Arpana and Arjun were finally in Bangalore now ... at home ... enjoying this phase of their lives very peacefully with content hearts. 
Days were going in a blur, Arpana had a good seven month baby bump now. Arpana was undergoing everything a 7 months pregnant lady would be going through but more than Arpana it was Arjun who was acting as if he was the pregnant. As the days went on Arjun's pregnancy symptoms only got worse.

Arpana's monthly check up date was due today, like every month Dr Samira did Arpana's routine checkup today as well. Once they were done Dr Samira informed Arpana and Arjun that everything was perfect, she then prescribed Arpana some vitamin tablets.

"Oh my God the more its getting closer to your due date the more scarier it is becoming" Arjun said rubbing his palms together as they were coming out of the hospital.
Arpana just rolled her eyes, she's been hearing this like a mantra for the past few months. She just didn't understand why Arjun was getting this scared for.

"What  are you rolling your eyes for ?" Arjun asked Arpana irritatingly. "Because your acting as if your the pregnant one when it is me" Arpana replied.
"You won't understand Arpana, you need to be in my place then you'll understand my worry and concerns" Arjun said.

"No I don't understand Arjun, I don't understand why you are buying a dozen pregnancy books every week, not letting me shower alone or do  simple activities peacefully" Arpana complained to her husband.

"OK, so the pregnancy books are very important because it's our first time becoming parents, so it's important to know how to be a good mummy and daddy. What to eat during each stage of your pregnancy and what to do and not to do etc. Next of all, I'm helping you to shower because what if you fall when doing it alone.  And finally by simple activities I know you are reffering to your daily exercises, if I don't watch over you when your doing it then I very well know that you'll skip it because your lazy" Arjun explained just for Arpana to roll her eyes again at Arjun annoyingly.

Today, on the way back from the hospital Arjun decided to treat Arpana as she did not seem to be a good mood due to their conversation earlier on.
"Why did you stop the car here?" Arpana asked "for us to have food from here" Arjun replied.

"I want Pani Puri " Arpana exclaimed.

"Fine get out of the car then" Arjun said

"Nope I don't want anything from here, I want get it from where they sell the street foods !" Arpana winged like a child.

"Arpana its not hygienic and your pregnant now ! We aren't eating any bloody street food now !" Arjun said as if he was scolding her.

"No no noo !!" Arpana kept on winging. Arpana very well knew that she can get her own way with Arjun if she cried a little so she started her fake cry.
"Oh come on Arpana I know very well that your being a drama queen now. I'll buy you one but this is one of" Arjun said. Suddenly a wide grin appeared on Arpana's face.

Soon Arjun bought Arpana pani puri. Arjun watched Arpana eat the pani puri amusingly as he gently placed his hands on Arpana's stomach and caressed their child. "Please don't learn your muma's habits" Arjun told the baby chuckling. "Don't worry Arjun, she'll take over me and I'm sure she'll do you heading just the way her mum does it" Arpana laughed whilst caressing her bump.
"Have you fixed it then that it's going to be a girl ?" Arjun asked her.
"I will love the child whether its a girl or a boy Arjun but my hearts telling me Arjun that its going to be a girl" Arpana said.
"Ahh hopefully it'll be" Arjun replied as he moved a strand of hair that was falling on her face.

All this was being observed by him, he was struggling to digest it ...
Who gave her the right to move on once he had left ? Who gave her the right to enjoy life once he had gone ?

After that Arjun dropped Arpana at home and went to the hospital because Neria was undergoing Labour pain. All of Arjun's family were in the hospital now. Arpana too wanted to go with Arjun but Arjun did not think it was wise to tag Arpana along with him as she's heavily pregnant herself as well.

Arpana was ever so nervous, she prayed and hoped everything goes well for Neria and the baby. Arpana was equally excited to see her niece or nephew as well. Usually Arjun helps her to have a shower but today because he wasn't here Arpana did one quickly and changed into her comfy clothes. Whilst she was drying her hair she heard the door bell ringing, thinking it must be Arjun Arpana went to open it but the person who was stood in front of her gave her the most painful shock of her life ...

Vihaan who was once everything to her was standing in front of her...

Arpana has gone through all the heartbreak after she thought Vihaan died, after finding out Vihaan's true colours she was no longer in love with him...
But when he was stood in front of her after many years she felt a ache in her heart because, deep down Arpana never understood why she was treated so wrong when all she tried to do was to love him and make him happy ...

Arpana's mouth immeditely became all dry ... she wanted to open her mouth, scream at him and tell him to get lost but no words were coming out of her mouth...
Vihaan very well understood that Arpana was beyond shocked, he just smiled at her lightly and called out her name "Arpana ..."

"No !! No you don't have any right to say my name. Before I loose my control Vihaan get lost ...." Arpana said on the verge of crying.

"I'm glad you haven't forgotten my name Arpana ..." Vihaan said ...

"How will I forget the devil's name ?" Arpana asked him in anger.

"Arpana please ... your speaking nonsense without knowing the truth ..." Vihaan said gently. And then without permission Vihaan shoved Arpana gently and entered into her house.

"Vihaan get out !! Who gave you the right to barge into my house ?" Arpana screamed !!
"I don't need anyone permission to enter into my wife's house" Vihaan replied with a little smirk.
"Who the hell is your wife ? I am Arjun's wife. Only Arjun's !!!" Arpana said  proudly.

"Arpana please don't kill me with your words ! Your mine only mine... no Arjun can claim you. Your marriage with Arjun can easily be nullified because I am alive and I haven't divorced you either" Vihaan said inching closer to Arpana.
Arpana had finally lost all her control therefore, Arpana slapped Vihaan tightly with all the strength she had. The slap was nothing compared to the pain and agony Arpana went through because of Vihaan, but she was glad that she at least managed to give him a slap for all his deeds.
As soon as Arpana slapped Vihaan she bursted out and said "I am not a piece of shit for you to continously play with. You ruined many years of my life, but I won't let that happen again because I have self-respect ...
No one has hurted or damaged me in this life as much as you have Vihaan ! YES YOU ! That day when you faked your death do you know much I cried thinking I lost my love ? Your mother damaged me more by saying it is because of my bad luck that you died and our baby is the cause of your death ? Even the society didn't leave me alone !! After it happened I didn't even have the energy to get out of the bed, in the process of mourning for you I lost my precious child ... again I was blamed for my child's miscarriage. Because of you do you know how much sleepless nights I've had ? You did nothing but broke my heart Vihaan ...
More than hate Vihaan I am disappointed at you ... because you turned into everything you said you will never be ...
And you know what Vihaan, I have no need for revenge because I am no longer yours whatever you say ! And I believe that punishment is enough... " more than the slap Arpana's outburst impacted Vihaan more.

After Arpana had said what she said Vihaan inched dangerously close to Arpana frightening Arpana a little....
He then placed both his hands onto Arpana's shoulders, not forgetting to take a note of Arpana's baby bump. He then looked into her eyes and said "You won't understand my love for you baby ... I did none of this intentionally..."

"Vihaan you cannot fool me with your lies once again. Also, get your bloody hands out of my shoulders ... " Arpana shouted.

"Arpana please listen to me....
That gas leak in the navy did actually happen that day. With God's grace I managed to escape but ended up in Delhi God knows how. By the time I had reached Delhi I had lost all my memory. In the process of trying to find my identity I met a girl in Delhi called Yuktha and accidentally fell in love with her. Eventually she gave birth to my child Shreya, in the process of giving birth Yuktha lost her life.

It was recently I regained my memory, I wanted to end my life as soon as I got my memory thinking how I messed my life but Arpana I came here with hope that'd you'd still be waiting for me ...
I was devasted when I found out that you got married and is pregnant with Arjun's child. How could you move on so quickly Arpana and forget me ?" Vihaan asked Arpana whilst sobbing ...

But Arpana couldn't believe the story Vihaan told Arpana... well she did not want to believe Vihaan. Even if It was the truth Arpana was no longer in love with Vihaan. The only thing in her mind now is her Arjun and her unborn baby ...

"Your baby is Anjali's ! Stop cooking up stories ! I am aware of the truth so stop trying to spoon me wrong information" Arpana bursted out in anger...
But Vihaan, was determined he wanted Arpana at no cost even if she was carrying someone else's baby ...

"I finally understood what true love meant
Love meant that you care for another person's happiness more than your own
no matter how painful the choices you face might be"

.......................

So finally Vihaan is here...
Who believes his story ?

Vihaan motive is clear, he wants Arpana. What will Arpana's final decision be ?

Will Arpana choose Vihaan over Arjun ?

What did you all think of Arpana's comment on Arjun, where she complained Arjun's acting as if he is the pregnant one? And him having more pregnancy symptoms than her ?

Any guesses on what may happen in the next chapter ? Will Arjun and Vihaan see each other ? If they do what could happen ?
