CHAPTER:11

AFTER 3 YEARS

AARDHAYA POV:

"Ma" somebody is poking me, I instantly knew who is it.

My sweet problem maker...

I opened my eyes and instantly he closed his eyes trying to act.

"So, ghost appeared out of nowhere and disturbed my sleep" I said out and started tickling him at sides of his tummy.

His giggles filled my ears...

"Is Ansh going to give ma a good morning kiss or without letting me complete he kissed on my cheek.

"Come let's get you ready" I said and picked him up from bed and carried him to bathroom

I applied paste on his favourite motu and patlu tooth brush, and then bathed him.

He is such a trouble maker, soaked me too.

I wrapped him in his little towel and I did my bath in relaxing hot water.

After a good amount of spending time in shower, I came back only to find Ansh sleeping peacefully in his crib.

I don't like to make him sleep in crib, because it makes me lonely.

Kissing his chubby cheeks, I wore formal shirt and pants.

Not after a much time, I got ready and same time my mobile rang.

Id shows Advith...

He has became my best friend more like a brother to me. These three years everyone whom I believed left me alone but Advith never left me alone.

He stood up for me and with me, along with me he too came out of restuarant just to prove I'm victim.

Smilingly I picked up the call

"Finally...I thought you're ignoring me" he said

"I wish I could" I said in teasing way

"Fine.... ignore me all you want but sis you have to bare with me this life time" he said and we together laughed out loud.

"Fine..tell me for what do I owe this morning call"

"Yeah...I forget that my car is in service,drop Ansh at my home, Harsh and Manya are home too. Sushi will take care of them while we go and attend the event" he said

"Ok...fine then I will pick you in half and hour" I said hung up.

I packed up all Ansh stuff in a back pack along with his timetable.

Dressing him up in his little jeans and T-shirt. He woke up and started playing with things he sees.

I laughed and captured a picture of Ansh.

I carried him by my hip and his necessities on other hand while hoping down the stairs of my home.

Being a parent isn't easy, especially when you gave birth to a very active one.

I carefully placed him in carseat and buckled him with seat belt.

After 20 minutes, I drove to Advith place and knocked on door.

Sushi bhabhi, opened the door.

"Aardhaya, come Harsh is irritating me with same question. When will Aaru Atha(aunt) comes with ansh" she said while taking ansh's bag.

"Where are my cuties" I said out loud enough for them to hear..

"Atha......" Harsh came and hugged my legs with his tiny hands.

I gave sleeping ansh to sushi and picked him up and kissed his cheeks.

Harsh is Advith three year old son and elder to Ansh by a year.

While asking him about his kindergarten teacher and friends I lost time.

"Aardhaya, come yaa. We have a event to attend" Advith scolded me.

I nodded and asked about Manya

"She is sleeping, pray to god that she will be awake when you return" sushi said and smiled

Manya is Advith two month old baby girl. She is such a princess, Advith is so happy that he is father of a girl saying that he will treat her like a baby forever bla bla....

I kissed ansh forehead and waved at him.

"Bye....ma will be back soon" I said with that me and Advith started going for an event.

I forget to tell you, I and Advith together started an event management company, 3 years back after moving to Banglore city in Karnataka from Hyderabad city in Andhra Pradesh.

We faced alot of struggles for almost a year after starting company. Either it's personal and professional.

After 3 months of starting the company, I came to know that I'm pregnant with ansh.

He took care of me just like a brother and gave me timely medicines and food no matter where we are for an event.

Never in these months Sushi, misunderstood both of us. I'm very thankful for both of them.

With that we are here infront of house adress that client gave us to meet for the discussion of their daughter marrige.

"Can't you tell them to meet us tommorow is office. Today is Sunday Aardhaya" Advith whined like a child.

"Common, Advith it's just a details for event. It's not like that we are spending our whole Sunday here" I said and hoping off the car.

We made our way inside the house,no scratch that mansion.

"Who are you" a guy around mid thirties asked us.

"What with these, rich fellows. We told them that our appointment is at 10 and nobody is here" Advith said to me.

"Shhhh, Advith..." I silenced him

"We are AA event organisers" without letting me complete the sentence he said

"Oh..ya sir told me to inform when you arrive, please have seat" he said and went away.

After a while, women may be in teens brought us tea and snacks to eat.

We declined politely, Advith is becoming more impatient second by second.

"What's with you today, so impatient " I said.

"Manya is sleeping more and more ya, I will get only a day in week to spend my whole day with her but this Sunday is destroyed by this rich, timing less but stopped by seeing at something exactly back side of me.

I turned around eagerly to see what made him stop his talk.

"Aardhaya" Santhoshi my once mother in law called me

Followed by Husband or what should I name him, and Yuktha sticking to him like a second skin finally Girish.

Yes...you heard it right Girish. Once those who left me that night when needed are infront of me.

Advith held me by my shoulders to give me comfort but the incidents happened that night made me realize that I'm same naive women.

I don't know what happened after that, I ran out of the house followed by Advith and we reached his house.

I ran immediately and searched for my baby....

"Ma..ma" he said when I opened door of Manya room.

I ran and hugged him to my chest immediately...

"Will you leave me like they left me?"

"Will you leave me like your dad without a name to our relationship?!" I asked again and cried, again and cried!!

I know he don't understand why I'm crying but my poor baby, wiped my tears and hugged me by throwing his arms around my neck.
