Chapter 58

Gautam's POV



But uncle, I just came home. There is no bun or cake in the oven. " She was so confused.

Oh God, she was so innocent. Was I really in love with a child? I am so dead...

" Oh, god !!! She is so cute and innocent. I mean beta, I know that you are having a baby together, so take care. I am so excited to know that you are pregnant. God bless you !! "

" What??????? What are you saying, uncle? How can I get pregnant? " She was as white as a paper.

" Umm aww... the same way everyone gets pregnant, beta. You stupid boy, you got her pregnant without her consent?? She is so naive, you took advantage of her?? I swear, I didn't expect this from you. " She again changed colour and started getting red.

" What rubbish, dad !!! "

" Shut up !! Let me talk to her. I am sorry for his stupidity. But now that you are pregnant... "

" Uncle no !! How can I get pregnant?"

" Beta... How do I explain?? You idiot, you should explain it to her. It doesn't look good, if I tell her, she is just like my daughter. Sorry beta, you need to ask him or your aunty. I mean would-be mom... " Her jaw met the ground.

Oh god!!! Dad, stop it. Maurvi was about to faint out of shame.

" I am not pregnant. I can't be pregnant... "

" Now c'mon... Why can't you be pregnant? That is rubbish beta, please accept the fact. There is nothing to be shy about. No need to hide it. We are not judging you... " Maurvi opened her mouth and then closed it. Again opened and closed it, but no sound came out.

" Oh, God !! Dad... please listen to me first. She is not pregnant. Please stop it or she might faint out of shyness. "

" Now you are trying to tell a lie... " dad glared at me.

" No... Why would I ? "

" I heard you talking about her being light-headed. And her saying that she may vomit the food out. You said that she needs to take care of her health. She must have more food. Then you said..."

" Dad, for god sake, calm down !! Listen, she is not pregnant. She can't be pregnant right now. "

" What does it mean that she can't get pregnant ? Sometimes contraceptives fail, you know very well. Explain it to her, she has been asking beta. She is confused. Don't teach me, I have two sons. " She was sitting with her face hidden in her palms. She is going to kill me for this.

" She knows about how... I mean, how to get pregnant... but she is not. Dad please, For God's sake, she is very shy and already is very embarrassed so please leave the topic."

" She is not...?"

" No..."

" Oh, ok !! I am sorry. But it is your fault. You were saying all those things. I saw that you panicked after talking to that girl, Prachi. Then I saw you forcing her to eat more saying that she needs to have more nutritious food. Then something about some pregnant... Acidity... "

" She fainted as she doesn't eat well. She said that she wanted to vomit as I was insisting her to eat more. Her classmate was pregnant, dad. "

" Oh, ok... God bless you both and thank God or I would have had to explain to her dad and you know that he is a bit conservative as compared to me. "

He looked at her and caught her both hands and removed them from her face and said, " Are you sure you like this stupid boy? Do think carefully as it is a bit difficult to spend your whole life with him. " She blushed beautifully and smiled.

" Gautam, You go home and wait for your mom. Let me talk to her. " Dad said to me.

" Dad you are being mean now. She loves me as much as I do. Now please, go home and let me talk to her, she was very nervous and is very embarrassed. Thanks to you."

" Ok, I am going. But don't be tense, there will be no problem, I will talk to Sudha. She would be very glad... Take care. " He side hugged her and she smiled. Dad went home after that.

" I didn't know, that you want to know, how can you be pregnant? "

" Please Gautam, stop it. "

" I can explain everything to you in detail... "

" Try that and I will kill you. "

" Can you please replace L with S in kill. "

" Oh please !! I don't want to talk to you. "

" Don't be angry, tomato. Take rest, see dad was so cool, so would be mom and let me tell you... you looked so beautiful when dad said that we were having kids together. I swear I wanted it to be true... I would have kissed you, if dad was not there... So how about a kiss now?

" No. "

" Please just one... "

" I am feeling very sleepy, good night. Please, don't tease me. "

" It is just 5 in the evening, mom will be here at any moment. Come and meet her. "

" Oh, please no ! Not today, I was shocked today. What is your plan for tomorrow? You have the gift for her right? "

" Yes, I am going to give that set we bought. I know she is going to love the surprise, I am going to give her. We are going out for dinner and I will take you with me and tell her about us. So don't take the stress. " I said and gave a quick peck on her cheek and came out.

The moment I entered the home I saw my dad sitting right there. Oh, God !!

" So she is not pregnant?"

" No, dad... "

" How can you be so sure? "

" I can be sure of it as we have not gone that far in this relationship, in fact we just confessed out feeling to each other. "

" Then how far have you reached in your relationship? "

" Dad !!! For God sake, you are my dad... Stop talking like that. She would have died of shame. She is so shy that even if I look at her or hold her hand or say that Can I kiss her... She turns into a tomato. "

" Oh, I am glad to hear that, sweet girl. Anyways, her dad would have killed you if what I assumed was true."

" Don't worry dad, he has always trusted his daughter with me, so I am not going to breach their trust. I want to ask for her hand respectfully. "

" That's like my son, proud of you. " Dad smiled at me.

Mom came back home, it looked like a home again. I hugged her tightly.

She smiled lovingly at me. Then Sid pushed me away... And hugged her. She looked so happy.

She ate the food and said,

" Where is Maurvi? It was sweet of her to cook this amazing food for us. "

" She was not feeling very well, when she came back, so she slept. You can meet her tomorrow... " Dad said and winked at me.

We spent some good quality time and then slept as mom and dad were tired.

In the morning, mom made some hot and nice breakfast. We all had to go for work as Sid was on leave for another week. So I told him to arrange everything.

Maurvi's POV

I was still red in cheeks, even though it has been more than an hour since uncle barged in my house. I went white as a paper when I realised that he thought that I was... Pregnant. Oh god, I wanted the earth to open up and swallow me. I couldn't even look at any of them... Oh, God!! How would I face him again??

Gautam sent him away and then asked me to relax as aunty would also accept our relationship. I wanted to meet her after so many days, but couldn't even dare to go and meet her today... I was embarrassed as hell.
