Chapter 80 — The Happiness

Aradhya's POV 

I was waiting for him, he came late, later than I expected. Dii was scolding him, but his eyes met with mine.

I found something unique in his eyes. He gave me an apologetic smile. I returned. We had lunch together, but Vyom and Vihan didn't leave us alone, so we couldn't talk. I wanted to ask him so many things but I had to skip.

In the evening, he caged me in his arms, I giggled, "What?"

"Want to go to meet your father?" He asked looking into my eyes, I bobbed thoroughly.

"Let's go, " He pecked on my forehead.

****

"Mom, " I hugged her from her back, she giggled.

"Hey, you are here, I missed you, " She pecked on my cheek.

"Arghh, this kitchen, mom… I can't abide, this smell will cause me to throw up, " I grumbled covering my nostrils.

"Okay, beta, go and sit with your Dad and Samarth, I'll be there. I have almost done, " She retorted with a smile.

"Mom, are you smiling? You should feel pity for your daughter that she is not feeling well, " I muttered and strode outside of the kitchen, she was laughing loudly.

"I'm happy because it's because of good news, " She replied loudly.

Samantha is also smiling, I blushed looking at him. We spent a good time at mom's home. After dinner, I and mom were talking with each other, something was different in her eyes, just like Samarth. Something is unique, that makes them delighted. I wouldn't ask or should ask, a little bit confused.

Finally, I asked, "Mom, what happened to you? I mean you are looking so happy."

She gave her a genuine smile and replied, "Because your father is good now, and the most precious is that you are pregnant, I was waiting for this news for years. I was afraid that the same would not happen to you, Which was happened to me."

"Mom, what do you mean?" I got confused.

"We had you after so many years, I faced a lot of difficulties, so I was tensed about you. Now you are pregnant so I'm at the ninth cloud, " Her eyes filled with tears.

"And I'm glad that Samarth is my son in law, " She glimpsed delightfully.

It isn't strange, we are not newly wedded, and it was not like that I ain't conceiving, we planned pregnancy after completing my education.

She knows Samarth is the best, he loves me, cares for me, then why is she glad for that today? I shrugged at her confusingly.

I wish to stay here but there is no chance he would leave me here, so I skipped the idea. While returning, I asked him, "Samarth, what happened? Mom was behaving weird."

"I think she explained well," He retorted.

"And about you?" I asked back.

He filled his lungs breathing deeply, "You need to know so many things, first I thought, I'll not let you know ever, but you have all right to know about it."

"Sameer, Soham and Chachu were shot by our guards, I also created them, not telling an untruth. And Anaya also passed away, Umm, she was killed by her husband, " He informed taking my breath away. My lips parted with a wide gap hearing him.

"Why? What about Mom and Dad? They don't know about it, didn't you inform them? How will mom react? Let's go back, " I screamed. MY heart started racing, it's pounding, tears slid over my cheeks.

"They knew about it, " He stopped the car beside the road.

"What? How could they stay silent and normal, when their daughter passed away? How could he kill her?" I shouted with anger and pain, all kinds of feelings were enacting through my spine.

"Ssshhh, " He cupped my face.

"She has lost everything, she was not a good sister, not a good daughter, not a good wife. Mom and Dad hate her, they are fed up with her act, so it didn't affect them. Her husband was ready to accept her, but she fought with him and he killed her in the hospital. Aman told me that she was still wanting to be the owner of the Arora group and wished to kill you. Her husband was unable to tolerate her betrayal, and their fighting causes her death, " He elucidated shortly.

"He must be punished for what he did?" I cried out, "He can not kill someone like this."

"Aradhya, everything is finished. There was nobody to see her face, " He pecked on my forehead wiping off my tears.

"Let's go, we should go there, at least she needs to…" I was pleading to go there and he cut me off.

"We are not going there, " He frowned.

"Why? How could you treat her with so much cruelty? How could mom and Dad behave like this? They didn't have any grief of losing their daughter, why?" I cried leaning my head on his shoulder.

"Aradhya, what I told you, it was all, in short, the matter is bigger than your thoughts, " He blabbered.

"Samarth, at least…" I stopped seeing his angry face.

"What should be the reason? Why do Mom and Dad have not any pain of losing her?" My mind raised a question.

"What is the matter Samarth?" I stopped crying and looked into his eyes.

There was a pain in his eyes, he was happy until we left the Arora mansion, then what happened to him? 

"Are you steering me crazy? Something is wrong, but what?" I perplexed at him.

"Aradhya, you know that Sameer and Chachu were sheltered by her. She was helping them and blackmailing Dad for money, " He retorted.

"Samarth, Sameer was sending me flowers, right? I was in shock.

" Yes, and they were helped by Anaya. Everything happened in our life, there was she behind everything," He informed.

"But it can't be the reason to hate her, under the beneath, they and we can not hate her after her death, what is the reason Samarth? Are you hiding something bigger?" My eyes became wide with a knickknack. I was striving to hear something heartbreaking for me. But the thing was out of my thinking.

"Aradhya, when you were admitted in the hospital and the doctor told you that you and Dadi had food poisoning. It was a lie, " He sighed.

"What is the truth?" I scribbled.

"They poisoned you and Dadi intentionally, " His eyes filled with grief and tears.

"It's ok, but for that only, mom and Dad may not hate her this indeed, " I frowned.

"Of course, I hate her, she created so many misbehaving and the worst to me, but I can't hate her when she is dead, " I bewildered at him.

"Aradhya, I'm sorry, I couldn't save and also hid this from you, " He almost cried, but why?

"Samarth, you are puzzling me, say clearly, what happened exactly, " I frowned, my heart was bouncing like thunderstorms, I was concentrating on his teary eyes and scary face.

"Samarth..., " I whined precipitously, I cupped his face with the expectation.

"You were pregnant at that time, two weeks pregnant, and we lost our first baby, " He stressed his words.

For a second, I was frozen than I shrugged and shook, I nodded, “Is it any kind of joke? Say, it’s not true,” I screamed.

"Unfortunately, it's true, " He substantiated.

I covered my mouth, I was waiting for this good news, and how could they do such a crime?

I was crying like a crazy, he was consoling me, but my heart was ready to explode with the thunder of grief. 

After some time, I asked, "Did they do intensely?"

"They didn't. Nobody knew about it. I came to know when you were admitted to the hospital. The doctor informed me about it, but I couldn't dare to inform you, " He said heavily.

My whole body became numb, like a lifeless doll. I caressed my womb, it was supposed to be there, he or she, part of me, part of us, the first one of our love, how and why?

"I'm sorry, " He pulled me in his embrace.

"Samarth, I'm sorry, I would be careful at that time, it was two weeks, I was idiot, I couldn't feel a new life inside me, there was no mistake done by you, " I cried hugging him.

"You tolerate this pain alone, why didn't you tell me? At least, we should share our pain, but you always do this, only happiness is shared and sorrows are always kept for you by you, don't do this again, otherwise, I won't forgive you, " I scolded him all cryingly.

"I'm not a good father, I couldn't save our baby, " The tears slid over his cheeks.

"No, " I screamed. We don't know how much time passed there. I asked him to drive home, Dadi and Dii must be waiting for us.

We returned at midnight. I never spend my night without him, he never leaves me alone at any place. I was with him on his business trips. If he goes out, I'm with him.

He manages everything, How we love like crazy ... I was glazing on him, "I realized I was thinking of him, and I began to wonder how long you'd been on my mind. Then it occurred to me, Since I met you, you've never left."

I don't know when I dozed off in his embrace. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was sleeping on the comfy king-sized mattress, I flattered my eyes, again struggled to open them. My ears caught something new sound, I concentrated with closed eyes. That are sea-waves. I unshuttered my eyes with a single blink. I glanced over beside me, he was not there. I hopped out of the bed, without observing the concealing area, I paced towards the hallway.

"Woww, " A gasp eluded.

I want to see him, Before I swerved back to find him, I'm in his cage. Abruptly, the smile covers my face. His breathing nuzzled my neck, I can feel his heartbeats.

"How and when? I mean when we came here?" I asked.

He shrugged as he doesn't know. Lier, I pouted.

"Today morning, you were sleeping like a brown brat, when you were in a deep sleep, I carried you in my arms, then we went to the airport, then by our private jet, we landed here your most liked pace, our private island, " He elucidated.

"Stop calling me a brown brat, " I pouted folding my hands near my chest.

 "Look at the clock, my sleepy brat, " he saw me his band. 

My eyes enlarged with a shock, " it's quarter to one in the noon ??"

"Yes, now get fresh, we should have brunch, " He pecked on my forehead.

"Why didn't you wake me up? I don't comprehend why I sleep so long nowadays, " I shrugged as I couldn't get any conclusions.

After half an hour, we were sitting on the chair beneath the hut, which is situated in the garden, the sea waves' sounds are escorting us. So many new flowers were planted and they flourish. I was gazing around us, we came many times here, but whenever I came, he changed so many things, and the garden area was always unique.

"Why are we here?" I asked feeding him first bite.

"To celebrate our happiness, to spend good time with the mother of my baby, to lovely baby and my baby, " He retorted feeding me. I blushed.

"Samarth, it is so tremendous feelings. I feel like we have wasted five years of our life, we should plan earlier. I can't describe the happiness of having a baby, the lain of misplacing one is not less but the pleasure of sense a new life inside me, is like a…" I said in a single breath but I do have words to narrate the delight.

"I feel like that, " His fingers are rubbing my cheek with devotion. There was sincerity in his eyes. Our eyes were locked. 

After lunch, we stride in the garden together, my gaze fell on the trunk of the tree. Cardboard was dangling on it, "When a baby is born, a life of endless possibilities lays ahead."

My lips parted, I glanced opposite of that tree, "The funny thing about pregnancy is that I'm the creater of not only a child but also a mother. I love you, my baby and soon to be Mumma of my baby."

I strode ahead rapidly, another board, " Not every day of pregnancy is easy, but every day brings me closer to you. I'm always with you, every second of this nine months."

"Samarth…" I glanced at him with teary eyes.

Every small and big tree are dangling boards with different quotes.

 "I'm waiting for the day when our family will be bigger by two feet, and I'll make each and every moment special for you, I love you, " He knelt down and pecked on my flat belly. Goosebumps erupted in my stomach.

"I love you too, my baby's Daddy, " Happy tears rolling over cheeks.
