*Abhay Pov*

I looked at the closed door in shock for a few minutes until I felt a slap on my shoulder. I turned towards Shruthi and saw her grinning at me.

"Why are you smiling so suddenly? Weren't you crying until now?" I asked her shocked.

"You idiot! Didn't you hear? She is pregnant, which means you are going to be a Dad." she replied scowling.

"She really said that right. I thought I just dreamt it." I said still amazed.

"What are you waiting for? She came all the way here to tell you that news, but you as usual didn't get prepared yourself to hear it deciding it in your brain. Now she must be so hurt." Shruthi said making me realize what I just did.

How stupid can I be? I need to go near her, and we both should celebrate this. With that thought I rushed outside my cabin and towards Raj Industries.

I walked towards the receptionist and asked, "I need to see Usha."

"And you are?" she asked, not looking up.

"I am Abhay Sharma." I replied gasping for air.

She immediately looked up and frowned at me. Then she was looking at something on the system and said, "Sir and Maam already left for the airport few minutes back."

"Which flight?" I asked her after cursing.

"We don't know. But we heard Sir saying that they were really late while leaving." She replied.

I nodded and came outside dialing her number. I don't think she will lift my phone, but she did again surprising me as usual.

"Hello Usha! I am sorry that I stopped you from saying anything. I didn't know I mean I didn't think something important issue must have happened." I said continuously.

"Hey! Let me speak." She said making me stop from saying anything.

"Ok!" I mumbled.

"I am not angry at you. Actually, I don't even know what I am feeling so I can't say anything. But I have so many stupid things flowing through my mind, and I think by spending these few days with distance may make my mind clear. So all I am asking just give me these few day's time, then we will sit down and talk after I return." She said so calmly.

"But..." I started saying but she cut me off and said, "I will listen to every single word without disturbing you, and that's a promise."

After few minutes, I sighed and said, "Ok! But I am waiting for you and please take care of yourself."

"I know and I will." That's all she said before hanging up.

I walked calmly towards my office and entered my cabin to see Shruthi laying her head on the table.

"Hey! Are you fine now?" I asked, sitting in my chair.

"Are you kidding me? First tell me did you talk to her?" she asked and then I told her what happened.

"Maybe she is right. She is pregnant right, so her hormones must be spread here and there. They are not high at this stage, but there is an effect on them for sure on a person's behavior. But forget hormones any girl would have slapped you if she saw us like that." She explained.

"But she didn't." I said, amazed because Shruthi is right any girl would have done that.

"Yeah! Because she trusts you Abhay. She is a gem so just don't lose her and even tell her our truth." she said leaving my cabin.

"Take care, Shruthi." I said before she left.

"I will and I am used to this already." she said closing the door.

Usha! I will be waiting to see you. These few days will be hell for me, and I am sure.

*Usha Pov*

I leaned my head on the flights window and looked outside. Mr.Raj is sitting beside me calmly.

Before getting on the flight, I got Abhay's call. I know that if I don't lift it, then our relation may get a crack, so I did and talked to him.

Even after I know he will never cheat on me, or that he will never lie to me, I am still feeling unsure of their relation.

Maybe I am still insecure with their friendship and their past relation. I was brought out of my thoughts when I felt Sir snapping his fingers in front of my face.

"Don't stress that much. It is not good for the baby." He said smiling, and I smiled back.

"It's just my husband just... nothing." I finally stopped from saying anything because I don't know what to say.

"Don't worry, you will see him at Paris seminar." He said smiling.

"Huh?" I asked him shocked.

"You will see your husband Abhay at the Paris seminar which is just after nine days, so don't worry." He replied grinning.

"How... do... you know, sir?" I asked him stuttering.

"Do you seriously thought I didn't look around me all the time?" he asked laughing.

I didn't laugh and looked at him still in shock. He stopped and started explaining everything how he knows.

First, we both took the same leaves as Abhay didn't enter one meeting happened at the time when we were in Paris.

Then Sir even saw our "Meetings Romance" and then saw us both going to the restaurants many times.

And mainly the bouquets I got with the name "Mr.Whatever" and Sir clearly remember me calling Abhay that at our first meeting.

After he explained everything, I laughed. Yeah! I actually laughed, thinking about how I thought myself as smart that I was hiding this big secret from him.

"So you don't hate me, sir?" I asked him after I stopped my laugh.

"Nope! You are my best buddy how I could hate you." he replied winking.

"So I am your best buddy right then tell me about your girl." I said excitingly.

"Don't make me regret my decision of making you my best buddy." He said threatening me.

"Tell me something or anything." I pleaded with him.

"I know her name and I even know where she lives." He said smiling.

"Wow! Did you meet her?" I asked him even more excited.

"Nope! But I send her the number of bouquets which she sends me until now." he replied smirking.

"Those must me many." I said with my mouth hanging.

"But now you have left her like that and coming to the seminar." I added shaking my head.

"She killed me with all the mystery, until now, so let me have some fun of my own." He said grinning.

"How do you know that she is the girl?" I asked him little confused.

"When you get to know that someone is following you then we will get eyes even all over our face. What I want to say is she never followed me everywhere. She is actually my neighbor, and I saw her looking at me every day like I am puzzle." He replied looking far away.

"But how are you sure?" I asked him again.

"She hates pink shirt for men as per one of her notes. One day, I wore that just for her, and then I saw her frowning at me with disgust." He replied.

"So? That girl must be some other, and she too must have not liked it." I said shrugging.

"No chance! Because I wore that shirt only for five minutes and that too in her eyes. And I even got to know her name which actually starts with "N". If you have another question, then let me tell you no one is there with that letter name to my neighbor hood." He replied and asked the hostess to bring some water.

"Ok! Now I believe that she is the one." I said nodding.

"Thank god! I don't know how is he bearing you, but you are quite a handful." He said and laughed when I punched on his shoulder.

Like that we joked and gossiped and did everything until our flight landed. I am convinced this is going to be amazing.

I don't even know how these nine days passed so quickly. But I enjoyed them so much and mainly shopping with Mr.Raj, I mean Raj which he is making me call him.

In each country, he just starts buying any sky blue thing he sees. He is just a crazy guy when I say this when he says that yeah he is but for her.

Looks like he too, stalked her for one whole week before leaving for this trip because he knows so much about her.

When he bought some other blue gown, I stopped him and asked, "What if she doesn't like western dresses that much?"

He immediately called someone and asked to purchase few Sari's of that color. I shook my head and said, "She will get vexed by this color and then jump to another one."

I threatened him with that and what he said made my eyes go wide.

"Then I will start buying the things in that color." He said shrugging.

I pressed my both hands in front of him and hailed him the whole day wherever we went. Because of which he stopped the shopping of course for that day.

At present, we are shopping in the Paris and the seminar is after a few hours. He took me to a shop and made me buy one beautiful dress for today's event.

As usual, he bought one dress for her. I so want to meet her because she is lucky to have him not because of the things he is buying, but because of the excitement and happiness, he is feeling while doing this.

He left for the venue where the small seminar is held, and then the big party is conducted. I went there alone and waited for everyone.

Then I saw him entering the hall looking as dashing as he always and beside him is Shruthi as usual looking beautiful.

I turned towards the stage so that I can stop my heart from beating too much. And then I tried to peek at him, but he already got into his seat.

The seminar started and ended, but I didn't hear anything with the thoughts of what will happen now.

"Don't worry I noted the seminar, so I will explain after reaching Jaipur." I heard Raj saying from beside me.

"How do you... wait I know. I am your best buddy so you know this." I replied to my own question.

"See, you are learning that too very fast." He said, and I hit him on his shoulder and laughed when we all stood up as it is over.

We all walked across the space where the party is being held and then saw that it is already dark.

I walked along with Raj and met few people here and there. Nonetheless, I suddenly got tired and excused myself.

Raj looked at me worried, but I assured him and walked towards the end of the clearing where a small bench is present.

I sat and looked at the part of the Eiffel tower I can see from here. I started remembering mine and Abhay's moments here in this city and in front of that.

"Hey!" I heard someone saying sitting beside me, and I already know who that is.

"Hey!" I said back.

"So how are you?" he asked and then I turned to look at him.

Now I can see his face more clearly than in the seminar. He didn't shave at all, and I frowned seeing this.

"You don't like, not to shave right then why didn't you?" I asked him rubbing his cheek, which is covered by some facial hair.

"I missed you." he mumbled.

"I missed you too." I said, and we both looked at each other.

"Do you know I am so jealous of Raj?" he said making me look at him confused.

"Why? He is just my boss and now my friend." I said.

"Yeah! But he is perfect too. I tried so much to forget the fact that you thought him as the most handsome man at that time, and I can't really ignore that he is perfect." he explained slowly.

"He is perfect!" I said, and his face fell.

"But he is not perfect for me." I added, and he looked at me confused.

"We see many people in our life who are perfect and imperfect as per our list, we have in our mind about perfections and imperfections. Just because one person is the perfect doesn't mean that he is perfect as a partner to any person too. So Raj is the perfect guy I can ever know which you too accept, but he is not perfect for me." I said explaining everything.

He nodded after a few minutes and said, "You need not resign and my asking you to do that is my stupidity."

I smiled at him and turned towards the Eiffel tower. I looked at it for a few minutes and then said, "Do you remember how we ran near that area because of an ice-cream incident?"

"Yeah! Your face was covered with ice cream." He said laughing, and I laughed along with him.

However, I suddenly started crying and within a second, I was in his arms. I snuggled into his chest and continued crying, but I don't know why I am even crying.

"Shh... why are you crying?" He asked stroking my hair.

"I don't know!" I mumbled and still cried.

After a few minutes, I sniffed and said, "I am jealous of Shruthi."

"What?" he asked me shocked.

"I am so jealous of her. I know she is your best friend whom I should respect completely, but I am insecure." I replied honestly.

"If this is about me sharing our plan with her, then....'" He started saying but I shook my head stopping him.

"I didn't feel bad that you shared but just got shocked. What I felt bad is that you thought my plan is stupid just because she said it as stupid one." I explained my real problem.

"Oh! But I just got feared looking at my parents who were struggling for the first time and said that. I am so sorry Usha. If it feels better, then let me tell you I defended you when she said that it was stupid." He said, and I know he is telling the truth making me smile.

"I know I should accept your relation with her, but it may take time." I said, sniffing and moved back to look at him.

"What do you actually think of us as?" he asked smiling.

"You guys are the best friends of course, but became boyfriend and girlfriend many times." I replied and last words little bitterly.

"Should I feel happy that my wife is jealous?" He asked laughing.

"Here I am trying so hard not to dislike your best friend and thinking of making her as my friend and let's not forget the incident happened few days back. You are so forward to console her for something but were not ready to hear what I want to say." I replied glaring at him.

"Usha! I know I was wrong that day. Like you know that is a very bad habit of mine not to let someone speak if I let my brain to decide something. I thought you are there to talk about the wrong wish I asked you, so I thought of talking about it later at home. And Shruthi was really hurt at that time." He explained calmly.

"Why does she always break down like that, those many times? Do you think I am wrong to wish myself as my husband's first priority than his ex-girlfriend?" I asked him again frustrated, but then thought it would not do any good so I took a few deep breaths.

"I will tell you one secret which I am telling after asking her permission. After hearing this, I am sure you will not feel like that again." He said, and I looked at him curiously and nodded.

"She is like my guy best friend." He said scratching his neck.

"So?" I asked him confused.

"You know... we both get attracted to the same gender." He said and closed his eyes.

It took me one whole minute to understand what is he saying, and then I slowly mumbled "She is Lesbian."

"Yeah! I know that for so many years. But she didn't come out of the closet. We both just acted like we are in a relation whenever she wants if someone gets doubt on her. Her family is orthodox and they will not accept this, so she is very terrified when it comes to this matter. She gets to have some relations, but each person wants her to come out of the closet which she can't do as she loves her family so much." He said and then sighed

"You mean to say I just got worried for all these months for nothing." I mumbled and just looked at him shocked.

"Yeah! I never thought that you would feel like this about her. I mean she is always like her real in my mind right, so I just act like that only even though those words don't come out of my mouth. So I am sorry for giving you doubts and stress for all these months." He said and I just looked at him.

"Is she ok for me to know?" I asked him my next doubt.

He nodded and then said, "Whenever she gets breakup from her relation, she just goes into depression. So one person needs to be there for her as, she one time tried to kill herself." I gasped hearing this.

"When Dad gets to know that she tried this upon herself, he got hurt as he thinks her as his daughter and stopped talking to her so that she will not do it again at least for his sake. My parents know about her completely." He said and then looked at me.

"Say something Usha. You are not angry with me right." He said as I didn't say anything.

"Today onwards we will sit down and talk even if we get any small thing as a doubt or if anything hurts us." I said sternly, and he nodded.

"We need to act little more maturely for our baby sake and also have fun sometimes otherwise I am sure we both will get bored. And..." I couldn't finish my sentence as he pressed his finger on my lips.

"Can I kiss you?" he asked looking at me.

"Last time I checked my husband didn't need any permission." I replied, and he crashed his lips on mine.

I kissed him back telling him how much I missed him, and he did the same. When he released me, I looked at him and said, "Take me somewhere away from here."

He nodded and lifted me into his arms and walked towards the exit, and we passed few guests.

"What about Raj?" he suddenly asked stopping in tracks.

"I will just message him that I am with you." I replied.

"What?" he asked, shocked.

"It's a long story, and I will tell you later." I replied and he nodded, walking us towards the hotel across the venue where I am living, and I am sure he is also as all the guests are living there.

We reached my room as I asked him to, and he opened the door. After we entered he closed it and laid both of us on the bed switching off the light.

"I love you so much Usha and our baby too." He said, kissing my forehead and placed a hand on my stomach.

"I too love you Abhay and our baby loves you too." I said holding his hand on my stomach.

"How do you know?" he asked confused.

"I just know." I replied, smiling at him and kissed him.
