Mohabbatein only love

Part 44

Author POV:

Nobody said anything to Annaya as they didn't want to stress her, and after waking up, she didn't speak to anyone and just stayed in her room. 

Now, she is sitting on her balcony, wrapped in a shawl with a cup of coffee, when her phone rang. She picked it up from the coffee table and smiled upon seeing Lizzy's name.

"Hey Lizzy," Ananya greeted, as Lizzy replied with a cheerful, "Hey darling!"

"How are you and the baby?" Ananya inquired, taking a sip of her coffee.

"We're both fine," Lizzy responded, "and I called to invite you," she added.

"Invite me to what?" Ananya asked.

"To my baby shower," Lizzy answered while munching on chocolate.

"Oh," Ananya said, "I'll surely try to come."

"No 'try'—you must come, darling. Today, this baby is safe because of you, so your presence is important," Lizzy insisted, leaving no room for argument.

"Okay, Lizzy, I'll definitely come," Ananya conceded.

"Good," Lizzy replied, "and you know, in our culture, it's said that singles who attend will also receive blessings."

"Lizzy, I'm not married yet, and you're already talking about babies," Ananya chuckled.

"Don't worry, soon you'll be married and have your own little ones, and I bet they'll be adorable," Lizzy said with a smile.

"Lizzy, you and your imagination," Ananya laughed, shaking her head.

"Yes, we should imagine, because imaginations can come true. You know, I envisioned my life with Michael the first time I saw him. I fell in love, and then I imagined our whole life together—from being partners to parents, and growing old together," Lizzy shared.

"You both are a lovely couple, Lizzy, and made for each other," Annaya said with a smile. "Thank you so much, darling. You and your special one will also make a beautiful couple," Lizzy replied. "I hope so," Annaya said with a sad smile.

"Okay, darling, I will now get going as I have to go for a checkup," Lizzy said. "Oh, okay. Bye, Lily. Take care, darling," Annaya replied, and the call ended.

Annaya placed the mobile back on the table with her cup and settled more comfortably on the sofa, gazing at the sky as a tear escaped her eye.

Flash back 

"What are you doing, Jaan?" Abhimanyu asked, coming from the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. His hair was wet, and water droplets were glistening on his body, but Annaya was so engrossed in her mobile that she didn't listen or saw Abhimanyu.

Annaya was smiling, looking at her phone. "Jaan, what are you watching?" Abhimanyu asked again, but she ignored him. Abhimanyu frowned and thought about what she was watching that was making her smile and blush.

He marched towards her and snatched the phone. "Ahhh, Abhi, what are you doing?" Annaya said as she got up from the bed angrily.

"What I'm doing? What are you doing?" he replied with a raised eyebrow, jaw clenched.

"What are you talking about, Abhi? Give me my phone back," Annaya said, trying to take it, but Abhimanyu tossed the phone on the bed and pulled Annaya by the waist.

It all happened so fast that Annaya couldn't understand. "Abhi," she said, and her hands went on his chest.

"If you really want to see naked men, you can see me," he said, pulling her closer, leaving no space between them.
