RoNakshi OS Series

Miscarriage - Part 2

As the night got darker, Sonakshi's angelic face glistened in the moonlight and Rohit's eyes stuck on it. A smile still adorned her face and all he wanted to do was capture it and lock it in a safe place forever.

As the night started slipping away, and Rohit's tears dried out, he fell asleep, still in the same position, with the light of dawn playing with its colours on his face.

Sonakshi's eyes fluttered open and she looked down, feeling a slight weight on her tummy. Rohit slept on it with tear marks on his cheeks, all dried up. She got up, slightly moving his head on her lap and caressed his face, ruffling his hair. As she noticed his features more, his pale face stood out to her and her heart engulfed up with an unknown feeling as her mind felt confused.

"Rohit uth jao... Hospital jana hai na?" She called out to him, softly.

"Hmm... Aaj nahi jana" he replied in a half asleep tone and wrapped his arms around her tummy.

"Nahi  jana fir bhi its late Rohit utho... Mujhe breakfast bhi karna hai na time pe otherwise baby ko problem hoga" Sonakshi whispered softly as she bent down towards him.

As the words left her mouth, Rohit sat up with a start, his face paler than before and he engulfed her in a tight hug.

"Kya hogaya Rohit?" Sonakshi asked as she placed her hands on his back.

"Kuch nahi... Dekho main brush karke breakfast leke aata hu... Tum yahi ruko" Rohit said, trying to divert her.

"Okay... Jaldi aana its already late" She called to Rohit, who by then had already ran to the washroom.

"Dekha aapke papa humse kitna pyar karte hai..." Sonakshi said as she placed a hand on her tummy and started a one-sided conversation with the non-existent fetus.

As Rohit walked out of the washroom, water droplets shining on his skin due to the sunlight, he noticed Sonakshi and tears trickled down his face. He quickly wiped them off and rushed downstairs to get them their breakfast.

Sonakshi noticed Rohit walking out of the room and quickly walked up to the washroom to get ready. As she walked out, she noticed Rohit still hadn't been back and she sat on the bed picking up her mobile. She hadn't been able to check any of her social media accounts in the past three days and so she opened up her photogram, keeping a hand on her tummy.

"'Kahani Parvati Ki' actress Sonakshi Rastogi has suffered a miscarriage due to an unfortunate accident on the sets of the show" The very first notification on the app held this headline with a link to the article. Sonakshi's eyes widened and she quickly clicked on the link, as if trying to tell herself that it was just fake news.

As Sonakshi read through each and every word of the article, tears trickled down her eyes and she fisted the layer of cloth that lay between her hand and her tummy. Her head felt extremely heavy as her brain tried to process every information. As she reached to the end of the article, a few comments caught her attention and she tried reading them through her tears.

"Good riddance! Kitna show off kar rahi thi yeh itne time se"

"I hope she's doing fine now... She's disappeared from SM"

"Dr. Rohit will surely leave her now... What else can she do for him... She literally killed his child"

"Why would Dr. Rohit Sippy want to be with her now? First, she allegedly cheated on him and now this... Parvati doesn't suit her character"

"Why was she still working so much even in 6th month of pregnancy? All of this is basically her fault"

She went through a few of the comments that were listed there and felt her head getting heavier with every one that she read.
