Pooja's P.O.V
I stare at the mirror as I wipe my face on a towel. Morning sickness sucks. I lift my top and rub my hand on my bare stomach gently. Pregnant. I still couldn't believe I was carrying another human being inside me. I could still hear the doctor's words, Congratulations, Mrs.Kashyap. You are going to be a mom.
Ma had been the one to take me to the hospital making Megha go back home. She was the only other person who knew about my pregnancy. I told Ma not to tell anyone anything. Not even to Megha. It's not that I don't want anyone to know, but I want myself to accept the fact before others come to know.
With the morning sickness I was afraid, when Arjun was going to find out about this before I tell. But chances for that were very slim.
Arjun had started drinking alcohol and now most of the nights when he's home, he would be drunk right after dinner. And only woke up close to noon, with a hangover and soon left home. Dad has been helping him take care of his business and Arjun being like this is really pissing him off.
Megha's due date was nearing. Just one more week to go. Remya has been like a hawk behind us and Ajay was still blind to it.
There was some function of some far off relative and most of them from home had gone to attend it, leaving me and Megha and some others here. Megha was lying on my lap and resting when I felt like I needed to tell her about my pregnancy. She would be happier than me and atleast I could ask her what to expect.
"Megha......", I softly call out not wanting to wake her up.
"Yes cupcake.", she opens her eyes and looks at me, wide awake.
"You remember, that day I fainted at the mall? Ma taking me to hospital?"
"Yaa..... what about that?"
"Dear, I'm.... actually I --"
Before I could complete the door bursts open with Rahul at the door with a box of chocolates in his hand., "Megha Di.... Ajay Bhaiya is calling you downstairs." With that he shuts the door and runs away.
"This guy has the best timing. Cupcake just a second, I'll be back.", with that she leaves the room.

I don't know how Megha is going to react to the news. Normally she would smack me for not telling earlier but now with her pregnant you can never expect anything.
I wait for her a few minutes before I hear a someone screaming. Megha.
I rush out of the room towards the stairs, just when someone had run round the opposite corner out of my sight. Before running behind that green duppatta (shawl) I look down the stairs when I heard Megha's cry.
At the bottom of stairs Megha was lying in a pool of blood......

I wait outside the ICU when I hear a bunch of footsteps rushing towards here. I raise my head and see my parents with Ajay and Ma. Ma comes hugs me and I break down in her arms. She sents me home even after my protests to stay back.
Going back, I see that the blood had been cleaned from the floor. I rush to my room, suddenly feeling the urge to throw up. I wash my face a couple of times and lay on the bed restless.
That duppatta. Who was it? Ajay wasn't home, so probably someone might have sent Rahul. And that explained the chocolate box in his hands. The kid was bribed to lie. But who the hell was it?
If there was someone who wanted Megha out, it was Remya. Bloody bitch.
I storm out towards her room. And just when I was about to open the door, I heard her laughing and talking to someone.
"You see, finally he is all mine.", she tells with a sick laugh.
I don't hear any reply before she talks again, so I guess she was talking on phone.
"I really wish I had done this long back...ya, I know."
"Ya. Ya. Just take care of yourself and the baby. Even if you didn't want it, Arjun wouldn't want anything to happen to it. Ok, then. See you."
What the f*k! Why did she just say Arjun's name?
Even before I could think rationally, anger took over me and I open the door and enter to see Remya, and a green duppatta on her bed. I slap her hard and she curses under her breath.
"Why the hell did you do this Remya?"
"What are you talking about?", her expression innocent. If this was any other situation I would have given her an Oscar.

"Stop bluffing Remya. You know very well what I meant. And don't try denying it. I. SAW. YOU. Why would you do something like this?", my voice broke at the end.
She laughs. Not the angelic one, but the demonic one. "You want to know why? Why I basically killed her and her bastard child? It was my place. I was the one to be Ajay's wife. Ajay was supposed to be mine, not hers. He made a mistake of choosing her. So all I did was correct his mistake."
Just as her words hit me, I don't hold back but slap her again. She raises her head with a death glare but something behind me catches her attention and just like a switch went on water works start. I turn back and see a very angry Arjun, standing by the door. Remya runs into his hands crying, but not without bumping into me, and he cradles her.
Suddenly I feel like a heavy rock was on my chest, seeing him holding her and murmuring sweet nothings to her. Was this how Arjun held me when I cried? Was it only a part of his sick game?
He pushes her a little so that he could see her face and asks her what was all the noise coming from here. By this time about half of the population in the house was there in the room.
"Ar...jun you...you...won't believe...... me if..... I told.... you. No one..... no one would....... believe.", she tells all the while with fake hiccups.
"What is it Remya?", his voice hard.
"She.... she pushed Megha down.", with that everyone's faces turn to me.
"I didn't! I didn't do it. Why would I do something like that?"
Arjun glares at me asks me to shut my mouth. I choke on a sob, trying to stay strong for my Megha. Gone was the sweet Arjun, this was the stranger, the one who hated me for marryying him.
"Remya tell me clearly what happened.", he asks.
"I saw. First I thought I heard some noise outside and when I came out of my room, I saw them arguing and then she pushed Megha down the stairs.", Remya points an accusing finger in my direction. "She told she loved Ajay all these years even from Highschool and she didn't want Megha to carry his baby. It had to be she who was supposed to carry it. Arjun I saw her push Megha down. I saw her Arjun.", she holds onto his arms and starts bawling.
I stay shocked on my spot. I can see something kind of hurt flash through Arjun's eyes, then it was pure hatred. Hate towards me.
"Arjun I didn't. I didn't do anything. She is lying Arjun.", I walk up to him with tears in my eyes and reach out to hold his hands, but he steps back. "Arjun please believe me."
"Get out. Out of my sight. Out of this house. Out of everyone's life. Just get out.", his voice cold and filled with hate.
I look for Ma and see her in tears. I silently plead her to believe me.
"Arjun...just think this through then....", Ma starts. Her voice trembling.
"Will you just stop taking decisions in my life Ma. I know what to do in my life and I don't want anyone dictating it for me.", he raises his voice at Ma but his eyes still staring at me with hate. "I want you out of hear this second and don't think this time my parents are there for you. Because if you stay I go out."
"Arjun please believe me. I won't be even able to hurt a hair on Megha. Then how the hell am I going to push her down. Arjun please listen to me, please.", I slowly inch closer and cups his cheeks making him look at me. His eyes softens for a second but then he pushes me back.
"Why would I listen to you Pooja? From day one I asked you to get out of my life. You were and are nothing to me Pooja. Just nothing.", I feel like a thousand knives stabbing into my body as he looks away from my face and steps back.
"And don't let what happened two months back get into your head." With that he leaves the room shoving me hardly to a side, making me fall on my knees.
Everyone slowly start trickling out of the room, either with hateful glances or pity looks towards me, leaving me alone with Arjun's hateful words.
