LOST THEM?? (Krish's POV)

PRESENT

"That is when I decided to demolish your family brick by brick. You screwed up my life Jones. If not for you, I would have been happy. You snatched all my happiness from me, first parents, second Catherine, and now Akhil", Steve growled holding the collar of Mathew.

"Steve cool down, think straight", Mathew said

I took it as a chance to untie Megha when Steve was more concentrated on the conversation with his twin.

"Untie Sahana also, whatever happens, don't come near us", I whispered to her while rubbing her wrists which had turned red because of the rope.

I walk in between Steve and Mathew. I hold Steve by his collar and reward him with a strong punch against his face which made him land on the floor.

Keshav hit me with a bunch of swearings escaping his mouth. That single blow busted my lower lip. The metallic taste of my blood gave me an urge to make sure that I will be the reason for the plenty of blood loss of these two monsters.

The duel started. Drops of blood were added to the place which was filled with dust and bricks and sand. Wailings of Megha and Sahana, and growlings from the men filled the incompletely built house.

Sahana pulled Keshav's leg when he was above to kick Mathew who was lying on the floor groaning in pain and recovering from the blow he received from him. Keshav inhumanly pulled her back by her hair.

"Trying to help your dad, huh?", he said and threw her away from them callously. His way of handling her made my blood boil.

"Krish", I hear Megha scream as I was on my way to break that hand that just manhandled my niece.

I turn around to see Megha who tried to stop the rod in Steve's hand which was above hit me. She missed catching it and the rod hit her hand and slightly scraped her stomach I guess. The moment Megha fell down both Mathew and I charged against the two with much more anger.

Akash arrived at the spot with Shrey and his team. The policemen pulled us away from each other. They handcuffed Keshav and Steve.

"Spend your time with your boyfriend inside the prison", Shrey said patting Steve's back.

"Where is Megha?", Akash asked

Right, she had got hurt. What happened to her? How could I be this careless? I turn around and find Megha lying on the floor. She was unconscious and had blood around her. The blood was flowing from between her legs. No. No. This can't happen. Bleeding from there at this time is a possibility of having a miscarriage. Why does she always do this? Why does she always put herself in trouble? She did the same during our college days and now also. But it wasn't the same this time. She was pregnant.

I can't afford to lose them. My knees gave up and I fell to the floor next to her body. Tears flowed down my eyes and my whole body was trembling with the thoughts of what could happen.

"TAKE HER TO THE HOSPITAL, HURRY UP", Shrey shouted throwing his car key to Mathew. I picked her up and ran to his car. I at in the backseat with her lying down on the backseat with her head resting in my lap while Mathew was driving the car.

"You need to stay strong", he said despite the tears flowing from his eyes. He was no less scared than me. Both of us knew what it is and what might happen next.

"I couldn't do anything. I should have never come into her life. I was the threat here. She suffered all this because of me. She was almost killed. KRISH", he blamed himself and hit the steering wheel.

Mathew has always been a strong person maybe a strong pillar to the whole family, an unbreakable one. But right now he was behaving like a defeated brother who couldn't save Megha.

I closed my eyes and all the memories of the pregnancy time played in my head. Her cravings, mood swings, illogical fights, and the smile on our faces every time during the ultrasound. I still remember hearing the heartbeat of the babies inside her. The memories from the first check-up to the recent one haunted me. Just a few days ago we were happy knowing the due date. But now here I am sitting knowing that the crush down of all this is just a few moments away.

We reached the hospital and Megha was wheeled to the emergency room followed by a bunch of doctors. I fell to the floor staring at my hand filled with blood. Blood of my wife and my kids.

Mathew made me sit on the chair. His eyes welled up with tears. He was shaking thinking of the worst.

At the same time, my body felt numb. I felt like my heart stopped beating, the blood stopped flowing in my body, and my breathing had stopped. I was nothing other than a dead corpse alive.

A doctor came out of the emergency room with a few nurses behind him. Terrified, scared faces stared at me. They were as panicked as the one lying unconsciously on the hospital bed was their colleague, their employer or should I say a friend whom all of them loved.

Mathew and I looked at each other and blinked blankly. It struck us what is going to happen next. The tears and the sadness engulfed us. I felt things blacking out inside me. The beast inside me shouted that I failed as a husband multiple times now and even failed as a father now. I failed to protect the most precious people in my life.

"She has to deliver the babies. We will try our best to save all three of them", the doctor said and went into the room again.

Those words directly ripped my heart and sucked the life out of me.

If Megha had listened to my words and stayed back nothing like this would have happened. Why on earth does she never listen to me? She is equally responsible for everything that has happened in the past few minutes.
