Chapter 12: Decisions

Arnav had gotten dressed, dealt with work and kept himself as occupied as possible because he didn’t know how he was going to break the news that Shyam and Khushi were having an affair to his family. Well he knew exactly what he was going to say but he didn’t know what his sister’s reaction was going to be. She was the most important person in his life and he didn’t want anything to happen to her and that’s why he was stalling.

Arnav finally gathered enough courage to go up to his sister and tell her that the person she loved and worshipped is a dirty scumbag and marched to her room. When he reached her room, he’s eyes narrowed to slits. He saw his innocent sister fawning over her worthless husband. He wanted to go in there and thrash him all over again but he restrained himself as Anjili was in the room. He was about to turn and go when she noticed him.

“Arre Chote, where have you been? You didn’t come see your jijaji after you came home and he’s been in such a big accident.”

Arnav clenched his jaws and fists. He really didn’t want to cause a scene before he explained everything to his sister.

“Di can you come with me please.” He gritted out.

Anjili frowned. “Chote what’s wrong?”

“Please come with me Di.” Arnav said calmly.

“I can’t, I have to take care of Shyamji.”

Arnav was losing his patience. “We have servants for that Di but right now I need to speak to you.”

Before Anjili could protest again, Shyam cut through, “It’s ok Rani Saiba. Go with salle saab, I’ll be fine.”

Arnav gave Shyam a dirty look and Shyam smirked back. Arnav lead Anjili to his room and made her sit on the bed before he sat down on the recliner.

“Di , what I’m about to tell you is going to be a bit shocking and-”

There was a knock at the door that prevented him from finishing his sentence. Before he could bark at whoever was at the door and tell them to go away, Anjili asked them to come in. In came Hari Prakash with an envelope in his hands.

“Anjili di, your doctor’s reports have come.” He handed the envelope to Anjili and left.

Anjili kept the envelope to the side and stared at Arnav, indicating for him to continue.

“Aren’t you going to open that?” he asked her.

“This can wait. You had something important to tell me, remember?”

“Di, nothing is more important than your health so stop being stubborn and open the envelope.”

“Ok baba.”

She opened the envelope and stared at the contents of the letter, her face paling with each word she read. The protective brother in Arnav came out when he saw her face and rushed to her side.

“What’s wrong Di?!” he asked urgently.

Anjili turned and hugged him. Panic began to envelop Arnav when he felt tears.

“I’m pregnant Chote.”

Those 3 words brought Arnav’s world crushing down. He felt physically sick. All his senses left him again. His sister’s excited chatter came as muffled noises to him.

“You…you’re pregnant!” He asked dreading the answer he already knew.

“Yes! You’re going to become an uncle. I’m going to go and tell the rest of the family.”

She hugged him tightly and left the room in a hurry. Arnav sat on his bed staring out into space wondering what he could’ve possibly done to deserve any of this. He was broken out of his trance by a hand on his shoulder.

“Nanav?” asked NK anxiously.

“Not now NK!” snapped Arnav

NK put his foot down. “It has to be now Nanav. The wedding is in 30 minutes and we have a lot to discuss.”

“No we don’t.” Arnav said firmly.

Khushi appeared in front of him before he could storm off. “Actually we do Arnavji.”

Arnav took a long hard look at her, pure loathing was emitting from him. “You’re right we do.”



Tried to make this a bit long as I'm going to be absent for a while.
