Threads Of Destiny (Rudra & Naina)

Another one and half year later.

Naina's pov.

"You are pregnant, Mrs oberoi."

A wave of emotion passes through me as I look at the paper in front of me.

Pregnancy test positive

There's happiness but there's fear too. So much of fear. My heart is literally beating out of my chest.

I am pregnant. Again. For the third time.

"How far along?" I ask the doctor.

"We will have to do the ultrasound to confirm it." She says.

I nod my head. I know that. I've been here before, twice. Once while I was carrying kiaan, and once...

Earlier today I was in my gallery, meeting a client who bought a painting worth a million dollars when I realised that I had missed my period this month and that I have been feeling so tired in these past couple of days.

I had missed my periods eight months ago too, i took a pregnancy text at the time and it came back positive. I told rudra and we were happy. But two weeks later I had a miscarriage. I was in the shower when I started bleeding profusely. I knew i was having a miscarriage before the doctor confirmed it.

The weeks that followed were so emotionally draining. For two days i just cried and blamed myself for loosing the child. Rudra held me in his arms and told me that we couldn't have done anything to save it since the doctor confirmed that it was an ectopic pregnancy and the child was bound to die.

I didn't see kiaan for two days, rudra's mom took him to their house since he is still little and he couldn't understand why his mother locked herself in the room and just cried.

I felt so guilty afterwards. I was mourning for the child I lost that I forgot I already have one who just wants me to hold him at night. So, the next morning I collected all the broken pieces of my heart, taped them back together and held my son in my arms until it healed something in me.

"Do you want me to give you an ultrasound? Just to see how the baby is doing?" She asks carefully, knowing my history really well.

I shake my head. "No..i need time."

"I understand that." She nods her head, "but you don't have to worry too much, last time was just a bad luck."

I know that.

But i also know that I can't look at the screen alone, without rudra here with me.

I get up from the chair and put the paper with the pregnancy results in my handbag, "I'll make an appointment."

"Sure."

I leave her clinic and find dhruv waiting outside for me in the car. Apart from a trusted guard he has also became a good friend. I mean I know he wouldn't keep anything a secret from rudra because he is loyal to him but I also know he wouldn't tell him something before I do.

"Everything okay?" He asks.

I nod my head and slide inside the car, "Did you tell rudra I came to the clinic?"

He looks at me through the rear view mirror before shaking his head. "No, I told him you were staying back to look over some bills."

"Thanks dhruv." I give him a small smile.

He smiles back warmly before driving towards the house.

"No dadda, that's cheating." I hear my son fight his dad over chess as soon as I enter the house.
