*Navya Pov*
"You can't threaten me like that, Navya." He said, pulling me towards him.
"I can and I will." I said, trying to release myself.
"I don't want to lose you, Navya." He said crushing me completely to him holding my waist.
"Don't you see I don't trust you anymore." I said pushing him away.
"But I will make it up for you. I will prove myself to be a better husband for you." he said hugging me tightly and looking at my eyes.
"You are the best husband Suhas but when you think your wife as Kavya. And I don't even want to know how you will be when you think your wife as Navya." I said, which is there in my mind.
"You don't believe me." he mumbled as a statement releasing me.
"I don't and I don't think I can anymore." I said entering the room.
"Just get me a divorce, and it will be best for us. I don't think I will never live a moment without a doubt that whom are you thinking me as." Saying this I closed the door and fell on the floor hugging myself.
For a few days like I said I didn't eat anything. He tried to speak to me and telling me that I need to eat, but I didn't budge at all.
I talked to Mom continuously, and she said she is with my decision but she just wants me to think more clearly and also take care of myself too.
But I thought about it so much and every time I fear that if I stay in this marriage, then he will continue his revenge on them whatever it is. And I also can't stay with him forgetting all this.
"I never thought you were this stubborn Navya." He said entering my room with food after three days.
"I always want very few things in my life Suhas. But when I want them, then I will do anything to get them." I said, opening my eyes slowly to look at him.
"I wish I was one of them." He said sitting beside me.
"You were major one in those things twelve days back." I mumbled closing my eyes.
"Ok! I will give you a divorce. Now get up and have your food." He said after a few minutes making my eyes open instantly.
"What?" I asked him shocked.
"Please don't make me say it again. I said I will give you your divorce." He replied sighing.
I immediately sat up and asked, "Really?" I couldn't help but frown at him.
"I know you can't trust me, but wait for two weeks, then you will see them in your hands. Now you can't stay until then without eating right? So have your food." He said showing the plate.
I nodded and took it from him. I started eating and he just sat there looking at me. I took liquids, these three days, so I am not that weak at all.
What I said is I will not eat anything, but I didn't say anything about drinking right. I thought and stopped myself from saying that to him.
"So how are your three days to stay only on liquids?" he asked after a few minutes.
"You know?" I asked him shocked.
"I know everything about you Navya." He replied, placing his hand on my cheek.
"I wish I too had that ability to know everything about you." I said and continued to eat.
"I too wish that wish." He mumbled and left the room.
It's been another two weeks and like he said I waited, but I didn't get them at all. I waited another week thinking they may need some more time to be processed, but still I didn't get them at all.
I paced from his room to mine and then taking a deep breath I knocked on his door. After a few knocks, he opened the door and looked at me shocked.
It felt like déjà vu but this time I am not holding any plate of food. He opened the door completely and gestured at me to come, but I immediately shook my head.
He sighed and asked, "What is it, Navya?"
"Where are the papers? You said two weeks, but three weeks already finished." I asked him pacing in front of him, and I don't even know why I am doing it.
From one week, I am feeling really anxious and just feeling something weird feeling along with it. I don't even know why, but I am feeling nervous very easily.
"These take time, Navya. I can't do anything about it." he replied, but I still continued to pace.
Then suddenly it felt like everything is shaking and then heard him faintly saying, "Navya! Navya!"
Where is he going far away from me? I thought and closed my eyes as they were getting heavy. I waited for the impact of the floor, but I don't think I get it before completely losing my consciousness.
I opened my eyes slowly but immediately closed when I felt a small light falling on my eyes. Then I felt some wetness all over my face.
I groaned and opened my eyes to see very worried looking Suhas in front of me. I rubbed my face and touched the water droplets in confusion.
"Thank god! You opened your eyes. I thought you will not even now." he said, moving away from my face and laid down beside me.
"What do you mean even now?" I asked him confused.
"You fainted at midnight. I thought you were not taking much rest so you fainted, but now even when it is morning you still didn't open your eyes. So I got worried and woke you up like this." He replied pulling me to him.
I stilled in his arms and looked around. I saw that I am in our room. Our room! I immediately removed his hands saying, "You brought me in this room. Do you really want to torture me?"
"Navya! You fainted in front of this door, and I just brought you here because I was terrified." He replied groaning.
"Ok! I will go now." I said, getting up.
"You are not going anywhere. You stay here and take some rest. I am not listening to any of your words." He said like I really can't say anything to change his decision.
I nodded, but moved away from him and closed my eyes. He sighed again, and I felt him getting up from the bed.
After some time, I heard the shower running and then later the opening of the closet. So he is getting ready.
"Where are you going?" I asked him with my eyes still closed.
"I need to go to an important meeting today. After I return from office, we both will go to the hospital and get your checkup." He replied.
I immediately sat up and looked at him to see that he is already ready with his coat on his hand.
"I am not going anywhere with you Suhas. I am staying here in this room for now so that I will get my strength back, and I can go back to mine." I said in a calm tone.
"But you are not feeling well." He said frowning.
"And you need not to care about me at all. Just see whether the divorce papers are ready or not." I said folding my hands.
"Fine! I will go and check for them again. And you need not to stay here if you don't want to." He shouted and left the room in frustration.
Why is he even frustrated? I thought shrugging and lay down on the bed.
Wait a minute! Something is definitely wrong with me. I am getting angry for one second and getting confused in the next one.
I need to go to the hospital! I decided and rushed to the closet and took one dress from the clothes I left here.
After getting ready, I got downstairs and left the house informing Padma Aunty. I kind of searched some time and reached a hospital about which I heard in the television ads.
It is kind of multi specialty, and I saw only this near to our house, so I went inside stopping the cab. I got myself an appointment and waited for nearly one hour.
Then when it was my turn, I got inside, but after some time of general checkup, I was sent to a gynecologist.
I heard their questions clearly before they sent me here. So is it what am I thinking? But what if it is?
Getting all these questions while waiting for the results, I didn't reach any solution, but finally got to know that I am actually pregnant.
When the doctor started saying all the precautions, I didn't hear her at all, but I just rushed out of the hospital paying the bill.
I am pregnant! I am actually going to be a mother, but I don't know what to do.
I reached the house and didn't say anything to whatever Padma Aunty is asking me. Without looking at anything I reached our room and lay down on the bed.
For now, I don't care what this room is. I don't care what he did or anything. What I just know is I am going to be a mom.
But what about the divorce, I am asking him and, which is in the process? I thought, but decided to think about it after getting up.
I got up when Padma Aunty woke me up to tell me that she is leaving. I nodded and told her that she can leave. She was little reluctant but left the house.
I looked at the clock to see that it is evening and after some time, he will come home. I walked to the window and gazed outside.
I placed the hand on my stomach and felt my lips tremble with the feeling that something is growing there, and that I am going to be a mom.
Oh God! I am going to be a mom, and I don't even know will I be a good mom or not. Can I take care of the baby? Am I capable of it?
More important question is will Suhas be happy to hear this or will he feel bad? I thought and groaned with the headache.
Just yesterday I thought my life would not be more complicated than this. Just until yesterday I continued to question myself do I really want a divorce from him or not, but now I have another big responsibility in front of me.
Actually, it is not a responsibility at all; it is a gift which I am going to have it. But if he doesn't want it, can I take care of this gift to myself?
With all these thoughts in my head started to hurt even more and more. I again looked outside this time to observe the sky clearly so that the headache will reduce a little.
I can't help myself but think everything that happened more than one month back and what is happening for all these days after that day. And top of that, now this... I don't even know how to call it. I am still surprised by the news, and I need to think of my marriage too, which is in the struck mode at present.
Looking at the bright sun, which is not so bright right now hiding itself to create darkness all around totally makes me think of my present situation.
I heard the sound of footsteps entering the room, so I turned around and said, "Hey!"
"Don't start now. You will get your wish soon." He said removing his coat.
"We can't!" I said, looking at him.
"What do you mean? All these days you are asking nothing but divorce. Now they will reach you in a few days for sure. Now why are you saying you can't?" He asked with a completely blank expression.
"I am pregnant!" I mumbled.
"What?" he asked, stepping towards me in shock.
"I.Am.Pregnant!" I said each word with force and then let the darkness consume me.
