I had this chapter written for about 2 months noe as I waiting for the previous chapter to reach 160 votes but people don't want to vote. And I am just updating for those who have voted. It is honestly disappointing because I will be honest with you guys it takes me a week to write a chapter because I am not motivated to continue this book it doesn't interest me anymore. I have a new book called "You are our light" and i have so many chapters handwritten waiting to be typed out but I want to end this book to continue with the other. So I have to constantly think to what i want to show next. I know I am ranting at the moment but not even half of my followers vote it is really sad because although this is my hobby you as readers get to read this for free and only votes and comments keeps us as writers going seeing how much people are enjoying the book. So anyway let us get previous chapters to 160+ votes and this one too. Love you guys. Let us get on with the chapter shall we.

Chapter goal: 160+ votes.

Hours later...

Lavanya's POV...

I wake up from my slumber only to see the empty space that is next to me thinking Arnavji is in his home office due to the amount of work he has. I go to the bathroom and have a shower to start of my day. After showering I went downstairs to kitchen to make breakfast. I cut up various types of fruit and place them on a platter, made pancakes, put coffee and tea to brew and finally place them all on tge table. I walk towards Arnavji's home office knocking on the door twice with no answer I enter only to see it empty. I look in our ensuite bathroom and empty. "Huh... he must be with that Khushi." I say in my mind. Unknowingly my envy for her grew day by day and I know it is not her fault but mine. I knew the consequences of everything but my heart had a mind of its own. I check Khushi's room but it was empty, I went outside to the garden and no in sight. I go back inside and place the food in the food warmer draw. "Where haven't I checked yet? I checked the home office, Khushi's room, our room, the garden... Where... wait La you did not check the TV Room." I think to myself(A.N. what a wonderful world... ok sorry back to the story.) So I rush towards the TV Room, when I finally reach. Him and Khushi snuggling together on the lounger I stand there staring at them, the muscles in my body begin to tense up. I am about to storm in there and break them apart until I see Khushi walking past me with her hand against her mouth and rushing out of the room completely ignoring me.

"Who the hell does she think she is." I mutter loudly.

As I am about to stop her from leaving Arnavji speaks to me "Leave her alone for now speak to her when she comes back okay."

"Why should I wait. You are constantly taking her side. Did not just witness her ignoring me." I respond.

"Lavanya don't make a mountain out of a molehill..." Arnavji tries to explain but I ignore it and call out to Khushi who was rushing to the end of the hallway only for her to ignore me again.

"That bit*h thinks that she is above me just because she is pregnant." I say letting out my inner thoughts.

"LAVANYA!" I flinch towards the owner of the voice.

"Ar... Arnavji I..." I stutter in explaining myself.

"I understand your frustration Lavanya but keep your words in check. I am letting this go only because Khushi did not hear anything and I really don't want to get upset with you. I know it is hard for you Lavanya but don't say things that you will regret in the future. She is carrying our baby remember that."

"I am sorry but I didn't mean it like that Arnavji. I just..." say I know why I am acting like this but I also don't want to act like this. But it was my heart talking not my mind.

I look and see Khushi walking back This time with a smile on her face.

"Sorry La I could not greet you earlier I really needed to use the bathroom I was feeling nauseous." She apologises.

"Yeah it is okay. Breakfast is ready I came to call you two." I say looking at both of them and shooting Arnavji with the an apologetic look to which he nods off indicating that it is okay.

Khushi's POV...

I stirred on my sleep due to someone brushing strands of hair away from my face. I slowly open my eyes trying to adjust to the sudden brightness to see who disturbed me. I look up to see Arnavji looking down at me with a smile on his face.
"Good morning beautiful ." Arnavji greets me and pecks my forehead.
"Good morning." I greet him back and I notice one of his hands resting on the small of my back and the other on my cheek. While his arms wrapped my arm around my waist. I snuggle closer until suddenly I rush out of the room holding my right hand on my mouth as the morning sickness was acting up. Not noticing the other person standing by the door.

After I was done emptying the contents of my stomach I exit the bathroom only to see an apologetic Lavanya and an irritated Arnavji. I walk towards them both "Sorry La I could not greet you earlier I really needed to use the bathroom I was feeling nauseous." I apologise to Lavanya.

"Yeah it is okay. Breakfast is ready I came to call you two." I say looking at both of them and I notice Lavanya shooting Arnavji with the an apologetic look to which he nods off indicating that it is okay.

We walk off in the direction of the dining room. Lavanya takes out the food from the food warmer draw and sets it down the table. While I go to pour out Arnavji's coffee in a mug and two cup of tea for Lavanya and I. Placing them on a tray and walking out of the kitchen I place them on the table in front of our seats.

Once we dig in to the wonderful breakfast I thank Lavanya for making such a lovely breakfast.

I then hear Arnavji clearing his throat to speak.

"umm... Khushi yesterday I had an important meeting and it looks like I will have to go to India, it will not be for long probably 2 to 3 weeks there is some sort of issue with the new collection and the textile department had caught on fire. So I have to be there to handle the insurance and take some of the textile from here and the Dubai branch back to India."

"This is terribly. When are we expected to leave." Respond to him in shock.

"Wait Khushi you don't have to come with. I know you might not feel happy returning to India." He explains with a sense of worry.

"It is okay Arnavji. We can all go back for some time till you sort out all the issues and comeback to Switzerland. So when do we leave?" I ask.

"later this week or early next week. It is up to you. Your schedule is alway full so we will have to work around you. We will just follow what you say." Lavanya adds.

"Oh... okay I will send a message to my secretary to check my schedule and I will let you know. "

"Alright." Arnavji agrees.

With little conversation in between breakfast is now over and we all go our seperate ways. Arnavji needs to be in a meeting, I have to get ready for work and Lavanya went to help Arnavji.

Lavanya's POV...
As breakfast was over and I pass Arnavji everything he needs like his briefcase his laptop bag and he then left. Khushi also had to go to her office  so she also leaves. Once they both are gone I go up to my and Arnavji's shared room and sit on the stool that is in front of the easel that is placed in front of the ceiling to floor glass window. I pick my paint palate and the brush I want to use and i begin painting my feeling on to the canvas in sight. All I think about is how my life changed over the past year...

I was diagnosed with an early stage ovarian cancer 1 year ago just before I found out I was infertile. I remember pleading with the gynecologist and oncologist to not reveal that i had cancer to Arnavji. 

I told the gyncologist to just say that I was infertile. This is the reason why I wanted Arnav and Khushi to get married. The only other person who knew of this was Anjali di. Anjali Di helped me so much during that time always supported me and made sure I followed the right diet. Then the  doctors predicted for me to only live a maximum of 6 months if the cancerous tumours were multiplying but just 1 month after I  marked my 6 month that the doctor predicted I  visited the doctor and they told me that the medication and radiotherapy treatment I got was a success and that she was cancer free. And was now in remission I  was ecstatic that meant I could see my my child grew up and finally Arnavji and I was going to have a family of our own. 

However my happiness was short lived as after days after i found out that I was cancer free Khushi lost the baby and I found out that my parents were the cause of it and as soon as possible we moved to Switzerland. Khushi was depressed but not for long which I am thankful for. We then found out that Khushi could not get pregnant through IVF because her body was reject the artificial method of insemination. To which she became even more depressed and she was super stubborn. But it was understandably since she carried the baby in her womb for 7 months. She was a mother after all. So Arnavji told her that they would have to marry first before the try for a baby. To which I was not to happy about but I suggested it firs and also they agreed to get a divorce once the baby did not require nursing anymore. 

Then Arnavji and Khushi got married in the same hall as Zoya and Adi and after a week of marriage Arnavji was always with me not giving Khushi any attention I loved the attention but I felt bad for Khushi. But after Khushi told us how she felt Arnavji and her consummated and i still remember that night and how is rolled up in a blanket burrito and crying silently in my cold bed. We visited Khushi's gyncologist here in Switzerland 1 month later and realised Khushi had through that trauma that i was not producing enough oestrogen to develop her follicle. So we just focused on her health. Arnavji even helped Khushi to set up a law firm here in Switzerland. And now look back to what has occurred in the span of 2 days. I noticed I was getting extremely painful cramps and i did not have an appetite. So I visited a doctor and i found out that i had ovarian cancer again and the tumours  were spreading quiet fast and that it can't be cured but only prolonged but taking medication and receiving radiotherapy treatment. That same evening we also received good news that Khushi was pregnant again. But all I want to do is spend time with my husband whom I haven't yet told and all he wants to spend all his time with the mother of his child not that is was wrong he had every right to be with her. But i also had every right to be with him. 

Today was the  jealousy speaking when i saw Arnavji and Khushi in the morning. And let's be honest you can see that Arnavji loves Khushi and vice versa. I am not that dumb to not realise it.........

To be continued...
