Chapter Eight

put my hand in his chest and pushed him away. We looked at each other for a good moment till he decided to crease my cheeks and tuck my hair behind my ears. Every touch of his felt wrong, someone was waiting for me back at home, I stood up and straightened my clothes.

"I should be going.." I turned to leave when I realized that that Chris held me back by grabbing my hand and making me turn to face him.

"What's wrong? I thought you also liked me.." there was a faint hurt in his eyes.

"I do Chris...but I'm already in a relationship with someone else and..."

"Jasmine...you could give us a chance...I'll do anything for you," he pulled me closer to him.

"No Chris, you don't understand..."

"Then make me understand, make me yours Jasmine, I will give you whatever you wish...your wish will be my command," he is being ignorant.

"Listen Chris, I'm already committed to someone else and he loves me a lot...we will be getting married soon, there is no future for us, ok?" He looked hurt, his face fell.

"And do you love him?" He right through me as if scanning me. But his question put me in distress for a moment.

"Yes..I do, I love him very much," I said with a stern face. He let his grip on me loosen and I freed myself out and walked out. I was almost running once i was outside the house. I sat in my car and immediately drove off the property. I was feeling like hell. I mean...I just jissed my boss and...and...he proposed me!

I stooped the car at the red light and waited for the signal to turn green. I tapped on the steering wheel as I looked about, the street was pretty quiet and dark. No soul lingered around. I was startled by a tap on my car window. The window winded down as I pressed the button. I smiled at the person politely but her words struck me hard.

"You should not gi home to your lover...you two will have a fight," she looked so determined about her words.

"I'm sorry?" I simply stared at her in shock.

"You will not like what you will see or hear...don't go home...don't go home..." she walked away.

"Hy! Hello!" But she was already on the other side of the road.

"What did she mean?" As I thought the signal turned green and I drove home without stopping at any other place. As I parked the car, I noticed another car on the compound.

"I wonder who's here this late," I got off the car, took my bag and phone and walked through the open door. I heard someone laughing upstairs.

Well that's weird, its 11:30 pm and Rehaan should have been asleep by now.

I thought to myself as I walked up the stairs. And suddenly I felt like vomiting again. It happened last morning also. And seriously, I feel really weak after I vomit but this time I felt like I should do the test by myself. I ran into my room, I closed the door and immediately ran to the washroom. I vomited 3 times repeatedly, once I was feeling a little better, I took the pregnancy test.

I waited and waited and waited. And while I was waiting, I prayed hard that the results should show one bar only...to be negative. I phased the room nervously, to and fro, hoping that I will get a negative result. It's not that I don't want this baby, if I am pregnant, but it's just that...Rehaan and I are just starting with a relationship and this is too early for being committed to a child.

And I don't even know whether Rehaan will be happy or angry at me. I don't know if he is ready to take up a baby's responsibility so soon. Many thoughts ran through my mind. And after half an hour of hard thinking, I finally decided to look at the results. I slowly walked inside the washroom and walked towards the handwashing basin and picked up the test strip.

My mind blowed away in shock and eyes opened up wide in horror. The result was positive. I stood there frozen at my place, I didn't knew what to do or how to respond to this. I slowly sank on the floor and sat down with my knees close to my chest. Am I supposed to be happy or disappointed with myself?

But I have to tell Rehaan about it. With that thought I stood up and walked out of my room and made my way towards Rehaan's bedroom. There was a happy feeling in me that Rehaan will be happy once I tell him that I'm pregnant. With a smile on my face, I was about to enter his room when i heard him talking to someone.

"...that I have used her for my benefit for my needs. Or shall I say that Jasmine..." now my name caught me off guard.

"...I have used you so that I can get some company informations about Wilson Tech?" He sighed and gulped down his drink he was holding in his hands.

What?! He...used me? Tears dwelled up in my eyes as I stood there with my hands on my stomach. I don't know how long I have been standing there...but I didn't had the strength to either move, walk or speak. I gathered up all the remaining composure left 8n me and walked in the room. Each step I took felt like walking on the shattered pieces of my dreams and world.

"Rehaan!" On hearing my voice he swirled around with a shocked expression plastered on his face.
