Chapter 8

Gauravi's POV

" Don't blame me for the baby you are carrying. I am not related to it in any way. I don't even like you, being in a relationship, being married to you, or having a child with you is something that I would not do in this lifetime. " He said firmly.

" Well, what do I say, if you are denying it outrightly... Okay fine, all the best for your life, I guess I was right about you in the beginning. Anyway, thanks for saving my life. Mom, Dad, let's go, please. " Gauravi said.

" How can you deny everything like this?? He should take the responsibility. " Siddh got angry and charged at Shaurya but Gauravi came between them.

" Siddh, let it be, please don't force him. I can take care of myself and if I am in this situation it is my problem. Nobody has to take the responsibility for my life. Let's go! Please Bhai. "

" We don't need him to take care of you because we can't take care of you, Gauravi, it is the right thing to do, he has always been a playboy, but at least now, he should grow up and be a man enough to accept everything gracefully. "

" Why should I take the responsibility when it has nothing to do with me? " Shaurya said.

" Fine, I will prove you wrong. We will get the DNA test done and will prove that you are lying." Siddh said.

" No!! I don't want to prove anything, I have already proved that I am stupid enough to trust a Casanova like him, but I will rectify my mistake. " Gauravi said.

" See, she backed out as she couldn't prove anything. She must have had a fling with someone and when she got knocked out she thought that she could blame it on me as I am a playboy, everyone will believe her. " Shaurya said with a sarcastic smile.

" Shut up!! Or I will break your jaw. " Gautam said. Shaurya lowered his eyes out of respect for him.

" Dad please let's go from here. I am sorry that you had to face this. You were right, I was wrong. " Then I turned to Uncle and Aunty and apologized for disturbing them and wasting their time.

" Gautam, please don't go like this, if he has been with her he would have to marry and take full responsibility for her. " Sagar uncle said.

" I beg your pardon, uncle, though I can prove it with a simple DNA report, but I really don't want to do it now. What is the point of forcing someone into a marriage? Please don't worry about me, I am quite strong, can take care of myself and my... And my family is always there for me. " I said and turned to go.

" Gauravi beta, please give us some time, we can sort this matter. Maurvi..." Damini Aunty was saying something to calm me down but I had enough of all that.

" No, Aunty, now I will not accept him, he denied everything and I learnt my lesson. What is the point of proving that I was not lying? I don't want to be in a relationship if I have to prove it. Thanks for your consideration... Have a good day. " I said and came out of their home holding Siddh's hand.

" Why did you refuse to get the DNA test? " Siddh asked.

" Because I don't want to prove anything. "

" Why? "

" I don't want to do anything with him. I don't even want to see his face. " I was on the verge of crying.

" But did you see how he smirked and said sarcastically that you backed out because you can't prove it... I am not asking you to accept him, I will not let you do that even if you want to after the way he behaved just now. But at least, he would not be able to deny it anymore. He accused you of trying to force him into getting married. " Siddh was still very annoyed.

" Please leave the topic. It is very humiliating. I agree that you and Dad were right about him. I made a mistake. Please forgive me. " I said and burst into tears. Siddh embraced me.

" Fine, let's go somewhere, I will inform the hospital that we are not coming today, let's go and have some good time. Where do you want us to go?? " Siddh asked patting my back.

Though he was exactly as old as I was, he had always treated me as a kid sister and was trying to cheer me up while I knew that he was itching to beat Shaurya to a pulp.

" Let's go to the hospital, one of my colleagues is on a long leave, I can't take one as well. I have already taken a leave for almost a month. " I said.

" So what? You can take as many leaves as you want, perks of being the daughter of the owner of the hospital. " Siddh said with a smile.

"Please, Bhai, let's go to hospital, I just want to be busy or I will keep thinking about all this. " I said and he took me to the hospital.

I went to my department and drowned myself in my work. I had many patients waiting for me and I was thankful for that as I didn't get any free time to think about him, the passionate lovemaking between us, and then the way he denied everything outrightly.

My phone was ringing, I looked at the screen, and Roohi was calling me. I took the call.

" Hi!! "

" Hey, where are you?? " She asked from the other side.

" Working in my department. Why? " I replied.

" It is lunchtime, take a break and come, we are waiting for you. "

" We as in? Mihir is also there? Of course, he would be, Roohi, I don't want to meet him, it is getting very awkward. " I said as I was already very upset after what happened at Malhotras' place, I was not in the mood to face any more drama for the day. I knew that Mihir was feeling betrayed the way I was feeling. He had always loved me but I could not spoil his life.

He was upset and was not talking to me, it was hurting me as well because he was my closest friend.

" He is not joining us, he is also trying to avoid you. Please don't do this to us. You both can avoid each other, but why are you avoiding us? Both Vihan and I are missing you like hell, Come here right away. " She said.

" Okay fine, I am coming. " I said and got up to go to the cafeteria.

I was already tired but wanted to distract my mind and enjoy having a carefree quality time with my friends. Though it would never be the same with tension between me and Mihir he would have to understand it one day.

The moment I entered the cafeteria, I saw Roohi and Vihan sitting there and I joined them.

" Are you alright?? " Roohi asked me.

" Of course, I am fine, just too tired, had so many patients for the scan. " I said.

" No, you have had lots have patients every day, you are looking weak. Are you upset about something?" Vihan asked.

" No, I am fine, trust me I am also a doctor, I know, I am fine. " I said.
