Distance

NEHA (POV):

"What's happening?" Edward yelled on the phone. "Our product quality is amazing!" His secretary said, "Sir, we don't know the cause yet, but if it keeps going like this, the company's capital chain will break, and people have already started to boycott our products. Damn it, I'm coming right now, and I want all the reports about it on my table." He hurriedly left for the company, ignoring my attempts to stop him.

It's been a week, and Edward rarely comes home. He has been working late at night, and when he does come home, he immediately goes to sleep and wakes up early to go back to the company. I haven't had a chance to talk to him, and I don't even know if he's eating or not. I called him, but he didn't pick up.

I'm thinking of going to the company, but I don't feel well these days. I don't want to eat anything, and when I do, I throw up. Sometimes, it feels like I am losing consciousness. I can't tell Edward; he's so busy. But I can't go on like this. I will tell Edward tonight about my condition. I feel like I am pregnant.

I have been waiting for him, and it's 2 AM now. I am feeling exhausted, but no matter what, I need to talk to him tonight. I hear the sound of the door opening, and I know that Edward has come. He comes and sits on the bed, rubbing his temple.

"Edward, I want to talk to you about something," I say, but he cuts me off. "Listen, Neha, I am exhausted. I want to sleep."

"Oh, it's okay. You can sleep. I will talk to you in the morning. Good night," I say, but he doesn't bother to reply and falls asleep immediately.

After that, I also drift off to sleep, but when I wake up in the morning, Edward has already gone. I don't know why, but it feels like he is keeping his distance from me on purpose.

"No, no, why would he do that?" I think to myself. "I'll just go to the hospital by myself."

I do my morning routine, take a quick bath, grab a pair of black jeans with a yellow hoodie, and go downstairs. I head towards the kitchen. I don't want to eat anything, but what if I lose consciousness? I'll just eat a piece of bread.

I call a cab and go to the hospital. In the examination room, the doctor asks me, "So, what happened, ma'am?"

"Doctor, I don't want to eat anything, and when I do, I throw up," I reply.

"Please check what's wrong with me."

She runs some tests, and when they're done, she tells me, "Your reports will come in half an hour. You can wait outside."

"Thank you," I say.

After half an hour, she hands me the report and says, "Congratulations, miss. You are pregnant."

"Really?" I ask.

"Yes, miss, but you are too weak. Eat only healthy food, and don't take depression. I will prescribe some medicines. Take them on time. And, miss, I am telling you again, don't take any depression; otherwise, you can have a miscarriage."

After that, I buy my medicines and take a report and when i reach in lobby the There's a TV, and I see the news that I am most afraid of...

"Guess what Neha saw?"
