"What should I not know?" I heard the voice of Arjun and my heart jumped into my mouth. My skin turned pale and I had this feeling that I was caught red handed!

I just didn't have any idea about what the heck should I do next. I didn't have words in my mouth.

"Amaya..." I heard Meera calling my name.

"Uh..yeah...Meera we'll talk later," I said and immediately hung up.

He stood at the door, staring at me with blank eyes. I really had this eerie feeling which I clearly knew wasn't good for me.

"Uh..it was Meera," I blurted out of nervousness and answered his unasked question.

"What should I not know Amaya?" He questioned with a monotonous voice.

"Nothing...it's none of your business," I said as I stood up from the bed.

"You took my name," the moment he completed the word 'name', I simultaneously said, "Why do you give yourself so much of importance?"

The moment I said this, he opened his mouth to say something but stopped and again repeated the same but he couldn't gather words to speak.

"You know what, I don't care..." he muttered and walked into the walk in closet.

I mentally had a laugh...wicked one but again I was back to thinking about Arjun.
Why do I think so much about Arjun? Even now I dozed off and dreamed of him...our very first sexual encounter. It's not like I am always having this feeling for him but then...yes, I am still finding him hotter than I used to and I-I am kind of attracted to him but, hey! Come on. Everyone knows he is not mine. And I don't even want him. I hate him.

Yes...
I hate him. Believe me or not!

I simultaneously had a thought about Aahana and Aryan...and everyone who have come here for me.

What will I tell them? How will I explain it to them that why I did this? After how Disha looked at me today with disgust, I decided I wouldn't go back to that house again...not after how miserable I felt after seeing mom and everyone behave with me.

But now, I just have got another reason to stay. Dad. My dad whom I have never seen nor heard off. That unknown person who suddenly got this very important place in my life.

But why mom? Why did he leave you? Why did he leave us? What had happened between you both? What was it that broke us?

Was my life so little complicated that you added some amazing intricate situations and settings that I cannot ignore Mr God?

How can I forget...it's a freaking test! I can't take your help. Sorry!

Arjun came out after a while wearing his casuals. He was surely going out...I could make out.

"Where are you going?" I asked out of curiosity.

"None of your business," he taunted.

"Ofcourse," I muttered.

He took a file out of the night stand and left. I kept on looking at him till he left the room, shutting it behind him.

Amazing isn't it? I am his wife but I am not his! I have him but I don't have him!

I took my iPad and checked in the gallery. My babies! Aahana and Aryan.

I was so scared and upset that I would never become a mother but I did and I should be happy about it and I am but...I asked for a family! A complete family.

Arjun, my babies and me. But this one important person Arjun...he was taken away from me.

Ever since childhood I wanted dad to be there with us. Mom, dad, bhai and me. But again, dad was never with us. I have always grown up being deprived of a complete family and now...I am used to it.

I thought how will I live without the man I love with all my heart but I learnt to live without him and that's what life and love is about! Go with the flow.

Six years back.

I was waiting impatiently in the maternity ward of Greenlawn  Hospital...shaking my legs, checking the phone, waiting for the nurse to call me inside.

I had already done a pregnancy test this morning and I knew I was pregnant. Those two lines...it just made my heart stop for a minute and I was continuously thanking God for this. But...just to be sure.

The reports which we (Arjun and I) had received about six months back broke us like nothing could ever do. He supported me like a rock no doubt but then things took a rough turn.

Disha came back into our lives and slowly started taking over Arjun. What do you think? I don't know that Arjun and Disha have met once in front of my eyes?

Ofcourse, I saw them together...in his office, this morning when I went there to break the news about my home pregnancy test and ask him to accompany me to the hospital (cause I am still a little scared of all of this), he was having his breakfast with Disha in his cabin and guess what, that was his "important" meeting.

"Mrs Amaya Malhotra?" Came out a nurse dressed in a white skirt and shirt with a white cap.

I looked up and saw she was calling me inside. I followed her into the cabin where Dr Gayatri was sitting with her laptop on and she was examining my report.

The antiseptic smell of the hospital always makes me nauseatic. I slowly took a seat and she looked up and flashed a beautiful smile.

"Hey Amaya," she said. "How are you?"

"I am good doctor," I replied while I was nervous about the reports.

"I can see you are a little nervous," she commented.

"Yeah...just a little. Is everything fine doctor?" I asked.

"Yes dear. Congratulations! You are going to become a mother," she said and I didn't know what to say next.

I couldn't react for a second but then my happiness literally knew no bounds. I never got any treatment done, never thought I would ever become a mother and here...I am going to become a mom. There will be a little kid to call me mommy. Oh my god.

I was about to say 'thank you' but then she broke another news.

"Hey hey, hold on. The news isn't over yet," she said with an amusing smile as she handed me the reports.

I looked at her with a confused look and then she said, "It's twins this time,"

I just couldn't express my joy there. I just had one thing to say...'Thank you God...thank you so much', I thought.

"Thanks doctor...it's like...I feel that baby I lost is coming back to me," I had tears in my eyes when I said that.

I know twenty one is like too young kind of age to become a mother but I feel these little ones can save my relationship...I can see a ray of hope. I can feel it!

I drove home straight from the hospital and waited impatiently for Arjun to come back but he didn't. Infact for the following two weeks, I saw none of his signs. He wouldn't answer my calls, he wouldn't reply my messages and then I saw on insta that he was in Berlin...on a conference and he didn't care to inform me. Not even once.

When he came back, he acted in all sorts of weird and rude ways. He didn't even sleep with me now. He wouldn't have breakfast with me...not even lunch and forget dinner. Admist all this, I just couldn't find an opportunity to talk about my pregnancy.

He wouldn't show up for like weeks and then one day I confronted him. I was six weeks pregnant and he was so into hating me, which I had already realised from the day he had threatened me to give a divorce, he didn't even notice how morning sickness was having the best of me.

He wouldn't just care...weeks turned into months and he didn't even spare a look at me. All my attempts to talk to him went in vain. He had even stopped speaking to Parth and I had already ignored him like anything.

What was Parth's fault?

I missed my Arjun. A part of me thought maybe my fault in not being able to conceive made him distant. On top of that work stress was making things shitty. It isn't like I didn't try...like even after we fought, we had sex...yes...but it was just sex. Anger and passion. It changed nothing between us. Soon, we moved into different rooms. Not with my consent Ofcourse. Even that decision was followed by a huge fight.

He said he didn't want to see me around. And I being the one trying begged for his forgiveness that night. He just threw me away and asked me to leave.

Never had he ever behaved so violently with me but that day, he did and I won't ever forget that day. Meanwhile, I already had a set of new friends that included Sarah and Aahil.

I resumed my studies, taking good care of myself, though depression was killing me. And yes, not to forget, this man literally made us shift to another duplex apartment. How can I even forget this point. He said we needed "privacy" and we did but that was his way of torturing me and making me more sick.

I continued with my doctor's appointment, regular checkups and everything that required for my babies to be fine.

Once I started showing which everyone couldn't really differentiate with my regular weight gain, I decided to talk things out...but they turned the other way round.

Present.

It was already evening when I decided to get changed and dress into a nice blue Prada cold shoulder dress and white pumps. I fish plated my hair and applied a little makeup.

The moment I exited the walk-in closet, I found Arjun, laying crossway on the bed and watching TV. I ignored him completely and was about to leave when I heard his voice.

"Where are you going?" He asked.

"To hell...wanna join me?" I asked in a rude tone.

"That makes you sound all the more irritating," he said making a nasty face.

"Do you even think I give a shit?" I asked back.

"Do you think you have got a face better than that?" He just literally called me shit!

"I know your Disha is very beautiful..." ouch! That hurts. "But I have a beautiful soul unlike hers," I added.

"Even I used to think the same...but you are a witch," he said.

"And your Disha is a bitch," I added.

If I am a witch then god knows what Disha is...

"Where did Disha come in between?" He asked, coming on his heels.

"Disha, my dear, was always there in between," I said, pointing virtually at the him. "And the fucking reason for our divorce," I muttered.

"Come again," he grew a little furious but does that even matter to him.

"As if you didn't hear!" I fired.

"When someone has faults in them then they should accept it...unlike you who is accusing her of something she isn't even aware about!" He said.

"Really? Arjun...I don't have words for you," I said and exhaled all my breath that I was holding.

He hurts me so much...how am I even living with this man under the same roof and sharing the same bed?

"Are you going to meet your 'boyfriend'?" He asked and the boyfriend word was in a very twisted tone.

Ugh...not again!

"Yes," I said as I waited for an expression to come my way but alas!

He banged the door shut on my face.
Stupid, jealous man...
I so hate him.
Blinded by that Disha. I swear I get these vibes from her...after all, wasn't it Disha and Arjun who were actually going to get married when I stepped in?
