Chapter 29

Adith's POV:

              The moment Krisha told me about my son something blocked my throat and I couldn't breath. My son was alive. I was told he was dead. Then how's that possible.

             I was confused, was it true or she's planning something new. I decided to check so I followed her to the hospital.

           My mom, she met my mom and they were crying. Standing afar I saw people running into the ICU, Krisha dashed inside along with them. I couldn't contain anymore. I went inside, what I saw made my heart syringe in pain and guilt.

     My little chicken

             He was actually my son. He was given a shock treatment my baby's body jerked badly shaking my world.

        Aarav was my son.

    My son, Krisha's back hit my chest bringing me back to reality. I left the place with shame and guilt. I was unaware of my own son.

              These many days I was blaming my little chicken dad for being so horrible in reality it was me. I was that horrible father, a very horrible daddy.

        I sat in the middle of the road because everything was blank. I heard many honks and screams but all I could see was my son's face. What kind of a terrible father I was?

      I was dragged by someone and shoved at the corner. I didn't know how long I sat there. Someone shook me "Sir, are you okay?" I turned around coming back to senses and find me sitting with a street dog. "This is the correct place for you. You jerky horrible father. " Yelled my heart.

       My son, how was he? What was the time? The sky was dark, I ran back to the hospital and found the ICU corridor empty. Inquiring the reception I reached my son's room.

              He was sleeping with few tubes connecting his chest, a saline IV pricing his delicate hand. I couldn't control my tears, Krisha was sleeping sitting on the chair next to my baby holding his delicate fingers.

            I didn't had any guts to touch my son so after seeing him from afar I went to my house. I broke down in front of my dad and told him that Aarav was actually my biological son and his grandson.

             He was taken aback and shocked. Because few years back both of us were forced to believe that my son was dead.

             "I felt it Adi... I felt an unexplainable connect with my grandson the moment I held him. Stop crying my boy. We have to be happy actually we should celebrate. I got my grandson." Told dad shaking my shoulder.

               "He's in the hospital daddy, struggling for his life." I said holding him tight for some strength.

           "After a long time I got my son but I'm scared he would go away from me dad. I'm scared." I told him.

          "It's all that Krisha's mistake. The nerve of the girl to keep my grandson away from me." He yelled.

             "No dad... No it's my mistake I should have checked on them in the past three years. Its my mistake." I cried on my dad's lap.

             "Come. Let's go to the hospital." He tried to pull me up.

           "No... No... No I can't see him like that. My guilt is killing me. I can't see my son like that... I can't see my little chicken suffering." I cried.

         "I have never seen you cry Adi. Not even in your childhood. You are a brave man, a man not supposed to cry my boy. Come on. Relax." He tried to console me.

            "I can't dad. I just can't. Maybe Aarav being my blood is not helping me to calm down. If I had been with my son I would have never let anything happen to him. I failed as a father daddy. " I cried on.

           I neither go to the hospital nor let my dad go leaving me alone. I was so scared and suffocated. For the first time in my life I was afraid to face the reality. My dad used his sources to find out about my son. He was shifted to the normal ward and he was feeling better that's when I gathered up some hope and energy to meet my son.

           I went to the hospital and saw Krisha on the way nearby pharmacy, I was ashamed to meet her. I walked passed and reached the room my son was in.

            There he was sitting on the bed and playing with a toy car I gifted him. He looked all pale and tired but still the life in his eyes was too much to be normal.

         The moment he saw me, his eyes lit up and his hands stretched "Daddyyyyy...!" He yelled.

               Without wasting a second I took him in my arms and hugged my son tight. Kissing him all over his face and body I let few tears leave my eyes.

              "Are you okay?" I asked ruffling his hair.

              "Supal(superb) daddy. " he said and kissed me.

           "I missced yovu. See my hand." He showed me his IV and squeezed his lips. I pulled him to my chest and kissed him. My dad hugged both of us and kissed Aarav.

        "You are all alone here my boy." Asked dad.

            "Paati wevnt to brivng chood (food) thatha. Mommy wevnt to buy medichane(medicine). Daddy I don't want inju(injection. It pains. " he told squeezing his lips as well as my heart and hugged me with glossy eyes.

My little chicken.

          "No... If my baby don't want it. Then we will not go for injection." I told him and sat on the bed rocking him carefully without disturbing his IV.

             The door open to reveal Krisha with a bag of medicines. She dropped the bag in shock with pooling eyes. "Baby.... Covme heal(here). Yovu knowvv this is my daddy. Daddy thavt's my baby." My sweet son introduced me to his mother.

      I avoided any eye contact with her and hugged Aarav, I knew she was crying. Wiping her tears she picked the bag of medicines. Pulling a chair for my dad to sit she left the room wiping her tears again.

        "Daddy.... I wavnt choci." My baby bird asked me showing his pearly white teeth. I kissed his forehead and arranged for it. My son asked me for something for the first time. I would give him a chocolate mountain.

               Dad went to meet doctor, while I made myself comfortable with my son. Deep inside my heart I had a feeling that something was wrong with Aarav and his treatment. I have to find it.

           After few hours my mom came inside, I was so happy and emotional at the same time to meet her after a long gap but she glared at me and left leaving the lunch in the table.

            I tried feeding Aarav but he was so adamant that he wanted Krisha to feed him. She entered the room but didn't even gave me a glance. She looked tired, pale and worried with red eyes. She might have cried a lot.

             She was feeding Aarav and he was chanting something with his baby voice, I felt a strange satisfaction and happiness seeing my wife spoon feeding my son.

            Suddenly, Krisha's betrayal didn't bother me like it always did, all I though about was a happy family with my wife and son.

                What kind of feelings I was going through, yesterday I was hating Krisha with passion today my heart was convincing me to apologize her.

             With a confused state of mind I decided to leave because only one attendee should stay with my son and I let Krisha to be.

             "Daddy... No go.. Pleachhh" my son pleaded. I spoke with the management and stayed with my son and wife that night. The fact that Krisha didn't even spared a glance at me was hurting my heart.

      Was she angry?

            Aarav leaned on me but held Krisha hand and slept that night. I decided to start a conversation but Krisha was fast asleep in the chair.

             A week passed my mom was still angry. She avoided me and neglected dad, my dad couldn't handle her negligence and was being moody.

             On the day of Aarav's discharge before Krisha could pay I cleared off all the bills and carried Aarav to my car. Before I could get it Krisha held Aarav's hand.

           "Come daddy, we have to go to our house." She said pulling my nerves.

           "I'm taking my son to his actual home. I've been away from him for years but not anymore. You kept my son away from me Krisha now don't you dare take him away from me." I warned her. My blood started boiling how could I leave my son alone after knowing he was alive, I have all the right on him.

             "Aarav... Daddy. Come na let's go. " she ignored me and spoke to my son.

            "Baby... I gov wivth my daddy. Yovu covme wivth us. Wev all wivll plavy. " he told Krisha and hugged my neck.

           She looked broken, flashing a  victorious smirk I got into my car and left the place. "Daddy... Stop stop... Baby not in car. " told Aarav patting my cheek.

            "She will come let's go first." I told him. Yes, she has to come by herself. Like hell I would call her to my house myself. She lost that respect and significance in my life. If she wanted my son and me she had to come to me.

         My dad arranged a room for Aarav with all his favorite toys and a car bed. My little chicken was too much exited and was jumping up and down.

          "Daddy... Whevre ich(is) baby? Why che didvn't covme?" Aarav asked me. I consoled him and looked at the door. Krisha can be extremely adamant at times, couldn't she just set her ego aside and come home for our son? My mom... She was being extremely hard and yelling at me and my dad. After years both my wife and my mom were about to step my house.

       It was half passed seven in evening "I wavnt baby... You chaid Che wivll covme... Whevre is che? I want baby..." Aarav started crying. 

                I consoled him and decided to go to Krisha's house. Then I had to deal with that women and bring her here because I couldn't live without my son. Not anymore.

     I hate you for what you are making me to do Krisha.....

Vijay's POV:

              "Don't tell me you didn't inject the medicine to that small boy." I asked my doctor in a deadly tone.

             "Sir... Actually his father Mr.Adith was all around him. He was asking so many questions about the medicines and treatment sir. He would find out. So we had to wait for the correct situation. " he told me.

            "Aaaarrrrrggggg..." I threw everything on my table and dismissed him.

              "Why do you have to come back now Adith... I planned everything. But you had to intervene , never mind I will plan something bigger now. This time your son will die from your own hands, my Krisha will blame you for it and will come running back to me. I will have her forever. "

         I called Anand uncle and asked " Uncle, I need your help. You and aunty should come her." I told him and cut the call.

           Then I called my assistant "Hello... Fix an appointment with Mr. Manohar. I want to meet him."

          "Sir, may I come in. " followed a knock.

             "Yes..." I called him in.

              "The DNA reports are here sir. It's positive. It's a perfect DNA match sir. Aarav is Adith's son. Do you want me to change the reports?" He asked me. That's why I wanted to kill that boy Aarav. He might be innocent but he was Adith's son.

          "No... Let it be. Give me the reports. " I got it from him

         "Now, Anand uncle will help me kill Aarav." I told him.

         "Sir... Does he hate his grandson that much to kill him?" He asked me.

         "Who said? He loves Aarav so much and waiting for a opportunity to meet him. It was I who kept Anand uncle away from Aarav." I told him.

          "Then how will he kill Aarav?" He asked me.

        "Wait and Watch" I said with a evil plan formulating in my brain.

PRECAP :

       " My husband didn't want me anymore, my son... he left me and went to Adith. Why am I even surviving? For whom I should live this life? No one is gonna cry for me if I die. Not my parents, my love. No one. Why am I even living and crying for everyone in my life. I think it's time for me to explore another world. It's time to end all my pains and tears forever. "I wanted to fall down but a strong pair of hands held me.
