Sehreyar's p.o.v
I came back to my house after leaving Meher alone in that house. She is too much upset and crying.
I am now gulping down alcohol non-stop. Maybe this alcohol will give me some peace.
I am feeling too much disturbed. Meher's every word is ringing inside my head continuously.
When she told me that she is pregnant with my baby I felt an unknown sensation inside my heart. I don't know what was that feeling.
I was feeling like to hug her and tell her that I am too much happy that she is pregnant with my child. I was feeling like to kiss her belly where my baby is staying.
Then, I remembered Haniya. I remembered how Adeel killed my sister's baby. I remembered how Haniya was mourning for her baby. And now my sister is mentally unstable.
I want to do the same with Adeel's sister so that he can understand the pain which I have gone through and my sister faced. That's why I decided to abort the baby.
" The baby is yours too. It's innocent like Haniya's baby," My subconscious reminded me.
I thought rubbing my forehead," I want to accept the baby and I want to take revenge on Adeel as well. What I should do? I am not understanding."
I am in a total dilemma. Should I keep the baby? If I keep the baby then what will be its future. I can't marry Meher and accept her as my wife. Then, society will call the baby a bastard. They will humiliate that little soul. It's better to not born than being raised as a bastard.
But, I am Sehreyar Al Seikh. I have money, power, everything. Who will dare to raise his finger on my child? I have the money. I can bear the expenses of Meher and my child. I can also keep that bitch Sajal happy by money. I can handle everything by money.
Yeah, I should keep the baby. It's my baby also. I should call Meher and tell her that she can keep the baby. Hearing the news she will be happy for sure.
I took the phone in my hand and dialled Meher's number. I am sure she is still crying for the baby.
Before I could call her I heard Dadi's voice from behind.
I turn my head and found that she is looking at me angrily. I know why she is angry. She is angry because I am having alcohol.
She came forward and took away the liquor bottle from my hand.
" Dadi, please. Don't take it away. I need it. I am stressed," I whined like a little kid.
She still took it away and asked affectionately," What's bothering my Sahu a lot? Tell me. Is it about business?"
"It's not about business. It's about Meher," I replied and tried to take the bottle again.
Dadi asked me curiously," What happened to that little bitch? Why are you stressed about her?"
I didn't like when she called Meher a bitch. Meher isn't a bitch. She never did any type of bitchy things.
I said rubbing my forehead," Meher is pregnant."
" What?" She uttered with too much shock. I saw her wide eyes which are looking at me like I am an alien.
She asked making me look at my face," Are you out of your mind? Why did you make her pregnant? How did she become pregnant? Are you sure that the baby is yours or not? There is no guarantee of this type of girl."
" I don't know when she conceived. Of course, the baby is mine. I think you know how a woman got pregnant," I said sarcastically hearing her last question.
She just made a disgusted face and asked," What's your intention about the baby? You aren't keeping it. Are you?"
I sighed and replied," I decided to keep it. It's my baby also."
This time she became angry and said," I thought you were taking revenge. But, here you have started making family."
" I am not making family. The baby is mine also. It has my blood also. I am just fulfilling my duty," I replied sternly.
This time she said angrily," I will never let that girl give birth to your baby. She is just a mistress. Only Sajal can give birth to your baby."
" Dadi, try to understand. I know Meher is my mistress. But, the baby is not only her. It's mine as well," I replied trying hard to convince her.
She replied sternly," You will make that girl abort the baby. I don't want any kind of trouble in future between your legal children and bastard children."
" Why are you thinking so far? I am not married to Sajal yet. I am keeping the baby and it's final," I said being pissed off.
I am going to stand up when she said holding my hands," You will abort that bastard. If you don't do that then forget that you used to have a Dadi."
I closed my eyes due to frustration and yelled loudly," Dadi, please. Don't exaggerate."
" I am going to leave this house right now. I don't want to see your bastard baby. And don't you dare to contact me again," She replied angrily and started going to leave my room.
I hold her hand tightly and said unwillingly," Fine. I will abort the baby. But, please, don't tell me to stop contacting you."
" That's my boy," She replied happily and kissed my forehead.
I didn't say anything further. I am not feeling like to kill my baby. But, still, for Dadi's happiness, I will do anything.
The Next Day
