41 - Void Explanations

Arjun pov

"But she had abortion pills," Advik said flushed, "what?" the doctor was shocked, "I mean someone feeds her abortion pills," he said glaring at me apart from that glare I saw happiness in them, "maybe it might be less effective, how much days she had the medicines?"

Diya looked down at her stomach, "I stopped using it after three days doctor, I felt vomiting having it so I stopped it"

"Seems like it might have been less effective Miss, you should be thankful for it you may leave now, take care and take regular checkup" I lowered my head unable to meet her eyes who is looking at me with multiple questions.

"Ask him to go out Advi" her voice was broken and weak, "Diya it's..."

"Don't you hear her? She never wants to meet you"

"Stop irritating me Advik" I snorted at him and turned to Diya, "please Diya" I pleaded her looking at her pale face she turned away from me giving strength to Advik as he pushed me out of the room shutting the door on my face.

Defeatedly with a heavy heart I sat on the chair outside the room keeping my hands on my head, 'I had done the worst mistake in my life by hiding things from you Diya now I can't even explain them to you when my heart wants to say'

Hearing the door opening sound I saw Advik and Diya coming out with her reports, my eyes went to her flat stomach, painfully my eyes shut automatically as I moved away from there, "Albert don't call me until it's an emergency" I said getting into my car and drove aimlessly without any destination.

'Won't you ever believe me?'

I sat on the bench outside the park placing my head backward inhaling the night's cold breeze into my nostrils.

Opening my eyes seems to be a difficult task after a hard day with back to back meetings that needed my continuous attention after sitting on the new chair COO of the company.

My happiness reached beyond boundaries when my father announced it to everyone in the conference hall with most important peoples of our company present, hugging my father I smiled brightly, the next second I wanted to share this happiness with my Diya along with my whole past.

And this will be the day I am going to share everything with her and going to accept any punishment she will be giving me excluding her hate and separation.

Groaning in irritation I turned another side when something soft felt on my ears, when it continued I slightly opened my eyes and found my snow looking around my bed for something to torture me, well she failed to realize her single touch will do the work of the feather she took.

I shut my eyes when her head glanced at me, I felt the right side of the bed dip, and then on right, she is sitting on her knees on both sides of me, her smell filled my nose and my body stiffened when her body was close to mine but unfortunately, she didn't come too close, she started to play with a feather on my ears.

With my whole willing power I never reacted until she decided to back off, placing my head on her waist I pulled her to me, in an attempt she falls on my chest with a soft panic gasp, I encircled my hands around her placing her head on my chest.

"Arju..." she exclaimed pushing herself away from my chest, "lemme sleep snow"

"Arju it's already late, get up" she wined trying to get away from my stronghold.

I groaned, "stop trying to move away from snow, let me have a good sleep for a few minutes I had a hectic day"

She was still moving now and then but never said a word to disturb me, smiling internally I laid with closed eyes when I felt like I couldn't handle any more silence I broke the silence, "Diya" I called her.

"Hmmm"

"Diyaa..."

"Hmmm"

I groaned at her humming sound and opened my eyes, "I like this type of morning"

"What type?" she asked innocently looking at me.

"with you on top of me" I placed my head on her neck inhaling her soft perfume fragrance, "intaking your sweet smell" my lips planted a kiss on the nook of her neck making her moan, "with his kisses along with your moans"

Placing her hand on my chest she made a distance with a glare, "that will be possible only after our marriage"

"what about hugs?"

She took my hand from her hips with a huge blush which she failed to hide, "only if I feel them appropriate"

"It's not fair," I said sadly, "I need sweet morning kisses on Sundays and tight sleep hugging you on Saturdays" she blushed and put her hands around my neck hiding her face on my chest, "marry me soon Arju, I need to be with you, live with you by loving you unconditionally"

kissing her head, "I will marry you soon snow, you will only feel love, happiness" I said, "but I want to earn more money to keep my Diya as a queen like her father is keeping her"

She sat up quickly making me sit on the bed, "Arju, let's live like this itself, no more money, no more big houses. My father is earning a lot of money but he can't give me his time and love his eyes are showing. I want my Arju like this itself with a simple job, small apartment, electricity-free nights to spend the whole night with each other completely in talks and small cute fights" I took her hand and kissed the tip of her finger.

"Sir..." I opened my eyes and found an old man standing near me, "sir, the public is not allowed to sleep here at nights" I nodded and walked to my car, I also found a message from Albert, Mam is safe in her apartment.

Quickly I drove to her apartment and went in using the spare key I had, there she is my Diya lying on the mattress placed on the floor her dull face showed how tired she is, moving close to her I sat near her, my eyes went to her now flat stomach where our little one is.

Moving closer to her I placed my lips on her stomach for a long few seconds, "your father will always love you my little one" I whispered slowly.

The second when the doctor told me about her pregnancy, the happiness, and satisfaction I felt was unexplainable, for a second I imagined our little family, me, my Diya, and our baby playing together, that second I wanted to open my every problem to her and console her.

But the happiness didn't last even for a few minutes, if keeping my child safe will make Diya more hate on me, then I would never mind taking all the hatred on me. The urge to take her in my arms killed me, so whatever her words can be, I am ready to tolerate it for a few minutes of peace and content.

I inched close to her and lied beside her placing my head on her stomach with my hand wrapped around her, she jerked at my sudden contact, "don't panic Diya, I just need few minutes"

"What are you doing here?" I maintained silence, as I have no answer to her question.

"Move away" her order didn't reach my ear, instead I placed my head closer to her stomach with closed eyes trying to stop my overflowing tears, whatever the problem be, this one hug give me such happiness I never got.

"I need to change my lock" just a few minutes Diya, I need peace, "get away from me, I feel disgusting on myself being this close to you" wiping my tears I moved away from her, "why?" I asked looking at her pure hatred filled eyes.

"Why are you hell bend down to destroy my peace, few minutes before I was happy but now again you showed up in front of me, don't come in front of me Mr. Verma, I hate seeing your face and your touches feel like itching me"

I inhaled deeply pulling the pain back in me and kept the key on the mattress, "there is no need for changing the lock" he walked towards the door but stopped when she spoke again, "listen, Mr. Verma, this should be your last visit in my apartment, these tears, care won't ever change my mind, if you come here there would be only one reason for you, I am not ready to lose my baby to you again, if I see you anymore here I will find another better country to live in" I looked at her shocked.

'What big words Diya? All you have asked is why I killed our child but you never had thoughts of why I did it, you are breaking me into millions of pieces Diya' I walked out without looking at her, she is not in a state to listen to me nor I am in a state to explain her.

She is killing me with her words, if thinking good to you both is a sin then I am a bit sinner in the world.

My eyes are rejected to move away from the boy who is sitting on the wooden bench under the dense tree with a small smile on his face, son of Mr. Pratap, Rishi. After getting his details from Albert I wanted to see him in person that's why I came here without going to the office. His face is telling millions of stories.

I am seeing myself in him, the satisfaction, happiness, relaxation, the first step of achieving the dream, first earning on our effort... all these are possible only when our life leads to our destination. I was this little man a few years ago when I landed on my business college full of curiosity.

Looking at him I sat near him, "new to college?" I asked.

His eyes landed on mine with a huge smile, "yeah, in my dream course"

"Business?"

"yes, I was dying to learn it from my 8th grade. It's my mom's dream, she wanted to become businesswomen but my father stood before her, she stopped her dreams for our family, but the shine, when she speaks how she used to handle my grandfather's small business, wanted me to experience it"

"Is your father strict?"

He laughed, "you have no idea how he is, but he is such a sweet person to me. For my mother he is a husband that's it, I have never seen any lovely conversation between them" a hint of sadness plastered his voice.

"Don't you think you open up so easily" never I expected Pratap's son to be this innocent, this society will crush him with its cruelty.

The smile on his face disappeared, "My school and college days were inside four walls of my room without any friends for my security. Parks were never my place to play, there were no friends to share my thoughts when I got your company my tongue lost its control" he smiled at the end trying to hide his pain, "umm sorry by the looks of you, I am sure you are not a student or professor"

I nodded, "I don't belong here I came to show you something" I gave him the data of his father which I collected for the past 3 years, "it's time for you to know the world, this is my card" his eyes had confusion, "you will understand after watching them" saying this I walked out of the college.

"Your father is waiting for you in your cabin" Albert announced to me when we entered our office building.

"Any problem?"

"not clear sir, but seems like he wanted to discuss the Australian Project" his visit won't be random, he had planned something.

After reaching my floor I noticed Advik and Diya talking about something with her back to me and Advik facing the elevator, sensing the presence he looked at me with a smirk and looked down at the file with a sly smile.

I went inside my cabin ignoring him to find my father sitting on the couch, "Hello dad" hearing my greeting he looked at me, "good morning Mr. Verma"

Huh, professional tone? Okay.

"This Australian client need you there" he dropped a bomb on my head without any disturbance, "but it's you who handled that project"

His eyes glared at me, "I was, now it's your work to go there" there were changes in his voice, not the professional tone I was used to these years, "I can't go there" I argued back.

"Well, Mr. Arjun, when took your brother's share forcefully you became the majority shareholder of the company so it's your duty, and keeping you away from my daughter is my duty" I gulped down my anger when I realized the look of Advik a few seconds before.

"How many days?"

"Probably 10 months or maximum"

What? 10 months? The whole freaking 10 months I should be away from my Diya and child, I laughed sadly, "dad, 10 months is cruel dad"

"There is no other option for you"

"I will go whenever it's necessary but I can't stay there," I said with determination, "then as a CEO and chairman I can throw you out of the company"

"But you can't take back my shares"

He moved close to me, "you forgot one thing Arjun, I am your father" I was breathing hard in anger, he planned each and everything before speaking with me, "I will speak with mom, she will understand me and Diya won't ever want me to be far away from her" I said confidently.

His laughter echoed in my cabin, "she was the one who requested your mom to keep you away from her she is scared you might harm her child and Kiruthiga wanted you to be away from all of us. From my family"

I was shattered, my mother wanted me to be away from her? Does Diya never want to see me? How can she think I will kill my baby?

"So I was out of your family?" I laughed painfully. At least you got family Diya...

"Yes, when you tried to kill my grandchild and Krithiga never want you to show up in front of her" the proud look which he had in his eyes while looking at me disappeared.

With a small ray of hope, I asked, "do you believe I would have killed my child dad?" he looked deeply into my eyes, "the client wants you to be there within a week, sign these documents you are not allowed to leave the project incompletely" and he walked out of my cabin completely leaving me shattered with a direct answer, 'I don't believe you'.

I sat on my chair completely broken, the pain when no one trying to, believe me, is killing me slowly.

"May I come in sir?" the naughtiness was evident on his voice masking my expression I called him, "come in"

"Sir, I heard you are going to Australia?" his fake shocked tone was on.

"Any problem with it Mr. Verma?" I gave him a light smile, "definitely yes sir, I might have to work on more of the projects, even my father is planning to hand over the COO post to me when you leave India but this spoiled my other plan to spend most of the time with my sister-in-law come sister, but I will manage my time to take her to hospitals for her regular checkup, I would hear that little one heartbeat, I would see their small organ growing, I would buy cute toys for my niece" enough Advik, "and I would lift he/she on their born day" he breathed hard, "it will going to be a happy year without any disturbances"

"Congrats Mr. Verma for your family's happiness, take care of her," I said faking a smile but whenever I think about going away from them, it feels like standing on the fire. I have dreamed about fulfilling my Diya's every crazy craving without minding the time, press her swollen legs, giving supportive words when she has fear in pregnancy pain, hold her hands tightly when she is in labor... having my baby first as a father when he/she is born, I wanted to witness the first smile on it's the face, I wanted to be the first one he/sees see when it open eyes, comfort the baby when it cries, help Diya while giving he/she bath.

But now everything died in front of my eyes.

"Of course, to take good care of her was our priority, cause you know there are some worst humans ready to prey her like a hungry predator, most of all her ex-husband is the dangerous man," he said with a gossiping tone.

Placing a smile on my lips I stood up, "I was wrong about you Advik, you have big grown enough to stab your brother's heart" with that I did not waste any time standing there.

I would have explained everything if the only one asked me 'did you did it?' but what is the need when everyone has a strong belief in me, that I am the reason for everything that happens around them. If I am not needed then my explanation is also void, I will never explain myself. If they want me back they need to understand my actions.

In just a few days, I will settle all the problems and go away.

If all your happiness is my absence, I would gladly present my absence.
