Sarah stayed with Natasha for the night. After talking for a long time, Natasha was asleep. Sarah was still awake. She looked at Natasha's phone which was kept on the bed side table. Sarah wondered, why Abir didn't call Natasha even for a single time.

Next morning Natasha went to the hospital. She didn't want to notice but
her eyes looked for someone but she didn't see him around. She cursed herself for doing that and got busy in her work. Finally she saw Abir at almost 2 pm.

Natasha avoided him and quickly entered into her cabin. But Abir followed her and barged into her cabin.

"Natasha, hear me out once. Please look at me."

Natasha kept checking the files and charts. Abir went near and snatched the file from her hands. Natasha got really annoyed,
"What are you doing Abir? Behave yourself, it's a hospital."

Abir grabbed her hand,
"Please Natasha, you have to hear me once. After that whatever you decide, I won't say anything."

"This is not the time and not the place to talk about these things. Now if you please excuse me, I have to do some work."

"Fine, come with me this evening please, I have to tell you everything. I beg you. "

Natasha was defeated in front of his stubbornness.
"Alright. We'll talk in the evening."

In the evening, Abir was waiting for Natasha.When she came, he opened the door of his car. Natasha sat inside the car without looking at Abir for once. After a while they reached at a nearby cafe in which they had drank coffee together for the first time.

They went inside and found a corner table for themselves. Abir asked Natasha,
"Would you like to have some coffee or something?"

"Abir please!! Leave this formalities aside. Can we come to the exact point and save our time?" Natasha sounded quite angry.

Abir sighed,
"I understand your anger..."

Natasha cut his sentence,
"No you don't. You made me feel like a joke. Last night, you behaved like I wasn't even there beside you. You didn't even look at me for once as soon as you heard your ex-girlfriend's name.
Neither you tried to explain nor you called me once last night."

"I know, I owe you an explanation. That's why I bought you here. There was something in my past but now I love you Nat."

Natasha grinned,
"It is so easy to shift your love from one person to another in such a little time. Isn't it? Why doesn't it happen to me also?"

"Because it depends on what the person did to you." Abir wiped a tear drop from the corner of his eye.

"Fine, tell me. I'm all ears."

Abir took a deep breath,
"Almost 3 years ago, I met Rhea. She was such a free spirited girl. She used to do various pranks on me, tease me, made me laugh. Everything was going fine. Theb we began to live together in our cozy little apartment. Our careers were also going pretty smooth. She wanted to her PhD in UK. Moving to UK was not possible for me at that time. She and I both decided that she must go alone. So I proposed to her so that we stay in a committed relationship. Then out of guilt, she confessed to me that she was pregnant and aborted the child for going to UK."

Abir closed his eyes. Natasha wasn't ready for hearing this. She felt like her ears were burning. Abir continued,

"I did fight with her a lot about this. But eventually I forgave her making myself understand that first she needed to complete her degree and then family.
But the irony is, due to some problems, her PhD got delayed. I still didn't say anything.

After a year, she told me that she was getting some offers from Canada and she wanted to go there. I stayed numb. We decided to sell our apartment first before moving to different city and different country. We sold the apartment. At the time of packing up things, her second abortion report came in my hand. She did the same thing again and this time she didn't even tell me. This time I wasn't even sure if it was my baby. Now you tell me Natasha, what choice did I have other than leaving her?"

Natasha's head was literally spinning around. What she thought, what she just heard right now was beyond her understanding. She didn't say anything. She grabbed her purse and got up from there. Abir looked at her but Natasha was emotionless. She walked out of the cafe and vomited near a bush. Then she called a cab and started for home.
