"What the hell?" Eeshu opened her eyes from a deep slumber listening to her husband shouting at someone on Phone.

She doesn't have any idea when did she sleep, what all she remembers is She crying at Uday's words!

She felt a sharp pain at both temples of her forehead and it took a second for her to adjust herself to daylight and see him properly.

"It can't happen?!"

"Why the hell you are saying it now?" Her husband's voice reached her ear allivating her pain.

"I invested my every hard-earned penny on it and now you are saying that Person is bogus and scandalous?" He shouted on the top of his lungs and turned over to see Eeshu looking at him with a pale face.

His words gave her enough information and her heart ached instantly looking at his worried face.

Eeshu noticed him staring at her with a worried face.

She narrowed her eyes and walked to him knitting her brows in suspicion.

"Good morning, When did you wake up?" Uday asked her after a second trying to smile at her.

She gave a wan smile and greeted him back answering his question "Just now"

She expected him to talk about the issue he was discussing a moment ago, She badly wants him to tell him that she heard most of the things he told on the phone.

To her disappointment, he didn't say a single word.

Though she got a clue about the reason behind his recklessness and reluctance, she wants him to share the actual problem by himself.

He is facing a kind of financial crisis and doesn't want to share it with his pregnant wife.

Why!? She looked at him for the last time with a pale face and walked into the washroom grabbing a towel.

He didn't spell another word, What all he did is just nodded back at her and walked away from their room leaving her to her thoughts.

Eeshu did all her morning chores with a worried mind and walked into the living room to check if he is still there at home?

He is not there in the house, he left home like a thief without answering her questions.

She walked to the living room and felt a need to talk to her mother in law.

"God save us from this situation!"

"We are literally bankrupt and has nothing left in our pockets."

"Uday is trying hard to make things fall in the place, still no use."Her father in law admitted to her mother in law succumbing to despair.

She took a few more steps ahead and reached them hurriedly.

They who are oblivious about her presence looked at her in sheer surprise.

Their faces fell off and they stood frozen like rocks.

What if she had listened to their conversation!?, The thought took away their peace.

Her mother in law tried to smile at her assuring her to stay quiet but no use, Eeshitha has already listened to their conversation and she can't stay peacefully.

Not paying to her assuring smile Eeshu reached her mother in law in a single stride.

Her mother in law got nervous and looked at her with a worried face, She simply averted Eeshu's gaze and kept staring at walls.

Is this what bothering him!

Money?!

Why didn't he let her know it?

She walked straight to her mother in law and stood looking straight into her eyes.

"Mom, tell me is that true?", She asked her mother in law in a screechy tone trying to stop a sob.

"Mom, Please tell me what is happening?"

"Please..."

"Please...I can't bear all this pain." She requested her again holding her hands tightly.

"Eeshu, It's not good for you to take stress, It's Nothing imporatant..."

"Everything is fine...."Shakuntala, Uday's mom opened her mouth faking a nervous smile.

"Fine?!"

"But dad was saying some on the phone that we are bankrupt and Uday..."

"Uday lost all the money he invested......" Eeshu asked wiping her uninvited friend's, her tears.

"No...Eeshitha...It's not what you think" Her father in law, at last, opened her mouth trying to convince her.

"But you were saying it on Phone dad?!, "

"Please don't do this to me..."

"You always treat me like your daughter and you always adore me a much as Uday"

"Tell me, dad, What just happened?"

"Please.." She screamed at him helplessly.

"Yes....!"

"We are almost bankrupt and Uday lost all his money..."

"He is thriving hard to make up the situation but sad he can't do it."

"You don't worry dear, We will find a way"

"There will be away definitely." He patted her shoulder.

She looked at him in with a shock written face and burst into another round of tears.

"Eeshitha, Don't stress yourself."

"It's not good for you both..." Her mother in law looked at Eeshu and made her sit on the couch.

She hastily walked into the kitchen and gave her a glass of water.

Eeshu took it into her hand quivering out of anxiety and almost dropped it.

She looked at her in-laws once again and drank the water in a single gulp.

Eeshu doesn't know what to do?!

The thought of losing all the money panicked Eeshu to the core.

And Saddest thing is Uday hide it from her.

He hides things from her.

Why?!

Just because she is pregnant or his male ego didn't allow him to share it with her?! She wondered.

Suddenly, she started feeling having a panic attack.

All her vision became blurry.

She is feeling like her world started collapsing, all her dreams got shattered into pieces.

She opened her mouth to gasp some air and started feeling the heaviness on her breasts accompanied by heavy breathlessness.

"Eeshu...."Her mother in law looked at her with a sullen expression.

What is happening to Eeshu?!, She got worried?

She tried to catch Eeshu's hand and gently tried to pat her palm.

Eeshu looked at Shakunthala and spoke a few words with difficulty.

"Mom, Please call Sudhan Bhaiya."

"I am sweating profusely."

"Please call him"She screamed and tried to close her eyes for a while.

Thank you

Take care.
