Kusum's POV:
We opened the door and there was Shruti and Akshay.
"You told him?" Shruti asked me coming inside and Akshay looked at her surprised. I nodded and asked "Where's others?"
"Uuh Neev went to unlock Harry and Sumi and Karan will join us soon." She answered.
"You're looking so fragile." Akshay said with worried expression. A knock came on the door and it was Neev this time.
"I unlocked his door but he wasn't there and the ventilation window of bathroom was broken." Neev said huffing.
"Good now he'll tell her mother that someone has locked her and she'll get another reason to keep her captive." shruti shouted at him.
"Let him do whatever he wants no one can touch her now." Sid said holding my hand and I leaned on him for support. "Call them. We need to talk."
Akshay called Karan and soon we heard another knock on the door. Shruti opened it and Mausam and Karanveer entered.
"Kusum." Karanveer said and hugged me. "Were you not eating at all huh?"
"Actually no."
"Guys. We have something serious in hands." Shruti said and Karanveer, Neev and Akshay looked at her.
"You keep saying that, now just tell us what's the matter?" Neev asked her.
"Kusum. Are you ok?" She asked me and I knew that she isn't asking about my physical health but mental state. I took a deep breath when I felt Sid behind me, I nodded.
"They didn't know. We just found out that.... Kusum... She's pregnant." Mausam said and all of guys turned to me at once.
"What?"
"Are you kidding?" All of their replies came together.
"No. She's right. We're going to be parents." Sid said and I looked at him dumbfounded. This thought didn't cross my mind that we will be parents.
"Sid. Are you saying that... I mean how will you do it? You are unmarried! Her mother, will she accept this?" Neev asked.
"After 5 days I'll be 22 and all of my parent's legacy will be mine legally after that I'll move out of the orphanage to the staffs quarter that my company is providing me. All of this will take a week and then I'll ask her parents for her hand."
"If you have a legacy then why didn't you tell her that earlier?" Akshay asked.
"Cause I couldn't use it untill I become 22 and it's not as big as yours but "
"So your mother won't have any problem now that he has a decent job as well as his parent's property." Mausam asked me.
"I hope so. I can't say anything about her. She's very arrog.. " A knock came on the door.
"It can be Harry!" I was afraid of him because he'll do anything to please my mother and get more money.
Akshay opened the door and indeed it was Harry.
"What?" Akshay asked him but he pushed him aside and tried to enter but Mausam came in his way.
"Excuse me. Don't you have manners? How can you humiliate my guest at my house like this huh. "
"You..." He raised an accusing finger on Mausam. "What do you think huh! You guys are still children. You thought you will lock me there and I'll stay there. I'll tell Mam and you'll see what happens next."
"Harry. I know that you are obeying my mother's orders only but still you have no right to talk with my friends like that. Nobody locked you." At this Neev looked at me. If we will agree with him then he'll tell my mother but I can't let that happen. "That door has automatic lock system it opens with hand print of the same person who has entered. You surely have tried to unlock that door by door knob? Yes. " I said whatever rubbish I could make at the moment.
"Yes. But he didn't tell me about that?"
"Umm I didn't know about that. " Neev said scratching his head and looking at me and Mausam. He certainly didn't get my 'fake automatic door idea'.
"I got trapped inside once so I couldn't forget that." I saw Mausam's flabbergasted face and Akshay, Karanveer and Sid were laughing silently. They've known me for years. "But you instead of asking for help you broke that window. Neev went to call you for party when he found out the broken window! And.... "
"What? You broke the window. Oh no. Now mother will kill me. No. She'll kill you. I'll not save you from that gun with which she killed the poor cat because the cat jumped from the kitchen window and broke her Chinaware plate. Oh God... Kusum call your mother and tell her what your stupid bodyguard did to my window." I understood her signal that she's trying to negotiate.
"Mausam I'm sorry on his behalf. Please don't tell aunty I know how much she loves each and everything in this house, but please leave poor Harry out of it. My mom will be so dissapointed if she Knows." I said with a pleading and sad expression.
"Poor! He's not poor. I'm sure your mother pays him well." Mausam said angrily.
"No she doesn't. I didn't know that it was an automatic door. I'm sorry for my behavior. Just don't tell mam. I'm only doing my job."
Please Mausam let it go. I'll take the blame. Aunty loves me too much to punish me." I said with a genuine kind smile.
"Hmm ok if you say so." She siad to me then turned to Harry. "And you stay away from me."
"Sure. I'm here to take of her not you. Come." He signaled me to go with him.
"Uhh I'll join you in a while wait out of the door."
He nodded and left saying "Technologies these days!"
"This fool is your bodyguard!" Shruti said laughing lightly.
