...as two lines appear...

Durga's POV:
The week at office was hectic. More projects were to be done and discussed. Then our boss! She normally jumps up and down and right now due to the tedious schedule we are nicely squeezed. Sometimes scrutinized whenever she gets irritated. Even spending time with family was coming down. It was stressing but once my leave my career out of my hand then getting along again isn't easy. I was giving my best and working for the best days to come.

This morning, I wasn't feeling good. I didn't want to move off my bed but I know I can't. Making up my mind, I got ready and had breakfast. Shylok dropped me at office. He was involved into some thoughts so the travel went dull and filled with silence. I wanted to start a conversation but at the same time not interested.

Reaching the office, I found out the lift wasn't working. Huff! I groaned and take up stairs. It was so tiring for me to reach 3rd floor. I felt little dizzy but continued to walk up. Sitting in my cabin, I drank some water and took slow breaths. Even then it felt dull, grabbing a coffee might work. I walked to the canteen. Thank god it was open. Sometimes in early hours they won't open. I ordered a coffee and looked around. I looked at the calendar hung near... i realized it gonna be month end... hmm... what? Month end? i looked at the dates again. I didn't get my periods for this month. It was supposed to occur in the starting of the month... relating with the feeling I am having... am i... oh..no... seriously.... i gulped. No...but... i... i blinked and looked at my stomach. Am I pregnant?

That's it. I need to check whatever it takes. I straightly barged to boss cabin and excused for a small work. Thank god she accepted! Taking my bag, I went to the nearby pharmacy. I felt really nervous and scared. What will happen? Is it true? I don't know what to do. This mixed feelings are making me more stressed.

After buying the pregnancy test kit, I immediately put it in the bag before paying the shopkeeper. I rushed to my office trying to contain my curiosity. I entered the restroom and closed the door. Ok Durga. Whatever it maybe, don't panic. All is well. I tried to calm myself and took the test.

Looking at the kit, I was bitting my nails. Haan or nah? Nah or haan? Soon please, soonnn.. my head was breaking... A single line appeared... my mind became still, I could feel only my heart beat. My eyes was glued to it. Little my hopes started to drown, the second line appeared. My heart beat went jumping in excitement cum nervousness. Omg! I closed my mouth and started to laugh. Happy tears flowed down slowly. I am pregnant! I. am. pregnant.. i am going to a mother. I seriously couldn't believe. It was so overwhelming. I am going to be a mumma. Have a baby. My baby. I caressed my stomach gently. Baby.. aww.. mine... i couldn't contain my laughter filled with happiness.

I felt blessed. God! Thank you so much... Thank you... suddenly my mind flashed Shylok's expressions. How he would react? I should immediately see him. I went out of the restroom. I could feel my face was glowing in happiness. Everything around seemed to be so beautiful. Each step I took was so conscious. Informing my boss about my leave, I left the office through an auto. My hands were around my stomach. Baby, we are gonna meet your appa! Appa will be on cloud nine. You see. Mumma, appa love you so much.. i was dying to meet Shylok. Once the auto stopped at his office. I took the lift. He shouldn't be in any meeting i was praying. I walked to his cabin. Little i was rushing but tried to be careful.

I entered the cabin. Seeing him, I got anxious. How to reveal this?
He looked at me and started to look at the files. He showed no expression. What happened to him??
