"arre stop it Asad! Am full!"Zoya shouted as another piece of food filled up in her mouth by her dear husband
"no way Zo! It is about my little Zoya"Asad said dipping roti in salan
Madhu and Rishab chuckled watching the two.
"Learn something from him Rishu"Madhu whispered to Rishab
Rishab looked at her with horror.
"I think it is always you Madhu, who stops me" Rishab whispered back
Madhu shrugged off her shoulder.
"am missing them Asad!"Zoya said suddenly, wiping off smiles from all of their faces
They all looked down sad on the separation from their friends.
"Don't be sad Zoya, it is nature rule, the one who born, has to die"Dilshad said touching Zoya head with affection
"but Khala, it's Arnav whom we have lost! We can accept this loss too but what about Khushi, Khala? She is just ruining her health by locking up herself in that room. We can't afford to lose her Khala" Madhu said sad at their loss
Dilshad sighed she had nothing to say.
"but we can't do anything too, Madhu" Dilshad said sadly
"I don't know why she just don't understand" Rishab said angry on his little sister for ruining her health for something that she can't achieve
"She was holding his hand Rishab, when Arnav left her hand, she is broken we can't do anything" Asad looked at him
"but why? Why can't we bring her to normal she has whole life to live. It had been two weeks Asad, two weeks! They are enough to detoriate someone health" Rishab asked frustrated they were somehow trying to cope from Arnav loss but they can't stand to lose Khushi even when she is between them
"Rishab is right! We need to do something, to bring her back to normal. She... She had just gone to trauma even in first week she was crying out loud that her Arnav is alive and now...now she is...almost dead with just tears in her eyes" Dilshad said remembering the trauma that Khushi is going through
"Phupi we are with you in everything, everything to bring her back to normal"Zoya said holding Dilshad hand
Dilshad smiled at her
"Don't be sad Zoya, she will be back to herself soon. But you take care of yourself for that small life that is living in your womb"Dilshad said
Zoya smiled touching her womb, Asad and her sign of love living in her womb.
"for now let's just give her today night time. We will start to do something by tomorrow"Asad said
Khushi looked at her and Arnav marriage picture. Tears were flowing from her eyes like they had been from the past one week.
"where are you Arnav? You know your ladly sister Zoya, she is going to be mother! Yes she is going to become mother Arnav."said Khushi smilingly
"I have get tired waiting for you, and making everyone understand that you are alive. You are alive na, that's why am alive! I know my heartbeats are enough to keep you alive and to make your heart beat, I know!"Khushi said looking at Arnav picture, sadly
Khushi felt thirsty, she found jug empty. She stood up to go downstairs but felt dizzy. In this two week, she had gone all weak. With slow steps she walked outside.
She found everyone sitting in dining room. Khushi walked down the stairs with silent dizzy steps.
"Arnav!"Khushi said holding her head as dizzy spell return and she found herself englufed in darkness. But instead of falling down, she found herself in a strong arms.
Asad ran and hold Khushi in his arms before she fall down. He quickly took her in her room while everyone else followed.
"Rishab, call the doctor" Asad ordered laying Khushi on bed
" I had already called her" Rishab replied
After sometime their family doctor came. She did her checkup.
"am surprised to see Khushi in such a state. It's first time that Khushi is in such situation" Doctor expressed shock and confusion while checking Khushi
Everyone looked down sadly.
"you all wait outside and let me do her checkup" doctor said
The five noded and walked outisde.
After sometime, Doctor came out and looked at their worried faces.
"how is she doctor?" Dilshad asked concerned
"where is Arnav?"Doctor asked ignoring Dilshad question
Everyone looked down guilty. They didn't told anyone about Arnav death the reason was simple there will arose many questions of his body, which they don't have, and the reason behind his death, which is too supernatural for anyone to believe.
"Doctor... He is no more!"Rishab informed in low voice
"what! No wonder Khushi is in such condition" Doctor said shocked
"Anyways am not here for any of such talks I wanted to tell that" Doctor stopped for a moment
"Khushi is too much weak due to lack of nutriution and rest. You guys have to keep her happy, and make sure she eat properly"Doctor told
"but doctor for now, she is in trauma how can we..." Zoya trailed
"look Zoya, you all need to do this it's important because.." She took a deep breath before breaking the news
"She is pregnant"
The five stood rooted to their spot. Khushi! Pregnant! How is Khushi going to react?
Khushi opened her eyes slowly. She saw to l everyone sitting around her except one, whom she is wishing to see from the past two week, her Arnav, her Life! She closed her eyes again, feeling the pain of separation but opened them soon after.
"How are you feeling now?"Dilshad asked sitting beside her, caressing her hair
Khushi looked at Dilshad with a sad smile.
"do I need to tell you this, Khala?"Khushi asked with painful voice
"he is dead Khushi! He is dead! Stop mourning for him and start to live your life Khushi! You have whole damn life to live" Rishab said angrily, he was tired of seeing his baby sister suffering to bits. He feared of losing her, like his brother, his friend, Arnav.
"stop it! Stop it Rishab! My Arnav is alive, he is alive! Can't you see am living, am breathing it is a big proof that he too is living somewhere" Khushi screamed back not accepting the fact
Zoya wiped her tears and taking a deep breath left from there while everyone stood confused, thinking what she is upto now?
After sometime, Zoya came with a bowl of soup. She sat beside Khushi and brought the spoonful o soup near her mouth but Khushi looked away not wanting to have anything.
"Khushi, eat it"Zoya ordered strongly
Khushi looked at her.
"I don't want to, Zoya! I will have it later. Don't bother yourself, you have another life to take care of"Khushi said
"and what about the life that you have to take care of? The life that is growing in your womb Khushi?" Zoya asked accusingly
Tears roll down Khushi's cheeks as she realization dawned on her. Involuntary her hand touched her stomach and a small smile lingers on her lips as she asked
"am...am pregnant?"
Zoya noded and then wiping her tears forward the spoonful of soup.
"now drink it!"Zoya said with a small smile
Khushi smiled and drinked the soup with mixed emotions.
Khushi stood outside in the balcony, leaning on railing and gazing starry sky. The cool breeze was fanning her face and running in her hair, her angelic face shining under the dim moonlight making her look like an Angel on earth.
Khushi took a deep breath, inhaling the cool fresh air, she caressed her stomach with a dazzling smile on her face that she had lost two weeks before.
"we are going to be parents Arnav"She whispered as she looked at sky
"I know you are somewhere, fighting with your ownself, come back soon Arnav am waiting for you! Come back soon!" Khushi prayed in low voice not less than a whisper, with closed eyes
A star broke down emitting a huge light making Khushi opened her eyes.
Khushi smiled brightly as she saw the broken star giving birth to a hope in her heart that her wish will be fulfilled but she didn't knew which wish it will accept and in which way, good or bad, only time will tell.
