lied.

"Adithi, what happened?" He asked.

That was it. I can't.

I disconnected the call. I cried harder and louder, minute by minute. Riya stayed beside me, trying to calm me down.

I kept my palm on my stomach and a soft smile made its way through my tears.

"I love you." I said, looking at my stomach.

****

Woah... she's pregnant.

Vooooote. ❤
