Pranav and Maya got married and are living in abroad. Small but pretty house with wooden interior and minimal furniture. Warm and Nice, Pranav is a full time trekker, And Maya is working from home since the pregnancy. Even after having a beautiful life, a pretty house and a job which pays more than enough she was not happy. She couldn’t remember the last time when they actually talked to each other, when he touched her or kissed her. But she couldn’t complain, because he was never ready to get married as he wanted to travel all the places in his wishlist and he thought perhaps marriage will just bind him around responsibilities, after she convinced him that he can persue these things after being married too, now there was nothing she could say about it. He was hardly at home, even when he was, he would just play games or watch TV or go out to meet his friends.
She was sulking, she didn’t fell in love with the person who wouldn’t even ask her if she is alright or would just say “I missed you all these days” In that moment she thought everything ended.
Arjun, Maya’s Bestfriend was there with her all the time to make sure every thing is alright as there was some complications with her pregnancy, she would cry talking to him not knowing what to do. It was devastating. One day they both were talking about the circumstances and he was consoling him, Pranav entered through the main door and heard her saying “I can never say this to him, he’ll leave me” and immediatey misunderstod that she cheated on him and came to the living room to confront them. As he saw his hand on her stomach and she was crying he thought of things which were not true and said “how could you do this to me?” she wiped her tears and asked him surprisngly “hey what happened?” He said “I heard every fucking thing, how could you cheat on me with him, all these years you were you sleeping with him and now is this his baby? She said shockingly ” what noo!!!! how can you even think of me something like that” He couldn’t take it and rushed to the door saying “I can’t take this, I am leaving, have a happy fucking life you too” Maya and Arjun both went after him making him understand it was a misunderstanding. Maya was continously calling him, holding his arm trying to stop him, telling him nothing happened, “I don’t want to listen anything” Pranav pushed her unintentionally in rage and she fell on the ground hitting her on the stomach and she shouted in pain. He turned around thinking what did he do and immediately picked her up in his arms to take her upstairs in the bedroom. She fainted immediately. Arjun called the doctor and both were frightened. Doctor gave her some medicine and inform them to let her sleep for a while confirming that nothing happened to her or the baby. They both came downstairs and Arjun started shouting at him. “What the fuck do you think you’re doing? We didn’t sleep together, infact I don’t even have feelings for her in that manner. you have no fucking idea how much she loves you and can never even think to cheat on you.” “But I heard you guys saying she can’t tell me otherwise i’ll leave her!” “Did you anywhere heard her saying something which implicates cheating?” “umm no but” ” You wanna know what was it? She is dying from inside, she is all alone, she is managing every fucking thing and you know nothing about it, do you even know there’s a chance of premature delivery which is dangerous for her? but how would you know? you’re way too busy with your wanderlust! ” “But she never told me anything” “When will she? You hardly come for a few days in the whole fucking year and how many times have you asked her how is she? How many times have you actually sat with her and asked how everything was? ” ” I told her to speak to you and she was stubborn to not say anything because when you both were getting married she told you you can persue what you want to and she and the responsibiltites will never come in between. She is way too guilty to tell you to sit back at home for some time and be with her! She still keeps you over everything else and that’s what we were talking about when you came and just got it all wrong” His eyes were filled with tears thinking of what all she faced alone without even letting him know about it. He suddenly realised that those years felt like a regret when his happiness actually was with her, that he could have done all the things and be around her as well. Pranav immediately went upstairs and saw Maya sleeping, tears flooding down his cheeks thinking about the thought, what if he had lost her or his baby. He kissed her cheeks and held her hand apologising and in no time everything went back to normal…
