TRYING HARD (MEGHA'S POV)

It is been three days since I have come here to Chennai and lived with my father. These three days I did nothing other than going to the hospital, treat patients, talk to my little blip growing inside me and stay in my room. Krish has called me numerous times which I never picked up or returned and has sent too many messages which are left unread.

I woke up to the sound of the alarm. I freshen up and walk out of my room just to find Krish sitting on a couch in the living room. Why is he here now?

I had a happy feeling as I am seeing him after three long days but I shouldn't show it right of course I am angry with him.

"What are you doing here?", I questioned him angrily

"I came here to see uncle and you know I miss him so I will stay with him for a while", he said with a smirk. I know what that gesture of his mean, he isn't here for dad but for me, I thought. He took steps towards me and placed his hand on my stomach, I tried to move back from his touch but his other hand moved much faster held me tightly, and halted my moment. He caressed my belly and placed a kiss on it.

"Hello baby", he said

"I am not your baby", I raised my voice

"Who called you baby? I am talking about this kid growing inside you don't forget I am the father for him/her so please don't disturb our time"

"Yeah now I am no more your baby", I mumbled

"Megha you are always been my baby", he said. Holy crap! Did I tell that aloud? I slap his hand immediately and run to my room.

"Megha no matter what I will make it up to you. Baby, we will go home together very soon", he said

"Dream on", I shouted and slammed my room door.

Oh god, why is this person here now? My heart started pounding when he came nearer to me, my cheeks were flushed when he kissed my belly. I scolded my body for a while for reacting to his closeness and touch. Now, I should try to avoid him to my level best, I will make sure I won't be in the same room as him.

With my mind wandering around I lost the track of time, I am already late for the hospital. I hurriedly get ready and peeped out of my room to check if he is there. I couldn't spot him in the living room so I assumed that he might have gone out. I took this as a chance and ran out of the house.

I was waiting by the roadside waiting for the bus because in hurry I forgot my vehicle keys and going back get to fetch it will have maximum chances to run into the great Krish Malhotra. A car stopped in front of me. The windows rolled down revealing the driver who was none other than my husband.

"I guess you are already late, allow me to drop you", he suggested.

I had no other option left so I decided to let him drop me. As I settled in my seat he leaned closer to me, I started panicking and my heart started pounding so loudly. He fixed my seat belt and a slight disappointment settled in my heart. Why am I getting disappointed what were you expecting from him? Megha pulls yourself together remember you are angry with him.

Before starting the engine he intertwined his fingers with mine.

"What are you doing?", I asked him sternly

"Driving", he replied calmly

"Why are you holding my hand?"

"I am holding the hand of my child's mother"

"Smart ass", I said I try to pull my hand back

"If you let me hold your hand you can probably reach the hospital within 10 minutes but if you want me to let go of your hand then I will drop you at the hospital after an hour", he said and let him do whatever he wants.

Krish dropped me and then left. He is so irritating for heaven's sake. The whole day went calmly. During the lunch hour, he was again here. What does he want now?

"Megha come let's go for lunch", he said.

"I am not coming with you", I deny his offer

"I want to eat with my kid so you better come, you know the father and his kid should bind well with each other", he said. Not again so I agree with him.

We went to a nearby restaurant. I ordered all junk foods because I knew he hates when I eat unhealthy foods. As I started to gobble his face started showing reactions but he didn't dare to say a word to me. After food we paid and left.

Later that night I was sitting on my bed, reading a book. My leg started to hurt. I was above to get up to get the painkillers when a pair of strong veiny hands pulled me back to my sitting posture. It was Krish again, he slowly took my leg placed it on his lap, and started massaging me. I know he is trying hard to get me back and prove himself to me. It will be a lie if I say I am still angry with him but I need some more time alone.

"Krish", I called his name

"Hmm. Don't tell me to stop whatever I am doing, I know your leg is hurting badly so let me make you feel better", he said

"Not that"

"Then if you ask why I am here? My answer is you"

"Please go back to Bangalore Krish"

"No way"

"Please I need time", I was on the verge of crying

"Megha give me a second chance"

"Krish Malhotra choose now. Either you go back to Bangalore or I will go somewhere and this time no one will know where I am", I said.

I know he won't go back until and unless I blackmail him. He left after that without saying a word.
