I don't think my eyes are deceiving me - I have just read another FF by you haven't I Opti? That's great and this update was wonderful too full of suspense and as usual written beautifully with extensive details so that one has no problem picturing the whole scene and expressions of the characters. I can't wait to find out what the deal with Prachi is and how her time with Milind passes. At least Baba is happy!

Part 2

His father would not have taken more than a couple of steps when all of a sudden the woman swooned and crumbled to the floor. Both his father and he rushed to her side in alarm. He took her on his lap and tapped her cheeks but she did not regain consciousness.

"Ramu kaka, please get some water," he shouted out.

Ramu kaka rushed in with a glass of water and handed it to him. Taking it, he sprinkled some water on her face. She slowly fluttered her eyelids open and looked around. As he made her sip the water slowly, his father asked him to take her to his room. Absent mindedly he nodded his head and carried her to his room and laid her on his bed. She sprung up almost immediately, rushed to the bathroom and threw up yet again in the basin. By now his father was very concerned and asked him to call the doctor. He whipped out his cell and called their family doctor. Within twenty minutes the doctor was examining the young woman he brought home.

"How is my bahu, doctor?" asked his father, concern written all over his face.

"Congratulations, Mr.Mishra. You are going to become a grandfather."

His father had been pestering him to get married ever since he went abroad to complete a course on advanced business administration after working in their family business concern for five years. However, he himself did not have much faith in the institution of marriage. In his twenty eight years of existence he had seen far too many unhappy or broken marriages among his friends and was unwilling to give up his cherished bachelorhood for it. So when his father gave him an ultimatum, saying that he was arranging his wedding as soon as he gets back to India, he lied that he was already married to one of his juniors in college. He told him that she will not be able to join him for another couple of years as she had to complete her studies. Although his father was annoyed with him at first, he accepted his lie, asking him to bring home his bahu as soon as she completes her studies.

"Prachi beta, don't worry about anything. I know your parents are no more but we are there to take care of you. Aren't we, Milind?" he turned to face his son.

"Who are you?" he asked her bluntly.

She kept quiet and bent her head down. He took hold of her shoulders and shook her.

She continued to maintain her deafening silence, frustrating him further.

"Will you not answer me?" he yelled and lifted her chin roughly so that her eyes met his. He saw her tormented eyes brimming with tears. He knew then that his guesses were quite close to the mark. The woman was in more serious problems than he initially assumed her to be in. If he were to reveal the truth to his father, she will have to leave the house and in all probability she may end up trying to kill herself again and this time may even be successful in it. Maybe he can send her off to some social welfare organisation for destitute women but then what will become of the child? Would she be forced to abort it? Even if she brings it into this world, what will be the baby's status other than that of an illegitimate child? Although he barely knew the woman, somehow he was uncomfortable with both the possibilities. He did not want the baby to lose its life or be brought up as a b*****. He thought for a moment and in his typical style came up with another spur of the moment decision.

"Prachi," she whispered, looking intently at the pattern on the bedspread.

"No, not what my dad called you. What is YOUR name?"

She gave him a baffled look. "My name is Prachi. Prachi Shah."

He threw up his hands "I don't believe this. Talk of coincidences." She did not understand what he was saying. Actually when he lied about having married his junior in college, his father had wanted to know the name of the girl. Just then someone was calling out to a Prachi in the campus and he blurted it out into the phone, not realising then that the woman he will one day bring home will possess that very name. Not elaborating further he then told her that she will stay with him as his wife till the birth of her child. That way the baby can take his name as the father. Soon after that he will pick up a huge quarrel with her and she can leave the house in that pretext. He will ensure that the baby's future is secure by setting aside enough funds for his/her upbringing and education.

Just then she heard the door open. He came out of the bathroom, a large towel wrapped around his waist, rubbing his hair vigorously with another towel.

"So, what have you decided?" he asked her nonchalantly.

Averting her gaze from his well muscled bare chest, she nodded her head and said that she will stay.
