The Fame Changed You - A Narbhi Story - Complete

~15~

Nakuul drove for a few hours without knowing where to go. He was lost. He felt happy for his choice but at the same time, he could feel his heart breaking a bit as he was now far from his dream. He parked his car in front of the sea and sat on the bonnet.

"Life is hard, success is hard... I know I've taken the right decision but I still regret it because fame has always been my dream but my life is my wife..." Nakuul said looking at the sky. "No matter what I know that I would have been damned if I had chosen fame over Surbhi, Surbhi, my love and my life, the only one who rules my heart." Nakuul said and got down the bonnet. He looked at his watch and saw that it was almost time for lunch. So he sent a message to Surbhi telling her that he was coming to pick her up with her friends so they could have lunch together.

Surbhi was leaving her class with Shrenu when her phone vibrated in her pocket. She picked it up and saw Nakuul's message.

"Nakuul said he wants us to have lunch with him!" Surbhi said and Shrenu furrowed her brows.

"Are you in good terms now?"

"We're trying. We're in for a second chance. He wants to change, he said and I want to give him that chance. I love him so much that I don't want to give up on us before trying, and I'll keep on trying until I can't no more." Surbhi looked at the message and kissed her phone before putting it against her heart. Breathing seemed to have become easier now that he was trying to save their relation as well.

After a few minutes during which Mansi and Neha joined them, Nakuul appeared and parked in front of the University. He called his wife, telling her that he was waiting for them. Five minutes after, the ladies reached the car and to everyone's shock, Nakuul leaned towards Surbhi and pecked her cheek.

"Did you girls have a nice morning? How were your exams?" Nakuul started the car and drove off.

"Where did you find that specimen Surbhi? I mean who talks about exams right after them? Don't you know that people don't talk about exams right after exams? Right now the most important thing is what we're going to eat and not how cruel Mr Thompson was for his exams...as if I wanted to do maths.... I don't even know what was the answer for that damn equation on question three..."

"Good job Mr Mehta, you open the chatterbox, aka Mansi!" Shrenu teased Mansi while Neha and Surbhi laughed.

"Sorry for asking that stupid question, what do you want to eat?" He should have thought twice before asking though, since Neha wanted to eat Mexican food, Mansi wanted sushi and Shrenu and Surbhi wanted to eat at KFC.

"Sorry Neha and Mansi, since there are two people asking for it, KFC it is!" Nakuul said and Neha pouted cutely.

"You're only siding with this two devils because one of them is your wife!" Mansi whined and Shrenu chuckled.

"Of course, he doesn't want to sleep on the couch duh!" Shrenu did the logic sign while Nakuul laughed. He was really having a great time and they were only on their way to the food parlour.

"Shrenu please..." Surbhi reprimanded her friend while she was blushing. Nakuul threw a quick glance at her before smirking.

"Surbhi?! Don't tell me that you're also the fun killer with your friends?!" He chuckled.

"Hey mister who gave you the right to criticize my sense of humour?" She inquired, puffing afterwards.

"You. You gave me that right when you looked into my eyes and said, "I do"." While Surbhi just let a small smile adorn her lips, her friends at the backseat were in complete awe. Despite whatever they heard from the couple's argument, they could say that if the couple were trying to fix things between each other, they were on the right path.

They reached the food parlour and found a table for five. While they were waiting for their food, a few people approached Nakuul.

"Aren't you Nakuul Mehta?" A girl asked and as he nodded, they were completely over the moon.

"Can we take a photo with you?" Another girl asked.

"Sure." Nakuul stood and took a pic with the girls while Surbhi was looking at them with pride. However, her face changed when she heard another question from the girls.

"Are these your sisters?"

"No, three of them are my friends....and the fourth one.... you'll get to know her later on." He answered and the girls nodded before leaving. When he took back his seat, Surbhi was looking at him with tears in her eyes. She suddenly got up and went to the bathroom. Her friends were about to follow her when he stopped them.

"Let me take care, you guys begin eating." Nakuul said and followed Surbhi to the toilets without being noticed. When he  entered, he was directly welcomed by her sobs.

"Surbhi we need to talk." He knocked at the door and she opened it.

"When? When will I be your wife legitimately?"

"Listen..."

"No! You don't understand Nakuul. I don't even care about me anymore... What I care about is that in less than seven months it won't be about you and I anymore. In less than seven months the equation will have an addition..."

"Wait... what do you mean?"

"Nakuul, we're having a baby. I fainted during my exams today and after I told the nurse how I felt she gave me the pregnancy kit. I know that I'm probably two months pregnant already since the last time we had unprotected sex was two months ago. I wanted to tell it to you in a better way and not in the toilets of a fast food restaurant but I guess that it won't happen. So what are you going to do now? Are you going to hide your child as well? Anyways if you think about hiding him, I won't accept it, I'll div-"

Why did she stopped talking in the middle of her sentence?? Any guess...
