Author's POV

" Priya closed the curtains " Arjun grumbled, turning to the other side being annoyed by the sun rays which disturbed his sleep.

It's just been three hours since he fell asleep, and the morning sun rays disturb it too. Yesterday night was one hell out of tiring for him, all the emotional outcomes and stress drained his energy. In addition to that alcohol did it's worst part.

Hangover.

Tightening his eyelid, Arjun frowned due to the continuous disturbance of the bright sunlight on his face.

" Priyaaaaaa " growing in irritation he opened his one eye and searched for her waving his arm here and there in bed.

Arjun opened his eyes in jerk at the moment when he felt something wet and sticky in his palm.

At first his vision was a little blurry, smudging his eyes with his thumbs. Arjun took a clear look at his palm only to jerk it away in shock.

The sight in front of him was apocalyptic, priya was lying there being prostrate but what shocked him was the blood around her lower part of body.

His breathing became heavy in nervousness, he mentally prayed that it shouldn't be what he was thinking.

" Pri.....priya..... priya" tapping on her cheeks arjun attempted to wake her up, however she didn't even budge. Seeing her lying lifeless he got scared.

Without wasting a minute he picked her up in his arms and took her to hospital. On the way to the hospital his only prayer was for Priya's well-being.

°°°°°°°°°°

It's been hours since doctors took her inside the ICU, and none of them have come out yet. Each passing seconds were like a year for him. Tapping his foot on the floor , Arjun was sitting on a chair with his hands joined with each other attached to his forehead.

He cursed himself for being careless towards her when he knew she was already going through a lot of stress and frustration.

He regrets telling her the truth, he really does. Now the guilt of being a reason for all these will eat him alive.

The sight of her unconscious figure was not leaving his mind even for a second. That was the worst thing he saw ever in his life.

His subconscious mind knows that he lost his precious bundle of joy, yet his heart wasn't ready to accept it. How can he accept that ? His hopes and prayers wouldn't let something like that ,like this he convinced his own self.

He can't believe, 24 hours ago everything was fine, they were just perfect. Nevertheless everything changed upside down in just 24 hours.

Life is unpredictable he thought and took a long breath to calm his rising heart.

After a few more minutes , the doctor came out, opening the ICU door. The doctor's facial expression was so stable. Arjun got up from his seat Seeing the doctor approaching him.

" Arjun we are sorry to say this, your wife had a miscarriage " as soon as the doc said this, Arjun's eyes got filled with tears.

He lost his child, they lost their child. Although he was already thinking of abortion for priya at last night, because as he already stated he loves her more then anything, and he can't take risk with her life. still losing their unborn child gave him the feel of living hell.

After a few minutes of pause the doc continued " Her body couldn't handle the Stress and anxiety. We removed that blood clot while operating her . Hereafter there will be no such issues, Priya is unconscious now but you can see her, just don't disturb her. She will wake up in an hour I guess. I'm sorry for your loss Arjun. Soon everything will be fine. " doctor tapped on Arjun's shoulder and left from there.

For a few minutes Arjun stood there by himself, without any expression or reaction. But one thing wasn't the same. His tears.

Gulping the lump which created in his throat while the doctor told him about his loss. Tears were flowing through his cheeks, he didn't know whether he should be happy that priya is safe, or he should be sad that he lost his first ever child.

Isn't that what he wanted ? Then why now he's feeling the pain of losing the most precious thing. Just yesterday he assured priya that he loves her more than anything, even more than their child. Then why now he's feeling so pathetic as a father ? Maybe some things will never change just like the parents' affection and love for their kids.

Walking towards the ICU he opened it and went inside.

Priya was lying unconscious, Arjun slowly walked and stood near her. Her face looked so pale. Dry lips, messy hairs and red nose made her illness visible.

Bending down till her level he placed the gentle kiss on her forehead adjusting her hair stands. From now on he needs to show her more love and care because she needs it too. More than him she was attached to their child from day one, after all she was the one who carried it inside her womb. Now the emptiness in her womb will always remind her about their unborn child.

He just wants to pass this time, pass this disaster of their life, whatever is meant to happen has already happened. It's like a life cycle of happiness, satisfaction , gain , content, sadness, pain , frustration, loss , and again in search of happiness. That's how the life cycle works. Now all he wants is their happy and peaceful life back. Crying over this won't give their child back, nor it will solve the issues, in fact he needs to be strong to support her, at least infront her he needs to be strong. Accept it or not, everyone has to move on in life because WE DON'T HAVE CHOICE other than moving on.

Gazing at her stomach he sighed and touched it with his shivering hands. He missed the special feeling that he used to get whenever he touched her stomach. His trance of thoughts were broken by the door opening sound.

Wiping the lone tear from his eyes, Arjun looked at the entrance and found a nurse coming in with a tray of some medicines and a trip bottle.

" Sir, can you please go out for a while ? I have to give her the medicine and trips, ''the nurse asked, being polite. Arjun was about to leave but he heard the nurse saying " sir , we need to change her clothes too.....can you bring her undergarments because we can online provide the hospital gown so.....and don't worry about your wife being alone here I'll take care of her. ''Arjun simply nodded at her and left for home.

He needs to freshen up too, from the moment he woke up he has been running here and there so he didn't even get time to brush his teeth.

Standing under the shower arjun turned on the shower, his muscles clenched when the warm water touched his skin yet he felt relaxed.

Running his fingers on his hairs, Arjun closed his eyes and rewind everything that happened in these two days.

The water helped him to hide his tears, he hates to cry but he himself couldn't hold back his tears. Running his face with his hands in the flowing water he promised himself that it would be the last time he cries over their child, because from now he needs to be strong for priya.

After getting dressed in a plain blue shirt paired up with gray pent, he combed his hair and went to the kitchen.

Arjun made some fresh juice for priya and pecked it. He also took some of her comfy clothes along with her undergarments.

Locking the main door he carried the bag which had some stuffs for priya, he drove back to hospital, on the way he informed about priya's miscarriage to Nadhiya and his perents.

By the time he reached the hospital Priya was awake. Arjun went inside and placed the bag on the table beside bed.

Priya was seated leaning on the headrest of the bed, her both arms were wrapped around her stomach with her head down.

She looked up as she felt his presence near her, Arjun and Priya had a moment of silence for some unknown reasons. He looked into her red and tired eyes, she felt like he just took a glance of her soul through her eyes.

Breaking the eye contact with him, Priya looked outside of the window. She wasn't herself anymore.

" How're you feeling now ? " Breaking the awkward silence,'' Arjun asked her.

Priya didn't say anything, instead she continued to look outside, the dark and thick formed clouds were looking smoothing to her eyes, the atmosphere became windy as the speed of air increased and multitude of air passed through the obstacles, this process of friction realises eolian sounds of winds.

clouds spat out their beads of water. Puddles began plinking as the rainfall became heavier. She could hear the murmuring of the rain through the window. It sounded like the buzzing of angry bees. The chillness in the air didn't please her this time like it does everytime.The pouring rain looks like it's reflecting all of Priya's emotions at once.

Arjun walked near the window and closed it because the heavy rain was talking in the room.

" I have brought some fresh juice for you, '' Arjun said, walking near her and seated beside her.

" I don't want it " was all she said.

" Priya I know whatever happened is unacceptable for you, for us. But we have to accept it and move on in life. We can share the pain...." before he could say anything further priya showed him her palms and stopped him from talking.

" Save it for later Arjun , I'm not ready for any of your lectures. " She spoke with so much frustration and anger. He was a little hurt by her behaviour towards him, but also he understood her state of mind. Right now all she needs is comfort and care, nothing else.

He nodded at her and leaned further to give her a comfort hug but priya moved aside as he approached her.

Arjun was taken back from her behaviour, why is she keeping distance with me ? Arjun asked himself and the answer he got was silence.

Hiding the feeling of rejection, Arjun faked a smile just to make her comfortable but Priya ignored it.

Right now she is a mess, her mind is messed with a lot of negative thoughts. She wants him to counsel her, hug her and give the comfort for which she is carving yet her overthinking mind isn't letting her to do that.

First she needs to clear her mind otherwise she might end up hurting Arjun with her words and behaviour.

Rest of the day went like that, Arjun trying to be normal with her, trying to talk About the things and priya ignoring it. Arjun too understood that she needs time to accept whatever happened with them.

At night he made her eat the hospital food as it was compulsory to eat the Hospital food only.

While Arjun was feeding her the food, Priya's gaze was only on him. After a point of time Arjun felt weird with her gaze but he didn't say anything.

" Have you informed mom? " she asked with a blank face.

" Hmm I did, mom will be here by tomorrow as the flight tickets weren't available for today, '' Arjun said, feeding her the last morsel of food.

Priya gulped it and drank the water, Arjun gave her medicine which she took without any tantrums.

Meanwhile, Arjun cleaned the plates and pecked them. Priya layed down on bed and closed her eyes. In just a few minutes Arjun heard her calm breaths, she was already asleep ? He thought and went to her.

Cherishing her cheeks with his thumb he placed a long kiss on her cheeks. He wondered about her not crying the whole day, it's so unusual of her. The whole day she behaved like Robert, she did whatever she was told without any expression and question. He stared at her for a few more minutes before going to sleep on the couch.

Priya will get discharged tomorrow, the doctor has instructed him on how to take care of her, how to handle her in this situation. Arjun eventually slept thinking all these.

In the middle of the night his sleep disturbed by some noise, getting up from the couch Arjun followed the source of the noise and it led to priya.

She was crying.

Seeing her crying Arjun got tensed he went to her " priya......priya why are you crying " he felt so stupid to ask her reason for crying. It was obvious why she was crying , yet he asked her out of the blue.

Priya didn't reply to her, instead she started to cry loudly. Arjun bent down and hugged her. Sewing her like this, breaks him too.

" I'm so unlucky " Priya breathed out while saying this.

" No baby you aren't , " Arjun tried to make her sober but nothing was working.

" Arjun, you know when I was a kid my dad left me, and now my child. No one loves me. I'm a curse to everyone. See now also I'm bothering so much.........i can't give you happiness, I'm a curse " saying this priya again burst into another cry. Arjun hugged her tightly and mouthed some sweet words in her ear.

After a few minutes priya's breath got normal, she stopped crying. Arjun thought now everything will be fine but it was his mistake to think like that.

priya called him after a long pause " Arjun "

" Hmmmm " Arjun hummed in response, while his both arms were still wrapped around her securely.

" I need some space, " Priya murmured again.

Arjun parted away from her thinking that she must be having difficulty breathing because his hug was way more than tight " Is this ok ? " He asked me to adjust her hair standing behind her ear.

Priya sighed and said, " Arjun, what I meant was.....I need space from you, we need a break from each other. It's.... it's kind of suffocating me. Please I need some time alone for my own self, heck I can't even cry in your presence. I need to be alone please......" Looking at him she waited for his reply, where Arjun was just staring at her with a blank face.
