Chapter 41 - Congratulations and celebrations, we are so happy would be a mother. (2/2)

Exactly my thoughts, thank you Eshan.

”Shut up. Let us do this properly.” Barun interrupted.

Sameer walked back and picked up the bouquet, followed by Sahil and Barun. They all stood in front of me forwarding all the bouquets towards me. Sahil gave annoying look to Arjun who had silently occupied the corner and was watching everything with amusement. Once he noticed Sahil's gaze, he too joined them with that adorably cute teddy bear.

What the hell? Had they all lost their mind? For the love of the God, I couldn't understand what was happening. Why were they behaving so weirdly? Instead of being concerned for Eshan, all of them were hovering over me like honeybees as if I was some sort of sweet nectar for them. Dumbfounded I stared each of their faces one by one.

”Congratulations and celebrations, we are so happy would be a mother.”

They almost sang in chorus with so much enthusiasm that I almost forgot what they said until I heard the shocked gasp that came from Eshan.

”Congratulations sister-in-law. Thank you for this wonderful news,” Sameer said, handing me that bouquet. Sahil and Barun did the same.

”Thank for giving me my very own niece or nephew,” Sahil remarked holding my hands in his, with the childlike enthusiasm.

'Are they for real? Pregnant and me? Which biology class they took? Eshan and me, we didn't kiss yet and they are believing I am going to give them niece or nephew, like seriously.'

The cold water that landed straight on all five of us followed by the shout had me cringing back.

”YOU MORONS-”

Ayush held back the fuming Eshan before he could hurt himself, ”What nonsense you all are sprouting. No one is pregnant here.”

At his declaration, which I was thankful for, I heard collective gasps from the trio- that excluded Arjun.

”What?” Sameer glared at Ayush as if he lied.

”Ayush told us-” Barun trailed off, looking at Arjun in the end.

”I am not getting my niece or nephew.” Sahil looked heartbroken with this revelation and I couldn't help but feel little sad at his fallen expression.

Arjun casually placed the teddy bear beside Eshan's feet on his bed before he pulled me back on the sofa, draping his hand across my shoulder. He accessed all of us with the serious expression before he busted out in loud laughter, with the only difference that no one joined him. I shrugged his hold from my shoulder and stood beside Ayush near Eshan's bed.

Only Arjun knew what was going on, and only he was the one who was having time of his life because no one else found it amusing.

I lifted my gaze towards Eshan's who had murderous look in them, that softened immediately as our eyes met. His brown eyes turned remorseful and he had guilty expression itched all over his face.

Why was he guilty?

”Mind explaining before I am forced to admit you in the mental ward of this very own hospital.” Ayush tapped his feet impatiently on the ground, with his hands folded near his chest as he glared at Arjun who by then had sobered up.

”Yes, I will but not now, you will have to wait for a while as visiting hours are over long ago and extended limit we were given is now ending. Only one person is allowed to stay here, even if it is a special room. So people, can you make it fast? Eshan needs rest and he has to eat his dinner too. One more thing I am staying here so Ayush you go home.”

”You aren't making any sense.”

We all agreed to Sameer. Indeed Arjun wasn't making any sense.

Most importantly, what did he mean by, he would be staying here? Wasn't it obvious I would stay with Eshan if only one person was allowed to stay? Did Eshan ask him that?

I nervously glanced at Eshan to find him frowning at the wall as if he was in some sort of trance. I fisted my fingers tightly, as I fought to not to shed tears but it was proving impossible with each passing second. His sudden indifference caused my heart to clench painfully.

What was happening to us?
