Chapter 144

Shilpa uncomfortably shifted from one side to another trying to pull of the weight of him on her.. She turned back to other side when suddenly his hand crawled on her waist pulling her back close to his body.. She felt a ting of desire run through her as she felt his hot breath on her neck.. She inhaled his masculine scent and turned around facing his body when his lips brushed on hers making her tremble.. Getting lost in the moment she leaned forward to get more of his lips taking it into a soft kiss while her hands went on the back on his neck, caressing his hair softly.. She felt him groan as he willingly kissed her back deeply while his hands went on her back pulling her more close.. As they kept kissing with closed eyes, bodies tangled she gasped as she felt his hand run on her leg pulling it on his waist which gives her an idea of how close they were.. She smiled while kissing when he held her in his arms tightly.. How nice it was to have such a feeling.. How nice it was to be awaken in morning with someone beside.. How nice it was to get a kiss everyday like this, Every morning.. How nice it was to be in arms of a husband... Husband...??? Shilpa's eyes flew open as she reality cameback on her at once... She wasnt married.. And the person lying near her definitely wasnt her husband.. And then the events of last night came back on her abruptly.. She was here on business trip.. Germany.. And here she was kissing the Arrogant Mallik... Shilpa broke the kiss immediately and set up on the bed breathing heavily.. She kicked from her leg making him fall from the bed..
Armaan rubbed his back painfully as he woke fully... As he remembered he was sleeping and woke up when he felt her soft lips on his which send a jolt inside him at once.. But was that a dream.. ? He opened his eyes wide and looked up to see Shilpa standing on the bed with her arms on her hips fuming in anger.. So that was not at all a dream.. He gets up furiously rubbing his back...
Armaan : WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT... ??
Shilpa : WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU DOING IN MY BED... ?
Armaan : Ohh just stop shouting.. My ears are hurting..
Shilpa : So what were you doing just now.. Singing Lullaby..
Armaan : Talk about yourself.. What were you doing.. Kissing me when was sleeping..
Shilpa opened her mouth to shout but stopped as she flushed hearing his comment.. She mentally kicked herself for fantasizing her wild dreams..
Shilpa : I.. Umm I was..
Armaan : Wooow... Dr.Shilpa is out of words...
Shilpa : Shut up.. I was just thinking it was my imagination..
Armaan : What imagination.. And why do you experiment your imaginations on me..
Shilpa shakes her head in disgust and bends down picking up a pillow.. Before Armaan could make out what was happening she throws it to him and the pillow hits on his face hard..
Armaan : What was that for.. ??
Shilpa : Why were you sleeping on me.. I told you before also stay away from me..
Armaan : Oh hello Madam.. I have no interest in sleeping with you or sharing a bed with you... Infact i dont even wish to share a room with you.. I am staying here just becauxe i dont have anyother choice..
Shilpa gets down from the bed and moves infront of him..
Shilpa : And you think i would believe your excuses.. Dont even try to make any of them.. Ohh Now i understand.. It was your plan to bring me here and do whatever you want right.. You deliberately arranged one room..
Armaan : ENOUGH... !! I dont care if you believe me or not.. I really i dont care.. I dont have enough time to waste on you.. I have a conference to attend which i dont want u to attend and ruin so you stay here and do whatever you want.. Got it..!!
Shilpa looked at him stunned as he walked away from her taking his belonging while cursing under his breath for his stupidity of bringing her here..

Shilpa kept walking in the buxy road of Germany while looking consciously around her surroundings.. How could Armaan leave her alone among strangers and walk away.. She kept cursing him under her breath while looking around different shops.. It has been 2 hours since she got out and nothing interesting was around to see.. Atlast giving up she makes her back to the hotel..

Shilpa walks inside the hotel making her way to Reception Area..
Shilpa : Can i have the keys...
Receptionist : Mam Mr.Mallik just collected it few minutes ago...
Shilpa shifted uncomfortably thinking whether to go back to room or not.. How long could she avoid him anyways.. No matter how much she would try she would have to go back with him only.. Shilpa gives a smile to the girl starts to walk away when the Receptionist stops her..
Receptionist : Excuse me Mam..
Shilpa : Yeah ?
Receptionist : Actually mam Mr.Mallik went back to room quickly before i could say a word.. Mam i want to say sorry on behalf of management if you both have faced any inconvenience..
Shilpa : Sorry for what.. I dont understand..
Receptionist : Well Mam two days before Mr.Mallik called and told us to arrange two rooms for him.. But due to this conference guests have filled up the hotel and we were able to arrange on one Room.. We are very sorry if you have faced any problem..
Shilpa stared at her as the words sinked in her brain rising her guilt.. She kicked herself mentally for overeacting in small matters.. He was actually speaking the truth.. Why couldnt she be normal around him anytime.. Shilpa forces a smile and turns to the girl..
Shilpa : No its fine.. We are having a good time.. thank you..
Nodding her head she makes her way back to the room with a heavy heart..

Hesitating for a minute Shilpa knocks the door softly while thinking of a way to say sorry to him.. Before she knew the door was open and he pulled her inside roughly closing the door with a bang.. He pins her to the door while staring at her in anger with such a intensity which made her rooted on the spot.. She didint even have courage to struggle under his hold.. So she just kept staring at him with wide eyes seeing a strange anger in them..
Armaan : WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU... ??
Shilpa trembled in anger as she heard the anger in his voice..
Shilpa : I.. Just went out..
Armaan : What you mean by out.. What were you doing outside alone for such a long time.. What if you got lost.. For godsake this is not India for you to roam around wherever you want..
Shilpa glared at him as her own anger rose..
Shilpa : Firstly , I am not a KID... !! Secondly you were the one who told me to do whatever i want...
Armaan : I didint say you to go and get lost in unknown roads.. I told you to do whatever you want here..
Shilpa : I am not your prisoner to be locked inside the room forever..
Armaan : You know what.. You are just impossible.. You are proving it from morning..
Shilpa opened her mouth to argue but as she heard him mention about morning the guilt cameback in her heart.. She looked away from him and closed her eyes calming herself..
Shilpa : I am sorry...
Armaan : What.. I didint get.. ?
Shilpa : I said i am sorry...
Armaan : Keep your sorry to yourself.. I dont need it..
Shilpa looked at him clenching her fist but reminding herself not to start the fight.. Armaan walks back to the room leaving behind Shilpa who calms herself and then walks back inside.. As she walks in she notice him working on some papers kept on the table.. Armaan looked up as he noticed Shilpa who stood infront of him looking here and there.. Ignoring her he gets back to his work.. And then after several minutes he feels her stare at him which irritates him to the core..
Armaan : WHAT... !!
Shilpa : Why do you always have to be rude...
Armaan : I am rude only with specific people..
Shilpa looks away trying to control her anger reminding herself she just wanted to say sorry..
Shilpa : Have you forgiven me... ?
Armaan : I told you i dont need your sorry...
Shilpa : But i am sorry..
Armaan : Which i dont need..
Shilpa felt like pulling out her hair.. This man was not tolerable enough to even say Sorry.. She looked at the balcony and decided to spend sometime there until he leaves.. As she was about to go she notice the juice bottle which was kept beside Armaan in the sofa he set.. As she sees it she realizes how thirsty she was feeling.. The Arrogant man had ruined her appetite since she had come here..
Shilpa : Can i have the juice plzz.. ?
Armaan : Excuse me..
Shilpa points to the bottle beside him gritting her teeth..
Shilpa : Orange juice.. I want it..
Armaan : Thats mine.. I dont want to share..
Shilpa looks at him shaking her head..
Shilpa : You are such a freak... I just want a sip..
Armaan looks at her narrowing his eyes and decides to forget the argument.. He hands over the bottle to Shilpa which she takes lazily.. Unfortunately the lid of the bottle was loose.. Ooopzz..
The bottle instantly fell from her hand down on the papers he was working on.. It splashed on every single paper ruining them forever.. Shilpa gasped loudly horrified.. She backed away sensing the outburst which was gonna come from him now.. She noticed Armaan looking down on his paper stunned.. He looked at her glaring in anger while throwing away the bottle in anger.. Shilpa tried to think of an excuse quickly but she knew it was usless..
Armaan : I cant believe you just did that.. You ruined my whole work..
Shilpa looks at him innocently..
Shilpa : I didint do anything.. Dr. Armaan Mallik...
Armaan : So you mean the bottle fell itself..
Shilpa : I didint mean that.. I was saying..
He interrupts her words rudely..
Armaan : DO you even know how important that was for me.. You have ruined my whole presentation.. What am i gonna take to conference now.. I was such a idiot to bring you here even.. It looks like you are taking revenge on me.. For what.. ? Cauxe i paid of your debts.. ? If i knew you are that offended cauxe i paid your money i wouldnt have even bothered to waste my money on it..
He stopped his words as he notice pain in her eyes and tears welled up in them instantly.. He was surprised.. Truly .. He never saw her cry hearing his words.. She was brave she had guts to reply every word of him.. And then he realized his mistake here.. The talk of debts.. He close his eyes running a hand through his hair.. And then she starts to sob which makes him turn still at once..
Armaan : Shilpa.. i didint..
Shilpa : First of all.. You are such a jerk here i was trying to say sorry to you and you are buxy showing your arrogance.. I never say sorry to anyone until i mean it.. Until i have the guilt of doing something wrong.. And talking about ruining your work you are a careless idiot who cant even keep a lid of bottle tight and still you say i ruined your work.. I am not going to say sorry this time but that doesnt mean you can show off all your anger on me everytime.. And about debts.. I told you before also you shouldnt have interfered in the mess..
She ran out of the room leaving behind Armaan still rooted on the spot.. Blinking at the door he took a seat in the sofa thinking about the pain in her voice.. Unknowingly he had brought out the unwanted talk.. He had taken out all the frustration of work on her.. Closing his eyes he tries to calm his mind when realization strucks to him.. Did she just ran away again... Swearing under his breath he takes his coat and key and walk out of the room hastily..

After spending half and hour looking for her he walked across a small pub.. He stopped and looked through the window as he noticed her sitting in a corner table away from people.. Slowly he walks inside and makes his way towards her... He notice several food items placed on table half eaten.. Half not even touched.. Shaking his head he takes a seat beside her... He felt thankful that she made no move to back away from him.. Instead she sat silently without a word staring at the space.. He tries to gather up some words when she speaks sniffing..
Shilpa : I am not paying for this..
He looks at her amused and shakes his head..
Armaan : No worries.. You got mad cauxe of me.. I pay for this.. Well i spoke to the incharge of Conference before coming here.. They have postponed the conference for two days.. So i have good enough time to print out the presentation and work on it..
Shilpa : Good for you...
After several minutes of silence she looked at him and spoke gently..
Shilpa : I am not angry that you paid the money.. I was glad you helped me...
Armaan looks down guiltily...
Armaan : I know.. Am sorry for whatever i said in the room.. I just spoke rubbish i didint mean it..
Shilpa : Even i speak rubbish.. And i was really sorry for today..
Armaan : Its ok ...
Shilpa : Excuse me.. I am not sorry anymore..
He glance at her with a amused smile..
Armaan : Ahan.. Again changed mind..
Shilpa : Yes.. Cauxe you are such a Arrogant Man.. Waiter.. !!
Armaan : Wait a minute.. I thought you wanted me to pay..
Shilpa : Ofcourse you are paying.. I am calling him to order something..
Armaan looks around the table and looks back at her..
Armaan : Still not full..
Shilpa ignores him and turns to waiter making her order.. Armaan's ears get alert at once hearing what she has ordered..
Armaan : Ohhh NO way.. You are not drinking Tequila..
Shilpa : Yes i am.. And you are taking shots with me..
Armaan stares at her dumbly while she coolly waits.. Soon the waiter comes with the shots.. Shilpa proceeds to take on glass when Armaan holds her hand..
Armaan : I didint knew you are drinking type..
Shilpa : I am not.. But today i want to loosen up... Wont you try with me.. ?
Armaan : NO...
Shilpa : Woow a straight no.. Are you scared Armaan Mallik..
Armaan looked at her challenging eyes..
Armaan : Never...
Before she knew he took two shots at once and soon it increased to five.. As he placed the glass on the table Shilpa looked at him in awe and blurted out..
Shilpa : Wow...
Armaan : Now ur turn..

Armaan and Shilpa walked inside their room laughing hard totally high after getting drunk.. Shilpa walked in her drunk state to the balcony she took a seat there looking up in the sky grinning.. She looked at Armaan laughing who stood there confused about his surroundings..
Shilpa : You look chooo cute Almaan...
Armaan : I want to go home..
Shilpa : We are home.. See there is bed, TV , fridge, Phone everything...
Armaan stares at her for a minute and smiles like a idiot..
Armaan : Ohh We are home.. I thought we have landed in space.. This space is so high..
Shilpa : I know... Look look there is Eiffel tower..
Armaan looks at the building infront of them focusing his eyes and sits beside Shilpa clumsily...
Armaan : Shilpa.. Eiffel Tower is in Palis...
Shilpa : Palis...
Armaan : Are you deaf.. I said PARIS...
Shilpa : No No You said Palis..Lier..
Armaan slowly place his head on her shoulder and pouts..
Armaan : I miss my parents..
Shilpa pulls his head back hugging him lazily...
Shilpa : Me tooo..
Armaan : No no You have a Papa.. But i dont have papa even..
Shilpa : Awww Dont be so sad you know you can share my Papa
Armaan : Reallyyy
Shilpa : Yeshhh
Armaan : You are cute.. Sometimes..
Shilpa : You are also handsome.. Sometimes... When you shout you are ugly.. When you kiss you are... handsomeee...
Armaan : I want to be handsome.. Can i kiss you...
Shilpa : mmm...
Armaan starts to move down to her when she suddenly places a finger on his lips..
Shilpa : Wait a minute... Where is a mommy for me..
Armaan looked at her confused and then a pout came on his lips..
Armaan : I dont have any mommy to give..
Shilpa smiles widely and pokes his cheeks...
Shilpa : Its okkk... I am sleepyyy Almaan..
Armaan takes her hand and walks inside the room trying to maintain his balance.. But he launch himself on the bed and close his eyes..
Armaan : I want to sleep on you bed..
Shilpa looked at him rubbing her eyes and jump on him making him groan in pain...
Shilpa : And i want to sleep on you..
Armaan open his eyes and looks down at her dreamily.. He shifts making her lie under him.. He placed his head on her neck with a smile..
Armaan : I like sleeping like this..
Shilpa : But i hate you...
Armaan looked up in her eyes..
Armaan : You really really hate me..
Shilpa looks at him half asleep and mumbles
Shilpa : Not Really Really...
Armaan : Then you love me.. ?
She tries to answer his words but soon dizziness takes over her as her eyelids gets heavy taking her into sleep with the last memory of his fingers pulling the straps of her dress down...

**********************************************************


She woke up grumpily adjusting her eyes into the morning light.. A immense headache kept irritating her to the core... Shilpa slowly rubbed her forehead closing her eyes trying to recollect any memory of last night.. What was she doing.. And how did she end up in the room.. She tried to focus more on the events but the last thing she remembered was taking Tequila shots with Armaan.. TEQUILA... !!! Her eyes shot up open once she realized she had actually dared to drink alcohol... Then again a another realization swept through her as she remembered Armaan was the first one to take the shots.. Not only one did he really dare to take 5.. Shilpa sits up glancing around the room looking for him when she hears the bathroom door open , He comes out of a fresh shower draped in a towel while drying his hair with a another.. She couldnt help but admire seeing his strong muscled arms, a fit body which made him look more of a hunk.. Everything was perfect about him.. Every single part of him.. Shilpa snapped out of her dreamy thoughts feeling his amused gaze on her.. She mentally kicked herself for checking him out soo openly.. What was wrong with her.. There was a new feeling budding inside her which always made her loose her senses infront of him.. Controlling her inner emotions she glanced up at him to notice a cautious , hesitant look on his face..
Armaan : Umm Shilpa.. I guess you would like to cover up fully..
Confusion flooded through her mind as she glanced at herself consciously.. OHH FREAK ... !! She was nearly NAKED .. No she was actually naked totally.. Where was her dress.. Her heart felt like it was about to come out of her mouth once.. WHAT THE HELL WAS THIS HAPPENING.. !! Shilpa quickly draped the sheets around her body quickly and glanced at Armaan who walked near dressing table brushing his hair acting as if nothing really happened.. Questions started flooding through her mind like a rail.. What was happening why was she naked.. The last thing she wished was finding herself naked infront of the Arrogant Mallik.. Was this a dream... ? It better me her worst dream as she still count swallow everything as a reality.. Just then small bits of memories of last night rushed in her head.. She was drunk.. No they both were drunk high.. She remembered making her way to the hotel with him.. They did some talking.. She couldnt gather up what they talked about.. But blur images came in her mind reminding her there was some talks.. And then both landing up on the bed.. His hands running on the strap of her dress pulling it down.. Did he.. ?? OH YES it was Armaan who took of her dress.. She remembered that much.. YES YES.. Gathering the sheets securely around her body she got up from the bed and marched towards him in fury.. Armaan sees her reflection in the mirror , looking ready to kill him in the spot.. He swallowed and turned around only to get a hard smack on his cheek...
Shilpa : HOW COULD YOU... !!!
Armaan : WHAT.. !! You are acting as if i have raped you..
Shilpa stared at him fuming not knowing what to say to him.. Too much kept running in her mind.. She felt again herself getting distracted seeing the half naked body of his..
Shilpa : Will you dress up fully for godsake..
Armaan : I can do that but that sheets are not going to support to like forever.. You see accidents do happen..
He grinned at her shamelessly making her anger grow.. She held the sheets tightly not willing to expose infront of him..
Armaan : Anyways whats their to hide anymore.. I have already seen you naked...
Shilpa : You know what.. You name needs a extension.. Arrogant Shameless Mallik...
Armaan : Nice initials.. ASM...
Shilpa : Will you stop your nonsense and explain me everything.. And your explanation better be good enough cauxe i do remember you taking of my dress... How could you.. You are such a jerk Armaan Mallik..
He stared at her with a arrogant smile on his face..
Armaan : Well let me recall whatever happened.. Hmm As far as i remember you were the one who started.. You forced me to drink that tequila..
Shilpa points a finger at him protesting...
Shilpa : I didint force you.. You are such a liar..
Armaan : Soo madam stop putting all fault on me.. You are equally responsible with me for whatever happened last night..
She looked at him with a thudding heart..
Shilpa : Last night what happened last night..
He stared at her blankly without a word while she crossed her fingers praying to hear something soothing.. NO NO plzzz I didint sleep with this Armaan Mallik.. NO way...!!
Armaan : I dont remember...
Shilpa : Huh... ? What do u mean that you dont remember..
Armaan : Excuse me.. I was drunk like you last night.. Do you really expect me to remember anything about last night..
Shilpa looked at him trying not to show the fear in her face.. Did really something happened between them last night..
Shilpa : Am sure nothing happened between us...
Shilpa looks away from him and start to walk away when he speaks out loud..
Armaan : I dont agree with you...
Her heartbeat raised at once while he stared at her dead serious...
Armaan : I was in same condition when i woke up.. And our positions.. Well i dont think you would be much elated to know about it..
Shilpa stared at him stunned while he walked pass from her to the cupboard picking up his clothes while she took a seat on the bed trying to absorb what he said..

2 weeks later :

Two weeks passed in a blur which turned out two horrible weeks for Shilpa as she kept trying to accept the hard reality.. After what happened that day Shilpa didint wish to get out of her hotel room.. The same behavior she maintained in the plane eventhough she had the landing and takeoff sickness.. The last thing she wished to do was take his help knowing she might have actually slept with him in drunken condition.. That made a uneasy feel rise in her body everytime.. Knowing he might have touch her like no other person touched before.. But after she came back to Mumbai she became more suspicious towards the thought.. She didint feel any sort of change in her.. She should have .. If she really had spent a night with him.. But he was soo sure about it.. Did he really remember something about the night.. Was he hiding something from her.. ? Shilpa noticed how he got engrossed in his work as they came back from the trip.. In this two weeks she hardly saw him around the hospital and mostly her duty was with Dr.Anjali who oftenly questioned her about the trip.. Part of her was relieved knowing she didint have to confront with him but also she did felt more curious on his behavior as the days passed...
Shilpa came out of her thoughts as she felt a tap on her shoulder.. She looked up to see Anjali looking her with a smile..
Anjali : Dr. Shilpa.. Done with your breaktime.. ?
Shilpa gets up hasitly...
Shilpa : Ohh yeah i am.. Sorry Dr. Anjali i will go for rounds now..
Anjali : Wait wait.. I am not here to call you back.. Infact my duty with you has ended.. Dr.Armaan has told me to send you to him...
Her heart started beating wildly as she thought of how to face him again.. It was not easy.. Not after what happened in that stupid night.. Giving a nod Shilpa walks away with a thudding heart..

Armaan kept reading his file when he noticed Shilpa walking inside his cabin.. Keeping away the file he gets up with a smile walking towards her.. Shilpa at once backed away seeing him getting close..
Armaan : Hello Dr.Shilpa.. You missed me..
Shilpa moved away from him taking a seat to avoid closeness with him..
Shilpa : Why would i miss you..
Armaan :Well after what happened..
Shilpa snaps at him angrily..
Shilpa : I dont wish to talk about that stupid night...
Armaan : Stupid night.. ? I have a feeling it must have been a special night..
Shilpa : How do you know.. ? As you said you have no memory of that night..
Armaan smiles and bends down to her close enough to sense the nervousness running through her.. He felt a excitement run through his veins seeing the flushed look on her face... He moved his lips near her ear and whispered huskily..
Armaan : Yes i dont have any memory.. But i was thinking since we might have shared something in unconscious state why not start it in conscious state.. ?
Shilpa trembles hearing his words.. She tries to put a warning look on her face but kept getting unsuccessful in it..
Shilpa : Dont you dare..
Armaan : Ohh no i love daring... Did i say to you i am glad to see u in western clothes today...
Shilpa opens her mouth to protest but her words come to a halt as he start to kiss her hungrily.. She couldnt help but feel how sensuously his lips moved on hers.. Not only one time everytime.. But today there was something different about his kiss.. It was more of demanding kiss , asking her to respond to him to increase the level of passion between them.. She moaned softly as his lips traveled down from her chin to her neck trailing the soft skin teasing her.. Her eyes shot up as he gave a bite on her neck teasingly making her gasp in a mixture of pain and pleasure.. His hands worked down on the straps of the dress slowly pulling them down exposing her creamy white skin infront of his eyes.. He traced his lips on her shoulder and collarbone merely teasing her in every kiss.. He moved up and stared at her with such a passion which made her heart jump in excitement and fear.. A mixture which she could figure out.. His eyes showed something he wanted from her... This time he kissed her with such a authority and passion that she couldnt help but respond back to him with eagerness.. Never in her life she met such a person who could drive her crazy in one second.. Just one look from him.. One touch.. Even his presence effected her.. She wanted to deny the fact but everytime he came close to her she forgot everything.. Lost in his charm she felt her own hands opening few buttons on his shirt.. Placing her hand on his heart she moved on his neck trailing soft kisses making him groan.. She held him close while nibbling on his neck trailing her lips upto his earlobe, when suddenly a knock brings them back into reality.. Realizing what she was doing she push him away awkwardly correcting herself while Armaan quickly buttons up his shirt avoiding her gaze.. He moves away and opens the door to see Rahul standing with a amused look..
Rahul : What took you so long..
Armaan quickly looked at Shilpa who looks away embarrassed..
Armaan : We were buxy in some work..
Rahul : Some work.. You both were soo much involved in the work that you guyz didint hear me knocking repeatedly..
All of a sudden Shilpa felt a uneasiness rise in her chest.. She started to feel dizzy while her mouth went dry with the feeling of puking inside her.. NO NO she was not going to Vomit here.. Not in his office.. Shilpa slowly covers her mouth while gripping the chair tightly...
Armaan : I have told you we were working Dr.Rahul..
Rahul opens his mouth to answer when he notice the pale look on Shilpa's face.. He notice her face all white ..
Rahul : Umm Bro.. Have a look at her..
Armaan glares at him and turns to Shilpa to notice a her face all white.. She looked like she was about to throw up.. THROW UP.. !! In his office..
Armaan : Go to washroom fast..
Shilpa didint need a second order she rushed inside his washroom while Armaan and Rahul stood stunned hearing her vomit inside..
Rahul : I guess she might have ate something bad..
Armaan looked away from Rahul his thoughts were stick on something else..
Just then they here a loud voice come from the washroom .. Armaan quickly rush inside to see Shilpa lying on the floor unconscious..

She opened her eyes weakly and looked at Armaan who stood near her bed glancing at her blankly... Everything swept in her mind at once.. Vomiting and then Fainting.. Shilpa slowly sits up on the bed avoiding his gaze..
Shilpa : Where are others ??
Armaan : I have sent them back to work.. And i needed to have talk with you alone.. ?
Shilpa looks away uneasily
Shilpa : I guess i must have ate something bad.. ?
Armaan : Ohh Really.. Stop amusing me..
Shilpa : Why would i do that.. ?
Armaan : Cauxe i feel you are trying to run away from the truth..
Shilpa : I am NOT running away from anything.. What truth there is no truth..
He looked at her with blankly while his voice full of seriousness..
Armaan : We both know something happened between us that night.. And this signs you are getting... Dont you think you might be pregnant.. ??
Dont you think you might be pregnant... Dont you think you might be pregnant.. The question kept running in her mind for a long time.. She stared at him with wide eyes trying to absorb the words.. PREGNANT.. !!! No she cant be Pregnant.. NO NO NOOO... !!!!

Precap : 😛

Finally here comes it.. !!

Shilpa : I have Already Told u I AM NOT PREGNANT... !!!
Armaan : Well I am saying.. Just in case..
Shilpa : Just in case is not even possible I know i am not pregnant For your kind information NOTHING happened between us..
Armaan : Well Sorry to inform you i dont believe in your words.. Mark my words if u Pregnant we get married within this week..
Shilpa : And what if i am not Pregnant...
Armaan : You really wanna know...
Shilpa : Ohh Yes i do...
Armaan : Well than if You are not pregnant.. We dont get married in this week
Shilpa : Thankgod...
Shilpa looks at him walk away with a arrogant smile on his face.. Just than he turns back to her with a smile which tells her something was cooking in his mind..
Armaan : Ohh Ya i forgot to tell you onething.. If you are not pregnant we will get married next month...
A stunned Shilpa comes back to reality as he starts to walk away..
Shilpa : YOU JERK !!... I Am not getting married to you... NEVER EVER AND I MEAN IT.. !!

*********************************************************************


She moved from one side to another trying to figure out what to say, what to do.. While Armaan stood looking at her without uttering a word.. Atlast making up her mind she turned to him calming herself..
Shilpa : First of all.. I know i am not pregnant.. And i dont wish to do any test regarding it...
He looked at her and rubbing his chin lightly..
Armaan : Well wont you feel much better if you do the test and prove your words correct.. ?
She kept avoiding his gaze nervously while he leaned his back on the wall looking at her every move.. After a while she spoke in a uncertain voice..
Shilpa : You dont understand.. I cant just..
Armaan : Why you cant .. I will tell Dr. Anjali to carry on it privately..
Shilpa looked at him and snapped..
Shilpa : Ohh Really.. !! So what should i go and say to her.. Dr.Anjali can i do pregnancy test cauxe i have a doubt in my mind that i am pregnant...
Armaan : But you just said so confidently you are not pregnant..
Shilpa : And i am still confident.. I dont want to embarrass myself infront of anyone..
Armaan shakes his head while frowning..
Armaan : Whats there to be embarrassed.. I guess you are forgetting that already some has doubt about you being pregnant..
Shilpa turned away getting frustrated..
Shilpa : I dont care what people think.. I just know i am not pregnant.. I AM NOT.. !!
She took a seat on the bed trying to calm her anger and frustration.. He noticed the tired look on her face..
Armaan : Would you like to do any work or you want to take a day off.. ?
Shilpa thought for a while and took a sigh feeling the weakness in her body.. Carrying on her duty was a bad idea for today.. And Working with Armaan after this pregnancy dilemma was far more worse...
Shilpa : I want to go home.. I dont think i have enough strength to do any work..
She got up from the bed adjusting her clothes.. Before walking out she glanced at him and spoke in a controlled voice..
Shilpa : And i am Still not willing to do any pregnant test.. I AM NOT PREGNANT... !!


Shilpa : I cant believe this.. Not even a single taxi is coming into view.. Could things get more worse...
And her answer came back to her instantly as she heard his deep voice behind her...
Armaan : Dr.Shilpa.. As i remember i gave u a day off...
Shilpa ignored him and kept her gaze stick on the road.. Not even a single taxi was in view.. Did she thought things wont get anymore worse.. If so she was truly wrong...
Armaan : Dr. Shilpa looks like you dont hear news at all.. There is taxi strike today..
Shilpa cursed under her breath trying to think for a way.. Bus Stand... !! She could ride back home in Bus...
Shilpa : All right i will take a bus back to home then..
Instantly he scowled hearing her words...
Armaan : Bus.. You must be joking... you are not even in a state to ride back home in the horrible vehicle..
Shilpa glared at him and spoke gritting her teeth..
Shilpa : I am totally fine Mr.Mallik.. And why are you caring about it anyways..
He ignored her words.. Without replying her question he took hold of her moving towards his car...
Shilpa : What are you doing... ? I can go myself..
Armaan glanced at her calmly..
Armaan : Let me drop you home..
Shilpa freed her hand from his grip and folded them..
Shilpa : No thanxs..
Armaan : Oh hello Madam.. I wasnt requesting you, I am telling you i will drop you home..
Shilpa : Sooo... ?
Armaan : I do what i want you should have realized it by now...
Without giving her a chance to speak he guides her into his car ignoring her protests.. As he took his seat and started the car she turned towards him to argue.. But Armaan interrupted her words smoothly..
Armaan : Why are you making yourself more weak by giving boost to our never ending fight.. ?
Shilpa considered his words for a minute.. Indeed she was wasting her own energy on the useless talk.. She leaned on her seat with a sigh thinking over the new problem in her life..

The next morning Shilpa woke up with the same giddiness and nauseous feeling.. And then she ended up vomiting several times.. She glanced at the time and groaned weakly... She didint have enough time to go and get ready for duty.. Neither she had any strength to get up and go for work..
After sometime Shashank came inside her room to see her lying on the bed with closed eyes.. As he came close he could clearly see the paleness in her face..
Shashank : Shilpa your sick.. Why didint you tell me before..
Shilpa opened her eyes hearing his voice.. She gave a weak smile to him..
Shilpa : Good morning Papa..
Shashank : First tell me how long have you been in this sickness.. I have a feeling this havent started from today..
Shilpa looked away from him as she remembered about the pregnancy talk.. The least thing she wished to do was talking about to him.. She was herself not in a dilemma to believe .. She cant say about to him .. Not yet..
Shilpa : From yesterday.. I guess i ate something bad which has led to a bad stomach.. I am not feeling so well right now..
Shashank : You look terrible Shilpa.. I dont think you are in a condition to go hospital..
Shilpa nodded her head considering his words..
Shilpa : I know Dad.. Let me call and inform..
Shashank : Yes please call and tell them.. Until than i will bring juice for you..
Shilpa nodded and dialed hospital number closing her eyes..
Nurse : Goodmorning Sanjeevani Hospital..
Shilpa : Hello.. Its Dr.Shilpa calling.. Actually i wanted to inform that i want be able to attend my duty today my health is pretty bad.. Could you plss inform Dr.Anjali or umm Dr.Armaan..
Nurse : Sure i will do Dr.Shilpa..
Just than Someone interrupted the talk of nurse and next she heard Armaan's voice making her heartbeat rise at once..
Armaan : Dr.Shilpa... ?
Shilpa : Uhh.. Yes Dr.Armaan.. Actually..
He interrupt her talk instantly..
Armaan : You are not feeling well..
Shilpa hesitated for sometime before answering..
Shilpa : Yes.. I just called to inform about it..
There was a long pause from his side.. And then he spoke calmly..
Armaan : Fine Dr.Shilpa...
And the line went dead .. Shilpa placed her phone down and closed her eyes.. A unknown fear kept rising in her heart as she gave a thought on her sickness.. She had the fear his words might become true...

And the whole day went on with the same sickness running in her body.. But by next morning her vomiting and dizziness stopped which gave a big relief to her.. She was glad she took two days off from hospital.. It was needed as she had to gain some energy and also set her mind.. She sat up on the bed to get some water when she heard someone speak behind her.. Shilpa : Dad i told you..
Her words came to a halt as she stared at the person walking inside her room.. Non other than Armaan Mallik.. He was dressed in his regular office attire and she couldnt help stare at him in daze.. This two days went on horrible , Still she couldnt help but miss his presence near her..
Armaan : Goodmorning Shilpa..
Shilpa recovered from her stupid thoughts and looked at him raising her eyebrow..
Shilpa : Only Shilpa.. ? I thought Dr.Shilpa was the trademark name for me..
Instead of frowning he flashed a devastating smile at her making her nervousness rise at once..
Armaan : Hmm Just the same way you gave me the name Arrogant Shameless Mallik...
Shilpa looked away as the memory of their talk came at once..
Shilpa : What are you doing here...
He set beside her making her back away instantly.. He rolled his eyes seeing her move..
Armaan : Dont worry i am not going to rape you..
Shilpa : Still you havent said why you are here.. ?
Armaan : You were sick.. And i am not having anyone to give duties for now.. Soo i thought why not come and meet the sick lady..
Shilpa : Dont call me that.. I am totally fine now... Wait a minute.. How did you get in my house Dr.Mallik..
Armaan : Well you dad let me in.. I guess i have made a good impression on him by helping you.. Half of my work is done easily..
Shilpa : Excuse me... ?
He ignored her talks and spoke with a serious look..
Armaan : Whats happening now.. ? Still vomiting and Dizziness.. ?
Shilpa hesitated at first and then gave a silent nod.. She waited for him to talk but he kept quiet.. Still not getting any reply she looked back to see Armaan back on his feet ready to leave.. She knew he was ready to go, but still had his gaze fixed on her..
Armaan : Why are you running away from the truth Shilpa.. ? I guess its high time you accept the truth now...
She stared at him stunned while he left the room without saying a word further.. And then she came back to reality realizing what he has just said.. Accept the truth.. ? Not So fast Mr.Mallik...

Armaan walked out to the living room to see Shashank who was buxy reading newspaper.. Hesitating for a minute he spoke..
Armaan : Uhh I guess i will leave now.. Thank you for letting me in Uncle..
Shashank looked up and gave Armaan a warm smile..
Shashank : Sure anytime.. Am glad you came to have a check on her.. Its nice to be concerned about your own employees...
Armaan shifted uncomfortably and forced a smile before walking out..

Shilpa slowly came into the living room looking around..
Shilpa : Dad .. Where is he.. ?
Shashank : He just left Shilpa.. Why what happened..
Shilpa glanced at window when she spotted Armaan walking outside...
Shilpa : One minute Dad i will be right back...
She walked outside putting up her energy...
Shilpa : Wait a minute Mr.Mallik... !!
Armaan turned back to see Shilpa standing infront of him.. From her look he understood she has just came ready for a big war..
Shilpa : So.. What truth were you talking about .. ?
Armaan : We both know very well what i am talking about.. You are pregnant.. !
Her anger level rose at once...
Shilpa : I have Already Told u I AM NOT PREGNANT... !!!
Armaan : Well I am saying.. Just in case..
Shilpa : Just in case is not even possible I know i am not pregnant... For your kind information NOTHING happened between us..
Armaan : Well Sorry to inform you i dont believe in your words.. Mark my words if u Pregnant we get married within this week..
Shilpa looked at him horrified hearing his words.. MARRIED.. She have to marry this Arrogant Man.. NO WAY.. !! Still trying to control her anger she spoke calmly..
Shilpa : And what if i am not Pregnant...
Armaan : You really wanna know...
Shilpa : Ohh Yes i do...
Armaan : Well than if You are not pregnant.. We dont get married in this week
She took a breath of relief at once..
Shilpa : Thankgod...
Shilpa looks at him walk away with a arrogant smile on his face.. Just than he turns back to her with a smile which tells her something was cooking in his mind.. He was surely planning something worse..
Armaan : Ohh Ya i forgot to tell you onething.. If you are not pregnant we will get married next month...
A stunned Shilpa comes back to reality as he starts to walk away..
Shilpa : YOU JERK !!... I Am not getting married to you... NEVER EVER AND I MEAN IT.. !!
He didint turn.. Instead he walked upto his car ignoring her words.. She tried to calm the frustration and anger which kept building with every passing minute... What the hell did this guy want from her.. She gave a thought about the consequences calmly.. If she was pregnant she would have to get married in a week.. ? It would be a disaster for her.. But what was with his next condition... If not pregnant still she had to marry.. And that was onething she wasnt ever gonna do.. EVER.. !!
She made up her mind while walking inside.. But instantly she stopped as his words came back ringing in her mind.. I guess its high time you accept the truth now... She tried hard to deny it.. She did her best.. But slowly slowly everything sank in her heart like a harsh reality.. She was having every symptoms of pregnancy.. Would it really mean she was pregnant... Was she really Pregnant with Armaan Mallik's child... ? If so the worst disaster was ready to hit her by next week... !!
