“Myra what have you done to yourself? You have lost weight. This is not good for the baby.”
“I am sorry for being a bad mother to your baby but I can’t help it I can’t even digest water let aside some food. At this time of the year my workload is also double.”
“I will ask Gaurav to reduce your workload and to give you some time off.”
“You may be friends with our CEO but I intend to complete my work since all my clients depend on me. Also I don’t want Gaurav to know about us.
He is a good friend and I will say whatever needs to be said.”
The friendly manner in which she mentioned Gaurav sent a wave of jealousy across him. Also the fact that she wanted to hide their relationship angered him. She was too weak to argue so he let the matter pass.
He offered her the lime juice and some fruit pudding. He knew she had a sweet tooth. However the moment she ate two spoons of the pudding she had to rush to the restroom. He would speak to his friend Tarun who had just had a baby and fix an appointment with the gynaecologist first thing in the morning.
When she came back her face was pale. At that moment he felt protective of her. He wanted to hold her in his arms and ask her to take it easy. He decided to take her home and leave the discussion for the next day. He literally lifted her out of the restaurant and drpped her home.
