Chapter 19 : Baby in the loop

Something beeped loudly from my side ugh... it was my phone alarm I knew the tone, I had it memorized it never sounded that loud though, I tried to reach it with my hand getting cosy in my pillow.

my warm, stiff and moving pillow?

In response, something fumbled over my face pressing on my forehead with irritation like my forehead had a button and it wasn't taking their command to shut off.

Someone beside me grumbled, "knock it off already!" The voice vibrated underneath me, I opened my eyes or tried to because suddenly it felt like a herculean task with the way my head ached.

Took some minutes to understand where I was and with whom... I lifted my head from a black leather jacket. I was lying on a jacket? Why was it moving ? why was it complaining? Then my eyes travelled up and found Dhruv's sleepy/annoyed face

Oh God! I was literally sleeping on Dhruv. I drew away quickly tripping and on the verge of falling off the bed.

I peeped from my hands covering my face, thinking I just imagined it all.

He opened his eyes then glared at me rubbing his ear he reached over my screaming self and picked my  blaring phone he was going to toss it out of the window when I warned him and snatched it away from him then screamed again, "NO!!!!"

He shot me a frustrated look then slumped down on the bed and covered his ear with the pillow.

I shook his brick body wailing, "tell me what happened? Tell me why are we sleeping together with-" I glanced at ourselves, "our clothes on?"

I shook my head, "I mean....my head why is it aching so much why do I feel so weird what did you do to me?" I held my head and the other hand  held my stomach felt bile, rising and churning in there. I rushed to the bathroom not before kicking his sleeping figure he couldn't look least disinterested and disturbed, clasping my mouth on time I reached the basin where I puked my guts out.

What is happening to me ?

Was I going to die?

Because, it surely felt like I was going to. My head had bumps and my throat felt sandy and parched. I rinsed my mouth then washed my face then looked in the mirror and shrieked finding Dhruv right behind me with glass of water, his blood shot eyes staring at me blankly.

I turned around shifting back keeping my distance from him. I nervously covered my chest, "what did you do to me?"

In reply, he yawned

I was worried and hysterical and not in my right mind and there he was yawning! "I will ask one thing...was it consensual? "

He shook himself, now awake and listened intently to my hysterical assumptions.

"You gotta tell me okay I am not like that type of girl! But you are bad YOU ALL ARE BAD BOYS! Why can't I recall what happened? What if something happened between us... And You you-u took advantage of me!" I accused him.

He scoffed. I would have berated him for that if not, I was far gone holding my head engulfed by fear and irrational thoughts, "I can't be pregnant... I "I turned around feeling nausea and puking like again. These all were symptoms of pregnancy that only I could think of at this stage.

"I am too young" I cried, "I don't know how to take care of babies I love kids but kids don't love me ...I-I- oh god! I am scared of giving birth...I-I" I looked at him he was drinking the water from the glass and watching me with interest having a nervous breakdown.

"This is serious Dhruv! You gotta look serious about it! Oh my god You are planning to dump us like some trash you can't do that... you are responsible for this too what am I saying!? you solely are responsible for it! If I could just chuck out my stomach and throw your way-"

I grimaced when my stomach churned again, "is there really a baby inside?" I asked, losing my marbles.

Dhruv answered taking his own time analysing me looking at my stomach tilting his head, "no it's actually alcohol, three bottles of alcohol and here is" he came forth and tapped my head which felt way too heavy for my shoulders, "M.s Newton's hangover speaking rubbish" he gave me the glass of water with an unrestricted smile playing along his lips. He left saving me from further embarrassment.

I walked out of the bathroom in relief and a massive headache I stifled my surprise when I noticed my friends; Zoya getting up rubbing her eyes she was lying on the floor and as for Ehaan he still slept unconcerned on my desk, he would sure get backache + other aches.

Zoya said groggily "woah, what's with this nasty headache?" I went forward and helped her back on her feet, she swayed.

She peered at me looking surprised
"Serra? what's the time? You didn't leave for your train I thought it was in the morning?"

"What? Oh yes at 8 am-" I turned to check the time.

Dhruv answered over his shoulder already making his way out, "7:30"

My eyes widened, "we can't miss it" I pushed myself to hurry up I quickly grabbed my things and got ready in 15minutes hugged Zoya assured her I will call her once I reached home, rushing off with Dhruv modelling behind me grumping, "hanging out with you Ms. Newton, is so exhausting"

I told him he can freaking go in his own way to that he said he was stuck here because of me so it was my responsibility to get him out.

We managed by getting on the train, I sighed laying against the seat catching my breath.
"Remind me to never drink"

Dhruv stayed standing observing the inside surrounding of the train with a dirty look, "this is congested"

"Sit, down and stop judging" I muttered, rubbing my forehead.

He sat uncertainly, muttering all the while that it happened because of me he would have already left last night why was Ms. Newton so stupid and blah blah I tuned him off punching my head his non stop nagging wasn't helping in my case.

A woman appeared suddenly maneuvering through, while looking anxious she was carrying a baby, "can you please hold him? I need to get my things from the platform," she eyed nervously over her shoulder.

I nodded because she appeared so worried and before I could even say anything she dropped the baby on my lap.

Dhruv eyed me in warning. I ignored him and took the baby in my arms he was sleeping and real tiny so it wasn't even that big of a deal. The moment the lady handed me the child she harried to get her things by taking the opposite route from the door way.

I frowned, holding the baby then shrugged thinking she must have some other work too.

5 minutes later

I awkwardly fidgeted in my seat holding the baby in my lap.

The train moved

10 minutes later

"Dhruv.." I trailed getting a little alarmed now, "don't you think it's been a while since the mother of this kid left?"

Dhruv having a stare down with the old man from across the seat who wasn't putting his foot away perhaps wasn't allowing Dhruv to sprawl and sit comfortably like the way he desired.

I poked his shoulder with my finger, he slowly looked away glaring for the last time at the old man who gave him a toothless grin.

"Go find the mother of this child you know the lady who you were suspicious of ..umm....you know who left to get her things didn't come back and now the train is moving... moving so fast!!!" I yelled getting up.

Dhruv glanced at the window and caught my arm when I stumbled to look out for the lady anxiously.

He huffed,"seriously? Ms. Newton for once give it a rest and stop running into troubles!"

"What do you mean?" I warned him, hissing I was really in a bad mood right now, things could never get right for me and the nasty hangover only fuelled my anger at my stupid life. So he should better stop insulting me otherwise it would be worse for him, for me and for everyone

Dhruv's jaw clenched,"didn't I warn you not to take the baby?"

"If you meant by giving me narrowed eyes which you always do every second at everyone so no you didn't!"

He stood frustration radiating off him profusely well that makes two of us, "this time you are gonna handle alone I am so fucking done with your shit"

"what do you mean exactly?" I gritted my teeth, barely holding myself from clawing at him.

"I mean Ms. Newton, I am sleep, food, car and peace deprived all because of YOU and your trouble attracting magnetic quality wherever you go some or other shit I am subsequently dragged into you know what you should definitely write a book about yourself the way things never stop happening in your life - Ms.Newton and her never ending troubles"

I stood up too, shouting at his face,
"Oh wow... how hypocrite of you! Can you hear yourself out? Maybe it's not me it's you who get us into trouble have you considered that way?" I dug my finger into his chest, " Have you ever thought of writing a book on yourself too, the unluckiest jerk or the arrogant ass!"

He slow clapped stepping back, "marvelous! Just fucking love the way your mind and mouth work part of the reason why I had a crush on you!"

"You jerk you insulting me by calling your crush!" I tried to shove him by one hand and other holding the baby in place . I never held a baby so I don't know about the correct way but I for sure knew the way I held was way too wrong.

Dhruv messed his hair losing his temperament which he always does so nothing really surprising, "get lost!" He hissed.

I shot daggers at him if I didn't have a baby I would have got up and punched him.

"You get lost you fucking get lost get away from me!!" I yelled, kicking his foot losing it.

"fine!" He snapped storming to the opposite way.

I cursed, patting the baby that woke up crying loudly by our shouting and yelling at each other. I felt several eyes on me can't even imagine how this whole violent argument and baby added in the loop scene looked like.

Teen pregnancy gone wrong??

I flushed cooing the baby after giving an apologetic look to the people who gave me annoyed and disgusted glance.

"This is not mine" I told them weakly pacifying the baby but I didn't know how to do that? it only wailed more and more, ten minutes later when I tried everyway, every wrong way to quieted the baby but it only cried more, as if it was still possible. The train was moving fast I don't know where the mother went and was she actually the mother?

What will I do now?

In the morning, I had a nervous breakdown thinking I will have a baby then later on I laughed and called myself silly and here I had a baby crying at the top of his lungs on my lap. I shook it hardly to stop it crying I glared at the baby.

What was happening in my life? how did I land myself in these situation? Situations I could never even imagine. My lips wobbled.

"Shut it!" I scolded the baby when cooing and sweet talks didn't work. He stared at me with puppy eyes he had big green eyes so beautiful but not so when it cried. I smiled nervously, he was silent for a moment then wiggled like a fish out of water crying aloud with mouth wide opened. Ughhh I tore my hair if he didn't quieten I would start crying too..

I clasped my lower lip feeling my eyes filled with tears I looked around helplessly, "Dhruv...." I spoke, lowly.

"Dhruv!!!" I yelled aloud.

"What!" He said back from the adjacent berth.

Surprised, my head turn that way

"I thought you left?" I said craning my neck to see him, he was sat there reading newspaper and that too I squinted my eyes upside down.

He discarded it away quickly, "I thought you didn't need me?"

"Dhruv.." my lips turned down I got up stumbling towards him with the baby. His eyes widened, I cried the headache won't get better and the baby only wailed louder and louder. He huffed getting up and extended his arm my way to stop me coming towards him, I grabbed it and cried on his sleeve snorting and wiping my nose on it.

"What am I gonna do with you?" He sighed.
