"It's so peaceful over here," Deepika took Ranbir's arms and wrapped it around her.
He always brought her to that place, since their first date. This place has seen every side of them, their first meeting, the phase when they were getting to know each other, their first kiss, everything. They always come here whenever something is bothering them.
It's like their 'personal getaway from reality together' space.
Deepika glanced at Ranbir and caught him looking at her.
"The stars are above us babe," she joking pushed his head facing the sky, "Look at how beautiful the sky is."
"You know you're much more beautiful than that," Ranbir said while kissing her at her forehead.
He pulled her closer to him and held her hands tightly.
They were star-gazing.
"Have you ever wondered what our future would be like?" Deepika whispered.
"What you mean?" he turned to look at her.
Deepika let go of his hand and sat down beside him.
"We've been together for almost 3 years Ranbir. Up till now no one, not even our families knows about us," she looked at him.
"My family wants me to get married but we both know marriage and you are miles apart. What am I gonna do?" she looked at him, waiting for a reply.
"Baby, we've talked about this right. You know I love you, but marriage? We don't have to get married to prove that we love each other." Ranbir sat down beside her while wrapping his arms around her waist.
"We have been living together for almost 3 years damn it. Why are you still so afraid? Marriage is not going to change anything between us. We love each other," she yelled at Ranbir.
Ranbir got up and started walking hastily. He was frustrated.
"I thought everything was clear between us, why are you behaving like this suddenly? You know I don't believe in marriages, and neither did you. What's with this sudden change?" he sounded pissed.
He walked closer to her and knelt down in front of her, "Okay I'm sorry. I shouldn't have shouted. We'll talk in the morning baby, let's go home now."
He reached her hands to pull her up.
"Ranbir, I'm pregnant!" Deepika said with dejected voice.
Ranbir let go of her hands and looked at Deepika.
There was a long silence between them both. He couldn't believe what he heard.
"Umm what? Deepika you're joking right?!"
She looked at him.
Ranbir got up and turned around. He took a few steps away from her. He knew that, that was her serious face, that she isn't lying. He didn't know what to do or even what to say. He was shocked.
"Ranbir - ,"
"How could you be so careless?" he yelled angrily, interrupting her halfway.
"What?" Deepika sounded surprised.
"Seriously Deepika, how could you be so careless?" Ranbir shouted at her.
"How could I be so careless? You're asking me how could I be so careless?" she got up and walked closer to him angrily.
"Whatever happened that night was because of me? Was I the one who initiated it?" she looked at him while tears began rolling down her cheeks.
He couldn't look at her. He knew it was because of him. He knew it was stupid of him to blame it on her, but he couldn't fanthom it, He turned around and faced his back towards her and kept kicking the ground.
