I hope all my South African readers especially the ones living in Gauteng and Kwa-zulu Natal in the areas that were mostly effected my the recent occurrences in the country are safe and sound. This is also one of the reasons why I updated late. I was having a hard time mentally as I was scared for my life and I hardly had any sleep for over a week I maybe had 15 hours of sleep and my mum could not come home for 4 days she had to go stay with my Nani. I was literally on a verge of a mental break down. But any way things are slowing coming back to normal and starting to feel a little bit more safer than I felt a few days ago. Hope you all understand and forgive for the late update.

Now let us get to the update shall we...

Arnav's POV...

I brought Khushi's food with me as I walk out of her room closing the bedroom door behind me. Walking closer to the dining room I hear Lavanya call out to me.

Lavanya:"Arnavji come sit down let us eat."

"Huh... Oh okay. Yeah let's eat." I say as I was broken from my train of thought. I walk to my seat next to her and place Khushi's plate on the table.

"Before we start eating cover this plate up and leave it here for Khushi if she wakes up in the middle of the night."

Lavanya:"I will do it after we eat."

"Do you not understand what I meant by before we eat. Lavanya it is not nice to cover the after we eat it will look like we are giving her leftovers to eat and..."

Lavanya:"How will it be leftovers if I already dished the food out for her. It is also fresh food." Sounding a bit irritated.

"Okay leave it Lavanya don't worry about it. " I really don't understand what her issue is if she does not want to do it then just me i can do it myself.

I wake up from my seat to grab the cling film from the kitchen to wrap up the food.

Lavanya:"Where are you going Arnavji?"

"To grab the cling film from the kitchen."

Lavanya scoffs behind me to which ignore.

I walk back to the table and wrap the food.

Lavanya:"You can't be serious Arnavji. I said I would do it after we eat."

"And I said do it now. "

Lavanya:"Gosh... I cooked fresh food for us to eat I was not giving her leftovers!"

"Lavanya can't you talk quietly you will wake up Khushi."

Lavanya:"Are you serious. You are telling me to talk quietly for her."

"She is sleeping Lavanya."

Lavanya:"Oh..."

"And for covering up the food, I did not finish what I was saying. I don't want any germs or bacteria going onto the food. So please try to understand. She is pregnant Lavanya so we have to be more careful about her health now."

Lavanya:"You are right Arnavji sorry about not trying to understand. "

"It is okay Lavanya but try to think about Khushi because she is the one who is sacrificing a lot for us while we are not." I told her.

End of Arnav's POV...

Lavanya's POV...

"He will always care for Khushi, protect her, fight for her. I don't know if I should be happy about this fact or jealous that my husband fought with for another women. But knowing the circumstances we are in I will just have to endure it."

After I dish out the food for Arnavji and I we ate in silence. With only a few words spoken.

"Arnavji how was the meeting?"

Arnavji:"It was fine but we will have to go back to India soon."

"Ahh... why we have Citizenship in Switzerland. "

Arnavji:"Yeah I know that, 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 Dubai branch back to India."

"That is bad, did you inform Khushi yet."

Arnavji:"I was going to when I went to give her the plate of food but she was asleep. I will tell her in the morning."

"Okay should I tell her."

Arnavji:"No I will tell her since you both had an argument with each other today."

"Alright. So when do we have to leave?"

Arnavji:"later this week or early next week. It is up to Khushi. Her schedule is alway full so we will have to work around her. I don't want to force her into going back to India so we will just follow what Khushi says."

"Everything is about Khushi. Arnavji is like obsessed with her. What does she have that i don't; what makes her so special. La stop being jealous it won't take you any where just remember what you are going through. Just tolerate it for a couple more months." I say in my mind.

Arnavji finishes up the remaining of his food on his plate and wakes up from his seat and walks to the kitchen and leaves his plate there and walks back to the dining room and washes his hand in the sink there. I watch him walk towards Khushi's room again and this caused envy to ignite in every single cell of my body. What was the need to go into her room again. I needed to say something.

"Arnavji why are you going there again Khushi is sleeping."

Arnavji:"I know, I think that she would feel better if I stay with her tonight. She just found out she is pregnant and I want to give her reassurance about her security with us."

"Arnavji what if she does not want it. Also it is my week for you to stay with me and as you said she is pregnant now so what is the need for you to go there now." I say and i made sure that my annoyance came through.

Arnavji:"Lavanya is it not cruel to just forget about her now that she is pregnant. She is carrying my baby Lavanya not someone else's. What if she wants something. But i think you don't understand. But if you insist fine. Let us go to sleep." He says and walks upstairs to our room.

I agree it is cruel of me to not want him with her after we found out she is pregnant but van you blame he is my husband. I love him. He was mine before he became her's. How can I not be selfish. Yes i know Khushi is sacrificing but I am too. But it was my decision yet I can't seem to envy her day by day.

I wash the dishes and head to mine and Arnavji's shared bedroom seeing that he is fast asleep I change into my night wear and sleep...

At 12 am:

Khushi's POV...

Me:"May i help you bhaiya?"

:"Oh you can definitely help us." They move closer to me entering my house.
One of them grabbed my dupatta and throw it on the floor. And tore the jacket of my anarkali and said:"Why don't you gave us some of what you gave Lavanya's Husband. "

I started crying and was now very scared:"Wh... at... what d...o you mean."

:"You definitely know what i mean. But i still will tell you... the same stuff you gave ASR that got you pregnant. "

Me:"I think you all are
mis...taken."

:"Oh i am not darling." He grabbed me face to forcefully kiss me and I pushed him.

I screamed:"HELP SOMEONE ANYONE HELP ME PLEASE.!"

"You F**king Sl*t." Another man said as he slapped me and pushed me on the floor "how many homes did you break? How many men did you sleep and got pregnant with their children? Homewrecking bit*h." he continued as he continuously punched and kicked my stomach and he and his gang then left.

"Who knew we had a wh*re in our community." They snicker as they walk out of the house.

"Hey Devi maiya mere bacha ko raksha karo." I mutter over and over again in my sleep. Until I jerk up. I wrap my arms around my abdomen tighter in an attempt to protect my baby. Clenching my abdomen tighter and tighter each time I repeat my words from earlier "Hey Devi maiya mere bacha ko raksha karo. " in a dazed state.

Once fully awake I know that I could not sleep again and realised I was soaked in perspiration. I also know that I am very hungry so i woke up and put my bedroom and bathroom lights on and went to the bathroom to have a shower to get rid of the layer of perspiration on my body.

After I finished taking a shower and changed into a new set of comfy pajamas i go out to the dining seeing food wrapped in cling film, I remove the wrapping and place the plate in the microwave.

After the food was hot I placed a hot cup of tea and the plate of hot fot and some cutlery on a tray and make my way to the cinema room to watch Netflix. Once I entered there was a snack station by the entrance with a huge popcorn machine that I needed to try tomorrow and a fully stocked drinks station for either choice Hot or cold. I grab alot of snacks that i was craving and sit upright on the L-shaped lounger and began my meal while enjoying this new show that I watching...

  End of Khushi's POV...

Arnav's POV...

I wake up from my deep slumber because my instincts were telling to check up on Khushi. It was around  4 am when I check my cell phone. So I put my slippers on and walk down to Khushi's room but I halt my steps noticing the dark cinema Room being light up with flickering lights which indicated that the TV was on I walk into room expecting to see Khushi awake watching tv but to my surprise she was asleep. I see a tray kept on the side table with her plate kept on it with cutlery and a mug. Around were Khushi was sleeping were wrappers of the different snacks she was eating. On top of her was a packet of Chips with her hand still in the packet. I chuckled lightly at the sight. I walk back to the entrance of the room to grab some wipe from the drawer. I walk back to Khushi gently taking her hand of the packet and very lightly wiping her fingers clean and the the sides of her mouth. Closing the newly opened packet of Chips with a clip and placing it on the table in the middle and picking the the wrappers from around Khushi trying to make the least noise possible. After picking each wrapper up i put them in the bin that was placed in by the snack station by the entrance of the room. I wash my hand dry them and grab a comfy blanket from the closet just out side the room and walk back to Khushi and place the blanket on her and switch the tv off before i slip into the same blanket next to her on the same couch gently pulling her closer while making sure she was comfortable after which I placed a peck on her forehead. I rested my chin on hers and wrapped my arm around her tiny waist which was the last thing I did before falling into a peaceful slumber...

Cinema Room (Just imagine a much bigger tv or even a projector set up.)

To be continued...

So i hope you all enjoy it because this chapter was ready a week ago and wattpad was deleting it all the time and i had to constantly be rewriting this chapter. Wattpad glitches is a never ending story. I rewrote the last past with Arnav and Khushi originally it was going to be a scene with Arnav and Khushi chatting but I thought this was way better I hope you all like this scene I thought it was so cute.
Tell me your thoughts in the comment section I love reading all your comments even if it is to rant about certain characters. Also I constantly get comments about Not wanting Khushi to leave the baby and wanting Lavanya to divorce Arnav but there is a storyline in which I would like to follow and keep you all interested and have you all to make up theories in your head. But if i simply say what is going to happen then the is no build up of anticipation that i want from my readers hope you all understand.

Chapter goal: 160+ votes
