Misha's POV:

I messed up everything, I should have been careful with that envelope, why did I even let Arya to read. The moment she saw the reports are positive she thought that I'm the one who is pregnant. She congratulated me and before I could stop her, she ran away downstairs. I hide the report under the bed and followed her however it was too late, she already informed everyone.

"Misha bhabhi is pregnant." She announced. oh no!

"What? Do you even know what are you talking about?" Janvi snapped at her obviously because she knew this can't be true. I didn't had any guts to look at Varun, he must be very angry after what he heard. God, please help me.

"Of course, I just read her report. It's 100% positive." She said and went in front of Varun.

"You are going to father. I'm so happy for you." Arya said and hugged him. I somehow managed to look at him and found him burning in anger. The moment our eyes met, I had to look away not because I ashamed but because I was scared.

"Are you?" Dadi asked turning towards me. She had hope in her eyes, which made my heart ache more. How am I even going to tell them the truth? How will they react if they find out what the truth is, What will Varun do?

"Misha." Dadi called again.

"I.." I tried to start but was too scared to speak further. Am I really supposed to say it in front of everyone? I tried to start again however I was not able to do it because Varun walked towards me, took hold of my wrist and dragged me upstairs.

He walked towards my room and closed the door behind us.

"What are you even trying to do?" He asked.

"I never thought you would do something like this. I agree everyone keeps asking you about the baby but that doesn't mean you have to do something like this."

"You and I both you, it's not my child. I don't know what you are trying to do but please stop this, don't fool my family."

"Varun at least listen to me." I tried to say but he stopped me.

"Listen to what Misha? What should I listen? I agree you love me a lot, don't you think I was trying the same? Every single day, I tell myself to move on and start a new life, to live happily, to accept you but you know what after all this, I don't think I can ever do that."

"Varun please." I begged.

"Whose child is it Misha?" He asked directly. how can he even think that I'm pregnant with someone else's child? For a moment I was angry at him to think this about me but then again it was not his fault, We never had a physical relationship so it was definitely not possible for me to be pregnant but at least he should have I asked me, If I was pregnant or not instead of accusing me.

"I never touched you in that way Misha, whose child is it?" He asked as a tear fell down from his eyes. why is he crying? If he is crying already what will happen if I tell him the truth?

"Answer me Misha." He said angrily. I was already shaking and now his voice made me more weak. Tears started running down my cheeks, though I tried to stop them, it kept falling down.

"If not mine, whose child is it Misha." He asked as he came very close to me.

"It was your child Varun." I some how managed to say the half truth.

"It can't be and you.." he was saying something but stopped and looked at me with concerned face. All the anger which I saw a few seconds earlier was gone now.

"What did you say? It was? What do you mean by 'It was'? What happened Misha?" He asked lifting my face so that I can look at him. He thought that I was pregnant with someone else's child but yet he looked so worried when I said that 'it was'.

"Yes, It was your child Varun, It's just that, I'm not pregnant." I said and turned around. I need a lot of courage to say the next sentence and I can't look into his eyes, when I say it. I'm going to hurt him a lot after what I say and I can't see him getting hurt, however, I guess this is the time, he should know the truth.

"I'm not pregnant Varun, Tanvi was."

The day I went to the cake shop, I found nothing there. After I returned home Arya took my phone and was seeing pictures in it. Karthik called me that morning to discuss about our project and so I told him to send me it's pictures, he did sent them when Arya was having my phone and so she came and told me the same. I swiped away his messages and decided to see them later but while swiping the messages, I accidentally swiped a picture and saw the picture of wall outside the hospital where I took Tina, it was then I remembered where I saw that wall before. The background in Tanvi's picture was not outside of that cake shop but it was outside that hospital. Both the background were same but because no one found a cake or any other related thing, I guessed it was outside the hospital and so without wasting a second I went there.

I met Anjali and told her everything. She assured to help however said that it is quite difficult and would take some time. I was ready to wait, all that mattered to me was finding the truth. Anjali informed me that the previous doctor, which worked here, who must have treated Tanvi is retired now and so there's only one thing we can do and that was to find the previous record. She said that she will do it as soon as possible and will inform me. I was very scared at that time mainly because I sensed the possible reason why she came here and what she wanted to tell Varun.

When I returned home, I kept praying to god, I wished what I was thinking was not true because if it was, Varun will be completely broke. Next day, I kept waiting for Anjali's call however I didn't got any, so I texted her and came to know that she haven't found anything yet. I was not able to rest and so I took the address of previous doctor and went to meet her, on the way, I met Karthik and told him about everything. He wished to come with me but I didn't let him. I was glad that the doctor agreed to meet me, also it was better to go alone.

I just hoped that what I was thinking won't turn to be true but when I showed Tanvi's picture to that doctor, she immediately recognised it. The doctor said that she remembers Tanvi, because they talked a lot that day. Tanvi was so happy and said that she wanted to surprise her husband because he loves small babies and will be very happy once he comes to know that he is going to be father. Also the doctor owns a play school, so they talked about admitting Isha to her playschool. She even informed me that Tanvi took her number but never called. I told her about Tanvi's accident, she looked so shocked and sad. if they were able to recover Tanvi's phone, Varun would have am came to know about this.

After I left her home, I was very sad. I didn't knew what to do further. Varun is supposed to know the reality but I didn't had guts to tell him the truth. how was I even supposed to tell him that, he not only lost his wife but also his own child? I locked myself in my room the entire day, everyone kept asking me what happened and to avoid their question, I pretended to be sick.

Dadi would have been so happy to know about Tanvi's pregnancy and Varun, I can't even imagine how happy he must have got. Isha would have got a little brother/sister to play with. How unfortunate, none of them got anything.

When Anjali informed me that she got Tanvi's report, I went and collected them. I didn't dared to open it for few hours, I was very scared and sad but then I did it somehow and it was the exact time, when Arya came and snatched them from me. She didn't read the name on it and thought that those were my reports.

"What did you say?" Varun asked. I slowly turned and looked at him. His eyes were arrow as he was waiting for my answer.

"Arya didn't read the name on the report. It is not me but Tanvi, who was pregnant." I answered and showed the report to him.
