The next day, Ragini received a call from her parents: "Come back home for dinner tonight, Kavya's flight arrived yesterday night." her mother said.

Ragini didn't have much to say, Kavya left three years ago. Three years ago and things were just the same, as messed up as before. Kavya says she misses me? What about Laksh, anyone can clearly see that he still loves her.

Ragini didn't want to hear any more of this, her heart was wrenched by pain. "I will pass by the house after work. I am quite busy at the moment, so I've got to hang up now."

Her own mother, like everyone else, believed she was a bad woman. Everybody has been talking about three years ago, they're not going to forgot it. But so far, Ragini still doesn't understand, three years ago, what exactly did she do wrong?

Her diary, which held all her secrets and stuff about her personal life suddenly became not private anymore. Everyone got to know of her feelings for Laksh. Then she became the object of everyone's laughter and mockery, the boyfriend snatcher.

Only God knows how the diary landed at Kavya's doorsteps.

Ragini looked up to heaven! Even her parents did not believe her ... But it doesn't matter anymore.

She touched her belly. Her pregnancy was less than three months old and her tummy hadn't yet begun to protrude. But because of her stomach cancer, she was already looking sick and out of shape.

Her cell phone beeped, she opened to read the text: "Come over to my house eat."

It was Kavita.

Since three years ago when this whole predicament begun, she had lost all of her friends, she didn't even have anyone to show her some form of care and love.

Seeing that it was already time for lunch break, Ragini picked up her handbag and quickly walked downstairs. All the staff were surprised to see the secretary in an unusually elated mood today, as she rushed downstairs to go for lunch.

Kavita sitting across Ragini mockingly frowned at her and said: "You did not eat breakfast erh, are you trying to starve yourself?"

Ragini concentrated on stuffing food into her mouth as she vaguely replied: "Well, not in the morning."

"Ragini, you really have no intention of living, do you? You have advanced stomach cancer and yet you're able to skip breakfast?"

Ragini just continued eating and eating: "Your soup really tastes good Kavita, thanks a lot."

Kavita stared at Ragini with humorous eyes: "Who said I cooked the soup? I ordered takeout. How can such a big celebrity like me go into the kitchen just to cook soup for a mere secretary like you? " Ha-ha...

Ragini looked at her and couldn't help but laugh out loud. Who would have thought that such a tight lipped person on the outside like Kavita, could have such a great sense of humour? It was so unbelievable and such a pleasant feeling.

"Do enjoy the meal!" Kavita said amidst giggles. She turned to Ragini and in a serious tone said: "There is something important I would like to discuss with you"

"Well, go ahead." she replied, at the same time chewing on a mouthful of rice. "I must say your rice also turned out perfectly well, it really tastes great. Did you cook this yourself?"

"Don't interrupt what I'm about saying," Kavita said: "Ragini, you are pregnant, and even if Laksh doesn't know, he is sure to find out sooner than later. If you really want to keep this baby then I advise you to plan ahead."

"Let me ... think about it." Ragini responded with a hint of hesitation.

"And ... the child, if it is born, I hope you can let me adopt this child."

What did you say?" Ragini in total shock stared at this elegant lady in perfect makeup and looking like a porcelain doll: "Don't make jokes like that!"

"I'm not joking, I want to adopt this baby ... Do you really want him to live his life bearing the tag as your son, Ragini? Do you really want him to grow up listening to all this gossip around him? "

This woman is stupidly and hopelessly yearning for a man who doesn't love her, and fighting to keep her unborn child. Kavita did not know for certain how she thinks, but for her sake, she was willing to see to it that an innocent child does not suffer from all this misfortunes around him.

"I ..."

"Are you certain that your parents will be willing to lovingly take care of the child of a daughter who brought them humiliation?" But the child to me, I cannot guarantee to treat like a mother, but I will give him the best of education, and care. And I will be responsible for seeing to it that he receives the best of everything money can buy."

For a long time, Ragini remained silent, she did not speak. She understood Kavita's words ... Would her parents really care about this little life that brought them stains?

But...

"Kavita, you have to think clearly. A star who is unmarried but has a child will spark a lot of gossip and controversies."

"It's none of my business, and I don't want to continue to be in the entertainment circle anyway". Having said that, Kavita stood up, and went to the kitchen to get Ragini some more soup: "These past years, I have been able to earn a lot of money from my work. I could go into business, buy some shares and go into the business field, there is still more time ahead."

Kavita put the bowl of soup in front of her. She looked at Ragini and jokingly said: "If you feel guilty about what I want to do, then you can just name me as the sole benefactor in your will, ha-ha."

Although this was meant as a joke, Ragini thoughtfully nodded her head and said: "Good, good, that is a brilliant idea!" As a daughter of one of the richest parents in the country, even though they may not approve of her now, they have always been generous to her when it comes to money. She hardly spent on anything, so she saved most of that money.

"Kavita ... I think, God may not also hate me fully after all. During these last days of my life, he sent you my way. Thank you, Kavita."

"Don't be so pathetic. I proposed to adopt your child not purely for your sake, but for mine too ... I would never be able to have a child in my life."

Ragini finding it hard to believe exclaimed aloud, "How can this be possible?"

"Nothing in the world is impossible." Kavita stood up: "Time is almost up, I'll let the driver take you back to the company."

Everyone has a secret you know... "Ragini, do you know why I helped you?" Kavita walked her to the door and smiled, "because I once also had the chance to give birth to a child. But I wasn't strong enough, unfortunately, it died."

Big time celebrity Kavita Pregnant?

If this news is released, the entertainment circle is sure to explode. But at this moment, Ragini was as shocked by the news that Kavita had been pregnant, as she was by the remark she added to it.

"We both love the men in our lives with all of our hearts and might. Even going ahead to risk our lives to bear their children. Our children, too, are destined not to be loved by their own fathers. Ragini, you are like me at that time."

"So, I didn't force you into anything when I knew you were pregnant with this child. Because I can understand your feelings, I respect your choice. Otherwise, even if the child is aborted, and your cancer is miraculously cured, I think you will forever live a lifetime of pain and regret."

"I, Kavita, have lived more than 20 years of my life not caring or getting to close to anybody else. But I do not want this one person I have come to know go through what I went through, a life of sorrow and misery. I would rather want her to be happy and live a carefree life."
