MY FOREVER WITH YOU

CHAPTER-32

He let me think. Not to forget Arjun was right we both have barely started with our careers, agreeing with dad's suggestion I have been learning more about science journalism.

I was not yet ready. I mean it was the biggest step to be responsible to a new life. Maybe I just needed to hear Arjun's reasoning. Yeah, parenting could wait.

Clutching his wrist, I shook my head looking in his eyes. He kisses my forehead, he leans away with a doubtful expression, the perplexities in his gaze reemerging my anticipation, "Honestly, I think we shouldn't-

The loud ringtone of his phone interrupts his words. He reaches for his phone from the center table answering it, I impatiently wait for him to resume whatever he was about to say. He ends the call with another kiss to my temple assuring me we'd continue talking about it in the evening and leaves abruptly.

What was he about to say?

But we didn't get to converse further as his mood for the next few days appeared to be extremely stressful. I postponed the topic, not willing to discuss anything that'd stress him more.

If only I did, I wouldn't have to deal with these blend of edgy emotions.

Shifting my head to side, realizing I have managed to sleep for couple of hours. Feeling little better I get on with quick morning routine. Returning to his side, I dab the damp cloth on his face noticing his scruff was denser. Leaning down I kiss his mole, my mark like the way he states.

Sudden movements behind his closed eyelids sprout hope. He seemed to be coming out of his unconsciousness.

'Please, please, please Arjun... I keep chanting.'

Frantically glancing around, I trudge quickly to curtain the window partially for not straining his eyes with bright lights. Rushing back to his side, I clasp his hand tightly, gawking at his every tiny movement.

His eyes blink open, I hold my breath as he takes time to adjust to the surrounding.

I can't stop chuckling in relief driving his attention on me. I kiss his forehead firmly, pressing the bell next to his bed to alert the doctor. I help him sit upright slowly, he sighs tiredly due to the weakness. Not leaving his hand, I fill the glass of water guiding him to drink it slowly.

I wait with bated breath as he parts his lips, amber eyes looking intently at me. The door was pushed inside, still I keep my eyes at him. Why does he appear so confused?

"Who are you?"

It takes me several seconds his words sink in, my mind drawing a blank. I don't even blink. He don't remember me? Oh my god!!

"No one to you and already married to someone else."

Prithvi walks in with doctor Siddharth, I dumbly just keep staring at Arjun. As doctor breathes a chuckle get with performing certain routine. Arjun's confused expression morphs into dark scowl. 

Unknowingly, he tightens my hand, jaw clenched pointedly glaring at Prithvi, "Say that again, you will be the next occupying this hospital bed. My fists would make sure your stay extends for weeks together,"

Doctor interrupts their banter, "Now, now both of you please refrain from using any sort of disturbing words. And Mr. Arjun Rajvansh, I'd suggest you not to prank about the situation. Your family, friends' especially your wife had been with enough torment while you were in unconscious state."

"Exactly, stop bitching and worrying Meera with your third grade acting." Prithvi warn, folding his hands to his chest.

Only now does Arjun snaps his attention on me, I can't believe this man. He was pranking in this condition!! Averting my eyes, I pry my hand from his grip choosing to stand away from his bed and observe as Doctor reviews his condition.
