Chapter 138
Part 19
" Whats wrong with me , nothing. "
"You are avoiding me Shilpa. " Armaan spoke irritatedly getting annoyed with the tension hanging around them. She had been behaving weird since the night she had seen him chatting around with Rosa , unknown with the close proximity himself she had caught Rosa hugging him which made him realize the reason behind her disturbed look. He had spent several days to make her understand she was holding a empty worry , still the tension hanged around them which was now suffocating him badly..
Armaan sighed and took her hand caressing it softly.. "How many times should i say sorry for that night. ? Cant you trust me.. ? "
Shilpa cringed inwardly seeing the worried look on his face. He cared for her , it was always visible in his eyes.. Brushing away his hand she got up from her seat cleaning up the table.. "My worry is that Rosa.. "
"She knows her limits she is just a friend Shona.. " Armaan tried to explain with a earnest expression. But she remained quiet with a hardened look on her face..
"Fine do whatever you want.. " He muttered angrily and stormed off from the kitchen with his bag..
A pain ran through her heart as Shilpa made her way back to the room slowly.. What was she doing , was she doing right ?. Every single day he would storm off from house in anger leaving behind her to cry. But could she really blame him for this.. ? Shilpa wondered in her heart uneasily. Whatever happened that night had been a big misunderstanding. He had explained and still had been trying to explain every single day. Guilt ran through her heart.. "Stupid hormones always makes me go crazy " Shilpa muttered under her breath.. Just then she felt his warm hands grip her from behind. With a gasp she turns around to see teasing blue eyes staring down at her.. "Gotcha !! "
Shilpa stared at him. The big smile on his face made her eyes misty for a second as she recalled how cruel she had acted towards him from several days. Armaan frowned and pulled her close inhaling her fragrance.."This is not done.. I came to surprise you and you start to cry seeing me.. "
Forcing a smile on her lips she cups his face speaking in a broken voice. "I am so sorry.. "
He just smiled and held her as she spilled out all her insecurities.. "I shouldnt have been so cruel towards you. I know Rosa and the hug, it was just friendly.. Still the insecurities took over me.. Armaan i cant ever blame you i know you want leave me. But still it scares me.. It scares me a lot.."
"Shhh.. Am there for you. And i realized my mistake , understood and corrected now. I will make sure i keep a good distance with other women specially infront of my pregnant jealous wife. " He completed the sentence in humor, Shilpa chuckled and hit him in arm playfully.. "Thats not funny Armaan."
She stared at him lovingly as he laughed. Shifting close to him she tiptoed whispering on his lips.. " I love you Armaan. "
For the very first time after all these days she felt him get tensed. He stilled and stared down at her with a disturbed expression. For a second hurt filled in her eyes as she wondered , was she expecting for too much. But then the smile returned on his lips as he covered up with kissing her softly.. " God. For how many days i have waited to hold you like this. But you Mrs Shilpa Mallik was busy being the hitler.. "
Shilpa blushed and looked away.. " What are you doing here.. ? Dont you have office.. ? "
He sighed and nuzzled her neck while muttering softly.. "Ahhh Nothing.. I was just tired of going to office with a bad mood everyday. Anyways when do i get the lucky moment.. ? "
She blushed even more seeing the teasing look in his eyes.. Playing with the button of his shirt she spoke softly.. "Umm Armaan. I think you need to remember i am pregnant. "
She chocked a laugh as she heard him mutter something under his breath. He passed a sheepish smile and cleared his throat. "Ok fine. So umm when do i get to cuddle with you.. ? "
Shilpa stared at him for a second and broke into wits of laughter.. "Cuddle.. Are... You Serious.. "
Armaan made a face trying to hide his smile.. "You just dont understand whatever i say. Anways i am going to office now. Bye Shona. "
Shilpa smiled and pecked him on his cheeks whispering softly. "We will cuddle.. Tonight "
Shilpa hurried back to the room hearing the ring of her phone. Sitting on the bed she picked up the call breathless... "Hello Armaan "
"You should seriously stop running around the house Shona. " Armaan frowned worriedly.. Shilpa rolled her eyes smiling.. "Am fine. Was just doing laundry. Anyways why did u call ? To cuddle. ??"
He snorted hearing the tease in her voice.. " I want you to note down the address i am giving to you.. Get dressed and get to the place by half and hour.."
"But why.. ? " Shilpa frowned slowly noting down the address.. He just smiled and replied softly.. " I have a surprise for you.. "
"Armaan you there.. ? " Shilpa spoke softly while entering the house. As she entered she stilled seeing the beauty of the house. Well furnished and filled with colors and simplicity. Whose house was this..? She wondered as she started to look around for him. Where was he. Shilpa stopped near the steps as she heard noise of people talk. Was Armaan upstairs ? As she started to walk upstairs the noise got more close. Finally she stood infront of the room and frowned hearing a voice of someone she didint wish to see.
Taking a deep breath she opened the door to see Armaan and Rosa who set on the bed laughing. Shilpa gasped , Armaan's smile faded away as he stood up quickly.. "You early.. ! "
She glanced a look at Rosa who also stood up with a guilty look on her face. What was she guilty about. Hurt filled through her once again she spoke sarcastically.. "I see.. Maybe i shouldnt have come early.. "
Noticing the tremor in her voice he shook his head quickly as Rosa excused herself from them leaving the room quietly.. Shilpa turned back to Armaan and interrupted him before he could speak. " So why did you bring me to her house. I guess you were already having a good time with her.. "
His eyes widen , for a minute hurt filled in them as she cringed inside wondering whether she was wrong. He hardened his expressions and muttered angrily. " I seriously dont understand what type of negative thoughts are running in your mind Shilpa. For once and all just get it in your head. There is nothing going on between me and Rosa. !! "
Her lips trembled while he turned around trying to calm down his anger. Shilpa slowly set on the bed and spoke in a shaking voice. "Then why are you always with her. Its been months i hardly see your face. Whenever i see i get to see u with her. Still i dont say a word knowing she is just a secretary. But you always laugh with her , enjoy her company. What should i feel about it. Why dont you spend time with me ? "
The very last question sent chills down his body. He turned around and set infront of her as her eyes welled up. Holding her hand tightly he spoke gently.. " Firstly i accept my fault. But can i explain myself. ? I know i have overworked myself not giving much time to u and baby. But i did all this to free myself from this project. And finally today i am free from the burden of those works. Rosa was here to help me in some final task only.. "
Shilpa frowned. He just smiled and continued.. "This was the surprise i was planning to give u from months. And this is not Rosa's house. Infact this is Our House Shona. You are sitting in our bedroom.."
Her breath caught as she registered his words in her mind. She glanced around in awe as he smiled widely... "I was telling Rosa how happy you would be to see this house. "
She stared back at him and whispered.. "Armaan. Are you serious. This.. This is our house.. ? But it is so big.. "
He took her hand taking her out of the room.. She walked along with him looking around with a smile.. "Yes its Big. I had seen this place from long time. But had some issues for buying thats why couldnt do it soon. Now finally i have bought and this belongs to you and my baby.. "
Her eyes grew misty and she press a light kiss on his lips.. "No.. Its our Home.. "
He grinned happily and led her outside.. "I wanted you to see this place as i knew you would love it.. "
Her breath caught once again as she stared at the view stunned. They had stepped out in a beautiful garden. The place was done with beautiful gardening and looked peaceful.. "Armaan.. Its so beautiful.. " She spoke in a cracked voice as he hugged her lightly staring around..
She sniffed lightly as he laughed.. "You arent supposed to cry yet. Because i have something special waiting for you upstairs.. "
She walked upstairs with him with a thudding heart as he led her to the corner room. A halt came to her steps as he opened the door. She just stood still and stared around with tears and trembling lips. As he chuckled and pulled her inside she touched the walls of beautiful Nursery room. The room of their Baby.. It was done with mix of light colors. The room was filled with everything she could have dreamed of having for her child. As glanced at him in awe as he shrugged his shoulders speaking sheepishly.."I was little confused on what color to bring. So i told them to keep both Pink and Blue here.. "
Shilpa smiled at him as she felt loss of words. She didint knew what to say. Everything felt like a dream. A perfect dream which was now reality. He glanced back at her and spoke nervously. "Are you now totally filled with surprises or you can take one more.. ? "
"What. ? " She blurted out as he led her outside the room walking downstairs back to the garden.. As he took her along she realized he was much quieter than before.. What was he nervous about..
Armaan led her near the swing and smiled at her, Shilpa glanced around still confused.. "What Armaan ? "
He grinned, but soon it faded off as he glanced down and shouted in surprise.. "What the Hell !! "
She glanced down to see few big puzzle pieces scattered around.. Armaan ran a hand in his hair and spoke dissapointedly.. "I wonder which idiot ruined my work.. "
Shilpa smiled and knelt down slowly putting along the pieces together.. She glanced at Armaan for a second who stared at her nervous , but glanced away embarrassed seeing her stare.. Slowly she got back in arranging the pieces wondering what was hidden behind the puzzle. As it was completed her hands started to shake as she read aloud the words written in it.. I Love You..
One month past :
"Whats wrong with you today ? "" Whats wrong with me , nothing. "
"You are avoiding me Shilpa. " Armaan spoke irritatedly getting annoyed with the tension hanging around them. She had been behaving weird since the night she had seen him chatting around with Rosa , unknown with the close proximity himself she had caught Rosa hugging him which made him realize the reason behind her disturbed look. He had spent several days to make her understand she was holding a empty worry , still the tension hanged around them which was now suffocating him badly..

Part 20
Did i say something wrong ? It was the words which kept ringing in his mind as they made their way back to home. Through out the way she was silent , a blank expression stick on her face as if she was in daze.. She better react good.. He muttered to himself slightly dissapointed with her behavior. After so much planning of the house and confessing his feelings to her he had expected her to react with a look of surprise and tears. But instead she stared at him blankly and mumbled that she wants to go back home.
"Shilpa stop doing that.. " Armaan muttered angrily as he followed her around the house while she kept gathering up items in boxes.. Maybe she was eager or excited to shift back to the new house as soon as possible. But instead all he noticed in her face was tiredness which she usually felt due to pregnancy.. "Shilpa you should not stress out yourself in this condition.." He spoke carefully trying to keep himself calm as he spoke softly so that she wouldnt react bad. Since pregnancy had started she had been reacting to his words emotionally. "Shilpa listen to me.. Shona " He spoke softly taking her hand into his.. He frowned as she moved away softly crying.. "How can you just come and say it so easily.. " She spoke in broken words while trying to put away things with her trembling hands..
" I said stop stressing out yourself.. " He muttered in a angry tone. Shilpa glanced up at him biting her lips , but instead of listening to him she started to fill up the box with items..
"You arent going to listen to me right.. Fine " Without giving her a chance to react he picked her up in his arms while she struggled slightly to get away from him. But Armaan was Armaan and Armaan Mallik wasnt in a good mood to listen..
He frowned badly as she lay beneath him and cried softly.. But this time instead of questioning her he held her close letting her cry out her frustrations and pain.. He glanced at the clock and realized it was past 9 pm.. Slowly rubbing her back he held her in his arms as she drifted back into peaceful sleep..
It was pass dawn when he felt her shift beside him slowly giving a nudge on his shoulder.. After several minutes he groaned and got on one elbow staring down at her sleepily while she stared at him with her eyes wide open.. "Armaan are you awake now.. "
" My eyes are open, and i guess you can see i am speaking too " He spoke groggily as she started to laugh hearing his words.. He smiled seeing the way her eyes shined while she kept laughing.. " You look beautiful when you smile. " The smile faded off as her eyes grew misty as emotions filled in them.. He groaned inwardly and set up with a annoyed look.. "Now i have a serious problem with this tears. Why do you keep always crying. Am i that bad. "
Shilpa set up leaning to the headboard while he set facing her questioningly.. Biting her lips from crying she spoke hesitantly.." I know i shouldnt cry. I should be happy today. But its been long since i waited for you Armaan.. "
He sighed slowly pulling her close as she spoke out her heart to him... She spoke out the way she had dreamed about him every single day. How it pained to see him love someone else. How painful it was to see him broken. "Armaan. It all still feels like a dream. Every time i held back myself thinking its only one sided love. Now i have you beside me , a baby growing inside me, a dream house to go.. Everything feels like a beautiful dream.."
He drew a breath of relief finally content on hearing what he had waited for.. Slowly caressing her cheeks he confessed his feelings.. " Its not a dream anymore.. This is reality. Our reality. I still cant believe i had been such a fool not to see the love you had for me. Instead i kept running behind a women who never loved me even once. I should have realized what a big mistake i was doing.. "
She glanced up in his eyes and tried to protest when he continued.. "Let me say this. Yes i did love Sara. She was one girl who i loved way too much that it hurt..But after she left suddenly i crashed on to you in such a way. In such a way that i started doubting my own feelings. The passion i felt with you was something i never had with her. The way you helped me. Took care of me every single day. I cant even tell you how grateful i am to have a life partner like you with me.. Everything has faded away from my heart. Instead i am giving you something you deserve. The love you deserve. I love you Shona. I love you more than you can imagine.. "
She kept listening to him intently while trying to hold back herself from crying. As she broke into tears he started to laugh , Shilpa hit his chest playfully and smiled through tears.. " I hate you.. You always say things which makes me cry.. "
" What. You feel like crying because i love you ?? " He spoke dramatically as she grinned slowly laying down on the bed with a yawn. "Oh Hello what do you think you are doing.. ?? " He spoke slowly leaning down on her as she opened one eye with a pout.. " Sleeping ...whatelse..? Your baby makes me so tired i cant sit straight even for a minute.. "
Slowly caressing her bulging belly he stretched beside her and slowly kissed her eyes mumbling softly.. " I love you.. And tomorrow i am taking a day off.."
" I love you too. But why day off.. " She muttered sleepily hugging him as he smiled.. " Because tomorrow we will shift to our new house. Home sweet home.. "
" Armaan mallik you are a dead meat.. " Anjali muttered angrily glaring at Armaan while he brought inside the boxes grinning.. "Oh come on Anjie. I traded with you and you know it.. "
"Fine fine.. Now as you see i have completed my work of arranging the living room... Now give me the tickets of the concert as promised.." Anjali smirked.. Armaan chuckled and pulled out the ticket from his jeans pocket.." Here you go. And enjoy.. "
Staring down at the ticket Anjali smiled widely giving him a quick hug.."Thank you dude. Anyways where is Shilpa. I have to go now say my regards to her.. "
" She said she was feeling hot. Must have gone inside to change into something comfortable.. " Armaan shrugged while opening up the boxes getting occupied in the work.. " Fine Give my love to her Bye.. " Anjali gives a wave and walk out of the house grinning to herself..
" Finally.. All done " He muttered to himself happily as he pulled away the junk from the living area satisfied with the work he had completed.. Tiredly he set on the sofa closing his eyes for rest when he heard her irritated voice.. "Armaan I tried to open my suitcase but it is not opening.. I have placed all your clothes in wardrobe but how am i supposed to get mine.."
Ignoring her complaints he laid silent enjoying the coolness of Air conditioner when Shilpa spoke impatiently.. "Armaan.. Are you even listening to me.. I need to get a dress to change.. "
" So you are not wearing anything right now.. " He grinned with closed eyes as devil thoughts formed in his mind..
" I am wearing a old shirt of you.. Now can you seriously come and help me to open my suitcase.. " Shilpa spoke with irritation..
Ohh Not again the shirt.. He opened his eyes remembering how he reacted always seeing her in shirt.. And today he found more hard to pull away his gaze from her body as the shirt wasnt long enough to hide away her legs.. And today first time he noticed she looked quiet shy and uncomfortable due to so much exposure due to the shirt..Ofcourse she had gain some weight but he couldnt believe what a beautiful glow she had in her face.. Everything was perfect about her.. It was him now he had a hell of hard time trying not to forget she was 5 months pregnant.. Clearing his throat he got up and followed her inside while trying to keep his eyes from staring at her back.. She walked with such a grace he had a hard time to control himself from having her right there.. She walked inside and pointed him her suitcase.. Armaan set on the floor and tried to open the suitcase.. He tried to drag it hard, slowly he muttered under his breath and turned around only to curse under his breath.. Shit.. She set on the bed , her legs pointing right at him.. Unknowingly his gaze traveled up seeing how the shirt had ridden up showing up more of her legs. Swallowing he glanced up at her innocent face. Did she had even slightest idea what she was doing to him.. Probably not. Shilpa frowned and have a shake to him.. "Armaan.. Its opening or not.. "
He stared at her in daze without answering her question. Instead staring at her he replied dreamily.. " How many seconds will it take to take of that shirt ? "
"What ?? " Shilpa stared at him baffled but the desire flowing in his eyes didint go unnoticed by her. Was she really giving him a hard time. Slowly glancing down at her attire she cleared out her doubt. Biting her lips softly she tried to pull down the shirt which was not doing much help to cover up herself.. "Armaan.. My clothes.. " She mumbled helplessly knowing it wasnt doing any much help. Instead of listening to her pleas he kept staring at her as if he would kiss her in any minute. That made her remember about their conversation before where he mentioned about cuddling.. It made her break into fits of laughter.. Armaan narrowed his eyes as she started to laugh badly.. "Shona."
She stopped laughing and smiled as she saw him get back on trying to open the suitcase.. Slowly her eyes traveled on his bare back. Once again noticing how muscular and powerful he looked. He had a gorgeous body which always made her have naughty thoughts.. He was something which she had never experienced in life. He was a perfect lover , a perfect husband. Whatelse was there to expect more than this. Her feets started to curl up as she grew more uneasy due to the desirable feelings rising in her heart.. "Armaan.. " She stammered softly as he finally opened up the suitcase with a big smile.. "Its done.. What were you saying.. " He glanced at her gently but soon the gentleness faded off seeing the passion hidden under her eyes. A look which evoke the passion for her within himself. He swallowed a lump , and stared down at her legs as she spoke in horse voice.."Touch me please.. "
He stared at her for a long minute , Understanding what she wanted , realizing what he wanted to do himself. Slowly gripping the edge of the bed he crawled into the bed while she herself crawled into the middle slowly lying on it.. His hands automatically started to trail on her soft legs , while his eyes never left hers. He kept watching every single change in her expression as he touched her more intimately.. Slowly settling himself on her lightly he unbuttoned the shirt seductively , still staring down at her with his passionate gaze. Caressing her every curve through his eyes.. She stared back at him breathlessly surprised with her own boldness. But it didint matter to her anymore. They both were deeply committed and the least thing she wanted to feel among them was awkwardness. Her fingers slowly trained on his shoulders , feeling his muscles. It slowly snaked on his neck as he took the shirt. Suddenly feeling the coolness hit her body she pulled up the sheets covering themselves. He smiled seeing how easily she reacted. A hint of shyness always accompanied her whenever he touched her , felt her. Not that it bothered him instead he found himself getting more attached towards her innocent love to him. Slowly his hands ran on her body as she sucked on a breath closing his eyes. He leaned down on her neck showering light kisses. His touches making her tremble. She herself busied herself on caressing his back as he softly moved his hands on her growing bump slowly caressing it. A smile formed on his lips as well as hers as they felt connected to their child at the same moment.. He moved down and placed his ear on her belly as she sighed blissfully.. "Its my baby here.." He announced proudly yet in a gentle voice making her smile.. "I hope he can feel me.. " Armaan mumbled softly placing a kiss on her growing bump.. "Am sure he is feeling both of us.. " She whispered softly as he glanced back at her with a smile.. They enjoyed the silent moment together laying in eachother's arms.. After a while she pinched his arm and spoke playfully.. " I am sure i am giving you a hard time.. " He frowned irritatedly and pouted as she started to laugh seeing the miserable look on his face.. "Ofcourse.. But still i dont mind cuddling.. "
That made her laugh harder.. She wiped the tears which formed in her eyes and glanced at him lovingly as he took her hand staring down at her.. "I love you Shona.. You know that right.. " He whispered to her slowly kissing her lips drinking the sweetness of it. She moaned under his lips and responded back to him kissing eagerly.. As he dragged his lips away to her cheeks caressing them she spoke breathlessly.. "Ofcourse i know.. Be mine forever like this.. "
****************************************************
"Then you better stop making me run after you. Armaan Mallik still is a kid who doesnt knw where his things are.. " Shilpa made up a face but couldnt help smile as she noticed him giving a silly grin..
"Oh god am sure gonna be late for my meeting now.. " Armaan muttered under his breath as he glanced at his watch and made his way to get his bag.. " Now where did i keep my keys.. " He spoke aloud searching around the sitting room.. Shilpa groaned and got up unwillingly, she picked up the keys from the drawer and walked upto him slowly narrowing her eyes.. "Your keys Armaan.. " He smiled and tried to take it when she snatched it back with a strict look.. " You will only get your keys when you finish the breakfast.. "
Armaan frowned and made a face glancing back at his watch again.. " I am very much Late Shona. I will have breakfast later now plz give me keys.."
"Atleast drink the juice Armaan.. " She pouted her lips innocently knowing he cant stand that look. Armaan sighed and took the juice drinking it in One go.. "See i drank.. Now give me my keys.. "
Shilpa shook her head smiling and handed him the keys which he took quickly hurrying back to the door. As she followed behind him slowly he turned around.. " I forgot something.. "
Before she could react he hugged her heart and placed a light kiss on her lips. Shilpa mumbled blissfully as hugging him back.. " I love you Shona. And try not to run around.. "
She let out a small laugh and whispered back.. " I love you too "
"Hey Padma Mom " Armaan took the call smiling as he got to hear from her after a long time..
"Hey Armaan. How are you doing.. ? How is your work going on.. ? " Padma spoke gently.. Armaan sighed slowly placing down his file.. "Everything is going pretty hectic. You know right Shilpa's due date is coming close. I am trying to free myself as soon as possible. "
Padma smiled hearing his words.. "Thats so nice Armaan. And i did talk to Shilpa. Like always she have complain that you are overworking urself. "
Armaan chuckled as he got to hear about the same complaint which he had been getting from several days... "Mom she is not going to stop saying that.. Anyways when are you coming here..? "
"Oh i would arrive by next week. Let me wrap up all important errands here before i leave. I know i cant miss seeing the first glimpse of my grandchild.. "
Armaan smiled hearing the excitement in her voice.. " Ok Armaan continue with you work i shall call back later. Bye "
"Bye Mom "
"That dress looks so cute on you Shilpa.. " Anjali beamed happily as Shilpa walked outside the house locking the front door behind her.. Shilpa smiled back and smoothed down her maternity dress with a grin.. " You wont believe if i say it was Armaan who got this dress for me.. "
" You Gotta be kidding me " Anjali glanced at her shocked shaking her head.. " Armaan Mallik and Shopping.. Looks like you are having a good effect on him..
Shilpa blushed and got into the passenger seat of the car. As they hit to the road together Anjali glanced at her.. " So tell me. Are you excited for the coming baby.. "
"Ofcourse i am. I have been waiting from such a long time Now. And Armaan seems to be much more excited than me.. "
Anjali rolled her eyes looking ahead.. "Ofcourse he is. I do noticed hw he keeps grinning whenever we discuss about the baby. Shilpa you are so lucky to have such a wonderful husband. "
Her smiled faded off as a new fear rose in her heart.. " Anjie plzz. Dont keep saying it repeatedly it scares me now. So much happiness together. I married the man i loved so much, Now i am carrying his baby. It all seems to be a beautiful dream.. "
" Which is now reality.. " Anjali spoke reassuringly but it made no improvement in her fear.. "But Still Anjie. It scares me. What if i loose everything. What if i.. "
Shilpa stopped herself from continuing as the insecurities filled her mind disturbing her.. Anjali felt the tension rise within Shilpa, she gave a tight press in her hand.. " Shilpa stop being insecure. Nothing bad is going to happen. Just kool down everything shall be fine believe me.. "
Anjali felt annoyed all of a sudden. Eventhough she had reassured Shilpa , seeing the fear in her eyes had made her suddenly feel scared. God please dont let anyone ruin their happiness. Just dont let anyone break her heart again.. Anjali prayed in her heart as they hit off to their destination in silence..
"Armaan you are overeacting now.. " Shilpa replied on phone getting irritated with his behavior. From the other end Armaan snorted and spoke.. " I am Overeacting ?? Did you forget what Doctor said.? You should be resting in home Shona not wandering around with thats stupid lady.."
"There you go again. Calm down i will be back in home in a while. Anyways i am feeling tired.. " Shilpa replied softly while taking a seat with Anjali in the restaurant of the mall.
"Your having back pain again right.. " Armaan whispered.. " We will take care of it tonight.. I mean i will take care of you.."
Shilpa blushed softly and glanced away looking around.. "I will call you as i get home. Love you Bye.. "
As she cut the call Anjali spoke with a smirk.. "He was cursing me on phone right.. ?? "
Shilpa tried to protest when Anjali grinned.. " I know very well he wud be cursing me for taking you out. But come on its good to have a girl shopping time. "
" I know. And i enjoy coming with you.. " Shilpa replied with a tired smile as they made their orders.. It was then when Anjali noticed the tiredness in her eyes.. "You look totally worn out. Lets just finish our food and get you back home before that Mallik come to kill me.. "
" Come on Anjali he is not that bad.. " Shilpa complained and then smiled as Anjali gave her a look... "Ya ya i know he is not that Bad. Thats why only i am not irritating him these days. He is a good husband.. "
" Now that you have mentioned about Husband, that reminds me how did your date go with Mr.Varun.. " Shilpa spoke with a sudden interest when Anjali glanced at her with a surprised and flushed look.. " Ohh it was just great. He seems to be a nice guy. I enjoy his company a lot.. "
" So tell me. When am i getting to hear about Marriage.." Shilpa spoke grinning taking her juice sipping it..
Anjali rolled her eyes and winked.. " Why you think i wud marry him. I havent even thought about it yet. Let me first find out what a tough guy this Varun is then i shall tell you the date of Marriage if he is worth enough.. "
Shilpa laughed along with Anjali but soon her smile faded off as she glanced back at Anjali as a figure caught her eye.. She gasped softly gripping the table hard.. She studied the figure, from up to toe just trying to make sure she was seeing the correct person. She was indeed correct. Shilpa realized as her heart started to beat widely.. Infront of her stood her past. The past that she had tried to run away from so long. The past which made her always weak and insecure. The past which they had let gone so they could make a new future. But now , seeing the same past stand infront of her brought out all her old insecurities which she had buried within her heart. She was back. Back in their lives. Back into their world of happiness. She was again back in town. Her eyes came and set on Shilpa .. Shilpa noticed a sort of surprise and distaste which formed in her eyes as she recognized her.. Slowly she turned around fully facing her.. Shilpa felt her heartbeat almost stop..And in a slow work with a cunning smile Sara made came towards her..
And destiny finally brings us face to face Shilpa...

Part 20
Did i say something wrong ? It was the words which kept ringing in his mind as they made their way back to home. Through out the way she was silent , a blank expression stick on her face as if she was in daze.. She better react good.. He muttered to himself slightly dissapointed with her behavior. After so much planning of the house and confessing his feelings to her he had expected her to react with a look of surprise and tears. But instead she stared at him blankly and mumbled that she wants to go back home.
"Shilpa stop doing that.. " Armaan muttered angrily as he followed her around the house while she kept gathering up items in boxes.. Maybe she was eager or excited to shift back to the new house as soon as possible. But instead all he noticed in her face was tiredness which she usually felt due to pregnancy.. "Shilpa you should not stress out yourself in this condition.." He spoke carefully trying to keep himself calm as he spoke softly so that she wouldnt react bad. Since pregnancy had started she had been reacting to his words emotionally. "Shilpa listen to me.. Shona " He spoke softly taking her hand into his.. He frowned as she moved away softly crying.. "How can you just come and say it so easily.. " She spoke in broken words while trying to put away things with her trembling hands..
" I said stop stressing out yourself.. " He muttered in a angry tone. Shilpa glanced up at him biting her lips , but instead of listening to him she started to fill up the box with items..
"You arent going to listen to me right.. Fine " Without giving her a chance to react he picked her up in his arms while she struggled slightly to get away from him. But Armaan was Armaan and Armaan Mallik wasnt in a good mood to listen..
He frowned badly as she lay beneath him and cried softly.. But this time instead of questioning her he held her close letting her cry out her frustrations and pain.. He glanced at the clock and realized it was past 9 pm.. Slowly rubbing her back he held her in his arms as she drifted back into peaceful sleep..
It was pass dawn when he felt her shift beside him slowly giving a nudge on his shoulder.. After several minutes he groaned and got on one elbow staring down at her sleepily while she stared at him with her eyes wide open.. "Armaan are you awake now.. "
" My eyes are open, and i guess you can see i am speaking too " He spoke groggily as she started to laugh hearing his words.. He smiled seeing the way her eyes shined while she kept laughing.. " You look beautiful when you smile. " The smile faded off as her eyes grew misty as emotions filled in them.. He groaned inwardly and set up with a annoyed look.. "Now i have a serious problem with this tears. Why do you keep always crying. Am i that bad. "
Shilpa set up leaning to the headboard while he set facing her questioningly.. Biting her lips from crying she spoke hesitantly.." I know i shouldnt cry. I should be happy today. But its been long since i waited for you Armaan.. "
He sighed slowly pulling her close as she spoke out her heart to him... She spoke out the way she had dreamed about him every single day. How it pained to see him love someone else. How painful it was to see him broken. "Armaan. It all still feels like a dream. Every time i held back myself thinking its only one sided love. Now i have you beside me , a baby growing inside me, a dream house to go.. Everything feels like a beautiful dream.."
He drew a breath of relief finally content on hearing what he had waited for.. Slowly caressing her cheeks he confessed his feelings.. " Its not a dream anymore.. This is reality. Our reality. I still cant believe i had been such a fool not to see the love you had for me. Instead i kept running behind a women who never loved me even once. I should have realized what a big mistake i was doing.. "
She glanced up in his eyes and tried to protest when he continued.. "Let me say this. Yes i did love Sara. She was one girl who i loved way too much that it hurt..But after she left suddenly i crashed on to you in such a way. In such a way that i started doubting my own feelings. The passion i felt with you was something i never had with her. The way you helped me. Took care of me every single day. I cant even tell you how grateful i am to have a life partner like you with me.. Everything has faded away from my heart. Instead i am giving you something you deserve. The love you deserve. I love you Shona. I love you more than you can imagine.. "
She kept listening to him intently while trying to hold back herself from crying. As she broke into tears he started to laugh , Shilpa hit his chest playfully and smiled through tears.. " I hate you.. You always say things which makes me cry.. "
" What. You feel like crying because i love you ?? " He spoke dramatically as she grinned slowly laying down on the bed with a yawn. "Oh Hello what do you think you are doing.. ?? " He spoke slowly leaning down on her as she opened one eye with a pout.. " Sleeping ...whatelse..? Your baby makes me so tired i cant sit straight even for a minute.. "
Slowly caressing her bulging belly he stretched beside her and slowly kissed her eyes mumbling softly.. " I love you.. And tomorrow i am taking a day off.."
" I love you too. But why day off.. " She muttered sleepily hugging him as he smiled.. " Because tomorrow we will shift to our new house. Home sweet home.. "
" Armaan mallik you are a dead meat.. " Anjali muttered angrily glaring at Armaan while he brought inside the boxes grinning.. "Oh come on Anjie. I traded with you and you know it.. "
"Fine fine.. Now as you see i have completed my work of arranging the living room... Now give me the tickets of the concert as promised.." Anjali smirked.. Armaan chuckled and pulled out the ticket from his jeans pocket.." Here you go. And enjoy.. "
Staring down at the ticket Anjali smiled widely giving him a quick hug.."Thank you dude. Anyways where is Shilpa. I have to go now say my regards to her.. "
" She said she was feeling hot. Must have gone inside to change into something comfortable.. " Armaan shrugged while opening up the boxes getting occupied in the work.. " Fine Give my love to her Bye.. " Anjali gives a wave and walk out of the house grinning to herself..
" Finally.. All done " He muttered to himself happily as he pulled away the junk from the living area satisfied with the work he had completed.. Tiredly he set on the sofa closing his eyes for rest when he heard her irritated voice.. "Armaan I tried to open my suitcase but it is not opening.. I have placed all your clothes in wardrobe but how am i supposed to get mine.."
Ignoring her complaints he laid silent enjoying the coolness of Air conditioner when Shilpa spoke impatiently.. "Armaan.. Are you even listening to me.. I need to get a dress to change.. "
" So you are not wearing anything right now.. " He grinned with closed eyes as devil thoughts formed in his mind..
" I am wearing a old shirt of you.. Now can you seriously come and help me to open my suitcase.. " Shilpa spoke with irritation..
Ohh Not again the shirt.. He opened his eyes remembering how he reacted always seeing her in shirt.. And today he found more hard to pull away his gaze from her body as the shirt wasnt long enough to hide away her legs.. And today first time he noticed she looked quiet shy and uncomfortable due to so much exposure due to the shirt..Ofcourse she had gain some weight but he couldnt believe what a beautiful glow she had in her face.. Everything was perfect about her.. It was him now he had a hell of hard time trying not to forget she was 5 months pregnant.. Clearing his throat he got up and followed her inside while trying to keep his eyes from staring at her back.. She walked with such a grace he had a hard time to control himself from having her right there.. She walked inside and pointed him her suitcase.. Armaan set on the floor and tried to open the suitcase.. He tried to drag it hard, slowly he muttered under his breath and turned around only to curse under his breath.. Shit.. She set on the bed , her legs pointing right at him.. Unknowingly his gaze traveled up seeing how the shirt had ridden up showing up more of her legs. Swallowing he glanced up at her innocent face. Did she had even slightest idea what she was doing to him.. Probably not. Shilpa frowned and have a shake to him.. "Armaan.. Its opening or not.. "
He stared at her in daze without answering her question. Instead staring at her he replied dreamily.. " How many seconds will it take to take of that shirt ? "
"What ?? " Shilpa stared at him baffled but the desire flowing in his eyes didint go unnoticed by her. Was she really giving him a hard time. Slowly glancing down at her attire she cleared out her doubt. Biting her lips softly she tried to pull down the shirt which was not doing much help to cover up herself.. "Armaan.. My clothes.. " She mumbled helplessly knowing it wasnt doing any much help. Instead of listening to her pleas he kept staring at her as if he would kiss her in any minute. That made her remember about their conversation before where he mentioned about cuddling.. It made her break into fits of laughter.. Armaan narrowed his eyes as she started to laugh badly.. "Shona."
She stopped laughing and smiled as she saw him get back on trying to open the suitcase.. Slowly her eyes traveled on his bare back. Once again noticing how muscular and powerful he looked. He had a gorgeous body which always made her have naughty thoughts.. He was something which she had never experienced in life. He was a perfect lover , a perfect husband. Whatelse was there to expect more than this. Her feets started to curl up as she grew more uneasy due to the desirable feelings rising in her heart.. "Armaan.. " She stammered softly as he finally opened up the suitcase with a big smile.. "Its done.. What were you saying.. " He glanced at her gently but soon the gentleness faded off seeing the passion hidden under her eyes. A look which evoke the passion for her within himself. He swallowed a lump , and stared down at her legs as she spoke in horse voice.."Touch me please.. "
He stared at her for a long minute , Understanding what she wanted , realizing what he wanted to do himself. Slowly gripping the edge of the bed he crawled into the bed while she herself crawled into the middle slowly lying on it.. His hands automatically started to trail on her soft legs , while his eyes never left hers. He kept watching every single change in her expression as he touched her more intimately.. Slowly settling himself on her lightly he unbuttoned the shirt seductively , still staring down at her with his passionate gaze. Caressing her every curve through his eyes.. She stared back at him breathlessly surprised with her own boldness. But it didint matter to her anymore. They both were deeply committed and the least thing she wanted to feel among them was awkwardness. Her fingers slowly trained on his shoulders , feeling his muscles. It slowly snaked on his neck as he took the shirt. Suddenly feeling the coolness hit her body she pulled up the sheets covering themselves. He smiled seeing how easily she reacted. A hint of shyness always accompanied her whenever he touched her , felt her. Not that it bothered him instead he found himself getting more attached towards her innocent love to him. Slowly his hands ran on her body as she sucked on a breath closing his eyes. He leaned down on her neck showering light kisses. His touches making her tremble. She herself busied herself on caressing his back as he softly moved his hands on her growing bump slowly caressing it. A smile formed on his lips as well as hers as they felt connected to their child at the same moment.. He moved down and placed his ear on her belly as she sighed blissfully.. "Its my baby here.." He announced proudly yet in a gentle voice making her smile.. "I hope he can feel me.. " Armaan mumbled softly placing a kiss on her growing bump.. "Am sure he is feeling both of us.. " She whispered softly as he glanced back at her with a smile.. They enjoyed the silent moment together laying in eachother's arms.. After a while she pinched his arm and spoke playfully.. " I am sure i am giving you a hard time.. " He frowned irritatedly and pouted as she started to laugh seeing the miserable look on his face.. "Ofcourse.. But still i dont mind cuddling.. "
That made her laugh harder.. She wiped the tears which formed in her eyes and glanced at him lovingly as he took her hand staring down at her.. "I love you Shona.. You know that right.. " He whispered to her slowly kissing her lips drinking the sweetness of it. She moaned under his lips and responded back to him kissing eagerly.. As he dragged his lips away to her cheeks caressing them she spoke breathlessly.. "Ofcourse i know.. Be mine forever like this.. "

Part 21
"Then you better stop making me run after you. Armaan Mallik still is a kid who doesnt knw where his things are.. " Shilpa made up a face but couldnt help smile as she noticed him giving a silly grin..
"Oh god am sure gonna be late for my meeting now.. " Armaan muttered under his breath as he glanced at his watch and made his way to get his bag.. " Now where did i keep my keys.. " He spoke aloud searching around the sitting room.. Shilpa groaned and got up unwillingly, she picked up the keys from the drawer and walked upto him slowly narrowing her eyes.. "Your keys Armaan.. " He smiled and tried to take it when she snatched it back with a strict look.. " You will only get your keys when you finish the breakfast.. "
Armaan frowned and made a face glancing back at his watch again.. " I am very much Late Shona. I will have breakfast later now plz give me keys.."
"Atleast drink the juice Armaan.. " She pouted her lips innocently knowing he cant stand that look. Armaan sighed and took the juice drinking it in One go.. "See i drank.. Now give me my keys.. "
Shilpa shook her head smiling and handed him the keys which he took quickly hurrying back to the door. As she followed behind him slowly he turned around.. " I forgot something.. "
Before she could react he hugged her heart and placed a light kiss on her lips. Shilpa mumbled blissfully as hugging him back.. " I love you Shona. And try not to run around.. "

Padma smiled hearing his words.. "Thats so nice Armaan. And i did talk to Shilpa. Like always she have complain that you are overworking urself. "

"That dress looks so cute on you Shilpa.. " Anjali beamed happily as Shilpa walked outside the house locking the front door behind her.. Shilpa smiled back and smoothed down her maternity dress with a grin.. " You wont believe if i say it was Armaan who got this dress for me.. "
" You Gotta be kidding me " Anjali glanced at her shocked shaking her head.. " Armaan Mallik and Shopping.. Looks like you are having a good effect on him..
