Arshi SS- The Moment Of Truth.

Part 18

"Aap sun bhi rahe hai hume??"

He did hear but did not show, nuzzling on her right cheek he just pulled her to him. His hand moved and touched her waist making patterns there and she could do one thing and that lean more to him to enjoy whatever he was doing to make her sense go wild. But a strong grip was needed to keep this sensation in a track as she knew very it was one of his many tricks to make her agree to him.

Holding him by his forearm she pushed him gently to create some gap between them to look into his eyes and convinced him.

"You have not gone to office for 30 days now Arnavji.. I am doing more than fine, and if I need anything then I know you are just a call away. That's it. Amaji is calling you again and again and you know very well he would not do this if the urgency were not there requiring your presence.. It will take just a couple of hours and we will be fine till then."

Sighing deep he moved away from her and sat on bed facing her.

"I know where my presence is required, more than you."

"And that is why you are here??'

"I'll work from home Khushi, main sambhal lunga.. But this gut feeling is not leaving me.."

"Yeah right.. You have been having this gut feeling for a month now.. Abhi aap drama band kijiye aur jayiye.", pressing her both lips she tried to push him from bed. At the last stage of pregnancy she was unable to move more, even any small argument with him was making her feel worn out and added to this his fear to let her be alone to face anything complex was making her more tired. He has not gone out since it became hard for to walk and sit any longer without any assistance.

"Khushi.. Listen. Just let me be here with you, I don't feel like leaving you today. I promise I'll work and will not nag you to do anything and I'll be at office next morning without you asking me.. But please let me be home today.."

"I know.. You will repeat same words again tomorrow like you have been doing for a month now. You are making yourself tense and anxious than me and that is not helping me Arnavji.. Please go out, meet people. You will feel good. I'll be fine, Di, Jiji are here."

"Khushi.."

"Abhi aap jao.. Go."

Glaring him she threw a pillow.

How will he make this stubborn piece understand what he is feeling?? No work, no meeting with people, no outing can make him relax until and unless he finds her safe and fine before his eyes. These days it was becoming harder and harder only. Last week they were watching a movie together and there was a scene where a woman was giving water birth to her child. And that scene had impacted him so damn much that he could feel himself shivering against her, it became difficult for him to stabilize his breathing until she switched off the TV and rubbed his arm. The irony of situation was that instead of him, she was trying to make him feel ok. He was trying, but even the mere flashback of that scene was enough to create goosebumps on his body..

How will she bear so much pain??

Having no option to cancel this meet, Arnav found himself in his conference hall among his people. The meeting went on and took longer hours than expectation. He was giving glare over glare when his patience level was decreasing and Aman was gulping down preparing himself from the burst. Right then the door was knocked and Aman indicated the person to enter. He came to him and spoke something. Aman could feel almost sweating when his eyes travelled to Arnav. Arnav asked what was the matter through eyes, aman got up from seat and handed the phone to him..
