Erica's POV

Finally its pack up. Needed the pack up so badly. It's such an exhausting day. Being an actor was currently taking so much toll on me. This set of Kasauti Zindagi Ki has brought so many good people in my life. People here have given me love and support. And since the announcement everyone have lavishly cared on me so much. They are the best people to work with. These days the schedules have been so busy as I would be taking a maternity break. And so I had to finish all the shots before I leave. But being pregnant and working in such hectic schedules was becoming quite hectic. And with the morning sickness and my emotions all over the place, it's quite a challenge to give better shots. As an actor it became quite stressful that I couldn't give the best of mine. I know the stress isn't good but my hormones wouldn't help me in anyway.

Shaheer wasn't actually happy about me coming to the shoot and probably these are the reasons. He wanted me to rest as much as possible. But I too had commitments and work to do.

As I drove down the car, my head pounded with so much pain and the Mumbai traffic wasn't helping me in anyway. I was just too tired. All I needed was some sleep. I just wanted to cuddle into my husband's arms and sleep.

The moment I reached doorstep of our house, I could hear the television from inside. It was so loud and my head start pounding yet again. The door turned with a click and I entered inside. Mess. The entire house was a mess. The lunch dishes still on the dining table. Shaheer's clothes were all over the floor. He sat there carefree, watching the television with the popcorns flying around everywhere. The light from television was being the only source of light in that dark room.

"hey! How was the day?" he said cheerfully. For the first time in my life I felt like killing him. Seriously. I had a heck of a day and he's here chilling out. Does he even care about me? I did not answer and moved forward but darkness couldn't help me with seeing the mess on the floor and I tripped on some of his clothes. Luckily I managed to hold myself in time and hitting myself on my stomach.

"Sonakshi!" he jumped out of the couch and helped me up from the floor. "Oh my god! Are you alright? Are you hurt somewhere?"

"What the hell Shaheer! Can't you just keep the house organised for once! I could have fallen down because of you." he got perplexed because of my sudden outburst.

"Calm down Eri! Nothing happened. Everything's fine." he said calming down the situation. Seriously! Nothing happened? Sometimes these men act like such dickheads.

"Seriously! Nothings OK. I am already so tired because of my work and I was expecting to come back home and rest. All I return to is a mess! I don't know how on earth could you make this place like this. Couldn't you just leave this place the way I left it today morning. If you really think I'm gonna fix this mess, then you're wrong. I am already drained out because of the pregnancy. Get your mess cleared right now. Am I supposed to take care of our child or you?" I bursted out losing all my shit. I could just feel my anger building up.

"I am so sorry Erica! I should've...." he tried apologising but i just couldn't take anything anymore.

"Enough Shah! I don't wanna talk anymore." I moved to my room carefully watching out my way. Trying my best to not trip again. I just got into the bed. I couldn't help not crying. I couldn't even control my emotions. I could do nothing but cry myself to sleep.

The sunlight peeped through the dark curtains, disturbing my embrace. My eyes flickered open to a room which looked completely different right now. Definitely not haphazard it looked last night. The entire room was filled with flowers and looked beautiful than ever before. The room was filled with some really different aroma. An aroma of some really delicious food. I got out of the bed and went downstairs to the kitchen only to find Shaheer cooking pancakes. The morning light toned down his body so beautifully. His naked torso looked like it was chiselled by the best sculpture. Gosh! I love him so much!

"Good Morning, love! How are you feeling? Are you still angry since last night?"he said still concentrated on his cooking.

"I'm fine." I said circling my hands around his body from behind. I gently kissed him on his back. I felt bad for getting angry on him last night. A messy home wasn't anything new. With him the house is always like that. I guess my hormones didn't help me with my control. "I am sorry. I got mad last night."

"That's absolutely fine. I deserved it. I should be the one who should be sorry about yesterday. I should have been considerate enough." he said. "why don't you go freshen up while I get the breakfast ready." he offered and I hoped towards the room to get ready. Once I got ready for the work, I went downstairs to the dining table.

The pancakes were hot and ready on the table with my favourite flavoured juice. There was low music playing in the room it took me a few moments to realise that the song was 'You and I' by One Direction. He knew I loved that song much.

Shaheer came from behind bringing me to the table. We sat down and had the breakfast. My morning started off with my favourite breakfast and the song that cheered me up so much. I loved the efforts that he made just to make me feel better.

"Thanks for bearing with my mood swings, Shah. I love you so much."

"That's my talent that I can handle you. Your moods don't just swing - they bounce, pivot, recoil, rebound, oscillate, fluctuate and occasionally pirouette. And I know very well how to handle them." he winked at me. Damn.
