Chapter Seventeen

Eldar

It's been 5 months. Yes five good months since my Queen got pregnant. She's grown hungrier everyday. She wakes me up almost every night for chicken nuggets.

She looks cute when she's munching on the nuggets. She's been over protective of our little baby. She hardly let's me touch her tummy.

It's kinda funny. Her bestfriend Muneera always cries when she sees Layla now. Suleiman has take an exceptional liking to Muneera. It's obvious that something is going on between them.

"ELDAR!!!!!" Layla screamed at him from their room. He rushed upstairs to check up on her. She looked fine to him but she was holding onto her tummy.

"What's wrong baby? Is it hurting?" He asked worriedly.

She shook her head and pouted

"I want chicken nuggets"

Eldar literally just slammed his head against the wall. He shook his head and chuckled softly.

"You want chicken nuggets?" He asked her once more.

She nodded happily.

"Aye Aye Baby" he said playfully. He hopped off the bed and rushed to the kitchen to get her some chicken nuggets.

He returned after a few moments with a bowl full of chicken nuggets. Within 8 minutes, only 3 chicken nuggets were left in the bowl. Layla had gulped down almost all the chicken nuggets.

Eldar burst out laughing until he hit his head against the bedstand. Layla didn't seem to be offended yet. After eating all the chicken nuggets and drinking a bottle of water, she begun crying.

"What's wrong baby?" He asked her.

"You are laughing at me. You don't love me. You are cheating on me. Why?" She begun ranting.

He had to sustain his laughter for another time. He hugged her and kissed her tightly

"I love you baby. I'm sorry for laughing at you. I'm not cheating on you. " he said casually.

She grinned as she hugged him back and rubbed his hand over her belly. Like it was awaiting a call, the baby kicked at the hand.

"Ahhhh Eldar, did you feel that?" Layla screamed.

He did feel it as he tried to soothing her. She calmed down eventually ,when he brought her another bowl of chicken nuggets. She smiled gratefully at him and kissed him on the lips.

"Hun, we're going to Pakistan!!! Get ready!" He yelled softly in her ears.

She had to hold back a moan before nodding.

She walked to the closet and changed into a flowery dress with pink sandals.

Elder was ready in a jiffy and within 30 minutes, they had arrived at the jet station.

They boarded the jet and within 5 hours, they arrived in Pakistan.

Layla had never been to Pakistan, so she was excited to be here. They drove to Mikail, Eldar's childhood friend's mansion. The mansion was so nice and huge. It literally just screamed money.

When they entered into the Mansion, Layla caught eyes of some beautiful doll like lady. She immediately fell in love with her. She rushed to hug her and after a long line of chatting with her. They became inseparable.

They both had the same names. They both sat down and spoke at length whilst we the men spoke about our mafia's and the petty problems were facing.

That's when our other friends arrived. Omar, the prince of Turgistan. He had fucked up real bad and had list his girl. We were all so sad for him, especially, because she was a good person to him apparently.

Mikail's Layla gave him a life changing advice which shocked us all. Not that she was dumb or something, but we never expected her wisdom to be that deep, especially since she was just 17 years old.

Then and there, I decided that she was my new little sister to the discomfort of Mikail. Mikail had really changed so far. The once ruthless I'm loving man had changed to the overprotective lover. You can call him paedophile if you want but he was truly in love with that 17 year old girl.

Mikail's 17 year old wife made us some delicious pasta with Layla's favourite chicken nuggets. She was undoubtedly a very great cook. Excuse me to say even better than my own woman. She herself even said to my surprise. Women usually like compliments all to themselves but Layla really gave the compliment to Mikail's wife.

We spoke for so long until it was time to go. I was especially happy to be leaving, because I had a lot of things to handle and a lot of love making to do.

We got to the jet station when I got a calm that Terror, the man I was keeping in my captive, had escaped. If he had escaped, that meant that Layla wasn't safe and our little creation too.

She still couldn't remember him that much and the crap he told her. I didn't want what happened to Omar to happen to me. Omar's father used to be a good man but now, he was so power obsessed. It was very eccentric of him.

I knew that Layla was going to find out my real identify, sooner or later. I was just wondering how her reaction would be. This life just became tougher.

Layla

I knew something was wrong with Eldar. He didn't even hear me when I called him 3 times already. Anytime this happened, it meant something as very wrong and I was involved.

"Hey baby?" I called out one last time while placing my head on head laps. He then snapped out of his stupor and turned his attention to me

"Baby? Are you alright? Is it hurting?" He asked. I just smiled at him and shook my head. He nodded.

"You're hurting me Eldar. I know you are hiding are something from me and it's hurting a lot" I whispered while slowly dozing off. He signed and kissed me lightly.

"I'll tell you when the time is right baby" he promised. His eyes were truthful but I didn't believe him.

"Say it while you have time Eldar. I may not be here forever" the calming senses of darkness enveloped me and Eldar's tearful eyes were the last things I saw.

Hours later....

Layla woke up at home. Elder was not there like he was supposed to. She felt lonely. He promised to leave all his mafia duties at least for the last four months of her pregnancy.

She found a note on the bedstand.

I always want to be with you. But right now I have to leave and to make sure that you're safe. I'll meet you in the evening

She felt very much unhappy. All she could do was to pray that nothing bad was happening to him. Her abdomen gave her a sharp pain. It wasn't supposed to be. She walked to the bathroom to take her bath with tears in her eyes. She was crying over Eldar. She had a feeling that something very wrong was happening and she was between all that. She was in the bathroom when she slipped on the stray soap that was lying on in the tiled floor.

The only thing she saw was blood. She had fallen flat on her tummy and she blacked out. She prayed to God that her baby be saved because such a fall, it would be very rare if the baby survived.

Where was Eldar? Why did he leave? What was going on?

She woke up later to find herself in a hospital with all the guys around her. Muneera sat down beside Suleiman sobbing. She looked round. They were all oblivious of the fact that, she was awake.

"What's going on?" She said in a low voice. They all snapped their heads up and stared at her with shocked eyes.

Muneera was the first to rush to her and hug her, followed by the rest of the guys. She didn't understand what was up with all this emotional moment. She has fallen down in the bathroom and that was all she could remember.

Eldar remained stationary at his sitting position, never once looking at her. She knew something was wrong. She stared at Eldar while he stared at a picture on his phone with tear filled eyes.

"Eldar?" Layla called with tears in her eyes. He couldn't look at her. The boys and Muneera walked out slowly, leaving Layla and Eldar alone in the ward.

"Eldar what's wrong?" She asked with tears flowing down her eyes. He turned his gaze at her and in his eyes she saw all a man's hidden emotions. His eyes were scarlet red from crying. What had made her Eldar cry?

"This is wrong Layla! This is!" What she saw made her gasp. He picked something wrapped in white cloth from a cot near him. It was the under developed body of a baby. Then it hit her.

Her pregnant belly was no longer there. Her baby, had expired. Their baby had expired and it was all her fault.

"N-No...El-Eldar no.. my b-baby. No!!!!" Layla screamed out of trauma. Eldar placed his dead baby down gently and hugged Layla very tight.

"It's alright baby...it's alright" he consoled but all wasn't alright. She had lost their baby. And even made Eldar cry.

"I-I k-killed what w-we s-share??.." She stuttered while large balls of tears drop down her eyes.

The pain she was feeling now, was like thousands of thorns piercing through her body. She had lost she and Eldar's baby. The loss of a child, is one of the greatest pains on the world. And here she had not only lost her child, she had lost her life and her sanity.
