She made no attempt to wipe the tears from her face. For the past couple of days she felt that they rightfully belonged there. Khushi had always been an emotional woman. A woman who could sprint from happiness to anger to irritation to kindness all in a moment's time. But never before had she felt this emotion... self-pity. Khushi considered herself a born survivor. She had braved through many losses to become what she was today. But today she felt her courage crumbling. This sense of loss and failing brought with it a fresh bout of tears and a searing sense of nausea.
She rushed back to the washroom and threw up in the basin. She turned on the tap and looked at her reflection in the mirror. She looked pale and haggard. Her eyes were red and swollen and spelled lost hope.
She shut her eyes tightly but it was of no use. She could still feel the touch of his hands lingering on her nape. She remembered the way they had slid down her shoulders, touched her breasts and held her tightly by the waist. She remembered the feel and the taste of his lips on hers. She remembered every single detail of that night. It had seemed so right. At that point in time she had thought that she had got all that she ever desired in life. She believed that when this sham marriage of six months would be over, she would have the memories of that night in her heart with which she would be able to live all her live.
Khushi snapped open her eyes. She saw the water from the tap filling up the basin. She wished she could drown herself in that water. Her hands automatically clutched the fabric clinging to her stomach.
"I love you dear", she whispered, "but will he love you too?"
Dread filled her heart. She could live with his hatred. She could live with his indifference. She could live with the fact that he barred her place of a wife. She could even live with him treating her like a wh**e... having sex with her one day and then back to his taunts and jeers and indifference on the next day. But she would not be able to live with him regretting the moments they spent together...
She had absolutely no idea how was she going to tell Mr. Arnav Singh Raizada that the woman he dearly loathed was pregnant with his child.
