Strings Of Love

Chapter 66

"Arey jab maine phone dekha hi nahi toh pata kaise chalega ki call aa raha hai?" He argued as well.

"Toh itne time ke baad phone check kiya? Last call ek ghante pehle kiya tha." She replied.

"Yaar." He sighed, she was so mad for an unknown reason and arguing was only going to make it worse, he realized. What if something actually went wrong?

"I'm sorry. Should have checked. Baat kya hai?" He asked.

"Finally tujhe janne ka mann hua? Sunn, mai shayad pregnant hu." She replied, quite angrily and heard tires screeching from the other side of the call followed by car honkings.

"Kyaaa?" He shouted, hitting the brakes immediately and pulling his car to the side when the cars behind him began to honk.

"Kya boli tu? Hello?" He asked again.

"I- I might be pregnant. Symptoms dikh rahe kuch kuch, test nahi kiya abhi tak. Kal karungi." She replied.

"K-kaise symptoms?" He inquired, not knowing how to deal with the news she just broke to him.

"Periods late hai, khane peene me mann nahi lag raha, bohot thakan thakan si ho rahi hai aur wo, meko laga ke mera pet bloated hai lekin do din se waise hi hai. I think actually me pet nikal raha hai." She told him.

"Periods ko chhod ke baki koi bhi mujhe symptoms jaise nahi lag raha. Are you sure you're not bloated?" He questioned, confused.

"Yaar Google ke according jo jo match hua, uske basis pe meko lag raha hai." She honestly replied and then they thought about it for a while.

"Sidharth?" After a complete minute of silence on both sides, she called out to him.

"Han?" He replied.

"What if I'm actually pregnant? I don't want to be pregnant." She asked, worriedly.

"We'll figure it out. Okay? Tu tension mat le. Mai aau tere pass?" He replied.

"Ha please aaja. Meko bohot darr lag raha hai." She replied, audibly worried.

"Thik hai, kal aata hu. I need to look for the flights now. Tu tension mat le, mai aa raha hu." He assured her, panicking himself.

"Jaldi aana." She mentioned one last time before they hung up.

Sidharth was too zoned out to start the engine again and kept thinking about the conversation he just had with his girlfriend. What if she was pregnant?

Their life was going to take a complete 180° turn in that case and yeah he'd be receiving an earful from her parents as well. Harjot was indeed a crazy woman! He immediately booked the next flight to Punjab and made his way home to pack for the short trip.

'What if I'm actually pregnant? I don't want to be pregnant.'

His hands stopped on their own accord when her words revolved around his head. The pregnancy might cause a couple of arguments but did she really mean what she said? What if they had already made the baby? What would she do then? There were no answers to his questions and it made him feel so anxious.

Calm down, he continued to pack and tried not to assume a made up situation inside his head and worry himself unnecessarily. It's going to be alright, even if they had already made the baby, they'd figure it out. He was sure, they'll be able to find an appropriate solution to it, even if it meant marrying her immediately so that their child wouldn't be an illegitimate.

Okay, you're doing it again! He suggested himself and took deep breaths, sleep however was far away thanks to the kinds of thoughts that were keeping him awake.

"Tu so rahi thi?" He finally dialed Shehnaaz's number to distract himself from such distraught and unrealistic thoughts.

"Nahi na, nind nahi aa rahi. Kal ke baare me soch soch ke." She replied.

"Mujhe bhi." He added.

"Kash mai raat ko test kar sakti, mere se raha hi nahi ja raha." She whined and he chuckled.

"Ab subha tak toh wait karna hi padega." He sighed.

"Hmm. Tu kal aa raha hai na?" She asked him.

"Ha, subha 8 baje ki flight hai. Aa raha hu." He replied.

"Ha, waise ghar pe bataya tune?" She asked again.

"Nahi. Subha bataunga." He replied.

"Rehne de, mat hi bata. Unko faltu tension nahi dete." She suggested.

"Hmm. Test positive aayega toh batana hi padega." He mumbled.

"Haaye, Sidharth! Shubh shubh bolna yaar." She told him.

"Tu nahi chahti test positive aaye?" He asked.

"Ofcourse! Kon pagal chahega positive aaye? Chachi maar dalenge mujhe!" She exclaimed, wondering what was wrong with him.

"Yeah, right. Yo-You're right. Absolutely." He replied, getting mad at her. "Sone ja raha hu. See you tomorrow." He added before hanging up. What was wrong with her? Why was she so adamant on not being pregnant?

"Ha bye-" she couldn't even complete herself when she heard the line was dead. She shook her head, changing her position to get herself some sleep.

Hello everyone! What's up you guys?

Why do you think Sidharth is reacting this way?

And same is the question for Shehnaaz's panic mode??

Who's being rational? And who's not??
