It's been a week that they got to know about her pregnancy news which later got confirmed by Dr. D'Souza also...she was a gynecologist and an old friend of Ramya. Anu was almost 2 weeks pregnant...her husband and everyone else in the family had become more protective towards her...Prasanthi and Ruhi literally pulled Anu in a bone crushing hug when they got to know about the "Big news" as they could not wait the little one to arrive fast....

One fine evening...Anu was in their room..talking with Sheila over phone who was giving her some pregnancy related suggestions and Anu was listening to her making a "Bored" face...Sheila sensed that..

Sheila: Tell me what did I ask you to follow...?

Anu (Lost in her thoughts): Huh what?

Sheila: I knew it...this girl didn't register a single word I said...Grrr....(Anu made a face)

Anu: Sheila...please not now na...I promise I will write down the entire thing the day I will meet you...make some plan na...

Sheila: Huh..as if your hubby will let you come with me in this condition...

Anu: Why not...and why will he stop me?

Sheila: Because his "Wife" is a Kid...(And she started laughing loudly)

Anu: Sheilaaa...YOU ARE SO DEAD ..😠

Sheila: Anu I need to go out..have to bring some medicines for Nanna...just ask your hubby and let me know about our plan (Saying this, she cut the call)..

Anu checked the time and frowned that he didn't come back yet...she decided not to call him and teach him a lesson...

Anu (Muttered to herself): It's almost dinner time...and look at him...😡

Bela Aunty called her for dinner...

Anu: Aunty..Tammu hasn't come back na...

Bela Aunty..I think she has and is in her room...

Anu: Alright...I will just check her...

Bela Aunty: Come soon Beta... Baba will be angry if you don't take the food and medicines on time...

That made Anu more angry that he has given all the responsibilities to Bela Aunty and Ramya...what about him? Can't he at least come back on time?😒

Anu (Composing her stern expression to a smile): Yeah Aunty...in 5 minutes...

Anu went to Tamannah's room and knocked...

Anu: Tammu..it's me Bhabhi...

She opened the door and Anu smiled at her..

Anu: Let's go...will have dinner together...

T: I'm not hungry...had pasta outside...(Anu noticed she was shivering slightly)

That's when Anu heard Ramya's voice..calling both of them for dinner...

Anu (With a smile): Tammu I wanted to ask...Can you sit with me for a while...Umm..your bhai hasn't come back and I was wondering...(T didn't let her finish)

T (Almost in tears): Bhabhi will you stay with me in my room tonight...? I need to tell you something...

Anu was little surprised but quickly gave her nod with a smile...

T: Mom?

Anu looked behind to see Ramya waiting for them with her hands on the waist...

Ramya: From when I'm calling you two for dinner?

T: Mom..am not hungry...that's what I was telling to Bhabhi...

Ramya: See I brought your dinner to upstairs so that we can have it together on terrace...

Anu: Am so sorry Ma...Actually he..

Ramya (Pulling her cheeks and with a wink): He has come back..went to take a shower...Now will you come?

------------------------

On the terrace

They all sat together for dinner...Pabsu sat beside Anu...gave her his best smile which she ignored...he tried holding her hand under the table but she swatted it away....

Anu (Only audible to Pabsu and sarcastically):Why don't you stay in the office at night also...No need of coming back home at all...

Pabsu's eyes went to Rana who was looking at them suspiciously...

Pabsu: What?? always have to hear everything...🤐

Rana: See Dad See...He is getting bashing from somewhere else and pouring his frustration on me...like always😑

Sathyaraj (Laughing at them) to Rana: Not many days left, my boy..you too will understand the pros and cons once you get married😉😂

Anu to Ramya: Ma.. I was thinking to stay with Tammu tonight? (Pabsu's face fell down)

Ramya (Looking at Pabsu): Darling I think your husband is not really happy about it...

Anu bit her lip...looked at T who looked nervous..

T to Pabsu: Bhai...actually I asked Bhabhi to stay with me tonight..but it's okay..

Pabsu knew something was definitely wrong with T as she hardly interacted with them now a day...always kept herself locked in her room..He wanted to find out what's bothering his sister...but with office work and his wife's pregnancy...he didn't get much time to focus on it...he noticed her expression...how her face fell down when she thought Anu was not going stay with her...

Pabsu: Tammu...she will stay with you...

T (With a small smile): Thanks Bhai...

Anu looked at her husband who walked towards T and hugged her...

Pabsu to T (Kissing her head): I just want to let you know...we all are here..whenever you need us...(looking at her) right?

T (nodding her head slowly and controlling her tears): Yes Bhai...I will take care of Bhabhi..you don't worry (Pabsu smiled at her)

They all had some fun moments together...but two pair of eyes kept glancing at each other...💕

--------------------------

In T's room

T: Bhabhi am sorry...

Anu (Assuring her): Why are you sorry? Now tell me...what you wanted to share?

T didn't look at her eyes..

Anu: Tammu..

T: Bhabhi first promise me..you won't tell anyone...not even Bhai...

Anu thought for a moment...

Anu: Okay...I won't tell anyone...

T: Bhabhi..that was a mistake...a bigger one...(not able to control her tears anymore) and it's too late now...

Anu was scared now..

Anu (holding her shoulders): Tammu...what is it...(As T started sobbing)

Anu immediately hugged her...started patting her hair...

Anu: Sshhh Tammu...nothing will happen...first stop crying..

T held her tightly...and started getting hiccups...that brought tears in Anu's eyes too...

T: Bha..bhiii....I...am ....

Anu (Wiping her tears and nodding her head with her): Yes Tammu...

T: Pre..g...nant...(As she broke down in Anu's arms)

Anu stood like a statue...didn't know how to react...what to say...she looked at T who was weeping like anything holding her...

Anu (Making T face her): What did you just say?

T (Composing herself a little and looking down): It's true Bhabhi...almost 2 months...I could not kill the baby Bhabhi...I tried (She covered her face with her palms and started crying hard)

Anu took her in her arms...was absolutely in shock...but what mattered to her the most was T and the unborn...

She made T sit on the bed and gave her water...

Anu: Who is he, Tammu?

T(Clutching the glass tightly): I don't know....

It was almost 3.30 in the morning...Anu was wide awake...looked at T who fell asleep few times before...

Anu (Caressing her hair and looking at her pale face): what will we do now, Tammu..

T said she had several night stands ...she was out of control...all were her friends..she could not remember with whom and when...as maximum times she was under the influence of drugs..Anu could not think anything more...got up...she covered T with a duvet..

------------------------

She was surprised to see their room was not locked from inside...he kept it open...she went inside to see her husband was sleeping on his stomach like a baby...she sat beside him and caressed his hair...he shifted his head unknowingly on her lap..

She didn't take any major decision after her wedding as he always stood by her...was there for her throughout...she looked at his innocent face helplessly...What will she do now...Tamannah asked her not to disclose anything to anyone..not even him...but they won't be able to hide it for a long time...pearl from her eyes dropped on his face...he opened his eyes with a jerk...

Pabsu (With sleepy eyes): Kiddo?

She quickly wiped her tears...he sat up...checked the time...

Pabsu: When did you come..?

Anu: I was...I actually...I came to see whether you locked the door...

He was trying to understand what she was blabbering..he came close to her and wiped the sweats from her forehead...

Anu: I should go now and check Tammu...(She was about to get up when he made her sit again)

Pabsu: I will check her..you sleep here...

Anu: Nooo..(He glared at her)

Pabsu: Baby you have a life growing inside you and am sure it needs some sleep...I will check Tammu...

He was about to get up when she hugged him...

Anu: Don't go...(He was surprised but at the same time...well aware of her mood swings) [He put his arms around her]

She tightened her hold on him and felt her eyelids heavy...

Anu: Will you carry me to Tammu's room...?
--------------------------

In T's room,

T was sound asleep. Pabsu placed her beside T when she looked at him with baby eyes...

Pabsu (In a Sshh tone): You want me to stay?

She nodded a "No" but still didn't let him go...He kissed and nudged her nose with his..She released her grip from his shirt..he covered her with blanket...kissed her forehead...

Anu (Placing his hand on her belly): Junior said it will take care of Mommy and asked Daddy to sleep...

Pabsu (Laughing at her): Junior also now knows it's Mommy is another baby...

She didn't smack him like other times and he was a little surprised...

Anu: Now Go... (she turned to T's side)

He turned her towards him and gave her a peck on her lips...

Pabsu: Sleep Kiddo...am here...

Anu (looking into his eyes): No we will be fine...I promise...I will sleep...

Pabsu: Give me a call...if you need anything..(She nodded her head)

He kissed T's head and left...

-----------------------------------------------------

Darlings, I need suggestion as am absolutely clueless..what will Anu do now?😕

Should she let Pabsu know about it but he will be angry......but she won't be able to hide it for a long time...if Pabsu comes to know later that she knew it from before...he will be more furious...😓

I badly need your your help in this...😩 I feel she should inform at least Pabsu...what do you feel?

Do lemme know..❤
