Part 5:
I stopped when we reached Arjun's car. Just looking at him, I knew I had an impatient look on my face.
'I guess the explanation should start now.' I said sarcastically.
'I guess no.' He said and grinned at me.
'Smart answer, but tell me.' I complained as he opened the door for me.
'They are Natasha's parents, Mr. Mohan Mittal and Mrs. Padma Mittal.' He said without even looking at me. Instantly, my hand found his and I held it tightly. He smiled and I left his hand.
'Can I ask you something?' I looked at him while he turned the car towards the city.
'You have already, but I don't mind another.' He grinned, again.
'Have you ever sat in the New York metros?' I asked him, just curious about it as it looked that he travelled in his car, mostly.
'Last year.' I looked at him, shocked.
'Ok, Leave the car near the first station and we'll go to the doctor in a metro.' I said, I really liked travelling in that.
'You're sure?' He asked as his eyes travelled on my stomach and then back at my face.
'Completely Positive.' I smiled when he studied me, he really cared about me and the baby. I was surprised the way he took the news of it, but, anyways, this was destiny.
We neared the station and he parked near so we didn't have to walk much. Arjun bought tickets and we boarded the train. I took a window seat and Arjun sat beside me. Our stop was 15 minutes far so I tilted my head towards Arjun's shoulder and closed my eyes. I felt his hand on my other shoulder which meaned that he had wrapped his arm around me. I was content like that. Maybe, in the end, I could really spend my life with him. He was caring and the ideal life partner anyone could wish.

She tilted her head on my shoulder and in trying to make it comfortable for her, I placed my hand on her other shoulder. Suddenly, I wished that I could remain like that forever.
After a while, I gently shook Arohi as our stop was arriving. She got up and we made our way to the doctor's.
We were taken immediately, as the Punj's were famous in New York.
'Hello, I'm Dr. Masen. And you are Arjun and Arohi.' her accent was english so our names were produced in the same accent. I nodded and she continued. 'Arohi, We'll do a little blood test to come to know exactly how many days you're pregnant and I'll recommend you a healthy diet. Ok?' Arohi nodded and followed her behind a curtain, in a few minutes she was outside and the Doctor again spoke. 'Well, you'll have to wait a few minutes and then we'll have a complete check-up.' With that, we walked out her office as she could atttend another patient for the time being.
Hardly 15 minutes later she called us back.
'Well, Arohi you're more than 3 weeks pregnant which is almost a month.' Oh My God! I couldn't believe this. Arohi was a whole month pregnant and I didn't knew. When did she exactly do the test? I turned to look at her, but instantly, the anger in me finished. Her shocked face was enough to tell me that she too didn't knew the fact that she was almost a month pregnant.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Holy Sh*t! When, Where? The questions were swarming in my head. How come I never knew about this. It was shocking. The doctor seemed to notice it and her words confirmed the fact.
'Didn't you know?' I shook my head in a no and, out of nowhere, tears formed in my eyes. Sh*t, why was I so sensitive? The doctor got and told me to come with her. I did as I just couldn't face Arjun, What would he think now? The doctor took me behind the curtain and with a soft voice, adressed me in a very motherly way.
'Arohi, are you ok?'
'No.'
'It happens, sometimes people don't come to know about their pregnancy until the 3rd month. It's normal.'
'It's not that.' How was I supossed to tell her that from the past month I didn't come to know that I was carrying a child which came from a pure one-night-stand.
'Then what is it?' She asked me in such a way that I broke down. The turn of events had suddenly made me bad infront of myself.
'We... had a... one...one night stand. I... I was.. drunk and... it was my father's... death..death anniversary... that I..' I again broke in new sobs and she hugged me.
'And you want the child?' I nodded. 'Does he?' I kept quiet, I didn't know. I had never asked him.
'I don't know. I never asked him.'
'Then you should. Now, Buck up. Pregnant ladies shouldn't cry that much.' She smiled, but I thought of a different thing now.
'What if he's angry with me? He'll be thinking that I'm a cheap girl that I produced the very next day.' I knew that he was going to throw me out of the house and then tell me to go to he**. Before I could think more of the things that could happen to me, Arjun was infront of me. The doctor had vanished and it was only me and Arjun in that little room.
