Everything fell a little in place after Arjun told me the truth of his past. We both didn't leave my room that whole day and stayed in my room talking and talking. That day I got to know another side of Arjun which he hides away. I understood how he masks away the pain, the guilt he feels to this day about what happened to Anjali. I never saw Arjun crying. This was the first time I have seen him crying that too this hard. I held him in my arms the whole day and let him get it all out. I let him talk and talk about all the memories, good and bad that he locked away in the deepest columns of his heart.

I wish I could meet Anjali. The way Arjun described her....I know she held and still holds a special place in his heart. Listening about her made me feel like we would have been really good friends if she was alive. I admire and respect her for being so brave even when she was getting abused and beaten. My heart clenched when I heard of the way she died. That asshole deserves nothing but pain. I never thought I would sy this but I wish I can strangle him with my own hands. I wish he feels all that pain Anjali felt when she was dying. I never knew I can be this hostile towards someone whom I have never even met.

After staying that night in my room we left to our home the next morning. Arjun was adamant on taking me home stating that he missed me too much to let me stay another nanosecond away from me. Dramatic much don't you think?!

It's been a few days since his confession. Our lives felt normal. We fell back on the same routine of going to work and coming back home. Except for the bodyguards trailing me wherever I go. Yes! My dear husband appointed four bodyguards for me who always tag behind me. Even at work they guard my door and it is creepy. I mean no offense I respect and admire the though but seriously four!? Isn't it too overboard?

And when I said the same to Arjun he said in his dominating alpha male tone that either I take the bodyguards with me or I don't go out of the home. I was pissed but I controlled knowing why he is doing that. And since then the bodyguards go wherever I go. Worse part is that they don't speak a word and I am talkative! It's so awkward when we travel in car with that tensed serious silence. And they are so alert and cautious everywhere I go.

I won't lie even I am cautious. Life sometimes seemed so......dangerous. The feeling of someone out there trying to hurt me is......terrifying no matter how I try to reassure myself that I am safe and at home.

And to add to that I have been feeling sick since a few days and I haven't been able to concentrate on anything. I haven't told Arjun because I didn't want him to be more worried than he already is. Even though he shows how he is okay I know it's affecting him more than he is letting on. He is scared of that asshole trying to hurt me or someone from our family. And I didn't want to burden him more with my random stomach bugs or flu.

Right now I am making breakfast for everyone and Ma was helping me. Ma was so happy when I came back to our house and when she got to know that Arjun confided in me. We are currently making french toast and omlette for everyone and suddenly I felt dizzy. I held onto the counter tightly and Ma noticed.

"Oh my! What happened beta? Are you okay? Let me call Arjun" She said holding me and was about to call Arjun when I stopped her.

"Ma wait! I am fine.... It's just I am feeling a little bit of fatigue and I think I'll go to the doctor to check today. Please don't tell Arjun. It probably must be a stomach bug or flu and he will be unnecessarily worried. He has a big meeting today and I don't want him to get distracted" Ma was not sure but she agreed anyway after warning me to go see the doctor today. I promised her I would and went to call everyone for breakfast.

After having a hearty breakfast filled with light chat from with everyone we got ready for our day ahead.

Arjun couldn't drop me in the hospital today because he has an important meeting today so I went in another car with my bodyguards following me as usual.

I took an appointment withe OB Gyn before I came and was waiting near the seating area for them to call me. I asked the bodyguards to wait in the car since I wasn't comfortable with them coming inside. For once they actually listened to me and stayed in car. Suddenly I felt like someone was watching me making me freeze in my spot. The last time I felt like this I was poisoned. But then I am in the hospital and I didn't think he would do something bad in public so I relaxed a bit thinking it was just paranoia.

Finally I was called in for my check up. Dr. Priyanka is an OB Gyn in the same hospital I work in and I have seen her around a few times and we talked a few times during lunch breaks.

"Hi Dr. Dixit how are you?" She asked me as soon as I entered.

"Hey! Adira please. And I haven't been feeling that good lately" I said smiling at her sitting down.

"Okay Adira run me through it" She said leaning forward and opening her notebook.

"Okay so I have been feeling very dizzy and a little bit of fatigue. Also I am feeling a lot more hungry tthan I used to be" She nodded noting what all I said down on paper.

"Since when have you been feeling like this?"

"Since a week I guess" She nodded at me and asked "You were admitted a week and a half before because of poison attack right?"

"Yes I was" I said suddenly feeling a little bit worried and uncomfortable talking about the attack.

"Okay I need to take your blood sample and send it to the lab. The lab is free now so it won't take long to get the results" saying that she took my blood sample and went to the lab to get the results herself.

I was left alone with my thoughts and my brain is working a mile wondering what could be wrong and if it is anywhere related to the poison attack I faced. After twenty minutes or so Dr. Priyanka came back with the results. She smiled at me warmly and told me the shocking news as of now in my life.

"There is noting to worry about Adira. Infact it's a good news. You are one month pregnant!" She said smiling at me happily. I was shocked to say the least. Now that she said yes my periods were late and it completely slipped my mind. A warm feeling spread in my chest and my hands went to my belly. I am pregnant. A part of me and Arjun is growing inside me and happiness spread through my body.

Suddenly something struck my mind

"Dr. I...recovered from a poison attack just a little while before. Would there be any complications because of that on my pregnancy?" I asked worried about my baby.

My baby! I feel so ecstatic to say that.

"I too had the same worry and run another test on your blood and no the poison didn't seep too much into your blood enough to destroy your embryo so no there won't be any problem. Would you like to do an ultrasound?" I nodded eagerly at her which made her chuckle in amusement.

She led me to the bed in her room and asked me to lay down and lift my top. Good thing I am wearing a kurti today.

She applied the cold gel on my belly and suddenly a tiny blob appeared on the screen. Tears sprung to my eyes at the sight. My baby, my little peanut is growing in me. I wish Arjun was here with me. I asked for a picture of the ultrasound and Priyanka was more than happy to give me one.

She also gave me prenatal vitamins and and also explained me do's and don'ts during this time. I thanked her and left her cabin running out to get home and tell Arjun about this amazing news.

I came out of the building and called the driver and also my head bodyguard Karan.

..........................................................................

And then I slipped into oblivion struggling to get out of it.

Tada!
