The Reunion ~Jab they met again

Chapter 2

"Alya! Dinner's ready" Dhruv said coming back to the room to see her sitting in the balcony with her back resting on the wall, looking at the stars.

This has been her routine, since she found out that the baby she had been carrying all those eight beautiful months of her life was dead.

Having a little one growning inside you is beautiful feeling, knowing and feeling that there was a life growing inside her made me feel complete.

At the time when she was preparing herself to hold the baby in her arms in just another month she got to know that her baby lost it's heartbeat. That was the most painful moment for her. Ever since her childhood she has been kept like a doll, first by her parents, then her friends and now Dhruv. She was favourite of all of them. All of them could do anything and everything to protect her but no one can protect her from the wrath of the god from what he has planned for her, maybe he was punishing her for the sins that she performed years back, for all those boys whom she made fun of just for loving her or ragging innocent people with her best friend.

It's not just the physical pain or the emotional pain of loosing her child, a women goes through a roller coaster of emotions. She starts questioning her relationship with her husband.

That is what was happening with Alya, she started asking herself

'was She a failure to him?'

'will she ever be able to conceive? Will she be able to give him a family that he wanted?'

'what if he leaves her?' That is what used to haunt her.

She felt like a failure even after accomplishing so much in life, after all she had the best fashion studio in Mumbai.

She now and then asked 'where was I wrong? What was my mistake?'

And then seeing her employees getting pregnant made her feel even worst.

Her emotions of guilt and self blame were taking a troll on their relationship.

They barely talked, although Dhruv used to try always to make her smile, to make her what she was before this fiasco. But nothing worked. She used to smile in front of all even him and cry when alone. She thought he never noticed but he did. He noticed every freaking thing and that broke his heart more.

People don't see the tears a dad cries,
His heart is broken too when his child dies
He tries to hold it together and be strong
Even though his world's gone wrong

"Alya!" he said tapping her shoulder.

She faked a smile looking at him and got up from where she was sitting, and moved out of the room followed by Dhruv.

They settled down on the table to have their dinner. No one uttered a word.

When she was about to get up after completing her dinner, he held her hand making her to look at him.

"Wait I have something for you" he said smiling.

"Dhruv! You know na I'm busy, I don't have time for anymore surprises of yours" she said politely.

"I won't take much time of yours" He said as he handled her and envelope. "just open this"

She took it from his hand with a confused expression.

After opening it she got to know that it was an invitation from their school for a reunion.
