Naaya looked up to me with wide eyes, after staring me for a while she bowed her head.
I'm looking at her intently, I don't know what she's thinking and then I realized she's crying, her tears were rolling down from her eyes to cheeks to her palm.
Its heart breaking for me to see her cry but what should I do, she has to taste her own medicine, I can't believe she suggested us to break-up. But now this is going over-board so I hugged her tight, she's sobbing badly. I tried consoling her by patting her back softly.

Before taking her home we consulted Gynecologists' and clarified all our doubts, I asked all the do's and don'ts during the pregnancy and after getting her daily vitamins we left the hospital premises. On the way to home neither I said anything nor did she, I've never been this uncomfortable with her silence. I can feel it, something has changed in her, she has not given a single glance towards me, not uttered a word. She was deep in her thoughts, looking the passing street. I decided to let her cool down then I'll talk to her and let her know about my stand about this whole situation. She can't just talk about break-up and leaving me, so tomorrow I'm going to let her know that whatever she thinks but I'm not letting her go, I love her beyond imagination.
Naaya POV
My whole world collapsed in a blink, for the third time in my life I've been disowned by the persons whom I've trusted most at that point of time. Now I start believing, problem is with me not the other way around. I've never been this low on self-esteem. I need to amend the this with Andrew. Throughout the journey from hospital to home I was thinking how to approach him, I was never in such type of dilemma at least not with him but today......
I've decided if I've to beg him to let me, let us stay then I'll, I clearly remember he said "Yes this baby was not as per my plan but I can't deny the fact that I'm happy about it."
I slept that night with lot of determination to approach him in the morning to sort out the issue for my and my baby's sake. I can't deprive him/ her from the privilege of having a father in his/her life.
I woke up earlier than usual so that I should prepare his favourite breakfast and discuss our differences out over. I was preparing banana pancake batter when Gina, my house- help approaches me and asked, Ma’am what are you doing this early in the morning. I smiled at her and replied I’m preparing Andrews favourite breakfast. She looked at me puzzled and asked Ma’am Naaya you don’t know that Sir Andrew went to India for a week along with his entire family to attend family wedding.
My system couldn’t able to register the shock and about to fall when Gina hold me and made be sit on the nearest couch in the hall. By her face I can see, she was worried for me but I can’t let her know about my and Andrews difference, so I smiled and said I’m still feeling week, I’ll recover gradually. I enquired her “when did he leave for airport Gina” She replied, ma’am after dropping you at home, he did his packing and by 11:30 he went to his paternal family, he might be thinking that you are sleeping that’s why he didn’t disturbed you. He told me they are getting back on next Sunday and after landing there he will contact you, please check your phone he might have left you note or message.”
I ran like I’m running to save my dear life towards my room for my cell phone which I found on the side stand, I unlocked my phone there were 100+ messages I was scrolling messages for Andrews message, I’ve never been this desperate before. I scrolled messages once, twice then thrice I even switched off then switched on my phone thinking may be my phone is having some issue, he could have sent me message but I’ve not received. I was staring at my phone; god knows for how long then Gina informed me that Andrews family landed there.
I’m unable to digest this situation, I’m asking myself again and again, from when I’m not included in his family functions, from when a house help became more family member then me, who know where are you going, for what you are going, for how long you are going, when you’ve landed.
This whole thing was killing me, I can’t take all this anymore, I dialled Andrews number, by each ring I’m getting impatient but at the end nobody answered. I again tried calling him again no answer. I thought may be his phone is on silent or something, so I decided to dropped message-
To Andrew-
Hey Good morning,
how was your flight?
have you reached safely?
When you’re free please get back to me.
Missing you.
After sending five back to back messages i was expecting he’ll get back to me, but much to my dismay, I received a automated message -
