The Quill Part 2- - Page 112

Wish there was someone by her side.

For now seems, she doesn’t have anyone.

Nisha, will she ever be unconditionally loved by Pradyut?

Will the guy ever understand her position?

Now she is all the more vulnerable.

And Nidhi should be last one to know her daughter is pregnant. She is unfair to Taaruni.
Shr could have put her food down when she was marrying. She didn’t.
Feel really really sorry for Taaruni.

Oh geez - she is getting hit from all sides. 😭

Protect & Preserve

Two humans driven to protect what was theirs were now connected in a permanent way! One knew about it the other did not.

She went for her ultrasound during the day, she was working her Delhi job, running the store and trying to keep her sanity while being pregnant

Everything was “just perfect” according to Dr Meher

She asked no unnecessary questions, just assumed she was a single parent by choice

Taaruni was deathly afraid to horse around with Aseem and Sahil after their school performance, no jumping from bed to bed, no jumping from the top level bunk bed down on to the pillows

They urged her to play the falling off the cliff game

“I am too tired today” she hugged her belly as she pulled a pillow closer. The baby was the size of a bean, but she was terrified of hurting it

There was no nausea but she could not eat. Pallavi Bhabhi was beginning to get curious

“Kal raat ko tum Ma se ladke aayi, AAJ kya hua hai tumhe?”

“Kuch nahi”

“Tushar dekho”

“Ab main har baat ka kya karoo? Ye Ma aur Gaurav are like 3 poles”

“There is only two FYI”

“U and Gaurav are one team then?” he mocked

“So funny”

“Tushar stop it” Pallavi scoleded him

“Tushar stop it” the boys giggled mimicking

“She must not be hungry yaar chhod” Tushar nodded

“Kal ja rahi ho waapis?”

“I have to by tonight”

“He is saying he wants to drive the Enfield over by Sunday” Tushar sipped his wine

“Keys mere paas hai”

“Uska baap construction mein hai , ulloo samajhti ho usko?”

“His arm is in a cast”

“haa who baat sahih ai”

“Maybe Aman or someone will drive it” “Duplicate keys” Taaruni was irritated

“Why are u policing him” Tushar supported her

“I am not I made a promise to his Mum”

Zyaada palle mat pad, you don’t know these people”

“Pradyut tumhara best friend hai? Nahi? Why u suddenly hate them?”

“Think about it, if The Quill was not being demolished Gaurav ke saath ye sab kuch hota nahi”

“Tushar he went crazy when your Dad died”

“No he did not, he went back after the funeral”

“Pradyut did not urge him to quit his job” Pallavi was firm

“Aisi ki taisi kar rakhi hai, Harkeerat Uncle chala rahe hai… (sighing and upset) dukaan ka band baja hua hai”

“AB aa raha hai aapko gussa?” Taaruni questioned

“Tu alag atki hai us bandE ke saath” he growled

Taaruni blushed aggressively

“Hmm”

“EK phone kar deti us raat ko, I would have slapped some sense into u”

“Kya hua hai tumhe Tushar?” Pallavi was shocked

“Think about it Pallo… Ma udhar hai, Gaurav ne job chhod rakhi hai, usko share chahiye, ye sirf 3 din ke liye aati hai, such a mess”

“Mumma ko khaana bhej diya maine”

“Jaanta hu yaar” Tushar looked forlorn

“I caused it”

“Abhi shuru mat ho , ja jaake so, kha to rahi nahi tu”

“I am not hungry”

“Do u want to go to the doctor”

“NO… NO NO… NO” she screeched

Tushar was shocked

“Theek hai, hua kya tujhe?”

“Nothing”

At night she sent a message to Dr Meher

She got a call next morning

“I am going back to Delhi”

“Sure, have a safe flight, always wear ur seat belt”

She smiled

“Its safer when pregnant

“Umm.. when I go back is it OK to be intimate?”

The web said it was OK

There was no way to keep Pradyut at arm’s length

Their fights and non fights ended in s---

“Absolutely”

“Oh”

“Yes truly”

“Thanks”

There had been no call or text, since she had told him “I don’t need to be watched hawkishly”

It had begun irritating her as soon as she landed

She did want to hear from him

But he was stubborn and had kept his word

When she got home, it was almost 8 PM

She showered and changed, called her MIL to go pick up Harold

She wore loose clothes a pair of floral pajama like pants and a skinny black tee

8 weeks… her face was glowing!

Junoon leading to a new junoon - her baby, her Pradyut, her family 🥰🥰. Hopefully that happens soon ☺️

I want to see if the guy can be nice.

Pradyut needs to know kind of comments Taaruni gets from her own family.

I do not get Nidhi right now. She was hopelessly lost when the family was going through the tough time. She did not take any stand then. Now Tara is the bad guy.

If Gaurav keeps selling rare book at throwaway prices, he will run the store to the ground. There will not be a store left. Why can't Nidhi see that?

Nidhi was always pushing Tara to treat her marriage as a real one. Now she brings up Shiv. Gaurav has totally brainwashed her.

What surety Nidhi has that Gaurav will put the money to good use? He could have gotten a job by now if he really looked. He has never done anything for the bookstore except steal from it.
