CHAPTER 8

He was in deep sleep. His phone buzzed making him groan in irritation. Through half open eyes, he could barely see the name flashing on the screen. He could somehow figure out it was Khushi. "Hmm... he answered the call in sleep.

"Arnav! I am pregnant!

Arnav's car came to a screeching stop as he remembered it. He weaved his fingers through his hair thinking about that day.

He sat up in bed, shocked. Pregnant? His hand was trembling. He gulped, his throat dry. He wasn't sure what to say or how to react. His mind was numb for a moment. "A-are you s-sure? was the only thing he could say in shivering voice.

"I want to meet you... Now!

Arnav could sense Khushi's fear through her tensed voice. He knew for sure this wasn't a joke.

She just came running and hugged him tight as soon as she saw him. He could feel her warm tears soak into his T-shirt.

"Relax, Khushi he tried to pacify her, "Everything will be alright

"I know she said, sniffing, still holding him tight. "I know you will set things right. I trust you

Arnav wasn't sure how he was going to "set things right, but he had to figure out a way and that he already had. "Don't worry he said with determination.

"Yes... Let's get married said Khushi, nervous but excited. Nervous about how their families would accept their relationship, and excited for their future together.

"What?! Arnav almost pushed her away. "Married?! Are you crazy?

Khushi was surprised by his reaction. This was totally unexpected. "Why Arnav? Did I say anything wrong? she asked worried. "We both have jobs in hand, we are in a relationship since more than two years now, I am pregnant with your child and most important thing... we love each other! Khushi was waiting for a positive reply from Arnav, but was disappointed and surprised by his silence. "Don't you love me? she asked painfully as her eyes welled up again.

"I do love you, Khushi... But...

"But what, Arnav?

"I can't marry you now, Khushi...

"Why??

"Khushi.. please try and understand... You know I am planning to pursue MBA, you know how much I have worked hard for it and how difficult it is to get into a good college. I can't let my dream go just to get married...

"You are not trying to understand the situation, Arnav! It's not about...

"YOU are not understanding what I am saying, Khushi! MBA is my dream!

"And what about me?

"I want you, Khushi... But I can't get married now... Not for two more years at least! Why don't you understand?!

"I am pregnant with your child, damn it!! exclaimed Khushi with painful anger. "What do you expect me to do?

"Abort it!

Arnav shut his eyes tight with guilt and shame as he let his head fall back to the seat. How he wished he could go back in time and change the things he never wanted to happen!

*****

"Just one call? Khushi complained, "Couldn't you send just one text that you would be late?

"I know Khushi, I should have. I am sorry, but I was too occupied with work... Arvind tried to explain.

"I know you were with her! Khushi snapped back.

She knows? Arvind stared back at her in shock. What else does she know?
