Rahul's pov

My mom don't like to celebrate her birthday because years back , on her birthday she got to know about my dad's affair and about his illegitimate son. She was broken and even locked herself inside a room for a whole day. Rithika and me were outside the room crying and calling her but she doesn't respond which gives us more fear. But thank god somehow she went through everything didn't do anything stupid.

After that day we have only seen them fighting all day and night. But I wanted to celebrate her birthday because she is a woman who deserves all happiness in this world. If she would have give up on her life and us then there won't be this Singania empire.

Actually this jewellery is my mom's which was given by my grandmother for mom because this is one of our heirloom. My so called dad took this from her gave it to that slut with much difficulty I got this back from them . I can buy tonnes of jewellery for my mom but that can't replace this valuable one . That's why I decided to gift the jewellery but later changed my mind because it will only hurt my mom more . If my mom have seen this when Anjali was here then I really don't know how she will react i don't want to loose such a happy day because of that stupid girl.

Our family and friends were already arrived at birthday party. My mom was talking with my aunt and Geetha aunty. Rajveer , my uncle , Karan and me were having drinks while Rohit and Rithika was with Vihaan and Ahana.

Sanjana came with the birthday cake. Party went well as planned . Mom looked really happy and that's enough for me.

" Radhika aunty , what Rahul gave you as your birthday gift " Sanjana was sitting beside my mom .

" Nothing " my mom replied with a smile. Everyone got surprised with her reply.

" Ok don't worry I am giving my gift now. I am giving you a wish card. You can wish anything to me except my marriage " everyone laughed at my gift were my mom made a sad face.

"Ok I won't bother my son with marriage . You can marry anyone when you wish but before my death. " She said.

" Mom please "..

" Change the topic quickly other wise my mom will start to talk about my marriage " Rajveer wisperd to me .

" So my wish is , Tomorrow you are free I want to go for shopping with my son. That's my wish " she replied.

" Ok wish granted " I said.

" Then I also want to go for shopping with my son " Gayatri aunty said looking at Rajveer and Rajveer began to give me killer looks.

" Then we will go together . Aunty and I will also join with you. It will be fun right Rahul " Sanjana said with an excitement.

Shopping is the most boring thing I ever seen and experienced in my life and that's with a group of ladies this will kill me.

Anjali's pov

I didn't slept for whole night thinking about yesterday's incident. Tossing on bed from one side to other. Finally I made my mind to ask for an apology from that bitch Sanjana Arora and I don't have much time. I took my phone and dialled her number after trying for many times she finally picked my call.

"Sanjana mam it's me Assistant Anjali. " Said me

" What is it? " ohhh that arrogance in her voice I wanted to pull out her tongue.

" I am really sorry for yesterday's incident mam . I know I went overboard but I am really guilty for what I have done. Please forgive me for my mistake" I said with maximum politeness.

" I am little busy right now and I want you to apologise me in person. After a couple of hours I will be at central mall , come there and meet me " she ordered and cut the phone.

" Who was it ? Begging for apology from someone in this morning " Aleen enquired.

" The great Sanjana Arora . Where is Jennifer ?" I didn't saw her from morning .

" She went to church . Its almost time she will be here soon " Aleen replied.

" Why you didn't go with her? '" I asked

" I don't have anything to wish or anything to protect then why should I go there to break my knees. Who is advising me to visit church I never seen you visiting any temple " she mocked me because she knows I never go to temple.

After sometime Jennifer also came back from church .

" Shall we go for shopping girls? " from what I said everyone looked at me with a look like, seriously Anjali ?

I explained my situation to them and they understood that. Without wasting a second we trio went to central mall. It was a huge luxurious mall , actually I really planned for a shopping after meeting with Sanjana but now I changed my mind because if we shop from here our Wallets definitely going to have a hole. Two hours already passed plus one extra hour too finally I saw Sanjana entering into mall with her aunt. She is always pestering around her aunt and that women is spoiling her niece like she is her own child. I wonder if her aunt had her own daughter then how she would have treated her.

But to my surprise behind them , almost all Singania's were there including Rajveer sir and his two little kids. It was really embarrassing moment for me to apologise infront of everyone but still I managed.

Rahul went with his mother and ofcourse Sanjana followed him like his dog . He told me to tag along with them with a hesitation I followed don't know how he wants to insult me this time.? If I ever knew that this kind of arrogance shits were waiting for me to handle in India I wouldn't have took a flight to here.

But one thing about Rahul was really nice that he is really a good son for his mother mom. Usually boys never go with their mothers for shopping and all but he does. what's eye sore for me was Sanjana and her aunt. They were really getting into my nerve. Her aunty Dr Geetha Arora , she was doing all shopping for her one and only niece. But Sanjana doesn't even bothered to ask does her aunt needs anything Actually I was really jealous . Even though she isn't her mother still her aunt likes her like own daughter. Buying all those expensive things, taking care of her , going for shopping together , having dinner together . Aleen was lucky when compared to me she atleast has a mother but for me I don't even have one.

Watching Sanjana and her aunt from distance I really wished that I also need a mom like her not like my original mom who doesn't even cared for her child not even for once in her life time. She left me and selected her own life and career. I hated her since my childhood and dad he doesn't even showed me a photo of her but he always loved her inside in his heart. Whenever I talked bad about her he always scold me. Don't know how my dad is right now . I wish he is fine and safe .

" Sorry dad your daughter grown up like a coward and incompetent lad who couldn't even help my dad with anything " I mumbled to myself.

Rajveer's Pov

There are lots of work to do but here I am stuck with this stupid things . To add up more Ishika was also tagging along with me like a parasite. If it wasn't for kids I would have ran out from this place. Vihaan and Ahana was crying for doing ice skating for which I said a no and they went to play vedio games with a sad face. I don't want to yell at them but I can't control my anger. Moreover either me or them know about ice skating what if they fell and injure themselves. That will be more hurting for me. When they were kids due to lack of immunity ,my kids were almost spent every time at hospital. Those time I understood how important is mother's milk for kids and my so called ex wife doesn't even cared about it. I never wish to see my kids in hospital for anything. It will be my mom and dad always take them to hospital for vaccinations and all because I can't see them in pain . If I see those needles piercing through their soft skin before them I will start to cry.

For kids I am a strict dad let it remain like that .

" Here your coffee " Ishika brought me a coffee

" It would have been better if we go to some cafe and talk a little " she said with all fake sweetness that she can bring.

" I am not here to talk with you , I am here for my kids. " Without any emotion I replied.

Karan was watching kids but I need him now more than kids to save me from this girl. She was blabbering about many things which I doesn't even know or I have any interest but she has no intentions to stop.

" Rahul is calling me for something . I will be right back " Karan came to me and informed.

" Yeah go ahead " I told him to go.

" Ishika stay here with kids I will just come now " I excused myself to go to washroom.

When I returned back after a couple of minutes Ishika wasn't there plus my kids were also missing. I tried her phone but it was out of coverage area. A jolt of electricity ran through out my body thinking about something worst. But I get a grip on myself and looked around the playstation .

When I reached near to ice skating parea I noticed two kids which was as same age as my kids and they seemed very happy and excited. A girl was holding vihan in her one hand and a girl on other hand. Suddenly they faced me. It was my kids and what surprised he was the girl. It was Aleena one of my designer. I slowly moved towards the skating area with a knitted eyebrows. What was inside my mind I don't know. I stood there for sometime and watched them closely.

My kids were really happy , Aleena was also good at ice skating . She was holding them with much care and safety , taking rounds , going straight , coming back . I didn't stopped them instead I watched them silently. While taking a round Vihaan fell down and I urged to ran towards his side but stopped myself when I saw him laughing. I never saw my kids laughing like that when they are with me . Aleena she was also laughing with them helping Vlihaan to get up and she adjusted his helmet. Ahana already started to skate alone slowly Aleena was just behind her holding Vihaan and helping Ahana not to fall.

My heart ached at somewhere seeing them together a guilt rushed into my mind. I never let them know about their mother just because of my hate. She abandon them at the most crucial time and now she came back to snatch away my kids. Nowadays a great fear is haunting me thinking that if their mother appears infront of them and claim for their custody what should I do ? What if my kids say that they don't want me and they want to be with their mother. I have never be nice to my kids eventhough I love them more than anything. I came back to reality when I heard a whistle sound and it was one of gaurds asking them to leave the yard because their time was over.

That happy face of them suddenly changed to sad one. I slowly walked towards their side and stood infront of them. What surprised me was that when my kids saw me they just hide behind Aleena and she stood infront of me surprised.

" Sir "

" Vihan , Ahana come with me " I forwarded my hands towards them.

" Oh, you are their Hitler " she suddenly sealed her lips tightly when she realised what she said now.

" Sorry I didn't know that these are your kids . They just wanted to play so I gave them a company . " She tried to give me an explanation which I doesn't even wanted.

Kids came to my side and we walked away from there. They were turning back and giving her all hand waves when I suddenly wanted to turn back and look at her and I did. She quickly lowered her hands when she saw I am watching her.

" Where were you ? I told you to watch kids " Ishika came infront of me from nowhere and I yelled at her.

" Sorry I had to attend an important call " she replied.

After all shopping Chaos we went to a restaurant for a family lunch . Kids doesn't seems happy because I stopped them playing further. Even if it was for an hour I think they really liked Aleena because they never get close to others that much easily.

After the lunch kids went with my mom and dad since Rahul, Karan and me have to visit some place as part of our work. Before getting into the car we saw Aleena, Anjali and Jennifer who was HR department staff. together walking with icecream on their hands. I thought I was the only one who noticed them but no both Rahul and Karan were watching them like hungry dogs who were eyeing on chicken peice.

" They are staying together . They were friends for a long time " said Karan without even asking. Rahul and me looked at Karan with a forrowed eyebrows like, how does you know that ?

" Anjali said that to me . She stays with Jennifer and Aleena . You guys know Jennifer she is working at Singania HR department for about an year " said Karan like he was convincing us something.

" Ya I know now take the car " Rahul gave a nice punch on his back and said. I chuckled softly and get into the car.
