Nikhil had proposed but before she could react Niharika had to be rushed to the hospital.
He had never expected this reaction.
She was unconscious the whole way to the hospital. He was worried for her and the baby.
He had started caring for the baby as if it was his own.
The doctors took her to the emergency and He immediately called her mother.
After half an hour the doctors emerged from the room and informed him that the baby had changed his position so that is why she had felt the pain. Though the baby was alright but the danger was still there because her amniotic fluid had started to leak.
If the leakage continued they would have to operate because the baby was dependent on the fluid for its protection and nutrition.
There was a Ganesha idol in the hospital and Nikhil was praying for Niharika when Niharika mom entered with Ayush.
She saw Nikhil praying earnestly and she had tears in her eyes . Now she was sure that he lived her daughter.
" How is Niharika?" ayush asked.
" What does it matter to you how she is ?
" Of course it matters . She is my friend."
" Just a friend?"
" I had hoped for more but it was not meant to be", replied a dejected Ayush.
" Friend my foot . You were never their when she needed you"Nikhil was getting angry.
" I can say the same for you Nikhil " replied Ayush getting angry himself.
Her mom could see that something was brewing between them but she was not sure why they were fighting.
" Can you two shutup . This is a hospital "
" But mom he started the fight blaming me even though I am not responsible "
" How easy for you to say . You seduced her and then duscarded her after she became pregnant with your child. You are a complete rascal" saying this he punched Ayush.
Ayush. was stunned.
" I never laid a finger on her forget about seducing her . She was pregnant when she came to London"
Suddenly he realised that maybe Niharika had left for London because she was pregnant . In that case the baby might be his.
He calculated that she was around 7 months pregnant and he had met her in Singapore around seven and a half month back .
The realisation dawned on him that he was the father.
He looked at Niharika,s mom questionably who reaffirmed what he thought .
" Nikhil you are the father . Niharika told me and you are the only one person she has ever loved both physically and emotionally.'
