Shreyas

"I'm pregnant"

My heart stopped beating. My phone dropped from my hand and my head pounded.

No no it can't be happening.

My eyes filled with tears and my heart was beating so fast like I just ran a marathon.

I sat down on the sofa, my head spinning.
This is my worst nightmare. Fuck my life.

I could hear laila scream in the phone. I picked it up again and listened to her.

"There's no denying we had sex shrey. What more proof do you want?", She said.

"It can't be. I know for sure we didn't have sex laila. Don't try to fool me here. I'm not stupid", I screamed tears flowing down my face.

"What am I going to gain by lying to you shreyas? I just tested and the test came positive. If you don't believe me I will fucking show it to you", she screamed.

"No. You're lying".

"We both did this together shrey. Don't you fucking dare back out of this".

A baby with laila has to my worst nightmare come true.

I don't want to do anything with this woman in my life and now here she is telling me that I'm the father of her child.

No it's can't be.

The only person I wanna have kids with, have a family with, have a future with is Aria.

But she left me too.

I have nothing now.

No future. Nothing to look up to.

I miss seeing her every morning and every night. I miss hearing her voice. I miss her. I can't do this. This cannot be my child.

I'm going to ask laila to abort the baby.

I don't want to deal with this.

"Shreyas are you listening to me?", She yelled.

"Yes.. yes.. I am",I said even though I did not pay attention to anything she said.

"This is our child. We are going to be parents shreyas. That is it", she said.

Fuck this woman.

"Okay listen to me carefully laila. Meet me at the grand bay restaurant in two hours. We'll talk about this", I said making up my mind to tell me about the abortion.

I do not want this kid at any cost.

She cannot pressurize me into this.

I tried calling Rahul and decided to tell him about all this. Him and Deepak have been so angry at me. They don't listen to me either when I tell them that I didnt do anything.

It got worse coz deepak saw laila in my bedroom.

They have been talking to aria. I know it. But they're not telling me anything about her whereabouts.

I need her back. I need to tell her I love her.
She's my strength. She's my everything and I won't stop at anything.

But Rahul didn't pick my call. He's been ignoring me like the plague. I sighed and got up to see laila.

I got dressed and left to meet her. Once I reached the restaurant, I asked them for a table of two in one of the corners.

The last thing I need right now is Paparazzi flocking around me to get the news. If this is out, then I'm done for life.

I sat and waited for her to come. It was about 40 minutes later that she turned up strutting in her high heels and extremely short skirt.

How much I miss Aria. Her calm composure. Her smile. I can't take her off my head.

"Hiiiiii shreyas", she cooed hugging me.

I refused the hug and asked her to sit down.

"Tell me you're lying laila. Tell me this is not our child", I glared at her.

"I knew you'd say the same things all over again. I got you this", she said pushing a small stick in front of me.

By the looks of it, it looked like a pregnancy test and it had two small pink lines on it indicating that she was pregnant.

The air in my lungs were sucked out looking at them.
She's not lying.

"See. I told you. It's ours. We're gonna be parents", she said leaning forward and touching my hand.

I lost it.

"Don't fucking touch me laila. Don't. This is not going to happen laila. I want you to abort the baby", I said strictly.

"Uh. I'm not doing that shreyas. It's my baby as much as it's yours. I'm keeping it and you better be there for us".

"Laila please. I have a girlfriend laila. I want my life, my future, to be with her. This was a mistake. We were a mistake. Please..", I begged her.

"No shreyas. I'm keeping this baby and that's it", she said.

What more can I do after this.

She's right. It's her baby too.

I could see my everything shatter down to bits.

I've lost Aria.

I told laila I didn't wanna talk to her anymore and left. She walked along with me.

When we stepped out of the hotel, the paparazzi were everywhere.
Who the fuck called them? How did they know?

Multiple photos were being taken, multiple questions being thrown at me.

"Is this your girlfriend shreyas?".

"Then who's the other girl you were with?".

"Is this a PR stunt shreyas?".

Laila jumped at their questions and held my hand. She's not used to the paparazzi too, I understand that but I don't want any rumour about us going out.

I denied all their questions and went straight into my car and asked laila to get in too.

No matter how mad I am at her right now I didn't want to leave her on the streets.

She asked me to drop her off to her apartment and I did and went home.

I had no energy to do anything anymore.

Aria

Days went by and I missed him.

I missed shreyas. He might have cheated on me but that doesn't mean I've lost all my love for him. I will always have a soft spot for him and I definitely know it's going to take me forever to get over him.

I loved him with all my heart. He was my support system. But now, I've lost it.

I was moping around my new apartment when I heard a knock on my door.

Forget I said knock.

Is that a door or a tabala?

Who the hell?

I opened the door to find Rahul and Deepak grinning at me and for the first time I stepped forward and hugged Rahul.

I missed him. It's the first time Im seeing him after the whole issue.

"Deepak... Aria is hugging me. I think going to cry", he said hugging me back tightly.

"I missed you", I sniffed.

"I missed you too baby girl. Don't put your snot all over my sweatshirt. This shit is expensive", he said ruffling my hair.

I punched him and smiled.

They came in and settled on the sofa while rahul put his leg on my new coffee table.
For the first time I didn't mind it.

The feeling of him and Deepak in my house with me right now was all I needed to feel better.

I sat inbetween them and cuddled into Deepak.

"If I say something will you kick me out of your house", said Rahul pulling me into him.

I shook my head and cuddled deeper into him. I needed comfort right now , that's it.

"Now that a certain asshole is not in the picture. I'm gonna be your new boy toy", he grinned.

"Rahul!", Glared deepak.

I didn't say anything. I just didn't want to talk about him.

"Don't be like this. Yell at me, hit me, throw me out of the house for god's sake. But don't be like this", he said pulling me closer and kissing my head.

"I don't have the energy for it rahul. I don't feel like doing anything", I said fresh tears forming in my eyes.

"I know what to do", he said getting up, " I'm gonna cook for you. I'm going to make you eat so much and become round like Humpty Dumpty and then nobody will want to be with you so I can keep you to myself all the time", he said smiling like a child.

"Can you make me some pasta?", I asked smiling.

"Anything for you sweet cheeks", he said blowing me a kiss and dancing into the kitchen.

"What should I do princess?", Smiled Deepak wiping the tear off my face.

"Sit with me and watch sad movies", I said pulling my laptop off the table.

"Or ever better. How about I go bake some brownies for you?", He smirked.

"Yes yes yes please. Also some apple pie and cinnamon rolls please", I said jumping in my seat.

"Anything for you darling", he said going into the kitchen.

I lied down on the sofa and closed my eyes.

I'm so thankful for Deepak and Rahul. Idk how I would have coped if not for them.

My whole house smelled like a bakery. Both savoury and sweet filled my nose and my stomach growled.

Rahul and Deepak came in with huge trays of food. Rahul had made be some Alfredo pasta, barbeque chicken wings and pizza. I have no idea how he managed to make so many things so quickly.

Deepak's tray made me drool. Legit.
It had brownies both choco chip and Oreo, it had apple cinnamon pie and and cinnamon rolls. He also made gulab jamuns.

I looked at the both of them in complete awe.

"Do you wanna kiss me Ari?", Rahul winked.

"I actually might. This smells divine", I leaned forward and took in the aroma of everything I front of me.

"Okay then why wait. Gimme my pappi", rahul crushed me into a hug.

I pulled his face and kissed his cheek.

"Thank you for everything", I said.

"She loves me more deepak", said Rahul pulling me closer.

"Okay don't get too high of yourself. Let me eat", I said pushing him and filling my plate up.

Once we were done eating, Rahul picked up my laptop saying he'll pick a movie for us to watch.

He was busy scrolling through my lappy when he suddenly shut it down.

"What happened?", I asked.

Why is he acting weird.

"We'll do something else. No movie for the night", he said putting my laptop away.

"I have a movie in mind", I said quickly pulling my laptop from his hand.

When I opened it, my heart stopped.

It was tabloid with shrey and laila's picture.

"Shreyas Iyer was spotted with his new girlfriend at the Grand bay restaurant"

They were holding hands and they looked like they were walking to the car together.

Not even a month and he's already moved on?

I guess that's all I meant to him.

Was I so easy to forget?

Why am I still holding onto him? Why do I still have hopes that nothing happened between them?

Guess I need to move on too.

I got up and took my phone, went to my room and closed the door.

I waited as the phone rang.

I have made up my mind.
I'm going to move on too.

"Amma, I'm ready for marriage".
